THE ONE-DISH MEAL. | 'e hear much nowadays, about the so-called one-dish ~ meal, the meal based upon a substantial dish made piof a combination of meat and vege- tables, accompanied by bread and butter, and a green salad with crack- ers and cheese or a simple dessert. Such a meal is easily prepared, is nutritious and appetizing, and as a rule may be put together hours in ad- vance of meal-time. It is interesting to note that though most of the recipes used for such com- bination dishes are the adaptations of Canadian cooks, their origin can gen- ly. be raced to other countries ere the food supply is less abun dant than in our own--to China, Italy, France, Germany and Mexico, It is highly probable that many of these savory "messes" were invented by some frugal housemother who was ingenious and painstaking enough to --3volve a tempting dish for her family out of the adds and ends of food ma- terial on hand--surely a lesson in thrift for Canadian housewives. My family decided that the first of these recipes tastes like a cross be- tween chop suey and chile con carne and have called it: Spandango--Grease an iron skillet with butter or dripping, and in this fry a good-sized, sliced onion. Next add one pound of ground, lean, raw meat and brown it, then add an equal quantity of cooked and drained macar- oni, and brown it, Now put in a little grated cheese, and last of all a can of tomato soup or some fresh or canned tomatoes. Season the whole with salt, paprika, a little sugar and mix thor- oughly. Turn into a casserole and bake about half an hour. I do not give exact quantities for this dish, as in- gredients may be combined according to taste or to materials on hand. How- ever, care should be taken net to use an excess of fat for frying or an over- proportion of cheese, as this will sep- arate and rise to the top and spoil the palatability of the dish. If fresh i | for the soup, more seasoning should be added, including a dash of ground mixed-spice, to take the place of the h seasoning in the soup. The sue- piquant flavor. "Baked hog's head--Skin a hog's head, saw off the snout, saw the head in two, and saw out the jaw-bones in order to remove the teeth and all evi- de of them.

A cup of warm milk and a buttered biscuit would be sufficient. That would carry the child on to the midday meal.

With the present fluctuating ex- change in Germany many tradesmen and professional men refuse to take money, and are asking for accounts to be settled in kind. Even the doctors, most conserva: tive of professional men, have now adopted this system. Here is the tariff of a physician in one German town: J For a consultation during the day: One large loaf. For a consultation at night: Two large loaves. For an X- ray examination: Thirty loaves. A farmer who had broken his leg and called in this doctor was charged two pounds of butter, twenty eggs, and a cabbage.

A crafty light shone through the -slitted lids. "Hold yore hawsses. I ain't said I knew a thing. Not a thing. I was stringin' you." Kirby knew he had overshot the mark.
