Ham balls are little trouble to prepare. Take 4 oz. of breadcrumbs and mix with 4 lb. of lean ham, chopped fine. Beat two eggs, add to the ham and form into balls with the *aid of a little flour, and then fry in
deep fat.

WINTER SALADS
You may think when summer is done that that's the end of salads. But actually there are certain salads that belong exclusively to the winter, as you can't get their ingredients at any other time. One is even called "winter salad" and is made: by arranging slices of cooked beetroot, potato and celery in layers, seasoning them with salad dressing and sprinkling the top with parsley,
Another is made from sliced turnips garnished with beetroot, while spinach and chopped onion mixed with a tablespoonful of oil and a few drops of vinegar and garnished with hard-boiled egg is purifying to the blood as well as delicious. If preferred the puree can be poured into a mould and turned out when cold.
