PAGE TWO SLICE EXPENSE 500 MILLIONS FUTURE TAX REDUCTION HINGES ON FEDERAL CURTAILMENT, SAYS PRESIDENT SHERIDAN GUEStToF HONOR Two Cities Shake Hands; Become Bet ter Acquainted Through Medium of Business Men's Fellow ship Society ■»r— — Washington,—President Harding, in transmitting the annual federal budget for the next fiscal year, frankly told congress that whether tbere was to be any material reduction in government expenditures and in taxes In future years would depend largely on whether there was to be a curtailment or ex pansion of federal aid in lines of re search, Improvement and development. Placing the estimated government outlay in 1924 at $3,180,843,234, a de crease of about $500,000,000 as com pared with estimates for this fiscal year, Mr. Harding called attention that two-thirds of this total was on account of practically fixed charges, such as the public debt, national defense, pen sions, World war allowance and fed eral aid. There was left, he said, only about $1,000,000,000 in charges subject to administrative control and against w*hich, he added, the retrenchment policy of the government had been di rected. While expressing the opinion that some further reduction undoubtedly would result from a reorganization of government establishments on a more scientific basis, the president said this alone would not affect such a material cut in operating costs as would justify the expression of hope for a consider able lessening of expenditures In the years to come. Taking up the question of federal aid, the executive declared that this was a rapidly broadening Held of ex penditure, and that there was a ques tion ns to 'how far the government should participate In It. He added that it did not pertain to the normal functions or operations of the business of the government.

RABBITS QUITE AS DELICIOUS AS CHICKENS WHEN PROPERLY COOKED *** -- - —‘ W.--' The Flavor of Y ouna Rabbit* Resembles White Meat of Chicken. iPrepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Projierly cooked rabbits are as de licious as chicken, the United States Department of Agriculture points out, and are more economical, even when they must tie purchased from a butch er. Tlie flavor of young hutch rabbits somewhat resembles tlie white meat of chicken, and tlie less lender, but more gamey. wild rubbits, well prepared, nre similar in taste to tlie darker portions of poultry that has been fricasseed or cooked In a casserole. Appetizing Ways of Cooking. Before cooking the rabbit should be wasted carefully In cold water and patted dry with a clean towel. It may then be stuffed and trussed If It Is to be cooked whole, or cut Into eight or ten pieces. Young tender rabbits may be simply dredged with flour, salt and pepper end fried In four tnblespoon fuls of fat, like fried chicken. Sau sage fat gives a particularly good flavor to fried rabbit. The flavor of bacon also combines well with rabbit A cream or brown gravy should be made, using the fat In which the rabbit was fried. Another excellent way to cook a ten der rabbit Is to bake It in cream or white sauce. Split the rabbit Into two halves along the backbone, dredge with flour, lay six slices of bacon across it, and pour three cupfuls of white sauce or three cupfuls of cream over it. Bake for 1% hours, basting frequently. The rubbit liver, boiled till tender and chopped, mny be added to the gravy. Smothered rabbit Is stuffed and braised slowly with very little water In a covered pan. Many dishes may be prepared after stewing rabbit till tender. The meat may be cut from tlx? bones In large pieces and served as rabbit pie, or a gravy made from the broth, with either a pastry or biscuit crust. Any broth not used makes excellent soup. Rabbit salad may be mixed with celery In the same proportions ns chicken salad—two parts of diced cold cooked meat to one part of chopped celery and one-half part of salad dressing. The boiled rabbit mny be served as a stew by adding potatoes, carrots and onions whan the meat Is partly cooked. The liquid in which the stew is cooked should be thickened. A spiced rabbit stew appeals to many persona.. The seasonings consist of six slices of ba con, chopped, a minced onion of me dium size, two tabiespoonfuls of salt, one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper and one tablespoonful of whole cloves In a bag, all covered with boiling water FARM WOMEN IMPROVE HOME SEWING PLANS Co-Operating Extensively With Extension Workers. Among Things That Are Receiving Particular Attention Are Making and Use of Drees Forms— —Better Able to Remodel. