HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS

Add a cupful of cooked rice when
making beef loaf and the loaf will be
moist and slice firmly and will have
a new flavor.
After plucking and singeing fowls
dampen them slightly. sprinkle with
flour, rub gently all over and wash in
tepid water.
Mix the salt with the flour before
milk or water Is added in making
thickening for gravies. etc. and there
by prevent lumpiness.
Before pouring hot fruit into glass
dish or Jar. place the receptacle on q
cloth wet in cold water. This prevents
the glass from breaking.
To remove oil stains and paint from
windows, wet a woolen cloth with am
monia and apply to the spots. rubbing
briskly but not too hard.
To prevent cakes. pies and other
pastry from burning on the bottom
sprinkle the bottom OF the oven with
fine. dry salt, and your cakes or pies
will bake perfectly.

WHEN THE DINERS ARE LATE
Food May Be Kept In Good Condition
II Requisite ParaphernaIia 10
at Hand.

This problem confronts every house
keeper in all the seasons. and per-
haps it is the tagging breakfast-comers.
and those who are little uncertain
at the dinner hour who cause her the
most anxiety. However, since the in
PRODUCTION of hot water plates and plat
ters, this has ceased to be serious a
question.
The food on these plates, after the
nickel reservoir under them has been
filled with boiling hot water may be
covered with the nickel cover and will
keep in perfect condition for half
or even three-quarters of an hour.
The vegetables. cooked now in the
three-quarter compartment steamers.
may be well kept for at least the same
length of time. The roast, done in
the universal covered roasting pan,
will suffer none from the same length
delay.
Tiny alcohol burners under the lit
tie chafing dishes used for saucers
will keep the sauces warm. though
perhaps they suffer more than any
other one thing by waiting-they get

stand. and their flavor is often sacri-
feed. Soup. of course. can wait with
out serious injury.
Fish is the hardest article to keep
warm unless it is made into fish tur-
bot. If 1t has been boiled. then it
should be placed on the rack and
placed over boiling water. 30 it is
steam-enveloped and covered. but If
1t is allowed to stand more than ten or
fifteen minutes this way it will become
woolly and lose its taste. II creamed
it will stand all right in a double boil
er over hot water for twenty or thirty
minutes, after which it begins to get
watery.
Solid alcohol burners, lighted un-
der the chatting dish long enough at
time to keep the water at boiling
point in the water pan. will keep the
contents warm without danger Of be-
ing overlooked, for at least half
hour
Any of the plate warmers placed
on the dining room radiator will keep
the plates warm and ready for serv
ing when needed.

Glass Plant Shelf.

1t is a good idea to have glass cut
to fit a shelf on which plants stand.
The glass is easily cleaned and saves
the wood underneath. A piece OF
plate glass cut to fit a window ledge
or top of a radiator will often fur

in duty at the war department, or in
one of the military arms of the serv-
ice.
Most Of the men are between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-five and
1t is planned that when their course Of
two years shall be completed they will
take examinations for commissioned
officers to be called upon by the war

and significant to note that this troop

Tomato Plants Set Out

About seventy five acres are
planted to tomato plants this year
and from the present indications
there will be bumper crop har-
vested.
All of the plants set out this
year are doing fine and are sever
al weeks ahead Of last year.
1t is hoped by those who are in
the business that this year will be
more favorable for the growth of
the plauts and that the fruit will
mature much earlier in the season.
Last season the frost caught the
crop, not over two thirds we're
picked. which caused a loss of
many hundred bushels of the
ripe fruit.
