Excellent Menus in Which "Vegetable Dishes Only Appear. EATLESS dinners are more popular than one might M think, During the meat strike they obtained & cer tain vogue through seeming necessity, and they, Proved so satisfactory that many people are sticking @ them. ‘The fashion, 00 common among Southerners, of sere ing vegetables and salads ts also being extended by tacsiges , who have found out that they can easily get along without eating meat. It ts possible to prepare a score of good ment lees bills of fare, but the two we give will suffice, Here's one bill of fare for a dinner without meat: Tced Tomatoes, Onion Soup, Botled Rice, Broiled Mushrooms, Carrots and Celery.

Add one cupful hot milk and one tablespooa- ful each of butter and flour mixed smoothly together, Season lightly with salt, pepper and a very little nutmeg, Let bef] for five minutes, stirring constantly, then serve. This dighr should be served frequently where there are nervous, irrite-, ble persons, both vegetables being excellent for such trouble! Another meatless menu runs thus: Corn Chowder, Bpanish Omelet. Cheese. Cantaloupe. Lima Beans. Cabbage and Green Pepper Salad. Blackberry Roly Poly, Bliced Tomatoes, } Baked Potatoes, Coffee.

This was found out by some pclene tists—men who were interested in bees and all insects. ¥ catching a number of bees just as they returned to the hive Jaden with honey. They put then tn a little box and weighed them carefully. When the bees had unioaded they were again caught, placed in the same box and weighed a second time, and the result showed that the bees three times as much the first time as the second. It waa, therefore, concluded that a bee can carry twice its ows ‘ weight of honey and fly some distance, A Picture Puzzle,
