FOODS IN
Tiis is fic first of a acnes of articles on food values and marketing
tips to bo written weekly for the EVENING LEDGER by Mrs. Elsie G.
McKay.
mm. McKay is a coiicne graduate and a housewife of more than ten
years' standing. She combines, therefore, the theoretical knowledge of
nutritive properties of food with the practical experience gained m her
own Kiicncn,
She dons not hr.lir.vn that. a. hnvil.ivnrhinn fntitilu rAtt otihaiat nii nit
rt diet of it(i8 or cottage cheese for
health that nature endowed them with.
ment made by a so-called food expert recently that one chicken is ample
for a family of six adults for two meals the while meat for dinner and
the dark for tea.
On the contrary, her articles will treat of seasonable products of all
kinds that can be obtained in. the local markets, and their ain will be to
help the average housekeeping woman to plan sane, reasonably priced
meals, rather than freak menus advanced as "jusl-as-good" substitutes for
the staple foods.
By MRS. ELSIE C. McKAY
The prudent housewife In setting out to
buy her food supply should always ask
heisclf two question "What foods aro In
season and wlinro may they bo best ob
tained nt the lowest prices?"
Refrlgerntlon nnd transportation facil
ities havo reached such a 'itlgh stage nf
deelopment thnt It Is prnctlcally possl
bto to havo everything cdlblo nt nny Rea
son of tho year If ono has the means to
pay for It and but knows whero to get It.
But tho nvcrage otndn Is looking for
wholesome, seasonable food at reasonable
cost, and it sho keeps her oyci open nnd
follows tho market quotations she can
not mHs getting It.
Tho early spring season Is, unfortunate
ly, n "between season," Wncn winter
vegetables and fruits are apt to bo n
llttlo "tired." Spring products, on the
other hand, nto forced and likely to bo
deficient In flavor, though they seem to
excel In beauty and lusclousnesn.
Oddly enough, however, In these vernal
das of lassitude when tho system de
mands a chango from tho heavier foods
to thoso less heMIng ones which nro rich
In acids, oranges, grapefruit, lemons,
apples nnd bananas havo never been
choaper. Nutritious and easily digested,
they should bo used In abundnnco whllo
tho season lastB, for nfter a whllo thoy
will bo supplanted by berries nnd peaches.
FRUITS
Oranges, which can bo prepared In so
many tempting ways for breakfast nnd
ns a dessert, can be bought from 25 cents
to 60 cents a dozen, fancy. Lemons nt
from 10 cents to 15 conts.
Tho tonlo and liver stimulating prop
erties of lemons nro known to nil, making
them an lnvaluablo fruit at this season.
Grapefruit, luscious big ones, aro In
market nt 5 cents apiece. Extra fancy
ones may bo had from 75 conts to $1 a.
dozen. Tangerines aro selling at 30 cents
to CO cents a dozen. A few blood oranges
remain, but aro not so nice.
Bananas, both yellow nnd red, nro plen
tiful and cheap. When baked-they are
more dlgostlblo and can bo eaten by many
who could not cat them raw. Thoy rank
very high In food value. Yellow ones can
bo bought from 12 cents to 20 cents a
dozen, and tho red, fancy ones at CO cents
a dozen.
Apples still nro seen In nbundance. A
good supply of cold storage ones aro still
Intho mnrkot. Eastern apples nro vory
good at 20 cents a half peck. Tho fancy
Western fruit sells from 23 cents to 40
cents a dozen.
Fancy figs sell now at 25 cents to 30
cents per box, tho medicinal virtue of
which It known to all. Dates retail at a
reasonable figure; cocoanuts nt 10 cents,
and whlto grapes at 25 cents a pound.
Until berries arrive at reasonable, sea
sonable prices wo must not scorn to
muko uso of dried fruits, which, when
combined with cereals, aro vory nutri
tious. They may be prepared and served
vory temptingly when made Into pastries,
puddlngB, etc.
Wo must not forget the canned fruits
and 'preserves, Of which the housewife,
we take for granted, has a good supply
remaining In her pantry.
These, served with cereals, or mado
Into tempting desserts, aro a wonderful
help until berries arrlvo In tho markets.
VEGETABLES
Among tho vegetables which are best
adapted to this season's uso aro spinach,
rich In Iron and a splendid tonic, nt 23
cents a half peck; old potatoes, at 30
cents per basket of 30 pounds. Sweet
potatoes still may be had, but one must
bo careful In buying, as they nro not so
choice now.
There Is a special potato selling In tha
market called "Capo May Red Skin." It
is ono of the best flavored and most
menly potatoes grown. It Is rare, and
comes from South Jersey. They nro
about as reasonable as tho white potato.
Scullions may be purchased at three
bunches for 5 cents. Dandelions, tho hot
house product, nro In the market at 15
cents a quart. The wild dandelion does
not appear until later.
French endive Is very good at 35c a
pound. Celery and cabbage, still continue
good, tho former nt from 20o to 20a
a bunch and the latter, old, at 5o to 10c,
new from tho South.
A few old red beets yet remain, but
they aro more or less shriveled and
tough. New ones from the South are In
at 5a to 8a a bunch.
Carrots are obtainable at lOo a quarter
peck for the old ones and new from 10a
to 15o per bunch. Onions aro 15c a quar
ter peck.
From tho South wo have string beans
and eggplant. Cauliflower Is selling
from 15c to 25c, and asparagus, 25q to
60a bunch. Relishes, at Ea a bunch, nro
nice and frcBli. Rhubarb Is also In tho
market at 10c for the large stalk. Mush
rooms sell from 35o to 40a a pound, arti
chokes 2 for 25c,
For those with unlimited means, and
who always want the out-of-season prod
ucts, lima beans may 'be had at 75c a halt
peck.
MEATS
In meats, mutton chops sell for 23c,
eg of mutton at 22c. Lamb chops, French
ribbed, at 25o to 35c. Loin at 22c. Spring
lamb, four to five weeks old, 13.50 to 35

