MINTS OF PAPBR BAO COOKING
- REVIEWED
By fifiartjia McCulloch William
In this final paper on my experi-
ences with M Boyer’s paper bag cook-
ery It may be Well to sum up briefly
Its claims and Its performances
In the claims Item one economy
more than vital In the present state
of finance high and low
Item two nutrition things cooked
In paper bags certainly set better
upon the stomach and return more
strength of mind and body than the
same things cooked outside 1L
Item three prevention — the preven-
tion of ptomaine and other obscure
poisons bred betwixt food and air
Not the wiliest microbe of them all
can survive baking In the oven — and
after the baking the bag Is thrown
away
Item four Increase and bettering of
flavors which means Increase and
bettering of food Itself
Item five the making tender of
Inugh hence Indigestible fiber as In
round steak old fowls and such Ilk
things
Item six prevention of amslle— an
advantage so apparent as to require
no more than bare mention
Item seven the crowning mercy
the abolition of scrubbing out pots and
pans
A fine array truly But not the
whole tale of benefits The whole
might be tedious Any way In the
little remnant of allotted space other
things press to bd spoken
Words of caution for example In
cooking In paper bags mind not your
p’s and q's but the simple directions
for use Namely to grease the bags
well not to overfill them to fold
over the open end three time and
fasten the fold with wire dips to lay
the filled bag always seam side up
and If by chance It breaks to put It
Instantly Inside another bigger bag
to finish the cooking
Buy dips in several sizes They are
cheap and almost everlasting Use
them freely In fastening up the bags
—they can be pulled off before the
bag Is thrown away and used over
and over
Do not be niggard as regards bags
Often It Is better to use two or three
small ones than a single one of medi-
um or large size
Coal and wood ranges are not so
well adapted to paper bag cooking as
gas ranges Still bag cooking can be
done with any kind of heat — the
knack lies In the regulation of It The
theory of paper bag cooking Is this:
A cold bag put Into a ho stove gets
warm very quickly throughout and
the paper of It crisps wherever It
touches nothing but air This quick
heat is essential — It vaporlzhs the
liquids or the Juices Inside the bag
and makes a medium for softening
and flavoring the food fiber But if
the heat la too long continued it de-
stroys the tensile strength of the bag
makes it break of itself and spill Its
contents Hence the importance of
lowering the heat and quickly before
this destruction hi accomplished
There are several ways of doing
this They may be used in combina-
tion or separately First push In the
dampers then open the oven door
and set inside upon the oven floor a
shallow pan of cold water Leave the
oven door ajar for two or three min-
utes with a strip of white paper on
the shelf beside tho bag If the paper
turns pale yellow the heat Is suf-
ficiently reduced If It turns brown
very quickly set the door wide take
out the water pan and refill after
emptying with fresh cold water then
set again upon the oven floor Keep
the door ajar until the teat paper
merely yellows Fy that time the
dampers should have done their work
sufficiently Close the oven door
leaving Inside another strip of clean
white paper In three minutes look
at It— If It Is browning too fast set
the door again ajar but if merely yel-
lowing let the door stay closed
This regulation of heat is a vital
part of the problem but much lest In-
tricate than It rounds A gat range

Sol Bourgulgone: Thoroughly but-
ter a bag place inside a well trimmed
sole or flounder add three small peel-
ed unout onions a bouquet garni and
a glass of claret Mix a large tea-
spoonful of flour with an ounco of
butter placo this mixture on the sole
seal up the bag and cook for twenty
minute in a hot oven
el or Flounder er Cod a la Corn-
ices: Grease a bag thickly Take
six or eight fillets of soles dust them
lightly with salt and white pepper
and squess a little lemon Juice over
each fillet Put them in a bag and
add to them an ounce of finely minced
mushrooms halt a heaped large tea-
spoonful of finely minced shallot or
chives a heaped large teaspoonful of
minced parsley and a heaped dessert
