HIGH HONOR FOR AMERICAN
Doctor Leuschner Awarded Watson
Medal for His Great Services
to Science.
Dr. Annin Otto Leuschner, director
of the Btudents’ observatory at the
University of California, has been
awarded the highest honor which an
astronomer may hope to gain, the
Wataon medal. The award was made
by the National Academy of Science,
and the medal, it may be said, has
! been conferred on only seven scien
tists. The award is in recognition of
Doctor Leuschner’s years of brilliant
and laborious investigations, and for
his original methods, which have
proved of great value to celestial me
chanics. He attained international
reputation through evolving a new
method for the study of the move
ments of heavenly bodies and in the
determination of their orbits. Doctor
Leuschner is a native of Detroit, a
graduate of the Royal Wilhelms-Gym
na3ium, Cassel, Germany, an A. B. of
%
the University of Michigan, and a
graduate of Lick observatory, Uni
versity of California. He later studied
in Berlin. Since 1907 he has been pro
fessor of astronomy at the university,
where his work has attracted such
world-wide attention. He is a mem
ber of various scientific bodies in this
country and abroad, and has written
many papers on astronomical sub
jects.

MAKING LIVER TASTY
PROPERLY COOKED, MEAT IS DE
LICIOUS, AND CHEAP.
How to Prepare It With Its Tradition
al Accompaniment, Bacon—Ex
cellent When Baked—Two
Kinds of Cravy.
Liver is savory and it is not heavy
two points most decidedly in its favor
at this season.
There are many ways of cooking
liver and for that reason it might very
well make its appearance on our tables
more often than it does simply fried
and served with bacon.
Moreover, there are two good kinds
of liver: Calf’s liver and lamb's liver.
And the lamb’s liver, although much
cheaper than the other kind, is de
licious when properly cooked. So,
when the price of calf's liver is pro
hibitive or when it is not to be had
even for a price, try lamb's liver for a
change.
To begin with, the best way to cook
liver and bacon is to wipe off the
slices of liver with a damp cloth and
then to drop them, with two slices of
lean bacon to every one of liver, into
smoking hot fat in a deep kettle. Let
them brown like crullers, remove
them for a moment to a piece of
brown paper, then put them on a hot
platter (liver and bacon together),
sprinkle with salt and pepper and
serve. If a gravy is desired, spread
a little melted butter sauce, well sea
soned. with the liver.
Another way of preparing liver Is to
brown slices of it in a skillet and, as
soon as they are browned on both
sides, to remove them to a baking pan,
dredging each slice with flour and
sprinkling with salt and pepper. Cover
the pan and bake for three-quarters of
an hour.
To prepare liver with cream gravy,
slice the liver a third of an inch
thick, drop for a second into boiling
water and slash the edges of each
slice a few times to keep them from
curling. Then brown in hot fat in a
skillet. Remove the slices of liver to
a saucepan and cook till yellow r
sliced onion in the fat and then add
it to the liver with enough cream to
cover. Simmer for ten minutes, cov
ered, and then serve, seasoned with j
pepper and salt.
Another way to cook liver with
bacon is to soak the slices for 20 min
utes, then to dry them and roll them
in flour, and then to brown them in
the fat in which slices of bacon have
been cooked crisp. Then pour ofT most
of the fat, add hot water and flour to
the rest and pour over the liver for
gravy.
Baked liver is good. To prepare it
have a pound and a half of liver in
one piece. Wipe it with a damp cloth
and trim it neatly and then put in
some strips of salt pork with a larding
needle across the top. Bake in a hot
oven for half an hour, basting often,
and serve with a brown gravy made in
the baking pan.
Still another method is to add a lit
tle lemon juice to the liver gravy.
This gives it a piquant flavor that is
! decidedly tempting. The lemon is
added to the fat, after most of it is
poured away, and then flour and but
ter rolled together are added, and then
enough water to make gravy of the
right consistency.
Killarney Salt Cod.
Soak one pound of salt cod in water
to cover four or five hours, peel and
slice about one-fourth inch thick eight
or nine potatoes (according to size oi
family). Try out four or five strips of
3alt pork, peel and slice a few onions
and fry in pork fat, but do not brown
Cook potatoes and salt cod separately,
straining the water off the fish twice
3n your onions dredge about two table
spoonfuls of flour, stirring briskly, a
little salt and pepper and the watei
directly off the fish, till of the right
consistency; then add one teaspoon
ful of table sauce and let cook one
minute. In the meantime place your
j potatoes and fish on a platter and
; pour onions and gravy over all. This
| iB very tasty.
Fish au Vinaigre.
Boil shad, mackerel or white fish in
salted water. When cooked, put on
dish, pour over it two cupfuls of vine
gar while the fish is hot. When it is
cold, pour the vinegar into a bowl, add
to it two teaspoonfuls of tomato
catchup, two tablespoonfuls Worces
tershire sauce, and salt and pepper to
taste. Pour all of this upon the fish.
When ready to serve, chop fine two
hard-cooked eggs, one small onion, two
tablespoonfuls each of parsley and
celery, one boiled beet, and spread this
mixture over the fish.
Huevos en Espanol.
Empty a can of tomatoes in a frying
pan. Thicken with bread and add
two or three small green peppers and
an onion sliced fine. The peppers
may be chopped. Add a little buttei
and salt to taste. Let this simmer
gently until the flavors are well mixed
Then break on top the number of eggs
desired. Dip the simmering tomato
mixture over the eggs until they are
cooked. The eggs may be served, re
jecting the sauce. Mexicans strain
the sauce a bit and serve with the
egg on thick toast.
Potted Minced Lamb.
Grind enough cold roast lamb to
fill three cups; cook well six or seven
sticks of macaroni; put one cupful
cold stewed tomatoes in buttered bak
ing dish, add minced lamb and maca
roni, pepper, salt and three table
spoonfuls of gravy. Cover with crumba
and bits of butter and bake.
Lamb Soup.
Cook two pounds lamb in cold water
until tender. Remove meat and re
serve one-half cupful of the broth to
be used in making bechamel Bauce.
Then add an onion, carrots, barley,
thickening and seasoning to taste.
New Use for Parsley.
If when making soups or stews yon
find the flavor of some one vegetable
too strong, you can neutralize it by
adding a sprig or two of parsley.

