MAKING THE MOST OF LAMB
Housekeeper VIII Find This Arrange
nent Help to the Cutting of
Her Bills.

Every housekeeper Is on the look.
out to save in these days of high
cost of living, especially in meats.
Here is one way to save mutton or
lamb. If, on Saturday, forequarter
of mutton or lamb is purchased,
weighing from seven to ten pounds,
it should be divided as follows:
Shoulder, neck, breast. French chops,
bones and trimmings The shoulder is
boned, pocket cut for filling, that
makes the roast; stuffed shoulder of
lamb OF mutton for Sunday dinner
and cut cold for Monday luncheon OF
supper.
Then the neck is boiled with the
shoulder bone and trimmings, max
ing two quarts Of lamb broth, to be
used for soup for Mondays dinner.
The meat is trimmed from the neck
bones for lamb croquettes, meat salad
OF loaf. The breast Is stewed, or
curried with rice. The choicest part
is left, that is, one dozen frenched
lamb chops.
OF course, you must be able to tell
your butcher Just how you want it
cut and trimmed. The chops are
frenched, chine removed, but the
chops are not cut apart. That is left
for the housekeeper to do, cutting just
as needed. The trimmings from the
chops are boiled with the neck and
bones, strained, and when cold all
fat is removed and clarified for drip
pings. .......
From this forequarter you have the
following dishes, always for four per-
sons:
Roast stuffed shoulder, hot for Sun.
day dinner.
Roast stuffed shoulder, cold for
Monday, with soup 1.-TWO quarts for
soup stock.
Lamb croquettes or meat loaf for
Tuesday.
Stewed or curried lamb for Wednes-
day.
Lamb chops which can be kept for

Claim Prophecy Fulfilled.

A conference of Bible students held
recently at Keswick, n. j., revived an
ancient prophecy concerning Egypt,
the literal fulfillment of which, they
asserted, has been borne out in his
tory. The prophecy is found in Eze-
kiel xxx. 1915 and Xxx. Is. Part
of it reads as follows: "It shall be
the basest of kingdoms, neither shall
it exalt itself any more above the
nations, for l shall diminish them that
they shall no more rule over the ma
tons and there shall be no
more prince of the land of Egypt;
and l will put lear in the land Of
Egypt" Since this prophecy was
written, said one of the speakers,
Egypt has been ruled by the Babylo.
mans, the Romans and the Turks,
and now it has passed under the alb.
solute sway of England. Yet Egypt
once was the greatest and richest of
the worlds nations.

SOME KITCHEN KINKS
METHODS THAT MAY BE NEW TO
MANY HOUSEWIVES.
Tiles Always Best Whsn One Can
Afford Then1--keepine the Dish
cloth Fresh-LinoIeum for the
Floor Covering.

| Tiles are so clean and nice II one 1s
able to afford them. The young wife
who has them will never regret the
outlay, although they are rather ex'
| oensive at the start. Round the kitch-
| en walls they are splendid and most
| lygienic in every way.
The back of the sink is bound to get
| splashed with the washing up after
| each meal Therefore here it is es-
sential to have either tiles OF zinc or
something of the kind through which
he water cannot penetrate. Zinc an
swers the purpose quite well if secure
Y nailed fiat against the wall. This is
easily cleaned daily with a little dry
brickdust.
The tiles. of course, are ideal, as
ali they need is a washdown with
warm water daily.
A little enamel basket is so useful
in the sink for tea leaves and such
things which are more than likely
to go down the sink and eventually
stop it up. 1t is shaped so that it fits
into the corner of the sink, perforated
with holes, so that all liquid passes
away, leaving the solid bodies in the
basket.
Nothing is more unpleasant than a
greasy dishcloth. To keep this i'm.
portant article fresh and sweet, it
should be scalded each time after use,
or else washed out thoroughly in hot
water and rinsed we'll in several wa
ters.
A plate rack fixed above the sink is
great saving of labor. Plates put in
the rack must be rinsed in cold water
after being washed in hot, If you do
not want them to be smudgy.
When roasting meat, use a double
meat tin. Put cold water in the under
one. This prevents the dripping burn.
ing and also keeps it from boiling
away.
Plenty of hot water is essential for
dish washing. Collect all the silver.
Place the knives blade downward in
jug of hot water. Pile up the plates
neatly. A little arrangement saves
the middle one so often sees in con.
nection with washing up. Wash all
the cleanest things first to save the
water. Rinse glass in cold water after
washing in hot and polish we'll with
dry, clean cloth.
The most useful and healthy floor
covering for the kitchen is linoleum.
Inlaid linoleum is the best to pur-
chase. Here the pattern goes right
through and therefore will be perfect
te the last.
Clean your windows when the sun
is not shining, for if the sun shines
on wet window no amount of rub.
bling will prevent 1t from being streaky
when dry. Avoid a frosty day, too,
as the glass is apt to break easily
then. Dust the windows thoroughly.
Wash the glass with a sponge wrung
out in tepid water with a few drops
Of ammonia in it. Dry with clean
cloth with no fluff on it,. Polish
with pads of newspaper.

The Cook SAYS.

If your market basket or clothes
basket of willow shows a few loose
ends, put it to soak for twenty min.
utes or half an hour in lukewarm wa:
ter.
A good way to do is to put the
basket into the bathtub, resting it on
the part that is to be repaired, then
turn in enough water to soak this
part. The important thing is to ge:
the willow ends soft and pliable.
When this is accomplished the
strips can be readily bent back into
place, and if you push them in firmly.
they will stay in place when dry. New.
er try to bend the willow strips while
they are dry, as they will be sure to
snap off.
A putty knife, with it's short handle
aud broad blade, is an Indispensable
tool in the kitchen. 1t can be used for
turning hash, fritters and fish. Its
broad end is also most useful in scrap
ing pots and pans.

SYRUP Of FIGS FOR

1t is cruel to force nauseating,
harsh physie into a
sick child.

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on castor oil, calomel, cathartics.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little "insides'' are
injured by them.
If your child's stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only deli
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit

love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet

POLISH FOR COFFEE BOILER
BY the Use Of oxaIie Acid the utensIl
May Be Kept In tho Best of
Condition.

A shining copper hot-water boiler
adds much to the appearance of a
kitchen, as all housekeepers know.
The boiler may be kept in a state Of
brilliancy by the use of solution
Of oxalic acid and water. Five cents
worth of the acid dissolved In a
quart Of warm water will last
through many cleaning days.
Best results are obtained by apply
ing the solution to a warm boiler.
After one application of the solution
the boiler should be gone over with
a cloth wrung out in warm water
and then polished with dry cloth
The best part of the process is that
no elbow grease" is required. In a
few minutes dull, dingy boiler be-
comes bright and shining with but
little effort.
All copper articles not having a
lacquered surface may be cleaned
with this solution, and it also serves
as a brass polish.
Keep in safe place, as oxalic acid
is poison.
