POINTS FOR THE HOSTESS
How to Overcome Some of the Little
Difficulties That Beset the Busy
Housewife.

Have you ever had a delicious din
ner ruined by warm salad? If you
have, you were doubtless enraged and
blamed the cook. She probably told
You that the salad just came from
The refrigerator, and if she is truth
full she left you without argument.
Refrigerating is about the only
method OF keeping saalds cold that
most women know. They think if the
ingredients are put In a dish on the
ice everything has been done.
Here is how one woman, noted for
her delicious salads, keeps them icy
cold. The fruit, meat or other ingre-
dents are made ready early in the
morning of the day they are to be
used, then wrapped in an old napkin
or clean muslin and laid fat on the
ice; there they stay until the last pos
sible minute for mixing.
When ready for use they are taken
out and mixed by layers with the
mayonnaise in a bowl that is chilled
by standing in a larger bowl OF ice.
The mayonnaise is kept in the refrig-
orator until needed, and the lettuce is
washed as soon as bought, then dried
and wrapped in a cloth and put fat
IN the ice until used.

COOKING DRIED STUFF
FIRELESS METHOD BEST FOR
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES.
Homemade Cooker Is Eae;Iy Con-
structed and Answers All Praeti-
cal Purposes-lmportant Points
to Be Remembered.

The fireless method Is the best way
to cook dried fruit and vegetables.
You need not buy fireless cooker Tor
the purpose unless you wish to. Make
one yourself. Simply get small dry
goods or soap box or large pail. Line
with asbestos paper and then STUN
tightly all around the top, bottom ana
sides with layers of newspapers to the
depth of three or four inches. Wpat
you must remember is that 1t must
be absolutely alright. Another thing
to remember is that your receptacle
must be nearly full. If you cook
small quantity you must have small
receptacle, as the fruit is not as like
ly to cool off before thoroughly done,
as it would II placed in half filled
pail. Wash your fruit thoroughly
first, and to one pound of same add
half pound of sugar; put water
enough in to cover by about one inch.
Boil seven minutes over flame and
then as quickly as possible place in
your fireless cooker and allow TO re-
main in there about eight hours.
Place a cushion on top of the cooker
and weight that down with something
that is heavy. When taken out one
will find the fruit will rival the best
preserves in appearance and flavor, IN
no respect suggesting that usually
served or the insipid canned products.
Each shriveled piece will swell to its
original size unbroken, distended with
a juicy aromatic liquor, and charged
with the favors which characterize
the fruit in its prime state. Tapioca
and sage are delicious with these
fruit juices in making tempting des-
serts. Dried vegetables, such as lima
beans. peas, etc, should be treated
IN the same way and given about the
same length of time to cook. Canned
vegetables which have been bought
in the stores are also much improved
by this additional process. These fire.
less cookers are also excellent for do
ing home canning of vegetables and
fruits. By canning them in this way
the house is kept cool, fuel is saved
and the housewife is free from the
fear of water boiling away. Clean and
prepare the same as for any canning
process. Dip the jars in boiling wa
ter. fill with vegetables or fruit, pour
in cold water until ii overfiows the
Jar. dip the caps in boiling water,
place them on the jars, but do not
seal tightly: allow for expansion. Put
4 perforated rest in the bottom of
your kettle, place the prepared jars
on the rest, fill the kettle with cold
water up to the necks of the jars.
Place the cover on the kettle, put on
the stove and boil Is minutes. At the
end of that time place at once into
the cooker and cover tightly. Allow
the jars to remain in the cooker from
two to three hours. then remove and
tighten the caps.
