Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus

During the summer n meat
should be served not oftener than
once a day, and milk, eggs and vege-
tables be used in abundance.
Vegetables served in rea u
or toast make an ideal luncheon
dish. The cream sauce is nourish-
ing and is a delightful means of put
ting milk in the diet of persons who
J find this beverage unpleasant to
drink.
I There is one way to make sauce
and have it smooth and perfect.
First melt the butter in a smooth
saucepan. Do not let the butter bub-
BILE while melting. Then add the
flour, stirring constantly. The mix
ture should be perfectly smooth and
blended. Add thin cream or top milk
very slowly, stirring and cooking I'M
til this mixture is smooth and blend
ed. After the sauce is the right
thickness let boil two minutes. This
will make a that will not need
rubbing through a sieve before it is
fit to pour over vegetables. for the
flour has had no chance to lump.
A wire whisk may be used when
adding the milk and then all can be
put in at once.
A cream sauce should not be too
thick. especially if servid on toast, 2
tablespoons of butter, l rounded ia
blespoon of flour and 1 cup of milk
| make a sauce of Creamy" consist
ency.
Menu for Tomorrow
Breakfast-Sliced pineapple, broil-
ed fish. baking powder biscuit, coffee.
Observation-Disclosures stuffed with
spinach, brown bread and butter,
crullerS, tea.
Dinner-Cream of asparagus soup,
c%routons, cheese fondue, French
fried potatoes, creamed spring on
ions on toast. fruit, cup cookies,
coffee.
My Own Recipes
Broil the flesh side of fish first.
Then turn and broil the skin side
just enough to make crisp.
Tomatoes Stuffed with Spinach
Four tomatoes. 1 pound spinach. l
| egg, 2 tablespoons butter. 4 table,
| spoons dried bread crumbs, 4 tea
| spoons grated cheese, salt and pep
per.
Wash tomatoes and remove seeds.
Wash and cook spinach. Drain and
chop. Mix tomato pulp, egg slightly
beaten, spinach, butter bread
crumbs. salt and pepper. Fill toma-
to shells with this mixture. Bake in
a hot oven for 20 minutes. Five
minutes before removing from oven
put cheese on each tomato. A pinch
of sugar and a dash of cloves help
in the seasoning.

Editorials For
Women Folks

And now, Lady Limerick, in the
London Daily Sketch ome fortf
with the statement that marriage
as we have it. is a luxury. Says she;
until girls are brought up tt
know something about cleaning i;
house and working and saving
money, marriage is undoubtedly 6
luxury"
SO Lady Limerick scores the girls.
And why? Why blame the girls?
1t is not new to find that marriage
is a luxury. but that isn't the fault
of the girls. Marriage has always
been more or less of a luxury. So
are most things which tend toward
happiness.
But one gathers from figures sub
mitted that cobwebs are about to en-
mesh the wedding bells and that
weeds are about to overgrow the
path to the altar.
There is something disturbing
about that. an element of disap-
pointment even.
For never has u country been SO
prepared to turn out ready-made
! housewives. Never has it been sc
dotted with domestic science schools
with practice houses where there Is
real housework to do and where
mere are real babies to be taker
care of. Never has there beer sc
much written about household bud
gets and economical ways of doing
and dressing, yet never have there
been so many divorces and so many
old maids,
And why?
Perhaps the answer is in the fac
that life is giving itself too much tt
systematic and too little to hu
manizing nowadays. In its mad eff
fort to train to the utmost it /!

It is my idea of the finances Of this
city that they ought to be taken in hand
by men who know how to handle them
and are not tied up to any one bank
or group Of bankers.
l know there are experts on city
financing who have made a study of such
affairs and are able to outline economical
and proper methods of raising and spend
ing public money. The Bureau of MI
nicipsl Research has such experts in its
employ. Their advice and their assist
ance can be obtained by Indianapolis
and it is to sources such S these that
I propose TO look for help in solving
financial troubles.

TAKE ADVICE.

lis. Perhaps | do not. but I do claim to
know enough to know when I do not
know and to be wise enough to get the
advice Of men who do know.
AS my campaign goes on I am going
to lay before the public my ideas Of
what ought to be done TO help Indian
apOlis. 1 an not going TO promise to do
everything that l would like to see done,
but l 9m going TO promise to do every
thing l can to bring about those things
that / believe ought to be done.
In the last four years we have been

parks. more boulevards, community cen
tiers, more fire stations and other articles
more numerous than are offered at one
Of my auctions.
KNOWS WHEN
MONEY WASTED.
We have not got them, but We find that
last year the city spent enough add
tioB2l money to have provided any one
Of them.
l want to say TO the business uaen and
taxpayers of Indianapolis that l m not
financial wizard, but l know when pub
lie money is being wasted and l know
that the waste Of public money makes
taxes high and improvements scarce.
