THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE NORTH PLATTE, NEBRASKA. Wo nro spirits clad In volls, M.in by mnn wns nover 3cn: All our deep communing fulls To removo tlio shadowy screen. SOME CHERISHED RECIPES. Wo arc apt to forget tho composition and preparation of many of the deli cious old dishes of our grandmothers, so It Is wise to use them occasionally so they may not bo entirely forgot ten. Rlvcl Soup Put a quart of milk on to scald. Heat an egg until light, pour, drop by drop, Into two tnble spoonfuls of flour, well mixed with one teaspoonful of chopped nuts and a teaspoonful of salt. Stir with a fork, and when well mixed roll tho rlvels with tho hands. Drop tho rlvcls into tho milk, and when boiled servo at once. Apple Bread. Mix together a cupful of cooked dried apple, ono cupful of raisins, ono cupful each of sugar and walnuts, ono teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful of cloves and a half teaspoonful of allspico Into a pint of bread sponge. Mix and knead as for bread and let stand until light. Bako In a slow oven for two hours. This will keop for weeks If well wrapped In oiled paper and kept from tho air. Dutch Cabbage. Chop a small cab bago with ono small onion and when lino, pour over tho fat from a small fillco of fat salt pork which has been cut in cubes and browned. Add the pork, and Into tho frying pan pour sufficient vinegar to moisten, but not make tho cabbago wot. Add season ings of salt and red pepper. Pour over tho vinegar boiling hot and sorvo at onco. This Is a dish that you will not bo allowed to forget, for every body asks for It again and again. Tho secret of tho palatablllty of this salad, as is true of all salads, is tho season ings. Tasto it often to get the right proportion of salt, pepper and vine gar. If tho vinegar is very acid and you need qulto a little moisture, di lute tho vinegar with water. Steak With Olives. Broil tho streak until properly cooked, season well with salt, butter and pepper and placo in the oven to keep hot. Put a table spoonful of butter in a sauce pan and when bubbling hot add a half cupful of finely-chopped olives: when hot pour over the steak. Serve with baked potatoes. MORE GOOD DISHES. A nice change from the everyday dishes will be found in tho following: Calves' Liver Vermi celli. Put flvo slices of bacon in a frying pan, cut in small pieces and fry until crisp; add a small onion chopped; cook until brown; add a tablespoonful of flour and a fourth of a pound of chopped liver; stir and cook, then add threo-fourths of a cupful of strained tomato, and cook until thick. Add a half teaspoonful of kitchen bou quet and a teaspoonful of Worcester shiro sauce, salt and pepper and a cupful and a half of cooked vermicelli Heat and serve hot. Corn on the Cob. Corn is not al ways cooked properly. It is either over or under cooked. Corn husks should not be removed until just bo- foro cooking. Some cooks prefer to removo all the silk and leave tho ten der Inner husks, tying them at the top of tho oar, then removo them when the corn Is cooked. Corn should bo Pcookcd until tho milk Is thickened. A teaspoonful of sugar may be added to improve tho flavor, but do not add salt until the corn is cooked. Drop the ears Into a kettlo with plenty of boiling- water and cook for fifteen to twenty minutes. Cornmeal Pancakes. Tako two cup fuls of flour, ono-half cupful of corn' meal, one tablespoonful of baking powder, one and a half teaspoonfuls of salt, one and a half cupfuls of boll Ing water, one and a quarter cupfuls of milk, one egg. Add tho meal to tho boiling water and boll five minutes. then turn Into a bowl, add milk and tho dry Ingredients, mixed and sifted, then tho eggs well beaten, ouo-thlrd of a cupful of sugar and two tablespoon fuls of melted butter. Cook on a well greased griddle. Currant Mint Sauce. Two table spoonuls of finely chopped mint, a glass of currant Jelly, cut in pieces, and tho grated rind of a third of an orange. Serve with lamb or mutton. Cornmeal musii" mixed wltli