Haze Picked Tripe for
Change on Family Table

Beef tripe, or stomach lining, is a
good food which may be preserved
by picking when beef cattle are
killed on the farm. The United States
Department of Agriculture gives the
following directions for preparing 1t:
After the tripe has been thorough
ly cleaned and rinsed In cold water, 1t
should be scalded in hot water Ga lit
tie below the boiling point. When
sufficiently scalded, the inside lining
of the stomachs may be removed by
scraping, which will leave clean,
white surface. Triple should be boiled
until tender Casually about three
hours) and then thoroughly chilled in
cold water so that the fat may be
iscraped from the outside. When this
has been done, peel off the mem
brane from the outside of the stomach,
and the clean, white tripe is ready
for picking. 1t is usually picked ia
45 grain vinegar.
The picked tripe is prepared for
use by washing and wiping it, and
after dipping convenient sized pieces
in -four or egg and bread crumbs, fry
ing it till golden brown.

In addition. it contains small amount

Artificial silk, or rayon, as it is gen
orally called, can be distinguished
from real silk because it is more lus-
trous than real silk, more stiff and
harsh, and burns like cotton with a
yellow flame that flashes along and
leaves a small amount of gray ash.
An exception is a brand Of artificial
silk recently introduced which gives
a hard ball of ash. The yarns untwist
very readily and the individual fila
ments spread apart in more or less
OF fan shape. Artificial silk is usu-
ally weaker when wet. Therefore
when garments made of 1t are laun-
dered, they should be handled care
fully and not rubbed Do not wear
rings when washing these articles, or
you may tear holes in the fabric.
Properly handled. this material is use
aful and attractive the United States

stairs, and to whisper to her that the
other Cookies were all about.
The Cookies, you know, were
dressed in little shell suits which made
them look like little sea mollusks or
mussels or shellfish as far as their
costumes of shell were concerned.
Their faces are wrinkled with happy
smiles, and they are so cunning and
Iovable that no one could help loving
them.
They gather up warm embers and
warm, lovable thoughts and they cast
glow over the innermost parts of
peoples hearts, so that whenever you
hear anyone say:
"Oh, you just warm the cookies of
my heart" you win know that the
dear, friendly, Iovable Cookies are
about
They love Maggie as she is one of
those who love to give happiness and
she gives those about her such beauti-
full feelings.
When she came downstairs, wearing
her nightie and rose-colored wrapper
and her little pink slippers, with one
of the Cookies on either side of her,
the other Cookies were standing up in
the chimney in the shape of heart.
They gathered about her as she
drew near.
Hello, Maggie" they said
Their voices made her feel happy.
You know some voices will do that.
ooh, Cookies" said Maggie, how
glad am to see you all, though
know you've been around lots and
lots of times.
won't you come sooner next timer?
And before the Cookies had left that
night what do you suppose they did?
Each one of them gave Maggie a
funny, dear little kiss. and when she
woke up the next morning she said:
81 really am ever so happy"

FiUe-Minute Cabbage Is
Best to Sape Yifamines

Il was boiled to deathl" read the
inscription on the cabbage tombstone
in 'vitamine cemetery which
formed part Of a wildly instructive
pantomIme staged by some school
children not long ago. The excellent
lesson of this entertainment, showing
the Importance of a short cooking
period for all the vegetables valued
for vitamines was easily understood
by those present, and as the dramatic
part of the lesson was followed by d.
rections fore preparing many common
vegetable foods to conserve their vita
mines, they also learned how to avoid
boiling them to death"
In addition to the fact that the vita
mines in cabbage are destroyed by
long cooking, there are several other
advantages In cooking this vegetable
as little as possible. The directions
given below by the United States
Department Of Agriculture give a
delicately favored crisp cabbage dish
which can be prepared In very few
minutes just before meal, or pre-
pared early In the day and quickly
heated at serving time. The color is
very attractive when green cabbage Is
used, and the kitchen and house are
not filled with cabbage odor
Wash and chop finely enough cab
bage to make one quart. Simmer for
about two minutes In one pint of hot
milk. adding one and one-half tea
spoonfuls of flour. Season with salt
and pepper Cover the cabbage and
heat for three or four minutes without
allowing the mixture to reach the
boiling point. The vegetable should
not entirely lose its crispness. If more
convenient, the cabbage may be
cooked in this way early in the day.

Maggie had not seen any Of the
Cookies Of the Heart in over year.
And she had enjoyed their visit
so much the time before.
They had all come to see her. Or
rather they had come for her, and
the ones who had come for her had
led her downstairs and there she had
found the others.
She had been thinking about them
that evening.
The old clock in the hall had struck
the hours many, many times, but
when the Cookies had been around
she had not seen them.
OF course she knew they had been
around. She knew that from what
they had told her before of their
ways.
But they had not been around so
they had been seen. They had kept
themselves from being seen.
And then one night, when Maggie
was in bed and asleep the old clock
in the hall, without caring whether
anyone was awake or not, kept count

 The delegation crowded into thirty automobiles and five sightseeing busses and made it's way from strike headquarters at the Manhattan Ca sino to city hall amid a din of cheer ing and horn blowing.
 The mayor announced that he would receive the delegation, although no arrangement had been made for a meeting. Extra police men were stationed at the hall, but there was no disorder.

 Governor Marian A. Ferguson wants to return 10 the capitol for second term. Mrs, Edith Williams, Of Dallas inspired by her distinction as the first woman member of the Texas legislature also desires the job, as does Mrs. T K. Johnson of San Antonio
 The Men Contestants.
 In the race to restore the man under the executive house dome are Dan Moody, attorney general; Lynch Davidson, Houston business man, and Rev. o. F Zimmerman, known as ''Zim, the Tithing Evangelist"
 Moody has concentrated his attack on the Ferguson administration. Davidson's principal plank is con- seryation Of the states natural re- sources and his slogan more busi- ness in government and less govern ment in business"
 Mrs. Johnson advocates modified tion of the Volstead act, while Mrs. William calls for strict enforcement Of the prohibition laws, reduction of taxes and reform in the care of insane persons. Mir. Zimmerman promises to crush bootleggers and drive evoluionists from the state, if given the opportunity.
 Resignation On One vote
 One feature of the campaign is Governor Fergison's offer to resign after the primary-July Eff Moody leads her by one vote, pro- vided Moody resigns if she is ahead of him by 25.00O. Moody accepted. whereupon Davidson charged the two principals with placing two of the highest offices of the state on the plane of a common crap game"
