washed the preserving kettle. put the
Juice back. bring to the boiling point,
skim and boil rapidly for twenty min
utes. AS soon as the juice begins TO boil,
measure an equal quantity of sugar and
put into a shallow pan; set the pan in
the oven and watch 1t that the sugar
does not brown. When the Juice has
boiled twenty minutes, add sugar and
stir until dissolved. Turn into jelly
tumblers and set away to cool. Re-
member to scald the tumblers before put
ting in the jelly. Melted parafin is good
to pour over the jelly after it is cool.
Canned Vegetable Soup.-Gather all the
vegetables just as you would for soup
sonaatoes, carrots. onions, parsley,
sweet peppers and okra. Let 1t cook
thoroughly and TO each pint add half a
teaspoonful of salt Put in cans, and
when winter comes, all you have to do
is TO add them TO any meat juice you
may have. or get can of clear soup and
add the vegetables.
Tomatoand Cucumber Jelly Salad
Peel and CRATE four good-sized cucum-
bers and put In a small saucepan with
half a cup of water, four tablespoonfuls
of vinegar, a full teaspoonfuI of onion
juice. half teaspoonful OF salt and
half a dozen whole pepper corns, or q
dash Of white pepper. Simmer I'VE to ten
minutes. press through seive and add
few drops of spinach green coloring.
Add to this gelatin that has been soak
ed In half a cup of cold water. In add
ing the gelatin bo governed by the di-
rections on the box, as different makes
vary somewhat. Pour the liquid into
smll ring molds and when stiffened put
on lettuce leaves and fill the center with
mayonnaise dressing. This will serve
about eight people.
Now I am going to tell you some new
ways Of serving your old friends. One
of the best friends your general health
has Is the carrot. A certain beauty doc
tor always prescribes it in her dietary
Ests for clearing the complexion. 1
don't believe that two girls out of
dozen in the south eat them, and those
two viii be Mortified at the idea of eat
ing raw carrot. Suppose you start off
with such a dish?
Carrot Foam.-Select large, perfect var
rots wash Thoroughly, scrape aud then
cut of the tops Crate them raw on a
coarse crater. sprinkle plentifully with
lemon JUICE and serve at once with may
onnaise. Lettuce hearts and slices OF
lemon make pretty garnish for this
dish.
Cabbage SaIad.-Choose a large. firm
head OF white cabbage and, after trim
ming of the imperfect leaves, hollow II
out to form a thin shell. Take the
center OF the cabbage and chop fine:
heap IL in the shell and set aside to chill
thoroughly Garnish with cold boiled
beets. either chopped or cut in fancy
shapes. and pour over 1t a cream dress
ing just before serving.
Suppose some of you experiment with
your summer vegetables and tell the rest
OF US how you come out This department
should be place for all sorts of helpful
things
As the cooler weather comes the mem
oers are beginning to return, and I'm
excepting q lot OF them to tell their va
cation experiences, and surely some of
them have carried out plans that helped
them and could be help to Others. LET
Us hear from YOU Faithfully yours.
