Spanish Stew
THIS WEEK

Mrs A. j. Waterhouse, 2422 McGee
Avenue, Berkeley
Melt half a cup of beef suet in a
good size kettle, and when hot drop
in six medium size onions, sliced stir
these while cooking to prevent burn
ing and when tender drop in six me-
dunn size tomatoes, sliced, and from
which the skins have been removed.
This furnishes more liquid for the
stew, TO which no water must be
added, and makes it less apt to burn,
but occasional stirring is necessary.
While the tomatoes are cooking add
three bell peppers, sliced thin, leaving
out the cores. Add salt literally and
from a quarter to half teaspoonful
of cayenne pepper, according. to taste.
Lastly, add a pound of we'll cooked
beef cut into small pieces. The beef
should be lean and tender, and need
not be prepared especially for the stew,
but can be left over from pot roast
of the day before, or from an oven
roast if it be boiled until tender be-
fore adding to the stew. This recipe
has been tried many times and has
proved most successful and makes a
pleasant change from the ordinary
bin of fare. The stew should be
served hot on hot plates. With bread
and butter it furnishes meal In it.

fore they are used; simply busting them
Is not sufficient unless you are willing
TO consume few million of microbes
with your first meals. The dish. closet

This amount of cleaning will make

keeper viii not feel really comfortable
until all the various rites of house
cleaning have been duly performed. For
this function some very methodical
house keepers make an alphabetical list
Of the things that must be done. and it
is a great convenience to have this sort
of compendium of the best ways and
processes TO save time and worry dur
ing the house cleaning. It is better to
take a room at a time instead of turn
ing the whole house upside down at
once, and in this way 1t is really not
so much of an ordeal as the masculine
part Of the community would have us
believe.
t. To begin at the beginning. the first
subject is
Aprons-Wear a short skirt and an
enveloping apron that comes down to
the edge of the skirt. and an old waist
with elbow sleeves, if you want to be
comfortable.
Bathroom-Kerosene oil will remove
dirt and stains from the porcelain tub
and bowls. For bad spots use pow
dered rottenstone with the kerosene;
this gives gentle friction, but will
not scratch the surface. Pour strong
hot solution of washing soda down all
the pipes to clear them. If the floor
is tiled wash it with soap and some
good cleaning powder. When the tiles
are badly stained pour little muriatic
acid on them and rub with wooden
cloth: be very careful not to inhale the
fumes. For the nickel fixtures direc-
tions are given under nickel.

The modern methods Of bringing UP
children are very far removed from
. the way IN which our grand
mothers were raised The old fash
toned regime was founded on such pre-
cepts as Children should be seen and
not heard" and a collection Of prim
copy book maxims OF which the prin-
cipal idea seemed TO be that the child
needed constant suppression and cor
rectfOn and snubbing in order TO keep
Il in its proper place.
There were practically no spoiled
children in those days. II we are to be-
lieve the records, yet the little folks
BID not appear to be especially un-
u happy: they had good times in well
regulated and orderly way whenever
their elders thought best TO let them,
but they were kept very decidedly
within their own sphere, which was
quite distinct and separate from the
sphere Of the grown people. There
was no question Of chumiuess be-
tween the parent and child; the good
understanding and comradeship which
one so often sees nowadays, when
mother and daughter and father and
son share the same sports and inter-
ests, was unthought of then. Perhaps
this is one reason why there are no
old people now; keeping in close touch
with young folks helps to keep people
young, whereas a while ago the mother

hyacinths; the long stemmed tulips,

Nevertheless. there were some good
things about the old system; too much
discipline was without doubt better for
the child and for the community in
which II lived than no control at all.

The truth is that bringing up chill
