The term vegetable plate. mas be-
come 40 familiar that some house
keepers are apt to think of a plate
meal az composed only OF vegetables.
It liz quite possible to modify the idea
so that plate meal may be made
IN containing both meat and veRe-
tables. Such a plan saves consider
able labor and time. One word Of suk-
kestion: Before beginning to plan
meat and vegetable plate remember
that there are a good many individ-
uals whose appetite 10 really seriously
interfered with it they are confronted
with q plate absolutely full of food.
These persons may easily And them
selves eating the same quantity OF
food before the meal In over, but 1t
will taste so much better IL they are
allowed to help themselves. that one
makes a plea for consulting the fam
ily's taste In this matter.
Even when a meat and vegetable
plate IL served ~ the chief dish OF
a meal this thought may be kept
in mind. Portions Of both meat and
vegetables may he arranged so as to
be slightly smaller than those ordi-
narily served. This makes much
more appetizins looking plate and the
eater h apt to pay the cook the com
pllment OF asking for a second
serving.
Now about making up meat and
vegetable plates. The aim should be.
II possible, to introduce an element
of individuality. Merely to place a
slice of meat and potato and a few
vegetables on a large dinner plate
win not accomplish the desired re-
suit. Select the meat and the vege-
tables carefully so that they lend
themselves, first Of all, to a. common
service of making the meal both pala-
table and nutritious. Think next of
the matter of color and do not have

Before the invention of the electric

English stock brokers to get early re-

The carrier pigeon Is useful because
OF his accuracy in returning to his

must be carefully trained over a long
period. Pigeons have been known to
carry a message a. far az 500 miles In

and popular sentiment demanded that
the tree be saved. although the rail-

down. The wrecking train used by

and the big tree was hoisted aboard
