And a very fine matter is good legislation, But to keep people healthy, contented and quiet, 'Tis a sine qua non to begin with their diet." The meats for soups should be put in cold water and the salt added toward the last. If put in at first the meat is toughened and juices retained. Be careful to remove all scum and boil slowly. For thickening use CAPITOLA flour rubbed smooth in water or milk. If you wish the soup dark in color, use browned flour. Herbs used for seasoning soups are : sage, thyme, tarragon, mint, sweet basil, parsley, bay leaves, cloves and mace. Allspice and celery seed are used in some soups to a great advantage. Nearly all vege- tables are used in soups. The white of an egg is an ex- cellent clarifier for stock. Cream of Aspsu'agus Soup. Open one can of asparagus ; use water from the can and add to it one bay leaf, one onion, salt and pepper, also stalks of asparagus after cutting off tips, reserved to add later. After boiling ten minutes strain through a colander. In a separate vessel make a cream sauce of one heaping tablespoonful of CAPITOLA flour rubbed into one table- spoonful of melted butter ; add one pint of sweet milk. Stir constantly to keep from lumping. Add stock to this. Be- fore serving, heat asparagus tips and put in mixture. Mrs. B. H. Dunn. Bean Soup. Take dried white beans, wash and pick carefully ; cover with cold water and boil until beans are soft. Add more water as it boils away. Mash the beans ; add as much wa- ter as you want soup, tablespoonful of butter, salt and pepper to taste. Mrs. J. C. White Bouillon. Six pounds of beef and bone ; cut up the meat and break the bones ; add two quarts of cold water and simmer slowly five hours. Strain through a fine sieve, remove every par- ticle of fat ; add a little extract of onion and some chopped parsley, or leave out the onion if preferred. Mrs. W. C. Robinson. WEAR-EVER ALUMINUM UTENSILS are sanitary and economical. King Hardware Co. Dumplings for Soup. One cup of CAPITOLA flour, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of baking powder, sieved together. Add one-third cup of finely chopped suet, lard or butter, and enough milk to make a stiff dough. Form in dum- plings size of marbles, drop into soup, cover and boil ten minutes. Mrs. A. T. Spalding. Gumbo Soup. Take a chicken and fry half done, then pour over it three quarts of v^ater. Add two dozen pods of okra fried, two slices of broiled or fried middling meat, half a cabbage, chopped fine, half a dozen tomatoes, a little minced onion, a pod of red pepper, a sprig of parsley and salt to taste. Thicken with browned CAPITOLA flour. Mrs. Ellen G. Whitney. Gumbo File (Creole). Gumbo file can be made either of chicken and oysters, veal and oysters, or crabs and shrimp. Cut up the chicken or veal as for a stew, salt and pepper it, put a large table- spoonful of lard in your cooking vessel, let it get hot be- fore putting in seasoned chicken or veal ; let this fry for about fifteen minutes, then add an onion cut in small pieces, also a very small piece of garlic. When it is fried (not brown) add a large tablespoonful of CAPITOLxA. flour and let it brown, then pour in the juice of the oysters and enough of the hot water to make gumbo for four in family, pour in the water a little at a time and stir the whole so that the flour will not remain in lumps. Then put in the seasoning — salt, black and red pepper (not cayenne), a tn- blespoonful of chopped parsley, a sprig of thyme and one or two bay leaves and four or five cloves. Let the whole boil about two hours and a half. Fifteen minutes before serv- ing put in two or three dozen oysters. Let them boil. When about to serve, remove the vessel to the back of the stove, where it will keep hot, but not boil ; add about half a table- spoonful of file, if it is fresh. Take a pinch of file, sprinkle in with the left hand while you stir with the right hand. In that way you will avoid lumps of file. Let all stand for five minutes, but do not let it boil. It is then ready to be dished. Take out the bay leaves before sending to the table. At table serve a spoonful of rice in each soup plate. Mrs. M. B. Barnes. KING STEEL RANGES have stood the test of years. For Sale by King Hardware Co., 53 Peachtree St. Marrow Dumplings for Clear Broth. 10 grams beef marrow, 2 eggs, 4 grams salt, Yz tablespoon chopped parsley, 100 grams dry bread crumbs.

