With STALE BREAD
MANY DISHES MAY BE PREPARED
FROM REMNANTS.
Can Be Put to Excellent Use for
Stuffing and Meat Frying-Bread
Custard Pudding Is Good
Jelly for Invalids.

OF all the leftover remnants Of food
from the kitchen bread is the most
common, perhaps, and many pieces are
daily thrown away which little
thought would turn to excellent use. If
the leftover pieces are not utilized the
same day, an excellent plan is to wrap
them in pieces Of waxed paper and
store them in a stone jar. They will
keep we'll for a week in this way.
Dried Crumbs for Stuffing and Meat
Frying.-Put the crusts and small
pieces in a baking pan and dry in the
oven without burning. They may then
be put through the food chopper and
stored in clean Mason Jars until want
ed. They may be used as basis for
meat croquettes, poultry stuffing and
other things.
French toast may be made from the
whole slices Of leftover bread. 1t is
an excellent luncheon pickup dish.
Beat an egg and add little milk. Dip
the slices Of bread in this and fry a
nice brown in hot drippings. Serve
with butter, jelly or marmalade.
Bread custard Pudding.-Cut the
bread in dainty shapes and butter lib
orally. Make plain custard Of eggs,
milk and sugar. Put in baking dish
and float the buttered bread on top.
Sprinkle with grated nutmeg and bake
in quick oven until brown. This is
excellent.
To make croutons for the various
soups so much relished in season, cut
the bread in cubes and fry in butter or
dripping just before serving with the
soup. Add five or six to each plate of
soup. These are delicious with almost
any soup.
Bread Jelly for InvaIids.-Scald the
stale bread freed from crusts. Mash
to paste until of mushlike consisten-
cy. Add little sugar and flavoring,
mold, chill and serve with cream.
Sterilized bread crumbs are epecial-
Iy valuable for the young children in
the household. A jar should be kept
filled with these. They may be heated
when wanted and sprinkled in soft
eggs, soups, milk, fruit juices and, in
deed, anything eaten by very young
children where fresh bread is often
positively dangerous.
Dried bread is also valuable for mix
ing with various other foods for feed
ing the household pets.

then cut a spring chicken in quarters
and fry on ham. When nearly brown
add one-half can of sugar corn, sea-
son with salt, paprika and a pinch of
grated nutmeg. Pour over whole
enough cream and tomato sauce to
cover. Put in oven for about ten min
utes and serve as cha6ng dish.

For Bamboo Articles.

A soft rag saturated with solution of
equal parts of spirits of camphor and
linseed oil is a handy thing to keep
around the house. 1t is the best thing
you can get to rub down bamboo furni-
ture with, for it loosens the fiber and
makes the wood more elastic. For this
reason it will not crack when exposed
to changes of temperature.
