Did you know that 30
million sandwiches are eal
en in the United Stales ev
-ery day? Any way you look
at it, thai'i a lot of sand
wiches.
If you are one of those peo
ple who makes sandwiches,
either for the children’s or
’ husband’s lunch, for serving
al home, picnic, at the club
or at tea, then you’ll be able
to use some sandwich making
ideas.
One thing I’ve found, a
simple but good idea, is to
use the slices of - bread that
be immediately next to each
other in the loaf so sandwich
es will have even edges and
they will be easier to cut and
wrap.
You can stack two or three
sandwiches and cut them ab
at once with a sharp knife to
save time. It also saves time
to line up your sbces of bread
in pairs on a cleared work
board. Use butter or fortified
margarine and spread all slic
es of bread at the same time
and be careful to spread to
the edge of the sbce. Spread
bke fillings on alternate slic
es of bread with a flexible
bladed spatula.
Wrap each sandwich sepa
rately so that flavors won’t
mingle. ’Nuff said!
Ever use maple syrup in
bread pudding? It’s good and
the family will unanimously
vote for more.
MAPLE-NUT BREAD

Three eggs, beaten, % cup

Mrs. Cobb's Letter—
Dear Mrs. Pease:
Well, I get quite a chuck!**
out of your column as it
seems the same things happen
in every family. I guess we
are all "sisters” under the .
skin.
I wonder if the neighbor
ladies ever use ascorbic acid
when they put peaches and
apricots in the cold storage
locker?
Take one cup sugar to one
rup water for syrup, add %
teaspoon ascorbic acid to one
quart of liquid. Boil five min
utes, then cool.
Peel and slice the peach
es. put in containers, pour
syrup over them, two-thirds
full, crumple a piece of
wax paper, put on them,
then lid. This holds peach
es in syrup. They never
turn dark. I have kept them
for a year in the locker. Do
apricots the same way, only
don't peel.
If you want to use just su
gar, add teaspoon to seven
pounds sugar. 1 also fix them
for table use. They will keep
in the ice box several days
and never turn dark.
We are farmers and really
enjoy these nice cool days we
have had.
Did you know that if you
are out of cream to whip, I
heat the white of an egg, add J
a mashed banana and folks
vill never know the differ- |
ence.

Mrs. Widtfeldt's
Letter—
I^ear Mrs. Pease:
Perhaps you would be in
erested in my three hobbies.
The first is flower growing.
So far this has resulted in
nueh experience and few
dooms. But I am learning
vhat is hard anyway, and
/ith an adequate water sys
em some day, who knows,
naybe a beautiful yard.
But second is family his
tory, biographical sketches
and anecdotes. For instance,
when my grandmother
eloped at 16 against the
wishes of her parents, my
great-grandfather, who was
a Civil war veteran. and
several sons undertook to
stop them at a railroad sta
tion but it was a through
train.
She never forgot looking
ut the train window at those
angry faces as they zoomed
past.
Then my father had a car
oad of fat cattle stolen from
is pasture. And the great-un
le who traveled alone from
Nebraska to Oregon at the
ge of 90 odd years.
One time granddad lost his
emper while digging a 30
i oot well on his homestead,
fco his brother just pulled up
he rope and let him cool off.
Then too, there was the
ime of the Indian scare when
everyone went down to
'Cnollkampers. The oldest boy
ode a pony and drove the
attle and Granddad stood up
n the wagdn and played the
iolin. Grandma said all dur
ng the two or three day stay,
he worried about a tub of
utter she had left in the
pring. It was there when she
eturned.
' I’ve been gathering mater
ial and pictures and hope
someday to have an interest
ing history of personal inci
dents for our family's enter
aiment. One of them gave
me some clippings which date
back to 1827.
My third and most fascinat
ing hobby is my children, the
ittle girl, four, and the little
oy. not yet two. Their main
interests resolve between the
creek and the new kittens.

You can never be absolutely

There are millions of peo

Some women claim they
