KEEP SCISSORS IN KITCHEN
Innumerable Ways in Which They
May Be of Far Greater Service
Than the Knife.
A pair of scissors in the kitchen are |
of invaluable assistance—not the lamp
scissors or the dull pair that is black |
with age, nor the garden pair, nor yet [
those with the missing points, but a
new, sharp, shiny pair that will cut
It i3 a difficult matter, for instance,
to remove the white pith from grape
fruit with a knife; one digs and jabs,
and finally cuts out the offending cen
ter and, incidentally, makes a hole In
the fruit through which the juice
drips onto the plate. Not so with the
scissors. A snip, a pull, and there it is
■without trouble or mutilation
And bacon! Ilow few women can
slice off the slippery rind, while with ,
scissors every morsel can be quickly
pared away without a vestige o!
waste. In cutting off the legs of a
lobster, in breaking open the claws
ar.d cutting through the tail, the scis- j
sors will no u.P work uncomplainingly ;
without the aid of the hammer and ice
pick.
In preparing vegetables they are In- 1
comparable. Try them in cutting the |
roots from spinach, trimming rusty
lettuce leaves, shaping flowerets of
cauliflower, and cutting up asparagus.
Dice up the pineapple with them, cut
up the meat and fish for salads, re
move the veins from shrimps, use
them for the fish fins and save your
fingers.
TOWEL DESIGNS ARE PRETTY
Natural Colors Introduced to Add to
Effect, and Results Speak for
Themselves.
When the dainty cross stitch designs
in natural colors were fashioned in
garlands from flowers and bowknots on
towels last year many declared noth- j
Ing could be prettier, but now the
darn stitch and the bias stitch, also !
ifc natural colors, have been intro- j
duced and they certainly are attrac- ■
tive.
At the present moment, however, no
towels are meeting with popular favor
like these variously termed the “medi- j
eval design," the “20th century design"
and “Venetian point”—designations
that are confusing in both period and
place. There is some excuse for this. j
as the designs show the influence of
lace’s evolution and do not cling to
any one decided type, but borrow
beauty from all. The work is done in i
a sort of buttonhole stitch, combined
with punch work.
Covering a chicken with cheese
cloth will prevent it from getting
scorched or drying too much while
roasting. When the fowl is ready |
for the oven sew it in a piece of cheese
cloth, and baste it through this cov
ering. only removing the cloth at the
time the chicken is ready to be served, j
when you will find it has an exquisite
golden brown color.
Nasturtium leaves, the tiny green !
ones, give a delicious flavor to both
hot and cold tea.
When making picnic sandwiches I
turn the loaf upside down, and you
will find that you can cut thinner and
evener slices.
Hamburg Steak and Potato.
Take a pound ot" cold boiled pota
toes, pour on them a wine glass of hot
milk or water, add a big lump of I
dripping, cold bacon fat or butter, j
mash to a pulp, then beat up with a
fork until quite light; take three-quar
ers of a pound of hamburg steak, !
make into small cakes, sprinkle a lit- 1
tie finely chopped onion on top of
each cake. Make the potato pulp into
thick, round cakes and put a cake of
hamburg steak on each. Place in a
well-gresed bag. Close and seal It; j
cook in a hot oven for 25 minutes.
Graham Nut Bread.
One cake compressed yeast dissolv
ed In cup of warm water with one tea
spoon sugar. Let stand until foamy I
Make soft sponge with four cups
warm water, two teaspoons salt, one
teaspoon lard, two tablespoons sugar. I
and white flour. Add the yeast and let
stand until very light. Mis into soft
loaf with one cup sugar, one-half cap
walnuts cut fine and two and one- !
half pounds Graham flour. Let rise
and make Into four loaves. Bake In
moderate oven one hour.
To Soften Butter.
When butter gets too hard for use
in winter fill a bowl with boiling wa- ;
ter. Allow it to stand for a few mo
ments until the bowl is thoroughly
hot Empty out the water and place
the steaming bowl over the plate of
butter. This may be done In a few
minutes before one wishes to use the
butter. There is no waste and the
flavor of the butter is not impaired as
by heating at the stove.
___________________
When Cooking Eggs.
Here is a fact worth knowing when
yon cook eggs.
A spoonful of flour added to the !
grease in which eggs are to be fried [
will prevent them from breaking or i
sticking to the pan.
Rye Sandwiches.
Cut rye bread into very thin slices
snd any fanciful shape. Spread with
a filling of cream cheese. Grate the
:heese Rub to a paste with melted
butter. Season with salt and pepper
tnd spread.