Take three pounds of neck mutton, cover it with half a gallon of water, cook until tender, put in allspice and cloves and flavor with sherrp wine. Serve with the meat cut in small dice. Mrs, George Sciple. Noodles. Break an, egg in a bowl and beat into it a little more than one-half cupful of CAPITOLA flour and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Work the dough with the hands until it becomes smooth. Sprinkle a moulding board with flour and roll the dough as thin as possible. It should be like a wafer. Let it lie upon the board for five minutes, then roll it up loosely, and with a sharp knife cut in slices about one-third of an inch thick. Spread these little pieces and let them dry for half an hour or more. Put on the stove a large sauce pan containing two quarts of boiling water. Add a tablespoonful of salt and after turning noodles into the water, cook them rapidly for twenty-five minutes. Turn into a colander and drain. Add noodles to any soup desired, boil five minutes and serve. Noodle Soup. Add noodles to beef or any other broth after straining. They are excellent in broth of chicken left after cooking for salad. Mrs. S. S. Wood. Oyster Soup. Beat in a tureen 2 eggs, 1 heaping tablespoonful of to- mato catsup, 1 heaping tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce, red pepper and salt to taste ; on the stove put pot with large spoonful of butter ; enough CAPITOLA flour to thicken ; after flour is brown pour on oyster yater or hot 10 GLASS MEASURING CUPS are a necessity to the suc^ cessful cook.

Heat tureen and when oysters are read}^ pour the contents of pot on mixture in tureen. Mrs. Mary Goggan Johnson. Terrapisi Soup. Take three terrapins, cut open and clean them, then scald the shells, scrape them, and put into a pot with four quarts of water ; boil until tender, then take out and pick to pieces. Place the meat again in the water. Add pepper and salt to taste. Fry a small piece of fat pork, chop it fine, and add to the soup. Thicken with browned flour, CAPITOLA; then add a teaspoonful of mace and one of allspice. When done add the juice of two lemons, one cup of claret. If the soup is not a rich brown from the flour, brown a little sugar for coloring. Mrs. Spencer R. Atkinson. Cream of Tormato. To one can of tomatoes add half pint of water, let stew, then strain through sieve, season with salt, pepper, butter and afew drops of onion juice ; thicken with one table- spoonful of CAPITOLA flour which has been rubbed smooth with a little cold water. Add half teaspoonful of soda to prevent curdling. Let one quart of milk reach boil- ing point and mix just before serving. Chopped parsley im- proves flavor. Mrs. Will Dunn. Vegetable Soup. Over a large soup bone or soup meat, pour two gallons of cold water and boil before putting in the vegetables. Into this add one-half head of finely-chopped cabbage, two or three turnips, a few pods of okra, two large white potatoes cut fine, a few stalks of celery and some parsley. After this has boiled three or four hours salt to taste and thicken with a heaping teaspoonful of CAPITOLA kour rubbed smooth with water. Some might prefer it strained, while others like the vegetables. Mrs. C. G. Lippold, FISH and OYSTERS "This dish is too good for any but anglers and very honest men." — The Complete Angler. "Now if you are ready, oysters dear, we can begin to feed." — The Walrus and the Carpenter. "Master, I marvel how the fishes live in the sea?" "Why, as men do a-land ; the great ones eat up the little ones."— Pericles. To cook fish properly is very important, as no food per- haps is so insipid if carelessly cooked. It must be well done and properly salted. A good rule to go by is the following: Allow ten minutes to the first pound and five minutes to each additional pound. For example: If you have a fish weighing five pounds, boil it thirty minutes. By pulling out a fin you may ascertain whether it is done or not. If it comes out easily and the meat is opaque white the fish has boiled long enough. Salt fish, if possible, several hours before cooking. This applies to both baked and fried fish. Heat the salt, and it will penerate to the bone more read- ily. Always put fish on to cook with hot water. To Broal Fish. Clean, wash and wipe dry. Split so that when placed flat the backbone will be in the middle, or take the bone out. Sprinkle with salt and aly inside down upon a buttered broiler over a clean fire until it is nicely colored. Then turn. When done put upon a hot dish, butter plentifully and pepper. Put a hot cover over it and send to table. Crab Stew. One dozen hard-shelled crabs (boiled), three pints milk, one tablespoon butter, half tablespoon thyme, one table- spoon Worcestershire sauce, one tablespoon Durkee's salad dressing, salt and pepper to taste. Directions : Put milk in stew pan on stove and add but- ter. Put thyme, sewed or tied, in cloth or sack, in milk. Put in a cup the Worcestershire sauce and Durkee's dress- ing, and fill cup quickly with milk, stirring it rapidly, and then pour it over the crab meat. Then put meat in stew pan with milk when boiling, but be sure there is no shell or dark piece of crab meat. Stir well, and when it again comes to a boil have the yolk of eggs mixed with a little CAPITOLA flour and a little milk ready. Pour this into the stew pan with crab meat, etc., and stir rapidly for a few minutes. Take out bag of thyme before serving, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

