Then he drains off the soda and
water, rinses the pot and ref1lls it
with freshly boiling water from the
other pot. He adds a level table
spoon of salt to the water, drops
in the vegetable and lets it cook
until just tender, but not mushy.
Then he drains it and serves it in
a variety of ways or with different
sauces.
Probably the most satisfactory
method of cooking these loud"
vegetables is in a pressure cooker.
These are not too expensive for
the average houseold and are be-
coming. more and more popular
with both novice and veteran
cooks. There are excellent books on
pressure cookery. If you'd like the
name of one I consider tops, drop
me a line in care of The Evening
Star, inclosing a stamped self
addressed envelope or a stamped
postcard with your request, and I'll
send it to you.
Also. if any of you have had
outstanding luck with some trick
for controlling Kitchen aroma
I'd like to hear about it. We might
do a guest column" of your sug-
gestions for the benefit of other
cooks with the same problem.

IDENTIFYING PICTURE.

From Mrs. J. X. X, Siluer Spring.
Mrs. r. w. McC. requested the
artists name who painted a picture
of an Oriental bowl. From her de-
scription, Mrs. McC. must have IN
mind the painting called "Gladioli,"
by Cecil Golding contemporary
American). 1t has a neutral back
ground with family geometric de-
sign, a small bowl and Chinese
figurine to the left of the vase OF
flowers. If she will examine the
flowers closely, she will be able to
identify the spears Of gladioli. How
ever, there is painting called The
Chinese Bowl" by Dimitry Alex
androf, low bowl of flowers against
an exquisite Chinese screen, in green,
soft grays and orange, but no fig
urine. This painting would make an
excellent companion for the above
and may be obtained from the Old
Print Exchange, IA East Forty
eighth street, New York City. do
hope this is the information Mrs.
McC. is seeking.

Old Man Winter is still making
himself felt In the food market. This
continued cold spell has resulted
In boosting prices Of many Of our
standbys; onions, for example, are
sky-hight. and the only explana-
ton seems to be the weather.
Kale is coming in from Norfolk
again, in spite Of the snow, but it
is almost double in price. There's
some packaged spinach around, but
it, too, is high this week. As a
matter of fact, I thought the prices
were generally a little higher on
most of the vegetables in the market
this morning. Turnips and cabbage
are the best values, the quality is
good and they're plentiful. If you
want a prime head Of cabbage, look
for one that is reasonably solid,
hard, or firm and heavy, or fairly
heavy for its size.
Broccoli and cauliflower are both
good quality; you'll find scarcity

HERE AND THERE: After 81
years a bar of chocolate was found
hidden on forgotten pantry shelf
where a New England grandmother
once kept her reserve store Of
goodies" 1t was sent to testing
control laboratories, and despite ex-
IRENE heat and dryness, moisture
and even cold, during winter periods
when the house was shut, was re-
turned with verdict, flavor good,
considering age Of sample" Even its
color and texture had deteriorated
to only minor degree, and no ex-
ceSsive fat bloom was found on the
outside of the cake, scientists say.
This accidental chance to test the
chocolate proved gratifying tribute
to a time-tested chocolate formula,
basically unchanged then and now
since. it was first introduced to
Americas consuming public in 1883.
Every woman knows 1t Is i'm.
pOrtant to include tomatoes in the
diet of her family because of their
high mineral and vitamin content.
But do you all know the convenience
and value of using tomato paste,
that smooth, thick salty Italian
speciality that makes soups, salads,
meats, macaroni, vegetables and
many other everyday American
dishes so much better? Here's
breakfast quickie that's winner.
Beat strawberry preserves smooth
with a fork. Spread on buttered
pancake Roll and spear with a
toothpick. Dust with confectioner's
sugar. Serve at once. Cola Is
a nut that grows on trees in Africa
and the West Indies. African ma
tives call the cola tree, "The Tree
of Life" To make the most
of the food dollar read labels Of
packaged foods carefully and follow
instructions for use. . Don't for
get how good a curry you can make
with little bit of chicken. Serve
the rich curried chicken with fluffy
rice and crescents of ripe avo-
cado and pineapple to further carry
out the tropical flavor note.
For a Valentines Day touch to your
favorite macaroni and cheese recipe,
cut pimiento into thin strips and
shape into hearts. Garnish the top
of the casserole with the hearts be-
fore baking. The pimiento proves
delightful flavor contrast as well
as decoration.

POEM FURNISHED.

