what they are getting when they pay 81

Tip for the Cook.
"Let all those who wish to be considered
sood cooks avoid monotony aoove an
thing." advises one famous cook. "It Is
qufte possible to starve Jn the midst or
Dlentv-that Is to say, we may cat, day
after dav, of a substance which Is very
nourishing In Itself, and yet derive no
benefit from it.
'Strive, then, to have variety, and strive
to have each dish as 'tasty' as possible.
"Fggs, for Instance, can be cooked In a
greet mnny ways, and yet some people's
sole Idea of cooking an egg Is to boll It, or
try It, until It is leathery and Indigestible.
"It Is not merely to pamper the appetite
that I would urge you to make everything
as tasty as possible. ,
'"Taste, and a variety of tastes, are nec
essary to the digestion as well as the en
joyment of food.
"It has been satisfactorily proved by
scientific experiment that no man can be
iroperly nourished on tasteless food. The
taste and smell of food cause the digestive
lulees to flow more abundantly.
"Believe me. attention to such little
things will repay you a hundred fold."
Mow Cle" Carpets.
The Housekeeper offers . the following
method for cleaning carpets, with the as
siirancs that it has been tested' and was
secured from a professional:
First have the carpet cWned In the usual
manner and tacked down on the floor,
where it is to remain permanently, and It
Is ready for the cleansing process. Take
one and a half pounds of the best white
laundry soap, ooo-half pound of white oik
bark, three-jaurter of a pound of borax,
one-fourth pound of fuller's earth, one-half
pint of wood alcohol, one-half pint of am

Making- Bread.
When bread molds or tastes musty In a
day or two after It Is baked. It shows that
there Is something wrong with, tho flour,'
There are several kinds of molds which
will give a musty smell to the breail with-
out decomposing. It, These are apt to bs
present In flour that has been kept In a'
damp place, ana low grade flour often
contains them In a large quantity. The
baking process kills the organisms, hut tho
musty flavor Is not killed even by Uie
heat. Also, the chemical character of the
bread Is changed to one which favors the
growth of any basteiia which may exist
French bread Is always sweet and good.
according to the way ln which It is baked.
A French baker never mr.kes a thick loaf,
no matter what the shape. The loaves are
fwo-thlrds crust and are so thin that the
heat strikes .thrbugh them almost as soon
as they are, put la the oven. This stops all
fermentation, while In a large loaf the
process; goes on a long time before it Is put
ln the oven and part of tho sweetness Is
lost.
Another point which helps make the pecu
liar sweetness of French bread is that It
Is baked a long time ln an oven that is
made "slow" after the first few minutes.
The glazing of the loaf Is produced by a
plpo with which professional French bakers
throw steam Into the oven and the moist

British gum. It la, however, the glaze
