monty known as the Weeks law, es-
tablished forest reservations especial
ly for the purpose of protecting the
watersheds of the great navigable
rivers which have their source in
the Appalachian mountains by pro-
tecting the forests and restoring the
deforested areas. The commission has
purchased something short of 2,OOO.-
600 acres in those mountains, and the
title is now vested In the United
States and under the control of the
Agricultural department. OF these
100000 acres some 100000 acres are
located in New Hampshire, $4,000 in
Virginia, $4,000 in North Carolina.
100000 in Tennessee, 1G3,OOO IL

These lands, while primarily puT-
chased for the purpose of protecting
the watersheds Of navigable .tvers,
are also intended as recreation
grounds for all the states lying east

One of the first vegetables in the
garden or on the market in the early
spring is that reliable standby
sninach. The shoots should be cut reg
ularly; if not, the old shoots become
tough and rank favored.
Spinach furnishes little body energy,
but it is exceptionally rich in iron ana
is one of the important vitamlneS, ana
SO is q valuable food, say specialists IN
the United States Department OF Agrl-
culture. 1t contains little starch and
only a suggestion of sugar, and Is
therefore one Of the vegetables that
physicians include in the bill OF fare
of many invalidS who require a diet
without these carbohydrates.

Like most other vegetables, II Is
rarely cooked to perfection, yet 1t Is
not difficult to prepare. Except TOT
special reasons, the simplest methods
are the best for this vegetable. NO
matter how cheap the raw spinach may
be, it is always expensive in one
thing-labor. It takes good deal or
time, water, and patience to wash 1t
clean.
To clean the spinach cut off the
roots, break the leaves apart and drop
them into large pan of water, rinse
| them well, and lift them into a second
pan of water. Do not pour the water
off over the spinach or the grit that
has been washed Off will get back on
! the leaves. Continue washing In clean
waters until there Is not a trace OF
sand on the bottom Of the pan. II the
| spinach is at all wilted, let 1t stand
In cold water until 1t becomes fresh
and crisp. Drain from this water
and blanch as follows:
For half a peck of spinach put In
large saucepan quarts of boiling
water and 1 tablespoon Of salt. Put
the drained spinach in the boiling
water and let 1t boil 10 minutes, count

When ii begins to boil, draw the cover
of the saucepan a little to one side
TO allow the steam to escape. At the
end Of 10 minutes pour the spinach
into a colander, and when the hO
water has passed off pour cold watel
over it. Let 1t drain we'll and minc'

EARTH'S SHOCKS IN AMERICA
The Two Most Disastrous Were Those
of Charleston, S. c. and OF
san Francisco.

Since the earthquake which oc-
curred in Charleston, S. c., in 1886
the San Francisco earthquake of April
IS 1906, was the most severe seismic
disturbance In this country.
The first quake was recorded at
5:13 a. M, and Immediately fire broke
out in the ruins. Owing to the de-
rangement Of the water mains this
could not be controlled. The total
loss Of life was estimated at 4'OOO'
although the exact loss in this re-
spect win never be known. The total
property loss was about $3OOOOo,OOO'
Of which a little over one-haif was
covered by insurance. The buildings
on an area of 10000 acres were al
most entirely destroyed. AS result
Of this and other seismic disturbances
chronological research was greatly
stimulated, arousing the geologists IN
this country as well as those abroad.

NTASHINGTON.-Senator Shields

Mr.. Shields-There are a great

and add the salt, pepper, and butter or
other fat. Place on the fire and cook
ten minutes Heap in a mound on a
hot dish and garnish with the hard
boiled eggs, cut In slices.
Spinach Cooked Without Water.
Fresh spinach when washed holds
enough water for cooking. Put the
spinach into a covered saucepan and
cook for ten minutes. Press down and
turn the spinach over several times
during the cooking. At the end Of ten
minutes turn the spinach into a chop
ping bowl, and mince rather fine Re
turn to the saucepan and add the sea-
sonings, allowing for half a peck of
spinach two generous tablespoons of
butter or other fat and teaspoon of
salt. Simmer for ten minutes; or If
very tender, five minutes will be Suffi-
cient.
Spinach cooked in this manner will
retain all its salts and the flavor will
be stronger than when blanched
(boiled in water). In young, tender
spinach this is not Objectionable, but
when the OvergrOwn vegetable is
cooked in its own moisture the flavor
is strong and somewhat acrid.
