II was a friendly grocery clerk who

when she was no longer able to get

boy met her objections by suggesting
the use of the oblong tin boxes IN

OVEN HEAT NOT THE BEST
Hot Water Should Be Employed When
Necessity Arises to Keep Pre-
pared Food Warm.

To keep food warn is a very impor.
tant detail, to which sufficient atten-
ton is not paid. First of all, food
should never be put into the oven to
keep warm, This is a common prac-
tice and a bad one. The kind of heat
to which the article Of food is subject
ed tends to dry the surfaces, some
times to a leather, sometimes to a
crisp. This spoils the flavor and
renders the dish unappetizing.
There is but one right way to keep
warm. Put it upon a dish, plate, or
bowl, according to its consistency
over it closely with an inverted bowl,
dish, or plate; make it as alright as
possible. Half fill with boiling water
a pot or saucepan, into the top Of
which the vessel containing the food
will fit; set 1t back on the stow where
the water will be kept at boiling point
place the dish or bowl under it. anC
leave until required.
If this suggestion is followed, 1t vii
be found hat most dishes can be KEEP
