Herman, won't you?"
And before many weeks had passed

No one ever got fat eating beets
their food value is very small but
a great many people find that the suc
culent young vegetable puts a fine
edge on a dull appetite, and they
wisely add them to their spring menu.
Beets should be cooked in plenty
of water, and young beets should be
cooked about one hour. In removing
the green tops don't cut them, but
wring them from the beet rootH.
When cooked drop the beets into cold
water and the skins will slip off.
Beets make an attractive garnish
for salads.
Buttered Beets
Boil, skin and slice young beets.
Dice in large dice and turn into melt
ed butter, allowing 2 tablespoonfuls
of butter to 2 cupfuls of diced beets.
Salt to taste and sprinkle top with
paprika.
Sugared Beets
Peel and slice cooked beets; to
each pint of beets add 2 tablespoon
fuls of sugar, 3 of "butter; sjtft to
taste; ut in baking pan and heat in'
oven; stir often as they will scorch
easily; especially nice way to pre
pare the small young beets.
Creamed Beets
Boil and skin, slice or dice and put

turn over the beets a rich white
sauce and serve very hot.
Beets in Sour Sauce

cream and vinegar. Reheat the beets
in the sauce and serve at once. Do
not stir, as the beets will become
broken and the sauce discolored.
