quart Of broth or stock, a slice Of
pumpkin, q small piece of sugar, three
tablespoonfuls Of cream, some crou-
tons of fried bread. Method-ChOp up
finely the turnips, and toss them in

Add to this the pumpkin boiled in the
broth. Pass the soup through a sieve,
adding to it a small piece OF sugar,
the cream, and croutons Of bread
fried a golden brown in butter.
POtage a la d'Aumale: Ingredients
-Twenty-four large mussels, a small
bunch Of parsley, one onion, three
pints Of beef broth, croutes Of bread.
MethOd-ScTape and wash the mus
sells. Cook them il water with the
parsley and onion (sliced). Then
take the musseIs out of the shells and
trim them. Place them in a soup
tureen with the croutes Of bread,
which have previously been Drowned
in the oven. Strain the broth and add

Maple Sugar Cake.

Put one pound Of shaved maple
sugar. one-half of a pound Of butter
and four tablespOonfuls of milk in a
saucepan; let it cook slowly until the
butter is melted; take from the fire
and cool slightly, but add while still
hot one-han of an ounce Zone table
spoonful OF ground ginger and three
quarters of g pound of sifted -four.
Beat thoroughly, add heaping table,
spoonful OF baking powder and bake in
thin sheets. This quantity of -four
will be too much for spring wheat, but
l should add a little at a time until
the cake is the proper consistency.
This is very rich and delicious, but
should be used while warm.
More -four may be added TO the
same batter, the baking powder omit
ted: the dough after being well worked
may be rolled thin, cut in small cakes
and baked in a moderate oven.

For Timina Zoos.

An egg alarm is one of the latest
additions to the kitchen equipment. It
is a German invention. at least it
comes to us from that country, and
is intended to act as a reminder to the
cook when the eggs are done. 1t is
made of an oblong piece Of porcelain
fitted in the center with a clock. dial
and an alarm bell. The dial is marked
on into minute sections up to the num-
Der Of five When the eggs are put
into the water the alaEm is set for
two, three, four or five minutes and
the cook need not be bothered with
watching the clock to see that the eggs
DO not boil too hard. When the time
is up the bell rings sharply as a signal
that the eggs are done just right.

Maxine Ice Tea,

If ice tea is to be made from the tea
left over from the MONDAY meal or
any previous meal it should be strained
from the leaves and put in pitcher in
the ice chest. Many leave the tea and
leaves together, thinking it will be
stronger. True it will, but the tannin
is very injurious and such ice tea Is
really very harmful The best tea is
made with enough good tea to extract
the flavor with boiling water in few
minutes. Tea is best served in very
thin glasses with shaved or lump ice.
Slice the lemon, slit a slice and place
it over the rim OF the glass. Place the
glass on a glass tumbleT coaster or in
a small saucer with silver spoon.

All in the SERVING.

Even an ordinary pudding Of a
creamy nature takes on a new appear
ance if served in the tall-stemmed
sherbet glasses. A tasty pudding
served in this way at a recent dinner
was made with rice and chocolate,
topped with whipped cream. The pud-
ding is made in the same way as the
ordinary creamy baked rice pudding
except that grated chocolate is added.
A baked custard, topped with whipped
cream and dotted with Maraschino
cherries, came to the table in sherbet
glasses the other day.

A Cake Hint.

Always steam fruit cake; you will
not have to worry about your oven be-
ing too hot or there being a hard
crust on your cake. Put on your
boiler, being sure there is a good fire;
put bricks in the bottom, so as to
bring your cake about the center Of
the boiler. Invert tin on the bricks,
set your cake Cn this, cover with an
other tin, so the steam cannot drip on
the cake. Keep the water at boiling
polnt and steam three hours. Set in a
slow oven one-haIf hour.

A Substitute for snlnach.

The tender leaves Of young beet
tops or tuTnips may be used instead
of spinach and make pleasant
change for the lover OF greens.
Thoroughly wash leaves to remove
grit and boil until tender. Drain, press
out the water and dress with butter,
salt and pepper. stirring in q saucepan
until thoroughly heated
The flavor is much improved If a
little vinegar and oil are added on ehe
table. This Is better than serving il
with the greens as many persons pre-
fer the butter dressing.

Grape Juice Punch.

