Soup stock is made from beef, two-thirds lean and the remainder bone and fat. Always crack the bones before boiling, as they contain a great deal of gelatine. To 4 pounds of lean meat put 4 quarts cold water, without salt. Let come slowly to the boiling point, skim often, adding a little salt and a dash of cold water to assist the scum to rise. When all scum is removed set back and let boil gently for six or eight hours. Add pepper to taste, strain into jar, let cool and remove all grease. This stock will keep for many days and from it many kinds of soup can be made. SOUP MARMALADE. One-half peck ripe tomatoes, peel and chop fine; also 1 pint each, onion, grated corn, and okra (if obtainable), salt and pepper to taste, cook slowly for 1 hour or longer until very thick. Seal while hot. This marmalade is the basis of many quickly made soups, of which the following is one. HOW TO BIND SOUPS. Cream soups and purees, if allowed to stand, separate unless bound together. To bind a soup, melt butter, and when bubbling add an equal quantity of flour. When well mixed, add to boiling soup and stir constantly. VEGETABLE SOUP. Have your soupbone put on early. Boil well; season about one- half hour before ready to serve; add to 2 quarts of the beef soup 1 cup chopped potatoes, one-half onion, one-half cup celery, 3 table- spoonfuls tomatoes, one-third cup rice, a little parsley if desired. For puree of vegetables, press through a colander. Return the pulp to the kettle. CREOLE SOUP. One cup soup marmalade dissolved in pint of boiling water, 1 pint hot milk, 1 tablespoon butter; salt and pepper to taste; a few drops of English sauce. Just before sending to table add bars of nice brown toast which should not “be in the soup” but floating.—Los Angeles. - SOUP WITH MARROW BALLS. Take a small soup bone and remove the marrow. Use the bone for the broth, add one-half cup of rolled oats and boil well with onion and parsley. Put the marrow in a bowl; work enough fine cracker crumbs into it to make a stiff paste, add one tablespoon of flour. Add 7 Ohio’s Pride Ham Roll for the meat course at home or the dainty luncheon salt, pepper and nutmeg to taste, form into small balls, add to the soup, let boil until the balls come to the top and serve.—Mrs. M. Morris. PUREE OF BEAN SOUP. Wash one pint of beans, soak over night in cold water, next morn- ing drain, cover with boiling water and boil fifteen minutes, drain. Add 1 onion (chopped) and 2 quarts boiling water, cook slowly for three-quarters of an hour, add salt and pepper; press beans through a colander, return to kettle and add one tablespoonful of butter and one of flour rubbed together, stir until they reach the boil- . ing point, add a quarter of cup of cream or good milk, serve with small croutons. Split pea soup made precisely the same, using 1 pint of peas instead of beans. ASPARAGUS SOUP. The stock of a can of asparagus, 1 tablespoon of butter, salt and pepper to taste; small pinch of soda. Let come to boiling point; 1 pint of cream poured in the stock. Serve at once in bouillon cups. Teaspoon whipped cream on top.–Mrs. Weigand. CREAM OF POTATO SOUP. First boil 4 or 5 potatoes together with a stalk of celery and small onion; Mash all together through a colander, adding the water in which they are boiled, and a pint of hot milk. Serve with a table- spoonful of whipped cream and a dash of nutmeg on top of each plate—Mrs. W. C. Cook. CREAM OF TOMATO SOUP. 1 quart tomatoes, 1 quart milk, 1 teaspoonful sugar, 4 tablespoons flour, one-quarter teaspoon soda, 4 tablespoons butter, 1 small onion, 1 teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper. Cook tomatoes with onion and sugar five minutes, add soda and when bubbling ceases, strain into a white sauce made from the other ingredients.-Mrs. J. Twigg. - TOMATO BISQUE. To one can of tomatoes rubbed through seive add a pinch of soda, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 of flour, 1 of onion juice, 1 quart of milk, and a lump of butter; season to taste and let it come to a boil. Serve with whipped cream.—Mrs. Wm. Newlove. CREAM OF MAIZE SOUP. One-half can corn, rub through seive, add 1 quart milk, 1 table- spoon butter, salt and pepper to taste. Let come to a boil and serve. —Martha. 8 A treat in meat—Ohio’s Pride Ham Roll PUREE OF CELERY. Wash and scrape a head of celery and cut it into half-inch pieces. Drop into a pint of water and cook until very soft. Mash in the water in which it was boiled. Chop fine a tablespoonful of onion and cook in a pint of milk for ten minutes; then add the milk to the celery. Press all through a sieve and return to the fire. Cook to- gether a tablespoonful of butter and one of flour until smooth, but not brown. Stir into the boiling soup, season, and serve. WHITE ALMOND SOUP. Four pounds knuckle of veal, cut in small pieces, add 3 quarts cold water, cook slowly 4 hours, then add 1 onion, 2 stalks celery, little parsley, 1 tablespoon salt, 6 pepper corns.