From Miss G. B. M, Washington,
Here is the poem requested BY
Mrs. C. R. B. 1t is one Of my
avorites.
AS torrents in summer,
Half-dried in their channels,
Suddenly rise, though the
Sky is still cloudless,
For rain has been falling
Far off at their fountains;
So hearts that are fainting
Grow full to O'erf1owing.
And they that behold it,
Marvel, and know not
That God at their fountains
Far off has been raining!
Stronger than steel
Is the sword of the Spirit:
Swifter than arrows
The light of the truth Is:
Greater than anger
Is love, and subdueth.
The dawn is not distant.
Nor is the night starless,
Love is eternal
God is still God, and
His faith shall not fail us:
Christ is eternal!

CHOCOLATE BOILED ICING?
HINT FOR CHILD'S SHOES.

From Mrs. D. M, Wdshington.)
I wish to add a few words about
wasting the precious space in this
column. Why. not try your best to
answer your own questions AND
not, as it seems frequently to me
wonder about something vaguely
and write to RICH for the answer?
Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, the
dictionary and the food hints Sec
ton of your cook book can answer
great many questions. Other ques-
tons such as care of furs, identifi-
cation of paintings, ETC., can be an
swered at very little cost, If any
by experts in those fields. I confess
that it annoys ME to see requests
for names of poems which are very
easily identified with q little, re-
search.
Now request: Can any one give
me a never-fail recipe for cnoco-
late boiled icing? make excellent
plain icing in a double boiler anc
have tried three different recipes
for chocolate boiled or seven-minute
icing with no luck. It doesn't seem
to get sticky and thick.
Here's a hint: Use heavy paStt
wax on your children's winter shoes
1t does not change the color, rub
up to a good shine and repels dust

ANSWERS AND QUERIES.

ANSWERS AND QUERIES.
From Mrs. B. B. L., Washington.)
To the lady that desired to know
where she could get yarn with the
dyed in design forming an argyle
pattern: This yarn is called "col-
orplus," and may be purchased from
a local department store. I pur-
chased some for a child's sweater
when it first came on the market;
however, I have been greatly dis
appointed in it. Ones gauge has to
be perfect to secure the right de-
sign. much prefer to knit in my
design with different colored yarns
on the bobbins.
To the lady desiring to know
where she could secure a French
nursery rhyme book: Have you
tried the second hand stores in
Washington and New York? These
are listed in the yellow classified
section. There is . French book
shop at $40 Fifth avenue, New York
City, which may carry exactly what
she desires. In the event that she
does not find it, If she will address
a. note to me- care of RICH, will
gladly give her the names and ad-
dresses of several very good second
hand book stores in New York.
To the lady desiring recipes for

trio shaver for my husband; how
ever, his skin is rather sensitive,
but on the other hand he often has
to shave twice day. Which of the
electric shavers on the market Is

Delegation Seeks
Cooperation On
Safety Campaign

A delegation from the Richlan6

wick Chamber of Commerce to
take part in the traffic safety cam.

A city-wide effort, organized

fic violations in Richland, which
has zoomed from a 1916 total of
452 to almost $500 in the first six
months of 1913.
Educational movies, posters and
Boy Scouts are giving emphasis
to the campaign. Residents are
enlisted in an amateur picture TAX
ing contest in which prizes are
awarded for candid shots of Rich
land people jay walking on the
business streets, Micky Mcclure,
chairman of the traffic safety COM
mlttee said.
Since many Richland workers
are actually residents Of Kenne-
wick and Pasco, the assistance of
the neighboring cities Is requested,
said Mcclure.
Don Solberg, president Of the
Kennewick chamber, assured the
delegation that the Kennewick
group will cooperate with them
to the fullest extent.
Accompanying Mcclure were
Doug Roehr, publicity chairman.

lations staff; Cleo Peneringer, of

state wide organization which has
a membership to date of more
than 100 grocers. It's central of
fees are at GIG Lloyd Building,
Seattle.
"The prohibitionists, promoters
of Initiative Is, would have you
believe it is aimed entirely at
the TAVERN" declared Smith.
"That is far from the truth"
Actually, it also affects the
retail grocers. Initiative Is, if
passed, would prohibit the sale
Of beer and wine by more than
100 retail grocers in the state.
These grocers are substantial citi-
zens of their communities. Their
customers are people who enjoy
an occasional glass of beer or
wine at home, temperate Amer
lean custom.
Initiative Is, besides being a
drastic step toward statewide
prohibition, is, we believe, unfair
both to the grocery business and
to its customers. We urge our
friends and fellow citizens to vote
against Initiative Is.
