S'maU Quantity Cooking!
The makers of ourcook books have
always assumed that the average fam
ily has six membersan assumption
wJ)jch..,ofter Jeaves the inexperienced
cook without definite guide. Also at
times these same cook books give
quantities' sufficient for only four per-
sorts; or they may jump to eight peo
ple quantities,. The suggestions given
below may prove a guide to some per
plexed npusewiie. .
14 Dividing a Recipe.
.When a housewife has decided what
part, of a. recipe to prepare she must
look well to her mathematics, for one
fourth.of a recipe means just exactly
one-fourth of . the amount of sugar,
of flour,, etc Further, that smaller
measurement must be taken more ac
curately than the larger, for. a mis
take or one taolespoontui on one
fourth cup of' material is as great as
'he mistake of. one'-fourth cupful on
ne ; cuptui or material. Anyone
-ealizes, on the face of it, how serious
he latter mistake is, but the smaller

i'uls, etc.. should be measured exactly
level, for, the, reason discussed above..
... . . Tine of Cooking.
Another difficulty in dividing
recipes is the. change in time of cook
ing, . Some foods, require just as long
to cook whether a small amount is
prepared or a large amount for ex
ample, vegetables, stews and cereals.
But in baking, small pans of material
never require so long a time as large
ones, . and small quantities of sauces
and syrups get done faster than large
amounts, . Then-, some - foods, like
cereals, require as much time but one
must ,allow" for extra evaporation
from' "a large, surface and a relatively
small .amount of material Thus a
, pudding may ' come . out rather stiff
when Only two portions are made; yet
the., recipe is accurate enough if the
full: amount " made. One should al-

On top of the inherent difficulties
in dividing recipes there is frequently
the added one that the small quantity
cook is a novice with the double prob
lem of cooking at all and cooking in
the difficult small fashion. Nothing
but time will overcome this last trou
ble.

such a Beginner tnere is an excellent

The-ethletet the- artist, the farmer

The housekeeptfrwho has seen long

terms, ''o-try irat fat; to render fat,
to clarify fat, and cracklings," mean,
but there are hundred of housekeep
ers and thousands of near-housekeepers
who are a bit vague on the sub
ject Hence this glossary on fats.
TO TRY OUT FAT Cut fats
into small pieces and put in double

slowly several hours. ' When fat is

If color and flavor are not satisfac
tory the nrocess mav be repeated sev

CLARIFYING FAT-r- Place fat in
a ste'w pan with several quarts of wa
ter and heat it to the boiling point
Pour into a larger pan and add sev
eral quarts of cold water. When the
fat has formed in a cake on top of the
water, remove layer of fat and place
in frvinar nan. heat irentlv and cook
until it has ceased to bubble and the
sediment has settled at the bottom,
then strain through a cheese cloth.
Note; Raw notatoes or charcoal
will, help to clarify fat after it has
been used for frying.
Rancid butter washed in chloride of
lime water and then rinsed in clear
water will become sweet again.
Washing the butter, in sweet fresh
milk will often remove disagreeable
odors it may have absorbed.

The Wheat in a
Wheatless Day
She said with pride as she asked for
a rye bread sandwich, "This is my
wheatless day." And she did have
nice hot corn bread for breakfast in
stead of white toast, she did have a
rye bread sandwich for lunch and no
bread at all for .dinner, but still her
day was not wheatless.
. It was, to be sure, her wheatless
bread day, but wheat is not used for
bread alone. . .
( This is the case pretty generally
with many of us; wheat means just
bread, simply that and nothing more,
Crackers are crackers, not a mixture
of wheat and water, macaroni is maca
roni, not so much wheat and so much
water. Cake is cake r. to be sure it is
made from butter, sugar, flour and an
egg, we know that, but to many of us
that does not mean wheat

Nevada Woman to
Run for U, S. Senate
Miss Anne Martin of Nevada, vice
chairman of the National Woman's
party, has announced her candidacy
for tne United States senate' to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Newlands.
With the formal entrance of Miss
Martin into the campaign, the coun
try next fall will witness two contests
by women for places in the senate.
Although she has not formally an
nounced her candidacy. Miss Jeannette
Rankin, the member of congress from
Montana, expects to be a candidate
for the republican nomination for the
senate in her home state.
Miss Martin's announcement fol
lows: I am announcing my eaadldaey fer the
United 8tte aenate became I believe that
the time ha come when tbl nation ahould
atteat Hi faith In democracy and the pewer
of aelf-government of all Its people by the
election ot a woman ta Its hlaheet lealeU
ttv body. I believe that the crucial prob
leme which thl nation now facet are prob
lem which women can help solve and which
Juatlce demand they should have a vote
In aolvlnr
The wr w ara watins I on In which
social and Industrial readjustment Is the
first CMentlal to aucceas The peace which
will follow thla war will bring with It
the aoclal and Industrial reorganisation of
the war. Thl readjuatment for war, thl
reorganisation for peace cannot be mad
uocessfully without the constructive co
operation of women. The welfare f women
demand their preseno In both houses of
congress, snd the welfare ot the nation
demands It.
It Is not an accident that women are
coming Into freedom and power at thl
moment ot world reorganisation. The com
ing of women into politic means a liberal
political fare unhampered by tradition.
We must aocept our reeponslblllty. Women
mutt utilise their power ta the utmost. To
maintain the new civilisation which ap
proaches will require the united and un
restrained power of men and women both.
Then are In general my reasons for seeking
a seat In the senate. t
Concretely there are among other four
problem which I hav long studied In
Nevada, and through which I believe I
eould at thlt time erv my state and
nation. .
They Jtn the development' of the land
In the Interests of the people, the conserva
tion of water, the elimination of long estab
lished railway discrimination tgalnat Nevada
in freight ratee. and the protection by fed
eral agencies of seasonal farm labor and Its
transfer from region to region in the In
terest! ot both the farmer and the laborer.
Won Eight-Hour Fight.
Miss Martin organized her native
state for woman suffrage and carried
it in the face1 of opposition from both
political machines. Another success
she 'had was her campaign for an
eight-hour law in Nevada, which was
) 1 '
enacted by the last legistature in
Nevada.
Miss Martin is progressive in her
ideals, fond of outdoor life and ath
letics. She is an enthusiastic tennis
player and held the state champion
ship for three years. She also is a
mountain climber of note. .