Wipe and cut meat in inch cubes from 5 pounds lean beef from middle of round. Put two-thirds of meat in soup kettle and soak in 3 quarts of cold water 30 minutes. Brown remainder in hot frying pan with marrow taken from a 2-pound marrow bone. Then put browned meat and bone in kettle; heat to boiling point; skim thor- oughly and cook at temperature below boiling point 5 hours. Then add 1 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper corns, one-third cup each of carrot, turnip, onion, and celery cut in small pieces; cook 1 hour longer then strain, cool, remove fat and clear.—Mrs. Dewitt Owen, Dixon, Ill.

Cook until all is tender. Have ready one hard boiled egg (crush it fine in a saucer with a fork), 1 cracker rolled fine. When ready to serve sprinkle egg and cracker into soup, add a dash of pepper and serve immediately.—Mrs. I. A. Morris. - NOODLES FOR SOUP. Take yolk of one egg, beat it and add its eqaul of water, season with salt. Mix flour in this until very stiff, then roll as thin as pos- sible, let lay until dried a little, then roll up and slice as thin as possible; shake out and you will have long strings; add to broth when needed. 9 Modern Science Has Produced no Greater Cleanser than sº SKIDOO SOAP jī Great, we say, because it accomplishes its |Sºſ - C - Lºirs ALü Gºs Dº. N purpose with less expense and effort than any other known substance, powder, liquid or hard soap. SKIDOO is a creamy paste, and is a most delightful one to use, because it works so fast and does it so quickly, and being in cans is sanitary. For the Toilet and Bath it is the best ever, because you get immediate results. SKIDOO takes off the surface dirt and then goes further and takes out the stains, and when you have finished, you will find your hands white and healthy looking. And in taking a bath after reposing a few minutes in the bath tub, stand up and spread a little SKIDOO on a cloth or brush and rub yourself all over, then rinse, and you will have the same results as a Turkish Bath. Then put some SKIDOO on a cloth and see how quickly it Cleans the Bath Tub Applied the same way, you can clean the tile and hardwood floors, painted walls, windows, mirrors, cut glass, the kitchen ware, and it is the only thing to clean aluminum cooking utensils. In fact, there is nothing you can't use SKIDOO for, and you get a 12-ounce can for 10 cents. Sold by all dealers—If yours don't, 'phone us, Citizen 9798. THE SKIDOO SOAP CO., 489 W. Buttles Ave. 10 - Ohio’s Pride Ham Roll—always ready; a trouble=saver; economical, too OYSTER COCKTAIL. Mix 1 heaping tablespoon of horseradish mustard, one-third teaspoon tobasco sauce, 3 tablespoons tomato catsup, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon vinegar, scant teaspoon salt.

