May 3e Used in Cooking in About
Same Manner as Fresh
Varieties Are Employed.
GOOD MIXTURES FOR SOUPS
Housekeeper Should Remember That
Only Vegetables That Absorb
Water and Ccok at Equal
Rates Can Be Combined.
(Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Various dried or evaporated vege
tables may be used iu cookery in most
of the ways in which fresh materials
are employed. They may find their
widest usefulness, however, in soup
mixtures or in the preparation of the
ever popular old-fashioned vegetable
bolled dinuer. Prying permits the
serving- of . any fuvorite vegetable
combination at any und all seasons'of
the year.
For those who wish to make a vege
table mixture that will have the max
imum food value and at the same time
bo as nearly as possible a complete or
balanced ration, the formulas used in
making evaporated soup mixtures for
the liritish armies may serve as
guides. One of these mixtures con
tains 20 per cent each of potatoes,
turnip? and peas, 17 per cent each
of carrots, and beans, and 6.per cent
of onions. In another, the combina
tion is 37 per cent of potatoes, 19 per
cent each of carrots and turnips, 10
per cent each of onions and cabbage,
and 2% per cent each of beans and
pena.

formulas in having in most instances
a larger percentage of potato, in the
absence of beans and peas, and in
having various minor additions, such
as beets, celery, radishes aud toma
toes.
In making up combinations of dried
vegetables, the housekeeper should re
member that the mixture must subse
quently be soaked and cooked as a
unit, and only vegetables that absorb
water and cook at approximately
equal rates can be successfully com
bined in a dry condition. Such mate
rials as the root vegetables, cabbage,
celery, tomatoes and onions behave
alike both in their absorption of water
and in cooking, according to special
ists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. Any desired com
bination can be made from them.
Dried corn and mature peas and
beans absorb water very much more
slowly and must be cooked from two
to three times as long as materials in
the Hst .lust given. For this reason
they cannot he mixed with other
vegetables before soaking. Instead,
they should be separated, soaked, and
partly cooked. Then the other vege
tates desired in the mixture, after
previous soaking, may be added and
the whole cooked until done.
How to Dry Vegetables,
Practically all vegetables, after'be
ing sliced or otherwise made .endy
for the drier, should be blanched from
one to three minutes In boiling water
or steam before drying. They should
then he drained and spread in a very
thin layer on the shelves of the drier.
.From time to time the trays should
be withdrawn and the contents care
fully stirred so the product will dry
evenly.
When thoroughly dry the product
should be removed from the drier and
placed In a dark airy room free from
Insects. Stir occasionally during the
revernl days lt ls left there to rr.re.
Then heat carefully again for a few
minutes and store In tin cans, heavy
pasteboard boxes, or paraffined bags.
Cover tightly to exclude Insects and
store In a room which ls warm and
dry.

POINTS' OUT HUSBAND'S DUTY
Writer Insists No Man May Stand In
the Light'of His Wife's Dom?s
tic Ambitions.
"Puzzled husband" w?ites us that
he is sorely tried by his wife's ambi
tion to bake the family bread, and
other tilings. Kls domestic affection
and spirit of chivalry will not permit
him to' tel! his wife the truth-that
the bread is almost as heavy as a pav
ing stone and quite as Indigestible. So
he goes to work every morning with
a heavy heart and an even heavier
stomach, and is bedded with gripes
and abdominal pains, ?ll day. Greene
ii. Farley writes in the Seattle Post
Intelligencer.
Not only *that. but his wife ?s a con
stant reader of domestic science de
partments and she uses him as an ex
periment station. Th;* last week, he
Rays, he had biscuits that would do for
sinkers on a fish line and an anare!
cake that could not be, differentiated
from old putty. The heartrending fea
ture is that she asks him with a
bright smile how he likes it all. and he
cannot find it in his breast to tell the
juth about it; so he Hes frankly and
jyholehpartedly. *
All this is getting on his nerves ana
on his stomach and on his conscience
In the course of a little time he
feels his life insurance is going to bo
due.
Should he tell her the truth,, or
should he suffer in silence and let her
go ahead and collect the life insur

If life ls worth anything to him he
might conclude to tell her the truth
and let her go ahead and procure hei
divorce. She might find a second hus

Tfois Monster Was Battler.
The curators of the Launceston and
Tascanian museums have presented to
the Royal Society of Tasmauia the pre
liminary account ol' a nearly complete
skeleton of a giganticfextlnct monster,
recently discovered in the pleistocene
beds of Tasmania.
Hie animal was 03 iarge as the
largest existing rhinoceros. The new
discovery shows cleariy that It was a
rhinoceros-like animal, with a skull
built for aggressive warfare, and at
least one rowerful horn on the snout
Evidence of the gigantic buttles it
which this animal engaged is to be
found In the complete smashing and
partial mending of the collar-bone,
and in the crushing and subsequent
repair of the bones of the nose and
snout.
Embroidery Ardent Art.
The art of embroidery has been
practiced from time immemorial-it is
said to be as old as the art of dress
ing. The mummy clothes of ancient
Egypt show the earliest extant em
broidery and the "pome-granates of
blue and purple and scarlet" of the
book of Exodus were of embroidery.
The art reached its height in the
early middle ages. In Greece and
Rome laws were made to moderate its
use, but without success. The most
distinguished artists did not count it
condescension to ?uake the designs
frohj which the highest ladles in the
lund executed their embroideries. No

I COURT SETS VALUE ON TREES
j Decision That Will Be of Interest to
Many Communities Throughout
the Country.
In Salem, Mass., a resident sued the
I town gas light company for damages
j caused by the killing of live shade
trees through the escape of ga's from a
! leaky main. A verdict for $1,000
agalnst the -company was rendered
$200 a tree. The decision is said to
have been awaited with a, good deal
of interest by surrounding towns, for
tree killing from this cause is a com
mon thing. It has happened many
timos in Indianapolis, according to re
port," though complaints have not been
beard lately with the frequency that
characterized them l ack in the days
when natural gas was piped through
t!ie streets, hastily and no doubt often
carelessly.
The killing of a thrifty, well-grown
shade tree Is usually, a distinct loss to
any property, commonly lowering its
value. In view of the time required
for the growth of such trees $200 ls
a moderate sum in the way of damages,
and no amount of money, when It
comes to that, can really recompense
the owner of the trees. They have to
him, especially if he planted and cared
for them, a sentimental value that dol
lars cannot measure. They have added
beauty to his home and he has counted
them among his treasures. To a real
tree lover, a beautiful tree, whether
his own or not, seems almost to pos
sess a personality of its own and to
see It struggle for life and gradually
die, brings real sorrow. It ls to view
a calamity.-Indianapolis Star.