spoonful of freshly fried breadcrumb
ail mixed together Add also half a
toe hot needs to have half the flame
tuned off and what remains reduc-
ed as low as is safe
In baking pastry and cake It I es-
sential to make very tiny holes In the
upper side of the bag before the go
In the oven The bole should be la
the highest part of the bag but not
very doe together
Things cooked at full boad of gas—
those which take five to tea minutes
should not be taken up until the gas
is extinguished so ss to a”old all risk
of burning the hands Relighting the
stove means no more than tho sacri-
fice of a match— and even half a fbln-
ute of gas flame will pay tor many
matches
There are no -rifles In paper bag
cooking nor la any other method of
cookery lor that matter Things that
seem too small to count make the dif-
ference between success and failure
h as In the other concerns of Ilf
As for instance a clip loosely put on
may it liquids run out making heaps
of trouble for the coox filling the
house with ill odira and halt ruining
a dish otherwle- beyond compare
Tliese are but examples that might
be Infinitely multiplied They sb Id
suffice to prove that the paper bag
in return for Its wonder-working d
mands good and carefu' handling
Whoso glveth It will have her --ward
TASTY FISH DISHES
Now that paper bag cooking
robbed fish of their harmful odor the
tang that hung to the house through
days and days Friday baa lost a ter-
ror and gained a charm
A bakd fish et any sort Is the bet-
ter for stuffing Buy your fish with
regard to the sis of paper bags It
you need a very big fellow snake up
your mind that U must be out In
fillets Two medium fish stuffed and
baked are much better than the same
weight in one Have the head and
tail out off and the scales very well
removed Wash quickly wipe dry
with a damp cloth and keep very
cold until ready to cook but do not
salt— it draws out the juices
Fish stuffing needs to be rich and
tastofuL Make It of breadcrumbs
well seasoned with butter or chopped
suet of mashed potato seasoned with
onions and tomato catsup or of e-rn-meal
beaten up with an egg and milk
and fried brown In hot bacon fat
JYlpe the fish afresh inside salt light-
ly dust -"Ith black pepper and lay
In a little lump of butter or suet Stuff
and tie firmly then season outside
grease well all over and pop Into a
well greased bag Cook twenty to
thirty-five minutes In a hot oven re-
duced after a while Sliced tomatoes
and onions or tomato catsup In the
bag with tb fish increase the flavor
admirably '
If you like fillets well browned sea-
son them after wiping clean dip In
sweet milk quickly roll lightly in
flotfr and put Into a thickly greased
bag with a lump of butter proportion-
ed to the number A pound of fillets
requires a large spoonful of butter
Cook In a hot oven ten to twenty min-
utes shifting from the high shelf to
the low or vice versa after ten mtn
utes
Stew fish with vegetables after this
fashion: Cut up In neat piece any
good white fish that is firm and
fresh Free the pieces from skin and
bone wipe well season lightly dip
In melted butter and lay together
while you pare and cut in thin slices
onions turnips carrots potatoes af
many as you like Lay a thick mass
of the sliced vegetables in the bottom
of a well greased bag sprinkle lightly
with salt and pepper then Imbed 1q
the mass as many flab strips as It will
hold without danger of crowding the
bag Put on more vegetables stick
in more fish When all are used put
In a scant cupful of slightly salted wa-
ter and a lump of butter rolled In
flour Seal bag lay It on trivet tak-
ing care that the corners are very
fast 8et upon the' grldshelf In a hot
oven for five minutes then reduce
heat at least a third and cook for half
an hour to forty minutes according
to the weight of the bag
Rich fish as salmon are delicious
cooked in wine
Any good firm-grained fish of deli-
cate flavor can be creamed In a paper
bag Cut It in thick slices wipe
clean season roll In flour and lay In
a thickly buttered bag Add a lump
of butter the size of a walnut for
each half-pound of fish and half a
pint of thick cream Seal bag tight
set on trivet cook forty minutes In
moderate oven the heat of which Is
reduced as above directed Haddock
sole flounder or white fish can be
made very excellent In this fashion
Berv with hot brown bread very
