Valuable Minerals Are
Contained in Spinach

Spinach should always be cooked as
little us possible, so that it's vitamines
will not be destroyed. All the liquid
that cooks out of the leaves should
be saved and served, for in it are dis
solved some of the valuable minerals
which the spinach contributes to the
diet. Everyone is familiar with the
story of the little boy who was sure
he could "tastef the iron" in his spin
ach, so it was scarcely necessary to
warn the good cook to wash spinach
thoroughly, through five or six waters,
lifting it each time from the surface
of the pan so that any grit will sink.
Cut off the roots before the first wash
ing because considerable grit is held
at the base of the stems. The bureau
of home economics gives these direc-
lions for cooking spinach:
Wash the spinach through many
waters and when all grit has been re-
moved, drain well and chop the spin
ach very fine. To each pound of spin
ach melt in a saucepan three or four
tablespoonfuls Of butter and when
lightly Drowned add the spinach. Gov
err the pan few minutes until the
spinach has wilted, then remove the
cover, add the salt and cook for eight
or ten minutes, stirring frequently.
For children, serve on crisp toast to
conserve the liquid.

The bird was similar to other giant

Soup Without Meat Stock
Made From Vegetable:

Soup without meat stock can re
made from vegetables and rice water,
with meat flavor supplied by salt pork
Those who cook rice frequently will
often have on hand a sufficient amount
of the water that has been drained
from 1t to make this good soup The
bureau Of home economics describes
the method of making it:
] pint rice water " cup finely
! cup milk chopped celery
carrots, medium tops
size, grated rounded tbs
2 tbs. butter salt pork. diced
onion, chopped very small
fine
Cook the salt pork in skillet I'M
til very crisp and then remove it.
Add the butter to the pork fat and
then the onions, celery tops, and car
rots and cook for s minutes, stirring
to keep them from becoming too
brown. Heat the rice water and milk
in a saucepan and stir in the cooked
vegetables. Season with salt and q
small amount of pepper. Allow the
soup to stand for an hour or more t.
blend. Reheat and, just before serv-
Ing add the crisped pork.

There is superficial resemblance
between some of the smaller modern

BABY DOE" TABOR
LOSES LONG FIGHT
Widow of Former Senator Now
in Poverty.

Leadville, Colo.-An auctioneer's
hammer has sealed the last source of
income from the estate of the late
United States Senator ii. A. w. Tabor,
leaving the widow of the pioneer
western mine magnate in poverty.
Execution Of a foreclosure order
here on the Matchless mine climaXed
the fight of Mrs. Elizabeth Tabor to
recoup a part of the huge fortune her
husband controlled.
Since the slump In silver prices
shortly before the death of Senator
Tabor twenty-five years ago, his widow
has attempted to curb the outward
flow of funds derived from the Tabor
chain of mines. In her final effort she
turned to the Matchless property,
which produced S10,00O,000 worth of
silver before production costs became
prohibitive.
On five previous occasions Mrs. Ia.
Dor succeeded in obtaining funds to
satisfy creditors, but lately was I'M
able to meet the demand for ready
cash. AS the sheriff announced the
mine would be sold to the highest
bidder and turned the sale over to
the auctioneer, only few persons as
sembled. There were two bidders.
Gradually the price climbed from
$4,000 to $4,000 for which amount
the Shorego Mining company obtained
the property.
Coming to Colorado in 1861 Tabor
soon met success In his mining ven
lures. The Tabors we're married dur
ing the administration of President
Garfield, who was guest at the we'd
ding. Tabor Immediately began to
shower attentions on his wife, known
to many people as "Baby Doe" and
considered one of the most beautiful
women in the West. Tabor built a
$1,000,000 theater for her. Two daugh-
tiers were born and one was named
"Silver Dollar"
In the late ninetles a series Of in
vestments proved bad. slump in
silver prices followed and the sen.
ator's health broke, and he died In
1903. The widow and daughter disap-
peared and for several years their
whereabouts were unknown
Finally Mrs. Tabor was found liv-
ing in an old shack on the Matchless
mine. With the aid of an old pros
pector, once befriended by her hus-
band, she was endeavoring to work
the mine.

true Of the Swiss cheese, which offers
a great variety of tempting menus,
rich in nutritive value. Only butter,
oil and very fat meats have greater
calory value than Switzerland cheese.
The long experience in cheese-making
has made the Swiss cheese-makers so
expert in the proper curing of their
product that they can tell by tapping
with q small hammer the age of the
cheese and even the size of the holes.
The latter, called ''eyes," are not a
matter of guesswork, but attest the
richness and flavor.
Here are few suggestions for using
this cheese and saving the long hot
cooking Of no more valuable food for
the family:
AS an appetizer or bit of tasty
lunch for an afternoon with cup of
hot Tor a glass of iced) tea try:
Alpine Canapes.-Cut thin slices of
bread into rounds with cooky cutter.
Cook in a little butter until delicate
brown. Cover each round with very
thin slice Of Swiss cheese, spread light
ly with mustard, then with finely
chopped boiled ham; in the center Of
each place stuffed olive outside up
permost. For added appearance ar
range border of hard-cooked egg
white finely chopped around the edge
Of the canape. Serve these as first
course for luncheon or sumner or as
an accompaniment to a cup of tea
Bacon and Cheese Sandwiches

Broiled Liver Is Most
Excellent for Chance

Liver need not always be fried. One
of the best ways Of cooking any kind
of liver-beef, calf, lamb, or hog liver
according to the bureau of home
economics of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture-is to broil it
under the flame of gas oven. For a
family of SIX buy about pound and
half Of liver cut in slices quarter
of an inch thick. Wipe the slices with
damp cloth. Place them on
creased baking sheet and put it under
the flame of the broiling oven. Cook
from eight to ten minutes, turning
frequently. When done, sprinkle with
salt and pepper, pour over it some
melted butter, and serve at once.
Good vegetables to serve with broiled
liver are: Baked onions, baked to-
matoes, green peppers stuffed with an
onion. tomato and bread crumb mix
ture, spinach, kale, or cabbage.
