Meat and poultry that requires long
slow cooking Is especially tasty when
baked and served in a casserole. The
oven heat throughout the cooking
period may be fairly low. From 300
to $50 degrees Fahrenheit is good
oven temperature for casserole cook
ing. All the extrattises and juices
of the meat are retained in the gravy
In the dish, and the steam from this
liquid enclosed under the tight lid
helps to make the muscles of the meat
tender. The best results are usually
obtained by adding relatively little
water. At the time Of adding raw
vegetables do not add water. as suf-
ficient moisture will G. ok out of them.
The flavor of any seasoning used
tomatoes, onions, celery, and other
vegetables, as well as condiments
will penetrate the entire dish.
Still another advantage of cooking
in casserole is that extra diShwash-
ing Is eliminated. There is no baking
casserole goes directly to the table.
If vegetables are cooked with the
meat, serving dishes are eliminated.
AS most casserole foods are cut into
individual portions for quicker cook
ing, no carving is done nor are carv-
ing implements needed.
The busy housekeeper appreciates
the casserole because after the food
is once put in it, very little further
attention is necessary. For an hour
and a half or two hours she is free
to attend to other things. She may
precook the meat in the casserole
early in the day, and as she can easily
reheat it at dinner time in the same
dish, she can go out for the entire
day if she wishes. Foods served from
a casserole remain hot at the table
longer than those spread out on a
platter.

3 Do Not Use Enough Milk 5

To increase the demand for dairy
products seems to be one of the most
feasible methods of advancing the
dairy business. 1t is believed by spe-
cialists that, on the average. the
American people do not consume more
than about half the fluid whole milk
necessary to the maintenance of the
highest degree of health. If organ

ON REALTY ROW
Reports and Observations
Concerning Business and
D. C. Agents.
Watch the Tax Dollar!

A warning that taxpayers should
turn the spotlight strongly on the ex-
penditure of mounting taxes to make
sure that public funds are not wasted
is sounded by DR.. J. H. Therrell, Flor
ida banker and member of the exec
utive council of the American Bank
ers' Association.
The history Of our democracy is one
continual record of increased taxes, so
much so that every nine citizens OF
the United States have to support one
person on the public pay roll, he de-
clared at the recent convention of the
Mortgage Bankers Association.
THE last available figures concern
ing the public expenditures in the
United States" he said. amounted to
more than s11,500, 0O0. 900 per year, or
the enormous sum of $38,500,00O fer
each working day. or S4,Sl2,500 for
each working hour, using the eight
hour day as a basis. or more than
$4,000 for each of the working min
utes of the eight-hour day.

wing way to houses of architectural

giving way to houses of architectural
merit.
I'm time, without doubt, the in
fluence of this architectural revival will
extend outward from our metropolitan
areas and make itself felt along our
country roadsides. The ugly shacks,
billboards and other structures devoid
of any artistic conception will disap-
pear and be replaced by more graceful
types.
Habit in Some Countries.
'In some countries, where general
surroundings are artistic, it seems to
have become a natural habit to follow
prevalent good examples.
Perhaps We can look forward to this
in America, and when once a sufficient
amount of good precedence has been
established, the habit of doing good
things will grow.
Architectural design is applicable to
all classes of building, the smallest as
well as the largest Notwithstanding the
general opinion of the past that such
thought is applicable only to expensive
construction.
When we arrive at a proper ap-
probation of the artistic roadside, the
architectural treatment of roadside
structures will logically follow"

revenue of all the class A railroads in
this country would not be SUFFICIENT to
run this business of government for
six weeks. If we used every dollar of
the outstanding currency in the United
States we would have just enough to
run our business of governing this
country for a little more than 90 days.
1t takes one day out of every week from
every man, woman and child gainfully
employed in this country to pay for
the cost Of government.
THE resort to special assessments by
the taxing authorities shows that more
than $500,000,000 was added to the al
ready staggering burden under which
real property is compelled to travel. and
yet it does not show up in the general
property tax column. This tendency
should be closely guarded against and
placed where 1t rightfully belongs, in the
general property tax column.
1T is high time that business and
trade organizations undertook through
competent surveys to ascertain the facts
and cut out the sore spots and put this
biggest of big business on the same
plane of cost accounting and business
management that obtains IN private
business
