that nv candidacy for the 1922 Con-

the behest of the people of my home
town who hoped thereby to correct
menacing conditions for which the
Editor himself and his truant Repub

responsible. But he is very careful
not to mention the fact that | was

Tempting Dishes
From Left-O Overs
Among Others That Are
Tasty Are Scrambled
Vegetables.

In the larder~ or refrigerator of
practically every home there will be
found leftover vegetables after din
ner, and frequently after lunch or a
hearty supper. The housewife who
can gauge appetites to avoid this is
remarkable, or she Is so close a ca
terer that some one goes without the
extra serving that would be en-
joyed. What to do with these odds
and ends of vegetables is problem,
too often solved by a salad. 1t Is
well to know Of many other dishes,
some hot, some cold, which can use
the bits. One excellent dish is scram-
bled vegetables.
To each cupful of diced vegetables
of assorted kinds, use one egg. Sea-
son the cooked vegetables. Beat the
eggs enough to have yolks and whites
well mixed. Pour into a buttered
frying pan or omelet pan, and when
the eggs begin to cook, stir in the
diced vegetables. Continue cooking
until the eggs are done. Remove to
a platter and garnish with parsley.
A trim of radish roses and olives
dresses up the dish attractively.
Good vegetables to combine are
string beans, celery and cauliflower.
