USE OF WINTER sQuAsHEs

USE OF WINTER SQUASHES
Those who experience difficulty
in securing enough varieties Of
winter vegetables will do well to
study the use Of the various forms
Of winter squashes which can be
secured in the markets from Oc-
tober to late in the spring.
There are about fifty-five var
ieties Of the squash family, varying
from the small summer squash to
the large hard shelled winter
squashes, such as the pumpkin and
Hubbard squash.
The principal food value found
in these vegetable-fruit gourds is
in the carbohydrate content which
varies from 8 per cent to Is per
cent. They are also rich in aka
line elements Of potash, soda and
lime, and are excellent foods for
those who have, been in the habit
Of using too many Of the acid-form-
ing foods.
The early settlers in America
found the pumpkin growing in the
Indian cornfields, and soon learned
to use this vegetable in variety
Of ways. Pumpkin pic became a
favorite dish, and this was SO
well liked that later on the set
tiers learned to use Hubbard
squash in much the same way in
making pies. In most parts Of
America today either squash or
pumpkin is used in making what
is called pumpkin pie, but in the
New England states they frankly call
either one Of these pies by its prop
er name.
Besides being used for pie the
pumpkin may be cut up and used in
soups, boiled and mashed, baked in
strips or baked whole. An excellent
dish may be made from opening up
one small end Of small pumpkin,
cleaning the seeds out, and filling
It with q mixture Of equal parts Of
ground round steak, minced celery
and Melba toast crumbs. This mix
ture should be slightly moistened
with milk, the pumpkin filled, and
the tor replaced, and the pumpkin
baked in q slow oven for about forty
five minutes.
Hubbard squash has a very hard
covering, and must usually be brok-
en- open with Ratchet. It is best
prepared by baking after it has
been cut into several pieces, and it
may then be served by scraping out
the soft portion and MASKING thor
oughly with the proper amount Of
cream.
The small pumpkin or small Hub
bard squash makes an excellent
medium starchy vegetable which may
be added to q meal containing either
starchy or rotein foods AS these
vegetables are little more starchy

: Fendall G. Winston
(MinneapOlis JOurnan

Another of the Titans who wrought so
nightly in the early building of Minneapolis
and of the Northwest, almost the last survivor
indeed, of that aggressive and achieving gen.
Grafton, has now at last passed on. Born
Virginian, Fendal G. Winston came here in
early manhood to find his life work. With
him came Philip B. Winston and later on a
third brother, w. O. Winston. The great work
of that day was the building of railroads, and
into that work the three plunged with energy
and steadily mounting success.
In the East railroads had been built through
well settled regions and found the traffic wait
ing for them. In the Northwest the process
was reversed-first the road was built and
then the settlers came. James J. Hill Henry
Willard, William d. Washburn, and others
early demonstrated that new roads, pushing
their rail heads out through virgin fields,
would speedily create traffic for themselves by
making development possible. In this labor Of
thrusting new lines out through the North
west, the Winston Brothers soon became q
leading factor.
Fendan Winston's restless energy found
other outlets, too. He was one o. those men Of
vision and public spirit who helped lay the
foundations Of Minneapolis deep and strong.
His sound business judgment, which served his
own fortunes so well, was always ct the dis
poeal Of his fellow citizens. Within the span
|of his career was seen the miracle Of the little
town BY the Falls Of st. Anthony growing into
| > great city Of half million people
Almost to the last days Of his life he kept
active and interested in banking and business.
And now his work d finished, his task is done.

Intrequent Interruptions, through storm or

serves g = reminder Of the way in which this
system Of communication has been wrought
into the very fibre and substance Of modern
life. It is one Of those great conveniences or
blessings, which are taken for granted and
little appreciated. It has become second ma

down the receiver to be brought into instant
touch with anyone to whom it Is desired to

Fear does more harm in the world than all
the fevers.
It suppresses hopes, saps the energies and
destroys the vitality of millions every day.
The fear of future punishment has driven
many to insanity and clouded many lives. The
old-fashicned preaching of hell-fire to ter
rify sinners into pretension Of religious belief
has damned many soul on the spot. The
practice is passing away, but it torments many
poor souls in insane asylums yet Religious
teaching is becoming less debasing threat
and more the uplifting promise of the mercy
of God. It is better religion, and we are a
better people because of it.
The working man with wife and children
dependent upon him lives in the ever-disturb-
ing fear of the notice in his pay envelope that
his services are no longer required. The man
whose earnings barely keep his family from,
week to week lives in lifelong dread that poi
sons his disposition and prevents him from
holding up his head as free man. Labo.
unionism is doing much to make mans occu.
patton secure, but it is still the most depress-
ing dread Of millions.
There is nothing else to be so much feared
as fear itself.
It kills something good and helpful in all
of us.
It is questionable, even among the most truly
orthodox, if anybody ever got to heaven mere
" by fearing hell.
No man ever increased his industrial eff.
cheney by fearing loss Of his job.
There is no good at all in fear.