sour pickle and baked apples dress-
ed with sugar and rum or a very sour
salad

The Duka of Monmouth Blackguard or Coward
ITE1AL
t housand
armed Puri-
tans marched
through Western
England in the
early summer of
1686 singing
hymns 'at the top
of their lungs and
offering up fer-
vent prayers of
thanks that all sin was about to be
abolished and that a pious man was
leading their country back to the
“good old days" of Olivet Cromwell
The "plpus man" was James Duke
of Monmouth He bad about as much
piety as a peacock— and almost as
much beauty To this day it Is hard
to decide whether he wad more black-
guard or arrant coward Probably an
equal blend of both
Charles II of England died without a
direct heir Thus his younger broth-
er mounted the throne as King James
II Many English people hated and
distrusted King James Many politi-
cians looked on him as an enemy of
their pet schemes A large number
of Englishmen were Puritans who
were disgusted with the dissipation
and extravagance of Charles’ reign
and sighed for the graver godlier
times of Cromwell
Monmouth was the son of on Lucy)
Walters who claimed to have been
secretly married to Charles II Mon-
mouth declared he was therefore the
rightful heir to the British throne
He (and the politicians who made use
of him) said the reebrds of the mar-
riage and of his birth were hidden
In a mysterious “black box” and
would be produced at tbe proper time
Charles had publicly denied this story
But this proved little For Charles
bad bad a way of denying anything
he did not want to confess And be
had lent color to the rumor by his
great affection for young Monmouth
Now that Charles was dead and
James was on the throne In 1686
Monmouth was thrust forward by a
group of shrewd men as England’s
lawful King His advisers first
worked on the weak Duke’s ambitions
then persuaded the Puritans that he
would bring back the customs of
Cromwell They Induced1 Monmouth
to raise the flag of rebellion In the
west of England where Puritanism
was strongest Monmou(h proclaimed
himself King at Taunton and de-
clared James II had poisoned King
Charles to gain the crown
At once thousands of farmers peas-
ants and shopkeepers flocked to the
Duke's standard They were simple
y
The Old Man of
N a throne in
the huge up-
per room of a
Syrian moun-
tain castle sat an
aged man whose
snowy beard fell
to hls’walst
Grouped about him
were swarthy orl-
entals with the OLD MAN OF
wild eyes of fan- THE MOUNTAIN
attc Before him stood tbe ambassa-
dor of the Sultan The ambassador
had been sent to demand tribute and
submission on the part of the white-
haired potentate In reply the aged
man turned to one of the soldiers at
his side
"Stab yourself to the heart” be said
quietly
The soldier obeyed without a mo-
ment of hesitation Turning at ran-
dom to an attendant the whltfe-halred
man said:
"Throw yourself from that window”
In an Instant the attendant bad
hurled himself to death on tbe rocks
far below Then the white-bearded
man said to the horrified ambassa-
dor: "Return to your master the Sultan
Tell him what you have Just seen
Tell him also that I have 70000 fol-
lowers who are ready to obey me to
the death Ask him If he thinks he
can make me pay tribute or own ahy
sultan as my lord"
This is but one of a hundred dra-
matic tales told of Hassan-ben-Sabah
known and dreaded all over the world
as "The Old Man of the Mountains”
His title bras Sbetkal-Jebal “Sheik"
meaning “chief" “boss” or “old man”
(Even in those days the “boss" was
apparently called "the old man")
Hassan was the founder of a strange
fanatical seel whom be formed into
a sort of mock religious order and
whom he controlled with seemingly
supernatural tricks by hopes of a
gaudy paradise and by confusing their
minds with false theology In this
way he made them his obedient
slaves eager to do his bidding and to
die at hts command
As a Isd In a Persian school Has-
san formed a partnership wits two of
his classmates Omar and Nlsam
They agreed that whichever of them
might In later years rise to power
should befriend the other two Nlsam
became Grand Vlsler of Persia He
gave a court pension to Omar (who Is
best known to posterity as Omar
Khayyam author otThe Rubaiyat”)
honest God-fearing mn who believed
Monmouth’s promises and bated evil
living But no noblemen (except a
