it, a little pepper. Dip in -four and

bacon is done. Keep the fire low and
cook the liver slowly. A hot fire
makes 1t dry and leathery and the
edges. often scorch. If the fat scorches
it will not be good when you come to
make your gravy. If you want fried
onions with the liver they may be
cooked at the same time. Cut the
onions in thin round slices. When the
liver is tender and golden brown. take
it from the pan and keep 1t warm
while you make the gravy. Strain
the fat and then take two tablespoon
fuls Of It and mix with one and one
half tablespoonfuls of -four. There
will be some flour already In the fat
since the liver was Toured. Use a
cupful of milk to mix with the fat and

Season with salt and pepper. If you
prefer, pour the gravy over the liver,
or serve 1t separately. Garnish the

LIVER AND BACON
GOOD FOR DINNER
Combination Nay Well Be
Served Late in Day.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
In many parts of the country 1t
has been customary to regard liver as
a breakfast dish. According to pres
ent-day ideas about foods, however,
there are at least two good reasons
why the favorite combination Of liver
and bacon may well be reserved for
dinner. For one thing, many people
are not demanding the heavy type of
breakfast that was eaten years ago.
Meat and potatoes, doughnuts, pie
and other hearty foods have been SUI
perseded by lighter fare. Breakfast
In many households now consists of
fruit, cereal, eggs variously prepared,
bread In some form, and coffee or
cocoa.
Secondly, liver is one of the most
important meats in regard to the pro-
TEN and calories 1t furnishes the body,
ranking with round and sirloin steak
In these constituents, so it may well
take its place on the hearty dinner
menu. DIR. Henry O. Sherman Of Co
lumbia university tells us also that
liver contains all three vitamins."
ut is worth WHILE" he continues, ITO
realize that the nutritive value of
liver Is higher than that Of ordinary
meats because Of this vitamin con-
tent; and to see that liver is utilized
fully as human food" Liver is rich
source of vitamin A, sometimes called
the growth promoting vitamin, and
for that reason valuable in the diet of
children. 1t Is also good source of
vitamin B and fair source of vita
min G, both of which aid in prevent
ing certain diseases which develop If
these vitamins are lacking ins the diet.
Recent experiments have also shown
1t to be one Of the most valuable
sources of iron In cases of anemia. SO
encourage a taste for liver and serve
it fairly frequently. AS 1t is usually
accompanied by bacon and often by
fried onions these somewhat pro-
nounced favors help to modify the
characteristic liver flavor for those
who would not like it otherwise.
No distinction In food value Is
made between the various kinds of
liver-beef, calf, lamb or hog. Chicken
liver is still higher In protein than
the others.
Cook the bacon first, says the United
States Department of Agriculture, al
lowing one or two thin slices for each
person. Use broad iron skillet and
cook 1t over a slow fire, watching It to
prevent scorching or uneven cooking.
Take the pieces out and drain them
the moment they are delicately
Drowned and crisp. If you leave them
in the fat they will be greasy. While
the bacon is cooking, wipe the liver
and slice moderately thin If you did
not have the butcher do it. Many
cooks pour boiling water over beef
liver to draw out any blood remaining
on it. The outer skin and veins may
be removed If you wish. Hog and
lamb livers are improved by scalding.
Beef and calf livers are good either

lived I'm fact, so MANY rabbits lived
In the field, that 1t was called Rabbit
Village had frozen over.
."The rabbits wasted no time in send
ing out invitations for an ice-boating
party.
"They had plenty Of boards to use
as boats, and they made sails out Of
branches of evergreen trees.
1.-THE rabbits are devoted to fun, and
can always think Of ways to have the
best times imaginable
1.-THE rabbits thought they'd have
their party in the afternoon, for then
the wind blew the strongest, and in
the evening it was apt to die down.
"There were so many rabbits Iiv-
ing in Rabbit Village that the ones
who first thought of the party con-
sidered long time before they de-
cided whether or not they'd invite
any outsiders to the party.
after a meeting Of some of the
leading rabbits in the village who had
been chosen to decide this important
matter, it was agreed upon that the
possum family would be invited.

AS Told by
Irwin S. Cobb
PoNTo's FATAL ERROR

A N AMERICAN newspaper man
4 A was coming home from Europe
one summer on British liner manned
and Differed exclusively by Britishers.
The Yankee sat at the pursuer's ta-
BILE. All his table mates were English
men. One evening at dinner the pur-
ser was inclined to do little spool
ing" at the expense of the American.
He began by telling of trip he
claimed to have made on steamship
which passed through an enormous
school of whales off the Newfound
land banks.
"All of them were sound asleep"
said the purser with a wink to glee
full fellow countryman "and all of
them were snoring. The noise was
deafening."
1T must have been,' said the cor
respondent; but when was boy
out in Cincinnati, Ohio, there used to
be whistling whale that lived in the
ocean just in front of my fathers
house. His name was Ponto and he
would answer to it-answer by whis-
Ting. You see. his blowhole was
clogged with barnacles and every
time he spouted he made sound like
siren on a fireboat.
"Ponto was great pet with all the
ships that traded in and out of Gin
cinnati. The pilots got to know him..
and when they were entering port
and saw Ponto cruising about in the
channel they would signal him and he
would signal back, always giving the
correct number of blasts But he's
dead now-poor old Ponto!
zone day there was a freighter com
ing in from Covington, KY, and Ponto
tried to pass her, headed out. But
he got confused and gave the whistle.
for going to the port side when he
meant the starboard, and the freight
er ran him down and stove in four Of
his compartments. and he sank in nine
minutes, whistling for help to the very
last"
After which a silence befell at the
purser's table.

