Wa Enable Housewife to Utilize Leftover Materials Which Could Not Be Otherwise Employed—Three of the Best Recipes. Prices of foodstuffs are keeping wonderfully normal, but it behooves the housekeeper times to learn to make the very best use of the supplies which she obtains, so that she can supply nutritious meals at the lowest possible "cost. Soups provide a great deal of nutri- tion, and in making them cooked bones, whether of meat or fish, make g really good basis for the stock, while the water in which vegetables Rave been cooked is also excellent for soups. Into the stock pot can go all meat trimmings, bones, carcasses and gib- lets of poultry and game, all rinds and trimmings of tongue, ham and bacon, all liquids in which meat or vegetables have been cooked and all strippings of vegetables. All these should be properly trim- med, rinsed and put into the stock pot. Simmer, but do not boil the soup. Ten minutes’ rapid boiling will cloud a kettlefal of soup. Do n®t add the vegetables until the last hour of cooking, The delicate flavoring of both meats and vegetables is easily driven off in the steam if they are boiled rapidly or cooked too long. An easily prepared and cheap soup fs made as follows: Place some bones, cooked or uncooked, in a pot with an onion, two carrots and two sliced turnips, two stalks of parsley, a little pepper and salt, and pour in sufficient water to just cover them all. Bring this all just to a boil, then draw the pan to the side of the fire, and let the contents simmer for two to three hours. Now cook and blend one-half an ounce of dripping and three-fourths ounce of flour. Strain the liquor on to this, stirring well. Then put all back on to the fire and simmer for fifteen minutes, and serve. To make an inexpensive vegetable soup slice down half a carrot, half a turnip and one onion and fry them in one-half an ounce of clarified drip- ping for five minutes; then lift them out, make the fat hot again and fry in it one-half an ounce of flour until a brown color. Take the pan from the fire, add one and one-half pints of stock, stirring over the fire until it boils and is smooth, then put in the vegetables, a bunch of herbs and a lit- tle salt,;"and let all simmer until the vegetables are tender. Lift out the bunch of herbs and serve the soup. This is a good onion soup: Peel end cut up rather small three good- | sized onions and cook them in two ounces of dripping in a covered pan for one hour until tender, then mois- | ten with one and,a half pints of hot 'water in which a caulifiower or beans | have been cooked or even plain wa- | ter. Add some slices of bread cut diagonally and season with pepper and salt. Cover the pan again and let the contents simmer for at least | an hour. Crush the onions through a sieve and just before serving gradu- ally add a tablespoonful of grated cheese, stirring rapidly into the soup #0 blend. Beanpot Roast. One and one-half pounds of clear stew meat, cut into two-inch bits. Put nto beanpot and cover. Set in oven two hours and “bake Slowly. add anything but one-half teaspoonful salt.

CARMEL SPEAKER LIKENS PENROSE TO SAVIOR OF MANKIND The following is part of the unpre- judiced report of the Penrose meeting at Mt. Carmel on Safurday afternoon, taken from the Mt. Carmel Item. “Judge Walter, who introduced Pen- rose to the crowd, declared that the senator is one of the worst maligned and most shamefully abused men in history. He likened Penrose to Soc- rates, who had to drink the poisoned cup; to Jesus Christ, who was betray- ed and crucified; and to Abraham Lincoln, the martyred President. Pen- rose was presented in a new light that of the villified public servant, of the martyr, of the supporter of re- ligion and contributor to Foreign Missions. “Penrose himself was visibly affect- ed by the great and glorious tribute paid him by the judge, and ‘was so thoroughly pleased by learning of these new things that Mr. Walter has been added to his corps of stumpers. Thus virtue hath her own reward. “In the.course of his remarks he read a letter from Senator Penrose to Miss Fannie Derr, formerly of Lewis- burg, now a resident of Mount Car- mel, in whiclr the senator inclosed a check for foreign missions. The let- ter which was dated September 29, 1907, read: “ ‘Dear Madam:—I have your letter of the 22nd inst., and take pleasure in inclosing herewith my check as a contribution to foreign missions. I hope the time is not far distant when the Word of God will be preached to | the ends of the earth. Hoping that success may crown your efforts, I am respectfully yours.”” NOTE—And this is the man whom for senator, and for whose defeat the organized churches are working and i praying. There is something wrong somewhere. Semething has happened | to somebody simce that ancient epis- tle was written. Seven years is a | long period—a biblical period, by the way—and drink has accomplished many a man’s undoing in less time | than that. Alas, Poor Penrose. Comparisons were ever odious.

It is interesting to ask who these 253,000 gentlemen were and where they lived, and what they stand for. By reference to the returns, we find that 85,6567 of them lived in the. city of Philadelphia, and that 80 per cent of these Philadelphians live in legis- lative districts that voted solidly against local option in the last legis- lature. Upon further investigation, we find that of the 253,000 voters who instructed for Dr. Brumbaugh, only 34,768, or less than 14 per cent, lived in the counties which voted solidly for local option. If Dr. Brumbaugh got his commission to run for gover- nor of the state from these 253,000 voters, his commission looks mighty soppy. In fact, a comparison of the records shows that it was not dif- ferent from the commission that was handed to one Boies Penrose to run for United States senator. 1S HE A STRADDLER OR DOESN'T HE KNOW? The “Personal Liberty” party is the ticket of the liquor men of this state. Dr. Martin G. Brumbaugh is the | candidate for governor on that ticket. He had it in his power to withdraw as a candidate from that ticket, but he did not do so. ; Besides Dr. Brumbaugh, the “Per sonal Liberty” party has as its can- didates Boies Penrose, the: avowed candidate of the liquor people; Frank { McClain of Lancaster, also an avowed | candidate of the liquor people; John | R. K. Scott of .Philadelphia, also a [liquor candidate, and other men {known widely as liquor candidates. | Some days ago Vance McCormick, Washington-Democratic candidate for | governor, insisted that any man who ran with him on the same ticket should withdraw from the “Personal Liberty” party ticket. VIcCormick stands for local option and against liquor. Brumbaugh had the same chance, bu ferred to stand with Penrose, M and the other liquor candi dat 3Jrumbaugh says he is sin- ‘or local option!

CARMAN JURY DISAGREES She Will Be Released Under Bail and Probably Never Tried Again. Mineola, L. I.—The <Carman trial struggled to an end when the jury, looking haggard and considerably per- turbed after 13 hours and 15 minutes of fruitless wrangling came into the Supreme Court room and reported a disagreement. They had been 16 for acquittal and two for conviction, Mrs. Carman was admitted to $20, 000 bail and released to go home 2a free woman except for the psycholog- ical bondage which will come from the knowledge of a murder indictment hanging over her head. The district attorney says he will never press the case to a retrial unless new evidence comes to light from the general mystery. 12 Reserve Banks to Be Opened. Washington, D. C.—The 12 federal reserve banks of the new banking system will be opened for business on November 16. This was announced officially. Secretary McAdoo, author ized by the currency act to name the opening date, made the announce ment. COTTON NOT CONTRABAND England Will Not Interfere With Ship ments of American Product. Washington, D. C—Sir Edward Grey, British Minister for Foreign Af fairs, has assured the United States through Ambassador Page at London that England will not interfere with American cotton shipments as “contra- band of war.” This was announced at the State Department. Ambassador Page also reported that the British ship Camperdoorn, laden with Ameri can cotton and products detained ai Cornaway, Scotland, was not held be cause of his manifest, but on account of a disagreement between her owners and the charter party. This attitude of the British Govern: ment will permit the safe movement of American cotton to any point, in- cluding Germany, where a market may be found. Red Cross Ship Back Home.
