The Frontier Woman j
By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE
Hi there, all you nice people!
Dh goodness! A week of April
gone all ready! Where does
the time go? Before we know
it, it will be time to plant
flowers and gardens and the
kids will be counting the days
until school’s out. 1 must be
getting old for sure, or else
time wouldn’t go by so fast.

Advice io the Cook-Worn —
Nope ’taint advice to the
lovelorn we're giving, but ad
vice to the cook-worn. One
can get awfully tired of cook
ing and keeping house every
now and then.
That’s why it’s a good idea
to get out of the rut now and
then. Try a new dish. Hang
the curtains a different way,
do things differently and life
will take on a new zest.
For instance, 1 saw a kitchen
the other day papered with
sidewall pattern both sidewalls
and ceiling and I LIKED it.
One would have thought it
would have made this kitchen
seem smaller, but it didn’t. The
oil cloth tiling in this kitchen
had been painted a bright blue,
and the effect was good!
A friend of mine not want
ing to spend money for wall
paper for a hallway but
muchly desiring clean paper
in the hall, hunted up all th*>
odds and ends of wallpaper
she had on hand, and wall
papered the room with the !
plain side out and the figur
ed side in. Result: clean
looking hallway. She cut
border from a roll of wall
paper that had a bright
striped pattern. It did very
well.
You might buy an extra roll j
of a striped wallpaper and I
neatly cut the stripes from one
roll and use that as a border
for windows and doors, neatly
encircling the windows and
doors with the border. It’s
different, too.
I know a gal who bought a
hat which when she got it
home she found out was more
becoming to her when worn
backwards than when worn as
the designer had intended it.
She happened to be a person
who had the courage of her
convictions so she wore it that j
way. And she got lots of com- j
pliments Nobody ever suspec
ted.
We are getting so we are too
easily all poured from the same
mold. We are losing our indi
vidualism and with it goes
part of an American heritage, i
Have the courage to be differ- ,
ent! If you want to wear your i
hat backwards and have a house
with a red roof, for heaven sake
go ahead and do so. Phooey to
the people who think every
one in the world ought to live
by the same narrow yardstick.
If some people hadn't had
the courage of their convic
tions. we would have no
cars, or planes, or chiffon
cakes.
Somewhere in your life you
have been different. Tell us
about. We’ll bet it will make
interesting reading.

,r> the meantime, here’s an
interesting letter from Mrs.
Rose Kalkowski, of Lynch:
Dear Blanche;
Did you say you hoped for
■hicken recipes, Here’s one that
serves many purposes. It’s a
* delicious ever-ready sandwhich
spread, it helps do away with
the star boarder in the hen
house, this saves feed for the
thrifty layers. Then, too, it’s
a good way to utilize the small
hits of meat stripped from the
bony pieces of a chicken.
CHICKEN SANDWICH
SPREAD
Eight cups cooked chicken,
chopped or ground, 1 pound
olives, chopped, 1 pound pirn- ,
entoes, cut in small pieces, 1
^uart chicken broth, lk teaspoon
curry powder, 1 teaspoon
ground mace, 1 teaspoon ground
mustard, salt and white pepper
to taste.
Combine all ingredients, stir
and heat. Pack hot in jars and
process pint jars 90 minutes,
15 pounds pressure.
Another tasty sandwich
spread I can is as follows: 10
medium sized carrots, 3 green
peppers, 3 red sweet peppers,
2 tablespoons salt, 3 eggs beat
en, 1 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons
Hour, 1 cup sour cream, 1 cup
vinegar, 10 sweet pickles,
chopped. Run vegetables
through food chopper. Sprinkle
with salt and add water to
cover and let stand overnight.
Then drain, add fresh water
and cook until tender. In the
meantime, mix the dressing of
the remaining ingredients (not
the pickles) and cook until
thickened, add the hot drain
ed vegetables, and pickles.
Stir well, pack in hot jars and
seal. For variety, green toma
toes could be substituted for
the carrots.
MRS. ROSE KALKOWSKI,
Lynch, Nebraska
Mrs. Kalkowski, I'm so glad
you wrote us that good let*
ter and shared that good re
cipe with us. One of our
readers has been asking for a
good sour milk pancake re
cipe. If any one has a real
good one, why don't they j
send it to us and send along
with it some ot their favo
rite hints and helps and such?

Slick Tricks —
Speaking of chickens, a
good way to singe a chicken is
jver the burner of your oilstove
or gas burner. It does it quick
ly and neatly and there are no
black fragments as from a
newspaper or sack.
Going further in speaking of
chickens, chicken feet make an
excellent chicken soup yet
many people seemingly do not
know that they are edible.
Heme economists will always
tell you that they have a gela
tin content which makes the
best kind of soup, so save them
when you dress one, or save a
number when dressing chickens
for the freezer locker.
Before roasting a fowl, re
move the neck and simmer it
with the giblets for gravy,
soup or basis for making dress
ing. It makes a neater roast
fowl, neatly sew the nec.. shut
after filling the neck cavity
with dressing.
Want an extra special glaze
on a roast fowl- then spread it
with part of a glass of your
apple jelly. Yep, that’s what I
said — apple jelly. Remember
what I said about daring to be
different!

VETERANS PICKET RUSSIAN SHIP
MENTS ... It seemed to the Catholic war
veterans of Jersey City, N. J., that there was
little or no moral parity in a situation where
the U. S. was, on the one hand, going all out
in the fight to atop communism and, on the
other hand, continuing to ship materials and
machinery to Russia. So they protested.
Picture shows the Catholic war veterans of
Hudson county, N. J., as they picketed the
Russian freighter Chukotka at the Lehigh
Valley docks at Claremount terminal in Jer
sey City. One sign says: “Supply today,
draft tomorrow.”

rAPRIL SHOWERS~~^,
BRING MAY FLOWERS
• There is an old saying: “Plant potatoes
when most farmers don’t.” That is true
of chicks. Raise your usual flock or what
ever your own facilities will handle without
crowding. You should make some real mon
ey this fall from high egg prices and lower
feed cost.
• It takes sturdy chicks with inherited
vigor and size and from pullorum test
ed parents to resist disease and grow fast
and uniformly. TRI STATE chicks are bred
and hatched for results.