BREAD Here is bread which strengthens man's heart, and is therefore called the stafif of life. — Henry. The three important requisites to the making of good bread are : Good flour, good fresh yeast and strength and endurance to knead or work it well. No book can alone teach the art. Experience is the school from which we must gain our best knowledge. First of all we must have good flour. Good flour adheres to the hand, and is of a creamy tint, bad flour has a dingy blue tint and will not adhere to the hand. When bread is set to rise cover tight- ly, set in a warm place in winter. When it is worked for the last time allow it to rise to its full capacity, so as to avoid cracked, split and broken loaves. The oven for baking bread should be rather quick and the heat reg- ular, in order to penetrate the dough without causing the outside to get hard. The oven door should be kept closed until the dough becomes firm, as the cool air is very in- jurious to bread. As soon as the bread is well soaked take from the pan and put where the air can pass around it. If you like the crust crisp do not cover the bread. If a soft crust is preferred wrap the loaves in a thick cloth while hot. If bread is cut while warm a hot knife must be used. Let all loaves be thoroughly soaked ; to tell when they are done run a skewer into the center. If it comes out free from dough the bread is done. Bread should bake an hour if the loaves are large. Brown Bread. Two cups yellow cornmeal, 1 pint milk, ^ teaspoon salt, 1 cup rye meal, ^ cup molasses, 2 teaspoons baking pow- der, 1 egg, mix all dry ingredients, add molasses, egg and milk to form a batter, pour into a well-greased mould hav- ing a tight-fitting cover and steam four hours. Msr. E. M .Yow. Boston Brown Bread. Two small cups cornmeal, 2 cups unsifted Graham flour, 2 cups sweet milk, 3/2 cup water, 1 cup molasses, 1 level teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon yeast powder, }^ teaspoon salt, mix well, putting soda in last, after dissolving it in milk or water. Pour into a five-pound pail and after covering tightly set into a pan of water, also covered, and boil four hours. Take care that the water does not boil fow. Grease 17 BLUE VALLEY BUTTER— It stands the test on hot cakes. the pail inside, having the bottom covered with well- greased paper to keep loaf from sticking. Mrs. Carlton Miller. Soft Egg Bread. One quart milk, 1/2 pint meal, 1 teacup boiled rice, 1 heaping spoon butter, 3 eggs beaten light. Bake in deep dish. Mrs. J. Powers Pace. Excellent Com Bread. Two cups meal, 1 cup sweet milk, 2 eggs, 1 heaping table- spoon CAPITOLA flour, 1 heaping teaspoon lard, little salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Mrs. Hattie Sims. Virginia Com Bread. One pint cornmeal, 10 eggs, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 cooking spoon of lard, whip the eggs lightly, add the meal, lard, salt and baking powder, then a pint of boiling hot water, stirring constantly. Bake immediately in a hot oven. Mrs. Spencer R. Atkinson. Graham Bread. Set the sponge to rise over night, using milk instead of water, and adding for every 3 quarts CAPITOLA flour a cup of molasses. In the morning add a little salt and enough flour to make a dough just thick enough not to be moulded. Put in baking tins to rise, and when light bake in a moderate oven. Do not mould at all. Graham bread should be made soft. Moulding spoils the bread, making it hard, dry and chippy. Mrs. E. H. Carroll. Nut Bread.

