I wish that 1 could marshall all the young to an appreciation of the fact that you have an earnest work in life and your amusements and recreations are only to help you along in that work.—Talmage Since George Washington's day is coming, here is a recipe in its original form for Martha Wash ington's Apple Tarts. It seemed quite interesting, especially in its original form. "First coddle (boil or stew) ye apples in faire water, yn take halfe the weight in sugar to make as much syrrope as will cover ye bottom of yr preserving pan, and ye rest of ye sugar keepe to throw on them as they boyle, which must be very softly, and you must turne them often lest they burne, too. Then put them in a thin tart crust, and give them halfe an hour's baking (for, if your please, you may serve them up in a handsome dish onely garnished with sugar and cinnamon).” DO YOU KNOW when the term "cowboy” was first used? It is said that it was during the first Amer ican Revolution. This term “cow boy” referred to a group of Tories j who stole cattle from both sides. Rice is a product when fixed for a food can become quite dull. There are many variations which you may use, such as: Taking the cooked rice and add i ing 34 cup of grated Cheddar cheese. This is tasty with scallop ! ed or stewed tomatoes, bacon or sausages. Then for added texture to rice j one may add Va cup of chopped I almonds or stuffed olives in hot j rice. This will go good with gou lash. tomato rarebit, or creamed meat dishes. As a variation with ham or veal dishes a Vz cup of crushed drain j ed pineapple may be added to the 1 prepared rice. For a sweet tasty dish when serving fried or broiled chicken, mix Vz cup coconut to the hot rice.
