GOOD THINGS TO
EAT IN SUMMER
A Few Suggestions for the
HouSekeeper.
What shall we eat in hot weather?

What shall we eat in hot weather?
Certain articles at once suggest them
selves in answer to this question. Fresh
vegetables and fruits are the first. both
because they are plentiful at this season
and because the appetite Graves them.
But they are not all of the bill of fare.
How shall we vary the meals so as TO
give nourishment and yet have some
thing different from the regulation
menus we have become accustomed to
during the cooler months of the year?
How shall we plan our meals in hot
weather?
Well, for a beginning. try to have less
meat than you do when the thermometer
is down and evolve something else 10
take its place.
Secondly. make a study Of cold dishes
that are appetizing as well as nonheat-
ing.

know that at the first word cold
dishes sound less pleasing than hot. You
can imagine savory qualities in the lat

Perhaps your idea Of such dishes is
bounded by cold sliced meat of various
sorts and a few salads. II you stop

Salads hold a prominent place in this
department. Not rich lobster or chicken

which Is the only idea connected with
lettuce salad in the minds of some peo-
pie. Until you have given the matter a
little attention you have no idea what
range of salads is within your grasp and
at how small trouble and expense.
Vegetable Salads.
First, I would put vegetable salads.
When you are cooking vegetables for
a hot dinner 1t is an easy thing to plan
to have cupful more of peas or beans
or carrots or any other green vegetables
than will be actually needed for the
meal and to put this aside until the
next day.
You have no idea Of how it will work
into a salad, and half a dozen vegetable
left-overs may be combined. A dish of
cold potatoes, beets. carrots. or cauli-
flower cut into dice, stringbeans, peas,
each vegetable by itself and all ar
ranged on lettuce leaves. makes 2. pret-

well-beaten eggs. and all are put over

freshness as well as expense there has
arisen a demand for white linen para

Summer Hint.

One of the most delightful drinks to
serve in the afternoon is iced tea. And
1 have never found better way Of
making it than the following: Have the
water barely warm, pour il over the
tea and let it stand at least three hours.
Tea made in this way has a beautiful
color and a delicious perfumed flavor
that can be obtained in no other way.

talking with the president of an

HEN INCUBATOR
Some Facts and Recommend
ations Regarding ihat
Useful Invention.

The old hen is still a factor in
the raising of chickens. She has
many competitors in this indus
try, but the members of the Col
orado Poultry club say that Old
Black Bess, with the top knot, is
ahead of all when it comes to
Matching eggs.
There was a time when it
looked as if the hen was to take
a back seat in the raising of
chickens. Time has proved that
nature has it on the wooden hen
a thousand ways when it comes
to the real test. This is shown,
say the poultrymen, by the fact
that where an incubator rarely
matches over G5 per cent aof the
eggs placed in it, any kind of an
old hen, who tends to her knit
ting at all, will hatch at least 95
per cent.
