Unnecessary Shrinkage of Food
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

Over-long cooking causes shrinkage,
and is wasteful.
Prolonged intensity of heat should
be avoided for the same reason. When
heat must be intense, the period OF
cooking is apt to be short, and any
thing beyond this least possible time
for good results Is detrimental. When
heat must be great and time Of cook
ing cannot actually be short, it VIII
after certain results have been at
tanned, and then the longer, slower
cooking follow.
This is notable when roasting beef
which should be scared just as quickly
as possible in order to keep the juices
intact, and then the heat should be
decreased. Waste by shrinkage is
minimized, the flavor is retained and
the tenderness is unimpaired This
same method should be followed when
broiling steak, chops and other meat,
heat penetrate its fiber before it
browns. The temperature can be in
creased somewhat. Be careful not to
dry fish too much under heat. This
ruins the flavor and the texture.
The greatest shrinkage of foods un-
der heat comes In oven-cooking and
broiling. Foods cooked in water
boiled, simmered, steamed or casser-
ole cooked--loose the least through
shrinkage, but the most in flavor.
Tough cuts require some one Of these
methods of cookery in order for them
to become tender without becoming
dry. It is true that casserole cooking
is done in the oven, but as it Is
through simmering and steaming that
the cooking is done, 1t is included in
this category.
The important thing In top-stove
cooking and casserole cooking Is to
have the food tightly covered. The
shrinkage is prevented as much as pos
sible, also the flavor is retained.

Everyday Psychology
Pleasure.
By DIR. JESSE ". sPRowLs.

- ANoS04Os
We all know something about how it
feels to have q pleasurable feeling. At
the same time, very few Of us know
anything about why we have the pleas
urable feeling.
Back in the ancient days pleasure
was pointed out as the chief end and
reason for living. And now today find
q lot Of savants trying to figure out
some scheme for catching this elusive
"bluebird," which goes under the alias
But what Of it? Isn't happiness a
state of mind instead of something in
itself? II so, there isn't any sucn thing
as pleasure or happiness. You may
have to think twice or even oftener to
get the point. Even then you may fail.
But never mind.
Suppose we reason this way: Pain Is
the positive factor or experience in life.
We can figure out the cause of pain in
most cases of painful experience. On
the other hand, pleasure Is not the op-
posite of pain, as has so often been said.
Pleasure is merely the absence of pain.
And therein lies the difference and
much Of the wonder that goes on In
this world about pleasure.
OF course, you have to be some sort
of pessimist to get the point. Plato
became weary trying to figure out the
why Of all the pain in the world and
declared that hope, the longing for
pleasure, was nothing but the dream of
waking" He meant by this that pleas
ure is the absence of pain. And Vol
taire 1t was who pointed out that hap
pinesS Is but dream"
Can all this be true? Are you merely
day-dreaming when you have pleasure?
When you feel happy? If you don't
think so, study carefully your next day.

A very large tree was struck by light
ming and split In halves; the plan of the
trance hall was well located. From it
could be seen many rooms leading into
the hall, and a steep stairway led to
the second floor. To the right, on the
first floor, was a very large room with
a high ceiling and circular walls. IT
was just like a studio or music cham
ber. Who knows but this was the gen.
eral assembly hall?
On the second floor was an arched
doorway leading to the royal chamber.
Adjoining this was the incubator room,
where the tiny eggs are first placed. A
low doorway led from this room into
the nursery, where the babies are ten
derly carried by the trained nurses.
Next to this room was the kindergarten,
with a wide entrance into the next
room, which we knew by its rough CELL
ing was the pantry. The living con-
tainers of the milk and honeydew must
have rough surface to cling to:
Hanging balconies, uncovered bridges

Billy the Burrowing Owl is little
fellow who Is contented with simple
things, and Mrs. Billy is just like him.
They are a little bigger than Spooky
the Screech Owl, but not much bigger,
and their heads are round and smooth.
They haven't the two little tufts of
feathers that make Spooky look like a
small edition of Hooty the Great
Horned Owl. Their coats are brown
with white and buff spots, and their
waistcoats are light buff spotted with
brown. Their legs are, for Owls, long
and slim.
Having decided that the deserted
house in the middle OF Prairie-dog
Town would do for the time being,
they at once set to work to fix it up
to suit their needs.
