I7I0W Often Do
You Eat
Rice-
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
Am Exptrt-on All Matter Having to Do
With Doinestlt) Management.
How often do you have rke? Let
- me pass on to you some information
gleaned from a visit to the bungalow
of a film actress in Los Angeles.
As an aid to a clear complexion
rice is invaluable, yet it might easily
become monotonous.
Voicing this sentiment, my host
ess invited me into the kitchenette
to learn some of the delights of the
rice bowl.
To prepare plain boiled rice, set to
boil about two quarts of water.
Pick over and wash one cupful (one
half pound) of rice. Drop into the
lapidly boiling water slowly so as
not to stop the water from boiling.
Occasionally lift the rice from the
bottom with a fork. Rice requires
about twenty minutes boiling.
Remove a grain and crush it with
the finger. If no hard center re
mains, it is done. Drain it from- the
water. Rinse thoroughly in a strain
er with running water. This will
give about four cups of cooked rice.
Spread it out on a shallow plate and
set it to dry in :in oven with door
ajar, or on top of an asbestos plate
ca the gas flame. When dry, it is
ready for serving in the many de
lightful ways the peoples of the
world have invented for this staple
article of diet.
One of these simple ways is to
reheat the portion desired in a very
generous quantity of fresh milk in
a double boiler. It may be sprinkled
with a dusting of powdered sugar
ana a iew grains ot powdered cinna
reon. .
For a change add a very few nice,
fat California raisins, or serve with
out milk but-a . little meat gravy to
give variety to the flavor.
There are a number of dishes
founded on rice not especially de
signed to meet the requirements oU
a ui'iccuve complexion, nice, pre
parea as previously directed, may
after it has fdried, be combined with
canned tomato and minced onion
and green pepper and seasoning and
cooked to a turn. The men folks
are always fond of this.
Then there is a glorious dish taken
from the Dutch East Indies. It is
rice cooked with minced or diced
chicken and pieces of boned wjiite
fish, with a dash of curry as well as
the regular seasonings.
But the housewife who would use
rice for hef family must first learn
to cook it correctly. Salt in the
proportion of one level tablespoon to
two quarts of, water may be cooked
with the rice. Some folks like a
very little salt pork cooked with the
,toniato, onion, etc., and served with
the rice. If your family does not
like ricelook to your method of
cooking it.'- The directions given in
the beginning of this article give ex
cellent results'.
Of course, a diet of rice and milk,
. if persisted in for a great length of
time, might not only become tire
some, but it might also be insuffi
cient for body requirements. But
for a month or so, for those who
would cool down ,and for those who
confess to overindulgence in the
richer foods, you will find it a wel
come change.
Mayonnaise Recipe.
Regular mayonnaise may be used
" for this salad, but a special mayon
naise recipe follows: Take a piece of
butter the size of a walnut, 1-2 tea
spoon of mustard, 1-2 teaspoon of
salt, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1- table-
spoon of flour or cornstarch, the
yolk of 1 egg, 1-2 cup of vinegar and
1-2 cup of water. Cook hi a double
boiler, beating constantly, as this
makes the dressing more fluffy.
Here is a salad that requires very
little preparation. Cut through a
firm head of lettuce lengthwise, slic
ing off a section about an inch thick.
On this lay, alternately, segments of
orange and grapefruit from which
every vestige of tough skin has been
removed. Serve with a French dress
ing but the mystery of the dressing
is that into it should be beaten a
poonful or two of ketchup.
The ketchup gives the dressing
a delicious new flavor.
An unusual salad is made by dis
solving a package of lemon-flavored
gelatin in a pint of boiling water.
When cold put a shallow layer in a
mold and when partially set place in
sliced tomatoes. Fill the mold with
alternate layers of salmon, cooked
peas and more gelatin. Serve on a
bed of crisp lettuce or dandelion,
greens garnished with tomatoes and
mayonnaise.
Rice Soup With Tomato.
Two cups rice, 1 teaspoon salt, A
quart water or water and milk. Put
rice into rapidly boiling water and
boil 30 minutes; drain in colander,
but save the water; put over rice 1
quart of cold water and let drain;
use rice as a vegetable. Into- the
liquor put 1-2 cup of rice, 1 cup of
tomato pure or trained tomatoes,
butter size of egg, 1 tablespoon of
. flour (omit flour unless-you want
a thick soup the rice and water
afford enough starch), salt and pep
per to taste. i
Baked Stuffed Cucumbers.
Peel -small cucumbers; cut a slice
from the top and scoop out the
inside. Fill with chopped meat or
fish mixed with cooked rice and sea
soned well. Sprinkle the top with
buttered crumbs of stale bread. Bake
until cucumber is soft and the
crumbs brown. Be sure to grease
the baking dish before putting the
cucumber on to bake. Serve with a
drawn-butter sauce flavored with
lemon or tartare sauce. This makes
an inexpensive and attractive lunch
, eon dish. .
Corn Pudding.
! One can corn, two eggs, salt, pep
per, sugar, two tablespoonfuls oleo
margarine, one pint milk.
Method: Beat the eggs (not sep
arating yolks and whites). Add them
tovthe corn; then add to this milk
and oleomargarine. Season to taste
with salt, pepper, and. sugar (if de
t sired). . "Bake until firm.

