SEASON POT-ROAST
With SUGAR AS
WELL AS SALT
Combined Flavors of Sugar
and Salt Blend Deliciously
with Meat

These are days when there are
always bargains on the meat coun-
ter. A lady who bought a chuck
roast for As cents-made a tasteful
discovery by cooking it as follows:
Scar and brown both sides of the
meat in an iron or pot-roast kettle
containing two or three tablespoon
fuls of fat. Then sprinkle top sur
face of the meat with sugar as well
as salt. Add about a cupful of
water, then cover the kettle and
cook for an hour. Turn the meat
and sprinkle newly exposed side
with sugar and salt. Continue cook
ing until the meat is tender, adding
just enough water to keep the meat
from burning. Serve with the gravy
which remains in the kettle, thick
e1ed with -four if you wish. You'll
be surprised at the unusual, full
bodied flavor in the meat as well as
in the gravy.
Cheap cuts of lamb respond to
this seasoning if you prefer that
meat to beef. Vegetables also are
more tasteful when a dash of sugar
to a pinch Of salt is added. Most
foods are more delicious with sugar.

BY BEN STERN

I IEUTENANT- GOVERNOR ED
IL BUSH, who can do more tricks
with gavel than Houdini did with
handouts, came into town last week
to sound out sentiment regarding
his campaign for the Republican
nomination for Governor.
Wearing sunburn which he said
he got planting corn" and mouth
thing several choice phrases in
tended to attract farmer support,
would make no declaration that he
is a candidate.
Instead, he protested that he had
been so busy planting corn" that
he had had no time to discuss or
consider politics.
Taking advantage Of the an
nouncement of the many social
functions for the visiting governors,
Bush declared, casting his eyes
about to see if any farmers were
standing near to hear his state
ment:
Corn planting and society don't
mix"
Then in a slightly louder voice,
calculated to reach those across
the street, he added:
"You cat plant corn in a spike
tailed coat"
Having done his bit to win the
votes of the horny handed sons of
toll Bush stopped for the non
existant applause he expected and
then went on to say that no politics
brought him from Salem.
"Just wanted to talk to a couple
Of friends here, that's all" But he
did say that the real issue of the
1882 campaign in Indiana will be
taxation.
He added that ''the boys must
have some concrete proposals for
tax relief if they expect to get the
farmers votes.
Promises won't go next time.
Performance is what they expect"
Bush also lauded his own efforts
toward attempting to obtain the
passage of the corporate and per-
sonal income tax measures and in
dicated that his friends" were urg-
ing him to become a candidate.
Adherents and supporters of the
Lieutenant-Gov are out at
tempting to set up the fences for
him, and are achieving some sue
cess in north central Indiana.
Along the lake front, however,
his name is anathema to the indus
trialists, who have talked them
selves into believing that his gavel
waving and pounding for a corpo-
rate income tax was sincere.
