The Seaforth News, 1930-09-18, Page 7King of Sweden Likes Plain Food Pea ' Soup—and Pancakes With Jam ---Served '4Every Thursday By Inga Norberg • Swedish cooking has always' held a place of honer in the culinary world, and to be the royal cook in a country' of such connoisseurs of cooking as Sweden is to hold no mean position. Yet King, Gustaf . himself (whose grandchild, the Crown Princess of Nor- way, 0rway,: has just given birth to a daugh- ter), is quite a spartan as regards food, though. he shares a schoolboy's taste where. cakes are concerned, A Royal -Visitor When staying at Drottningbolm, a favorite royal palace near Stockholm, he sometimes paysa visit to the kit- chen, inspecting pots and pans and asking what there is for dinner. Should some delicious cake or other little tit -bit" happen to be lying about it might disappear as mysteriously as when his grandchildren find their way out there! And it is no secret that Princess Ingrid is a real little epicure. Sometimes, when espying the pastry cook in one of the long corridors, the King will walkup to her, shake handli, and say "Thank yeti so much for those lovely cakes you made ter tea yester- day." Many Steps to Get Nothing but copper utensils are used in the royal kitchens.. At Drottningholm all the kitchen stoves are heated by birch wood.' There are stockpots so heavy that it takes t vo people to move them. All round the kitchen are situated the sculleries, the pastryeook's room, and soon, while to get to the serving room you have to cross a yard, rather a cold proposition for the food in win- ter time, and most inconvenient, when one realizes that, having safely ar- rived in the serving room, there re- mains a further journey up a lift be- fore the food reaches its final destina- tion. The kitchen of the Prince of Sweden Is very much like the one at ]7rottningholm. All pots and pans are of :copper and marked to indicate their weight and capacity. Same have a royal crown engraved on them, and the initials of the King and Queen from whose reign they date. There are different store rooms for the different kinds of comestibles; one for vegetables, one for preserves and fruit, and one for meat. The refrig- erator for the meat consists of a long deep cistern, in which everything is kept on blocks of ice. Next to 1t we And a huge stone mortar which re- quires the strong arms of a man to manipulate it. The kitchen at Ulrtksdal is ruled over by a housekeeper who has six } maids under her. Pancakes Every Week! The menus present a great variety of dishes, but neither the Crown Prince npr the Crown Princess has any special favorite dish, though like King Gustaf, they keep to the old Swedish custom of having for dinner every Thursday of the year Pea soup, with pork, and pancakes with jam The former, as cooked in my coun- try anti served with a glass of hot Punsch (a liqueur made from Arrac), is quite delicious. • STYLES AND CUSTOMS CHANGE .

He writes: "Once in a while every lobster out- grows its shell, splits it down the back and sheds it, emerging 'from it in a soft-shelled state. After a period of retirement nutter the rocks, its new shell hardens and the lobster is reatly for normal activity again. "As soon as its claws have hardened enough so that it can use them again, the lobster begins to pick up pinches of sand from the bottom and drop them over its head. Over and over again it repeats this queer process, un- til it achieves some end that appears to be satisfactory. "What -is this thing the lobster is trying to do with grains of sand? "A dissection of the lobster's head shows that up in the region of its chief nerve centres there is a tiny cavity, communicating -with the out- side water by a still tinier hole. In. this cavity one ordinarily finds a few grains of sand. Only immediately af- ter the shell -shedding the sand grains are missing. The lining of the cavity is part of the shell, and is shed with the rest of the shell, taking the sand grains with 3t. The 'hair -sugaring' of the lobster is an effort, finally success- ful, to get sand grains back into this little pocket. "But why should a lobster want to have sand on the brain? "Scientists suspected that this little pocket, with the sand grains on its bottom, had something to do with the lobster's sense of equilibrium with its knowledge of what is right-side-up and what is upsidedown. But they didn't know how to go about proving it. "Finally one of them hit upon a clever idea.

"Now, then," he said, "1f anything g0021 wrong with your plane, jump out, count three as you are failing, so that you are free of the plane, and then pull the ring." He paused for his words to sink In. "You will then find that the parachute will open and you'll come clown as lightly as a feather." "But supposing it doesn't open?" asked one of his listeners.

Next Move Two men, neither of championship class, and whose knowledge of the rules of golf was no more accurate than their technical knowledge of the various shots, were standing on the first tee on the Midtown course. The first fairway is bordered on the right by a row of oak trees. One of the men tried his ball and, taking a vicious swing, sliced to such an extent that the ball struck one of the trees fairly, and came bounding back across the tee, so that the play. er in question, without moving from his stance, caught the ball in his hand as it was bounding past. With a bewildered loop on his face, he turned to his opponent and asked: "What shall I do now?" His opponent, without studied ef- fort or inclination to make a joke, re- plied: "Tee it up, hit it again, and then put your hands in your Pockets." Tree in Rain By Anderson M.

F1'etcher's signature - 4 Years without How do you deal with headaches ? Do you just take something to deaden the pain without getting rid of the trouble which causes the pain? Thousands do, despite the medical profession's warning cry of "DON'T!" Such makeshift methods simply suppress the symptoms of headaches. Tliey merely numb the nerves and leave the underlying cause to look after itself. And it only obtains a firmer grip. Headaches can generally be traced to a disordered stomach and to the unsuspected retention in the system of stagnating waste material which poisons the blood. Remove these poisons—prevent them forming again --and you'll never have to worry any more. And that is just how Krusehen Salts bring swift and lasting relief from headaebes.
