make the breakfasts slightly more
hearty in character than in the past
months For example. one Monday
breakfast calls for hOminY spoon
bread and liver and bacon. This spoon
bread is a good way of varying the
plain cereal. which sometimes is not
popular. In this way one gets com
hination of cereal and hot bread which
is very appetiZing on cold mornings.
Those who have followed these meal
plans will notice that | frequently use
raisin bread for making the breakfast
toast. There is reason for this in
that such a combination is an excel
lent way of introducing dried fruit
into the diet. This plan also has
another advantage. The toast result
ing from the use or raisin bread is
extremely havorsome and makes a
good change for those who tire of
plain bread and toast
Vegetable meals are continued.

There has been definite attempt

Bean Soup.

One and onehalf cups navy beans,
one cup chopped celery, three quarts
water, one and one-half tablespoons
flour. one cup chopped carrot. on"
tablespoon vinegar. two tablespoons
dripping, one.half teaspoon pepper.
The beans should be soaked .oVer
night in cold water. Have ready tn"
chopped vegetables which have been
cooked for about 10 minutes in the
dripping. Stir these and the vinegar
into the beans, which have been
drained from the water. Combine
this mixture with the water to be
used in making the soup and let
simmer for about two hours or until
the beans are very tender. Add more
pepper and salt if necessary. Thicken
with the flour which has been rubbed
smooth in a little cold water.
Many persons like to use the water
in which ham bone or piece oi
corned beef has been cooked instead
of plain water. On the other hand
those who do not care for so strong
a flavor may prefer the more delicate
soup which results from using plain
water.

are sometimes beyond the family food

by the weeks plan.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Giring Of Worthless check
in Payment OF Past Debt
Criminal OfcnseP
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Mr.. Snyder owned the Modern De-
partment Store $50 for merchandise
that he had bought and had charged
on an open account. When the bill
was considerably overdue. Snyder
gave a check on his bank to the store
in payment
Pleased that what had appeared to
be a hopeless debt had been paid. the
store deposited the check, only to have
it returned, marked insufficient
funds" When Snyder failed to make
the check good, the store officials had
him arrested and charged him with
violating the following provision In
the bad check act. reading substan
TALLY as follows:
"Any person who with intent to de-
fraud makes or delivers a check on
bank, knowing at the time that the
maker has not sufficient funds for its
payment. is guilty of a criminal of
fense.'
In the State in which the case was
tried. Snyder was found not guilty of
violating the statute by passing the
worthless check. the court stating:
"A check given in payment OF an
open account does not pay the ac-
count until the check is paid and as
nothing of value is obtained in such
a case, or could he obtained. there can
be no such fraudulent intent that the
statute requires. In Kansas and Ohio.
however, a worthless check given in
payment of an existing Indebtedness
is nevertheless a criminal offense."

sugar. Be very careful not to burn.
Let cool, then pound to powder.
Then add to two quarts of cream. If
this does not make it sweet enough.

spoonful of almond extract and freeze
as you would any plain cream. Place
in the bottom of wide glasses some of
the almond cream. On top of this
place two halves of choice canned
peaches prepared as follows: Fill tho

than passing interest was the number
of men who shopped this week. More
than - per cent of the customers
were of the male variety.
Another notable and occasionally
unusual circumstance was the steadi-

Remember that when you read, in
your favorite recipe, directions about
creaming the butter or other shorten

of good cookery. There is another
interesting point to remember, how
ever. Shortening or fat is much
more easily digested when it is soft
ened so that it may be well distrib-
uted throughout mixture.
When you plan to serve plain
salads. such as hearts of lettuce or
romaine, you are sometimes bothered
as to how to make it possible for
every one to have some of the heart.
This problem is solved if you shred
the lettuce or other salad planned
True, it takes away the very attrac-

such person as that spoken of, name
iy, the one who uses a large percentage
OF potatoes in his diet. try potato loaf.

quart of warm cooked potatoes,
tablespoon of minced parsley, with

The materials are mixed and then
pressed into CREASED bread pan.
Such a loaf Is a very appetizing ac-
