EGGS CREOLE Three tablespoons onion, three tablespoons chopped green pep per, two tablespoons melted fat, 1*6 cups cooked or canned toma toes, four eggs, 2/3 cup water, 1/3 cup uncooked rice, Yz tea spoon salt, pepper.

Cover and cook over low heat until rice is tender—25 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally with a fork to keep from sticking. If the rice be comes dry, add a little more wa ter.

Dear Mrs. Pease: As I write, the road machines are making short work of the trees across the way, and I can not help contrasting the speed with which they are clearing the land with the labor our grand fathers exerted when they want ed to remove trees and stumps. I find it fascinating to watch the huge caterpillar bump into a big tree, toppling it over with a few shoves. I certainly do not envy the men who operate that machine, either. Sometimes it seems almost to stand upright. While we, like everyone else, wish it would rain, the ground ! really isn’t very dry. Our hedge had to be moved because the widened (is there such a word?) 1 road will take up that space. So 1 we decided to put the shrubs along the driveway, and were surprised to find the soil so, moist.. I wonder if others who have frozen pears for the locker have been disappointed at their ‘mushiness” when they thawed, j At first, I felt badly about it, but ' I have discovered that the mushy pears make a delightful 1 dessert when whipped into par tially cooled jell-o. The flavor | of the jell-o seems to make no difference whatever. Recently I have read a num ber of articles concerning the menace of the comics, and I wondered if my niece’s solution might help some other mother. She has a 4-year-old daughter who “loves” books and maga zines. Not wanting her to grow up on comics, the mother allow ed the chiid to choose a book whenever they went into a store which sold them. The child is astablishing quite a library for herself, and my niece says it is funny to see the clerks stare when this tiny tot says, “Where is the book department, please?” The road machine has moved over to our property and I can’t resist watching to see what hap pens next!

Hugh Butler (R.-Neb.) recently issued a statement an nouncing the progress before the senate finance committee. The senator discussed the pro posed changes relating to in creased exemption allowances for dependent children, medical expenses, and the proposal which will permit farmers to de duct soil and water coservation expenses as an ordinary business expense. Butler emphasized that these proposed changes are not yet law, but he predicted speedy ap proval. “Such changes as may be made will likely be of a minor nature and of no material sign ificance,” the Senator said. “Proper classification of soil conservation expenses are of particular interest to me,” But ler added. “I have introduced a similar amendment several times in congress, but was un able to get it through the con gressional mill. With the support of the present administration, I am confident of early congres sional approval,” Butler contin ued. Butler is ranking member of the senate finance committee which is now working on this bill in executive session. “There is still quite a bit of work to be done,” the senator said, “but I believe the bill will pass the sen ate and be ready for the presi dent’s signature within two months.” The Frontier for printing . . prompt deliveries. )n the market that is wonderful < or cleaning and waxing white enameled cupDoards, woodwork 1 ind such. In fact, I use it on my ' oirch cupboards. Good House- > keeping queried the company ' about its use on varnished sur faces and the reply was that it ■ would work on any painted or ■ varnished surfaces. Try it, too, ' for your refrigerator, the outside of the bathtub and such places. . It cleans and waxes all in one operation and makes your clean ing chores so much easier. Try it, too, for Venetian blinds and such articles. Dust slides off easier, grime doesn’t collect as fast, and it generally does a good cleaning and waxing job. Don’t be so old-fashioned that >ou are afraid to try new prod- ; ucts and ideas. There is a prepa ration (powder) now on the market made especially to use in making a solution for scrub bing floors and washing walls. It does the job so much more quickly than the old soap and water way that there is no com parison. Have you tried the sponge mops? I have had one for sev eral years and it’s fine for mop ping linoleum and tile floors. You can purchase new refills and I keep one refill on hand to use on walls. It can also be used to wash windows if you keep one on hand just for that The handle makes the work easier. And, by the way, have you tried washing the kitchen walls with a sponge? It is so much easier and gets the grime off better than a cloth. At least, we think so at our house.
