CAULIFLOWER RECIPES
Directions for Preparing Attractive
Dishes Careful Cooking Re
quired to Preserve and
Develop Flavor.
(Weekly News Letter)
Cauliflower, which is a much more
common vegetable than it used to be,
- and which with reasonable care can
be grown in most gardens, offers one
of the few examples of the use as
food of the blossom portion of a
plant, for the vegetable as we know
it is an unusual or abnormal develop
ment of the flower head, just as cab
bage, to which it is related, is an un
usual or abnormal development of a
stalk and the leaves borne upon it.
Cauliflower has a distinctive flavor
suggesting cabbage somewhat, but
more delicate. Whatever the method
for preparing it for the table, care
should be taken to preserve and de
velop its flavor and to keep the
creamy white color which is so at
tractive. This means that it must
be cooked just long enough to insure
tenderness and no longer. If over
cooked, the white portion turns dark
and the flavor becomes strong and
finally rank. Some persons insist that
overcooked cauliflower and overcook
ed cabbage may be the cause of di
gestive disturbance which is not no
ticed when these vegetables are pro
perly cooked.
Simple ways of preparing vege
tables for the table are apt to be the
best in the etnd and this is the case
with cauliflower. The first step in
preparing it for the table is to trim
off the statlk and any discolored por
tions of the head.
The following recipes are worth
trying:
Boiled Cauliflower With Drawn
Butter.
Place the cauliflower, head up, in
boiling water to which salt has been
added (1 teaspoonful to quart of
water) and cook until just tender,
which should require for a medium
sized cauliflower about ome-half hour.
Then remove whole to a hot dish and
serve with melted butter. Sometimes
the head is wrapped in cheesecloth
before being cooked to make sure
that the delicate flowerets are not
broken off. If the leaf stalks are
cooked with the head, serve in such
a way that each person receives a por
tion of both head and leaf.
Creamed Cauliflower
The cauliflower cooked as above
may be served with a cream sauce,
and the dish looks particularly well
when the head is left whole and the
sauce is poured over it. If more con
venient, however, it may be broketn
up into small portions, which should
' be arranged neatly in the dish and
then covered with the sauce.
Cream Sauce
This kind of sauce (so often serv
ed with vegetables) should be made
rather thick for cauliflower, as fol
lows: One cup milk; 2 tablespoon
fuls butter; 2 tablespoonfuls flour;
teaspoonful salt;, and 4 teaspoon
ful pepper. Heat the milk over boil
ing water; beat the butter and flour
to a cream and stir into the hot
milk. Cook 5 minutes, then add
psalt and pepper.
Cauliflower Baked With Crumbs
This dish is prepared by pouring a
little melted butter over the top of
boiled cauliflower, which is then
sprinkled with fine, dry bread crumbs
which have been buttered. Bake the
cauliflower in a hot oven just long
enough to brown the crumbs, which
give a pleasant flavor.
In this and the other dishes re
ferred to, salt and pepper can be
added as desired.
Cauliflower Baked With Cheese
(Cauliflower au gratin) .
Break into pieces a well-drained
head of plain boiled cauliflower and
fill a dish with layers (two or at most
three) of cauliflower lightly sprink
led with grated cheese. Pour over all
a cup of cream sauce; sprinkle the
top with buttered bread crumbs, and,
if a decided cheese flavor is liked,
with a little grated cheese also. Bake
im a moderately hot oven until the
top is a delicate brown.
Cream of Cauliflower Soup .
Cream soups can be made by add
ing the pulp of a vegetable (enough
to insure good flavor) to a thin cream
sauce. A good proportion is 1 cup of
vegetable pulp (in this case cauli
flower broken into very small pieces
or put through a rather course seive)
to a quart of sauce.
Cauliflower Salad
An attractive and palatable salad
can be made from cauliflower. Break
the cold boiled vegetable into pieces
of suitable size, arrange them on let
tuce leaves, and serve with either
French or mayonnaise dressing. The
salad may be garnished with small
strips of pimientos (fresh or canned)
or green peppers, or thin slices of
- kumquat orange.
Cauliflower for Pickles
Cauliflower broken into small
pieces is often used with other vege
tables in mustard pickles and other
mixed pickles. It is attractive in ap
pearance and contributes to the fla
vor. This is worth bearing im mind
when the pickle making season comes
round.

Severe Cold Quickly Cured
"On December first I had a very
severe cold or attack of the grip as it
may be, and was nearly down sick in
bed," writes 0. .J Metcalf, Weather
by, Mo. "I bought two bottles of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and it
was only a few days until I was com
pletely restored to health. I firmly
believe that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is one of the very best medi
cines and will know what ,to do
when I have another cold." Obtain

SECRETARY OF WAR RESIGNS
Major General Scott, Chief of Staff,
Automatically Becomes the
Secretary.
President Wilson Friday found
himself personally in charge of the
administration's plans for an increas
ed army.
Secretary of War Lindley M. Gar
rison has resigned from the cabinet
because President Wilson declined to
insist without compromise upon the
adoption of the continental army plan
by congress..
The resignation was tendered and
accepted and with Mr. Garrison, the
assistant secretary of war, Henry
Breckinridge also left the service of
the government.
Assistant Secretary Breckinridge
resigned because of loyalty to his
chief. His resignation also was ac
cepted.
Major General Scott, chief of the
staff of the army, automatically be
came secretary of war ad interim.
There is considerable speculation
here over a possible successor to
Secretary Garrison. Those talked of
most prominently included Repre
sentative Shirley, of Kentucky, chair
man of the house fortifications sub
committee, Secretary Lame of the in
terior department, and Assistant Sec
retary Roosevelt, of the navy depart
ment.
The president will. not appoint a
southern man to succeed Mr. Garri
son, it was said in well informed cir
cles.

Hon. Josephus Daniels
Hon. Josephus Daniels is coming
in for his share of criticism by those
not friendly to the genial oNrth Caro
linian. Still he has friends up North.
The New York Herald, writing of
traits and characteristics of members
of President Wilson's Cabinet, points
out, and holds up for consideration,
the following, among others, from the
life of Secretary of the Navy Jose
phus Daniels:
"He does aiot smoke, drink, chew,
nor swear.
"He is infatuated with hard work.
"He hasn't much money and does
n't care.
"He is one of the best-liked men in
the Cabinet.
"Walk right up and slap him on
the back. He is not warlike, despite
his belligerent title.
"There were no silver spoons in
the Daniels family when Josephus
arrived. His parents were in a po
sition to give him a name and that
is about all.
"He is of the likeable, old-fashioned,
easy-going type, but there is
no use trying to bluff him. He won't
stand for that.
"This man looks for the moral side
of -every question, and then gets on
that side."

the French soldiers now than itn bar
