HINTS FOR THE COOK
SOME BETTER WAYS OF DOING
KITCHEN WORK.
How To Do Away With lumps In
Making cocoa--To Keep Rice and
Macaronl From Becoming
Mushy.

+ Instead of mixing cocoa with boiling
water to dissolve 1t before putting 1t
into the cocoa pot. try mixing the dry
cocoa with an equal amount of granu.
lated sugar and then pouring 1t into
the boiling water in the pot, stirring
all the while. This does away with
the Jumps that usually have to be
fused over, and also mussy cup.
The kettle should be given frequent
baths, else lime and other salts will
settle on the bottom, which may then
be dissolved of into the boiling water.
making 1t hard"
To heat water very quickly set a
broad, fat saucepan over the fire and
cover to keep in steam.
A small uncovered board. about
the size OF rolling board for pas
try, Is invaluable for setting hot
dishes, pots, ETC., upon. This preserves
the kitchen table top, and leaves room
on the stove for other things.
To prevent roast from becoming
fat soaked, set 1t upon rack In the
roasting pan. But keep the surface
of the roasting pan covered with fat
to prevent 1t from burning. Fat is
better used here than water, as water
utterly changes the character Of the
meat
Cold meats may be attractively
served by removing first all gristle,
bones and skin and excess fat and
then cutting into thin strips or slivers.
Warm indirectly by pouring over the
meat any desired hot sauce.
To keep every grain Of rice separate
and distinct, cook it in pot of rapid.
ly boiling water with the lid off.
Cooked in double boiler with the lid
on makes the rice mushy. Macaroni
should be cooked same as rice.
To soften hard tissue of dried vege-
tables like peas, beans and lentils.
cook in soft water. Otherwise add
baking soda to ordinary water in the
proportion of one teaspoonful to two
quarts of water
II string beans are not freshly gath
cred from the garden, 1t will improve
them to prepare them for cooking,
then let them stand for an hour or
more in cold water before applying
heat.
Dried apples. apricots, prunes, ETC.,
should be soaked overnight in cold
water before cooking, so as to
plump them and soften the dried
tissue.
Try caramel sugar" as a dressing
for mush, griddle cakes, sauces for
buildings, icing for cakes, etc. This
is made by cooking the sugar in a
pan until 1t browns nicely or makes
caramel. This may be made into a
strip by the addition of water and
bottled for future use.

DENMARK.

The women OF Iceland will always
look upon the nineteenth of June as a
great date in their history, for on that
day the king of Denmark signed the
new constitution of Iceland. which
gives to women the right to vote. The
great pioneer In the womans move
ment in Iceland was the late Tjorbjorg
Sveinsdottir. midwife at Reykjavik.
She had great and sympathetic heart.
her reputation as physician and mid
wife was nationwide. her sense Of fair
play was questioned by no one, and
her eloQuence was unparalleled-all OF
which combined to make her. though
a woman and having no right to vote
or be elected to office, logical speak
er at political meetings and other gath
erings OF all sorts. She welded Q
great political influence in her day.
According to the new constitution.
women will have the same chances as
men to become members of the althing,
but It is said that there will be no
scrambling among the women to get
into the legislature of Iceland.
A Danish merchant, who just re-

SWEDEN.

What will Sweden do?
This is question being asked with
increasing frequency here.
No one knows why Sweden should
do anything. But, that she will do
something shortly, favoring one side
or the other in the great war seems
to be an established opinion in the
ally countries.
1t is undeniable that popular opinion,
based on more or less reliable infor-
nation. is that Sweden shortly will
throw in her lot with Germany. In
vestigation in diplomatic circles de-
velops these facts:
Germany is doing her best to bring
Sweden into the war.
There is party in Sweden that ia
vors Germany and is willing to have
the Swedish army help the Germans.
This party includes the financial inter
ests. but is in the minority numerical
ly. The Progressive party two to one
in the past election, is anti-German
and antiwar.
The war party in Sweden is trying
to create popular sentiment against
Russia, reminding the Swedes that
Russia took Finland from Sweden.
The militarists of Sweden are of the
German school; the Swedish army is
trained on German lines; the sympa-
thies of many Swedish militarists are
with Germany.
The chief outstanding fact is that
Swedens democracy is being severely
tested on the war question. II this
democracy succeeds. Sweden will not
enter the war.
Prof. Gustave Steffen, Oscar Jerte
and Engve LARSEN. three prominent
members of the Socialist party. were
expelled from the party by the unani-
nous vote of the Stockholm Socialist
commune, on the ground that they
were co-authors of the so-called war
book.
This war book, which was published
two months ago. strongly advocated
Sweden's participation in the war on
the side Of Germany and has been the
most widely discussed publication in
Sweden since the war began.
The amount of each of the five
Nobel prizes will be larger than usual

amounts to about 100000. 1t was