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Farm women in many sections are co-operating actively in clothing work bs carried on with the assistance of state and county extension workers, (n this work local representatives or leaders, selected by the various com* munities in a county, come together at some convenient point for training. Provided with the necessary teaching helps, these women repeat to organized groups 'n their own neighbornood the Instruction they have received and gather up reports on work done. The success of local leadership is due not only to the ability and devotion of local women but to the simple, prac tical basis to which extension work ers have reduced their teaching. According to reports received by the United States Department of Agricul ture the things that are receiving par ticular attention are the making and use of dress forms; alteration of pat terns and making of fltted-to-measure foundation patterns; clothing construc tion processes, remodeling; renova tion; garment finishes; use of machine attachments; clothing hygiene, Includ ing the selection of shoes and corsets; millinery, and selection of textile ma terials and ready-made clothing for quality and design. As a result of the work, farm women have been enabled to improve their ability to select ma terltds end to remodel and make gar nents and ether articles of clothing WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1922. and stewed slowly together till the rabbit Is tender. A brown sauce if made separately and poured over the rabbit, which is then simmered two hours. First Fried, Then S mmered. The flavor of many slowly cooked rabbit dishes Is Improved by first browning the pieces of rabbit In a little bacon or other fat and then cooking them slowly either In water or In n gravy made from the same fat. Fricasseed rabbit Is first browned and then boiled. It Is often served with steamed dumplings, made like biscuit dough with the addition of an egg and steamed in the gravy of the fricassee. Casserole rabbit Is cut up and browned In bacon fat. then arranged In a cas serole with strips of fried bacon, sliced onions nnd potatoes, dredged lightly with flour and covered with water. The casserole should be covered tight ly and slowly baked for two hours. A tomato sauce may be used instead of water In tlie casserole, the potato being omitted, or the browned rabbit may be simmered in a tomato and onion sauce over a low flame till ths ralibit Is tender. The tomato sauce cooks down and gives a very good flavor to the rabbit. A savory stew may be made after frying the rabbit f by boiling one medium-sized onion nnd two bay leaves with the mont until It Is nearly tender. To the fat that was used to brown the rabbit add two ta blespoonfuls of flour, mix thoroughly and add one cupful of vinognr. Pour this sauce over the meat and simmer until it Is very tender. Serve with fresh or ennned string beans and a dessert of baked apples. Other Uses for Rabbit. Any cold cooked rabbit mny be ground up and used ns a basis for hash, croquettes, shepherd’s pie. or similar dishes. Meat loaf or meat ball! . may l>e made of raw chi»pp<<i rabbit meat In the same way as beef or venL Sausage cakes mny be mode from twice-ground meat with any preferred seasoning. If pork flavor Is desired one part fat pork may be mixed with two parts ground rabbit meat. Very good sausage flavor will result from mixing the following proportions: two\ pounds twice-ground rabbit meat. one t minced onion (which may be omitted) one tablcspoonful salt, one teaspoon ful pepper, one and one-hats teaspoon fuls powdered sage, one bay leaf, pinch each of thyme and allspice, four to six tablespoonfuls finely crumbed dry bread or cracked crumbs, one beat en egg and one-half cup of rich sweet milk. VARIETY PLEASES CHILDREN Youngsters Will Eat More Bread If Different Kinde Are Served, Especially for Lunch. Children will often ent more bread If different kinds nre served, especially for the basket lunch at school or ths hot school lunch, says the United States Department of Agriculture, Sometimes so simple a change as bak ing the bread In a new form —a twist, for example. Instead of a loaf —or cut ting bread and butter in a fancy shaps with a cooky cutter will Increase n child’s relish for it. So, too, will a change of flavor, obtained by adding a few raisins, dried currants or meats. yfll Ground X* House Never serve more than one fried food at a meal. • • • Pp.lnt your summer screens with kerosene oil before storing and the/ will be like new when you take them out again next summer. • • • When grape juice Is spilled on • tablecloth, spread the spot at one® with salt.
