Do not serve lettuce and cab
bage at the same meal, nor spin
ach and green beans. Someone
suggests as rule; one vegetable
which grows above ground with
out which grows below; as celery
and corn; radishes and cucumbers
green peas and carrots; green
beans and beets. Color, texture and
flavor play part in your choice
also. For example cabbage and
turnips would not go well togeth-
er, nor carrots and squash.
Use ray vegetables if you can
get them. When cooking vege-
tables, to steam them is best, OF
boil in the least possible amount
OF water. Do not soak cut vege-
tables in water for a long time, as
this soaks out their mineral salts
If you leave the cover off when
cooking strong vegetables, such
as cabbage, cauliflower and tur-
nips, they will be more digestible
and taste better. Green vegetables
will. retain their color better if
cooked with the cover off.
Baking gives vegetables a de-
licious flavor and retains their
mineral salts. Scraping removes
less of the mineral salts than
pairing, as these. valuable food
elements usually lie close to the
skin. For this reason it is best to
bake them with the skins on. 1t is
a pity to fry vegetables as this
makes them more indigestible and
spoils their delicacy and charact,
eristic flavors.
Vegetables may be served raw
in salads, cooked with butter and
onion juice, creamed, escalloped,
in soups an dsandwiches.

Sandwich Filling

Mix together equal amounts of
peanut butter, chopped pimento,
chopped pickle and mayonnaise.
Add salt to taste and spread be-

ious filling is made by adding
chopped nuts to chopped dates and
seasoning with mayonnaise.

BOND PRICES FIRM
IN QUIET MARKET
Buying of Rail Issues Con-
tinues Despite Unfavor-
able Earnings.
by F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-Considering
the number of things 1t had to contend
with, today's bond market put on an
encouraging performance. 1t was true
that the uncertainty prevailing over the
European situation, especially in the
heavy flow of gold from Hhgland to
France and new disturbances in South
America, reduced trading to record low
proportions, but prices, where changed
Inclined to a firmer tone.
Publication of long list of domestic
railroad earnings reports was calculated
to cause liquidation, but this factor
proved to have been sufficiently dis
counted and there was some buying of
railroad issues of secondary type.
German bonds were higher at the
start, rejecting reported ''gentlemen's
agreement" that most Of Germany's
short-term credits will be extended two
years. Evidence that Dutch. Swiss and
Scandinavian banks had participated in
this agreement along with the central
banks of the larger powers was found
in the statement that smaller banks
have also agreed to the extensions -
Other European dollar bonds were firm
er. though Italian descriptions were off
slightly.
The action of sterling against the
dollar and the frame induced a new
flow of gold from the Bank of Eng
land, but at midday it was reported
in Paris that.a 500 100000 credit had
been given TIE Bank of England by the
Bank of France and London advices
were that fears of the necessity of
emergency measures had been definitely
removed. British and Irish bonds were
firmer. There was also an upward
trend in Newfoundland and Australian
bonds.
In South America. according to a
state department communique. order

Drain on Britain Heavy.

PARIS, France. July 81 (SpeciaN :
Sir Robert NJ. Kindersley. one Of the
directors of the Bank of England and
senior partner of LaZard Bros. OF Lon
don, passed the week end in Paris
comforting with Clement Moret. gov
erncr of the Bank of France. and with
other French bankers connected with
Lazard here.
British and French newspapers think
that Sir Robert discussed the recent
gold movements from London to Paris,
which have assumed alarming proper
tons and are greater in volume than
during any previous similar situation.
II is thought that Sir Robert was
assured by NJ. Moret that the Bank
of France would lend a helping hand
and at least take measures to persuade
French holders Of balances in London
not to withdraw them too abruptly
Until some measures are taken to
make peace on the gold front, some
American bankers in Paris feel that it
will be necessary for American banks
in their own interests to continue sup
porting the pound sterling. There are
indications of a deliberate campaign
to destroy the last yeStigas of conf
dence remaining in Europe.
British commitments in Germany
are said 10 be so high-about $780,
600 000-that Great Britain cannot
stand the drain of the German crisis
This causes small French holders of
balances in London to withdraw them
as soon as possible and also certain
interest rates have been raised in
France which would tend to attract
| funds.

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES,

Dictionary definitions of investment
are not very helpful Discussion of the
subject might better begin with the OBJ
Jects of investment rather than with a
statement more or less exact of what
the operation Is.
The motive behind investment is first,
to obtain security for savings, and sec
ond, some return on those savings in
the form of interest, dividends or appre-
citation of principal. 1t may be argued
that the purpose last named is when,
for instance. man purchases unim-
proved real estate on the theory that it
Is undervalued. he is investing, not
withStanding the fact that there can
be no money return on the investment
until the property is sold at an advance
over the price paid.
On the other hand to buy a security
with the idea Of benefiting from a rise
in the market and without caring
whether or not there is any dividend
or interest return on the money is
speculation. This is not to say that
speculation is improper or even unwise,
but simply that it is not investment.
Ordinarily the two detectives already
mentioned, security and return, must
be combined to make investment. For
example. IL one turned all of his money
into gold end placed the gold in a
strong boX ne would probably have Sc
curity, but he would not have an in
veStment. The gold would earn no
wages and would perform no useful
economic function. 1t is only when
savings are entrusted to some institu-
ton which in turn reloans them to pro-
ductive enterprise, or are used to buy
securities which represent productive
enterprise, on the express understand
ing that the institution. corporation or
individual which temporarily has the
use Of these savings pays for the privl-
! lege that We have investment. The
relative amount of emphasis placed on
safety and on return varies with the
necessities Of the individual investor.

NET EARNINGS Up
IN SECOND QUARTER
Reports by 107 Firms Show
40 Fer Cent Rise-StiII
Behind Last Year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 27.-Aggregate net
earnings of industrial corporations
which have thus far reported for the
second quarter of 1881 make dis
tinctly better showing than had been
generally anticipated according to a
survey issued today by Moody's Inves-
tors Service. This preliminary compila-
ton shows profits for l07 companies
which were 400 per cent higher than
in the preceding three months. although
227 per cent less than in the CORE
spending period of 1880.
Composite earnings of 1872 industrialS
for the first six months OF the year
totaled 1904. SOL 900, a decrease OF 28.4
per cent from 1880, the analysis states.
THE quarterly comparison is perhaps
even more significant" MoodyS con-
tinues. When it is realized that the
increase from the first to the second
quarter this year was 40 per cent as
against a gain of only 106 per cent for
the same companies in 1880, 1t would
seem that the 1881 advance was more
than seasonal. This, however, was
probably due not SO much TO an actuai
Improvement in general business as TO
the effort of the more efficient corpora
tons to reduce expenses as mucn as
possible and to go more aggressively
after new business. No positive con-
clusion can as yet be reached on tnlS
point in view of the small NUMBER OF
earnings reports that has appeared.
For the same reason, an attemp'
to break down the industrial profits by
groups would be largely meaningless

the advance of the Paris exchange on
