Household Notes

Thing is not only used in the bath
room, bat is becoming popular for the
vestibule and conservatory.
When making apple or any fruit pie
always place the quantity of sugar
required on lower crust first and if
will bake more satisfactorily.
1t is said that in sprinkling clothes
if a whisk broom is used the clothes
Will be dampened much more evenly
than by sprinkling with the hand.
Keep supply of emery paper in
the kitchen as it removes rust and
bad blemishes from the stove and is
also useful for cleaning rust from any
of the kitchen articles.
For a housewife who does her own
work a one-piece white oilcloth apron,
with bib and sleeves, bound with
white tape, protects dresses and saves
laundering of shirt waists and kitchen
aprons.
To clean plaster of paris pieces
brush as clean as possible, then give
a coating of whiting and water. Your
pieces will look like new. When very
dirty wash carefully. dry and brush
with the liquid whiting.
Get good grade of very light limo
leum to line the pantry shelves and
you will never regret making evea
what will be an expensive but wise
purchase. The linoleum will last for
years and is easily cleaned and al
ways looks neat.
Keep hominy, cracker crumbs. rice,
dried beans and everything of like
nature in jars They are more easily
found than when kept in paper bags.
The cupboard will be neater and abb
soIutely no dust can get into the food
in this manner.
Stains on an enamel bathtub may
frequently be removed by rubbing on
OF vinegar and salt. They should re-
main for a moment and then be wash
ed off. Any sort of rough sand soap
laundry variety should be used Once
a week the enamel should be .gone
over with kerosene and then thor
oughly washed.

DIET FOR RHEUMATISM.

Unquestionably the most active cause
OF rheuma tism, as we'll as OF migraines
sick headache, Bright's disease, neu@
rasthenia. and number Of other kin
bred diseases. is the general use OF
flesh food, tea and coffee. and alcoholic
liquors. AS regards remedies, there
are no medicinal agents which are OF
any permanent value in the treatment
of chronic rheumatism. The disease
can be remedied only by regimen
that is, by diet and training. A sim
pie dietary, consisting Of fruits, grains
and nuts, and particularly the free use
Of fruits, must be placed in the first
rank among the radical curative meas
ures. Water, If taken in abundance,
is also means Of washing out the

Creamed Vegetables.
Euphemia Woods.

To the inexperienced housekeepel
there is something quite appalling in
the sound of the name of even the
most common vegetable, when the
word creamed is placed before it. Tt
brings visions of fashionable hotels
and high-priced restaurants, and
causes many doubts as to the ability
| of any ordinary cook to produce a
dish that shall be fit to associate with
| so fine a name.
As a matter of fact, it does not re-
quire a vast amount of intelligence
to make g. very palatable dish of any
one of the numerous vegetables that
lend themselves to the Dreaming"
process, nor are half the recipes
usually given to this branch of cook
ing of any real use.
If the cook has the sense of taste
well developed, the battle is practi-
cally won. If she is deficient in that
most necessary characteristic of the
great cook. still she need not despair,
for she can learn by experience what
sort of seasoning is best for the diff
ferent vegetables. and how much of
ii will be tolerated by her family.
To cream vegetables they should
first be cooked until tender in clear
water. then cut into slices and stewed
for a few moments in a rich gravy,
made by stirring a little flour into
thin cream, seasoning to taste, and
letting it come to a boil.
There you have the outlines. Now
for the variations.
To begin with, few housekeepers can
afford cream, and milk must be used
instead. This necessitates the use of
more butter, for 7reamed vegetables
are not good unless the gravy is suf-
ficiently rich.
Then. some vegetables are better TO
be cooked in so small quantity of
water that it will be almost cooked
away when the vegetable is tender.
The potato is of this class. Such veg
etables should be cut into slices be-
fore they are cooked, and the gravy
poured over them when tender. that
none of the liquid in which they are
cooked need be lost. Most people pre-
fer asparagus creamed in this way,
but some find the taste of the aspara-
gus too strong.
Turnips, carrots, and other strong
tasting vegetables should be cut into
slices, and either boiled in a great deal
of water, or the first water should be
poured off after few moments, and
fresh boiling water added When ten
der, they should be SKINNED out,
drained, then turned into the gravy.
AS a rule. pepper, salt and butter
form the only seasoning for creamed
vegetables, but sweet herbs or spices.
or extracts, are sometimes added
when the dish is to be as 'Frenchy"
as it can be made.
Among the vegetables that are nice
ereamed, we have asparagus, cabbage,
carrots, cauliflower, sweet corn, hulled
corn, eggplant, onions, potatoes, sal
sify, turnips and pigweed.
Don't turn up your nose at the last
mentioned dish, just because you never
tried it and don't know how good it
isl Pick 1t while very tender discard
ing all that is not quite brittle. Par
boil it for five minutes. drain it. add |
boiling water and a little salt, and let
it cook until well done, then skim it
out and boil two or three minutes in
a rich gravy.

cording to the usual rule for pie crust,
but is a rich sweet crust made as fol-
