SOUPS EASY TO MAKE
PALATAELE AND ECONOMICAL
ADDITIONS TO THE MENU.
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

MT. 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.
Saloonkeepers’ Candidate.
With Dr. Brumbaugh and every sa-
loonkeeper pulling for Penrose, is it
any wonder that the Senator has as-
sumed the characteristics of a Jekyll
| and Hyde, principally Hyde?—Johns-

BRUMBAUGH'S VOTE
CAME MOSTLY FROM
CITY LIQUOR WARDS
Dr. Brumbaugh, Republican candi-
date for governor. in his effort to
keep the people from believing that
he was personally selected by Pen-
rose, McNichol and the Vares, is tell-
ing the people of the state that he
received his commission to run for
governor from the 253,000 voters who
instructed for him at the spring pri-
mary. 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,

CARMAN JURY DISAGREES

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

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.