MEATS "Upon what meat doth this one Caesar feed, that he has grown so great?" "There's no want of meats, sir; portly and curious viands are prepared to please all kinds of appetites. — Messenger. It is very essential that we understand how to select meat. Beef should be a bright red in color, fine grained and smooth, and when pinched with fingers should be ten- der. The choicest pieces for roasting are the sirloin and middle ribs. Veal must be firm and dry, fine grained and delicate pink in color. Mutton is good when the flesh is dark red in color, close grained, firm and juicy, the fat firm and white. Pork: If young the lean will break when mashed with fingers, if the rind is rough and hard it is old. This meat is more liable to disease than any other animal meat. The person doing the marketing should be particular to buy from reliable butchers and some one known to purchaser. If the meat is clammy the pork is bad. If the fat has ker- nels in it the pig has been measly. If the flesh is very red it signifies scarlet fever. Pork is the driest and fattest of meat. Venison must be fat, else it is unfit for use. The success of roasting depends on the heat of the fire. Meat placed in a cool oven loses its juices and the result is a tough, tasteless roast; whereas if the oven is hot the pores of the meat are immediately closed and the juices re- tained. The oven should be hottest when the meat is first put in, so that the surface will be quickly crisped. When the oven is too hot to hold the hand in a moment, it is then ready for the meat. The time required for roasting will vary according to thickness of roast, about fifteen or twen- ty minutes allowed to pound. In preparing a roast it should first be washed in pure water, then thoroughly dried with a clean towel, placed in a baking pan without any seasoning ; lay some pieces of suet or cold dripping under it, but no water should be put in the pan, for this has a tendency to soften the outside of the meat, the steam preventing the crispness so desirable. It should be frequently basted with its own drippings and seasoned when partly cooked. In cooking lamb, pork and veal the fire should be slower and the meat cooked until it leaves the bone and is nicely browned without burning. An -onion sliced on top of roast 26 TOLEDO STEAM COOKERS cook a whole meal over one gas flame. King Hardware Co. gives a nice flavor, especially to pork, the onion being re- moved before serving. Drawing pieces of fat pork through the upper surface of meat is called larding and is done with a larding needle, which can be procured from house furnishing stores. Stewing meat should be put in boiling water, closely covered and slowly boiled. When tender season. Salt meats must be covered with cold water and slowly boiled, requiring about thirty minutes to the pound after boiling has commenced. If very salty it should be soaked over night or, pour off first boiling water and place in sec- ond boiling water. After the boiling starts the pot should never stop simmering. When meats are found frozen, if thawed by placing in warm water or before the fire, it will certainly spoil them and render them unfit for use. The only way to thaw is by putting them in cold water. This should be done in time to have them well thawed before cooking. Roast Beef. Remember, the chief point in roasting beef is to have the oven well heated when meat is first put in. This prevents the escape of the juices. Take a rib piece or loin roast of seven pounds or eight, wipe it thoroughly all over with a clean wet cloth, lay in baking pan, and baste well with but- ter or suet fat. Set in oven. Baste frequently with its own drippings, which will make it brown and tender. When partly done, season with salt and pepper, as it hardens any meat to salt it when raw and draws out its juices ; then dredge with sifted flour to give it a frothy appearance. It will take a roast of this size about two hours' time to be properly done, leaving the inside a little rare or red — half an hour less would make the inside quite rare. Remove the beef to a heated dish, set where it will keep hot ; then skim the drippings from all the fat, add a tablespoonful of sifted CAPITOLA flour, a little pepper and a teacupful of boiling water. Boil up once and serve hot in a gravy boat. Some prefer the clear gravy without the thickening. Serve with mustard or grated horseradish. Mrs. A. H. VanDyke. Baked Hash. One can of roast beef or its equal in cold roast ; one cup boiled potatoes, chopped fine ; one-half cup cracker crumbs, one-half cup butter, onion to taste, one-half cup water, a . 27 KING BEE OIL COOK STOVES have many points of su- periority.

