HOW TO UTILIZE LEFT.ovERs.

There are many people who balk ak
the thought of eating leftover food.
Their idea of hash is the limit of their
culinary knowledge on the subject.
Now, hash is homely old dish of our
grandmothers', and is not to be de-
spised. There is hash and hash "out
of all whooping," as Shakespeare says,
but well made hash is both palatable
and attractive.
The careless, improvident person is
wasteful of small bits of food and veg
etables, which, if carefully combined
make attractive dishes.
Even a dish for one is better saved
than wasted. In one family where
nothing is wasted and there are small
dishes of food left, they are combined
IN tasty small dishes and placed on
ray where each member of the fam
ly may choose which he likes best, or
they may take turns in having the
first choice. Even a stalk of celery
with an apple and few pieces of nuts
and a tablespoonful of salad dressing
will make nice dish of salad for one.
A tablespoonful of chicken in
dish of rice will flavor the whole dish
and make a pleasant change.
The coarser stalks of celery, which
are not nice enough to use on the ta-
BILE, may be cooked until tender and
served in a white sauce on toast or
used as flavor for soup stock.
Knowing how to utilize left-overs Is
science in itself, and will help out
many housewife when unexpected
company arrives. Leftover mashed
J potato may be made into potato putfs
/ or croquettes, or simply saute in lit
tie butter after making them into fat
cakes. A delicious cream Of potato
! soup may be prepared with cup
full of mashed potato. Boiled potatoes
may be hashed brown or creamed.
Every bone left from the steaks or
other cuts of meat may be utilized in
soup stock. Sauces and many dishes
are so much better favored if made
| form stock, rather than water.

potRtoes are tender. Season every
layer before adding the tomatoes.
Chicken or any kind of meat may be
served this way, and the addition Of
few peas sprinkled over the top
makes a most tasty and also pretty
dish.
A bit of chicken combined with cold
boiled potato, an apple or two, little
celery and salad dressing makes a
most appetizing salad.
