used when combining it with milk.
Uncooked milk should never be used
but the milk heated or made in a
cream sauce first and then added. The
helpful pinch of soda should be added
to a cream sauce which is combined
with tomatoes. Cream curdles less
easily than milk because it has more
fat or less casein or thick part OF
milk Canned and evaporated milk
when diluted gives even better re-
suits than fresh milk, while fresh
cream thinned is the ideal to combine
with any tomato dish.
Dressings and Mayonnaise.
Owing to its luscious and flavoring
qualities the tomato is specially adapt
ed to use with oil dressings either OF
the French or mayonnaise types. The
so-called boiled" dressing does not
go we'll. In making a French dress
ing lessen the amount OF vinegar be-
cause OF the natural acid in the to-
mato itself, and by adding different
seasonings, such as few celery seed,
crushed mint leaf, garlic, sweet mar
joram or other herbs, even plain
sliced tomatoes will have variety. By
all means avoid that unnecessarily
common dressing, sugar, vinegar and
oil heavily mixed and poured over
the inevitable three rings Of tomato.
Instead of using the slices in the
fiat way, pyramid them, placing some
Of the lettuce leaves between. Or cut
a small whole tomato into eight sec
tons, or petals" like an organge,
to vary the monotony of the slice.
Or use the same sectional pieces as
decorations around platters of cold
meat. The small, perfectly shaped to-
matoes are, of course, more suitable
for individual cup salads. Moderately
large are best for baking and the larg-
est size for any of the grilled or
ssuted dishes.-Philadelphia Ledger

Maybe you think it is only father,
mother, big sister and perhaps big
brother who are interested in the Ak.
Sar-Ben coronation ball. Not at all!
For our very youngest social set, our
debutantes and beaux of the future are
Just as much interested since ten OF
their little members are going to wait
upon the king and queen.
Pages to their majesties, King and
Queen Ak-Sar- Ben XXI, they will
be. The kings pages will be Harley
Moorhead, jr.; Louis Rogers Nash,
Edward Kennedy, Francis Burnley
and David Crofoot.
The queens pages will be Jane
Powell, Beatrice Manley, Marie Dixon
and the Bradford twins, Bertha Mae
and Martha Ri.
Indeed, the largest affairs of the So
cial season seem to be incomplete
without including the names OF the
kiddies who are to'tske part.
Children will serve in both the Vail
Jaquith and Penfield- Bacon wedding
parties, the two largest weddings in
prospect during the Ak-Sar-Ben fes-
tivities. .
Dainty little Elinor Kountze will
attend Miss Alice Jaquith as flower
giri,swhile the brides nephew, Charles
Frederick Weller, will be the ring
bearer. Three small attendants will
wait upon Miss Lucille Bacon. Master
Jamie McMullen will be ringbearer,
while little Misses Jane Stewart and
Jean Redick will be flower girls.

tomato is not only harmless, but
possesses acids which make it pecu-
liarly stimulative and cleansing, and
though the bulk consists OF water, its
chief value is in the small per cent of
minerals. These have a direct effect
on the kidneys and liver, acting as
natural salts" being particularly
useful If there is any tendency to
biliousness, govt or clogged intestines.
Variety in Serving.
But to the housekeeper the tomato
/ is a staple summer food mainly be-
cause it permits such endless variety
in its serving Few, indeed, are the
vegetables which can be eaten in so
many attractive ways, both raw and
cooked, its color and picturesqueness
enhancing any dish to which it is
added. The tomato is perhaps the
ideal salad vegetable because it can
be combined with so many other
foods, particularly eggs, cheese and
nuts.
In these salad forms it can play the
part either of a watery salad for re-
| freshment only, or if combined with
the three foods above mentioned it
will make a substantial meal, es-
pecially suited for hot weather Here
are some suggested combinations:
Tomato rings, cress, balls cream
cheese, almonds.
Tomato aspic in small molds, gar
nished with pepper rings.
Tomato cup stuffed with chopped
cabbage, celery and walnuts.
Tomato cups filled with cooked
diced carrots, white turnip and string
beans.
Cooked white string beans and as
paragus laid through thick rings Of
| tomato.
Suggestions for cooked tomatoes
are:
Tomato cups stuffed with bread
crumbs and ham and baked,
Tomato cups filled with bread
crumbs and dropped egg baked.
Rings of tomato saute with diced
eggplant saute arranged in layers
with salt, pepper, grated parmesan
cheese and baked.
Thick rings of tomato saute in but
ter, served with cream sauce on toast.
Porch Sandwich-Rings OF tomato
covered with grated cheese highly
seasoned, grilled on crackers; sardines
may be added to this.
Olive and walnut meats in chilled
tomato aspic as individual salads; to-
mato cups stuffed with seasoned
crumbs. topped by large fresh mush-
room, grilled.
Ripeness Gives Flavor.
August is the month when the FIRST
early tomatoes are in their prime. The
tomato, like other vegetables, does
not develop its perfect favor until
perfectly mature and ripe. 1t needs
the hot sun to transform the green
cellulose into ruby lusciousness. I'M
! less fully ripe the cross sections OF the
pulp are tough and sometimes bitter.
For baking especially the tomato must
be so ripe that in about twenty min
utes it can be grilled or scalloped.
Too long cooking makes it dark and
separates the pulp and juice, leaving
the skin as distinct and unpleasant
feature. For all scalloped dishes the
tomato should not be peeled, other
wise it will lose its shape. But for
salad dishes the tomatoes should be
dropped into boiling water, skinned
quickly with a silver fruit knife and
then placed to chill.
Since the tomato possesses such an
excess of natural acid, care must be

Vegetable Canning.

der the same basic laws as fruit can
uing, the sterilization process is not
quite so simple, except in the case
OF tomatoes, which are very acid.
The decay OF vegetables is due to
microscopic forms of life called bac-
terra, just is the decay of fruits,
but the bacteria which attack vegeta-
oles are more resistant to heat be-
cause they have the ability to pro-
duce spores. Spores may be likened
to seeds, in that they have hard,
protective coverings and can with
stand unfavorable conditions. While
boiling moderately for a long time
will destroy all bacteria, it will not
kill bacterial spores; so the vegetable
to be canned must be re-boiled on a
a second day and then again on a
third day. Between the first and
second days the spores will develop
into bacterial plants as they find
themselves surrounded by warmth,
food and moisture. The second boil
ing destroys these new bacteria and
the third boiling destroys all bacteria
which may have escaped the second
boiling
From these facts, the cold pack
method, also called the Intermittent
sterilization" method, has been de-
veloped. The apparatus required Is
a container for sterilizing and sup
ply of jars with good lids and rub
bers, OF, better, jars with glass tops
held in place by wire springs. A
clothes boiler with false bottom
of wire netting may be used as a
container The netting is of galvan-
lied wire with a fairly small mesh,
perhaps one-half inch.

which should be cooked fill the jars
