To tempt the appetite it is preferable to ar- range a menu entirely different from the preceding dinner, al- thought it is a very common practice to utilize cold roast meat or fowl that may be left over from that meal. There are many 18 Recipes simple combinations, however, that are easy of preparation and are more likely to please the palate of those to be served.

Menus for this service are more effective when simple and served without ceremony. It is entirely proper to utilize ordinary utensils and dishes, but the pretty custom is largely aided by special china of some dis- tinctive and delicate pattern. - Menus for Five O’clock Teas Wafers Surprise Cakes Nuts Candied Violets Tea Tea Peanut Sandwiches Fruit Cake Fruit Mints Tea Tea Lettuce Sandwiches Assorted Tea Wafers Nuts Candied Orange Peel Tea Tea Basket of Date Toasted Crackers Sandwiches Glazed Nuts Candied Ginger Tea Russian Tea Hypocrites Tea Figs THE CHAFING DISH While entirely practical for use in preparing any menu of the day, the chaſing dish, from the standpoint of the private family circle, has its greatest utility in the giving of late Sup- pers. To those who will take the trouble to learn what may be done with a chaſing dish will come the knowledge that nearly the whole range of cookery is within its compass. The menus under this head, although limited in number, will give sufficient Menus 2 | experience to warrant the use of practically all of the entree and egg recipes to be found elsewhere.

H 0 U S E H 0 L D HINTS “Things you should knomy.” *************************************################ To Remove Ink Stains No. 1.-Housewives who are horrified at the sight of ugly ink stains will like to get a recipe for removing them. The moment the ink is spilled, take a little milk and saturate the stain, soak it up with a rag, and apply a little more milk, rub- bing it in well. In a few minutes the ink will be completely removed. No. 2–Ink can be removed from furniture, carpets, floors, etc., as follows: Wipe the spot with oxalice, let it remain a few minutes, then rub it with a cloth wet with warm water. Colored paint, mahogany and carpets will require washing with ammonia water to restore the original color. - To Remove Wine and Fruit Stains from Linen Rub the part on each side with yellow soap, then lay on a mixture of starch and cold water very thickly. Rub it in Well, and expose the linen to the sun and air until the stain comes out. If not removed in three or four days, rub that off, and renew the process. When dry, it may be sprinkled with a little water. This will remove stains of long standing. Washing Fluid To 2 gallons of water add / ounce murate of ammonia, !/2 ounce salts of tartar, 1/2 pound borax and 1 box Babbitt 's lye. Use one cup to a boiler of water and 4% cake of white soap. 25 252 Recipes Fluid for Cleaning (Fine for Carpets) Into 1 gallon warm water slice 2 bars Ivory soap. Into an- other gallon of water add 4 ounces borax and 4 ounces sal soda. Stir these into 4 gallons water and add 4 ounces of ether. Let stand over night. * . How to Tell Good Eggs . If you desire to be certain that your eggs are good and fresh, put them in water. If the butts turn up, they are not fresh. This is an infallible rule to distinguish a good egg from a bad one. -- Slicing Tomatoes When slicing tomatoes use a bread knife with saw teeth. It will cut the slices thinner, and you can do the work more quickly than with an ordinary knife. Bottling Ketchup or Fruit Juice When bottling ketchup or fruit juice, boil the corks in wa- ter for about twenty minutes. This process makes them soft and pliable, and they may be easily inserted into the necks of the bottles. No wax need be used for sealing, as this method makes the bottled ingredients airtight. Blotters in the Kitchen Blotters kept in the kitchen will be found useful for a num- ber of purposes. Buy a package of ordinary desk blotters, and when fruit juice or grease is spattered on clothing or table, apply the edge of a clean blotter and most of the liquid will be quickly absorbed. Grease spilled on the floor may be taken up in the same way. Household Hints 253 How to Clean Poultry Pick and remove pin feathers. Singe off the hair. Cut off head, remove wind pipe and crop through a slit in the back of the neck. Cut small opening under the rump and run the hand around close to body to loosen the entrals and remove all in One solid mass. Remove lungs and kidneys from back bone. Cut skin around leg joints, bend joints slowly and firmly to remove tendons with feet. Remove oil sack. Wash well—use soda if very dirty—and dry on cloth. Carefully remove gall from the liver. Remove sack from gizzard. Open and wash heart. These