LACS OF THKM IS THE WIMTKR DIET BXSPOM8IBLX FOB "SPRIHG RYU." Vegetable* are ju»t u necesaary a pert of the dally meal m breed, if the body it to be kept atrong and healthy. Housekeepers sometimes forget thli Id winter when fresh vegetables are hard to get and the family la tired of all the kinds on hand. Too often the diet la allowed to beoome one of the meat· .bread-and-potato type, whioh doea not give ohlldreo all the thlnga they need to make them grow and develop normilly, and whioh la aosatiafaotory for adults as well. It needs to be supplemented by plenty of milk, eggs, and other végéta blea besides potatoes. THE CAUSE OF THAT "TIBED FEELING." "Spring fever," or the tired-out feel ing that comes at the end of winter nutrition experts lay to the iaok of suf ficient fruits and vegetables in the win ter diet. Certain It Is that many persons have an unuaual craving for "greens" In the spring which they probably would not have if meals during the winter in cluded an abundance of vegetables, and when vegetables and fruits are entirely IMW&lUg 1U lue imo "'Uici, WJ «U evuir northern region», severe illness ie often noted. Preparing the familiar kinds of vege tables in more appetizing ways that are perhaps new to the family and teaching the children to eat kinds that they are prejudiced against are at least two ways id whioh the bomtekeeper can solve her problem of what to have for dinner io winter. Moreover, many persons makethejmls tike of cooking vegetables too long. This makes those with delicate flavors tasteless, develops strone flavor· too much, destroys the agreeable texture of some, causes others to lose their at tractive coloring, and in most cases cooks oat too large a proportion of the mineral salts, one thing which mikg* vegetables especially valuable as food If the strong ones, Kuoh as onions, are cooked in a rather large quantity of water in an unoovered vessel, they will have a more delicate flavor. The follow ing ways of cooking some of the winter vegetables are recommended by home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Cabbage has long been a winter stand by, but many persons do not like it be cause it is often cooked until it is a limp, colorless mass. It is generally one of the cheapest of the winter vege'ables, and also one of the richest lo calcium (lime) and iron, substances that ever; one needs to keep the body in good working order. It should be boiled only 20 to 30 minutes, in salted water. It may then be seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter or cream; or, scalloped with cheese, it makes a substantial dish, suit able for the main dish at lunoh or sup per. SCALLOPED CABBAGE AND CHEESE 1-2 medium-sized cabbage 2 tablespoons butter or other fat 2 tablespoons flour 1 cup milk I-2 teaspoon salt Pepper as desired 3-4 on ρ grated cheese Waah the cabbage thoroughly, put it into boiling salted water, aud cook for 20 to SO minutes. Drain It, and keep the water in which it has been cooked for use in soup, If desired. Make a white sauce from the butter, flour, milk, salt and pepper, and stir into it the grated oheese. In a greased baking-disb place alternate layers of the cabbage and aauoe, cover the top with bread orumbs that have been oombined with a little melted batter or other fat, and bake for 16 minutes, or until the crumbs are browned. Oniooe are another rich source of body-batlding mineral substances. To suit most persons they, too, need to be oooked in snob a way that their flavor becomes milder rather than stronger. Bere is a recipe for an appetizing soup, easy to make and bo hearty that, with a substantial dessert and plenty of bread and butter, it will be enough for lunch eon or supper. ONION SOUP WITHOUT MEAT 1 large onion II-2 tablespoons butter or other fat 1 1-2 pints milk, half water and half milk, or water alone Salt and pepper as desired Peel the onion under water to prevent the volatile substance from getting into the eyes, cut it into small pieces and cook it slowly and carefully In the fat. When the onion is tender increase the heat and brown the onion, stirring it all the time to prevent burning.

