HELPFUL HINTS FOR THE BUSY
HOUSEWIFE.

A most delicious tapioca pudding is
made with canned pears for an ac-
compartment.
A few prunes or cherries are an ad-
dition to a tapioca pudding.
When making pastry, handle with
as little moisture as possible; the
more crumbly it is the more flaky 1t
will be.
When putting on the top crust, just
after rolling out spread 1t with lard
and sprinkle with -four and pat it in,
then sprinkle with cold water just be-
fore putting into the oven. 1t will
puff up and be very much fiakier than
usual.
In rheumatism the great remedy is
elimination, getting rid of tire posons
which go back into the system and
should be thrown off.
Put five or six sheets of paper in
the bottom of a fruit cake pan before
baking the cake, and it will be much
nicer, as the long baking tends to
make a hard crust, which is not al
lowed to form with the paper as pro-
lection.
A most appetizing dish to be served
either for supper or luncheon is po-
tatoes and bacon. Put layer or two
Of thinly-sliced potatoes in buttered
baksh dish and pour over a thin white
sauce or simply milk with little sea-
soning of salt, pepper and butter.
Lay over the top a few slices of nice
bacon and set into the oven to bake
for an hour or longer, depending upon
the thickness of the potatoes. Serve
from the dish, as it looks almost as
good as 1t tastes.
Whole wheat right from the gram
airy. which can be bought for two
cents pound, If cooked until soft
and the grains we'll cracked, makes an
ideal breakfast food for a growing
child. or in fact anybody, for with
cream and a bit of sugar it is meal
in itself. Children should not be al
lowed much sugar on breakfast foods;
none is better for most children, and
If they never have it they will not
miss it. Soak the wheat after bruis-
ing 1t. If desired to crack the grains,
theh put it on to cook for a half day
A fireless cooker is a fine place to
cook whole wheat.

It's side walls, while the wooden walls
are hinged at the top so that they
can be opened at any angle desired,
chains holding them in position. In
this way ventilation can be obtained
and the interior protected from rain
Or too much light. The upper section,
which has a peaked roof, has door
at one end and a series of roosts ar
ranged around the sides and ends on
the interior. One-half of the roof is
screened, too, and the top on this side
Is hinged so that it can be kept open
or closed. The entire roof can also be
slid on or off at will. This arrange
ment makes it easy to clean the house
thoroughly in all parts and keep il

Demand for Good Streets.

With the general use of the automo-
bile came the demand for the best of
streets and roads, a demand that can
not be suppressed and will not be de
MED. The more one loves nature, the
more he appreciates that which en-.
ables him to see the most and best OF
it. In the automobile, on good street
or road, one is able TO enjoy the beau
ties OF both garden and field, unham
pered by clouds of dust or the rude
jostlings incident to travel over
"natural"(?) dirt roads. We have tc
thank the automobile for our present
good roads, and many have to thank
the good roads for having an automo
