Baked custard.

-Four cupfuls scalded milk, six eggs,
one-half cupful sugar, one-fourth tea
spoonful salt, few gratings of nutmeg.
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar and salt,
pour on slowly scalded milk, strain
in buttered mold. set in pan of hot wa
ter. Sprinkle with nutmeg and bake
in slow oven until firm-which may
be readily determined by running a
silver knife through custard. If knife

ing baking care must be taken that
water surrounding mold does not reach
boiling point, or custard will whey.
Eggs and milk in combination must
be cooked at a low temperature.

CLING TO OLD IDEAS
HOUSEWIVES SLOW TO ABANDON
ANTIQUATED METHODS.
But There Are Many New Ways of
Cooking That Are Superior to
Those That Have Been Long In
use-Here Are q Few.

Most of us believe what we are told.
If you tell child lie, it will believe
it as readily as the truth very often.
If you tell anybody that a tin pan on
an asbestos mat is very hot, he will be-
lieve you, very probably, and be care
full not t touch the pan, although it
may be cold So it is with the lore of
cooking-most of US believe it, take it
for granted. 1t has descended to US.
1t has been told to us by others. And
few of us experiment for ourselves to
prove its truth.
So it is that we beat eggs with a
fork, laboriously, when we wish to
have them especially light. We have
learned to believe, because we have
been told SO. that eggs beaten with
a fork are lighter than eggs beaten
with a Dover egg beaten. They are
careful cook, who has experimental
with both kinds of eggs. So why waste
arm muscle using fork, when an egg
heater does the work in half the time
and less?
Another thing we have believed for
years is that gelatin, If boiled, would
not jelly. 1t will. Boiling does not
seem to affect it-again, according to
careful experimentation.
When jelly, made of fruit Juice and
sugar. will not jelly, 1t sometimes
needs less sugar. rather than more
that is to say. there is so much sugar
that a thick strip instead Of jelly
results, and so more fruit Juice must
be added to bring the right results.
Another bubble to prick-it is not
necessary to have cold oil and eggs.
bowls and spoon for making may
Unnaise. What is necessary Is uni
lormity of temperature. If the oil has
been standing in the temperature OF
the room, let the eggs and bowl stand
there until they are all approximately
Of the same temperature. II the oil has
been next to the ice, put the bowl, the
spoon or heater and the egg there to
become equally cold.

Jim Syrett nodded CURLY. He was
appreciative of the boys kindness in
coming up to his shack to see sick

the boys tried to make him believe

Jim cherished no illusions on that

Polly Raymond looked up from her

"Jim's dead, Tom. Poor old Jim.

ABNORMAL RAIN HITS
GATE CITY FOR AWHILE
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 2O.-A freak
rain, the like of which has never been
seen here before, visited Atlanta late
yesterday afternoon, probably as one
of the phenomena in connection with
the big storm that broke over Calves
ton.
The rain clouds gathered rather rap.
idly and of sudden huge drops, few
in number. began 10 splash out of the
sky. Each isolated drop was so large
that when it hit the dry pavement it
spread out to make a wet spot nearly
four inches in diameter, and when a
single drop hit a pedestrian it soaked
the clothing through to the skin in
the particular spot where it hit. The
raindrops which looked more like hall
stones, though they were not even
chilly, appeared as they fell through
the air to be as large in circumference
as nickel or quarter of dollar.
Following this unusual sight, a
hard, steady rain set in for few
minutes, which was followed by sun
shine and bright blue skies.
