McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK, SOUTH CAROLINA PAGE NlfSlBER SEVEN! Thursday, July 16,1931 * Spinach Salad Chop cocked spinach. Add r’—dped boiled egg and a little chopped cold tongue or ham. One egg to two cups of the spinach should be allowed and for the same amount a half cup of chopped meat. Add a half cup of toasted bread crumbs. Pack in small cups or molds and chill. When ready to serve turn out on beds of lettuce leaves and dress with mayonnaise. For Frying Next time you have any fish or croquettes to fry—anything that needs to be rolled in fine crumbs or flour—try putting the crumbs or flour on a good-sized piece of clean kitchen paper instead of on a plat ter or molding board. This will give you a larger flat surface than is possible with a platter and will spare you the rather troublesome .ask of cleaning the molding board. It is an especially good thing when there is fish to fry. Cheese on Salad Did you ever try grated cheese on salad? Use yellow cheese dry enough to be grated and then after you have added a little mayonnaise to the salad sprinkle the cheese lightly on top, or pass in a little dish with the mayonnaise. It is especially good with a salad made ■ from cold cauliflower. For luncheon some time try a salad from cooked rice that has been set to cool in small individual molds. Place one of the rice molds on each bed of lettuce, and serve with mayonnaise or home-made boiled salad dressing with grated cheese sprinkled on top. Good Dressing Sauce Tartare: To one cup of mayonnaise add a tablespoon each of finely minced olives, sweet pic kles and chives or onions. Thousand Island Dressing: To one cup of mayonnaise add two tablespoons of chili sauce, one tablespoon of chopped onion and one tablespoon of chopped pepper. Manhattan Dressing: To one cup of mayonnaise add. a finejy T chopped hard-boiled egg, one tablespoon of capers and' a table spoon of finely chopped sweet pickle. California Dressing: To one cup of mayonnaise add a quarter cup of minced ripe olives and the same amount of minced green olives. Savory Fish Cut into strips one pound of smoked fish of any kind, put over fire in cold water, let come slow ly to a boil, and boil for ten minutes. In another saucepan Heat one cup cf stock with one- fourth a cup, each, of tomato sauce and vinegar, a tablespoon of made mustard, and a few grains of cay enne. Drain the fish, saute on hot pan in one-fourth a cup of butter or fat, then add to the hot stock; thicken the butter in the pan with two tablespoons of flour; stir this into the saucepan con taining the fish and seasoned stock cover, and simmer for five minutes. Serve on a hot platter, surrounded with strips of toast. txr A woman who divorces her hus band doesn’t have to use his name, but the alimony always is conven ient.

NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR FINAL SETTLEMENT AND DISCHARGE Few county papers in the state, if any, cover the trade area of the town in which they are published more effectively than The Adver tiser covers the territory adjacent to Edgefield. Our subscription list is always open to advertisers for inspection. While the local mer chants have a medium for reach ing f **e people on whom they de pend for business, yet not a local advertisement is published in The Advertiser this week. Several Edgefield merchants who advertise nearly every week have learned from experience that advertising pays. Others should try it out. Too many of cur merchants fail to use the means ft hand to improve their business. A merchant who does not advertise is somewhat like a farmer who fails to fertilize his crop. It costs something but the retuyis are much greater than the cost. Our merchants are neglect ing an opportunity to increase their business.—Edgefield Advertiser. On the 29th day of July, 1S3L, we will make a final settlement on the estate of Joseph Hernlen, in the office of the Judge of Probate in McCormick Court House and ask for a discharge as executor and executrix.
