One Harvard area man is seeking $50 for injuries suffered when he fell In the business district while a Chicagoan is seeking $128.90 for damage done to his ear by a man-hole cover. Helmut L. Woithon of Chicago asks $128.90, charging "negligence of employes in replacing the manhole cover," according to a letter from his attorney, William M. Carroll, Jr., of Woodstock. far Caws Improper stabling and lack of good bedding are the most common causes of teat injuries in cows. Stalls should be wide enough and long enough for the cow to recline and get up without bruising or otherwise injuring the teats and udder. Similarly, bedding should cover the stall floor completely so as to give the udder a thick, protective cushion. A generous supply of good bedding, such as straw or other material, also helps to protect the udder against chilling. A wealth of tradition is oovefeK by .the crust of the Yuletlde mincemeat pie. Although few peopTfe today know It, the pie represents the cradle of the Christ Child surrounded by the gifts of the Magi. It Wfcs made originally in oval form, to sym bolize the cradle, and the varied ingredients were the gifts. At one time mince-meat pie was banned, and at still another time in its history, It was the cause of Christmas itself being abolished for a brief period.. FOr many yea's in England during the time of^ Oliver Cromwell, the custom of feasting and drinking at Christmas was regarded as worldy and sensual, and the more strict Puritans refused to eat mince-meat pie during the holiday season. This prejudice was finally overcome1 after the Restoration. In the New Wcrld, during the first half century after the Pilgrims' arrival at Plymouth, similar troubles caused the banning of mince-meat pies and Christmas. In 1659, and for several years thereafter, there was no Christmas in New England as a result of an argument over the shape and meaning of mince-meat pies. Eventually the indignation spent itself, and the ban was lifetd. A pie which no other can approach in the intricacies of its creation. minc»-meat pies originally were made almost entirely of meat seasoned with spices. Fruit, chiefly currants, was added, and probably because the dish was regarded as a sweet, the fruit content was gradually increased until mince-meat becamy a mixture of fruit and spices, with or without the addition of moat. The whole world has a part in the making of a mince-maat pie, according to the American Bakers association. There are lemons, citrons and oranges from Florida -and California; apples from a half a dozen states; currants from Greece; raisins from the Pacific Coast; sugar and syrups from Louisiana and Cuba; suet from the Middle West; spices from far-away Ceylon; aftd , Gtfcw ingredients from far and Mr. By and large, mines fawtt JMes Irhve not changed noticeably mice those early dlya when KaW.ttnglands cooks began preparations for making the mince-meat weeks in advance of the actual pie baking. The greatest difference occurs not in the ingredients, but in the preparation. The American housewife now depends on the baker to perform all the labor of preparation. The American Bakers association says that American baiters use tons of the same Jiigh quality ingredients as are used in the home in taking care of the demand for it traditional part of the Christmas dinner. . • v • History, tradition, land its own merits have made mince-meat pie one of the most Interesting of all food products--rightfully occupying its place of honor at the Yuletide feast. As Samuel Pepys stated in his famous diary about his i662 Christmas dinner: "We had, besides a good chine of beef and other good cheer, eighteen mince-meat plat." .
