America brought their cabbages
with them across the sea, and
we are still eating the descend
ants Of those transplanted
products of the kitchen gardens
Of England and Europe.
Cabbage is one Of the best OF
the leafy vegetables. 1t supplies
minerals and vitamins which we
must have and the leafy rough

ton.
The old-time methods of cook
ing cabbage, however, did much
to destroy the valuable compo-
nents Of the vegetable. Old cook
books almost invariably instruct
the cook to "steam cabbage 1Ha
hours" "bake for 2 hours" etc.
That largely explains why so
many people do not like cab
bage, why the odor has become
such q definite problem, and
why it has not seemed to have
particularly health-giving ef-
fects on young children.
Improves Flavor
If you cook cabbage five, ten
or is minutes only, delicate fla
vor, delicate texture, and no
odor will result. More import

There are so many delicious
ways to prepare cabbage that
are comparatively little known,
or used, in this country. Abroad
there are any number Of recipes
employing the Succulent vege-
table in a tasty and different
manner.
For instance, the Russian dish
called Tsche is q beef stew with

L0nesOmeSt Girl
Dear Miss Fairfax:
At 18, my parents persuaded
me to marry q man. II years
older than myself. didn't want
to marry him, but they thought
he was very well-to-do and that
was the big thing in their esti'
nation.
I was divorced from this man
Mt the end of g. year, and he is
now in an insane asylum. He
had been queer" for a long
time and much of the money my
parents thought so well of had
gone to pay doctors, nurses, ana
long periods in sanitariums.
He was practically penniless
when I married him, but mother
and father didn't know that.
Naturally, they had to take
me back into their home, and
my position there is a very un'
happy one. After forcing me to
marry this first man, they now
object to my having either men
or women friends.
7 am very lonesome and
morbid and have cried so much
that I have lost whatever looks
I had in the beginning. What
would you suggest in a case
like mine? LONESOME.
You do not tell me whether
YOU have been trained for any
business or profession, and II
you haven't been, please take
steps to get that training i'm
nediately. What would you
like to do? For what type OF
work have you a flare?
The best medicine in q case
like yours is to forget your
troubles in some absorbing in
terest, some work which will
leave you little time for NOR
hid and unhappy thoughts.
I don't see how your parents
can object to your taking the
necessary training to become
self disappearing, or why they
should be unfavorable to your
having friends.
I hope you will write to me
again, and write more fully.

that that's settled, let me tell
you how to go about getting it
to be thoroughly satisfied with

The first step is to choose q

definite help in making your
choice, I can give you the name
Of an excellent waving process
which is the coolest to use in
hot weather. For years the
makers of this machine have ex-
perimented in waving hair; in
fact, they were the originators
of the permanent wave.
Do not by any means go In
for a bargain wave! You will
discover that, like other bar
gains, there is a good reason
for the low price. Either the

Apparently Donnie is making good

his work at Elitch Gardens.

punch we have ever seen. Having hit
his opponent trif1e too hard a minute

row-all Woods has to do now is to
stand quietly at ease, while the direc-

New weapons for the Governments

were approved yesterday by the House
with passage of two bills to regulate
the bottle manufacturing industry
and check-up on materials sold for
the making Of spirits.
These measures, urgently requested
by Secretary Morgenthau to stop
bootlegging and Illicit distilling, were
sent to the Senate by overwhelming
votes.
The House was told by Chairman
Doughton of the Ways and Means
Committee that illicit distillers and
bootleggers were depriving the Treas

fake labels and illegal use Of bottles
manufactured for legitimate concerns.

of 81 1000 fne and two years i'm
prisonment or both would be imposed
for violations. In addition, the Sec
retary could require bottle manufac-
turers, numbering only about 40, to
submit reports on all sales.
In the second measure, persons
dealing with materials going into the
manufacture of distilled spirits could
be required by the Secretary to file
reports with the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue on sales.
Proposes Federal Tax Study.
Still another move to tighten up
liquor and other revenue laws with
a view to a further revision at the
next Congress was approved by the
House. 1t adopted a resolution by
Doughton directing the Ways and
Means Committee to make thorough
study of the Federal tax structure
during the coming recess.
Members of the committee ex-
planned the study would be directed
toward the recently increased liquor
tax and the import duties with a
view Of determining whether addi-
tional revenue could be obtained by
a lowering of both, an act which also
might. result in wiping out the boot
logger.

would authorize the Secretary to