Eight small oysters, strained juice of one-half lemon, one-half tea- spoon vinegar, one-half teaspoon tomato catsup, 4 drops of tobasco, salt to taste; one-half teaspoon horse-radish. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.—Mrs. L. C. Hoover. OYSTER COCKTAIL. To make an oyster cocktail use very small oysters and allow from four to eight to each glass. Keep them on ice until wanted and have the glasses thoroughly chilled before filling. Use the common claret glass if you have not the regular cocktail glass. When ready to serve put the oysters in the glass and add the following mixture, using from one to two teaspoonfuls, according to taste: One tea- spoonful of grated horseradish, one teaspoonful tomato catsup, one saltspoonful salt, half saltspoon of cayenne, half teaspoon tobasco, two tablespoonfuls lemon juice. Mix thoroughly. This will be suf- ficient for six cocktails.-Faith Stallman. “Wear-Ever” stands for the best that money can buy. Thirty days free trial will be sufficient proof. Call Bell, North 380. SCALLOPED OYSTERS. Pick, wash, and drain 1 solid quart oysters. Put in layers in baking: dish, alternating with dry bread or cracker crumbs and seasoning. When dish is filled add strained oyster liquor and sufficient milk to moisten. Cover with crumbs, add 1 tablespoon butter in bits, and bake one-half hour in hot oven. FRIED OYSTERS. Select largest and finest oysters. Drain and wipe them by spread- ing upon cloth, laying another over them, pressing lightly. Roll each in beaten egg, then in cracker crumbs with which has been mixed a very little pepper. Fry in mixture of equal parts of lard and butter. -- - - 12 Our winning card—“Ohio’s Pride Lard” STEWED OYSTERS. Pick over and wash 1 quart oysters. Scald 1 pint milk. Strain, boil, and skim oyster liquor; when clear add oysters. Cook till oysters are plump and well ruffled; take from fire, add hot milk, salt and pepper. If desired thicker, rub together 1 tablespoon each of butter and flour; add to milk and stir until smooth. This may be varied by addition of a little chopped celery or onion. DELMONICO’S OYSTER FRITTERS. Take a quart of select, plump, good sized oysters, drain off the juice, and strain it through a piece of cheese cloth. To a cup of the juice add a cup of milk, salt to taste, the well-beaten yolks of four eggs, and enough flour to make a batter as thick as for griddle cakes. Drop each oyster into this batter, taking it up with a large spoonful, and fry in deep, hot fat until a nice brown. Serve very hot with nice crisp celery or cold slaw. | The recipes in this book ||\) will give superior results - if ‘‘Wear-Ever” Alumi- num is used. PIGS IN BLANKETS. This is not a new method, but is one which tickles the fancy and palate, and there may be many who have not tried these dainty, tasty, tid-bits. For each oyster have a very, very thin, narrow slice of smoked breakfast bacon, neatly trimmed. Rinse and drain the oysters and wrap each oyster (or place two together if small) in a strip of bacon; fasten securely with a small wooden skewer (ttothpick) so the oyster can not slip out in frying; dip each roll in beaten egg, then cover lightly with white corn meal and fry a delicate brown, using a little of the bacon fat to start them with. The bacon must be sliced as thin as possible so it will brown quickly and the oysters not be overcooked and tough. Serve with quarters of lemon and celery. SMOTHERED OYSTERS. Put one tablespoonful of butter in a covered saucepan with half a saltspoonful of white pepper, one teaspoonful of salt and a dash of cayenne. When hot add one pint of oysters. Cover closely and shake the pan to keep the oysters from sticking. Cook for three minutes. Serve on toasted crackers. ROAST OYSTERS. Wash the shells well with a brush and cold water. Place them in a pan with the deep half of the shell down. Put them into a hot oven - 13 -- The Blumer & Sartain Packing Company awarded premium at Columbus Industrial Exposition, 191 o and bake until the shell opens. Remove the top shell carefully so as not to lose the liquor. Arrange them on plates, and on each oyster place a piece of butter and a little salt and pepper. OYSTER SALAD. One pint of celery, one quart of oysters, one-third of a cupful of Mayonnaise dressing, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one of oil, half a teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper, one tablespoonful of lemon juice. Let the oysters come to a boil in their own liquor. Skim well and drain. Season them with the oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and lemon juice. When cold put in the ice chest for at least two hours. Scrape and wash the whitest and tenderest part of the celery and with a sharp knife cut in very thin slices. Put in a bowl with a large lump of ice, and set in the ice chest until serving time. When ready to serve drain the celery and mix with the oysters and half of the dressing. Arrange in salad bowl, pour the remainder of the dressing over it and garnish with water cress. - SCALLOPED OYSTERS. (A Family Recipe.) Drain the oysters. You will not require the liquor for this dish. It will season a chicken pie, or you may use it for oyster bouillon. Butter a nice pudding dish; put a layer of oysters in the bottom, strew fine crumbs over them ; dot the crumbs with bits of butter; sprinkle with a little finely minced parsley; dust with salt and pepper, and cover with a white sauce—butter “drawn” with milk instead of water. Next comes a second layer of oysters; then more crumbs, until your materials are used up. The last layer should be crumbs, buttered and seasoned. Bake, covered, for fifteen minutes; uncover, and brown delicately. It will be found greatly superior to the usual preparation of scalloped oysters—less watery, richer in flavor, and creamy in consistency-Marion Harland. A. E. KNIGHT, 1513 E.