Thicken this and pour over the meat. The brains should be well boiled before mixing with eggs. You may add mush- rooms, sherry or Worcestershire sauce. Mrs. Will Green. To Boil a Ham. A blade of mace, a few cloves, a sprig of thyme and two bay leaves. Soak ham well in large quantity of water for 24 hours, then trim and scrape very clean ; put into a large stew pan with more than sul^cient water to cover it ; put in mace, cloves, thyme and bay leaves. Boil four or five hours according to weight ; when done let it become colld in liquor in which it was boiled, then remove rind carefully without injuring the fat; press cloth over it to absorb as much of the grease as possible. It is always improved by setting into the oven for nearly an hour, till much of the fat dries out, and also makes it more tender. Shake some bread raspings over the fat ; serve cold, gar- nished with parsley. Mrs. J. D. Carter. Pilau, Fine for Camping Tours. Take equal parts of venison, turkey, quail, duck and a small amount of middling meat; boil together; when thoroughly cooked remove all bones, skin and gristle.

Put chick- ens and liver in water with a lot of pepper to suit taste. You want it hot, but not too much (you will have to learn this by experience). Boil until meat leaves bones; then separate meat from bones. Put with liver in wooden ves- sel, and chop fine with chopping knife or grind in sausage mill. Then put back in same liquor cooked in, adding all other ingredients, and boil to right consistency. After add- ing corn and milk you will have to keep continually stir- ring with woden paddle to keep from scorching, as it is very easily scorched. Salt to taste. It takes about three hours to boil down after all ingredients are in. The above amount is enough for about a dozen people. A pint of port wine added just before it is served improves it. Park Woodward. Brunswick Stew, No. 2.

"Let's carve him as a dish fit for the gods — not hew him as a carcass." — Julius Caesar. Roast Turkey. Pick and draw with care, wash in several waters, wipe dry. In the next to last rinsing water put a teaspoonful of baking soda. Oftentimes the inside of a fowl is very sour, especially if not freshly killed. Soda is cleansing and cor- rects the acidity that we sometimes taste in the dressing when the fowls are not fresh. After rinsing with soda water dry well inside and out, rub some salt on inside, then stuff the breast and body with a good fowl dressing; sew up the turkey with a strong thread, tie the legs and wings to the body, rub it well all over with soft butter, sprinkle well with salt and pepper, dredge with a little CAPITOLA flour, place in a dripping pan, pour in cup of boiling wa- ter, cover entirely with a nice brown paper well greased, set in oven. Baste the turkey often , turning it around occasionally, so that every part will be uniformly baked. When pierced with a fork and the liquid runs perfectly clear, the turkey is done. Serve with cranberry sauce. The garnishes for turkey are fried oysters, slices of lemon, par- sley or force meat balls. Turkey Dressing. Cut the brown crust from slices or pieces of stale bread until you have as much as the inside of a pound loaf, put it in a suitable dish, and pour tepid water (not warm, for that makes it heavy) over it, let stand one minute, as it soaks very quickly. Now take up a handful at a time and squeeze it hard and dry with both hands, placing it as you go along in another dish. This process makes it very light. When all is pressed dry, toss it all up lightly through your fingers. Now add salt and pepper, about a teaspoonful, also a teaspoonful of powdered savory, the same amount of sage, or the green herb minced fine, add a half-cup of melted butter and a well-beaten egg, work thoroughly all together and it is ready to stufi" the fowl with. It is much improved by adding a pint of oysters without their beards. Turkey Gravy. When you put the turkey in to roast, put the neck, heart, liver and gizzard into a stew pan with a pint of water; boil until they are quite tender, take from water, chop the heart 33 BLUE VALLEY BUTTER, the best spread for braed. and gizzard, mash the liver and throw away the neck, re- turn the chopped heart, gizzard and liver to the liquor in which they were stewed ; set to one side, and when the turkey is done this should be added to the gravy that dripped from the turkey, having first skimmed off the fat from the surface of the dripping pan ; set it all over the fire, boil three minutes and thicken with flour. It will not need brown flour to color the gravy. Chicken Croquettes, No. L One chicken about 3^ pounds, boil and put through a meat chopper, make a cream dressing, using two table- spoons of butter, two tablespoons CAPITOLA flour (heap- ing), put in a saucepan and let melt till hot and smooth, add one and a half cups of hot sweet milk, pour on chicken, season with chopped parsley, pepper, salt and lemon peel (grated), make into shapes, crumb, dip in egg crumb again and fry in hot COTTOLENE till a pretty brown.