23c to 35c; rib roast, 23a to 25c, best.
rork Is still In season. Veal Is always
delicious, but not as nutritious as some
of the other meats. Calves' liver, bacon,
hearts, kidney, tongue, sweetbreads, etc.,
are all delectable and not exorbitant in
price.

but rathor high; roasting chickens Bell

EGGS
Owing to tho open winter and early
spring weather, chickens have been lay

TOOTHSOME FISH HERE
FOR GOOD FRIDAY MENU
Markets Replace Frozen Ar
ticle With Fresh Sea Food
From Southern Waters.
Tho markets will bo open on Good Fri
day, desplto tho fact that to a gieat
many peoplo this day Is synonymous
with solemn prayer and rigid fasting.
Tho consensus of opinion expressed by
tho men who keep tho stalls nnd who
draw their deductions from cash register
lesults rather than from any ethical
considerations Is that not nearly so
many people kept the Lenten fast this
joar as In times gono by, nnd tho pur
chasing Is expected to bo Just as heavy
on Friday as on other market days.
Already tho stalls in the fish sections
show hugo signs calling attention to tho
fact that the season of frozen, tasteless
fish Is over and that succulent sea food
fresh from Southern waters can bo had at
normal prices. Roo and buck shad oc
cupy a conspicuous placo on the coun
ters nnd lead all others, perhaps, as
favorites for tho Good Friday dinner.
Largo quantities ot fresh poultiy and
spring lamb are coming In for those
who do not adhero to a fish diet on this
day, and new asparagus, lettuce and beets
are among the tempting vegetables.
But the delicacy which Is particularly
typical of Good Friday Is tho hot-cross
bun. Sugary, brown and spicy, this little
bun marked with a cross lu the middle
can be obtained from tho bakeries making
a specialty of them, only on this day, and,
according to a leading baker here, largo
orders for them wore iccelved weeks
ahead of time
Tho hot-cross bun Is a relic of tho day
when Good Friday was a festival and not
a fast day, and the eatmg of tho buns
has been traced back to the pagan cus
tom of worshiping tho Gods through
tho medium of llttlo cakes. But the
English custom which Is observed hero
originated with the mediaeval superstition
that bread baked on Good Friday and
inu'rkeil with a little cross had a pecullai
medicinal power.
Tho bread was made Into little loaves
the size of a bun nnd was kept through
out the year. A llttlo bit grated In water
was popularly supposed to euro almost
any ailment. The Philadelphia buns,
however, are so delectable that there are
never any left over, and Illnesses have,
perforce, to be cured in the commonplace
way by doctors nnd drugs.
Watch Gets Cop In Trouble
Policeman Aloyslus Dermody, attached
to the 20th and Buttonwood streets, sta
tion, will be summoned before the Police
Board ot Inquiry today to explain why
ho failed to account for a watch which
was turned over to him as a lost article
at the tabernacle during the "Billy"
Sunday campaign. The timepiece was
lost by Mrs Martha Moyer, 6063 Webster
street, and the woman who found it told
Director Porter she had given It to
Dermody,
Ericsson Starts for Trial Trip
The topedoboat destroyer Ericsson, con
structed for the United States navy by
the New York Shipbuilding Company, left
the Camden yard today for her builder's
trials oft the Delaware capes. Should
everything work satisfactorily the official
test under the eyes of the Naval Trial
Board will be held next week. It Is ex
pected that the warship will return late
tomorrow.

