yolk. When smooth stir In one cupiu
of milk and pradnally two cupfuis o
sifted flour, with two teaspooufuis o
baking powder. Flavor with vimUUi

of prated chocolate, two tablespoon I
fills of confectioner's sugar and out j
tablcspoonful of hot wnter unti
smooth, then add one more tablespoon i
ful of hot water and stir into tin-
sugar and beaten egg. Nuts may be i
added, whole or chopped. I
Veal Croquettes.
Mince fine one cupful of cold veal,
add a half cupful of cooked sweet
breads, also cold anil minced, one cup
ful of cooked rice, a few drops o'
onic i juice and minced parsley, eelerj
or thyme to season. Moisten with a
little oal stock and heat over the tire
Add salt and pepper and beaten epu
yolk. Cook for one or two minutes nnd
turn out nil a dish to cool. When Urn
nnd cold form into croquettes, esg
shape, roll in bread crumbs, then in
beaten egp. to which n tablespoonr.i1
of milk has been added, again In the
crumbs and fry in hot fat until a rich
brown. Minced chicken may be sub
stltuted for the veal and sweetbreads
New Scrambled Eggs.
The member of your family who
scorns scrambled eggs may enjoy them
in a new, glorified form. Cut th!t
slices of ham In strips like matches
Mince an onion. Fry both in butter
seasoned with salt and pepper, and
when nearly done add three or four
slices of mushrooms. Make n circle
of the ham and onions nnd place Un
scrambled eggs in the center, garnish
ing with parsley.
Another variation is to sprenu rounu (
croutons with n layer of sweet red
pepper cooked, then the scrambled I
eggs, then a sprlngling of trollies. All
scrambled eggs must be served at once j
and must not be tough.
Banana Croquettes.
Feel six bananas, cut n slice from
each cud. then cut Into crosswise sec
tions. Dredge well with powdered
sugar and marinate one hour in tlie
Juice of two oranges, turning tlie sec-
iinm nvir now nnd then. Roll in beat
en egg. then in grated crumbs, nnd fry !
in deep hot fnt. For the sauce, strain
the sirup after the bananas have been
taken out. bring Just to boiling point,
then thicken with one tablespoonful
cornstarch stirred smooth in a little
cold water. Cook until clenr. take from

orange extract.
Pot Roast.
Use nny kind of meat. Put into nn
iron pot a tablespoonful of meat fry
ings or butter; let It brown: wash off
the roast and put into tlie pot. After It
begins to fry, pour ln enough water to
half cover the meat; season with pep
per and salt; cover and stew slowly.
As the meat begins to fry. add morr
water; turn It often, nnd cook about
three hours. A half hour before serv
ing add either Irish or sweet potatoes
or turnips; allow to brown with meat
If turnips nre added prepare browned
sweet potatoes separately.
Dried Fruit.
Dried fruit tnstes just as good when
stewed In the oven, nnd this method
has Its ndvantages-the fruit will not
dry and burn. It will remnlu whole and
may be cooked while roasting or bak
ing. Wash the fruit, pour boiling water
over It and let It stand In a covered
dish until ready to put in tlie oven
Then add the sugnr. cover lightly and
let the heat of the oven do the cooking.
Prunes are always delicious when
stewed in this way.
A Delicious Rabbit.
A treasured rule for Welsh rabbit in
a girl's recipe book calls for a quarter
of a cupful of milk, three ounces of
Cheddar cheese cut Into small dice, nn
egg. a tablespoonful of butter, salt, a
little niustaid mid u shake or two of
paprika. Briug the milk to a boil, put
In Hie cheese nnd stir until It Is melted
Then mid the egg aud seasonings, stir
until the mixture is creamy and turn
over toasted bread or crackers.
A Rnndwieh Noveltv.
White bread sandwiches sprinkled
with sugar are 11 delight In one house
hold where everylnuly has 0 sweet
tooth. It may be that the fashionable
"nervous stomach" has been cultivated
as much by the goodies In the way ot
cakes and bonbons served at dally teas
ns anything else. Sweet sandwiches
are twice its healthy and to most per
sons ure 11 welcome relief from the uni
versal American enke habit.
Southern Johnnycake.
For southern Johnnycake muke a bat
ter of half a cupful of sugar, an egg.
four tablesioonfuls of drippings or but
ter, a level teaspoonful of soda dis
solved in a cupful of sour milk, n cup

Put a large tablespoonful of lard Into
an Iron frying pun. and when It Is very

Gentlemen I wish to say a good word in refer
ence to Valspar. I have used this varnish in October,
1907, on extreme outside work where it was not
protected from anything. This month we went back
to same job and gave it one coat, finding this was
all that was required as there was plenty of body still
left, onlj dead here and there.
I have tried all kinds of outside varnish here
before, but must say this is the best c f oil.
I know there cannot be too much saU about such
an article, and I also know there are plenty of n..ii
looking for such varnish, but don't know where to fu.d
it. I shall never buy another as long rs it remci s
what it is and hope many more will f.nd out the good
results it gives. I remain yours very truly,
