Dab of This and That Often
Makes Tasty Dish.
(T*o
By EDITH M. BARBER
^OME housekeepers have a prejudice
^ against leftovers. 1 do not share
this feeling. 1 actually welcome them.
Nothing is more fun than to find in
the refrigerator a dab of this and a
dab of that and to combine them with
the help of a few eggs, some white
sauce and a few bread crumbs, which
may themselves be a leftover, and to
evolve a completely new dish.
There are any number of dishes
whose names suggest special delicacies
and which can be made from leftovers.
I am speaking of timbales and souffles
which demand a foundation of soft
bread crumbs and milk or a white
sauce combined with eggs and strained
or minced, cooked vegetables, meat or
fish. You may even use mixed vege-
tables or a combination of vegetables
with the last pickings from the fowl
or roast.
Then there are those scalloped
dishes which may be made frpm any
leftover materials placed in alternate
layers with buttered crumbs in a
greased baking dish. White sauce or
tomato juice may be used to moisten
them it you like, and I must not for-
get croquettes which have a very thick,
well-seasoned white sauce for their
base.
Be sure to chill your croquette mix-
ture before you attempt to mold it into
little pyramids or rolls which are then
dipped in sifted dry bread crumbs,
beaten eggs and crumbs again. I par-
ticularly like sweet or white potato
croquettes because this is such a good
use for mashed potatoes when you may
have supplied too liberally. These are
merely moistened with egg, seasoned
with onion juice and parsley, if you
have some on hand, before they are
crumbed and fried in deep fat.
Meat Timbales.
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 cup milk
1 cup minced veal, chicken or ham
4 tablespoons butter
Salt, pepper
2 egg whites
Put the crumbs in the milk and cook
until very soft. Add meat, butter and
seasonings, fold in the beaten egg
whites, and pour into buttered molds,
filling not more than two thirds full.
Set molds in pan of hot water and
bake in a medium oven about one-half
hour. Serve with white sauce, sea-
soned with mushrooms, vegetables or
cheese.
Vegetables With Curry.
1 onion, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
Sait, pepper
Vjt teaspoons celery salt
1 cup milk
Leftover vegetables
Fry minced onion in butter, add flour
and seasonings. Add milk and stir un-
til smooth and thick. Pour this sauce
over diced vegetables and chopped
parsley. Heat thoroughly and serve
with boiled rice.
Baked Fish in Cheese Sauce.

3 tablespoons flour •
2 cups milk
% cup American cheese
% cup chopped mushrooms
1 or ndore cups flaked fish
Y2 can shrimp

Lights of New York

Most New Yorkers would not have
done what Herbert H. Holland did.
The great majority would merely
have shrugged their shoulders and gone
about their business. Some might
have laughed about it later but many
would have said nothing—the New
Yorker does not like to seem a sap,
and that’s the way most persons feel
when they receive the attentions of a
pickpocket. But Holland, a law stu-
dent in St. John’s Law school, over in
Brooklyn, is of different stuff. He be-
lieves that citizens have a duty to
their community. Doing that duty
caused him some exertion and the
loss of time. But that did not deter
him. He did what he thought was
right. So, William Johnson, a negro
with a coast to coast record as a pick-
pocket, has been held without bail to
await grand jury action.
* * *
Plolland, a passenger in the sub-
way during the rush hour, felt a tug
at his hip pocket as he was leaving
the train at Fourteenth street. Turning
quickly, he grasped a hand. In that
hand was his check book, he testified
later. The owner of the hand was
Johnson, who, it developed, has done
time in Sing Sing, in Sacramento,
Cleveland and elsewhere, and who has
been arrested 19 times for picking
pockets. Johnson dropped the check
book between the cars and grinned.
The crowd forced Holland outside.
But he got back into the train and
rode as far as Brooklyn bridge. There
he found an officer and Johnson was
arrested.
• * *
Being a law student, Holland didn't
stop at that. He went back and
looked for the evidence. A subway
employee had found the check book.
Holland took the matter up with the
company and got permission for the
employee to go to court to testify.
That clinched things and Johnson
went to the Tombs. After it was all
over, Holland explained that he knew
he was losing nothing—that he never
carried money in his hip pocket, and
it was easy to get another check book.
But there was that consciousness of
duty to his community, so he acted.

resignation of Jimmy Walker and the
ousting of Tammany. According to
MacKaye, a big break In the investi-
gation came because one of Mr. Sea-
bury’s bright young lawyers was kind
to a bank teller. The young lawyer
assigned to go over Walker’s bank ac-
counts met with no success. Then he
decided to go through t'^m again. The
teller detailed to assist him wanted two
days leave. His wife was ill and
alone at home, and he thought he
should be with her. The bank refused
the leave.

Hearing of this, the Seabury as-
sistant went to the bankers and told
them he was willing to postpone his
investigation if the teller got his
leave. On his return, the grateful
teller informed the investigator that
as he had dope him a good turn, he
was ready to do one himself. He told
the investigator to look carefidly at a
check with a certain number. The in-
vestigator did, and what he found led
to the discovery of one Sherwood, sup-
posed to have been Walker’s financial
agent.

