CREAMED CELERY Remove the leaves from the stalks of celery; scrape off all rusted or dark spots; cut into small pieces and drop in cold water. Have boiling water ready; put the celery into it, adding a half teaspoon of salt for every quart of water. Boil until tender, leav- ing the cover partly off; drain and rinse in cold water. Make a cream sauce; drop the celery into it; heat thoroughly and serve. BOILED ONIONS Peel the onions and cut off the roots ; drop each into cold water as soon as it is peeled. When all are ready, drain and put in a saucepan well covered with boiling water, adding a teaspoon of salt for every quart of water.

Boil gently for twenty or thirty minutes and season, allowing for each quart of tomato one generous teaspoon each of salt and sugar and one tablespoon of butter.
