heard "a address not long-ago on how 70
cope with the rural question in the churches,
and the speaker said; "Have something to eat !;
1t is the common ground on which all me a

Here is an idea we have been using lately
using peanut butter in salads. We End IL is
nice with the salad dressing either for salads
or SANDWICHES. We keep salad dressing on
hand all the time, and use all ieft-oyers as
salads rather than warmed-oyer dishes
and like them better for supper on n warm
day.
Here is recipe for salad dressing that
will keep for weeks. We double the amounts
for summer use.
Put one cup vinegar to boil in dou bic boiler
II vinegar is very strong, add a little water.
Mix together two tablespoons sugar, one tea
spoon salt one teaspoon mustard and heap
ing tablespoon -four Add two well-beaten
eggs. then add slowly two tablespoons melted
butter. stirring constantly. Add one-half

into the boiling vinegar, and cook as thick as
cream, stirring we'll.
This may be used for fruit salad by thinning
with either sweet or sour cream. The sim.
plest fruit salad is made Of diced apple. but
this is improved by adding wainuts, peanuts,
bananas, oranges or other fruits.
Perhaps will write about something be-
sides salads aud the weather next time.
These recipes, Mol, will be very helpful.

our lives better to know.
