NEW IDEAS IN COOKERY.
Candied Citron and Banana Pie Are
Both Recommended.

A novelty for the home candy max.
ers is candied citron. Go make It,
Peel and core the citron and cut
1t into strips or cubes. Weigh the
fruit, and to each pound of it allow
a pound of granulated sugar and
teaspOonful of water Put sugar and
water into porcelain-lined kettle and
cook to a sirup, laying the citron in it
as soon as the sugar is dissolved.
When the fruit - tender take it out
OF the kettle with .aTforated spoon.
and spread on . .ad platter while
you add little ginger to the sirup,
then bOii until it is thick.
Stir in little lemon juice, return
the citrOn 20 the kettle and stir until
candied AID thick with sugar, then
drain and lay on platters to dry.
Banana pie is the latest for the pie
weary. This does not mean that the
fresh fruit is sliced up-it is a much
richer fruit than this, and is made Of
eyapOrated bananas They are treat
ed like dried apples of old before be-
ing made up into pastry.
The evaporated bananas hold
dozen things for the house that gets
tired of its bill of fare. Breakfast
food, pancake flour and cookies with
a dainty favor all their own are made
from the banana -four, "of which,"
say the cooking experts, you can
make anything that can be made OF
white -four" Banana figs, which are
dried in their own sirup. are a new
form of the fruit to add to the Christ
mas preserve table, and banana sirup
is put up as rival of maple sirup in
flavor

to Deal with Case.
A. ). DAVte

It is a good thing for at least one
member of every family to have a lit
tie knowledge of medicines, in case of
emergency. and the information should
be acquired by one sufficiently inter
ested to make some study of the mat
ter. Some people regard minor all
ments as too trifins for any attention,
while others grant so much impor-
tance to slight disturbances that there
is eventually great waste of time and
money 1t would seem that some one
in a family who would observe care
fully, storing valuable knowledge by
experience. and who would study trust
worthy sources would prove to be an
indispensable comfort in the home.

needed, and just what to do without

There are so many emergencies for
which frail humanity must be pre-
pared that one short article could
scarcely begin the long list. But the
following few suggestions may serve
as the first guide post on this particu-
lar path of research. Cause, preven-
tion and cure should be the systematic
divisions of this study. Colds" are

Of caaeouc Tpaprra afr ig a pOWarful
ally Of this disease. 1t may be in a
bedroom. a schoOlroom. a public hall,
a crowded drawing room. There is
more illness caused by defective ven
tilation than by draughts. If one is
exposed to the latter. and yet is warm
ly clad and moving briskly, there is no
danger. The factor most potent in re-
sisting cold is a healthy circulation of
blood; such a condition cannot exist
for a moment without pure air.
Preventives of cold and its various
catarrhal conditions consist chiefly in
common sense, that rarest Of all viz
, tues. That means keeping the body
sturdy in all its vulnerable points-a
throat that is used to exposure. a head
that often goes hatless. feet that may
get wet without harm providing they
are reshod as soon as inactive), body
that never feels the cold when 1t is
hurrying about in fresh air. The cure
OF colds is a simple matter if begun in

Cooking Mushrooms.

Among the many different ways of
preparing them there are two simple
ones-brOiled and saute-which prove
best, on account of their retaining the
mushrooms own flavor. In all In
stances cut the stem OF close to the
gills and peel the cap from edge to
crown. If to be broiled cook them
over low fire, laying them upon an
oyster broiler, placing the gills down
for a few moments with a fork turn.
Carefully scatter very little salt over
them and, previous to their getting
tender, place pit OF butter In the CEN
ter OF each mushroom. In melting itl
will pass through the gills, improving
them greatly. Serve on hot toast
which allows all Of the mushroom
flavor to come forth. In saute place
them in a saucepan with a triae OF but

meath a cover, about three-quarters Of
an hour over boiling water. The brown
juice cooks out, which moistens the
toast. Cream may be used. II is i'm

How TO Boil an Eoa,

Most people drop an egg into boiling
water and let it cook steadily for three
minutes for a sO-Called soft-boiled
egg. The proper way to sOft-boil an
egg is to remove the saucepan from the
fire when the water reaches boiling
point; drop the egg in at the moment
of removal, cover the saucepan and
leave the egg in the water for six
minutes. When there are two eggs let
them stay eight minutes. For medium
cooked, ten minutes are required, and
for hard-boiled half an hour.

Last year called a meeting in my