any chopped moat, molded, then when cold cut In slices to fry in a hot greased pan, makes a nice breakfast dish Steel Railroad Ties. Short cuts by walking tho tracks will no longo.' save time, when tho railroads have replaced tho old wood en ties by thoso made of steel. Tho sharp edges of Its pigcon-holo con struction will mako very uncomfort able walking. In Oklahoma, whero they have been UB"d for somo time, it is declared that they cost much less than thu ooden ties, and that they havo also been vory valuable in keep titK trespassers and cattle off tho iraeks. Tho American Boy. CORNMEAL DISHES. Tho old-fashioned Johnny cako la such a favorite that It never goes to waste when nicely pre pared and well baked. Tako a cupful of yellow cornmcal, a half cupful of flour, a cupful of sour milk, two eggs, a half cupful of sweet milk, two tablcspoonfuls each of shortening and BUgar, a half teaspoonful of soda and salt. Mix all together and bako In a good sized dripping pan so that tho cako will bo thin when done and thoroughly baked. Another very similar ono Is sour milk corn bread. Tako two cupfuls of cornmeal, two cupfuls of sour milk, two eggs, ono teaspoonful of soda, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, ono table spoonful of butter and ono and a half teaspoonfuls of salt. Cook all tho In gredients, oxcopt t,ho eggs and soda, In a double boiler for ten minutes. Allow tho mlxturo to cool, add tho well-beaten eggs and tho soda dis solved In a tablespoonful of cold wa ter. Cornmeal Crisp. Tako a cupful of sour milk, a cupful of cornmcal, a half teaspoonful of salt and soda. Mix well and pour Into a hot frying pan, well greased with fat; set in the oven' to bako. Split and spread with but ter when sorvlng. Steamed Corn Bread. Sift a cupful of flour with ono and a half teaspoon fuls of soda and ono teaspoonful of salt; stir in a cupful of cornmeal, add a half cupful of molasses and two and a quarter cupfuls of sour milk. Mix thoroughly and put Into a well-buttered pall or mold. Fill two-thirds full, cover and steam for five hours. Cornmeal Mush. Into a quart of salted boiling water add a cupful or moro of cornmeal, gradually; do not make It too thick, as It needs long cooking to make It wholesome. Stir and cook for a half hour or longer If a larger portion Is used. Pour out Into a dish to cool. To servo, cut In slices and fry In hot fat. Serve It fresh and hot with good, rich milk and you will have a flno supper dish. Tho New England people like a llttlo dried codfish served to eat with tho mush. This will supply salt, so that the mush need not bo oversalted. WHAT SHALL WE HAVE TO EAT? On baking day when It 1b hard to think of an easy dessert try these dumplings: Add enough shortening to bread dough to mako a rich bis cuit; mold as for biscuits, and let stand until light. Have ready some sweet or dried ap ples with an abundance of Juice. When tho dumplings are light, dot with butter and pour tho hot fruit Juice over them. The more Juice tho more delicious will bo tho dumplings. Sprinkle with sugar, dust with cinna mon and bake a half hour In a hot oven. Combination Salad. Take any kind of cold meat you happen to havo loft over, or different kinds will do. Grind, tho meat, then add ono largo, mellow apple, chopped flno; one-half cupful of chopped celery, three hard-cooked eggs, minced; ono chopped onion, one half teaspoonful of salt, and a fow dashes of red pepper. Mix all together and add any salad dressing. Blgos. Take any chopped meat of left-over fowl, beef or pork, add to sauerkraut with water and boll for three hours. This may bo served re heated and will be good as long as It lasts. Oatmeal Sausage. Tako stock in which meat has been cooked and when boiling hot thicken with oatmeal; season well with salt, and when near ly done add some chopped cooked meat. Pour out Into a dish and when cold slice and fry. Good for a break fast or luncheon dish. Mock Chicken. Put Into a doublo boiler ono cupful of milk; add salt and popper and a few grains of curry.

