SOME TRIPLES WORTH HEEplNo.
Advice Not the Less Unwse Because
Given in Paragraphs.

Leftover cereals need not be wasted
They are excellent fried like mush
and eaten with syrup or honey.
Clear soup or consomme should be
strained through folded towel laid
on colander. 1t must not be squeezed
or some OF the small particles OF egg
used In clearing will be forced through
and spoil the soup.
Ammonia should not be used In the
evening or near fire, nor should the
bottle be allowed to remain uncorked
II Is inflammable, and Its fumes are
not specially healthful.
II fresh FISH Is to be kept over night
1t should be sailed and laid on an
earthen dish, not placed on board or
shelf.
Covering the pan when fish Is fry
ing Is apt to make the flesh soft. A
solid, firm meat, that is at the same
time flakey, Is what the good cook
likes.
When the supply Of preserves has
run low good jelly can be made in
winter from oranges and apples mixed.
The proportions are a pint of boiled
apple juice to pint of orange Juice

THE PROCEEDINGS.

The luncheon was well attended,
| though not as largely as it should
have been in view of the intercst
developed. In the matter of reports
from committees John s. Aisthorpe,
president of the Board of Trade, said
nothing had yet been done by the
committee appointed to consider the
| proposition of consolidating some Of
the commercial organizations of the
| city. The subject would be dis
cussed at the next meeting of the
| Pr ard Of Trade and doubtless also
at the meetings of the several other
assC Citations concerned, and the com

luncheon would probably be guided
