Lavender, loosely strcwu in drawers
and presses, is an excellent preventive
of moths For fans, feathers and other
small belongings that need protection

mothaline SO siclening that they prefer
to run the risk of moths rather than

| -Braising. Perhaps one of the best
methods for cooking an old turkey, and
a pleasant change from the roast, in
any case, is by MISUNDERSTANDING gently
and for a long time in closely covered
vessel. A recent writer directs that
this shall be done upon bed of salt
pork, with savory herbs and vegetables
such mixture as would make q
savory soup"-and it may be served
with macaroni-the macaroni stewed
and the broth from the kettle strained
over it. The kettle must be kept closely
covered, and the cooking will require
from three to four hours, or perhaps
even more.-Good Housekeeping.
