BY SISTER MARY
NEA Service Writer

WHILE any Kind of meat can he
/ w made into sausage" in this
/ country the word usually means a
pork product II some other va
rietv of meat or a combination is
used. a characteristic word is used
10 define il
During the fall and winter
months sausages are popular for
breakfas'. luncheon or dinner.
They are also useful TO give flavor
to many interesting dishes and
make a most attractive and appe-
tizing garnish for roast chicken
and turkey.
Link sausage. country sausage
and bulk sausage are all made
from finely chopped pork. Both
:at and lean meat are used. but
never more than one-third as much
,at as lean should be added. Pow
dered sage is sometimes added
with the seasonings and the sau-
cage is often smoked.
Sausage may be baked in a hot
oven instead of cooked on top of
the stove. but no matter how it is
rocked il must be well done.
In order TO insure thorough
cooking without drying out and
overlooking. it's good idea to
parboil thick sausage first. Add
water to half cover and let ii cook
away. Be sure TO prick the skin
in several places to prevent burst
ing. Allow from IS minutes to
one hour for sausage one and one
half inches in diameter to cook.
Combination dishes made with
sausage are savory and delicious.
Potatoes stuffed with parboiled
sausage. scalloped sweet potatoes
and bulk sausage. macaroni and
rice and sausage. sausage
in casing of baking powder bis
cult dough. apples and sausage in
ways-these are a few of
the many ways sausage can be
nsed to add variety TO menus.
Meals : must be thoroughly
planned when sausage is to be the
meat. Vegetables for bulk as we'll
as mineral salts and vitamin con-
tent are necessary. a simple SAL
ad and light dessert are suitable.

have seen spectacle of this sort four or five times
within the last three weeks. However, such sight
does establish the failure but the need Of prohibi
ton 1t could not fail to bring to mind the sights
which prevailed an almost unlimited degree in dis
ricts of this character in great cities and in many
try towns in preprohibton days. 1t reminds one of
the way in which the saloon dominated the situation
and degraded the community.
On Saturday afternoon and evening the country
people crowded into the nearby towns and villages,
very much they do now but in the old days during
the afternoon and evening the men thronged the
looms. The saloon doors swung inward much more
often than they did outward In town, enjoying a
tain relief from the monotony of their daily work and
with the idea of having good time they crowded into
the saloons. Liquor flowed freely with its usual dis
astrous effects. Before evening many the high
road to INVESTIGATION and before the evening
many were hopelessy intoxicated.
think any fair-1ninded person who knew the old
conditions would agree that it is very moderate esti
mate to say that the average saloon from until
midnight the average Saturday in the average town
produced at least ten drunken Now multiply the
number of saloons anywhere by this number and you
have result that is appalling.
If there thirtyfve saloons in Kankakee, there
would have been three hundred and fifty thoroughly
intoxicated men any average Saturday evening" If
there were one hundred saloons in Peoria in the old
days, there would have been thousand drunken
men the average Saturday evening. If there were
ten saloons in Dwight the result would have been at
least one hundred drunken in that village every
Saturday night.
In Chicago there were 7,152 saloons when prohibi-
ton Applying this number you would have IL,
$40 drunken men in Chicago on the average Saturday
night. 1t would puzzle the Kelley Cure men, any
body else to find one hundred drunken in Dwight
now on any Saturday, half that number quarter
OF even one-tenth that number Likewise, it would
puzzle the entire crowd to find 900 thoroughly
intoxicated men in Chicago any Saturday evening.
They are not there.
