EMERGENCY SOUPS OF
BACON AND POTATOES
Dish Can Usually Be Made
of Materials on Hand.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Every housekeeper is familiar with
the sudden and unexpected need for an
addition to the menu, either to fill out
a meager supply of other foods or to
take care Of extra persons by making
everything go a little farther. A very
good way to accomplish this last end
is to have an appetizing and filling
soup, so that by serving slightly small
er portions of meats and vegetables,
another plate may be filed An ac-
ceptable emergency soup Of this kind
can be made of materials usually on
hand, taking only as long to prepare as
sliced potatoes require for cooking
about 10 minutes. 1t will also supply
additional meat and vegetables. The
recipe has been tested by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
To serve six people peel and cut up
in small pieces two medium-sized DO
tatoes and start them cooking in one
quart of boiling sailed water. Mean
time fry two thin slices of bacon crisp:
take them out of the pan, and in the
same fat cook slowly two tablespoon
fuls of minced onion for five minutes.
or until tender. When the potatoes
are done, take them out of the water
and mash them, use some of the
mashed potato to blend with the bacon
fat and onion, gradually adding all of
1t, and finally the water in which the
potatoes were cooked. Cut the bacon
into very small pieces, add 1t to the
soup. Season with pepper and add a
tablespoonful of minced parsley if de-
sired, though this is not absolutely
necessary.
Celery, tomato, or small portions of
any cooked vegetable that happen to
be on hand may be added to the foun-
dat!on if mixed vegetable soup is
desired, but the bacon and potato SCUM
is appetizing without other flavor.

LAWSY, LAWsY

Two hundred and twenty new laws became effec
tive IN one state this year as a result of a recent SEES
sion of that states legislature They provide for
almost everything, from regulating the sale of
cream to compelling children to look after their in
digent parents. In making note Of the fact, an ex
change says:
We're great people for new laws.
We like lot of them-the more the merrier.
The member of the Legislature who can't think of
half dozen new laws ism t earning his salt.
OF course we might worry along without them,
but this isn't the point
Ii we didn't have the new laws how could we
break them?
Answer us that.
That's right. If we didn't have so many laws
lot Of office holders would have to go to work
The more laws we have the more criminals and
discontinued people we make

Irish stew" usually consists of beef,
lamb, or mutton, with a favoring of
onion and a good deal Of boiled potato
in large-sized pieces. By using other
combinations of vegetables and differ
ent meats, large variety Of stews can
be made, according to what happens to
be in season or on hand. 1t is best
to brown the meat in all cases before
simmering it, and the vegetables have
a better flavor as a rule If they are
cooked separately from the meat and
added to it shortly before serving. In
practically all the southern stews and
gumbos the vegetables are fried first
In butter or fat and then simmered in
very little water until tender. Onion
is usually cooked with the meat after
being fried few minutes. The direc-
tons for making a stew may be found
among many other recipes, in Farmers
Bulletin 1924, which may be obtained
as long as the supply lasts, by apply
ing to the United States Department
of Agriculture.

saucepan and half cover the meat with
hot water. Let simmer until tender
Thicker the broth with a little foul

equal amount of fat. Serve with plain
boiled or baked potatoes and a green
salad.
Vegetable Combinations.
If a combination with vegetables Ia
liked, these should be cut into small
pieces and added in ample time for
them to be thoroughly cooked without
the necessity of actually boiling the
stew. Starchy materials such as rice
or macaroni should be cooked sepa-
rately, although potatoes cut small can
be cooked satisfactorily with the meat
at the simmering temperature.
The variations which can be made
upon the plain stew are suggested by
the following list Of vegetables and
seasonings, which may be added singly
or in various combinations: String
beans, lima beans, cabbage, carrots,
celery, okra, onions, peas, peppers,
potatoes, tomatoes, and turnips; curry
powder celery seed, garlic, thyme,
marjoram, parsley, bay leaves, lemon
juice and capers.

SPENDERS AND SAVERS

The president of the savings bank division of the
American Bankers Association announced at that
Organizations 59th annual convention recently that
25OOO0OO citizens of this country nearly onefourth
OF our entire population, now have savings accounts
IN national banks state banks trust companies and
mutual savings banks. In 1912 the earliest year for
which comparable data can be obtained. there was
only about half as much money in savings accounts
as in 1922
Well it's an expensive world and plain living
costs good deal not to mention luxures and pas
times. It is little wonder that Americans who have
long been known as spenders are finding that it
helps considerably to be great savers as well.

MORNING cLoRIEs

By porch grew the morning glo-
ries. They came out to look at the
day early, early In the morning.
Some were purple and some were
pink and some were white and some
were blue.
Very bright and very gay In color
they were, though their colors we're all
soft and pretty.
! They grew upon vines, and the vines
entwined themselves over big wired
place, so that on one side Of the porch
itslooked as though it were whole

Every year some extra morning glory
seeds were planted here, though many
Of the seeds, in dropping the autumn
before, planted themselves.
They were helped, too. in their
climbing upon the wire, for when they
were beginning to grow they were not
very strong and needed help.
They were helped by the family who
lived inside the house where this porch
was. And the family planted little
sticks and gently tied the morning
glory plants to the sticks and so gave
them something to lean back upon as
they grew up along the wiring.
It was great help to the morning
glories, and they never failed to ap-
preciate 1t. III
