NELLIE MAXWELL
Miss Maxwell Is head of the lecture and
demonstration staff of the University of
Wisconsin. She attends farmers* Insti-
tutes and gives lessons on domestic sil-
ence and household economics. Her con-
tributions on all phases of these subjects
to the university publications have
brought her recognition from authorities
In all parts of the country. For several
years Miss Maxwell was engaged in do-
mestic science extension work for the
state Agricultural colleges of Iowa and
Nebraska. Out of the abundance of her
practical experience and theoretic train-
ing she has taught thousands of farmers'
wives and daughters how to plan their
mountain of household labors so that it
could be done more easily and satisfac-
torily than It had been done before. The
women of our community are assured
that Miss Maxwell's recipes and sugges-
tions have been tested carefully and
proved satisfactory. We publish the fea-
ture by special arrangement.
SOME GOOD MEATS.

For n small family with limited ;
means a ronst Is out of the question, j
for n roast to be
juicy and delicious
must weigh at the
least five to six
pounds. A smaller
roast is dry and un-
palatuble, losing Its
Juice nnd flavor.
When a roast is
much desired, it
might be served when entertaining
company, nnd even then, there will be
such an array of leftover meat that
the fumiiy will be tired of it before it
is used.
A roast should be placed In a very
hot oven at first to sear it, then the
heat is reduced and after twenty min-
utes count the time, giving It fifteen
minutes to the pound for meat served
rare, twenty for meat well done.
Red meats, beef and mutton, are the
most digestible, tnking about three
hours to digest, while veal and pork
take four and five. Much depends
upon the method cookery us to its dl
gestlblllty, however; any kind of meat
well cooked and seasoned is mere di-
gestible than that not properly pre-
pared.
Sour Beef.-r-This Is a favorite Ger-
man method of serving beef. Take
a pound and a half of beef, using the
tough or cheaper cuts; cut the meat

flour to the fat in the pan after re-
moving the meat j when brown, add

NEW WAYS WITH CODFISH.
Codfish is one of the foods In rench
of any market and should be quite
reasonable In price.
The mention of cod-
fish to many brings
visions of white
sauce; this same-
ness in serving this
good fish is the rea-
son that has preju-
diced many against
it. We mny now
buy codfish shredded, in cans, free
from bones in boxes or fillets neatly
trimmed ready for the company din-
ner. Test the different brands until
one finds the best. Codfish may be
served in balls, as esealloped, boiled
and served with drawn butter and a
few chopped pickles, baked in layers
with mashed potatoes, fried in butter
and served with boiled or baked pota-
toes, and then we may always fall
back upon the good old standby which
most of us enjoy occasionally, creamed
codfish with baked potatoes.
If you want to try a new sensntlon
in combinations use sour cream to
make the white sauce for codfish, the
bit of acid is especially attractive with
the fish.
Boiled cod fish served with curry
sauce is nice for a change. Stir into
a tablespoon of melted butter, a table-
spoonful of curry and one cupful of
boiling water; cook and stir until it
thickens, pour over the fish and dust
with pepper.
Creamed Codfish.—For a pint of milk
and a pint of shredded codfish add the
yolk of two eggs, a slice of onion, a
blade of mace, a sprig of parsley, one
tablespoonful of butter and two of
flour. 1'ut the milk on to scald in a
^double broiler, with the seasonings, add
the flour and butter cooked together,
then the beaten yolks and cook until
the eggs are set. Put a layer of this
sauce In a buttered dish, then a layer
of fish, and then another layer of sauce
until nil is used. Pour over the top the
beaten whites of the eggs, sprinkle with
buttered crumbs and bake until brown.
Codfish Gruel.—Mix a tablespoonful
of freshed codfish with two tnblespoon-
fuls of fiour, add a cupful of boiling
water, and simmer until well cooked;
add butter or cream and serve with
crisp crackers.

But Cardui Built Up Her Health
And Strength So She Could
Do Her Work.
Etowah, Tenn.—"About 5 years ago,"
writes Mrs. Lillie Carden, of this place,
"I first took Cardui. Dr. said
I was suffering with ulceration . . .
and . . . turned over to one side.
I suffered great pain in lower abdomen
and back. For 1 or 2 years the . . .
had been irregular and came nbout
every 2 weeks, and I suffered great
pain. Would cramp so I couldn't get
up and do my work. Sometimes the
. . . would last 4 or 5 days nnd
come too much, which seemed to cause
me to suffer very much. I would be
up and down in the bed for 4 or 5
days. When I'd take the Cardui
through the period, the . . . would
be less and not Inst so long—only
Something like 3 days, nnd the suffer-
ing would be -entirely relieved.
My health had got rundown and the
Cardui would build up my health and
strength and keep me going and out
of bed, so I could do my work. It hurt
me to even sweep my floor when 1
began It, but got so I could do the
most of my work, and I didn't suffer
any more, had no more cramps."

Where the flavor of vegetables like
anions, cabbage, turnips or euullflower
are enjoyed, many good
combinations may be
served of these everyday
foods.
Onions au Gratin.—
Break six small onions
In pieces, but do not
chop them. Grate two
ounces of cheese and
have ready one cupful
of seasoned sauce. But-
ter a casserole and put
Into it a layer of onion, then of cheese,
then some white sauce and more onion,
until the dish is full. Sprinkle brown-
bread crumbs over the top, dot with but-
ter and bake In the oven until well
browned. Serve frcui the dish In
which It Is baked.
Cabbage With Sausages.—Cut a cab-
bage into tine shreds, wash and drain
well. Put It Into a saucepan with boil-
ing water to cover; add a little salt
and cook uutil It is tender. Prick a
pound of sausuges and fry until brown
on all sides. Then add them to the
cabbage with salt and pepper to taste
and cook 15 mluutcs, adding butter if
needed to season. Serve hot.
Sweet Potato Souffle.—;Take five
i:o<id-siy.ed sweet potatoes. When done,
einove the potato and mash until
mouth Beat the yolks of three eggs;
AUTUMN GAME.
We think of game as a great deli-
cacy, and so it is—yet in many places
quail are plentiful and
cheap. Prairie chickens
and partridges are most
choice eating. Venison
is usunlly plentiful In
fall in the northern and
eastern states, and when
hung long enough to be-
come tender Is most de-
licious game.
Broiled Quail.—Split
the birds down the back
and rub all over with melted butter.
Lay in a broiler over a clear flre und
cook ten minutes, turning frequently.
Serve on squares of fried bread, and
serve with currant jelly.
Prairie chickens are best broiled or
roasted in the oven. Rub well with
butter and broil 15 minutes, or cook
In the oven in n dripping pan, basting
while cooking with the Juices from the
birds.
Roast Quail.—Tie a strip of salt
pork around each bird after stuffing
them with browned buttered bread
crumbs. Baste every two or three min-
utes, baking them fifteen. Serve them
on squares of toast or fried hominy
or cornmeal mush. Garnish with wa-
ter cress. The birds are delicious
served cold with a salad covered with
French dressing.
Small birds are panned by cutting
them in qunrtefs and pan broiling
them.
