pint of strong clear coffee, adding to this
one pint of milk, few drops of vanilla
and one heaping Tablespoonful of sugar.

You can substitute chocolate for the cof-
fee Il you prefer. The chocolate Is made
by melting squares of bitter chocolate
in n pan and mixing with it half cupful
of boiling water, n small lump of butter,
n pinch OF cinnamon and two tablespoon
fuls of sugar. Add this to one quart OF
scalded milk and mix until smooth Chin

A prize of 81 has been awarded to
"a Housckceper," 500 Barrett avenue,
Bryn Mawr Pa, for the following sug-
gestiOn:
IL buy a weeks supply OF meat at n
time, but | have no trouble in keeping
It fresh, even in warm weather. Here
are the things my butcher told me,
Don't put meat on a plate-wrap 1t in a
clean, open-mesh cloth (cheescloth is
what l use) and put 1t on n rack whore
It can have a free circulation of air.
Fresh air is essential to keeping meat.
Don't wash your meat and put 1t directly
on the ice. Meat must be kept in dry,
cold air. Don't salt meat a long time
before using, as this spoils the flavor, and,
for the same reason, don't leave 1t in tho
original wrapping paper. Don't let your
meat get very warm and then freeze 1t
again. This might cause ptomaine poison
ing. especially in the case of chicken.
/ always plan to use veal, and organs
such as liver kidneys or heart, the early
part of the week, and keep the harder
lamb and beef for the end of the week"

Here are some suggestions for making
pin money: One girl, who was compelled
to stay at home, took orders for sponge
cake, angel food, salad dressing and tea
biscuit.
Another girl, whose enthusiasm for her
camera was only equaled by her love for
children made it known that she would
go to peoples houses and take pictures
of their children at play, and It often hap
pens that these are the most natural
photographs. She also developed and
printed them herself, and sold then for
81 a dozen. She found big demand for
her work, and was very successful
Another girl who lived in a college
town, realizing the despair of the college
girl sitting down in her room with pile
of torn garments strewn around her,
offered to mend for the students. She also
pressed evening dresses, and as there were
a great many hops going on at the col
lege, she found 1t profitable"