Good homemade bread is about tbe moat appetizing of foods wben one Is hungry, but there are many kinds of homemade bread. Some it good, some is bad, and some indifferent. Wbict kind do you make? If you don't know, judge it by tbe following description of a good loaf given bv tbe Home Ecooomlo* Kitcheo of tbe United States Depart ment of Agriculture: Good bread Is porous and contains a large number of holes or cells, all ot which are of about tbe same size and shape. It is better for some reasons to think of it as a mass of tiny bubbles made of flour and water and hardened or fixed in shape by means of heat. This calls attention not only to tbe size of boles or cells, but also to the char acter of walls of tbe cells, which in good bread are always very thin. A loaf of bread should be light io weight, considering it· size, and should have a symmetrical form and an un broken, golden-brown crust. Tbe crust should be smooth on top and should have a certain luster, to which tbe term "bloom" bas been given. Tbe loaf as a whole, tbe crust and the crumb, should be elastic. Tbe loaf, if pressed out of shape, as It often is when slices are out from it, should regain its form wben tbe pressure is removed. Bits of tbe crust, if bent a little between tbe fingers, should show tbe same pow er to rebound, aa should also the cut surface of the loaf if pressed. Tbe crumb should be creamy white in oolor and should bave a "sheen," which may be oompared witb tbe bloom of the crust. This sheen can beat be seen by looking across a slice rather than direo:· ly down Into it. Tbe distribution of the holes, on tbe other hand, and the thick oeaa of tbe walls can best be examined by cutting a very thin slioe and holding it op to the light. The flavor of tbe bread should be, as nearly aa possible, tbe flavor of wbeat developed or brought out by the use of «alt. This flavor is not eaay to describe, but is familiar to those who bave tasted the wheat kernel. Mutton Smothered In Tomato Sauce. Mutton steak (a aliee from the tbioker portion of the leg) will serve more peo ple when cooked in the following man oer than wben served plain, and is delicious. The following recipe for this dlsb is reoommended by the Home Eco nomics Kitchen of the United State· Department ot Agriculture: 1 12 pound· mutton steak 1 oop bread crumb· 1 small onion Poultry seasoning Salt 1 oan tomatoes or 1 quart freeb to matoes out in «Hoes Spread over tbe mutton steak a layer of bread orumbs mixed with tbe minced onion and other seasoning·. Roll and tie Into shape. Place in a casserole or other dish with a tightly fitting oover. Poor the tomatoe· over the meat and cook very «lowly In the oven or on top of the atove for three or four hour·. If the tomatoes do not oover the meat, add a Uttle boiling water. There la no sweeter Bight In all tbe 11 world than the light· Id one'· home op- a on returning after an absence. Β \A_ PUBLIC OPPOSES GOVT OPERATION Canvass of 5,154 Editors Shows 1 4,466 Communities Against Socialistic Experiment OPPOSITION GROWING Eighty-Mven Par Cent In 1020 aa Against 83 Par Cant In 1919 Think Publia la Oppaaad ta Radloallam. The American public la mora In tensely opposed to Government opera tion than It was a year ago, according to the newspaper editors of the coun try. Out of 5,154 editors replying to a questionnaire sent out by the Press Service Company of New York, 4,466, or 86 per cent gare It aa their Judg ment that the people of their commu nities were overwhelmingly against the Qovernment competing In business with Its own citizens. i In 1919 th$. Press Service Company . conducted a similar canvass ef editors on the government operation of rail j83 per cent of the editors considered , their communities against Govern- < [ment operation of public utilities. J I Apparently, then, if editors estimate public opinion accurately, that opln- ! Ion In a year, considered by commu nities, has swung 3 per cent farther | away from socialistic experiments. < Eleven Million Circulation. i The combined circulation of the pa pers whose editors replied is 11,428,- J 817, which means, according to the usual estimated ratio between circula· ( tlon and readers, a constituency of at 1 least 44,000,000. And this constituer ' cy Is preity evenly scattered through- , out the country, no considerable sec- ι tlon of any state being unrepresented | The estimate of opinion based on this < thoroughly diffused 44 per cent of the country's population may, therefore, j be considered a fair