During a recent trip away from home
we tried to eat dish of oatmeal at
four different well conducted hotels.
AT not one of these places was this oat-
meal so cooked as to be fit for food.
We wish we could in some way impress
upon the minds of cooks everywhere
the fact that all starchy foods must be
cooked for a long time IN order to be
palatable and digestible. II intended
for the morning meal. oatmeal, rice,
hominy, grits, prepared wheat--in fact,
any Of the uncooked cereal foods
should be cooked in double boiler for
at least three or four hours the preyi-
Gus day and then warmed up for break
fast.

How to Freshen the Dining Room.

How to Freshen the Dining Room.
A few drops of oil of lavender in a
silver bowl or ornamental dish of some
kind half filed with very hot water
and set in the dining room just before
dinner is served gives delightful and
intangible freshness to the atmosphere
of the apartment. Hostesses often put
a small vessel in the parlor and dress
ing rooms when arranging the house
for a festivity. The suggestion is espe-
cialIy valuable to the hostess in small
apartment which sometimes in the bus
tie of preparation becomes stuffy.

A dirty macintosh can be quickly
cleaned by spreading it on table and
then scrubbing it with yellow soap and
soft water. The brush used should be
nailbrush. When the dirty spots
are all removed, rinse the macintosh
in cold water till quite free of soap and
then hang out in the shade to dry. Do
not wiring it or place it near fire, but
content yourself with giving it shake
and then allowing the air to complete
the drying process.

How to Treat Perspiring Hands.
If your hands perspire too freely, add
a few drops of tincture of myrrh to the

1t is an excellent plan to keep a box of
oatmeal on ones washstand and make
it a regular habit to dust little over

Gamma Roots In Winter.

Place Gamma tubers in boxes quite
close together in rather dry cellar
where frost will not penetrate. Any
cellar that will keep potatoes in good
order is quite suitable. The tops
should of course be previously cut off
level with the soil The tubers may
remain in the cellar all winter, but
should be examined from time to time.
If it is found that they are too moist
or that the tops are mildewing, they
should be separated a trifie or moved
to drisr place. If, on the contrary,
the soil dries out so that the tubers
wither, they should be watered occa-
sionally SO as to keep the tubers
plump.

How to Make Engli.h meat Pie.

The veal and ham pie, which is a
common English dish. should be better
known here. The bone end of a piece
of veal Is stewed till the meat is tender
with an equal amount of smoked ham.
Take out the bone, strain the stock and
separate the veal and ham pieces. Cut
each in strips and lay in alternate lay
ers in deep baking dish. Season, COW
er with the clear stock and finish the
dish with faky crust that will bake
quickly. The dish is eaten cold, and
when cut like any pie it will be found
that the meat is set in delicious jelly.

plains that her hens don't lay in the
winter and wants to know what to do
for them. In the first place it is not
natural for hens to produce their eggs
during the winter season, and more or
less artificial means must be used to
induce them to do it. Warmth. sun
shine and the feeding of egg produc-
ing food to young hens win usually re
suit in egg production, even in mid
winter. Without these things no eggs
need be looked for.
