Rice will absorb three times its meas.
ure of water and a larger quantity OF

from the mold
The ordinary French dressing (three

An easy way to skin a beet without
bleeding it and causing it to lose color
is to put it in cold water as soon a.
it is cooked. Then draw the hanc
gently down each one and the skin will
drop off without trouble.
When cooking milk or soups of any
kind always use a wooden spoon fol
stirring. Never take tin spoon fol-
