WHEN COOKING MEAT.

Beef drippings are good short
ening for pie crust.
Never. when wiping meat, al
} low it to stand III cold water.
The water drains all the juices
out
TO make each layer of meat in
n steak pudding tender. try a
tiny sprinkling of sugar over
each layer.
All the strips of fat left from
a steak should be left in dish
and fried out in the oven. They
viii make excellent fat for fry
ing.
The best way to make boiled
ham juicy and tender is to leave
1t in the water in which it is
boiled until quite cold.
Try wiping a greasy frying
pan with n piece of newspaper
before washing it. Much Of the
grease will wipe off and can be
burned, thereby saving soap and
labor

ducing the Turks and the allies to re-

Intelligence from Constantinople
that Mahmud Shevket Pasha is con-

the ambassadors, for 1t was regarded
as certain that Greece, Servia and
Montenegro would not accept any
terms made by Bulgaria and Turkey
alone and such piecemeal agree

complicate the situation.
