ARE COOKS BORN OR MADE?
There is no question but that cook
ing is an art, but there does arise a
question as to whether cooks are just
“natural born,” or whether a good
cook can be developed from study
and observation. Cooking is just like
everything else, and if one posesses
a “natural talent” for cooking it
stands to reason that they would make
a better cook than one not so inclined.
To be successful in any undertaking,
one’s efforts must be guided by per
sonal interest, or a natural love for
the work engaged in, and this being
the case, we reach the conclusion that
the best cooks are “natural-born,” but
that good cooks can be developed by
instruction.
There is no question but that the
present generation has been mater
ally benefited by the marked advance
ment in cooking methods; however,
the preparation of meat dishes is prac
tically the same to-day as it was hun
dreds of years ago, and the reason
for this is inexplicable, as there are
numberless ways in which the most
dainty, appetizing meat dishes can
be prepared. One oversight the ma
jority of cooks make in preparing
meats is their failure to use the prop
er seasoning. Meats are not fit for
eating unless properly seasoned. It
is just as reasonable and practicable
te eat bread without salt as it is to
eat meat without Gebhardt’s Eagle
Brand Chili Powder. If you want to
get the true meat flavor, and make
your soups, stews, gravies etc., with
a delicious relish, just try a little of
Gebhardt’s Eagle Brand Chili Powder
as a seasoning, and you will at once
realize how delightfully palatable you
ean make your meat dishes.
Following is a good recipe for mak
ing that famous Mexican dish “Chili
eon carne,” and is a good recipe to
preserve.
Cut into small slices one pound of
beef; also a small quantity of
chopped tallow and salt, also a
large onion and one button of gar
lic, both thoroughly chopped and
one tablespoonful of Gebhardt’s
Eagle Brand Chili Powder; add
all this to the meat and mix;
place into a graniteware pot in
which you have previously heated
two tablespoonfuis of lard; let
this cook for about ten minutes,
constantly stirring; then add one
quart of hot water; then let cook
slowly till tender. Tomatoes, Irish
potatoes, onions, etc., may be ad
ded to Chili con carne to suit
taste, while tomatoes may be
served as a separate dish. It is
customary to serve frijoles (Bayo
beans) with Chili con carne in
equal portions or separately. Soak
the beans over night in water to
which a little baking soda has
been added; pour off the old and
add fresh water, salt, add some
lard or a piece of bacon; boil un
til tender.
Be sure to specify “Gebhardt’s
Eagle brand” to insure getting the or
iginal and genuine Chili Powder. In
the manufacture of Gebhardt’s Eagle
Brand Chili Powder only the finest
Mexican Chili Peppers (grown espe
cially for this purpose) and the purest
Mexican spices are used. Your grocer
can supply you in 10c and 25c bottles,
and will also give you one of our
recipe books, “Good Things to Eat,”
free. If you are unable to find it at
your grocer, write the Gebhardt Chili

tle for 12c, all charges prepaid; or,

No matter what kind of work you want your engine to do. Whether you I
need 1-H. P. or 45-H. P.—whether you want a vertical or horizontal engine, ■
one that is portable, or of the stationary type—there is an I H C that will I
just meet your requirements. Also a line of Traction Engines in 12, 15, 20, ■
25, and 45-H. P. sizes—varied types.
The IH C line of Gasoline Engines has been developed to cover every ■
farm power need. The men who are responsible for their design and con- H
struction know conditions on the farm, and they know what is required ■
to do all farm work efficiently and economically.
The next time you are in town call on the I H C local dealer—explain the
work you want your engine to do, whether operating cream separator, feed
grinder, fanning mill, thresher, spreader, turning grind-stone, sawing wood,
etc., and he’ll show you the engine to do it—do it quickly—efficiently—and ■
economically —just as others like it are doing for thousands of other farmers. ■
He’ll show you, too, the many advantages of IHC con- ■
jg struction —points you ought to know about if you want the
8? ifpWk most satisfactory farm power you can buy.