are called the giblets. —selected - Fine for Ripping Seams t After your husband has discarded his safety-razor blades, save them for ripping. The thin blade can be inserted under the narrowest hem and the work done easily and quickly. In using the blade flat protect the finger with an old kid glove finger. For some purposes it will be easier to use the blade in the handle, as it must be when whetted. White Pieces for Patching Launder a roll of white pieces and keep them for patching lingerie waists and underclothing. If new material is used for a patch it will shrink, and the garment will have a puckeréd effect. In such a roll keep pieces of different qualities, all of which have been washed and ironed. - To Pack Bottles When Traveling Pack bottles in your overshoes when going away on a short journey with a suit-case. There may be a tooth-wash bottle, a tonic bottle or some other bottle to take, and it is often a problem where such things will be safe. . . 254 Recipes Making Rag Rugs When making rag rugs a good color scheme for blue rugs is to sew the rags in the following order: Dark blue, light blue, dark blue, white. The rugs will not be too light colored to be serviceable, yet will be satisfactory for a blue room. Have all the rags of uniform width (about one inch) and also of nearly uniform length. Window Boxes Plant a window box in the early Fall so that you may have something pretty for your table when flowers are scarce or too expensive to buy. Get a box of any convenient size to place in a sunny window, and fill it with fine, rich earth, Plant little geranium slips, little asparagus ferns, and any other Small plants' you find in the garden which you think will live in the house. Sweet Alyssum plants thrive very well. From this box a plant may be removed at any time to fill a pot or table center-piece. Parsley seeds, if planted in such a box will keep one supplied with parsley all winter. Making Jelly It is a help when making jelly to have a swinging hook, such as is used to suspend bird cages. Fasten the hook se- curely to the wall or woodwork, so that the jelly-bag will hang from directly over a bowl placed on the kitchen table. When not in use the hook may be turned back against the wall, out of the way. Starching Hints Starched muslims, laces and prints will look nicer and iron easily if dampened with hot water instead of cold. To impart extreme stiffness to starch add to one quart of starch a teaspoon of gum arabic and the same of baking soda, dissolved in a very little water. Household Hints 255 Using a Double Boiler The contents of the inner vessel of a double boiler will cook much more rapidly if the water in the outer compartment is salted in the proportion of half cup of salt to two quarts of water. To Blanch Nuts To blanch any variety of nuts means to remove the inner brown skin, which has a most unpleasant flavor when nuts are chopped or ground. To do this remove the outer shells, then pour boiling water over the nut meats. After soaking a few moments rub a few of the nuts between layers of coarse crash toweling and see if they loosen easily; if not, soak a little longer until these brown jackets come off almost at a touch; then rub the nuts in the towelnig until all are removed, putting them on a broad enameled pan as they are made clean and white. These blanched nuts are now ready to be used in any way one prefers. They may be chopped coarsely for use in puddings or cakes, ground for paste making, or they may be salted or sugared. To Sugar or Salt Nuts Place the blanched nuts on a wide pan and stir into them a small quantity of melted butter, turning the nuts about so they will be evenly coated. Now sprinkle with salt or sugar and place in the oven for a few moments. The method is quite simple, and it should be remembered that fine salt or sugar and pure butter must be used to get good results. To Clean Threads from a Carpet Dampen a whisk broom and brush around where the threads are after you have been sewing. The broom will quickly pick up the threads without raising a dust. 256 Recipes Ink from Mahogany Touch a stain with a feather dipped in a spoonful of water with six or eight drops of nitre mixed with it. As soon as the ink disappears wash the place with a cloth Wrung from cold water or a white spot will be left. Repeat if necessary. Ink stains may also be removed from other dark woods in this way. To Keep Ivory Knife Handles from Cracking Never let the knife blades stand in hot water. The heat expands the steel that runs up into the handle, and cracks it. Of course the handles must never lie in water. To Save Your Window Shades When window shades have become cracked and broken they can be renovated by