you, Mr.. Perkins!" He then laid
a big, square, soft hand in mine
for the fraction of a second, and
the next one behind me got it.
The hand was warm, but there
was no pressure in it, and for a
good reason, for perhaps $4,000
people had already taken his hand

ment's notice we passed on, and
next to the President stood his

way. | had time to catch a
glimpse only of a kindly face
framed in hair, dressed in an old

such an ordeal.
This was a typical American
crowd of the better class. every

proud of such a country and such

gentleman, as we passed down
stairs to go out at the eastern
gate, say he had shaken hands
with President Lincoln there
fifty-seven years ago. I then re-
called the different presidents

and how their hands felt. Har-
rison had a slender, wiry hand,
but gave a real shake, as did
Roosevelt, but the latter had a
nervous jerk and hard fingers;
Cleveland's hand was big and
rough; McKinley's soft as Hard

Teddy grinned and chuckled as
he shook hands. I never shook.

McNairy County independent. (Selmer, McNairy County, Tenn.) 1902-1969, 1922-01-13
within the next year or two.

Tennessee's part of the funds
provided under the federal aid
act is a little more than $1,000, :
900. By matching this with
county and state funds of an
equal amount $3,500.000 would
be available with which to con-
struct highways during the next
IL months. If the entire amount
were utilized it would mean only
about 130 miles, or about 45 miles
in each grand division.
There are many counties that
will not take advantage of the
federal aid act-some because
they are lacking in progressive
ness, others because they have
had unfortunate experiences in
their first attempt to construct
good roads.
Under present conditions a
county, such as Shelby for ex-
ample, after sending to the cap.
ital $175, 900 a year for automo-
bile taxes, to be distributed
throughout the state, may still
be progressive enough to raise
additional funds with which to
construct good roads, and yet
find itself bottled up because the
adjoining counties have not the
means with which to connect
Shelby highways with good roads
of their own.
We have not gone thoroughly
into the plans suggested, but il
is becoming increasingly obvious
that there will be adequate roads
in the state only when the state
itself devotes sum to the con-
struction of roads to carry them
through the length and breadth
of the state.
The plan to issue $4,000, 600 in
bonds, with the expectation OF
spending approximately $40, OOO,-
600 a year for five years, is pat
termed after an act which has
met with considerable approval,
and will be submitted to the Ken.
lucky legislature in January.
North Carolina has passed a bond
bill similar to the one advocated
for Tennessee, and at the present
time that state is constructing
good roads at the rate of about
three miles to everyone mile con.
structed in Tennessee.
One obstacle in the way Of
the passage of such an act in
Tennessee is the prejudice which
exists against the state highway
commission. The highway com.
mission distributes the mill tax,
and also receives one-half of the
total amount received from auto.
mobile taxes, the other half being
divided equally among the 81
counties. This gives the high
way commission quite a large
sum of money to spend on roads
There is an impression that tn,
results obtained from this ex
penditure are not proportional
to the amount expended. Unles
each of the 95 counties is assured
of its quota, it would scarcely b.
worth while to advocate the pas
sage of a bond issue. Som
counties would not agree to leav

Different WAYS FOR
MAKING Sailed NUTS
Two Methods Recommended by
Department of Agriculture.
If Green or UnbIanched Product Is
Used Blanch in Boiling Water to
Loosen Skin-Leneth of Time
to Brown Varies.

Prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Almonds, pecanS, peanuts, or any
other preferred nut-meats may be
sailed for the table. There are several
ways of browning the nuts with butter
or oil, and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture recommends
either of the following methods for
home use.
If green or unblanched nuts are
used they must be first blanched in
boiling water for five minutes to
loosen the skins. Use two cupfuls Of
water to one cupful of shelled nuts.
Drain, remove skins, ano let dry, over
night If possible.
Method I.
Drowning the nuts in the oven.)
Put one-half cupful of nuts and l
teaspoonful of oil in fiat pan and
roast in moderately hot oven, about
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, for 5 min
utes. If roasted peanuts are used, or
10 to Is minutes if green or unroasted
nuts are used. Stir frequently so as
to keep uniform in color. When golden
brown put between paper towels or on
brown paper TO drain off any excess
of fat. Put on waxed paper anc
sprinkle with salt in the proportion
of teaspoonful to each cup of nuts.
A larger amount of salt may be used
IL desired,
Method III.