boats. and they wondered who would
be invited to the party, for they were
certain the rabbits were going to give
party.
$50 they were pleased when they re-
ceived their invitation, and when they
got to the party and found that they
were the only outside guests invited
they were still happier.
1.-THE wind was very high. And oh,
how the boats did skim across the
icel
"Such squeals of Joy. as you never
heard in all your lives came forth
from the rabbits and possums.
But, alas, dreadful accident hap
pened. In sailing over a bit of thin
Ice the sail of the boat. containing
Jimmie Possum and Harry Rabbit
fell over, and the boat went through
the ice.
"Such a cry. as Jimmie Postum and
Henry Rabbit did let off
"All the other possums and rabbits
hurried to the rescue.
Neither Jimmie Postum nor Harry
Rabbit were good swimmers, and the
water was so cold they would have
drowned at once had not old Grandpa
Rabbit, with great presence Of mind,
thrown out pole, which Jimmie Pos
sum and Harry Rabbit got hold Of,
and so were pulled out Of the ice.
Exercise, exercise; that's the best
thing after falling through the iceY
cried Grandpa Rabbit.
"And he produced a bag of skates,
which he had brought along in case
the wind had gone down or that ice
boating had grown tiresome to them
80 they all skated with as much
vim as they had shown in ice-boating,
and Jimmie Possum and Harry Rab-
bit, who both quickly recovered, en-.
joyed being the heroes of the day."

A firmly padded fiat surface covered
with clean white cloth is necessary for
good results in ironing. If space per-
mits, it is most convenient to have
table for sheets and other fiat pieces,
a board for skirts and such garments,
and a sleeve board. IL one board must
serve ell purposes, it should be fairly
long and wide, with one narrow end.
For padding the ironing board or ia
Bile the double-faced cotton flannel
used for silence cloths on dining tables
or an old blanket is good. Enough
thickness Of such material should be
used to give the surface spring with
out making 1t cushiony. Old sheets
may be used for the cover, but new UNI
bleached sheeting is better and not ex-
pensiye, as the width of the sheeting
will make the length of the cover. The
cover may be hemmed and four pieces
of tape firmly seWed to each side so
that 1t can be easily put on and taken
off. Ready-made covers laced together
through eyelets are also convenient. A
sheet OF asbestos placed under the
iron rest and paper or cloth for clean
ing the iron should protect the muslin
cover from scorching. Some boards
have piece OF tin or other sheet
metal about s inches wide tackled
across the end on which the iron Is to

A built-in ironing board, hinged to
the wall and supported with a hinged
prop, is great convenience in home
laundering. The ironing board can then
be folded up in a narrow closet with q
shelf or two provided underneath It
for storing the iron and other Access

the ironing equipment out OF sight

CONSTRUCTION Of Cabinet.
The diagram, which is from the lat
est government publication on home
laundering, Farmers Bulletin 1877,
shows how such cabinet or closet for
the built-in ironing board can be con-
structed. There is often space avail
able between two windows or win
dow and a door, too narrow for an or
binary cupboard or for table Or other
kitchen equipment. Because Of the
light and cross current Of air It would
afford, this is an ideal place for the
built-in ironing board The source Of
heat for the iron should, of course, be
conveniently near. The measurements
given in the diagram suggest 80 inches

the floor, but this distance should be
changed according to the height Of the

TT is unlucky dRave SWARM Of
L bees come to You. This super
stition is general in 3he United States,
Canada and In Earope, and can be
traced back without difficulty to a pc
riod over two hundred years before
the Christian era among the Romans,
while there is evidence that 1t can
claim a like antiquity among the Ger
mans.
Tacitus tells of the CONSERVATION
among the Romans in the consulship
of Manius Acilius when swarm Of
bees settled upon the cupola of the
capitol. 1t was regarded as prodigy
of evil omen. Among both the cult
waited Romans and the Germans when
a swarm of bees settled upon house.
it was thought to be sign that that
house would soon be consumed by fire
or that some disaster would happen to
its inmates. And the Romans evil
IDENTITY considered, also, 1t Is inferred
from Tacitus, that the settling of
swarm Of bees upon public building
like the capitol forboded disaster to
the state.
Just why the Romans and the Ger
mans should consider the settling of
swarm of bees upon house an
omen Of evil Is not so clear. It is
known that they were accustomed to
divine by the fight Of bees as the Ro-
man angurs OWNED by the flight Of
birds, and thSse bee auguries doubt
less became Ia time reduced to rigid
formula in which the settling Of q
swarm upoS house had its fixed
place. At any rate the American
farmer Of today who shakes his head
forbodingiy which strange swarm Of
bees settles under the caves Of his
barn, or on tree Of his orchard, Is
a lineal descendant In superstition Of
the toga-clad Roman, who viewed with
alarm the bees settling on the capitol
