A pound of highly refined sugar is equal to considerably more than the same quantity of raw sugar, because in the former, water and foreign matter have been removed. The quality of any sugar depends upon the degree of refinement to which it is subjected. The art of refinement has reached its highest standard in St. Lawrence Sugar. St. Lawrence represents the finest quality sugar that scientific z-efning, combined with the choicest raw materials can produce. While the price of lower' grade sugars appears cheaper than St. Lawrence Sugar, they are in reality more expensive because a much larger quantity of inferior sugar is required for sweetening. The idea that any sugar is exposed to dirt, dust or other impurities and is scooped by soiled hands out of a dirty bin is repulsive to the fastidious housekeeper. To avoid this, buy St. Lawrence Sugar in sealed cartons or sealed bags, which, from the time it manufactured in the Refinery and until the package or bag is opened by the consumer, never comes in contact with human hands, nor is exposed to the air. It is to your interest to insist upon having St. Lawrence Sugar either in 2 or 5113. sealed carton packages or in 10, 20, 25, 50 or 100 lb. sealed bags, which may be had either in fine, medium or coarse grain. , For sale at all good grocers.

Wash the,skin as one weer<t a to- mato, and then pare and cat up. It is usually sliced, but sometimes cut 'into dice or julienne strips, It turns dark quickly, so it 'should be cooked imm.edititely. One can have ready, a 'saesoay dish of eggplant in fifteen minutes, Perhaps the rea- son that the fried eggplant one gets at some eating places. is bitter is because it stands after being out up.. When it is 'bo bo .stuffed, the skin is left on. 1t is ,then either 'parboil- ed 'whole -or cut in 'half acrd cooked, the shin loosened around the edges, It may then be fried in deep fat, the .cut side down.

India, in 'd'escribing baked eggplant, says: ".A person dots not know the real flavor of eggplant until ho has eaten it bak- ed." Ito gives this method as an alternative of boiling, but prefers this, .as ib preserves all the delicate flavor of the vegetable. He says also it may be used as. the £ound•a- tioai of a number of -dishes, such things as 'eggplant croquettes, as well' as• eggplant stuffing for fowl, being mixed with bread crumbs and egg and seasoned with salt and pepper, This pulp also is used for eggplant souffle incl omelet.
