Everyday Law Cases
When May Debt Be Discharged IT
Part Payment Is Accepted
as in Full?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

When Samuel Payne received a bill
from DR.. Jones for 5000 for services rem
dered, he objected to the amount. No
rate of fees having been fixed before
hand, Payne felt that he should have
received a more reasonable bill. Ac-
cordingly, he wrote to the doctor, in
closing a check for $400. stating that it
was IN full satisfaction of the bill rem
dered. DR.. Jones cashed the check and
then sent his patient bill for the
original amount, crediting the payment
received.
When Payne received the second bill
from DR.. Jones he again wrote the lat
ter, telling him that if he did not care
to accept the $400 in full payment that
he Immediately return the money. DR..
Jones refused and entered suit against
Payne for the balance he claimed.
At the trial CT the case DR.. Jones
pointed out that Payne did not dispute
the services, but merely objected to the
amount of the bill, which he claimed
was reasonable.
The court, in dismissing the doctor S
suit, explained his decision as follows.
where the exact amount Of debt
is not fixed by agreement a part pay
ment thereof, stated to be made in full
settlement, is binding if accepted by the
creditor. The rule is different when
the amount of the debt has been agreed
upon beforehand. In such a case there
must be a bona fide dispute before a
debtor will be allowed to discharge a
debt by part payment, even If a receipt
in full is given"

There are some kinds of entertaining
that occur only occasionally, but bridge
luncheons go on forever, and we are
always casting more or less frantlcally
about for new suggestions when 1t
comes our turn to entertain "the CLUB
or some special guest.
Next time why not try a Chinese
luncheon? Since the object is, pre-
sumably, to serve a simple meal early
in the afternoon and to start cards
around o'clock, such a plan fits IN
admirably. A Chinese meal may all
be served on one plate; desserts are
always simple. and the food is easy to
prepare. 1t is possible to buy all of
the ingredients for chicken chow meln
ready prepared and almost ready to
serve. The noodles are fried and need
only relocating; the other ingredients
are in a can with full directions for
combining. A bottle of Chinese sauce
is included in the combination. Or If
you prefer chop suey, the ingredients
for that also may be bought the same
way.
A good menu to serve consists OF
chicken chow mein or chop suey; small
almond cakes, preserved kumquats,
pineapple or any fruit. Or a slice OF
canned pineapple topped with a small
mound of gelatin made from the juice
and containing little pieces of preserved
kumquatS or chopped candied ginger.

Some time ago one of our readers
wrote in asking if we could give her a
recipe for an onion cake. At that time
we had never heard of it and in turn
we referred the question back to our
readers asking them for any suggestions
or old recipes they could give us.
Among the best received was one re-
sembling in texture soft cheese cake
and possessing a delicate onion flavor
which will be most agreeable to those
who are fond of onions. This was sent
by Mrs Louise L. Burdick of Billings,
N. Y. Experts advise Its use more as a
vegetable or hot entree, as it does not
seem to fit in any way as dessert,
though it goes by the name of cake.
To make it, use eight medium-sized
white onions, peeling them and slicing
or chopping very fine. Melt three
tablespoon of butter in thick
saucepan, add the onions, cover closely
and cook very slowly until the onions
are tender. A heavy saucepan is
needed to distribute the heat evenly
and the onions must be cooked slowly
to keep them from browning. 1t will
take from 20 to 80 minutes to make
them meltingly tender.

Popcorn Days Winter

Now that the Winter season is upon
US, one of the familiar sights and
sounds in many places with be the pop
corn wagon with its shrill whistle, its
revolving cylinder of poppig corn and
the bags of hot, crispy, fluffy kernels,
salted and sparsely sprinkled with melt
ed butter. Popcorn balls, molasses
popcorn candy and pink sugared pop
corn offer other delights in the pop
corn line. Many people, however, look
upon popcorn merely as contectlon,
not realizing that 1t has real food value.
It is one of the most wholesome of
cereal foods, as it is simply hulled corn
that is cooked without the removal of
any part of the grain. 1t is very easily
digested and can be used in great
many other ways than those mentioned
It makes, for instance, a delicious cold
breakfast cereal; it can be chopped
and added to muffin batter, used to
make delicious cookies and Sprlnkled
into cream soups, especially of the Vege-
table varieties.
Popcorn kernels must be fresh and
of good quality or they will not pop.
If the corn has not been dried sufti-
GENTLY the kernels will crack open in
stead of popping into the familiar white
masses; in the same way, however, If
it is too dry it will not pop. Some peo-
pie get much better results in using
packaged shelled popcorn by sprinklinlg
it very lightly with water before put
ting it over the heat.
Corn may be popped in large fry
ing pan, if it is a heavy one and has
cover that can be held in place. There
are various types of wire popcorn pop
pers and there has recently come on the
market an electric pepper which is very
satisfactory. Use whichever one best
suits your need. Put just enough
shelled corn in it to cover the bottom
of the pan, fasten on the cover and
shake the pan over the heat until the
kernels are all popped. 1t is then
ready to serve with little salt and
melted butter, to cool and set aside to
use for breakfast cereal or to make
into candy.
For chocolate popcorn. which is al
ways popular, pop enough of the corn
to make three quarts. Put it in large

the last one that will attract thief.
Stock cars in stock colors are invari-
ably chosen by automobile thieves. More
conspicuous cars are seldom touched.
Belongings which are necessarily left
where they may be misappropriated or
taken for some one else's should be
properly marked, tagged, or be other
wise identifiable.
Silverware that is initiated, hand
kerchiefs marked similarly, as we'll as
umbrellas, jewelry, books leather goods,
luggage and toilet articles, are all sub
ject to less risk than if they were un-
marked.
One cannot economically insure every
article in ones possession, and in fact
it is not necessary to do so. Identify
ing marks make the return of lost arti-
cles possible and the theft of them i'm
probable.
The cost of replacing articles of all
sorts when misplaced, lost, or stolen,
every year is fairly sizable, and it is
due in many instances to a lack of
identification marks, which none of
our personal or household articles
should be without.

I should like very much to know
how to cook sweet potatoes as they are
sometimes served; that is, clear and
transparent with a sugar Sirup on
them. I have cooked what call can
died sweet potatoes, but they never
seem to turn out right.-Mrs. j. H. c.
The success in cooking sweet pota-
toes in this manner lies perhaps more
in slow baking than in anything else.
Some of it, of course, depends on the
kind of sweet potatoes. of which there
are a large number of varieties. The
yams or the deep orange colored sweet
potatoes generally cook more readily
and are softer than some of the other
varieties I think you will find the
following method will prove successful.
Select medium sized sweet potatoes,
wash thoroughly, cut small slice off
each end and cook without peeling in
boiling, Salted water for 20 minutes, or
until they can be easily pierced with a
fork, Drain, cool and peel. Cut in
half lengthWiSe and place cut side up
in a buttered, shallow baking pan.
Sprinkle thickly with brown sugar and
dot with small pieces of butter, allow
ing one-half cup of sugar and two
tablespoons of butter for four medium
sized sweet potatoes. Bake in a slow
oven for 80 minutes, basting several
times with the sugar and butter mix
ture as it melts in the pan.

RECOGNIZING Your Own.

The scent of her perfume led unmis-
