HOME HELPS

The furniture will be improved by
being wiped of occasionally with a
cloth dipped in linseed oil.
The short grass trimmings from the
lawn make very good feed for fowls.
To save face towels put hanger on
both sides of the towel and you will
find that instead of one end wearing
and the other remaining unworn, both
ends will wear evenly.
One quart of flour made up into
baking powder biscuits will make

the size of the cutter.
When using whipped cream If you
add the white of an egg to the cream
and whip with it, it requires less
cream and is more delicate in taste
and flavor.
Washing Jap silk blOuses, a tea
spoonful of methylated spirit, added

TWO VARIETIES OF PUREE
May Accompany Meat or Form the
Foundation Of a Most Sub
stantiaI Soup.

A puree may be either an accom-
paniment to meat or form the founda-
ton of a substantial soup. Whatever
vegetable Is turned into a puree must
first be well boiled, then passed
through a sieve-a work demanding
patience, it is true. The puree will
then have little butter and season
ing added to it, cream or the yolks
of eggs, or some gravy sauce, accord
ing to what meat it accompanies.
A puree of chestnuts accompanies
veal or poultry and requires the ad-
dition of a little thick cream. A puree
of white haricot beans accompanies
roast mutton.
A puree of sorrel or spinach, or
both combined, is really incest when
served without meat and placed in in
dividual cocottes or in shells Of fried
bread. After passing the spinach, etc.,
through the sieve it is beaten up with
a little butter and cream and literally
seasoned. 1t should not be boiled
more than just enough to cook it ten
der, anu then it will keep its color
and flavor.
Cucumbers, marrows, turnips, arti-
chOkes and pumpkins all make deli
cious p6rees, sweet or savory. Anoth-
or delicious puree of small white
onions and new potatoes makes a
dainty dish, if sufficient cream is add
ed, and the mixture is put into small
china dishes and Drowned on top.
The puree destined for serving
alone or as an accompaniment to
meat must be kept thick, yet smooth;
the puree that forms the foundation
of soup is heightened out to make
sufficient quantity by adding to 1t
meat or vegetable stock, and milk or
cream, or milk or eggs, etc. The eggs
and cream should not be put in until
after the puree is cooked and taken
from the fire.

Jelly Pancakes.

Jelly pancakes can be made in a

and lastly, with just enough beating
to mix all together, the flour sifted
twice with the salt and baking pow
der. Pour enough of the batter into
a hot buttered pan to cover the bot
tom. When Drowned, spread with but
ter and jelly, roll up and sprinkle

which is a good corn crop for this