broiled or sauteed Outlets are usually
taken from the round, although, when
Dreaded and fried, the cheaper shoul-
der cuts are quite satisfactory.
Roasts.
Roasts are frequently cut from the
leg, from the loin and from the rack or
rib. The shoulder may be boned for a
roast. The breast, boned and rolled
is excellent for this purpose.
Veal Loaf, JeIied Veal and scalloped
Dishes.
Veal loaf may be made from any cut
which can be conveniently freed from
bone and cartilage. The meat should
be ground fine, seasoned and shaped
into loaf Oil the surface well with
bacon or beef drippings, brown quickly
in hot oven, then bake slowly until
we'll DONE
Jellied veal can be made from any
of the bony cuts. Season we'll and
simmer slowly in a small amount of
water until we'll done. Free the lean
meat from bone, cartilage and excess
fat, arrange it in a bowl or dish and
cover with strained broth. Chill until
the mass gelatinizes.
Scalloped or creamed dishes may be
prepared from any scraps Of cooked
veal. Use the broth, rather than milk,
in making the sauce or gravy. Tim
bales may be made by lining timbale
molds or custard cups with plain
boiled rice, and filling with creamed
veal, being careful not to have too
much gravy. Cover the top with rice,
stand the molds in steamer or in
pan of hot water and cook for 20 min
utes. Turn out upon dish and serve
hot.
Brains, Sweetbreads, Tongue, Liver
and Heart.
Calves brains are usually cooked in
water, to. which a little vinegar and
salt have been added, then cut up and
scrambled with eggs Cooked brains
may also be Dreaded and fried like
outlets or croquettes.
Sweetbreads are usually parboiled
and creamed, but they may be baked
with a little fat, or Dreaded and fried
as outlets. For salad, combine finely
chopped celery with the boiled sweet
breads and serve with mayonnaise
dressing.
The liver is usually fried with ba-
con. It is also good if praised and
served in place of game.
The tongue, either fresh or corned,
may be boiled and served hot with
tomato sauce or sliced cold and served
with salad. A fresh tongue may be
praised.
Hearts may be boiled, or stuffed and
baked. The heart is very strong,
compact muscle and requires long,
slow cooking in order to render it sat

of Agricuture.)
veal, contrary to the common belief
is wholesome and easily digested, exper-
lments carried on by the United States
Department of Agriculture have
Shown. Much of the prejudice against
veal is a result of improper methods of
preparation. 1t is a palatable meat,
resembling the white meat of chicken
In flavor. If eaten when served rare,
or even underdone, veal is unappetiz-
ing and may cause some discomfort.
The results are also unsatisfactory If
veal is overlooked either by vigorous
boiling or by roasting at a high tenn
perature. Because of the rather mild
navor veal dishes are improved by
seasoning with certain vegetables and
herbs, such as carrots, onions, green
peppers, celery, parsley or thyme.
The office of home economics of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture has drawn up suggestive list of
cuts suitable for various dishes. This
list is not at all arbitrary and need not
be slavishly followed. Cuts from the
fore quarter of veal and few of the
tougher cuts from the hind quarter
may require long cooking by such
methods as stewing and braising, while
the loin, the leg and the rib cuts are
desirable for roast and entrees.
Soups.

are the flank, the hind shank, the
knuckle of the fore shank, or the rib
ends. A well-seasoned veal soup, if
strained and chilled, makes a very ap-
petizing jelly for serving occasionally
in place of the usual hot soup.
Stews.
For stews it is well to buy the neck,
the ends of the ribs, the breast, or the
thick part of the fore shank. Some of
these cuts contain considerable soft
bone, or cartilage, which may be re-
moved from the stew before serving.
Stews should be simmered slowly,
avoiding an excess of water. The fla
vor of stew is much improved if the
pieces of meat are Drowned lightly in
little fat before adding the water.
Braised Veal.
Braising is combination of stewing
and roasting. The surface of the meat
is usually scared in hot fat, then placed
In casserole or other baking dish
with a cover; seasonings, including
vegetables, if liked, and little water
are added and the whole cooked slowly
in the oven. Such cuts as the shout
der, the breast, the fore shank, the
flank rolled), and even the neck are
suited to this method.

the nuts chance to brown uniformly.
When they are golden brown remove
the strainer from the fat and put the
nuts between paper towels or on
brown paper to drain off any excess
of fat. Put on waxed paper and salt.
Green nuts require from to min
utes to brown uniformly. Roasted pea
nuts require minutes or even less.
One teaspoonful of salt to cupful of
nuts may be used.
The length of time required to
brown the nuts depends not only upon
the quality of the nuts, but also upon
the length Of time they are allowed to

AT LEAST SHE MADE ATTEMPT

Convinced Public Speaking Is

My cousin had always been most
timid girl, finding it difficult to say
much even before home folks, let alone
strangers.
She was member of a church So
ciety. One of the rules was that each
member must take some part in the
meetings. She had tried and tried, but
could never get her courage up at the
last minute.
Finally, the leader, to help her out,
gave her some Scripture verses to read.
They read as follows: "And bring
hither the fatted calf and kill it."
Maize started the verse, and to her
utter dismay, found herself saying !:
"And bring hither the Gated half and
fill it."
She could read no further and sat
down amid giggles.-Chicago Tribune.
