no expense to make them good. 1t pays them
to do so, for thus do they increase their trade.
If canned article you buy is inferior do not
condemn them all; accidents do happen, and
a reliable firm is always willing to make good
any loss. Failure however, seldom occurs
with well known brands. If tin is buged
or shows rusty spots just return it to the
man from whom you bought it, and he will
make it all right, for the packer will refund
the money TO him.
And remember always to treat canned goods
when opened just as you do fresh. Take them
out Of the tins and keep them in cool place
those which are not used at once.
If canned goods of any kind are purchased

II is possible to save from % TO 90 per cent.
If you do not care to buy such a quantity OF

Recipe books prepared by the foremost do
nestle scientists of the day are, as a rule,
forwarded with these foods, and these suggest
to you many delectable dishes with which to
vary your menu.

COMPANY UNEXPECTED"

Invariably, when one has planned very
plain dinner, does some one arrive at the last
moment or "the man Of the house" brings
home friend unannounced. But what feel
ing Of security to know one can go to the pan
try shelf and turn the meal into quite formal
one by the addition Of good boullon or soup,
a salad and dainty dessert
All sorts of soups now come in cubes and
dry form, needing only hot water to make them
ready TO serve. Then too, by adding Of
tomato, vegetable or chicken soup to the home
made soup which won't go round" it
is made enough for a meal. If your
shelf contains some evaporated mik-and
no wise housekeeper will be without one
OF the many good brands-a rich cream
soup with tomato or chicken as the base
can be quickly made. ] use evaporated milk
on occasions Of emergency in every branch OF
cookery, for cakes, puddings, custards pies,
cream sauces; for coffee and cocoa and for
creamed dried beef. 1t is especially desirable
for the housewife who lives in the country TO
have il always on hand.
A salad which can hardly be distinguished
from chicken may be quickly made from tuna
fsh-indeed. this fish is called the Chicken
Of the sea-" Take three cups Of the fish, faxed,
to one Of celery, and two hard-boiled eggs
mix with mayonnaise and serve on crisp let
tuce leaves.
A can Of sliced pineapple, or a jar Of the
salad fruits ready mixed, gives a fruit salad
in a moment or two. Although excellent bot
tied salad dressings procurable, you may,
if you prefer your own mayonnaise, make it
with vinegar, which keeps better than lemon
and put II in a cool place. II will not separate
and will stay smooth long time.

hitherto the kitchen has offset its loneli-

PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT BUREAUS
pob;c employment bureaus are helping IN
this compulsory reorganization. They were in
ettutod 10 deal with mems labor primarily
bot many Of them now have women's depart
mcnts. The Federal Bureau deals largely
with the distribution Of immigrants and acts
all over the country. The various state bu-
resus cover their respective states. The mu-
ncipal bureaus confne their activities to the
cities in which they arc placed.
Such agencies have long been established in
the European countries, but only recently have
they gained foothold in America We are
beginning to learn how to utilize them.
While talking with Louise Odencrantz, di-
rector Of the women's department of the New
York State Public Employment Bureau, 262
Fulton Street, Brooklyn, I inadvertently re-

might turn up in the course Of the morning.
In the centre of all this movement Miss
Odencrantz sat at her orderly desk, asking
questions, answering questions and playing d
complicated catalogue game with blue and red
and yellow cards-a game that always seemed
to solve itself at the first deal
Here in the marketplace were the women

or her assistant dealt with any matter they
invariably spoke with the directness and cour-

WHERE MUCH OF THE FAULT LIES
The DISCRIMINATION of domestic labor is due
to the fact that the employer is not chosen prl-
marily for her efficiency. man selects his
wife for her dimples or her goodness-and sets
her to cooking. Dimples may not give salts
faction as "A housekeeper, but she can't be dis
charged We older housekeepers vainy EN-
deavor to interest potential wives in domestic
drudgery; to weave, as we elegantly express it,
the cage as well as the net. But Dimples conf
IDENTIFY expects to keep girl"
. Alas. poor Dimples. For you the solitary
days have come. The girls won't keep"
AS the girl-by-the becomes rarer her
place is being taken by the woman-by- the-day.
This is in some cases more satisfactory than
the lving-in system, to both employer and en-
ploye.
Many apartment houses have no servants
quarters. High rents make every foot of space
a caculable expense, and what is saved by
having no servants room can be added to
wages. Some housewives now employ a wom-

kinds Of good crackers which keep indefinitely
in their waxed wrappers which should be On
hand for this purpose, and also for serving
with soups and salads. Luncheon cheese and
jar of grated cheese on the shelf mean many
dainty and easily made dishes. In order to
make the latter keep have it quite dry before
grating, and mix it with little salt and some
cayenne pepper Seal in an alright jar. Pea
nut butter for sandwiches and SOUP sailed pea
nuts for salads and fancy dishes are all de
sirable to have in the pantry
If for any reason you have been unable to
do your usual canning this year, do not de-
spair. The various fruits which come in tin
cans are both healthful and inexpensive. Even
rhubarb, put up in lacquered tin, can be
bought for the breakfast fruits. Prepared
fours make hot griddle cakes in jiffy for the
young housewife TO serve, and they are very
desirable for emergencies.
CANNED GOODS RELIABLE

buying any canned goods put up under we'll

followed the directions given in the book and
had no trouble whatever.
We even baked large loaf of bread in the
fireless cooker at the same time We baked other
bread in the kerosene oven and in the cosl
range, merely to try out the relative values o,
the cooking. The loaf baked in the fireess wss
every bit as good, every bit as brown, as any
of the rest Of the bread.
We do not use the frele% cooker very much
for baking bread, because we need too much
but any day loaf of cornmea bread may b
steamed, or any day loaf Of any other pre-
ferred bread may be baked in it.
HOW THE FIRELESS COOKER SAVES
WORK
We have found our fireless cooker especially
useful for roasting chickens or meat. II IS
ideal for smothering chicken or poultry; II 10
fine for cooking beans or beets. In fact We
have found nothing which it does not cook, snd
cook better than the kerosene range, except
breakfast foods which have been left in over
night. We believe however, that by cooking
these in a double boiler, as the book advises
they could be successfully done in the ireles'
Our cooker has perforated, indestructio'
radiators, and We can place three or NOR
radiators over one kerosene flame, the perfo"
tons making it possible to heat several Of once
The food-most of its made hot beior
putting into the cooker. We believe that ID
quick-cooking things, like potatoes, we do no
save more than half the fuel, but IN cookihs
beans, beets and other things requiring long
time, we save very much more.
cannot think that tireess cooker woula
very useful if one had to make up nfe !"
steel range to heat the radiators, but WI"
a kerosene range it is matter Of minutes
heat the radiators and food and get the mes
