horny skins. Asparagus, cooked in any

tha stalks be thus freed from the outer
casing. Boil In hot salted water until ten
der. Drain oft the water and chop the
asparagus not so fine as to make It mushy.
Make In a sauctpan a "roux" of two table
spoonfuls of butter and the same of flour,
and add to It when It has cooked for a
minute, two cupfuls of milk, heated, with
a bit of aoda dropped Into It. Stir over
the fire to a cream; add the minced aspara-
I gue when you have seasoned It with salt
and pepper, and set It aside to get cold.
Then beat into It three eggs whipped light
and two tablenpoonfuls of cream. Pour
Into a well buttered dish and bake In a
quick oven. Cover with paper for twenty
minutes. Remove the paper and brown.
Serve at once.
Asparagus a la Vinaigrette The salad
whose popular name stands at the head of
this recipe makes a delicious entree In the
course of a Lenten dinner where fish has
played the leading part. Cut off the thick
est and toughest portions of the stalks.
Put them away carefully, with an eye to a
vegetable soup to be served at the family
dinner next day..
Lay the edible tips attached to the upper
parts of the stalk in cold water for an
hou' - them ,nt IooM bunches with
soft strings. Put these Into a broad cauce
pan where they will not be crowded; cover
with cold water, slightly salted, and cook
gently for twenty-five minutes for a
shorter time If they are very young and
slender. Make a dressing of two table
spoonfuls of vinegar, two teaspoonfuls of
French mustard, half a teaspoonful of
sugar, a saltspoonful of salt and half as
much white pepper. Rub all the,se condi
ments together In a bowl until you have a
mooth emulsion. Then begin to heat in

Ice until you are ready to serve It. Pass
crackers and cream cheese with it.
Boiled Spinach (American Style Prepare
the spinach as already directed. Put over
the fire In the Inner vessel of a rice boiler,
'with no water, except that on the leaves.
Cover closely; fill the outer boiler with hot
water and cook the leaves tender. Drain
off the water and chop fine In a wooden
bowl Put back over the fire and stir into
It two tablespoonfuls of butter with a little
sugar, and pepper and salt to your taste.
Mount on a hot platter and garnish with
hard-boiled eggs cut In slices. A prettier
garnish is the yolks of hard-boiled eggs
rubbed to a fine powder through a sieve
and strewed thickly over the mound. Bhred
the whites fine and lay about the base.
A Spinach Souffle This Is a nice way of
using left-over spinach. If It was creamed
at Its first appearance on your board. It

Add to It the beaten yolks of two eggs
If there Is a cupful of spinach. Increasing
the. .number vl yolks proportionately If
you have more of the "left-ovor;" a table

other Ingredients, and, this done, whip In
the whites of the eggs beaten to a standing

at once Into a brick oven. Bake to a light

Boiled Italian Artichokes Cut the stems
close to the body of each "flower" and lay
all In cold water. Leavo them there for
half on hour, watching to see If any
drowned Insects rise to the surface and re

for another half hour, drain and, with a
sharp knife, cut each neatly in half from

Mrs. Provldeua Notes This on Her
Itooad of the Grocer Shops sii
Bora Another anal Cheaper
Bnnday Dinner.
While--we ara waiting for the pure food
law to be passed by the legislature of Ne
braskaand Just now the druggist and
patent medicine manufacturers are exer
cising their minds and muscles fighting it-
it will be well for the food provider to
study up the national law a little. Thla
section, for Instance: "An article shall be
deemed to be misbranded if it be labeled
or branded so as to deceive or mislead the
purchaser, or purport to be a foreign prod-
duct when not so, or If in package form
and tho contents are stated in weight or
nieaauie, they are not plainly and correctly
stated on the outside of the package, or
if the package containing it or Its label
shall bear any statement, design or device
regarding the ingredients or the substances
Contained therein which shall be false or
misleading In any particular."
That sums up some of the various ways
we food providers have been deceived and
made to buy adulterated goods, and although
it Is not quite so necessary to study the
labels to detect adulteration aa It waa be-
fore the law passed. It Is a novel form of I
literature and in ita present form an edu
cator to the food provider.
Label as an Indicator.
For Inatance, Mra. Providem waa buying
some canned peas for her basket the other
day, and ber grocer, replying In the nega
tive to her inquiry If ha kept a certain
brand, offered another and stated that
he would give her the "extra sifted," show
ing her two cans, one narked "sifted"
and one "extra sifted,' and said hs sold
them for the same price, although paying
little more for the extras, and perhaps
reserving tbem for bis best customers.
So the food provider carefully reading her
labels would get a finer grade of peas by
observing that one extra word.
And this section about confectionery has
interest: "It shall be deemed to be adul
terated If it contains terra alba, barytea,
talc, chrome yellow or other mineral sub
stance or poisonous color or flavor or other
Ingredient deleterious to health, or any
vinous, malt or splrltous liquor or com
pound or narcotic drug." Terra alba,
baryles, talc! chrome yellow! In the candy
our children eat! There's a pretty box of
candy sold In our market now labeled
"perfect augar attck candy, guaranteed to
contain only the finest grade of confec
tioner's 'A' augar, best fruit flavors and
vegetable color. This candy does not con
tain glucose or any adulteration whatso
ever. "
This confectioner Is a reliable man and
tha -label on ths box is doubtless true, but
If It were not there would be no recourse
against him, for this candy Is made In Ne
braska, and sold' In Nebraska, and so far
Nebraska has no food law against putting
In all the terra alba, ban-ten, talc or
chrome yellow any dealer may desire to.
and no way to reach him If he tells a lie
on his label. But If he attempts to sell It
over In Council Bluffs, the national law
can deal with him.

A billion pounds of coffee ' we of the
United States drink In a year, and more
than half of that haa been labeled "Mocha

"Turkish and EypUan traders go to Arabia
before the crop is ripe and buy the Mocha

they attend to lta preparation themselves,

The many etorlea being circulated In
reference .to the independent - telephone
company of thla city have caused so much
confusion In the public mind that It seems
proper at this time that a plain statement
be made by the company.
Shortly after the franchlae was granted
to the Independent company last fall, a
contract waa entered Into with the Union
Telephone Construction company to build
and finance an automatic telephone sys
tem in Omaha with a 20,000 subscribers'
capacity.
The outside construction of the plant
will start the early part of April, and It la
expected) that service will be given In less
than twelve months. ' A large part of the
plant will be underground; there will be no
party lines. The business rate will be M 60
net "r mont, n1 tne residence rate 2
i system and its headquarters and managing
offlciala will be located In Omaha. Every
' effort will be made to ivs the people of
! Omaha the best telephone syatem In the
, pany a office is In the Conservative build-
ing, 1611 Harney- street, where alt Inquiries
will be answered.
Tha report that the gentlemen who se
cured the franchise have sold out Is abso
lutely without foundation. : Every one of
the original stockholders of the company
are atlll members of It, and a number of
them have Increased their holdings.
The bonds of the company are thirty
year 6 per cent gold bonds, with a sinking
fund to retire them. The underwriters for
the present have agreed to place these
bonds on the market at par with a 60 per
cent stock bonus.