Jobless Turn to Gold Mining.

contain much gold dust of the very

sity to provide as much available
work for men whom war conditions
1 might throw out of employment, the

Pure Food Expert
Investigates Grape-Nuts
Before Grape-Nuts was included in the Pure Food Directory of the New York
Globe, the publishers sent their expert, Alfred W. McCarn, to get the facts about this
famous cereal food—what it is made of, how it is made, and whether or not too much
had been claimed for it.
The makers have always held that Grape-Nuts is a body and brain building
food; that it contains the vital mineral elements lacking in white flour, and foods made
from white flour; that it digests more readily than any other prepared cereal food, etc
McCann came to Battle Creek at the Globe’s expense. He investigated—had
the run of the factory—up-stairs, down-stairs and all over the place.
In the N. Y. Globe of April I, 1915, he said:
“Any man who can go to Battle Creek and come away
with the statement that he is not amazed is given to the habit
of bearing false witness against his neighbor.
“I watched the delivery of the wheat to the Grape-Nuts
bakery. It was selected wheat too. I watched the mills
grind this wheat, and there was no patent flour stunt pulled
off in grinding it, either. The wheat went right through the
rolls and came out as honest and as unrefined as when it went
in. I saw this wheat mixed with barley malt in a mixing room
that is a model of cleanliness.
“Grape-Nuts is an honest, genuine, wholesome, good, fool
proof breakfast food.
“Grape-Nuts is all Post ever claimed for it. Instead of
over-estimating the truth he didn’t tell ten percent of it”
There you have it! If you want to know more, write Alfred W. McCann, care
N. Y. Globe, N. Y., or come to Battle Creek and see for yourself. There’s no mystery
about Grape-Nuts.
This wonderful food DOES build body, brain and nerve tissue. It DOES
furnish the vital mineral phosphates usually lacking in the daily dietary. It is easily
digestible, economical, and comes ready to eat, fresh and delicious.
