Making the Frozen Dessert

Desserts are perfect when they har.
monize with the foods they follow.
They should always be delicate and
served in highest degree of attractive
ness and must not be too rich to be
enjoyed nor too dainty to satisfy the
appetite if it is still keen.
For the next few months those who
possess reliable freezer will have no
difficulty in choosing appropriate des-
serts, for when frozen and nicely served
the simplest combination of fruits and
favors becomes an excellent ending to
any dinner.
The newest freezers are easily OPP
Grated and freeze desserts so quickly
one scarcely misses the time it takes.
1t certainly is pleasanter to make a
frozen dainty than to prepare boiled
or baked one in warm weather.
There are few things to remember,
for instance the gearing of the freezer
should be well oiled; the ice should be
crushed until fine and to every three
measures of ice you must have one
measure of coarse salt. If you are max
ing sorbets, bombes and parfaits there
must be equal amount of salt and ice.
After you have made the cream and
frozen it the dasher in the can should
be removed and all the cream that ad-
heres to the sides of the can be scraped
down and pressed into a firm mass.
Cork the hole in the can lid and cover
with ice and blanket and let it stand
to season.
Perhaps you wish to mold the cream,
for this you can use one pound baking
powder tins if you have no regular
mold. The tin must be chilled; press

the frozen mixture we'll into it until
it is full to overlooking. Tie the cover
on and if there is any possibility of the
salty ice water leaking into it seal the
lid with parafine. This mold should
freeze in three hours if not too rich.
Philadelphia ice cream is sweet
cream favored and sweetened and
frozen.
Plain ice cream is thin rich cooked
custard mixture made with or without
cream and eggs.
Mousses, parfaits and bisques are
made with whipped cream and are
frozen without beating.
Water ices include all fruit and
water combinations and usually have
stiff whites of eggs added. They are
stirred while freezing.
Berry Bombe Glace
Line bombe mold with strawberry
or raspberry water ice and fill center
with strawberry ice cream. Or reverse
the process and line the mold with the
cream and fill with the frozen water ice.
Cover and seal carefully and pack in ice
and salt four hours. Serve with fruit
sauce.

be held in the Leon opera house, on
Friday evening, May 14th, under the

KILLED BOARDING TRAIN
Frank Dodd, Of Garden Grove Fell
Under a Freight Train Near Gar
den Grove Monday Evening. !.

Frank Dodd, a we'll known resi-
dent of Garden Grove, was killed by
Burlington freight train No. 119,
about mile west of Garden Grove
Monday evening, having fallen un-
der the train while attempting to
board it. Monday morning M. W..
Sutherland, of Garden Grove, took a
gang of men to the farm of Lutte
Scott, southwest of Garden Grove, to
set up his saw mill outfit. That ev-
ening some of the men decided to
go to Garden Grove to spend the
night at home instead of remaining
at the saw mill camp. Lew Watson,
Tom Hurley and Frank Dodd start
ed to walk up the railroad track to
Garden Grove, and when neaH the
crossing on the Will Waters farm
about a mile west of Garden Grove,
the freight train came along. There
is quite grade at this point and
freight trains do not run very fast,
so the men decided to ride the
freight to town. Watson and Hur-
ley boarded the train safely and sup
posed that Mr. Dodd got on another
car farther back on the train, and
they did not know that he had met
with an accident. A short time after
the train passed the Garden Grove
section men came along on their
way home and found Mr.. Dodd lying
at the side of the track dead. He had
evidently missed his hold in at
tempting to board the train and fell
under the cars, one leg being badly
mangled, and there was a bruise on
his face. Mr.. Dodd was between
fifty and sixty years of age, and had
been in poor health for several
years. The loss of blood and the
shock caused his death in a very few
minutes, for it was only a short time
until he was found by the section
men. A stretcher was secured and
his body taken to Garden Grove on
the hand car. The funeral was held
at his home in Garden Grove We'd
nesday morning, interment being at
Woodland.
