COOKING HINTS BY EXPERTS.
Two Famous Cooks give Valuable In
formation about Corn starch as a
Cooking Help,


Comparatively few housewives realize
how great is the virtue of corn starch
as help in cooking and baking. Alice
Cary Waterman and Janet NJ. Hill, the
famous culinary experts, have made a
special study of this phase Of cookery,
with results that are not only interest
ing but surprising.
As is well known, quality in corn
starch is an all-important consideration,
and the two cooks found Kingsford's
0swego Corn Starch to be the BEST for
every purpose. For example, the use Of
this corn starch is bread results in a
fine grain and delicious flavor, with a
crust unusually tender. The experts
found also that it greatly improves the
consistency of soups, gravies and sau-
ces, and gives jellies d pleasing firmness
for moulding, makes pastries more deli
cate, and 50 on through many helpful
uses.
With a view to giving housewives
everywhere the full benefit Of this in
vestigation, the National Starch Com
pany, successors to the old firm of T..
kingsford & Son, 0swego, n. Y, have
embodied the results in book form,
which they are now distributing graf
uitously among applicants.
This book is unique in every respect,
containing not only a great many ORR
ginal receipts but carefully arranged
list of helpful cooking hints and sug-
gcstions. There Is little wonder that
the demand for the book is enormous,
for every woman interested in good
cooking wants a copy.

hid all the charm Of manner of the
most elegant Kentucky gentleman. He
was very proud Of his Ladybird In
deed. I didn't believe there was any
thing in the world he preferred ex-
cept me. He cxpatiated upon the good
points OF his mare for some time when
\ artfully drew him to speak Of d
matter Of more moment to me. But |
was thinking all the while that I
would like to know whether lie pre-
ferred me to his horse Just then who
should come up behind us but Colonel
Armsby, driving his Kentucky Belle,
who was to be entered for the coming
races.
The colonel bowed politely to me
and scowled at the general, being
pretty well aware that his rival had
been successful. Indeed, had told the
colonel SO. The general tipped Lady
bird with his whip, and she began to
move her beautiful long legs more
rapidly. ! knew at once that there
would be a desperate race between the
rivals and that neither would give up
to the other unless forced to do SO.
If one had had d track for 1t, there
would have been no especial danger,
but for two men who were counting
the same woman to fight it out on an
ordinary road
Eight what outy" asked the lady
from Ohio.
"Why, which would get the lady, Of
course"
ooh"
Il appreciated the danger, for knew
General Anderson would kill bis $10,-
600 horse rather than be defeated, and
| feared he would kill me too. Well,
as soon as we caught up with the
colonel both horses dashed forward as
IL shot out of a cannon Both were of
the best Kentucky stock. Ladybird
was perhaps half hand higher than
Kentucky Belle, but the latter had d
trifle longer reach. The colonel got his
start q few lengths behind us, but was
steadily gaining. Presently he came
up neck and neck, and 1t was not long
before he was full half length ahead.
Then, coming to a gully in the road,
rather than force us over 1t, he refined
In for us to take the smooth passage,
but his horse was so much better than
the generals that he soon regained his
loss. He was q length and half
ahead when we struck stone, lifting
our buggy into the air and lifting me
several feet higher than the buggy.
When / came down, the buggy had
gone on, and / sat In the road
Il was stunned, but kept my eyes on
the racers. Presently / saw Colonel
Armsby slow up. General Henderson
went on. The colonel turned, drove
back and, alighting knelt beside me,
with an agonlzed expression Of counte-
nance. Then he lifted me into his
buggy and drove me home. The gen
eral, thinking his rival was still in the
race, drove on for mile before dis
covering that he had gone back.
The test had been too much for the
man 1 had chosen, but not too much
for the man married. A Kentucky
gentleman who will lose a race for the
woman he loves is a lover of the good
old days Of chlyaIry. OSCAR cox.
