PROPER WAY TO BOIL CORN
Many Cooks Mako Mistake Of Putting
II Into Hot Water When Starting
to Prepare II.

Not everyone knows how to boil corr
properly. Most cooks overdo the mat
ter. Contrary to the usual practice
corn should be put on to cook in cold
water, not hot. Strip off the outside
husks of fresh, tender corn, turn bach
the soft inner husks and rub of every
bit OF the silk. II there are imperfec
tions In the kernels cut them out, then
turn back the inner husks and tie In
place with one of the outside covers.
Place in a rather broad-bottomed ket
tie, cover with the clean outside husks
and pour on cold water enough just tc
reach the top of the corn. Put on the
kettle cover and set over quick fire
Watch closely and when the watel
reaches the boiling point cook exactly
five minutes longer. Lift the kettle
from the fire, take out the ears ant
serve at once in serviette. Even II
you do not wish to use the husks II
the cooking (and they give the rea
corn flavor that cannot be duplicated
in any other way) cook your corn II
cold water.
Where the corn is husked and mill
is plenty delightful way is to cool
the corn in cold milk. Allow 1t Il
cook just FIVE minutes after reaching
the boiling point-Emma Paddock Tel

The Devil Of Race Hatred.

Step right up and hit the man you
hate most.
II hate Jew" says one. So he
takes throw at "the Kike."
"I hate an Irishman," says another,
and he drives at "the Mick"
Another hates an Englishman, an
other German or Japanese; SO the
devil In human nature spends itself
In this way until wisdom touches the
human mind and says, Now calm
yourself and wipe the froth from your
mouth"
Then one begins to think and finally
learns this truth: that race hatred is
one Of the lowest and meanest of hu
man passions. A race may have more
cunning than another, but the race
that makes the accusation may have
more bluff. One may have more cul
ture, but the other may excel In sim
pie honesty. And when 1t comes tC
summing up all the virtues, faults ant
capabilities of each race one abou
equals the other.
Until we learn to Judge every in
dividual on his own peculiar merit
we haven't taken first good stel
toward social intelligence.-Art Youn
In Metropolitan.

When You Bake Cake.

The evenness and smoothness Of a
cake depends to large degree on the
way the batter is put into the baking
tins. Care must be taken that the cor.
ners are filled and that the batter does
not lie thicker in the middle Of the pan
A list or bulge in the center Of baked
cake is often the result OF lack OF such
precaution. Smooth the batter lightly
with a spoon. 1t is very necessary to
have special baking pans for different
varieties of cakes such as the angel
food pans shown by dealers. The mo
ment the batter has been spread the
cake should be put into the oven, as
It will lose its lightness II allowed to
stand.
Some OF the most delicious cakes
are ruined while turning them from
the pan. II the pan containing the
cake is set on a cloth wrung out oI
warm water and left for few minutes
the cakes will turn out without any
trouble.

There is a beautiful legend Of ST. John
the beloved, which relates that when
he was a feeble old man. too weak to
walk to the assemblies OF the church,
he was borne there by his disciples;
and addressing the people as he spread
abroad his hands. repeated again and
again these words: Love one an

When asked Why he said ever the

is nothing else; attain that and you
have enough"
Yes. love Is enough. II is measure

most Strlctness.

Friday Is too often a day Of terror,
because Fridays cleaning is made
such q difficult matter. To be sure,
Friday cleaning is . difficult matter,
especially II the whole house must
be cleaned on that day. 1t can be
much lessened, however, by going
about It systematically.
To begin with, no house should be
cleaned from top to toe on any single
day of the week. The bedrooms can
be cleaned Thursday morning, the
bathrooms Saturday and Wednesday,
the kitchen Saturday and the living
room and dining-rooms on Friday. On
Monday the whole house can be put to
rights, to make up for the extra use
It gets on Sunday. On Tuesday no
cleaning, except the daily work with
duster and carpet sweeper, need be
done.
II Friday is put aside for the clean
ing Of the living rooms and dining
rooms 1t is not a bad day at all. OF
course. these rooms are the most diff
cult in the house to clean, and the
downstairs halls must be cleaned al
the same time, and, Of course, wher
the downstairs halls are cleaned the
stairs and the upstairs halls must bt
included. Still, this is easy work fol
Friday.
Here is a suggestive schedule fol
the work OF Friday of this sort:
The rugs should be cleaned first
II there is a vacuum cleaner the!

folded and covered with big cottol
duster. II there is no vacuum clean
er, they should be cleaned out o
doors, II possible, and left piled up ol

should be busted and all the chair
and other easily moved articles shoul
be put into one room. Then the wall
and ceilings should be brushed dow
and all woodwork should be wipe
with cloth wrung out Of clear waite
or else moistened with little oil.
Then the floors hould be cleaned
The dust should be removed with
, soft brush, and then, while the dus
| is settling. the various small article
that need cleaning in the kitchen ma
be attended to. Silver desk orn,
ments and objects from the sideboar
should be polished. or nickel one
washed in hot water. and andirons an
candlesticks and lamps and mirror
and all other small. movable access,
ries should be put in order.
Then the floors should be gor
over again, either with wax or oil {
/, with broom in a canton flannel ba
to remove the last traces OF dust. tt
, furniture should then be wiped @
with a cloth on which there is lit
oil. The rugs should be laid and Il