Bright Hues For Trains

For many years railroad trains throughout
the country have seemed pretty much the
same. They differed only in reputation for
being late or on time and in the names of the
lines painted under the car caves. There was
great Improvement in mechanical equipment,
comfort and safety, but the appearance of Il
train Of cars changed so little as not to be no.
ticeable. Trolley cars were supplanted by
buses and busses changed radically in design,
size and color, but trains retained so much of
the appearance of other days that they would
have caused no shock to rudely awakened
Rip Van Wrinkle.
Now, however, there seems to be imminent a
renaissance in railroad architecture and deco
ration, both interior and exterior. Simple red
plush for day coaches and green for sleeping
cars are going out of style. Cars are being
dressed up in brighter paint and upholstery.
Even the locomotives are returning to their
primitive gaudiness of color after an interven-
Ing half century of somber black.
Transcontinental trains boast club cars,
dance floors, lecture rooms, movie palaces.
There is combination club and cafe car that
is the delight Of patrons of one line. Its color
scheme is gray and green, it has movable
chairs and tables, and it is lighted artstically.
Another change in railroad fashions is in
the names for coaches. Time was when every
car worthy of name was christened for an
Indian princess or way station. Resplen-
dent new parlor cars are being given names Of
national heroes and heroines and other no.
tables.

washington, Feb. 7.-"What's the
matter with Congress The ques-
ton isn't brand-new and Il has met
numerous answers. But, perhaps
through delicacy, one doesn't often
ask congressman that. I put it up
to Congressman George Huddleston

because he was one of the few con.
grcssmen one could think Of who

Dominant Interests
Congressional districts are not
controlled on a per capita basis. The
congressman merely represents the
dominant interests in his district,
those which control the elections
along with nearly everything else.
Sometimes he is controlled by a
mere political boss and his aspira-
ton is to do what the boss wants
him to do. In tina: case he holds the

troll the political boss himself, in

controlled directly either by the

IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. Tone Of the
bats that Manhattan forever
bangles before the noses Of restless
young men Of the small towns is the
old Horatio Alger magnet Of rags
to riches"
Hardly q day passes but some new
record is hung up for a bright and
energetic young man who came out
Of poverty into great success. One
day the newspapers tell Of the bell
hop who became manager Of q chain
Of big hotels; the next it's the bank
messenger who wound up as presi-
dent Of the .concern-as instanced by
the young Mr.. Clarkson who heads
the Chase National bank; the next
it's the story Of the immigrant who
builds skyscrapers -. and 50 it goes.
George White, the musical COM
edy impresario, you will learn,

senger boy; John Golden broke into
the theater by being q grave digger
in Hamlet; the Lefcou-s skyline
in New York came from the dreams
OF N East Side kid who resented the
tenement windows from which his
boy eyes looked out on life; the As
tor mansion on Fifth Avenue went
down under the wrecking machines
Of Benjamin Winter, who came out
Of Poland bitter against the persecu-
ton Of old-world tyrants. And so it
goes.
What, perhaps, the restless young
man Of the small town should pom
der upon is that. about one Of these
miracles happens a day-and there

greater effort than they might make

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Question: H. r. G. asks: "Will
you please tell me why my eyes are
blood-shot? There are times when
one or both are SO, without any APP
parent reason"
Answer: Blood-shot eyes are Of
ten caused by reflexes from some
other part of the body. principally
the alimentavy canal. A disordered
stomach from bad food combinations
is probably the greatest common
cause.
Question: Mrs. r. J. C. writes; II
have heard Of seed that one can
eat to help gain weight. Will you
tell me what it is, and il it really
does do this ?"
Answer: There is q seed called
the "fenugreek" seed which is eaten
by women Of the Orient in the belief
that it will enable them to put on
weight. It is a fruit Of an Old
world herb, Of mucilaginous ma
ture. 1t is seldom used in this coun-
try except as an ingredient in curry
powder, but is used in various ways
in Greece and Egypt, as in bread
making, etc.
Question: L. H. writes: II would
like to know how to overcome sleep
mess right after supper. We have
supper at six o'clock, and sometimes
by eight o'clock / begin to yawn,
and thirty minutes later I am too
sleepy to read any more"
Answer: A sure cure for your
trouble is to eat less and exercise
more. Take some vigorous exercise
just before the evening meal, and
then make that meal very light.
