'Preparing Kohl-rabi. 
<’an you tell me the best way to cook 
kohl-rabi? sirs. w. j. s. 
Both the leaves and tubers are used, 
either separately or together. The 
leaves are boiled and served like spin¬ 
ach, drained and finely chopped, sea¬ 
soned with butter, pepper and salt; the 
tubers arc peeled, sliced or cut into 
dice, boiled until tender, and served 
with melted butter or white sauce. The 
following method for using leaves and 
tubers together is very good: Strip the 
leaves from the stems, and boil in 
salted water. Peel the tubers, slice 
thin and boil till tender; drain and chop 
fine botfi leaves and tubers separately, 
then mix thoroughly. Brown a table¬ 
spoonful of butter and a little flour in 
a saucepan, add the kohl rabi and cook 
a few minutes, then add a cup of meat 
broth, bring to a boil and serve very 
hot. It may be added that this vege¬ 
table can be served in any way used 
for turnips, being very nice when sliced 
and boiled tender, and then slightly 
browned in hot butter in the frying 
pan. Sometimes the roots are peeled, 
sliced, and served raw, like radishes. 
Boiled Radishes. 
T have bad such splendid success in 
using the many fine recipes found in the 
Rural Cook Book, that I wish to tell 
you of a little discovery I have made. 
I had a fine row of radishes in my gar¬ 
den, and no one cared to eat them, so 
I thought I’d try cooking them. Wash 
and peel like potatoes, and boil \ l / 2 
hours, and serve hot, sprinkled with 
salt, pepper and vinegar. They make 
a very appetizing dish, perhaps well 
known in some localities, but new here.

Dill Pickles. 
Will you give me a recipe for dill pickles? 
MRS. A. O. V. B. 
Make a brine strong enough to bear 
up an egg, then add half as much more 
water as you have brine. Wash cucum¬ 
bers in cold water and put into a stone 
jar first a layer of cucumbers, then a 
layer of grape leaves and a layer of dill, 
using leaves and stems. Continue in 
this way until the jar is full. Pour the 
brine over all and cover, first with a 
cloth, then with a plate, putting a 
weight on top of the plate. The cloth 
must be removed and washed frequently, 
as when covering sauerkraut. 
Tomato Dip. 
Here is an old-time method of cook¬ 
ing green tomatoes, which my children 
call “tomato dip”: Put one tablespoon¬ 
ful lard in spider, and when smoking 
hot, slice in two or three onions, stir¬ 
ring till browned. Peel and slice about 
10 green tomatoes and add to the 
onions. Add a trifle water, cover, and 
when fully boiling, add one tcaspoonful 
soda. Stir often and when done, sea¬ 
son with two tablespoon fills brown 
sugar, salt and pepper, a half cup sweet 
cream, or tablespoonful butter. Break 
two slices of toasted bread in bits and 
turn tomato over it.

AT THE PARSONAGE 
Coffee Kiiiih Riot. No Longer. 
“Wife and I had a serious time of it 
while we were coffee drinkers. 
“She had gastritis, headaches, belch¬ 
ing and would have periods of sickness, 
while I secured a daily headache that 
became chronic. 
“We naturally sought relief by drugs 
without avail, for it is now plain enough 
that no drug will cure the diseases an¬ 
other drug (coffee) sets up, particularly, 
so long as the drug which causes the 
trouble is continued. 
“Finally we thought we would try 
leaving off coffee and using Postum. I 
noticed that my headaches disappeared 
like magic and my old ‘trembly’ nerv¬ 
ousness left. One day wife said, ‘Do 
you know my gastritis has gone?’ 
"One can hardly realize what Postum 
has done’ for us. 
“Then we began to talk to others. 
Wife’s father and mother were both cof¬ 
fee drinkers and sufferers. Their head¬ 
aches left entirely a short time after 
they changed from coffee to Postum. 
“I began to enquire among my parish¬ 
ioners and found to my astonishment 
that numbers of them use Postum in 
place of coffee. Many of the ministers 
who have visited our parsonage have be¬ 
come enthusiastic champions of Pos¬ 
tum.” Name given by Postum Co., Bat¬
