Cabbage Salad.â€" Take half a head of cabbage, shred very fine, and plunge into cold water until crisp. Drain well and put in a bowl. Make a good salad dressing of half a cup- ful of cream. Add a tablespoOnful of suga.- and one teaspoonful of salt. If you like a sour flavor, put in a tea- spoonful of vinegar. Rice Croquettes with Cheese Sauce. â€" Boil a cupful of rice in two and a half cupfuls of milk. If not tender, add more milk. Season with two tabU'spoonfuls of butter, a pinch of salt, a dash of paprika, and mix with two beaten egg yolks, and chill. When cold and stiffened mold into cones, balls or cylinder forms. Dip in crumbs, then in egg whites and in crumbs again. Cook the sauce well before adding the cheese. Serve as soon as it is mrlted. Carrots. â€" Peel and cut in rounds, in cubes or long strips. Cook in boil- ing salted water until tender. Serve with cream sauce or toss the carrots In the following mixture: For two cupfuls of the cut carrots take one tablespoonful of sugar, lemon juice, a little salt and pepper. Pour into a saucepan and shake till the mixture is absorb(Ml. Carrots and peas served together are appetizing. Browned Chicken in Cream Gravy. â€" This is an excellent way to cook an old fowl. Clean and disjoint a two-year-old hen, and put to cook in a kettle containing at first only one pint of boiling water. Let simmer at least three hours over the low burner or on the back of the range, watch- ing rather closely. As the water boils away, add more, but only enough to keep the chicken from browning. When half done season with one tea- spoonful of salt and one-fourth tea- spoonful of pepper. Half an hour be- fore dinner bring to greater heat and brown on all sides, sprinkling with flour lightly as it browns. Just be- fore serving add one teacupful of cream and let boil up one*.

If peas are a trifle old, try boiling them with a lettuce leaf and a table- spoonful of sugar in the water. Summer bed spreads should be made of material that is easily wash- ed. There is nothing prettier than the inexpensive dimity. Tin is an undesirable material for a coffee pot. Tannic acid acts on such metal and is apt to form a poi- sonous compound. To iron raised lace, place it be- tween blankets. Or do not iron it at all. If not ironed it should be stretched, while wet, with a pin at each point. A very satisfactory way to mend shirts that are worn around the col- lar band is to sew a narrow yoke to fit the neck and to come just below the worn place. If the fire is running low and a quick oven is needed, try opening the oven door, filling it with cool fresh air. Then close the oven door, and it will heat much more quickly. To remove water spots from a dress dampen it in lukewarm water. Place a piece of cloth over water spots on right side and press until both pieces of material are dry. When making baked or boiled cus- tard, the milk to be used should be scalded and set aside to cool. Then Italians Use Bulls to Charge Defences. During the attack on the fortifications of Monte Corada, the Italians employed savage bulls, which were riished against the barbed wire with their horns lowered. This novel method of attick wai completely suc- cessful, and the infantry, following up, carried the fort which was being attacked. The garrison, after a short resistance, threw down their arms. &ILLETTS EA^S LYE O'ilt CLEANS-biSiMFECTS From the Ocean Shore BITS OF NEWS FROM THE MARITI.ME PROVINCES.

"Probably the most important of the unusual sanitary conditions will prove to have developed through the character of the wounds.

An even brown color is obtained as the grease trickles into the plate be- low. This method prevents any spat- tering of the stove. The bacon is evenly cooked and the grease is per- fectly clear for frying eggs. "This method is a great advantage when one uses oil or gasoline, especially as the cooking of the bacon can be com- bined with the baking of muffins or other things. Zinc is often the hardest thing in the house to clean, especially under kitchen stoves, where it becomes bad- ly discolored. One of the simplest and surest methods is to dry thor- oughly the zinc and then go over it with kerosene oil, which must be al- lowed to stand over night. In the morning this should be wiped with a soft cloth, and more kerosene applied. The oil cats out all the grease and dirt which adheres to the zinc and makes it white and spotless. Zinc- lined sinks or bathtubs can be treat- ed the same way, but must be thor- oughly dried afterward. HEALTH LESSONS FROM THE WAR WHAT SURGEON-GENERAL U. S. ARMY SAYS. OF Development of Preventive Methods and of Surgery are Most Important Results. Here is what General William C. Gorgas, Surgeon General of the Unit- ed States Army, has to say about the sanitary aspects of the Europeon war. It is the first statement he has made. General Gorgas is best known as the man who made the construction of the Panama Canal a healthful job for the American workers, whereas it had been a deathful job for the French workers who previously at- tempted it. In the minds of many it is re- garded as a probability that without his genius as a sanitary expert the canal never could have been built. He had actual battlefield experi- ence in the .Spanish War, and he literally worked magic in Havana, changing it from a yellow fever plague spot to one of the healthiest of tropical cities. His observations on the sanitary aspects of the European war cannot fail to be of great interest and great value. "Undoubtedly great sanitary les- these wounded often lie without at- tention for an unsually long time upon the field where they have fallen. "Thus, forced to remain unsuccored upon the ground for hours, and sometimes, even for days, every con- dition favorable to wound infection is created, and a situation which very nearly approaches that of the old days before the development of aseptic surgery results. New Diseases Unlikely. "A great change has been worked in ambulance service by the general introduction of automobiles, and doubtless many lives are being saved through the speed with which the mo- V)r ambulances can work, which is much greater than that at ^^^ich horse or mule equipage can be oper- ated. "We scarcely can expect the pre- sent war to develop much new knowl- edge with relation to disease. Fought in temperate or cold climates, it of- fers few or no new disease problems; but it will go far toward demon- strating the practical efficiency or in- efficiency of several comparatively re- cent medical discoveries. "Among these undoubtedly will be typhoid vaccination. The application of this preventive method to millions of men â€" and literally millions have been vaccinated in the various arm- ies â€" undoubtedly will prove it and perfect it. But in this war the surgical side is infinitely more important than the medical side. As I have said, con- ditions in this war, for one reason or another, have returned to something very closely akin to those existing during our civil war. "Before the development of asepsis almost all the gunshot wounds of war became infected, although this fact was not understood. Even as late as 1880, when I was getting my me- dical education, we considered what was really the effect of wound in- f action to be one of the natural stages of the healing process. "But there came Pasteur's discov- ery of micro-organisms, and this was followed by Lister's development of methods by means of which to pre- vent the entrance of these micro- organisms into wounds. Thu.s it was demonstrated that wounds healing properly show neither suppuration nor inflammation. Treating Typhus. "Just how effective inoculation for tetanus will prove to be we cannot, of course, know until after the war ends and the final records are check- ed up, but I have no doubt that we shall then find that it has don« much to reduce war's horrors. "Typhus is looming up very threat- eningly in the eastern theatre of war, particularly in Serbia and Austria, and ere long may appear in the west- ern armies. "Much has been learned of this dis- ease in recent years. For this new sons will be learned through the ex periences of the medical officers of j knowledge the world is indebted prin- tho warring powers in Europe." Sur- , cipally to two American investigators, has not yet been given a severe mili- tary test under war conditions . "It has been less absolute in its ef- ficacy than anti-typhoid inoculation and anti-smallpox vaccination have been in theirs, but it has been de- monstrated to be a very useful addi- tion to mankind's armory of weapons against disease. "The mere fact that such a treat- ment has been developed simplifies the great human problem of this cam- paign, for in conditions which would have been normal to such a war be- fore the discovery of this inoculation, cholera would have constituted one of the most terrible threats."