few exiled adventurers etc) Joined
him
At Bedgemoor in the early morning
of July 6 1666 Monmouth's troops
found themselves dose to tbe King's
army The Duke had planned a night
attack But ia the darkness bis forces
cam to a water ditch they could not
cross There unable to advance they
were attacked and routed by tbe royal
soldiery The peasants and other Pur-
itans fought like heroes and were lit-
erally cut to pieces before they would
retreat But at almost the very be-
ginning of the battle Monmouth fled In
terror leaving tbe helpless followers
to die for a man who was deserting
them (This was the last battle ever
fought on English soil) Those not
killed In fight were hunted out and
slaughtered by the soldiery of hanged
by hundreds at Judge Jeffrey's cruel
orders
Monmouth galloped away closely
pursued Later dlBgulsed as a beg-
gar he was caught In a bean field
where he had hidden In vain he went
down on his knee weeping entreating
his captors to spare him He was sent
to London Tower and was condemned
to death He offered the King any-
thing to spare him promising to be-
tray his associates change his reli-
gion— anything! 8ays Macaulay: “He
clung In agonies of supplication
around the knees of the King” But
James knew no mercy Then Mon-
mouth wrote to the Queen begging
her to Intercede for his life saying
with better fervor than spelling:
“I do abhor the thing that I have
done I detest all those
people who have brought me to this
I am an object of your pity
having been cousened and cheated In-
to this horrid business
Your pralrs cannot be refused stnoe
I am begging for life only to serve the
King"
Even this whine did not save him
though It was later reported that he
was smuggled to a French prison and
became “The Man in the Iron Mask”
yot Monmouth was really beheaded
July 15 1685 Finding' he could not
live he managed to go to the scaffold
with some show of bravery even ad-
vising the executioner bow best to
sever his head t one stroke This
advice made the executioner so nerv-
ous that he bungled the tteed
So perished the handsomest vain
est most fickle man of his time A
man unworthy to rule unworthy to
have led braver truer men to-their
ruin
the Mountains
and to Hassan be offered high office
Hassan used Nizam as a stepping
stone to his own success then mur-
dered him and his son
Next he captured a series of moun-
tain fortresses In Syria Egypt and
Persia and began bis terrible rule
He Induced young men to join him by
Inviting them to his castle drugging
them with hashish and letting them
come to their senses In a wonderfully
beautiful garden There after a
glimpse of the place's delights they
were again drugged and carried back
to the castle On coming to their
senses they were told they had really
visited Paradise In a vision and that
all Its joys should one day be theirs
If they would serve Hassan faithfully
These fanatics were sent forth to
slay all Hassan's foes or any other
persona whom he thought It best to
get rid of The Old Man’s name be-
came a horror everywhere
The 8ultan strove to crush Hassan
—and was mysteriously killed Other
potentates sought the assassin’s de-
struction Each met with a like fate
Armed forces of the government were
driven back from tbe strong mountain
castles Individual foes died leaving
no clue to their slayers No precau-
tion could save a victim From his
eyrie on the hilltops the grim old man
of the mountains sent forth hla mur-
derous emissaries on tbelr fearful mis-
sions For a man marked by them
for death there was no hope Once
the Sultan 8anjar who bad vowed
the assassin's ruin awoke In the
morning to find a dagegr sticking In
the floor beside his bed On the
weapon was a scroll to the effect that
next time the blow would be struck
closer Tb Sultan promptly made
peace with Hassan
Had the old man of the mountains
confined his atrocities to the whole-
sale killing of bis own enemies he
would have passed Into history as a
fanatical monster not as a mere
blackguard But he la said to have
reaifbd-a very tidy profit from his
crimes Rulers and men of not paid
him hug sums to buy their own
ufety - Others paid him equally
large amounts to murder their private
or political enemies
Hassan's two tons displeased him
tnd be killed them with at little re- -gret
as though they had been stran-
