Use of Citron.
have lots of citrons, but know of no
way to put them up for use in cake. Will
you kindly publish recipe for them? l
think l should call it crystallized citron
Would you publish as well directions for
sailing down string or wax beans for winter
use? MRS. G."
You make the common mistake of think
ing that the citron melons, so called are the
same as the citron of commerce which you
describe as crystallized citron. The citron
you buy to put in cake grows on a tree and
is member of the lemon family. It has
nothing in common with the citron melon,
except the name. The melon can be made
into good preserve, treating it by the same
recipe you would use in preserving water
melon rlnd, but 1t is impossible to make 1t
Of the citron used In cake. This error has
been made by number of other house
keepers who have sent me the same re-
quest. I hope the directions for sailing
down wax string beans for winter use
may be supplied by some Cornerite who has
tried the recipe and proved it good. The
recipe for baking powder you were good
enough to send will appear later

We hear frequent complaints of the diff
Guilty of putting the supply and the need In
touch. Those of us who are overwhelmed
with the illustrated magazines which litter
our tables and crowd our book shelves often
long for some use to which we could put
them. We don't like to throw them into the
furnace or send them away by the scaven-
ger. Here is one place where they would
do real good, and l shall hope to receive
many requests for the address of this school
teacher and that she may get all the ma
terial she desires for her pupils scrap books.

Will extend a helping hand to girl who is
trying to get enough material together to

boys? We have been given large room
for our clubroom, but we haven't much to
