When broiling steak try brushing 1t
over with butter and -four to keep the
juice In.
II eggs are to be boiled hard have
the water boiling when the eggs are
put In. This will prevent the yolks
turning dark.
Cinnamon makes an unusual and ap.
petizing flavor for gelatin desserts, one
which has the additional virtue Of
economy. Serve with sweet cream,
plain or whipped.
When frying onions water may be
added at the beginning, and, after they
have slmmered tender, the water should
be turned on and fat added for the
frying. This process removes the
strong onion juice and makes them
tender.
It Is said that the best way to eat ba-
.nanas, which are now so common a
diet, is to crush them with fork,
squeeze lime or lemon over them
and sprinkle them with sIfted sugar.

Some kinds of meat are lacking in
fat and need fat to bring out their
best qualities. The best way to add
1t is by lardIng, yet with the exception
of a fllet of beef or liver this is sell
dom done In the home Kitchen. A lard
ing needle is pointed at one end and
has prongs ut the other In which the
little strips OF pork are inserted. Set
the needle Into the meat and make one
stitch; draw through and let go SO as
to leave an end OF pork sticking up at
each end of the stitch. Make one row,
then begin again, taking the stitches
alternating with the first.
When the Harding is finished the meat
Will be covered with little points OF
pork not over one-thIrd of an inch
high.
The little strips of pork are called
Iardoons and are cut from fat salt
pork. That part next to the rind,
which Is firm and hard, is used; the
soft part is not suitable for Harding.
Cut in slices one-quarter inch thick,
then cut this into quarter inch strips.
For some meats the lardoons are made
a trifle larger, but they must be even
smaller for little birds.
AS the meat cooks, the pork crisps
and covers the surface with basting
of fat, while the portions inside are so
small as to cook thoroughly.
As a substitute for Harding shave
firm salt pork very thin and lay on the
meat, and II necessary stick wooden
toothpicks through to hold them in
place. Remove pork and little skewers
before Chicago Inter Ocean.