When making bread take out a
piece of dough after it has been
kneaded and has risen once as large
as a medium-sized loaf of bread;
, roll as nearly square as possible;
spread it with half a cupful of but
ter or lard, working it in well; sprin-

Flowered" Voile With
Organdie
By GERTRUDE BERESFORD.
Here is a charming frock for the
pleasing affairs that speed the sum
mer afternoon. The tunic is made
of a very pretty flowered voile. The
ground is peach color and the flow
ers are pale blue, lavender and gold,
with green foliage. The narrow un
derskirt is of ' peach-colored organ
die. This material is also used to
bind the overdress, short sleeves and
collar. The roses that are placed in
the corners of the -tunicand also at
the collar are fashioned from the
organdie. The long vest that ex
tends well below the organdie sash
is cut from white organdie.' White
organdie is used for the large rose
and narrow bands that adorn the
huge blue straw hat.
Place, in well-greased tins and let
rise until light and twice its size.
Put in hot oven and bake.
Quick Rolls.
Two cupfuls graham flour, one
cupful white, half a tetspoonful salt,
two rounded teaspoonfuls baking
powder, two rounded tablespoon
fuls butter or lard and about one and
a halt cupfuls of milk.
Rye Gems.
One cupful ryo flour, two cupfuls
white flour, one-half teaspoonful
baking powder, one teaspoonful
salt, one tablespoonful sugar, two
tablespoonfuls melted butter or lard,
two cupfuls sour milk, one teaspoon
ful soda in a little hot water. They
are nice, too, with corn or graham
flour.

California Four women drove from Los

From the mere standpoint of gasoline mile

vantage as their principal quality.
Records were kept on 49 cars. They aver
aged 18.9 miles to the gallon.
But bear in mind this was not done by taking
advantage of every device possible to increase
gasoline mileage. Under conditions of that sort,
Essex showed as high as 37 miles to the gallon.
However, .men don't drive that way. How ob
viously unair it would be, therefore, to offer
such carefully economized fuel mileage tests as"
typical of all Essex cars.

Jelly Making and Canning.
The United States Department of
Agriculture, for the benefit of all
who will heed its suggestions, argues
thus: Home canning is of the ut
most importance this year. "Th
shortage oi laDor on ine iarms
makes it necessary for the canner
ies to pay high phices for the com
modities that will be canned later in
the season. Labor in the canning
factories is expensive and difficult to
obtain. Everything, from cans to
cartage costs, has increased in price
and transportation is slow and more
expensive than it was in wartimes.
All this increase must be paid by the
ultimate consumer; and theVe is not
even assurance that there will be
enough canned products to go
around. The solution is home "can
ning." The department advises that thin
ner syrups be used than formerly,
and Says that a 10 per cent syrup,
made of one part sugar and nine
parts water, will make palatable any
of the acid fruits.
The hard fruits, like apples, pine
apples and the likefCan be put up in
boiling water, but the department
says that a palatable syrup is made
by mixing one-half cupful of sugar,
oiie cupful of glucose (you may sub
stitute white fable corn syrup) and
eight cupfuls of water. Of course,
the juice of apple may be put up
without any sugar.
Corn Syrup Jellies.
Corn syrup apple jelly will do
very well with meat, but is likely 40
be rubbery. Perhaps this is because
we have to cook a jelly so made
longer than one made with sugar.
And perhaps the person who will
learn how to sook out the per cent
of water in a corn syrup and add it
to a 4iot fruit juice, and cook the
two together almost no time at all,
may be able to get a jelly in which
the fruit flavor has not been over
shadowed by that of the corn syrup.
Even when cooked with sugar for
lone time a fruit juice loses most
all of its delicate flavor, and the je'ly
so made when old will not have the
Do You Know VI.
1. Why it is economical for the housewife to substitute rice at
seventeen cents a pound for potatoes at ten cents a pound (current
prices) in the daily bill" of fare? j ,
2. How sto open clams without a knife?
3. What to do to remove paint from clothing?
(These questions will be answered this week by the Housekeeper.)
Answers to Friday's Questions.
' 1. Water or milk is added to baking powder, cafbonic acid gas
or carbon dioxide is given off, just as it is given off from fermenting
yeast. This causes the dough to rise. The residue of the baking powder
left in the cake is rochelle salts.
2. You can keep cauliflower white by letting a piece of butter melt
on it when you first put it on to boil.
3. If you have no starch and wish to wash and iron a blouse or collar,
you can stiffen it by adding a lump of sugar to the rinsing water.

characteristic taste of any fruit.
An ideal jelly must be firm but
not solid, as a rubbery jelly is; it
must be tender enough to quiver, but
should retain definite angles when
broken or cut.
There are a number of fruit juices
which will, like tomato juice, if
boiled down enough, jelly of, them
selves, but the jelly will be tough
and gummy. But for flavoring they
might, like tomato juice so cooked
down, be worth while.
Canning any fruit juice until such
time as the making of jelly seems
less expensive is always possible.
It should be strained as carefully as
though jelly was to be made at once,
then sterilized in the bottles. The
best sterilizing temperature is prob
ably 160 degrees, but at any rate it
has been agreed that fruit juices
should never be heated above 200 de
grees in canning them. At this tenv
perature the work is done in 30 min
utes. The bottles must be sterilized
first and the person. who wishes to
do the work well informed.
Completion Temperature 220 Degees.
Applying this idea of low tem
perature to- jelly making, we might
conclude that only sun-made jellies
can retain delicate qualities that the
jelly making temperature of com
pletion, which is 220 degrees or 221
degrees, must drive off.
July is one of the chief jelly mak
ing 'months. Make jellies now! The
widespread knowledge of what pec
tin is and what it does is now solving
the jelly making problem for many
housewives, but some people are
making the mistake of thinking that
pectin is of the nature of a gelatin.
It is not, but is more like a cooked
corn starch as a thickener. ,'
A bottle of sterilized sour apple
.. . i e
juice is as ever-reaay a supply 01
pectin as that made ot the white part
of the orange, to which is added
some lemon juice, and more" easily
prepared, that is, it can be finished
and canned for future use all at one
period of work. A number of jellies
can be made of pectinless fruit juices
combined with the apple juice.