Upper Sandusky,Ohio. — “Threeyears

WOMAN WORKS OUT PROBLEM
Mrs. Sarah Erickson Declares the Hen
Lays an Egg at the Same Hour
She Was Born.
What time o’ day
Poes' a hen lay?
That question has puzzled poultry
fanciers for unnumbered decades, but
now. it seems, it has been satisfactor
ily solved by a woman. She is Mrs.
Sarah Erickson of Falconer, N. Y.
Having kept chickens for 37 years,
she believes she qualifies as an expert
in this line of effort,
“I have worked out the problem."
she declares. “By using marked leg
bands. trap nests and alarm clocks at
tached to the nests I have determined
that a hen lays an egg at the same
hour, minute and second that she was
born, or. rather, hatched. For in
stance. if the hen happened to be able
to peck its way through its shell at
7:43 a. m., she will lay an egg at pre
cisely 7:43 a. m. And she will do this
without variation every time she is in
clined to lay. 1 have kept close, sys
tematic watch on my hens for five
years, and I have never known the
rule to fail.”

Sang for Sultan.
Mulai Hafid, the ex-suitan of Moroc
co. while staying at Vichy, in France,
made an excursion to Les Ardoisieres,
says the Matin, where Napoleon III.,
used often to go for rest. Three young
girls, sisters, timidly approached the
sultan and asked him to sign post
cards. Mulai Hafid consented on con
dition that they would each sing a
song to him. Two of the girls at
once complied, and the delighted Mu
lai Hafid wrote on tlicir cards words
which, translated, mean: “Like Na
poleon III.. 1 have visited Les Ardoi
sieres, where I have enjoyed, together
with the calm and freshness of na
ture, the grace and charm of the
voices of Miles. Paulette and Clo
tilde." The third girl did not know
how to sing, but one of her sisters
having sung for her the sultan added
the name of Gabrielle.
A Hint.
Miss Vocolo—I’m never happy un
less I’m breaking into song.
Bright Young Man—Why don’t you
get the key and you won't have to
break in?
Marriage may be a tie, but It is sel
dom tongue tied.
RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum from Per
sonal Test.
No one is better able to realize the
Injurious action of caffeine—the drug
in coffee—on the heart, than the doc
tor. Tea is just as harmful as coffee
because it, too, contains the drug caf
feine.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum. he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by It. He says:
"I wish to add my testimony in re
gard to that excellent preparation—
Postum. I have had functional of
nervous heart trouble for over 15
years, and a part of the time was un
able lo attend to my business.
“I was a moderate user of coffee and
did r.ot think drinking it hurt me. But
on stopping it and using Pos:um In
stead, my heart has got all right, and
I ascribe it to the change from coffee
to Postum.
"I am prescribing it now in cases of
sickness, especially when coffee does
not agree, or affects the heart, nerves
or stomach.
“When made right it has a much bet
ter flavor than coffee, and is a vital
sustainer of the system. 1 shall con
tinue to recommend it to our people,
and I have my own case to refer to.”

Creek, Mich. Read the little book,
“The Road to WellvUle,” in pkgs.
“There’s a reason.”
Ever rend the above letter! A new
one appears from time to time. They
are genuine, true, and full of human
interest. Adv.
