Farmer Brown's Boy was just begin- ning to make the acquaintance of some of the little people of the Dry Desert. Sometimes he wondered how there could be any little desert people. Yes, sir, he did so. He wondered how they found | enough to eat and he wondered how they found enough to drink. You see, he could not imagine any one befng able to live without drinking. Yet that was exactly what some of these little people ‘were ._Longfoot the Kangaroo Rat ‘was one. He actually had no use for water.

In the home these foods can also do double duty, but they require special care-in preparation, nor should a housewife expect too much of soup- meat dishes. One way to make meat and poultry provide both soup and meat is to pre- pare them first for the solid fo. . disies, in which all the elements ars conserved to the benefit of this primary object. Left-overs of meat, bone, and -gristle, if any, can later on become soup meat. Excellent soups can bs made from | once-cooked meat. Put the meat in cold water and gradually bring to the boiling point, Then simmer. Add onions, | celery, carrots, salt, and pepper, and any | left-over vegetables, or small quantities of new vegetables, cut into small pieces. The extracts of these vegetables provide quality and flavor. If the meat is lean, fry diced salt pork, remove the scraps and add to soup. Make a thin roux of the fat by sifting flour into it, and add- ing cold water gradually to form a smooth paste. Stir this into the soup. Butter is equally as good as the pork. The meat can be chopped fine and be highly seasoned with salt, pepper. Chili | sauce, or tomato sauce, or a little horse- ' radish, .and be served in fattened spoonfuls with a poached egg on top of each portion. This makes a tasty dish. Another method of making the meat ‘do double duty is to divide the cooking. Put the meat, uncut, in cold water. Bring to a boil, and simmer until some of the juices have been extracted. Re-| move the meat (which should have fat | |on it). Put it into a casserole with | sliced_onions, sweet pepper and celery. | Dust lightly with herbs such as thyme, sage and sweet marjorams, also salt an pepper. Add a little water. Cover tightly and ccok in the oven until tender. | For the soup add tomatoes, fresh or | canned, and such vegetables 2s you like, | always including onions. Season to taste, strain and serve. As the meat | julces are but partly extracted, the soup | needs the tomato, and the meat needs | the vegetables, but neither is entirely robbed of the real meat flavor. i (Copyright. 1931.) !

EAR MISS DIX—History teaches us that King Solomon was master of a thousand women. Brigham Young handled 20 with ease. ‘Today man has trouble bossing one. Why? 1Is it because there is no competition for his affections, or is he dumb? 8. B. 8. ANSWEH:—M(JO!I asserts that Solomon had a thousand wives, but it does not tell us that he was able to manage them. There is no record of what went on behind the walls of the women's palace, nor whether even the wisest man that ever lived was competent to deal with them, or whether perhaps he was even afraid of them. Evidently he had his troubles with the ladies of his harem. Probably in those old savage days, when a husband had the power of life and death over his wife and a troublesome s was neatly strangled or sewn up in a sack and dropped into the nearest water course, it was easier to manage women than it is today. But it doesn't take much imagination to picture how beset was a man with many jealous wives striving for his favor and weeping on his breast and wheedling fine clothes and jewels out of him. LUCKY, I'll say, is the man who has only one wife to get along with and keep placated and dolled up in the latest fashions. Monogamy is man’s greatest boon, if he only knew it. As for Solomon or Brigham Young or any other man managing a bunch of wives, I don't believe it. There was always some pretty-pretty who pulled the wool over their eyes. Always there was some sharp- tongued virago of whom they were deadly afraid, even as there is today. OP course, the man of today has difficulty in bossing his wife, because the modern wife doesn't look upon her husband as her lord and master, and doesn’t see by what authority he presumes to dictate to her. She regards marriage as a partnership in which & man and a woman put all that they have, body, soul, money, service, and inasmuch as she contributes her quota she feels that she has just as much right in it as her husband has. She is willing to talk things over with him, to listen to his opinions, to be guided by his suggestions when they are wise ones, to make concessions to his wishes, but she doesn’t see why she should take orders from him, nor be subservient to him, nor why she should be bossed by him. MOREOVER, the average woman knows that she is just as intelligent as her husband. Very often she has had better educational and social advantages than he has had, and so she feels quite as capable of deciding important matters as he is. It is hard to boss a woman, but it is easy to manage her, and no husband would have the slightest difficulty in doing that if, as super- salesmen say, he would study his approach and use some tact in handling her. For while women will not stand having the law laid down to them in an autocratic manner by their husbands, they are amenable to sug- gestions and are so easy to work it is a shame to do it. F a husband is forever knqcking his wife’s cooking, for instance, she says to herself, oh, what's the use, and slams any old kind of meal on the table. But if he praises her as a chef she will make a burnt offering of herself on the kitchen stove trying to justify his good opinion. If he raises ructions over every bill, she goes on & spending debauch by way of revenge and buys herself seven new dresses, but if he tells her how beautiful she looks in her last Summer's frock she will wear it out to the last rag. So it goes, and the tyran! husband is always outwitted, while the husband who manages his wile by subtlety has her eating out of his hand. DOROTHY DIX. (Copyright. 1931) FOOD PROBLEMS attire.
