The very latest delectable beverage for
the individual who needs bracing Is the
Goebel cobbler, made without liquor. So
strengthening as we'll as stimulating has
this proved for the invalid for whom 1t
was primarily designed that its fame has
spread outside Kentucky, and doctors are
recommending it for the use of anaemic,
consumptive or nervously exhausted pa
tients who require forced feeding without
danger of upsetting the stomach. To make
two glasses, squeeze the juice from one
orange and one lemon and add three tea
spoonfuls of sugar. Put into glass can
the whites of many eggs as can be as
simulated without difficulty Gin the initial
case eight were used, add the sugar, fruit
Juice and a cupful of Clipped Ice Close the
Jar and shake vigorously until it's contents
are thoroughly blended, light and white as
foam. Serve at once.
Brown betty, the childrens favorte pud
ding composed of alternate layers Of chop
ped apples and dried bread crumbs, sweet
ened, spced and buttered to taste, becomes
even more delicious when apricots, fresh or
canned are substituted for the apple Made
in this way and served hot, with whipped
cream or even a sweetened milk sauce, it
is sure to find favor in the eyes of all the
family round.
A simple and excellent dessert for summer
Is rose pudding. Put quart of fresh milk
over the fire In double-boiler When 1t
scalds stir into 1t five tablespoonfuls of
sifted flour. which has been mixed smooth
in little cold water. Add saltspoonful
of salt, stir well and let it cook until thick.
Beat four eggs until creamy and light and
stir quickly into the mixture. Take from
the fire and flavor with three or four drops
or strong rose extract. Have ready three
or four molds or cops of equal size, rolled
in cold water, pour the pudding in and set
away in the cellar ice box until thor
oughly chilled. In serving, turn the molds
on to a platter Or glass dish, taking pains
to get them out smoothly and perfectly
Put rim of red raspberries about the
platter and serve With powdered sugar and
cream.
Here is a point for the housekeeper's
note book. If one has butter that is not
entirely sweet. add to it little more salt
and a pinch of soda and bring to boil
| on the stove When cold, remove the cake
of fat, wipe dry, and it will be found per-
fectly sweet for cooking
The latest "Bewarer' is sounded over
the apparently innocuous yellow brown
boot paste. According to the French Acad-
emie de Medecin, two children wearing
these polished boots were poisoned, the evil
being traced to the aniline oil in the paste,
| which had gradually soaked through the
leather.
A young housekeeper writes to know
how much water she should use in cook
| ing the various breakfast pOrridges, and
how long a time is required for the proper
| cooking of oatmeal.
Breakfast cereals vary SO widely to
| the amount of water required in their cook
| ing, as well as the length of time neces-
| sary, that the following approved schedule
may well be cut out and pinned up in the
kitchen for ready reference
Oatmeal cannot be cooked too much, and
Is much cheaper than that partially cooked.
1t takes up three times it's bulk of water,
and must be cooked three hours at least.
Oatmeal fakes, two and a half times
bulk In water; cook twenty minutes;
| hominy, three, times bulk in water,
bulk in water, cook one-half hour; fari-
ma, three times bulk in water, cook one
| hour; germea, three to four times bulk In
water, cook one-half hour; corn meal four
| times bulk in water, cook four hours
| cracked wheat. four times bulk in water
| cook three to five hours. Many good house
keepers commence cooking their oatmeal,
| cornmeal or hominy at night while getting
dinner, finishing the operation the next
| morning. A double boiler Is almost a
| necessity in the proper cooking of grains,
| and no housekeeper should be without one.
A good granite or porcelain boiler will last
| for years.

Where no servants are kept the children
should early be taught how to wait upon
the table. and how to do 1t deftly and
properly. Nor will this training come
amiss in after life. For the young woman