who was about six feet tall, S3 years old,
thin faced, ot light complexion, nnd woro
a light brown overcoat, placed n black
leather bag on tho counter. Both brothers
were waiting for their visitors to open
thn bng when tho tnll man showed tho
bag n few Inches down tho counter.
AWED BY REVOLVER
"Step (back nnd don't shout," ordered
I ho tall man as ho whipped n revolver
from his overcoat pocket. Tho oppcar
anco of tho pistol came bo suddenly that
both brothcis for tho moment, didn't know
whether they should show rcslstnnco or
shout for help.
Whllo the tall man was pointing tho
revolver nt tho brothers, tho other bandit,
leather bng In hand, leaped across tho
counter, lie walked to tho safe, which
was open, nnd began to pull out the
drnwors, which contained J3000 worth of
diamonds. Jewelry and old gold nnd
silver.
"I told you not to movel" almost
shouted tho tall man to 'William Bersh
steln, when ho attempted to walk toward
tho safe.
"Hold that feller and plug him It ho
makes another move." said tho man at
the Bate, after William had mado n
another step toward tho safe.
Among tho articles taken uero two dia
mond rings, one with a cluster ot nine
brilliants and tho other with 22; Masonic
charms, seal rings, nlno diamond-studded
stickpins, two plain gold watches, n tray
of wedding rings, 3 gypsy rings, 27 rings
ot various patterns, ono solitaire diamond
ring, a ring with a cluster of 15 precious
stones nnd old gold valued nt JIM.
AVALK CALMLY OUT.
After cmptjlng every drawer and filling
up the satchel with loot tho men kneeled
down on tho floor and spent several min
utes making suro that the satchel was
closed. Then they walked calmly out nf
the ofllcn. Iicforo closing the door both
men cautioned tho brothers not to raise
any alarm, v
"You know wo can come back Just as
suddenly ns we entered," said the tall
man.
The men walked down tho stairs. At
tho foot of tho stairs wero several women
nnd men patients. In tho crowd stood
Mrs. Betty Jones, the negro Janltress of
tho building. They passed her nnd
walked across tho street. A few min
utes later tho brothers camo running
down the stairs and told Mrs. Jones to
get a policeman. Whllo she was stand
ing at the northwest corner of Sth and
Walnut streets looking for a policeman
sho saw the two bandits, one of whom
carried tho satchel.
BANDIT'S PARTING JOKE.
Mrs. Jones didn't suspect the men. She
stopped to talk to them n while. She
said she was looking for a policeman.
"That is too bad," remarked ono ot the
bandits, ns he climbed Into the nutomo
hlle. There was no chauffeur. One of
the bandits operated tho car.
Ono of the Bershsteln brothers tele
phoned to the Detective Bureau. Lieu
tenant Tate, who answered the call, sent
Detectives Benz, I)oylo and Special Po
licemen McDevitt and Burns. When they
reached the Bershsteln ofllco they found
tho nfo open nnd ono of the chairs over
turned. Tho chair had been knocked
down accidentally by tho hold-up man
who had rilled the safe.
The detectives questioned persons who
lmvo ofllces In tho neighborhood to learn
whether they had seen the bandits or tho
automobile. Georgo R. Drelsbach, of the
firm of Thomas A. Lee & Co., dealers In
gold nnd silver, whose ofllces are at 712
Walnut street, said he had seen an auto
mobile stundlng In front of 729 Walnut
street about tho time of tho hold-up. He
said thera was no chauneur In tho car,
but that tho motor v"as chugging
furiously.
THIRF HAD FALSE MUSTACHE.
According to the Bershsteln brothers,
the man who pointed the revolver nt them
was about six feet tall, between the age
ot 33 and 3$, of light complexion and light
hair. Both were Mire that this man wore
a false blond mustache. The second man
was about five feet six inches tall, of
light complexion ana woro a darn suit
and u light soft hat.
Immediately after the hold-up. Captain
ot Detectives Cameron assigned several
detectives to visit garages In various
parts of the city, to try to locate the
machine. The automobile In which the
bandits made their escape Is described
as a machine built to accommodate only
two persons.

Rev. J. J. Mnttes, of Trenton,
Delivers Sermon in St.
John's Lutheran Church.
Tho Rev. J. J. Mattes, lector of tho
Church of Ihe Saviour, Trenton, delivered
the sermon nt tho Lenten services today
at Old St. John's Lutheran Church, Raco
street below 6th.
"Llko tho child that nccdi nsMntniicu
when first It begins lo walk, so the soul
In Us earthly strugglo needs assistance,"
ho said. "As three days with Christ hnd
not relieved 00O from phvslcnl hunger,
so thrco jenrs with Him hail not rnlsed
tho 12 nbovo tho need of dlvlno grace.
Tho further wo go on our road tho more
wo como to God, tho more apparent the
need ot Ills help becomes. It Is easier to
tako the first step toward common decency
than to rise to tho higher level of spirit
ual achievement. Tho npostles depended
first on Christ's presence, then on tho
grnco of tho Holy Spirit God Ihib not
withdrawn that graco from us.
"In tho Word nnd sacraments It Is Mill
hero. But do wo uso It? Wo idollzo tho
Blblo Instead of reading It. We say
that wo bear Christ's namo without using
It. Wo bellevo that tho Real Presence Is
In tho snerament moro with our heads
than with our hearts. Wo know that
Christ Is whero two or thrco nro gathered
together In His namo without trying to
find Him there. Wo know that God
has not withdrawn HIh help from us,
but wo continually withdraw from Htm.
Wo despise the assistance of His grace
and then wonder why wp faint b the

Christian the thought has a deeper sig

saviour of rami, tho King, Up Is the
Man, filling our whole horizon, dominat
