cooked. and one OF the revived labor.
savers which ID growing In vogue
Is paper cookery. GEARS ago il was
known as ~paper-hag cookery. but the
new type consists merely Of paper
sheets. which can be folded and tied
up TO fit contents)
There's much TO be- said In favor
or this method OF preparing cooked
foods. For thing. II makes pos
sible the cooking OF two or three or
even more foods in n large sauce
pan. Whatever meats or vegetables
are 10 be prepared are tied w In
separate paper parcels. then placed
together In one large pot Each
cooks by itself. and there is no CON-
municatIon OF odor or flavor as the
packages are tightly tied. Moreover,
the pot itself remains untouched
by the food cooked in It.
So much for the saving OF labor.
In addition. this new method has the
advantage OF preserving flavor and
juices to full. So much evaporates
in ordinary cooking.
The method OF uss Is easy, too
The paper sheet Is slightly moist,
ened. then the food spread on II. and
sprinkled with whatever seasoning OF
shortening II requires. The four cor
ners OF the sheet are then tied to
gether firmly. leaving some DON FOR
expansion. but no space for escape OF
steam Then the paper cooker Is
placed In any saucepan containing q
small amount OF boiling water. This
water does not soak through and
dissolve the juices OF the food. as the
cookery paper Is especially proceSsec
to resist It.

received BY the chamber Of COM

Under the present plan In the

say. Then the shipper sends his
harvesting crews to the fields to
pull and tie the vegetables and
haul them to the platforms to be
washed. punched and packed. This
is an expensive plan and tends to
cause waste for the reason that nc
matter how carefully we coach and
supervise harvesting crews, they
are prone to pull everything In the
rows with the result that when the
deliveries are made 10 the platforms
we must Gull out "a lot of vegetables.
