Homemakers' Column
Edited by Miss Mildred Barton, Home
Demonstration Agent, Oakland.

At this time of year (butchering;
the farm homemaker has the use of
some of the most nutritious meats to
be had-brains, kidneys, heart and
liver. These, like other meats, are
good protein foods as well as excel
lent sources of iron-and are richer
in some of the vitamins than the mus
Gle meats.
These organs spoil easily, and ur-
less frozen, should be eaten as soon
as possible.
The very tender organs-liver, kid,
neys from young animals, and brains
are cooked at a moderate temperature
and no longer than necessary. To
keep the meat tender and to retain the
delicate flavor, be careful not to over
cook it.
Broiling is one of the common meth
DDS for cooking the tender calf or lamb
kidneys and tender liver. The flavor
is best when they are cooked only I'M
til the red color has disappeared. Both
the kidneys and liver make a welcome
addition to the mixed grill meal so
popular at this time of the year.
Tender kidneys and liver also may
be parboiled on top of the stove. Crisp
bacon or Drowned onions make a salts
flying accompaniment. Or, the broiled
or par-boiled liver may be made into
number of other appetizing dishes
when the meat is ground or chopped
fine. Try baking the ground liver in
a loaf or in patties, with bacon and
tomato sauce added as a finishing
touch.
Brains, broken into small pieces, al
so may be panbroiled. After brown
ing the brains, scramble them with
eggs or add them to an egg omelet.
If the brains are to be kept firm, as
for use in a salad or a creamed dish,
simmer them for about Is minutes in
water with little vinegar and salt
added.
The less tender organs-the beef
kidneys and the muscular hearts of all
snimals-require longer preparation.
To make them tender, cook them long
and slowly with some liquid added.
To cook a beef kidney, cover it with
cold water and heat slowly just to the
boiling point. Discard the water and
rinse the pan. Reheat this process
about three times, or until there is no
scum left and any strong odor has dis
appeared. Then add fresh water and
simmer until tender
The cooked kidney can be chopped
up and used in making stew or the ira
ditional English teak-and-kidney pie.
Use butter, or other fat, with flour in
thickening the kidney stock to make a
rich gravy.
Hearts must also be cooked at low
temperature for long time to make
the connective tissue tender. A favo-
rite method is to stuff the heart with

Americana
The Only Cornet

1he Only Cornet
MO, It's not musical instrument.
l It's commissioned army officer
and there's only one in the world to-
day Whenever the chief of the mi
litia bureau of the United States army
makes report to the War depart
ment, tabulating the number of gen.
erals, colonels, majors, captains and
lieutenants, he writes down "Cornet:
l."
That one stands for Frederick Col
Ions Wheeler, cornet in the headquar-
ters troop of the Fifty-second Cavalry
brigade, Pennsylvania National Guard,
otherwise First troop. Philadelphia City
cavalry.
The Philadelphia City cavalry was
organized back In 1774 and naturally
modelled its organization after British
army custom. At that time the British
army had the rank of cornet, which was
equivalent to third lieutenant. When
congress passed the National Defense
act in 1892, establishing a militia in the
different states, 1t allowed the various
military organizations in existence at
that time to keep their accustomed
privileges.
SO the First troop retained the rank
of cornet while the British did away
with it many years ago. Thus 1t is the
only military organization in the world
which has a cornet. The troop Is also
unique In this respect: Ii has a guidon,
presented to 1t at the outbreak of the
Revolution in 1775 with a union of 13
alternate blue and white stripes In the
uper left-hand corner, corresponding
to the blue field In the present Ameri-
can flag. This is believed to be the
first flag on which the 13 colonies were
represented by 13 stripes.
On the guidon also appears silver
bands denoting the troops service In
war as follows: Revolution-Trenton
Princeton, Brandywine. Germantown !;
Civil war: Gettysburg; Spanish-Amer-
lcan-Porto Rico; World war-Cham-
pagne, 0ise-Aisne, Lorraine, Meuse-
Argonne, Ypres-Lys.

Cinderella's Glass Slipper
q Western Newspaper Union

CINDERELLA lost one of her tiny
~ glass slippers at costume ball
and so found her Prince Charming.
Her story is one of the most de-
lightful fairy tales in the world S
literature, and it seems a shame to
spoil it. But Cinderella did not go
to the ball wearing glass slippers.
The whole thing came about
through a mistake in translation.
Cinderella's story was originally
translated into English from the
French. In the French version,
Cinderella went to the bali wearing
pantoufles de vair. The word vair
means gray or white fur, like err
mine or miniver. But the transla-
tor mistook it for verre, meaning
glass. It isn't nearly so romantic
the other way, but when you come
to think about it, can you imagine
anyone being able to dance in glass
slippers?
Many other mistakes have crept
into our literature in the same man.
ner. One of our most charming
Christmas carols contains the Bib
lical quotation, peace on earth,
good will to men," The line con-
tains a sentiment very appropriate
to the Christmas spirit.
Yet Biblical scholars say it IS a
mistranslation from the Greek, and
that in the original version it read,
peace on earth to men of good
will" At first sight, this does not
appear to be nearly as .haritable
statement as the one we are
accustomed to hearing. But when
one studies it for a little while, it
really does seem to make more
sense.
