.Veic and Delicious Uses
LEOTILS as a "meat substitute" used to
J be considered an economical food, and,
perhaps, were somewhat despised for that
season This small legume, however, has
now come to be quite a luxury, for It has
more than trebled In prlrti since the out
break of tho war. Most of the lenllli which
wo consume In this country are raised In
Kgypt, nnd naturally Imparts from that
section of the globo have been considerably
reduced Consequently, the supply of lentils
Is slowly diminishing, and unless wo can
succeed In growing lentils In the warmer
sections of the United States this food may
come to bo In tho same class as mushrooms
and truffles
For tho present, however. It Is still possi
ble to buy tho same nutritious lentils. Kven
at tho higher price they aro worth buying
lentils contain about thirty per cent of pro
tein, fifty per cent of starch and very llttlo
waste, which mokes them oven more nutri
tious than dried beans, which contain 22 H
per cent of protein. Lentils can be cooked
llko beans for puree, or they may bo baked
a-j tho central dish for a substantial lunch
eon or supper.
I1AKKD LENTILS
Pour cupfuls of lentils, four cupfuls of
water, one-half cupful of diced salt pork,
ono small onion, one heaping teaapoonfut
of salt, ono-half teaspoontul of pepper
I'lck nnd wash lentils nnd soak them In
cold writer over night. In tho morning pour
off the water nnd put the lentils In a sauce
pan, covering with eight cupfuls of cold
water When the water bolls the lentils will
rise to the top. Then romovo them with a
skimmer nnd add diced pork and onion
and placo In a baking dish. Add pepper and
salt to a quart of boiling water and pour
over tho lentils. Uake In a moderate oven
for nbout four and a half hours. This Is n
dish which can bo mado excellently In tho
tireless cooker, nn It can be started In the
morning nnd left In the cooker until eve
ning. If preferred, start lato In the after
noon, leave In tho flroless cooker all night
and servo as a luncheon dish.
COOKINO BEANS
Boll the beans for half an hour, then re
move tho sklti and mash tho benns with n
wooden Bpoon until thoroughly smooth
I'laco In a saucepan with enough butter to
bring to n creamy consistency, and add n
dash of sugar, pepper and salt. Then put In
a buttered mold and keep tho mold hot

Christmns Trees Costlier Be-
cnuao of Smaller Product
nnd Freight Congestion
The high cost of living Is now tAklnft" ft
whack at Santa Claus.
Or, In other words, Christmas trees hara
gone Alplnlng.
Parents could organise Into societies nnd
no doubt reduce tho prices by a boycott,
but what father ot small children would
have tho nerve to do this?
Like everything else, Christmas tr
have a perfectly good nllbl. And It Is not
the war. Scarcity of trees, the high price
of labor, the scarcity of freight cars and,
the embargoes Imirased by various rails
roads, causing difficulty to get shipments
through, aro reawns given for the advance.
Trees this year will be twenty-five ta
ntty per cent higher than last season. At
present they aro selling at I OS to $120 ft
hundred, wholesale, whereas this time-last
j ear they brought 65 to $100. The
wholesalo prices wilt bring the retail price
tn 12 25, $2.(0 and $3 a tree of the same
grade sold nt $1.2E to $1 last season.
Thero are only ninety-four cars of Christ
mas trees nt the Nineteenth street and
Indiana nvenue freight jnrds of the Phila
delphia nnd Heading Hallway, where moat
of Philadelphia's trees come In. This tlma
Inst venr there vvero 160 cars, making; a
shortnge of sixty-five cars.
Many denlera In Malno and other north
eru .Slates cut thousands of trees, but are
tumble to obtain cars to ship thorn to th
markets Another reason for the scarcity
Is the Kgyptlnu moth, which has done (treat
ilnm.vge to the trees In Malno nnd New
Hampshire, devastating miles ot them.