This is excellent and has the merit
of being non-alcoholiC. Cook together
one pound sugar and a half-pint water

fire and turn over : large cup of
strong tea. Add the juice of six lem
ons and the same number of oranges,
with a quart of grape juice, and stand

sEsT WAY TO CLEAN ZINC.
suIphurie Acid Will Do it, But II Must
Be Handled with Care.

Zinc is one or the most difficult
metals to keep bright and stainless,
1t can be cleaned with suIphuric acid
but the greatest care must be OBJ
served in using this strong chemical.
If you viii do the work yourself, or
have it done under your personal su-
pervision, you will find this method
satisfactory:
Have the zinc we'll washed with
soap and hot water, that no trace OF
grease may remain on it; wipe it very
dry.
Make two mOps by fastening pieces
Of cloth on two sticks; have on hand
two pals OF clean. cold water and a
cleaning cloth.
Put into a stOneWaTe bowl one
quart of cold water and very grad
ually add three ounces of sulphuric
acid.
Be very careful not to allow the acid
to touch your hands Dip one Of the
mops in the acId water and swab the
zinc; in a few seconds 1t viii begin
to look bright and clear.
When this occurs wash with the
second mop and clear water; follow
this with a good washing with a cloth
and water to which household am
monia has been added in the proper
ton of a tablespoonful of ammonia to
quart of water. Rub the cleansed
surface with dry whiting. Be sure to
add the acid to the water, and not the
water to the acid

TO MARINADE OR LARD MEAT.
Two Processes That Will Distinctly
improve the Flavor.

While meats are so very high, many
a housewife will buy the cheaper cuts,
and marinade them to make them ten
der. Marinading is a process with a
formidable name and a simple mean
ing To marinade is simply to soak
meat in a mixture for some hours, OF
even days, with the idea of improving
its flavor or sOftening its fbers and
making it tender. Vinegar, oil, pepper
and salt are mixed together and the
meat is packed in the mixture; some
times a slice of onion and some herbs
are added. The meat should, of course,
be wiped first, but not washed. The
process is more frequently used for
meat than for fish. Larding is quite
easy-it only requires care and accu-
racy. 1t simply needs a larding needle
and some neatly and evenly cut strips
of fat bacon or pork, which are used
exactly as if they were pieces of wool
or thread, one large stitch being taken
through the meat and the short ends
of the fat left sticking out The strips
are called lardons. The fat bacon or
pork to be used in the process should
be kept In cold place. Use that part
of the pork which lies between the
rind and the vein. Lean and dry meat
and some kinds Of game are much i'm
proved by larding.

best method of determination of the
buzzing bugs, there Is no certain
method except slapping them vigor-
ously on the wrist when they put in
an appearance there. Killing them
off one at a time is slow work but
sure, and is about the only effec-
tive method of getting rid Of them.
There are various preparations with
which to anoint the face and hands,
guaranteed to keep them from alight-
ing, but the odor of anti-mosquito
preparations is often times more dis
agreeable than the boring opera
tions of the mosquito itself. An old
fashioned smudge is one way of
driving them away from the radius
of the smoke. Possibly the fretting
that follows upon the presence of
mosquitoes is not altogether a bad
thing, as it may keep us from fret
ting over something more or less
serious, after the manner of David
Harum's dog and the feas. Luck
lily we are above the yellow fever
zone, and the virtue of that disease
is not to be found in the ever ready
mosquito bill. .+.v .a.@ =

Doesn't Like This sGhosting.''

Hillsboro Banner: Some of the
supporters of Thomas F. Marshall
are endeavoring to discredit M. N.
Johnson in the eyes of the people
by circulating the report that he has
an understanding with Mckenzie
and the old stalwart machine. That
sort of thing is unworthy of men
who pretend to be in favor of hon
est politics. Mr.. Johnson has made
a clean and honorable campaign. He
his a place on the ticket and in all
probability he will win out in No
vember. One remarkable feature Of
Mr.. Johnson's run is the fact that he
has spent no money in the primary
canvass and had no organization be-
hind him and has depended entirely
upon his past record and his popu-.
larity with the masses. He is a
formidable opponent, and Tom Mar,
shall and his friends fully realize the
fact. .Sj5. 55

its cinch that no person who
