DRAINS AND CARRIES DISHES
IS BUILT LIKE A WARDROBE
Ik
Invention of California Man Useful for
. Homes, Hotels and
Restaurants.
An article of twofold use In homes,
hotels and restaurants Is the dish car
rier designed by a Californlan. In ad
dition to being a carrier device, this
also makes a good draining rack. The
device consists of a frame with rows
of inclined slots, somewhat resem
bling a window blind, and resting at
an angle upon supports. It is set on
a table near where the dishes are
washed, and as they are dried the
plates and saucers are placed in the
Also Useful as a Drain.
openings. Or they can be placed there
to drain before they are dried. When
the rack Is full scores of dishes can be
carried with ease and safety to the
cupboard at one trip, where otherwise
a dozen journeys would be necessary.
The effect of a stumble with this "laiy
man's load" of china is horrible to
contemplate, but the inventor Is not
expected to take clumsiness into con
sideration. Ordinarily careful people
w ill find the device a time-saver.
TO SAVE LABOR IN KITCHEN
Little Things That Will Lighten Work
During the Hot Days of Jelly
Making.
Now that the Jelly making season
Is at hand a few hints that will make
less work for the housekeeper will
not be amiss. Your jelly bag. of
course, is perfectly clean to start with.
After picking over and washing the
fruit put it right into the bag. put the
bag into a large kettle and add what
ever amount of water you desire. Boil
it this way a little longer than you
would without the bag. This way of
doing saves one the awkward task of
dipping up the hot fruit into the bag
and often scalding one's self in so
doing. When boiled sufficiently the
bag can be lifted out and set in a por
celain collender on top of the kettle
to drain and left there tin the next
day, if necessary. This is all quickly
done and one is saved the trouble of
hanging the bag up to drain, for there
never seems to be any place to hang
it out of the way. Before this plan
suggested itself to me Jelly making
was a much harder task, while now
1 do not dread it all. I would say.
however, that I have not tried It for
currants or berries, because those
fruits do not need much water or
boiling, but for green gooseberries,
grapes, rhubarb, or any of the larger
fruits it is an excellent plan.
To Brown Flour.
Browned flour is useful for making
gravies and meat sauces which look
much more appetising when of a
brown color. But brown prepared In
this way has lost some of Its thick
ening power and more must be used.
A gravy thickened with browned
flour need not be cooked after it
boils up. for the starch is cooked and
there will be no raw taste, as when
uncooked flour is added and cooked
insufficiently. Scatter two cups of
flour on a clean pan and set in the
oven to brown through. Stir often
to keep an even color and to pre
vent burning. Kept In a dry place
this flour will be very convenient.

There are also hooks on which suits

FILLING UGLY FLOOR CRACKS
Preparation That Can Be Made at
Home Will Do the Work at
Little Cost.
From any hardware dealer who
sells paints and the like for interior
decorations you will be able to get
floor cleaner and filler. If you cannot
bear this expense and have an ugly
floor to be treated you can have the
rough boards planed and fill the wide
cracks with a paste made with news
papers. Soak the papers in a tub of
water until they are reduced to a
pulp. This takes from one to three
days. Macerate them and mix with
common flour starch in which some
glue is boiled. If yon have a thin mix
ture you can add sawdust. This is
a medium smooth paste which can be
put into the cracks with the aid of
a small trowel or steel knife. Smooth
the paste as evenly as possible. In a
few days it will dry. Then give the
entire floor a coating of yeUow ochre
or ground filler. It can be purchased
by the quart. It is a dull yellow when
dry- When perfectly dry cover the
floor with floor varnish or use paint
thoroughly without the ochre. All di
rections can be obtained from the
dealer. When boards are of differ
ent width fill the cracks and paint a
colid color to hide the defects. Do
not expect a rough board floor to look
like one of waxed hardwood.
With the Meat That Is Left.
Goose Pie Cut all the meat from
the carcass of the goose; then cook
all the skin and bones with a little
water slowly for about two hoars.
When cool and the fat removed, place
a thin layer of boiled onions in the
bottom of a deep dish, dost with salt
and pepper, cover with a layer of the
goose meat cut into small pieces, add
a sprinkling of salt and pepper and
top with a light layer of diced boiled
potatoes. Continue alternating lay
ers until the dish is fnlL Poor in

of water in which the bones were
boiled; cover with a rather thick
crust and bake until well browsed.
