FROZEN DISHES.

There Is no dessert which ever takes
the place of ices and ice creams during
the hot weather; they are not only re-
freshing but nourishing. and are SO
universally well liked that one cannot
go amiss to serve them on all occa-
sions.
The plain Philadelphia ice cream
may be used as foundation for any
number of delightful combinations, for
example:
Nougat Ice cream.-Add half cup
full each Of chopped filberts, walnuts
and almonds with a teaspoonful each
of almond and vanilla extract. One
can buy the plain cream all frozen In
many places SO reasonably, and 1t can
be repacked with any additions Of fruit
or nuts, making the work very light.
The flavor Of peach is given by put
ting two cups Of strained peach pulp
plain ice cream.
A delicious flavor of almonds Is Civ
en- to ice cream in this manner: Blanch
and chop cup of almonds, carmelize
four tablespoonfuls Of sugar and add
the almonds. When cold grind to q
powder. add to the cream with tea
spoonful of almond extract
The most delicious of creams is
made by adding two cups of squeezed
and strained raspberries to the cream.
The color is enhanced by the addition
4 teaspoon Of lemon juice.
pretty and easy way to make
fancy dessert is raspberry bonnie:
Line melon mold with raspberry ice
and fill with vanilla Ice cream or with
pineapple ice or ice cream. Pack In

Serve with whipped cream or garnish
with fresh berries and leaves.

What business is Baetens en-

He is saloonkeeper, answered
the witness
What In hell are you talking

Judge Mandell halted the case al

court his petition was denied. AS a
result Baetens cannot legally en-
gage In the saloon business under