To Out-Herod Herod
tN THE old morality plays King
A Herod was always depicted as cruel
and ferocious and to exceed even
him in violence one had to be indeed
inhuman.
The expression to out-Herod Herod
owTes its origin to Shakespeare who
used it in scene two of the third act
of Hamlet, that famous scene where
Hamlet gives advice to the players.
We find it so: Hamlet:
“Speak the speech, I pray you, as
I pronounced it to you, trippingly on
the tongue; bu^: if you mouth it, as
many of your players do, I had as
lief the town-crier spoke my lines.
Nor do not saw the air too much
wTith your hand, thus; but use all
gently ... O, it offends me to the
soul to hear a robustious periwig-pated
fellow tear a passion to tatters, to
very rags, to split the ears of the
groundlings who, for the most part,
are capable of nothing but inexplic-
able dumb-sliows and noise; I would
have such a fellow whipped for o’er-
doing Termagent; it out-Her-xl?
Herod ;; pray you, avoid it.”

Spectacles Collection
Feature of Hobby Show
Boston, Mass— One of the most in-
teresting displays at the first New Eng-
land Hobby Collectors’ show was that
of Dr. C. G. Berger, a collector of old
spectacles.
His exhibit included the gold-
rimmed glasses worn by President
Taft’s grandmother. Doctor Berger
also showed spectacles that were made
of wood, some that were tied over and
under the ear, a few that were held in
place by springs which pressed cork
pads against the temples, and still
others that had two extra lenses to be
swung into place when the wearer
wished to read.

Let Our Motto Be
GOOD HEALTH

College of Medicine.
GRANDMOTHER’S COLD
REMEDIES ARE BEST
If your head aches and your back
aches and your legs ache, and you
shake with a chill
in a hot room, and
your eyes are wa-
tery, your nose
stopped up, and
you keep sneezing
and sneezing, you
do not have to see
a doctor for a
diagnosis that you
are beginning a
head cold. You
know from experi-
ence that’s what
you’ve got. There
probably isn’t a
person in this country older than an
infant who has not had at least a few
colds on the debit side of his ledger.
Colds are the most general disease we
experience.
Now when you have a cold just start-
ing, the most sensible thing is to stop
it immediately, and the sooner you
start the more successful you will be.
If you say to yourself, “1 won’t
bother now, but I’ll do something to-
night,” you may be in for a three-day
siege, which is the normal run of a
cold that gets a good headway, or you
may be in for a longer siege that may
end in bronchitis, sinusitis, pleurisy or
pneumonia.
Medical science has been moderate-
ly successful in proving out ways for
building up the body’s resistance
against colds, but thus far in the way
of stopping a cold that has started,
modern science has not been able to
make any improvement upon grand-
mother’s remedies. Grandmother knew
that her remedies did the trick. All
that modern science has been able to
do has been to tell why the remedies
were successful.
Now, what did grandmother do? She
told you to get into your night clothes
while she filled a pan with hot water.
Then she set the pan on the floor with
a chair beside it, and you sat on the.
chair with your feet in the water and
a blanket around you until you were
wet with perspiration. Then she tucked
you iuto bed with several layers of
warmed blankets over you. But be-
fore she tucked you close around the
head, she gave you a glass of hot lem-
onade or of sweetened vinegar water.
If your throat was sore, she put a
warm flannel turpentine pack around
your neck. Then she left you to sweat
it out, and by morning, while you were
still weak, the cold was gone, and by
noon, if you bundled up well, you
were able to go into the winter alr„
with little danger of the cold coming
back.
Grandmother figured that these he-
roic measures were lots better—and
lots less bother in the end—than hav-
ing you hang around the house for
days coughing your head off and per-
haps getting worse, and besides the
rest of the family wouldn’t be in such
danger of catching the cold from you.
Well, science says grandmother did
the wisest thing possible. When you
have a beginning cold, your skin Is
clammy and cold, and the blood is col-
lected in the internal organs. The
' sweating forces the contracted skin
vessels to dilate, the sweat glands
secrete, and the blood becomes concen-
trated by the loss of water from the
sweat glands. This causes water to
be drawn from the body cells into the
blood stream, and there is complete re-
distribution of fresh blood. Heating the
skin of the feet is much better than
applying heat to any other single body
area since our feet are important ther-
mal regulators of the body. The blan*
ket prevents heat loss.
The hot lemon juice or the hot vine-
gar water helps get the digestive sys-
tem in order, which was put out of
order by first the chilling and then the
heating of the body skin, with the con-
sequence that the normal action of the
stomach was upset and no acid could
be secreted into it. The lemon juices
give artificial acidity to the stomach
and the heat in the “ade” causes, a
local increase in the blood supply to
the stomach. Thus the digestive sys-
tem becomes normal and active again
without being loaded with food, and
there is no danger of an accumulation
of body acids.
Likewise the flannel cloth moistened
with warm turpentine and wrapped
around the neck is sound in its scien-
tific principle. It is a form of counter
Irritation, which has been good therapy
for centuries and centuries.
A day and a night of grandmother’s
kind of treatment will almost invari-
ably stop a beginning cold.
It is estimated that the average per-
son engaged in gainful industrial em-
ployment loses about two and one-half
days per year from his work because
of colds.
This causes a loss of millions of dol-
lars in wages alone, and in addition
there is the loss in energy and effi-
ciency for many days following an at-
tack, the loss from illness due to colds,
and there is the cost of medicine and
the medical and nursing services. -,
Colds are in their most infectious
stage at their beginning. Perhaps some
day we shall become so enlightened
that employers will send employees
home immediately at the first indica-
tion of a cold so that other employees
won’t be infected, and teachers will
do the same with pupils the moment
they start sniffling.
