Rice ii one of the most nourish
ing and easily digested cereals. It
is comparatively inexpensive and
there is no waste. Besides it is fill
ing! To be its best light and fluffy
which comes from thorough cook
ing, a fireless cooker is ideal, for it
gives a long, slow steaming at mini
mum cost? The whole grain of the
rice is broken and when used as a
cereal for breakfast it is best pre
pared this way. However, rice is
apt to be rather flavorless, so mild is
the natural taste of the. grain, unless
combined ' with other flavors and
foods. RaisinS added to it for
either a cereal or a pudding makes
it more tempting to most people. To
c&ok it for this purpose, when us
ing a double boiler fill the boiler
with boiling water and add five parts
of boiling wate: salted to one part
rice. When nearly done, the last half
hour,. add the raisins. If added be
fore, they discolor its snowy white
ness". Instead of cream, brown
sugar syrup or fruit juices are a
very palatable change. And : still
others, enjoy figs and nuts steamed
with the rice as a sort of complete
vegetarian meal. '
- Rice also adds quantity and nour
ishment to many recipes that are
made of 'leftover For example, a
cup of cold cooked rice added to
fish croquettes, hash or meat loaf,

A Timely Calendar
Now ! the time to
Hunt up a variety of good cookie
recipes, and treat the family as well
as fill the children's school lunch
box.
Save newspapers and magazines
for winter fires.
.Put in a pair of new silk sleeves in
last year's serge frock. By this
economy the dress will look well
enough to wear until this season's
styles and dress goods are marked
down a little.
To use the grapes of the season.
Grapes make a good dessert, and a
delicious salad is made by peeling
the sweet Malaga grapes and sprin
kling them with cocoanut and wal
nut meats and serving with' a sweet
boiled dressing in which there is
hplenty of cream or evaporated milk.
lo render and clarity fat tor win
ter use, for the summer's accumu
lation of fats will help cook the
many fried foods that are relished
during the cold months.
To cover the children's school
books with either stiff 'pper or
cloth so they will last the year and
Se in condition for the next ,in the
family who will need to use them.
To plan the winter plants and go
to a florist's for fertilizer, leaf mold
or sphagnum, if necessary. Now is
the time to re-pot ferns. Those
with too many roots for one pot
can be carefully divided into two
pots, and the extra one will per
haps be ready for a Christmas gift
to a friend.
Malted milk is an appetizing and
nourishing drink for either break
fast, luncheon, supper or between
meal sips, and to make it taste its
best it should be "milled," that is,
thoroughly beaten with an eg r beat
er after the boiling water is Added.
It is - worth knowing that malted
milk can be purchased ir bulk at
drug stores and is considerably
cheaper bought this way. Just a
dime's worth will nearly fill an ordi
nary malted milk glass jar, and it
should be tightly corked in some
kind of glass container as soon as
purchased. To make it extra rich
one egg well beaten and two table
spoonfuls of melted chocolate may
be added to one cup. Celery salt
is another flavoring liked by. many,
and good crackers are nice to eat
with it.
Crisply brown tarts filled with
grape marmalade are -licious and
just the thing to serve with after
noon tea oh cool autumn days.
Boiled halibut tastes much richer
if served with a butter and flour
sauce to which hard 1 oiled eggs
have been dded.
Sweet or sour cream may take the
place of oil in a gc d tasting French
dressing.
Bakery Roods 'such as rolls or
doughnuts arc much fresher tasting
