Cooking is an Art.

Miss Peet, by the way, believes in
cooking as an art, and very attract
I've and important one. She thinks it
is one which young women should
cultivate as assiduously as they do
their musical studies or drawing, or
anything else in the line of cultural
education. Miss Peet believes all of
these cultural branches are of value to
the home maker but not quite as i'm.
portant as the art of cooking. She
thinks the world would be a rather
sad place without good cooks, and be-
lieves woman should take Just as
much pride in getting up a good dinner
that is well balanced as to nourish-
ment and cost and in serving it prop
erly and attractively as she would in
painting or writing a story or a poem
or doing anything else that would give
pleasure, And while these things all
do count in their value as contributors
to the pleasure of humanity at large,
good cooking has a higher value in
that 1t contributes to the health and
well being of men and women and
children and makes them better able
to do whatever work is assigned to
them.
An interesting feature in connection
with the Ardmoreite Free Economics
School which Miss Peet will conduct
in Ardmore, will be the luncheons
served every day. An opportunity to
eat the foods prepared by so famous
cook as Miss Peet, is one not to be
enjoyed every day. This opportunity

cook foods; then she will actually |
show how this should be done. and.
last, but not least, she will serve the
foods she cooks to the members OF her
classes in order that they may decide
Tor themselves whether or not Miss
Peet is as fine cook as she is said to
be. She will be provided with a gas
stove and every other appliance known
to modern cookery and her cookery
demonstrations are sure to be intense.

PROPER WAY TO MAKE COFFEE
Beverage Requires Care in it's Prep
aration # One Would Have It
at Its Best.

All the world loves a good cup of
coffee. The average housekeeper
seems to think, however, that all that
is necessary is to put in the coffee pot
few tablespoonful of Indifferent
coffee, and a little hot water, and let
it take care of itself, to come to the
table as luck determines, either pal
atable or so muddy and weak as to
be undrinkable.
While a percolator is best for MAX
ing the beverage, as it can then be
made at the table and boiling water
assured. still good coffee is made in
the old-fashioned coffee J.. Be sure
that the coffee is properly ground and
roasted, and do not have it ground too
fine, as when too finely ground it
makes muddy coffee, and be sure to
put into the pot a tablespoonful of
coffee for each cup to be served, and
one for the pot. Settle with a part
of an egg, and use boiling water, allow
ing the coffee to boil for a few sec
ondS. Do not use n whole egg each
day for clearing coffee Break small
hole in the END of the shell and use
only a part of the egg. Then wrap
the egg in a cloth and keep it in a cup
in cool place. 1t will then serve for
several days. Some housekeepers mix
well-beaten eggs with a pound of cof-
fee and let dry in a warm oven, TAX
ing care not to burn by stirring often.
This makes coffee taste just as good
as if it were added just before using,
and saves trouble.

THE HOUSE PLANTS
BY II. B. DORNER.

In the potting of house plants you
can mix the proper soil yourself if
you know tne needs of the different
plants. Take some old blue grass sod
and pile il up until it rots, and you
will have the ideal form of decayed
vegetable matter for the principal
constituent of ali kinds of soil for
ported plants. There are three kinds
of potting soil, as follows:
For geraniums and the ordinary va
rieties of blooming plants.-Three
parts loan from the rotted sod, one
part well. rotted manure and one part
sand if the soil is heavy.
For ferns, begonias and such foil
age plants.-Two parts loan, one part
leaf mold or peat, and one-half part
sand if soil is heavy.
For palms or roses.-Two parts
clay loan and one part well rotted
manure, and sand to suit the texture
condition.
Use the finger test to learn if the
plants need water; when the soil
crumbles easily until dry it needs wa
ter; when it cakes readily there is too
much water; so do not give the plants
a little each day. but only water when
needed. Never use a nozzle on the
end of a hose in watering as it causes
the stream to pack the soil and injure
the foliage

boiling sailed water to cover until
soft. Drain and force through PURGE
strainer; there should be three
fourths of a cupful of bean pulp. To
the pulp add one-fourth of cupful of
rolled bread crumbs, three tablespoon
fuls of heavy cream or butter and one
egg slightly beaten. Season with salt
sage. one-fourth of a teaspoonful of
salt. and a few dashes of pepper.
Shape in the form of sausages (mak-
ing thirteen), dip in egg and crumbs
and fry in olive oil. Pile on a hot
platter and surround with slices of
cored apple which have been fried
until brown on both sides. Serve
while piping hot.
Smothered cabbaee.-Chop small
head of cabbage, removing the heart.
Put three tablespoonfuls of butter in
frying pan. add two tablespoonful
of flour and turn in the cabbage after
the butter and flour are well blended,
then pour on gradually a cupful of
milk. Bring to the boiling point and
add two teaspoonfuls of salt, few
dashes of pepper, mix thoroughly and
cover tightly and cook for forty min
utes Ca the back of the range. About
five cupfuls of cabbage is used for the
other ingredients. All vegetarians
will relish this toothsome dish. It's
flavor is delicate and delightful.
Cheese Puddng.-Cut the crusts
from a stale bakers loaf and cut
slices in finger sized strips Cover
the bottom of baking dish in lattice
fashion and also place pieces around
the sides of the pan. Spread these

To prevent your window plants from
blooming only on the street side, turn
them occasionally and you will have
the blooms in the room as well. Do
not give foliage plants as much light
as for Towering plants; keep the ferns
in a shady corner; a north window is a
good place.
Use as dry material only well rotted
manure. To prepare liquid manure to
be applied only after the ordinary wa
tering has been done, take an ordinary
barrel containing one-half bushel of
fresh COW dung and If extra strength
be required add couple of quarts of
fresh hen manure and cover with wa
ter.
After it has been fermented thor
oughly the coarse material will all set
tie to the bottom and you may fill the
barrel with water and the solution is
ready to be applied to your plants.
An application every two weeks is
generally all that is required for most
plants.
For this process sand is generally
used, or very light soil, as most favor
able for the formation of new roots.
The geranium is perhaps the easiest
to begin with and good healthy top
should be selected where wood has
formed. Take sharp knife and cut

WHEN TO PLANT BULBS
BY MRS. JOHN FIELD.

Hardy bulbs should be planted as
early in the fall as possible.
Dealers will not begin sending out
bulbs much before the latter part
Of September Early orders get the
best bulbs.
The best soil for bulbs for the
house is rich loan mixed with sand.
If too heavy, add turfy matter to
tighten it.
Always choose a well-drained To-
cality for your bulb-seed; if not nat
urally SO. put at least six inches of
broken crockery, pieces of brick, old
bottom Of the bed.
Never take bulbs out of the package
the florist sends them in until you
are ready to plant them. Do not
leave them exposed to the light or
air, as this will cause loss of moisture
and weaken vitality.
The scales of lily bulbs often be-
come soft and fabby when exposed
to the air, because of the evaporation
of the sap. which is the life blood OF
the bulb. Such bulbs are weakened,
and hardly worth planting. Put all
bulbs in the cellar or in a dark, cool
place until ready to plant.
Many plants will grow well in an
ordinary window in winter, but the
number that will soften freely under
such conditions are few and need
special preparation. Many failures
are due to an unwise selection OF
IN nt
heat to which the ordinary room is
subjected.