laying them flat on the floor and painting them with ordinary oil paint bought in small cans at any hardware store. Paint one side and let dry thoroughly before touching the other side. This treatment preserves the shades so they will last for years. A Refrigerator Substitute Anyone who cannot afford a refrigerator will find this a good substitute. If you have a good cellar, procure a box, the larger the better, knock the bottom out, then dig a hole in the cellar just large enough for the box and fit it in. About twice a week clean it out, strew borax around, and you will find ev- erything nice and cool. Silver Polish % ounce chalk, / ounce whiting, 1/4 ounce ammonia, 44 ounce alcohol, 4% ounce cyanide of potassium. Put in 4-oz. bottle and fill with soft water. MRS. YODER Household Hints 257 A Tip on Saving Gas When baking potatoes, cook your cereal for the next day in the oven. The double boiler does as well in the stove as on it. So does the soup kettle. When baking beans, fill the oven with things that require long, slow cooking. Put the covered kettle of soup at the back, as that will take care of itself. Next put in the bean-pot and double-boiler with oatmeal. When the breakfast food is done, put in its place a covered granite dish containing prunes. The last two hours before dinner is to be served, cook a dish of macaroni or one of the many puddings that do well in a moderate oven. To Remove Odor of Onions from Hands After peeling onions use salt as you would soap to wash your hands and free them of all odor. Grass Stains To remove grass stains rub thoroughly with molasses and rinse in clear water. Odors in Ice Box Charcoal placed in the ice box will absorb the odors. Iron Rust Sour milk will remove iron rust. Soak the article well. To Prevent Boiling Over If the upper edge of the sauce pan is well buttered, milk, chocolate or anything of the kind will not boil over. To Remove White Spots To remove white spots from furniture rub with alcohol or camphor and then with good furniture polish. To Prevent Colds Drop 5 or 6 drops of camphor on a teaspoonful of sugar, and take it when you feel a cold coming on. 258 Recipes Ink Stains To take ink stains out of linen dip the ink spot in pure melted tallow, wash out and tallow and ink will come out with it. This is said to be unfailing. Egg Preserving Fluid 1 pint of slacked lime, strained through a coarse sieve; 4% pint of salt, 3 gallons of water. Cover the eggs with the fluid. MRS. T. E. WOSBURG Curtain Rods A thimble placed on the end of the rod will make it run much more smoothly and with less danger of tearing freshly ironed curtains. To Keep Egg Yolks Egg yolks may be kept for a few days if dropped unbroken into a glass of cold water. Cleaning Fluid 3 gallons of soft water, 2 ounces of powdered borax, 4 pound of washing soda, Ø pound of Ivory soap, 2 ounces of ether. Good for carpets, etc. Baking Powder 4 ounces of baking soda, 3 ounces tartaric acid, 1 pint flour. Sift 4 times; use 3 teaspoonsful to quart of flour. Very good. To Keep Lemons Turn a glass over each lemon to exclude the air, and they will keep for weeks. Stove Polish Mix a teaspoonful of pulverized alum with common stove polish. It will give a fine luster and is more permanent than common polish. Household Hints 259 ----- To Keep Pickles A bit of horse radish placed on top of a jar of pickles be- fore sealing will aid in keeping them. To Remove Stains Pitch, tar, wheel grease, machine oil stains can be removed by rubbing lard into the stain, letting stand for 2 hour, then washing in cold water with plenty of soap. To Fry Doughnuts Before melting lard put a teaspoonful of vinegar in with the lard. It keeps the doughnuts from taking up the grease. Wash Fat from Doughnuts If doughnuts are dipped quickly into boiling water im- mediately after taken from the boiling fat, a surprising amount of the fat is washed from them, thus making them more easily digested. Moth Killer (sure) If moths get into a closet saturate a cloth 12 inches square with formaldehyde. Put in the closet, closing the door for 12 hours. Same plan may be used in chests, trunks, etc. The fumes will kill moth, as well as their eggs and germs of any kind. Leaves no odor. Iron Rust - Rub iron rust spots with lemon juice, cover with salt and dry in sun. Repeat until the spots disappear. sº, cº, cº. - - º Nº. → ~, cº. sº, cº. º ~ #: --> i HOME RE ME DIES º %-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º-º: i LaGrippe Cure 1% cups of onions, chopped fine; 1 cup vinegar, boiled to- gether and strained; add 1 cup N. O. molasses, 2 lemons and *4 pound of rock candy. Boil all together. To Prevent a Felon When a soreness is felt, immerse the finger in a basin