Old-fashioned receipt—Make thick dum- pling batter (see Dumplings). Drop by spoonfuls into thickened boiling liquor, cover closely for 20 minutes. MINCED CHICKEN. A good way to use up left-over chicken or turkey is to pick the meat from the bones—the giblets may also be chopped and used and mix with the left-over gravy, well seasoned, heated through and spread over slices of toast that have been previously moistened with water in which a bit of butter has been melted. This should be served very hot—Mrs. E. E. Cook. - - 22 56,oo cans of Ohio's Pride Lard sold to one firm last season; not a word of complaint—think of that and bake in a moderate oven for 15 minutes.

When that is all stirred in, add one gener- ous teaspoonful of vinegar—a little at a time. When that is all stirred in, add 1 tablespoonful grated onion, 1 tablespoonful each (chopped) olives, capers, cucumber pickles and parsley. This will keep a long time, if bottled and kept in a cool place, and is the best tartar sauce I know how to make.—Mrs. Stallman. - Newlyweds welcome Alumi- num showers in this day of grace.

When the cream boils stir in the flour, previously mixed smoothly with a little cold milk. When it boils again take it from the fire and stir in the butter, anchovy and the eggs. Lastly stir in the tomatoes and half the butter. Beat it up well and put it in a small souffle dish and bake in a quick oven about 20 minutes. 38 - Ohio’s Pride Lard, kettle rendered, nothing but lard BAKED FLANK STEAK AND ONIONS. Fifteen cents’ worth of flanked steak, put in roasting pan, season and cover with sliced onions and pour in a cupful of boiling water and a tablespoonful of vinegar, which makes the meat tender. Put in moderate oven and baste once in a while. Turn in about half an hour. When done thicken the gravy with a tablespoonful of flour mixed in cold water. This is delicious if there is just enough water kept in the pan to keep it from burning, and a little more water is added for gravy when meat is taken up. Too much water makes it SOggy.

Cook until flour is well done, stirring often to prevent milk from burning. CAULIFLOWER. Trim off outside leaves and lay blossoms down in cold salted water.

One cup grated cheese, white of 1 egg, salt and pepper; mix to- gether, roll into little balls, dip into egg and fine cracker crumbs and fry in deep fat. soME ATTRACTIVE NEw ways OF SERVING CHEESE. White cream cheese can be made into such pretty looking dishes for luncheon or dinner and with only a little trouble. The cheese is so soft that it can be easily worked, or, if it is inclined to crumble, a little sweet cream, beaten in with a silver fork, will make it the right consistency to manage. Mould it into a mound-shape, denting in the top, and fill the hollow with crabapple or currant jelly. The red contrasts with the white in a most tempting way. Another way is to press the cheese—without the addition of any cream—through a colander until it lies in a soft, irregular mound of light, flaky cheese. Push it into a round shape, and set a row of preserved strawberries or candied cherries around the base. Cheese balls—the cream cheese rolled in little balls between wooden paddles that come for butter balls—are pretty to put on the side of the individual plates of lettuce. Or another clever idea is to crack English walnuts and to put the halves one on each side of a little ball of cheese. They make very clever imitations of English walnut creams, while the nuts and cheese are a delicious combination. Swiss cheese is cut in thin square slices—mostly “holes” Cheese-crackers are made by taking long, salted crackers, spread- ing them thickly with cheese (not the white, but the ordinary yellow cream cheese), and laying one on top of another, sandwich fashion. Then set them in the oven for a few minutes, and the outside edges will be delicately browned, while the cheese will be cooked just enough to glue the two crackers together. Cheese sandwiches are usually made with crackers, but occasion- ally of thin bread and butter. But, if you use bread, cut it in round shapes, to imitate miniature cheeses, or make the thin rolled sand- wiches of it. Bread sandwiches, spread with softened cream cheese, and a layer —very thin-of currant jelly on top, are the daintiest sort of little sandwiches. Or, spread with the cheese, which has been previously mixed with chopped walnuts and cream, are equally good. For a green luncheon, the white cheese balls may be tinted a very pale green by some of the harmless vegetable coloring matters. But the natural color is always prettiest and best. 53 Ohio's Pride Ham Roll—always ready; a trouble=saver; economical, too Salads . “Everybody knows, or ought to know, what a Salmagundi is.” CHEESE BALLS.