representation of ( the people as a whole. Another feature of the result is its evident lack of partisan bias. The | major political affiliations of the pa- < pers represented are fairly evenly dl vlded, being 1,857 Republican and j 1,350 Democratic. There are also 1,485 ι Independent and 462 miscellaneous. Including labor organs, etc. * How little the results are affected ' by the politics of the papers Is shown ( in an analysis by sections. In the ι Southern section, for Instance, where 1 replies came from 05 Republican pa pers and 389 Democratic, the per- | centage against Government operation was 88; In the Great Lake section, < with conditions reversed, 478 Uepub- 1 llcan and 155 Democratic, the oppo- ( sltlon was 87 per cent. 1 Replies from the West. Middle West and Southwest show that It Is a mis- ç take to consider those sections vastly more favorable to radical Government , experiments than the Fast The rad t Icals can get little comfort out of the 89 per cent of thumbs down—2 per < cent above the average—In the South- e west, Including Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma und Tex- < as. Texas, once supposed to be much given to Government regulation ex- f pertinents, returned 92 per cent of un ( favorable replies. Out irf the 244 edl- 1 tors replying from that state only three edited Republican papers. The · 82 per cent opposition of the North west, Including Iowa, Minnesota, Mon tana, Nebraska. North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming, and the 83 per 1 cent veto of the Far West group, in- ( eluding Arizona, California, Idaho, , Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Colo- j rado, Utah and Washington, are slg- j nlfleant of the prevailing conservative ι sentiment on this question even to the more radical sections. Judgment Apparently Unbiased. The questionnaire closes with a re quest for the editor's personal opin ion on certain concrete cases as fol- ] lows : I "Do you personally believe that the ] Federal Government should own and ι operate competitive Industries to pro- * vide: (a) Fertilizer? (b) Clothlngî j vc; AUlUlIlUUIItra ; vu/ ι αι IU IUI| ments? (β) Foodstuffs? Substantially all the editors who gave estimates of their readers' opin ions also expressed their owu by re plying to this last question. Proof of considerable effort to avoid personal bias Is found In the fact that In many cases the editor differed from the opinion he credited to his community. The percentage of "nos" ran: (a) 76; (b) 88; (c) 86; (d) 82; (e) 79. While the questions were based on general principles Involved In the Government participating in competi tive business, the so-called Muscle Shoals Bill now before Congress was used as a concrete example of a Gov ernment operation scheme. Under this bill a Government-owned corporation would b· given broad powers to oper ate and develop Government plants and properties. It would produce at Muscle Shoals various fertiliser prod ucts and sell them In competition with producers and merchants In the fer tilizer business. Tho strength of the opposition to I Government operation Is Indicated by the replies from Alabama, where the Muscie Shoalk war plant Is and where, of course, there Is Intense Interest and local pride In getting Its expected peace-time operation under way at the J earliest possible date. Fifty editors from that state replied^ of whom 8.* were opposed to Government operu tlon, 8 In favor and 4 doubtful. FRENCH PRAISE FOR OUR RED CROSS WORK Lauding the work accomplished by American philanthropy for war stricken France, Andre Tardleu, form er high commissioner from that no tlon to the Dnlted States, In a recent article widely commented on through· jut the French press, says: "The American Red Cross has ac complished a work which calls for the heartfelt gratitude of every true Frenchman. In 1918 this great relief )rgan!zatlon spent In behalf of France nearly 87,000,000 franca, and In 1910 its expenditures on charitable projects In our country attained the tremen Jons total of 171,000,000. It has re cently turned over to the French relief organizations huge stocks of sup piles whose value must be counted in the hundreds of thousands of francs. "Fifteen million American boys and flrls, banded together In the Junior Red Cross of America, are back of a movement to establish the closest ties [>etween themselves and France's rounger generation through the char itable works they have financed, and ire now carrying oat among our little par sufferers.
