Popular Veal
Dish

The practice of cooking veal in
sour cream, it is said, originated IN
Germany, as did sauerkraut and
many of our other sour and spicy
dishes.
Here is a recipe for that favorite
veal dish, wiener schnitzel, which
depends on sour cream, tomatoes
and paprika for its seasoning:
Wiener Schnitzel
2 pounds veal steaks
4 slices bacon, cut fine
2 tablespoons chopped onion
/ cup sour cream
1a cup tomato ketchup
l teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper
Cut the veal steaks into indi-
vidual servings. Fry the finely
diced bacon. Dredge the slices of
veal in flour and brown, together
with finely chopped onion, in the
bacon fat. Season with paprika,
salt and pepper. Stir in the sour
cream and ketchup, cover, and let
cook slowly until the veal is done,
about thirty minutes.

Food Is Still
Stored

To our grandmothers the com
ing of fall meant storing pota-
toes, apples, onions and squash
in huge bins in the cellar against
the ravages of winter.
Today, city dwellers cannot
store such quantities, but you
probably will be able to store some
things quite successfully.
One hardly need mention the
fact that only products of good
quality can be stored successfully
for any length of time. If you find
any which are imperfect, separate
them and use them first. Also, all
products should be clean and dry
before being stored.
Potatoes and apples require
similar conditions "a tempera-
ture of from SO to 40 degrees, al
though apples will stand little
lower temperature. They should
be stored in Slated crates or bins,
or in shelves to insure ventilation.
To provide sufficient humidity,
the floor of the storage room
should be Sprinkled frequently.
Onions should be matured and
well dried before being stored.
To dry, you may either hang
them in punches, or place on dry
rack in single layers, turning a
few times. In order that they re.
ceive plenty of circulation as well
as low humidity, do not pile them
more than five or six layers deep,
and use Slated crates, bins or
shelves.
If all the tomatoes have not
ripened before the first frost, the
larger or partly ripened fruits may
be picked, wrapped in paper and
stored in single layers on shelves
in the storage cellar.
AS squash, pumpkins and sweet
potatoes require a temperature of
between 40 and so degrees Fahren-
heit the attic or furnace room is
a good place to store them.
The rooty vegetables - carrots,
beets, parsnips and turnipS can be
stored in outside pits if you like.

SAUNDERS face was sober.
- you're just telling me what you've
been thinking for years." he accused.
Its not true. Ned. You're still q
good man for that Job. Thompson
has learned a lot from you. But I
don't want to keep you in spot where
you're unhappy. What do you want
to do? Retire?"
"This paper is my wife and family
and If I cut my finger you'd see print
er's ink" Ned declaimed. "The only
way I'll retire. If can help it, is in
a pine box. Just give me a hole on
the rim of the copy desk where can
scribble heads and I'll be satisfied.
I'm too old to mind any talk" he
added.
IF that's what you want it's yours
for life. And there won't be any
talk" the publisher snorted.
Henry Saunders died in 1925. One
of his last instructions to his grown
son concerned the dried-up little man
who had turned out the Saunders
Printing Co.'S first hand-set jobs in
another century.
Young Henry scowled down the
complaints Of his copy-desk head
for years. But one day the city edi-
tor made suggestion.
"I know how you feel about Mr..
Randall" he said. "but he slows up
production something awful. Elkins
has to give him decent stories to
handle and half the time they never
make the paper. Now, lot Of stuff
comes into the Office after the regu-
lar staff leaves at nieht-stories on
night meetings, syndicated stuff and
theater-page material that ought to
be edited better. Why not create the
post Of night editor and put Mr.. Ran
dali in It? 1t would relieve us of a
lot of morning routine and he could
take his time about his work"
So, at the age OF so. Ned Randall
was promoted. He knew the job had
been tailored to fit, but he also realized
that he was far too slow for the day
copy desk. The absence Of pressure
in his new work was a great relief
and he liked the hours. They gave
him time for daylight strols around
a city of which he had seen little.
But there were no reporters in the
Office that midnight when City News
put the bulletin on its ticker.
'Three-alarm fire at Cayalcade
Hotel" said the flash.
MED glanced once around the
empty room, then grabbed his
hat and stumbled toward the ele-
vators.
Hurry" he ordered the taxi driver.
He slipped his press pass out Of his
billfold. stuck it behind his hatband
and was out Of the cab before it
stopped. He stopped under the fire
line and hurried toward the entrance
Of the skyscraper hotel. Flames were

ana NlSlOklhlys
He returned from . trip to New York
in the Spring Of 1900 nourbhing q
dream. Before the last maple leaves
had fallen he published the first issue
of the Advance. Ned, who had won
many q spelldown In grammar school
and whose best grades had decorated
his English papers. was managing
editor. The title covered a multitude
Of duties.
Job printing was still the principal
source Of income, but Henry found
time each Monday and Tuesday to
make the rounds of the town gossips
and merchants and garnered enough
information and advertising to fill
the four page folder. Ned corrected
his errors, wrote catchy headlines and
made up the paper. That was before
the automobile plant was opened.
As Henry toiled over his story about
the new industry which was to rear
its brick walls on the fringes Of the
community he slipped from the field
of fact into the realm Of prophecy.
He foresaw changed world in which
horses would give way to chugging
buggies moving under their own
power. He suggested that a city might
some day surround the little factory,
grown vast through the years.
THERE were many laughs over
young Saunders foolishness." I"
but the words in print convinced the
man who had written them in flight
Of rhetoric. He invested a part Of his
savings in the new enterprise, and
week after smoke began to billow from
the new brick chimneys he startled
the town with an announcement that
thereafter the Advance would be pub
nshed daily except Sunday"
Henry decided to develop his own
reporters. He hired bright town boys
and coached them from personal ex-
perience. But he realized that he and
Ned were beyond their depth, so he
brought in q city newspaper man to
set the faster pace. Ned kept the
title Of managing editor, but the reins
slipped from his hands.
The town doomed with the auto
mobile factory and the Advance grew
with the town. 1t swallowed the first
few upstairs that attempted to break
into the afternoon field, and by the
time powerful opposition appeared the
Advance was so firmly entrenched
that it could welcome the new sheet
in Q page-one editorial.
MED, . shriveled little man now
= with horn-rimmed glasses and
gray, thinning hair, shufied into his
old friends oak-paneled o1ice one
Monday morning.
It think I'd better resign as man

Better offer, eh," Saunders asked
cheerily. "Well, I'll see 'em and raise
'em twenty-five How's that?"
Ned grinned feebly.
mo offer, Henry" he responded.
"Im getting lot more than I'm worth
now. No. you know I'd never leave
this place If I could help it. But you
know as well as do that an old work
horse like me is just a drag on these
young sport models we have around
