NEW USE FOR SUGAR BETS
Flour Made From Them Is Sweet and
Suitable for Cakes and
Puddinqs.

An entirely new use, and one that
may in time become important, has
been discovered for sugar beets. This
is the making of them into flour. This
flour is now being manufactured in
considerable quantities at SuFesnes,
in France, where an immense dryer
has been built for the purpose.
The first part of the process con-
sists in chopping up the beets and
drying the water out of them. They
contain to start with 70 per cent Of
water, nearly all Of which is removed
by evaporation. By this means 100
pounds of dry material is obtained
from 357 pounds of beets.
THU dry material contains more
than 10 per cent. of sugar and there
fore on being ground to a fine meal
is exceedingly sweet and adapted to
the making of cakes and buildings.
The sugar beet flour is estimated to
contain something like 80 per cent. OF
pure nutriment-Baker's Weekly.

State Aid for Roads.

Although county clerks are not re-
quired by law to report until October
1, the amounts voted by the various
towns and counties for state aid i'm
provements preliminary reports are
already in from many of them Infor-
nation received from this and other
sources would indicate that thirty-five
counties will ask state aid in excess
of their apportiOnment and thirty-two
will ask for amounts less than their
apportionment. Four counties have
taken no action.
Those counties in which the towns
have failed to vote any money, or
enough money to exhaust the state aid
available for the county, still have
chance to get state aid if the county
board at a special meeting held on or
before October 1 votes a county tax
equal to two-thirds of the cost of the
desired road improvements
The proceeds of the county tax, to-
gether with the state money, may be
spent on the county system of pros
pective state highways at point Sc
lected by the county board or its
committee. Money voted by the towns,
together with the county and state aid
drawn by it, must be spent at points
on the system selected by the people
of the town or by the town board.

Yeast Cakes.

Take one quart of fresh buttermilk
and put it in a double boiler and heat
to boiling point; carefully sift in
enough white cornmeal to make as
thick as Cruel. Remove from the fire
and cool to lukewarm. Have soaked
two yeast cakes in just enough water
to cover; when the Cruel is lullewarm
add the yeast cakes and let stand two
hours in a warm place, being careful
not to get too hot; at the end of two
hours the mixture will be fermenting
and then add sufficient cornmeal to
make into cakes. Put 1t on the bread
board and make loaf, and then it
can be cut in cakes all the same shape.
Place on board and dry in the sun,
being careful to bring in at night.
When thoroughly dry it is ready for
use Put in tin cans and it can be
kept for months.

Sewino Room Hints.

In sewing a piece of material on
the bias to a straight piece, the for
mer is apt to become stretched. To
avoid this the bias should be placed
on top, and carefully held in with the
thumb of the left hand to prevent its
stretching.
A convenience for the sewing room
Is a wooden panel with rows of wire
nails driven into it and spools Of
thread put on the nails. If it is hung
near the sewing machine and the
work basket the desired number Of
thread may be quickly found.
A mend in a kid glove is less like
" to tear out again if the edge of
the tear is buttonholed before being
drawn together. The buttonho1ed
edges are oversewn.

THE FIRELESS COOKER
ITS CHARACTER AND PLACE IN
THE KITCHEN LABORATORY.
Keeping Hot Things Hot and Cold
Things Cold for Long Periods,
1t Is Adapted for Special
Uses.

Not few seem not to understand
the place the fireless cooker is fitted
to occupy in the kitchen laboratory.
All cooking is done by the applica-
ton of heat in some form; without
heat there is no cooking that we
know anything about Now, the fire.
less cooker is not a generator of heat.
1t neither generates heat nor does it
provide place where heat can be
generated. On the other hand, it is
simply utensil or continuance to con-
serve heat that has been produced
elsewhere. The fireless cooker, then,
is box or receptacle with tight-clos-
ed walls, which are non-conductors of
heat. And on exactly the same prin-
ciple that the cooker conserves heat,
it conserves cold, also. That is,
neither heat nor cold passes readily
from within the non-conducting walls
of the cooker outside. nor from the
outside within the same. The fireless
cooker, then, is a we'll designed ap-
pliance to keep hot things hot and
cold things cold.
The advantage of cooking certain
articles by the long-continued, slow
process is well known to good cooks;
and right here comes in the usefulness
of the casserole and fireless cooker.
For instance, certain dishes, as meats,
buildings, custards, ETC., after being
thoroughly heated by the coal or gas
range, may be quickly transferred to
the freless cooker and inclOsed air.
tight. After ten or twelve hours these
dishes will be found not only to have
been transformed by the long, slow
process of cooking in the pent-up heat
into welI-cooked and delicious viands,
but also to be still hot. Hence the
primary use of the fireless cooker is
to provide q ready means for the ap-
plication of the long, slow process OF
cooking; and, with it, this process can
be carried on as we'll by night as by
day. The individual housekeeper will
soon learn how to adapt its use to
her own times and occasions and spe-
cial needs.-Boston Cooking School
Magazine.

To Probe HIGH LIVING Cost.

10 FFoUc T7i9n Living CcSt.
Where does the consumers dol.
lar go? An answer to this question
will be attempted by the state
board of public works, a new
commission created by the last legis-
lature, ostensibly to work out some
uniform system of bookkeeping, but
which under its power may investigate
numberless other things connected
with the welfare of the common
wealth; and it is understood that Gov
ernor McGovern, who is the father
of the idea, purposes through this
commission to make living cheaper
and better for the residents of Wis
consin.
One of the first questions the COM
mission will take into consideration
is the method of placing foodstuffs
on the market, with a view of ascer-
tanning just how much the producer
receives from the middleman and the
ratio of profit exacted by the retailer
from the ultimate consumer
Considerable data already have been
obtained Thus it has been learned
that the bulk of potatoes which re-
tailed In Milwaukee at upward of 81
a bushel this spring had been bought
for 80 cents and less from the grower
last fall and stored for spring and
summer consumption, so that the
farmer in truth received only little
of the high price paid by the con-
sumner. Again, market men in Mil
waukee continued to charge high
prices for meats weeks after the
wholesalers had announced radical re-
auctions.
In this connection the board will
study the cooperative markets, which
bring the producers and the consum-
ers in closest relationship, in Canada
markets maintained in many of the
cities of the south, like Baltimore,
Nashville, Mobile and New Orleans,
will also be studied, and it is possible
that communities will be urged to
adopt like systems as means Of
and the retailer.
Former Senator Hatton, who has
been placed at the head of the COM
mission, while a bachelor, says he
feels keenly the plight of the average
housewife and will endeavor to make
it easier for her to set the table on
what the head of the family earns.
He is one of the large manufacturers
of the state and Is thoroughly fanlil-
liar with labor conditions, particularly
in the woodworking trade, where
wages average less than So a day.
He plans to throw the meetings Of
the commission, which will be held in
various parts of the state, wide open
with view of getting at facts at first
hand, and will accept any and all
suggestions that can be embraced in
the work of the board He is par
ticularly DESTROYS of hearing from the
farmers, who in times past have been
charged by commission men with be-
ing principally responsible for the
high cost of living.
