Therefore do not put in more imam

When boiling beets. peas, squash

water will improve them.
A skillful cook attributes her famed
success in making delicious mayon-
naise to the fact that she always adds
a few drops of onion juice.
Salt mackerel should be soaked over
night with the skin side up. Change
the water the last thing before going
to bed and again upon rising. salt

When some member of the family IS
belated his dinner should be kept hot,
not in the oven, where it will dry out,
but on a covered plate over a pan OF
boiling water
The freshness of fish can be readily
Judged by redness of the gills, bright
ness of the eyes and firm, odorless

STALE BREAD

Besides actual money waste. the eco
nomical housekeeper finds it incon-
venient not to have stale bread on
hand. There is so much that can be
done with it, from the stuffing of fowls
to the preparation of desserts, that 1t
is a good plan in large families to buy
an extra loaf every other day to keep
for drying.
Do not use bread for crumbs that
has not been carefully dried. If al
lowed to get very stale in the bread
box it frequently has a musty flavor.
Do not, on the other hand, brown it in
the oven, as it does not make a good
color in frying. Put in a cool oven
over night and it is usually dry enough
in the morning to crate or roll.
Do not use crusts for crumbs. Bread
is better than rolls or biscuit. While 1t
is provident to have a supply of crumbs
in glass Jars for emergencies. do not
prepare large quantities at once. The
flavor is better If crumbs are freshly
rolled, says the Montreal Star.
Never omit to sift crumbs, whether
rolled or runthrough a gra err. Bef r.
cooking season with salt and pepper
and add dots of butter if not intended
for deep fat frying
Another use for stale bread is to
make small. well Drowned pieces of
Bread day old is best. Toast it evenly
and cut off the crusts with sharp
knife to make an even edge. These
bits are shaped according to the dish
in which thew are to be served-long
and thin slices or triangles. Dia-
monds and rounds are used under in
dividual dishes. as tomatoes, eggs,
Welsh rarebit. Croutons are frequent
ly substituted for toast forms.

ton is to cut slices of white bread

TRUNK REST

If YOU have many visitors, it pays to
buy a trunk rest. Not only does II
save vo11r carpets but the back of the
guest especially if her trunk is of the
steamer variety.
Where such a stand is not owned. an
extra rug to match the carpet and
little larger all around than a trunk
will prevent uns' ghtly marks on your
floors. See that the trunk is put on
this rug, also that heavy blocks OF
wood are put back of the trunk against
the wall so that the lid when lifted
does not mark the walls.

BROOKHAVEN PLANS
CANE SYRUP FACTORY

Mr.. G. e. Brignall loaded car with
pure sugar cane syrup yesterday for
shipment to Illinois, says the Lincoln
County Times. The car contained g.
500 gallons and the cane was grown
on his place and that of F. A. May
in Lincoln county. The shipment is
made up of gallon cans, fiye-gallon
cans and half barrels.
Mr.. Brignall shipped a car of syrup
last year to Illinois and when he
made his rounds this year as sales
man found it no trouble to get orders
from those who had tried it then.
Men who took sample gallon then
ordered FIVE and ten gallons this year
Mr.. Brignall will probably ship an
other car this fall.
Mr.. Brignall's success for two seas
ons in selling the homemade syrup
has caused our business men to plan
the erection of central syrup factory
for Brookhaven which will probably
be erected in time to take care of
next years crop. With uniform
grade of syrup, Mr. Brignall says that
almost any size output can be sold
easily in Illinois. His experience in
selling has, also shown him that the
Northern market is ripe for buying
South Mississippi sorghum, which is
of quality superior to that raised in
other sections Of the country.
