SHE QUIT COFFEE

Frequently had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away. and any little noise would up
set me terribly. l was gradually get.
ting worse until finally one day. 1t
came over me, and l asked myself
what is the use of being sick all the
time and buying medicine 80 that ]
can indulge myself in coffee?
$50 thought would see II could
quit drinking coffee. and got some
strictly according to directions. and
want to tell you that change was the
greatest step in my life. 1t was easy
to quit coffee because l had the

EMERGENCY DISHES.

When unexpected company arrives
and a meal must be furnished IN
short time. 1t is well to have for such
occasion a shelf of foods that can be
quickly prepared. One may can at
home chicken or sausages and other
meats. which can be quickly reheated
and served.
The soups, canned and In tablet
form are easily available. and a salad
of apples and nuts is one of the ma
terials which are usually in the store
room.
A dessert may be of cakes or cook
les with dish of preserves. or pud-
ding can be made and steamed IN
twenty minutes. served with a sauce
made from the Juice of the fruit used
in 1t. For example. most delicious
little steamed pudding steamed In
cups ia made as follows:
Sift a cup of flour with two tea
spoonfuls of baking powder and lit
tie salt; mix with rich cream to make
a soft dough; drop little in creased
cups. add tablespoonful Of canned
cherries and another spoonful OF
dough. Steam for fifteen minutes, set
ting the cups into boiling water and
keeping them closely covered. A
sauce made of tho cherry Juice thick
ened and little butter added for rich
ness is very good. or cream is better.
Remove the puddings as soon as done,
for longer boiling makes them soggy.
The serving and service Of meal
is fully as important as the food pro-
vided. An elaborate meal put on to
the table without rhyme or reason 10
not nearly so pleasing as simple
meal well served by calm and happy
hostess.
Cold meats, like roast Of beef. may
be quickly served II one has at hand
some of the good sauces to use as
garnish and seasoning for them.
A tomator or two or a can Of to-
matoes seasoned with onion, pepper
and a little green or canned red pep

cayenne and poured over nicely sliced
