Children's Teeth Need Much Care

|of such food cling round the teeth if
these are not brushed Immediately after
such things are eaten.
In the warmth of the mouth these
particles ferment quickly, become acid
and in time cause the teeth to decay,
especially in cases wher1 they are not
very strong and sound to begin with.
Teeth, OF course, differ in different
people. A robust person generally has
u stronger make Of tooth than one of
poor constitution.
So if the children are rather fragile
it is particularly important that they
should take special care of their teeth.
They should never be allowed to make
the teeth do duty as nuteraclSers, scis-
sors, etc., and of all things they should
clean them well at bedtime and after
this eat nothing until morning.

Rendering Lard.

Cut leaf lard into small pieces and
run through the meat chopper before
rendering and you will have almost
all lard and very few cracklings wheE
through cooking. A teaspoonful of com
mon baking soda in the water in which
you start your lard to rendering makes
it white and sweet. Sprinkle thin lay

pouring in your newly rendered lard

Cheese Biscuit.

An excellent chees, biscuit is made
by sitting together two cupfuls of flour,
four teaspoonfuls of baking powder
and one and onehalf tcaspoonfuls of
salt, then with fork or the fingers
work into it quarter Of pound of
cheese and add gradually about cup
full of water. 1t is impossible to give
the exact amount of water, as flour
differs in its capacity for taking up
moisture. Toss the dough on fIoured
board, roll out and cut with a biscuit
cutter. When in the pan sprinkle over
the top bit of grated cheese.

Never throw away old stove brushes
when they are worn out. Cover them

Recipes

rHE discussion of ways to boil ham
may seem to some entirely superflu-
Gus, vet have you never noticed
that some hams retain that rich red
color and perfect taste, while Others
have brownish color and the meat
comes apart' This difference lies in
the manner of boiling. A good ham put
on in cold water ana cooked slowly, or
allowed to stand for aWEile without
cooking will lose much Of its nutrition.
The proper way to cook a ham is to
put it on in water that is already hot,
Just beginning to simmer. If it can
be kept at this temperature, which is a
few degrees below the boiling point,
so much the better. At any rate, it
should not boil vigorously, For every
pound of ham let it boil quarter Of
an hour. Thus a l6 pounC ham would
require four hours to properly cook.
When put in hot water the outer layers
of meat are cooked at once, thus pre-
venting The escape of juices which will
take place in cold water.

Saving Fuel.

All waste paper should be rolled or
crushed into loose balls, placed in buck
cts and well damped with cold water.
These paper balls may be placed in the
center of the fire, coal on top and

burn well and give out good heat for
four or five hours without touching it.
