Don't Lose the Pie Juice.

To keep the juice in the pie, instead
of using the cloth strips, which spoils
the edge of the pie anyway, have the
bottom crust larger than the pan. Cut
the apples into sections. Before put
ting them in, cover the bottom of the
pastry with half the sugar. One cup
full of sugar to a good-sized pie will
not be too much if the apples are sour.
Lay sections of apples all around the
edge. Then fill in the middle. Add
the rest of the sugar. Roll out the
top crust to fit and lay OF Wet the
edge all around and turn up over the
top crust the surplus of the under
crust. Press down with the fingers,
then mark all around with a fork.
Make a hole in the top of the pie and
wet all over with cold water. The
oven should be fairly hot for the first
Is or 20 minutes. Then the heat may
be reduced so that the apples may
cook thoroughly. 1t will take about
40 minutes to bake a good-sized pie.

TO PREPARE SPICED PLUMS
Should Be Put Up With Sugar and
Vinegar and Condiments of
Various Kinds.

Select sever pounds of damson
plums; wipe them with a napkin, then
prick each plum several times with a
needle and put them into stone jars.
Place a kettle with three and a half
pounds of sugar and n pint Of vim
egar over the fire. Break one ounce of
cinnamon into small pieces, add one
tablespoonful Of whole cloves, four
blades of mace and one tablespoonful
of whole allspice. Sew these up in
muslin or cheesecloth bags and drop
them into the vinegar. Boil five min
utes, then pour the boiling hot strip
over the plums. Cover and. let stand
until the next day, then drain off the
strip and place it with the spice bags
IN g kettle over the fire. Boil ten min
utes and pour it again ver the fruit.
Repeat this once more the day follow
ing, then lay the spice bags on top
of the fruit, close the jar and lay a
piece of paper over the top. Although
they will keep in jars, yet they will
keep their color better if sealed in
cans Grapes can be spiced in the

MAKES A SPLENDID DESSERT
French Way Of Serving Pears viii Be
Found About the Best That Has
Been Devised.

4 French Pear Dessert-Every
Frenchwoman knows the value of com
bining cooked fruit with cereal for the
family dessert. Here is her favorite
way of serving pears; Peel, core and
cut In halves half a dozen firm pears.
Cook them slowly for an hour in a
strip of two cupfuls of water and one
OF sugar. Meantime boil in a double
boiler for about an hour a half cupful
of rice in two cupfuls of milk, with a
small piece of butter and sugar and
vanilla to taste. When the rice is
cooked turn it into a mold. The French
cook keeps the rice warm while it is
setting in the mold, but it would prob
ably suit the American taste better to
place the mold on ice. When ready to
serve turn the rice out on a round dish
n arrange the pears neatly in a Dor
der. Pour over them the strip in
which they have been cooked, favored.
If desired, with a little rum.
Canned Pears.-Bartlett pears are
considered. by many housekeepers the
best for canning. If not perfectly ripe
they can be easily mellowed by wrap
ping them up in a wooden blanket, but
they must be a little under rather than
over-ripe for canning. To every quart
jar allow seven or eight medium-sized
pears, a pint of water and one-fourth
pound of sugar. Cut the fruit in halves,
pare, core and throw at once into cold
water to prevent discoloration. Put the
sugar and water first into a preserv-
ing kettle and let heat slowly; when
the scum appears remove it carefully,
and as soon as the strip boils hard add
the fruit and boil all together from
three to ten minutes.
Put a cloth wet in cold water around
the jar when putting in the hot fruit,
in order to prevent breakage, and fur
Their make sure against this by putting
in a couple of pears and a little juice
at a time. When the jar is full run a
silver knife down the sides of it to let
out the air bubbles, and seal tightly
while the fruit is still hot. Canned
pears should be kept in a cool, dark
place.
Seckel pears, which may be canned
in the same way, are best when picked
directly from the tree and canned al
nee. If too hard both they and the
Bartletts may be boiled for ten min
utes or less before putting them in thu
strip.

Once over the decentralization caused
by the crash of the bursting shells
from the British artillery c%oncentra-
ton in their ears, the Germans, out of
their dugouts, began resisting with
bombs. The British, running short
had to fall back traverse by traverse,
pursued by the Germans, thus losing
some of their gain before more bombs
were brought up from the IA
This had to be done under gusts of
shrapnel bullets, for now the Ger

ports all they had to give, and as
fast as they could. The struggle pro-
ceeded in the midst of the scream and
bursting of projectiles. Twice one
of the sergeants crossed the zone
back to the support trenches bringing
supplies of bombs before he was
killed. Others were at the same work,
and many were killed and wounded,
but they got enough up to hold 1,20C

Two years ago orders were issued
that pajamas be provided for enlisted
men, for it was assumed that this garb
would soon become very popular.
Something like 100000 pairs were pur-
chased, and the sailors were informed
that they could draw them whenever
they liked.
For a time there was no demand,
but finally some of the men discov-
cred a use for the garments. About
10000 pairs wer distributed. Then II
was found that the seamen were using
the pajamas as underwear. Others

SOME COOKERY HINTS
IDEAS THAT MAY BE OF VALUE
TO THE HOUSEWIFE.
How the ideal custard Should Be
Made-Mayonnaise With Just the
Right Flavor-eest Way to
Serve Cuoumbers.

The best custards ever made have
not been baked on the oven floor. The
tried-and-true method to make the de-
licious custard is n quart of fresh
milk, scalded in a double boiler. No
more nor less than four eggs beaten
and stirred into one cup of granulated
sugar. Always lemon extract with a
pinch of nutmeg for the delicate Gus
tard. 1t kills the egg flavor. Now,
here is your secret, place it in a pan
of boiling water in the oven, cover
your baking dish, bake it just one-half
hour in a warm but not too hot oven.
Insert a silver knife in the middle of
the custard. If it comes out clean,
the custard is done, otherwise the in
gradients stick to the knife.

naise. The cucumber is grated for
the purpose. Then, think of it, the
vinegar used. Ordinary vinegar? Yes
but prepared with brown sugar, boiled

hard-boiled eggs is, really, one Of the
finest favored salad dressings known
to the chefs who dislike TO make
known their professional secrets.
Have you seen the cucumber sliced
but in half and decorated with slices
of red radish? Very pretty. Score
the rounded sidec of the cucumber
into one-eightb inch sections, but de-
not cut through the cucumber. Place
