HOW TO MAKE GOOD NOODLES
Simple Instructions That, If Properly
Followed, Cannot Fail to Make
Them a Success.

Any number Of eggs may be used
in making noodle dough, according to
the quantity of noodles desired at
once, the only requirement being to
work in sufficient flour. When using
more than one egg at a time, divide
the dough into as many parts as you
have eggs, for the sheets when rolled
out will be easier to handle than if
larger quantities are taken.
To make quantity of noodles suffi.
cient for four persons, break one egg
into bowl, and beat until light. Add
as much flour as can be worked in,
flour the breadboard and roll this
dough out into as thin a sheet as pos.
sible. Lay aside on a clean cloth or
paper until dry enough so as to be
rolled up like paper lamp lighter.
The layers must not adhere to each
other. Take a very sharp knife, and
beginning at the end of the roll, cut
the dough off in as fine slices as pos.
sible. Toss lightly in the hands and
the slices will fall apart in long, vel.
low threads. Spread thin on cloth
or paper, and let dry thoroughly. Then
they may be used at once, or packed
in tight paper bags or boxes and
placed in dry place They can be
kept for months. In this way quite
quantity may be made during the sea.

Croquettes.-Sweet potatoes are al
most always improved by a second

tablespoonful of melted butter and
pepper and salt to taste. Add a beat
en- egg, mix well and shape into lit
tie balls. Roll in crumbs, beaten egg
and crumbs again and brown quickly

Baked in Dish.-Another good way
is to slice lengthwise boiled sweet po-
tatoes; put them in baking dish, pour
melted butter over them and brown
them in the oven. Still another way
is to remove the insides from baked
ed butter, paprika, salt and mace, and
return to the skins to brown.

quarter of a cupful of water, and two
tablespoonfuls of butter. Brush the
potatoes with this and bake them.
Baste them with the sirup as they
cook until they are well candied.

toes are made by slicing parboiled
potatoes into a buttered baking dish
and covering them with a well sea.

The Reviews Advertising
School
LESSON NUMBER ONE

The newspaper worker is often
asked by merchants and thei remploy-
es as to what is the secret of effect
i've advertising. The Review begins
with this issue series of articles on
"rhe Art of Advertising" The writer
feels that the subject is very large
one, and that some who read these
suggestions may know as much about
it as he does. The Lessons" are
based, however, on much reading and
thought, discussion of the subject
with merchants, and observation OF
how particular advertisements. work
in practice.
The advertising expert Of ten years
ago set out to amuse and entertain
his readers. He specialized in agile
turns of thought. But after you read
his copy, you knew no more about the
goods than you did before.
Advertising today has reached a
simpler basis. The merchant who
never studied advertising but has com
mon gumption may write a very ef-
fective notice. There are certain prin-
ciples, however, which he must fol-
low, either by luck or intelligent
choice, il he expects his advertising
to be thoroughly effective.
The first principle is the need Of

what is called reason why copy"
The successful advertiser of today
appeals to the judgment of the public.
Instead of trying to make them laugh,
he makes them think.
Take the following head used on
certain advertisement: direct From
the Works Saves 40 Per Cent" Show
ing that he has cut out the profit Of
one or more middlemen, plus freight
age and handling expense, the adver-
tiser shows real reason why he sells
cheaper. @

pile, direct language why an article
is superior Here is an Illustration in
lamp chimney ad, which properly
displayed is very effective:
60 Lamp Chimneys Give More
Light. Almost Never Break From
Heat. Fit the Lamp. Avoid the Sick
ening Lamp Odor"
Any housewife would be attracted
by similarly plain, simple statement
of the practical advantages.
Perhaps the most effective argu-
ment of all is to state the price. But
it needs to be accompanied with
brief statement sufficient to persuade
the reader that the goods have more
value than the price would indicate.