SAUCES "It is tlu- bounty of nature that we live, but of philosophy that we live well."— Seneca. The sauce-maker who is successful must pay strict atten- tion to details, for upon them rests the delicate flavor so desirable. Nothing but the choicest materials must be used. The taste of stale and inferior ones cannot be disguised by profusely seasoning as some cooks imagine. To make a good sauce of the proper consistency, having the ingre- dients so proportioned that the presence of no particular one is perceptible, is an accomplishment of which any housewife may well be proud. The sweet sauce is to the pudding and similar dessert what the sauce picmante is to meats — it adds the finishing touch to the latter and accen- tuates the savoriness of the dish it accompanies. Cranberry Sauce. Pick a quart of cranberries, wash and drain and put to boil in a sauce pan with half a teacupful of water. Stew slowly, stir often till thick. Take from the fire, strain through a sieve, sweeten abundantly with granulated sug- ar ; wet a mold with cold water, pour in the sauce and set away in a cool place to get firm, then turn out in a glass bowl. Eat with roast turkey, ducks, geese and game of any kind. Never sweeten while cooking, it injures the color. Mrs. R. J. Scott. Cream Salad Dressing. Two tablespoons butter, one tablespoon CAPITOLA flour, one-half cup vinegar, one cup sw^eet milk, one tea- spoon sugar, one teaspoon salt, one-half teaspoon mustard, a little pepper, yolks of two eggs.

Take two hard-boiled eggs, lay them into cold water until quite cold, put the yolks into a 'small bowl, mash the eggs very fine, add the yolks of two raw eggs, one large tablespoon of dry mustard, a very little cayenne pepper. Stir this well, always one way ; when well-mixed add a very little" sweet oil, stirring all the time. After this is mixed well put in more, very little at a time, until you have used a third of a bottle, then add a large spoonful of vinegar, then more oil, using in all two-thirds of a bottle of oil, then another spoonful of vinegar. When mixed it must be very light and a good color. Set it on the ice for two or three hours. Not more than twenty minutes before using the salad mix it and prepare for the table by putting %vith the meat about half of the dressing; stir it up well. KING BEE and GURNEY REFRIGERATORS are buJlt for small ice consusnption.

Cake Without Butter — Beat the yolks of eggs un- til light and thick, add sugar gradually, beating all the time, then liquid flavoring and sifted flour, the latter mixed with baking powder. Fold in last the well-beaten whites. Second. Cake With Butter — Cream the butter until light, add the sugar gradually, beating until light and creamy, then the well-beaten yolks and flavoring. Beat in alternately the liquid and sifted flour, the latter mixed with the yeast powder. After this stir in lightly the beaten whites. Notes on Cake Making. Spices when called for must be ground finely and thoroughly mixed together. Fruits and nuts must be cut in small pieces and dredged with flour before adding to batter. Blanch almonds, remove seeds from raisons, dates, etc., before measuring. Line loaf cake pans with buttered paper, fruit cakes, use several thicknesses of paper. When cutting fresh cake use a hot knife, as this prevents crumb- • ling. Time Table for Baking Cakes. Sponge cake, ^ of an hour. Fruit cake, 3 and 4 hours, according to size. Pound cake, 1 hour. Small cakes, cookies, etc., 10 to 15 minutes. Notes on Baking Cakes. Cakes without butter should have a quicker oven than those of same size containing butter. To test the tem- perature of the stove, sprinkle a little flour inside and shut the door for about 3 minutes. If at the end of that time it is a light rich brown, the cake may be put in, but if burned the heat must be reduced. Insert a clean broom straw into middle of cake to test. If done, the straw will come out clean. N. B.— In the following recipes, unless otherwise speci- fied, sweet milk and granulated sugar are used. General Directions for Boiling Icing.

