A CORNER FOR COOKS
JelIied Soup Meat. Iced.

Make the jelly carefully in follow ing manner: Cut into small pieces a pound of soup meat and add just enough water to cover. Let stand in cold place until water is red, then place where it will simmer slowly un- til .alI the nutriment is out of the meat. Two hours before removing from the stove add salt to taste and a teaspoonfuI of savory soup herbs. Keep the top clear from scum. When done strain carefully and set at once in a cold place, as 1t will not form into 2. firm jelly if allowed to stand in a warm kitchen. The more quickly the heat is thrown out and the liquor chilled the finer your jelly. When chilled remove all the fat from sur face, break up into moderate pieces and pile up in bouiI1on cups and serve.
