6QVA8HEM AXD MARROWS
Rummer squashes and vegetable
marrows are becoming staple ar
ticles .of thai summer table after a
alow progress towarda popularity.
Domestlo science nnd popular cook
ing -lectures showing how to use
these vegetables -are aomo of tho
reasons.' ' Always attractive to the
eye. on conking thm many home
chefcttcs found nothing left but
water with' a' little oose In. It,
. They must be cooked quickly and
lifted and drained before they disintegrate.-
Served with butter they
have a dellcato flavor end aro much
liked When known. Another excel
lent way and one which preserves
the substance of this rather Intang
ible vegetable Is frying In batter
like egg-plant,1 which it much re
sembles . In delicacy, of flavor al
though quite distinctive. It Is a
delicate vegetable both In substance
and flavor and needs careful handl
ing to be palatable. - -
The marrows are a variety of
summer squash growing to huge
alie.. They are picked when half
grown and while tho flesh Is ten
der end cooked for the table. They
are also baked when hair matured
but care . must, be taken not to
overbake them or there will be lit
tle left but the rind. Quick cook
ing Is essential. I'or baking they
need to be. a Itttio moro mature
thah when sliced and fried in bat
ter. -'. ,-. .-....-.
The culture Is the same as tor
cucumbers' warm, well-drained
soil, thoroughly enriched wltli a
Plentiful supply of moisture. The
same army or bugs menaces the
marrow and summer squash that
(attacks tho melon ' and cucumber
and winter squashes. Protect by
the same methods ' and - poisons,
plant murrows and : summer
squashes now. They are hot-weather
plants.

Probably You ve
Heard This One
It Has a Point
Once upon a Unit), not so ninny yours go the
dircctot'8 of u newly organized company held u very
important meeting. .. ; i t -
They were deciding whether to charge $1 or ?5
i'or it patented article which tho company wus about
to put on the market. , ,
All the evidence indicated that they could profit
ably market the article for $1.
Nevertheless they set the price at $5 and main
tained it at $5 until patents expired.
This article undoubtedly saved its cost two or three
times a year and it lasts ten to twenty years. There
fore, men have asserted that the price was fair, that
the inventor and investors who made this article
available to the public were entitled to a goodly
return.
We do not venture to discuss this point but what
.we do wish to point out is this IK THAT COMPANY
HAD BEEN A PUBLIC UTILITY, IT COULD NOT
HAVE CHARGED $5.
