When we say peppers, do we think of the green shiny pod as a possibility for delicious pickles, used only ab one season of the year, or do we think of a vegetable which can appear on our tables more frequently? It is from the hot countries, par- ticularly Italy and Mexico, that the more northern housewife is learning their possibilities. In the first place, all members of the pepper family are distinguished by excellent stomachic qualitiee and natural pungency, which is good for increasing the flow of gas- tric juice and in general, "toning up." Another point in favor of the pep- per is that it can be used both raw or. cooked. As an addition to salad, it is constantly growing in favor, owing not only to its delicate flavor, but its attractive color and the possibilities which it presents to the salad -maker's knife or scissors. Many an other- wise unattractive salad can be made different by the addition of strips, sec- tions or chopped pieces of pepper. Pepper combines well with sweat fruits, such as oranges or pineapple, and also with cabbage and tomato. As a container for other salads, the pepper pod takes rank with the toma- to cup. The lower end may be cut off neatly, the edges decorated, and this cup be filled with other mixtures in which the pepper pod itself need not be eaten. In cooked dishes there are many ways of using left -over peppers. There is no limit to the number of stuffed dishes which can be made. For all of these it is better to parboiic the pepper in boiling water for two or three minutes after having removed the seeds and stem, The pod may be filled with mixtures of cooked rice, breadcrumhs, ham, cold mutton, tomatoes, etc. The pep- pers should then be laid in a casserole or baking dish, partially covered with stock, tomato sauce or enough butter to make a slight juice, so that when baked the dish will be not too dry. Another mode of using peppers is bo slice and fry them as an accompani- ment to steak, or the peppers may be fried and- then creamed, A most de- licate flavor is given to ordinary vege- table soups by adding a few strips of green pepper. Some one has said there is nothing the matter with the flavor of any one stew. The trouble isthat all stews generally "taste alike."- This' cannot• be said of the stew, hash or other "made dish" in which pepper is the flavor, for a combination of pepper and tomato will make even the most ordinary leftovers appetizing, Chili Con Carne.—Two pounds low- er round steak, three green sweet pep- perpods, three cups of red kidney beans, one clove of garlic, butter, salt flour, one pint of strained tomato stock. Remove stem and seeds from peppers and cut into thin cross-sec- tions. Cut steak in inch pieces and saute in butter, Dust with flour, then add the tomato stock and the peppers. Simmer about two hours or until the meat is very tender, adding more wa- ter if necessary. When done, be meat and sauce should blend together. and the whole be well seasoned and served hot. The cooked kidney beans are added about the last half hour in order to blend thoroughly with the gravy, but each bean should be sepa- rate. Stuffed Baked Peppers.—Six green sweet poppers, ono cup strained toma- to sauce, half cup boiled rice, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one table- spoonful of chopped onion, half tea- spoonful salt, two-thirds cupful moist bread crumbs, half cupful of cold minced meat, half cup of mushrooms, paprika. 'Cut stem from peppers, re- move seeds and parboil five minutes in a quart of water to which has been added one-eighth teaspoonful baking soda. Melt butter and saute onion. Add tomato sauce, rico and bread crumbs, meat, mushrooms, Season with salt and paprika, stuff pepper• cases and set upright in baking dish. Cover with buttered crumbs. Add remaining half-eup of tomato sauce with a little water and pour around base. Bake slowly, basting with sauce, for 80 minutes. Things Good to Eat. Giblet Sandwich.—If , there are chicken giblets left over grind them to a coarse paste with a neat chop- per and season with mayonnaise. Spread between buttered whole wheat bread for unusual and delicious sand. wichos.. Short Bread. --Sift one cup of flour and a quarter cup of sugar over half cup of butter, Work with the fingers until smooth, Pack in pans to three. fourth's of an inch depth, mark in Wares and bake the short bread in a slow oven until light brown. This is not as easy as it looks, Boiled Apple Pufets.—Three eggs, one phut of milk, a little salt, suf- ficient flour to thicken as waffle batter, one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder: Fill teacups with alternate are done, brush over with beater egg, Brown in the oven. When done slip a knife under them and slide them upon a hot platter. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately, Casserole of Duck.—Onefive-pound' duck, one cup mushroom caps, one- half can peas, one-half teaspoon on- ion juice, one teaspoon dry powdered mint, ono quart well -seasoned soup stock, flour and drippings. Singe, clean and disjoint duck. Roll each piece well in hour and brown quickly in beef drippings. Pack in layers in very large casserole, alternating with' mushrooms and peas, mixed, and cover with soup stock containing on - len juice and mint. Bake slowly for three hours in moderately hot oven. Add more salt and pepper, if liked, Hauth'With Brown Gravy.—Mince an onion or two and fry well. Have the meat cut in small pieces and turn this into the frying pan when the onion is brown, turning frequently with a fork until the meat, too, is cooked through and well browned. Then sprinkle meat and onion with flour, stirring until the flour browns. Add enough water to make a smooth, thick gravy. Let bubble up and serve pip- ing hot on triangles of toast. The flavor may be varied by adding at the last moment a dash of Chili or Wor- cester sauce or catsup, or a little cel- ery seed. Pie—Gold and Silver.—For the sil- ver part take a large white potato, peel and grate it into a deep plate. Add the juice and grated rind of a lemon, the beaten white of an egg, a cup of white sugar and a cup of cold water. Stir well together and bake in a single crust in a dish deep en- ough to hold twice the quantity of the silver part. Make a custard of one cup o1' milk, teaspoon of cornstarch, one egg, sugar to taste and flovor with grated nutmeg or sherry wine. Pour over the silver layer and return to the oven and cook until set. When done you may finish with a meringue if you wish or serve without. Things Worth Remembering. Do not allow fish to stand in water. Very good fish chowder is made with haddock. When the top of the stove is red hot, the oven is not hot. Put a little ammonnia in the warm water used to wash paint. New sbockings should always be washed before being worn The best fish for baking are cod- fish, haddock and pollock. If the closet where you hang tins and cooking utensils is badly lighted, try painting the hooks and nails white. Chamois leathers should be washed in tepid water and dried with the soap in them; they will then be nice and soft.

When tracking down U-boats the "hunting dogs" work perspicaciously. Anyone unfamiliar with their meth- ods, who watched them beating over a patch of grey and apparently empty sea, might think they were nosing about rather aimlessly, when the truth would be that they were hot upon scent. This much can be said for them; once they do pick up a scent they seldom fail to kill, and they kill more often than they capture, as one would expect from the nature of their hunting. Perhaps one may be per- mitted also to say that they do not do much aimless wandering, and that once an enemy submarine puts fairly to sea it has very small chance of get- ting beck to its harbor again. In this connection it should be re- membered that a dog cannot snap up a rat until the rat has come out of its hole.

NOT DRUNK, MERELY DEVOUT. Welsh Town Crier's Queer Actions at a Funeral. 1 • 'sting against the time when the full Mg out enemy submarines are known among bluejackets as "the hunting dogs." This is both terse and explanatory,' since hunting is their job and they do it in pack -like fashion. One of their "catches" now lies alongside Temple Pier, whither all London is craning its neck to get a look at it. There it lies ringing in the nimble sixpences while the "hunting dogs" continue their quest for more "game" of similar kind. Now a word as to the "dogs" themselves. One finds in the "packs" quite a motley collection of "breeds." These are heavy lumb- ers which beat over the ground with untiring persistency; pugnacious lit- l tlo terriers which nose around the' holes and when they have "found" call up the bigger dogs to the "kill- ing"; also greyhounds, keen of eye and swift of movement, which pounce with deadly spring upon any quarry that may show itself in the open.