FROZEN CREAMS AND ICES "Then farewell heat and welcome frost." — Merchant of Venice. "But then my fare was all so light and delicate; It would not bear a bite — no not a munch — But melted away like ice." — Hood. Before beginning see that the freezer is clean and sweet. Scald the can, lid and dasher thoroughly. Adjust the can and dasher properly before putting in any ice and salt. Chip the ice in fine pieces, the finer the better, mix coarse rock salt thoroughly with the chipped ice in the proportion of three parts of ice to one of salt, then fill the tub of freezer to top and keep it full during the freezing process. Turn the crank slowly until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, then turn steadily and quickly till it is hard to turn. See that the hole near the top of the tub is always open. The can of- freezer should never be filled more than two-thirds full of the mixture to be frozen. After the cream is frozen and dasher removed push down the salt and ice, put new ice and salt in, cover with an old piece of carpet and set away one or two hours to ripen. Bavarian Cream.

It is but a step forard from hoe caik to plum puddin', but it's a mile and a half by the nearest road when we have to go back again. — Josh Billings. Granulated sugar is preferable for making candy. It should not be stirred while boiling ; cream of tartar should not be added until syrup begins to boil ; butter should be put in when candy is almost done.

It is done when the candy forms a little soft ball in th^ bottom of the cup. When taken from the fire it must be beaten until perfectly cream- ed and begins to be heavy, then pour in a buttered plate, and when cool cut in little blocks. Miss Nell Fuller. Cooked Fondant. For cooked creams take two cupfuls of granulated sugar, water enough to wet thoroughly, which will be about two tablespoonfuls, put the sugar and water on in an unstained porcelain pan, and let it boil without stirring until it reach- es the thread degree, i. e., until a thread will form from the drops from a spoonful of the candy, pour out upon a marble slab and work with a wooden paddle. First stir around with the paddle, when begins to cream, work with the pad- dle and hands until the fondant is perfectly smooth and without grains.

The flame should be bluish, which shows proper and economical air mixture through ports at front. The big burner is for fast cooking or when a large vessel is used. The other top burners are for ordinary use. The simmering burner is quite useful when food has been raised to boiling point on the other burners. In using the oven, remember it's hottest at the top, because heat rises. To roast meat, have the oven hot with both burners on, then place the meat inside broiler oven close under the flame, leaving door open, bear the meat all over thus, to hold the juices in. Extinguish one burner, lower the meat close the door. When roast is half done, add salt and pepper and turn it over to cook on other side. Flour may be added at this time, to brown for gravy. Allow 15 to 20 minutes to the pound for beef, etc., and 25 minutes to the pound for pork, veal, lamb. Don't boil the roast beforehand. Don t use a roaster or top on the pan. Cook poultry same way, except in oven. When done, joints will break. Cookies and small cakes should be baked quickly. Heat the oven 10 minutes. Then put them in near top of oven. For baking layer cakes, heat oven 2 minutes, place layers on top rack and turn down both burners one-fourth. Bake 15 to 20 minutes with this heat. Bread baking takes from 45 to 60 minutes, according to size of loaf. Bread should be placed about three inches from bottoni ot oven, after oven has been heated 10 minutes. Reduce heat one-half when bread goes in About five minutes before bread is done, turn oflf oven heat and let it finish baking. For loaf cake baking, use bright tin pan Heat oven two minutes with both burners. Fill cake pan about half (allowance for rising) Put cake on rack second from bottom and turn out one burner. Reduce the remaining burner one-fourth. Cook straight through with this heat Call our demon- strators for other directoins about cooking fruit cakes and pound cakes. To broil steak, heat oven 10 minutes, put meat on wire rack as near under flame as possible without burning and turn every ^wo or ^hree min- utes. Leave broiler oven door open to keep meat from catching fire, bteak should not be broiled beyond point where it is fluffy and juicy. A neglected gas range is like anything else; it becomes defective. Proper care is important. Keep the drip tray clean by washing frequently. Now and then scrub it with a stifl brush and some good sand soap. Clean too burners in two quarts hot water to one tablespoon of soda, or in a strong solution of lye and hot water. Dry by lighting gas a minute. \fter oven is used, leave door open to dry air inside and prevent rvist While range is warrn wipe burners and oven with cheesecloth moistened with three^parts cookikg oil and one part kerosene, or with unsalted grease. If anything gets out of order about your gas range or any other gas appliance in your home, our services are at your command. Call Main 4y4D or Atlanta 252.
