"Mad Dog" Peril Is Becoming Neglible

Carefully compiled statistics show
that in the whole United States, with
over 100000 population, the num-
Der of deaths from rabies has aver

the legislature that commercially the
research into this phase of bacteri-
ology could not be maintained, be-
cause cases were few, and that the
state could afford to do something for

yeast with small portion of the juice
and add it to the mash. Cover the
jar with a double layer of cheese

The juice is then separated from

HOW TO PREPARE

again she ordered chicken salad"
runs the somewhat threadbare Joke
told about the girl who never knew
what to ask for when she was enter
tanned In a restaurant. She needn't,
however, have been embarrassed at
her selection, for good chicken salad
is one of the most delicious dishes
ever put together by an accomplished
chef, and choosing it merely indicated
discriminating taste. Many peo-
pie, however, order chicken salad
when away from home because they
seldom have it on their own tables. 1t
seems like an elaborate and difficult
combination, and perhaps because it
Is frequently served at wedding and
other receptions, seems like too ex-
pensive a dish to set before the fam
lily. AS matter of fact, chicken
salad might be enjoyed much more
often in our own homes if the home
maker, fortified by a good recipe, real
lied also that about one-half of the
bulk of the salad is made up of cell
cry.
The United States Department of
Agriculture gives the recipe below:

Simmer the chicken until tender in
small quantity of water. When
about half done, add a teaspoonful Of
salt. Let it cool in the broth. After
the chicken is cold, remove the skin,
strip the meat from the bones, and
cut it into small pieces of even size.
In the meantime allow a few slices of
onion to soak in cupful Of mild vim
egar to give it slight onion flavor.
Remove a cupful of chicken fat from
the cold broth and mix with this vim
egar. Pour this mixture over the
chicken, adding more salt and vinegar
if needed to season it well. Let this
stand, or marinate, for several hours
or over night. Cut the celery stalks
and some of the tender leaves in small
pieces and let it stand in a cold
place until it is crisp. Mix enough
thick, well-seasoned mayonnaise
dressing with the chicken to coat the
pieces well. Shortly before the salad
is to be served, add the celery and
more mayonnaise if needed. Add still
more salt if needed.

Many fruit juices are well suited to
vinegar making as they contain sugar
in the proper proportion and other
necessary or desirable substances, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. Vinegar is the result of two
distinct fermentation processes-an
alcoholic fermentation followed by an
acetic fermentation.
Apples are most commonly used ip
the United States, but vinegar OF I'M
excelled quality can be made from
grapes, and very acceptable vinegar
is made from oranges, peaches, per-
simmons, pears, berries and watermel-
ons. Vinegar made from red raspber-
ries will retain indefinitely the odor
and flavor Of the fruit, which makes
it desirable for flavoring foods and
beverages.
Much Fruit Wasted.

of fruit not desired for immediate use
for canning may often be turned into
a useful product at merely nominal
cost. The best receptacles for, max
ing vinegar in the home are stone jars
of three to six-gallon capacity. These
should have straight sides and open
tops and should be provided with COW
ers. With most fruits used it is i'm
possible to separate the juice from
the pulp before the alcoholic fermen-
tation has taken place, so yeast in
oculation is made in mash of the
fruit. The juice only may be used If
1t can be extracted easily. The fol-
lowing method, which calls for
peaches, may be used, with slight
variations, for any fruits:
Ripe fruit is selected. Overripe
fruit may be used if decayed portions
are removed. Enough peaches are

Yew is one of the most character.

1t attains great age and yields an ex-

favorite wood for the old English

renders it suitable for cabinet work,
axletrees and the like where strength
and durability are required.