of ashes and cold water, set it on the stove while cold, and stir it continually without taking it out, until the lye is so hot it can- not be borne any longer. If the soreness is not gone it half an hour, repeat it. For the Sick Room Placing a watch under a tumbler near the bed of a sick person will give him relief from the ticking, which is often very trying to sensitive nerves. If there is no timepiece near, a sense of loneliness may be felt, but if a watch is laid under a tumbler, even close to the bed, the ticking is almost inaudible. Cure for Chilblains Have ready a pan or cake of ice. Put a large spoonful of lard in a skillet, heat it until it is as hot as can be made, until it smokes fiercely. Have the ice close to the stove. Pour the burning lard quickly over the ice, let cool, remove from ice and use. TO USE: Bathe feet, dry, rub all sore places with ice grease and heat in. Will cure the worst cases of broken chil- blains and relieve frozen feet. 261 262 Recipes º Excellent Gargle and Mouth Wash Put into a quart bottle two level teaspoonsful baking soda, one level teaspoonful pure carbolic acid, (shake), two level tea- spoonsful glycerine. Fill bottle with lukewarm water. Car- bolic acid varies in strength, if this seems too strong when tasted, dilute to agreeable strength. Will not harm if a little is swallowed. There is nothing better for daily use or for sore throat. Remedy for a Cough A patient who for nearly two months could not pass a night in quiet without large doses of laudanum, has been cured of a most harassing cough by suet boiled in milk. For Goitre, Tumorous Growths, Etc. 1 ounce potassium iodide, 1 ounce water.

Breakfast, for instance, has five groups, the fruit, the cereal, the bread, the main dish, and the beverage. Suggestions as to Selecting Breakfast Dishes 1. Cereals, as oatmeal and cornmeal, with considerable fat in composition, are better adapted to cold than to hot weather. Also, to eat with them, select such foods as are de- ficient in fat; i. e., choose rice, wheat or barley cereals to eat with bacon, ham, sausage, chops or steak, and select oatmeal and cornmeal when fish or eggs are the main dish of the break- fast. Either of these cereals eaten with cream or evaporated milk and some form of bread with butter and a sweet fruit, as bananas, dates and figs, furnish a satisfactory meal without other addition. 2. With bacon, ham, sausage, chops (lamb or pork), the cereal may be omitted and an acid fruit, cooked or uncooked, be provided. Potatoes are not a necessity if bread be supplied, but are a welcome addition to meat. 3. The beverage for breakfast is a matter of taste, tho cocoa, milk, grape juice or water are the only drinks suitable for children. Points on Selecting Dishes for Dinner 1. A soup for dinner should be light in character, as con- somme, broth or bouillon, that the appetite be stimulated rather than satisfied. If the main dish for dinner be roast beef, let the flavor of some other meat than beef be predominant in the SOUp. 2. With a meat or fish serve one underground vegetable, as potatoes, turnips, beets and one vegetable grown above ground, as lettuce, cabbage, celery. 270 Recipes 3. If the green vegetable is served as a salad the simple French dressing of oil, acid, salt and pepper is preferable to a rich mayonnaise or a cooked dressing. Reserve these latter dressings for luncheon and supper when the salad serves as the main dish of the meal. 4. The acids in apples and pineapples aid in the digestion of bacon, ham, pork chops and roast pork; cranberry sauce or fruit jellies harmonize with dishes of poultry, while mint sauce or apple mint jelly is appropriate with lamb, especially when roasted. The acid of lemon is appetizing with fish and shell- fish, and the flavor of tomatoes is almost equally desirable with any dish of meat, fish, beans or paste (macaroni, noodles). 5. Canned fruit, fruit cup, grape juice in gelatine dishes or with tapioca, grape juice, sherbet and similar sweet dishes are appropriate after boiled, broiled or roasted meats, while mince pie or strawberry short-cake enriches a dinner in which fish, eggs or some left-over material is the main dish. Hints on Combinations for Supper or Luncheon 1. While any soup is a welcome prelude to supper or luncheon, these meals offer a most favorable opportunity for presenting mock turtle soup, ox tail soup, pea and bean soups, chowder and stews. Any of these dishes is hearty enough to warrant its service as the main dish of the meal. - 2. A lighter soup may be followed with baked beans and pork, cold meat, eggs in any one of a great variety of ways, fish in salad or creamed on toast, or vegetables in jellied beef extract.