Pour over three-quarters of a cupful of milk; season well and bako brown. New Coast Defense Gun. A now American coast defense mm Is reported to bo capable of throwing us sneii over ai miles, when tho gun Is ut 45 degrees elevation. Thonch this Is mere speculation, for tho car riage ror that elevation has never been built. Tho only high-grade heavy gunB owned uy tlio unted States aro tho coast defenso mortars, of which ti, latest 12-inch weapon has an extreme range or iu.ouu yards, or Just under 11 miles. Leslie's Weekly. Value of Memorizing Scripture Dr REV. HOWARD V. POPE SutwrialtnJcot ol Mem, Moody Dible loitituts of Chicago TEXT This book of tho law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou slmlt medltdto therein day and night. Josh. l'.S. Ono of tho best habits ono can ac quiio is that of committing to memory choice verses of Scripture. Some peoplo commit en tire books of the Bible, but'- I re gard that as an unreasonable tax upon tho memory. Of courso ono could easily learn tho first psalm, and tho twenty third, and tho ono hundredth and tho ono hundred and twcnty-flrM. Also tho com mandments and tho beatitudes. Beyond that I should advise tho mark ing and memorizing of cholco verses as wo meet them In our dally reading. Suppose a farmer wero to set out n dozen cholco fruit trees each year. In a fow years his farm would bo well stocked with a great variety of fruit, and each treo would bear fruit as long ns hp lived. Each treo has its own in dividuality and value, and In course of tlmo each ono" would come to seem like an old friend. Somo yield sweet apples and others sour. Somo aro oarly and others late. Suppose a person should commit to memory ono verso of Scripture each week. That would not be a very hard task, but how great would bo tho re sult as tho years went on. Each verso is like a fruit treo which bears some kind of choice fruit to enrich his mind and ennoble his character and increase his usefulness. And theso yield fruit not simply onco a year, or even onco a mouth, like the trees In Celestial City (Rev. 22:2), but every day in tho year, and nil the yearB of his life. Take such a ver3e as John 14:27, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I glvo unto you. Let not your heart bo troubled, neither let it be afraid. How many times, think you, would a Christian feed his soul on that verse in a lifetlmo? The same la true ot Matt 11:28 and Romans 8:28 and I John 3:1 and Jude 24. If one continued this habit a few years his mind would become a mag nlflcent orchard, yielding fruit in such abundance and variety as to supply not only the owner himself, but all his neighbors and friends. If a man had no other assets than a mind well stored with Scripture, ho would be a rich man. But ho would havo other assets, because it Is declared of thoso who delight In the law of the Lord, that they shall be "like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brlngeth forth his fruit in his season. His leaf also shall not wither, and whatsoever he dooth shall prosper." Psalm 1:3 Consider also tho effect of this habit in creating a relish for that which is pure and wholesome in literature, and a distaste for that which Is vulgar. No one whose mind Is stored with tho subljmo sentiments of tho Bible will care for trashy and sensational read ing. Not only will It affect his mind but his character. He will naturally lovo righteousness and hate iniquity. He will havo high Ideals becauso he Is fa miliar with such men as Enoch and Daniel and Abraham. In tlmo of temp tatlon tho Holy Spirit will recall to his mind some suitable verse, as he did for our Savior when tempted by the adversary. When perplexed as to his duty some passage of Scripture will flash upon him and make the path of duty as clear as daylight. Besides, if he is on tho alert, ho will find many" opportunities to help othors. He can correct false Impres slons, answer excuses and objections and often lead sinners to begin the Christian life. In somo families tho custom pre vails of each member repeating verso of Scrlpturo at family worship In one family each child has a prom iso each day, and Sunday mornings they repeat all tho promlsea they have learned during the week, verso from each member ot the family at tho breakfast table, with tho Lord's prayer In concert makes a very gooi form of family worship whore some havo to hurry away to business Imme dlately after breakfast. As a help to thoso who wish to know God's Word bettor tho writer has arranged a leaflet containing ono hundred cholco verses, selected from tho whole Bible, They cover a wide range of topics and aro particularly rich In verBes adapted to tho use oi personal workers. They are arranged in tho order in which they come In tho Bible, with chapter and verse given. Tho whole verso Is not given but only enough to recall It when once It lias been leurned. Anyone who mas ters theso hundrod verses will be well equipped for any emergency which may arise. A verso a day for three months would accomplish the task. Tho writer ha3 none to Bell, but he will gladly glvo a copy to any who will send blm his address on a stamped envelope. HOW TO HEAL STUBBORN TORMENTING SKIN DISEASES A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but rcllublo and inexpensive, homo treatment for peoplo suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and Imllar itching, burning skin troubles. At any rollablo drugglst'B got a Jar of rcslnol ointment and a cako ot reel- nol soap. Theso will not cost a bit moro than sovonty-flvo cents. With tho rcslnol soap nnd warm water batho tho affected parts thoroughly, until they nro frco from crusts nnd tho skin Is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layor of tho rcslnol oint ment, nnd cover with a light bandage If necosBary to protect tho clothing. This should bo dono twico a day. ubu- ally tho distressing itching and burn ing stop with tho first treatment, nnd the skin soon becomes cloar nnd healthy again. Adv. Something Like Foundries.
