Goldfish will answer for the soufilc. 4
two-pOund haddock for Fridays dinner
and 4 can of sardines for the Sunday
night supper, the latter costing about
IS cents.
No separate cream is allowed for
coffee or cereal either, some of the
top of the bottle being used for this
purpose or a little of the plain milk
cooked slowly over hot water mot al
lowed to boiD with a bit of butter
until well thickened, and then poured
into the strong, clear coffee.
Butter is not served with dinner. "a
the meat and seasoned vegetables, gen
orally with sauce or gravy, furnish
sufficient fat without this costly arti-
Gle. Also all cake is cut from the
menus as well as pies, which also al
lows for considerable saving in but
ter.
Fruits and vegetables are served
daily, and, as these are now fairly rea-
sOnahle in price, they may frequently
take the place of meat, as in the ,ege-
table salad, the grilled tomatoes and
the corn oysters. Extra lard and other
shortening are not included in the
grocery estimate, as when meat is pur-
chased an extra piece of beef suet
should always be asked for. This is
generally given free Of charge to a
regular customer. and if other fats are
carefully saved and the whole clarified,
an excellent medium is secured for
many cooking purposes free of charge.

IN PLANNING these wartime me-
nus" that seem almost a necessity
Il when commodities are at their
present high prices, extremely simple
meals are arranged and the cater
er must bear constantly in mind
that not particle of edible food must
be wasted. Bits of vegetables (eIther
cooked or raw too small to be served
in any other way should be saved for
a vegetable salad, added to a pot of
nutritious soup or used as the hlling
for the breakfast omelet.
Sub-dividing the basket of strawber-
ries or the head of cabbage may seem
TO many like a sordid proceeding, but
when only a few of the former are
needed for garnishing, as in the junket
served for Monday, and less than half
the head of cabbage for the salad
on Thursday, the remainder OF both
can he utilized for the breakfast fruit
on Tuesday and the creamed cabbage
TO accompany the ham on Saturday.
Fresh meat or fish is provided once
daily, except on Thursday. the cheaper
varieties and cuts being made use of,
and in this connection one pound and
a half of veal is allowed for the veal
loaf, a lucent soup bone for the pot
au feu, one slice of cooked ham and
three slices of cooked tongue for the
macaroni ragoit; one pound of raw
ham and a foyl weighing about four
pounds will do for the Sunday dinner.

of properly mashed potatoes is to be light and

possible without too much labor is useful
thing to have in the house.
In the case of the Silver Potato and Fruit
Press, its usefulness is doubled because it not
only rices potatoes, hard cooked eggs and any
thing else that needs ricing, but serves as
press for any fruit that may need pressing.
The mechanism is extremity simple-nothing
but a japanred iron handle with ring, into
which fits a perforated tin cup. A second
handle is hinged to the back of this ring and
operates the punger, which fits closely into the
cup and does the ricing or pressing, as the case

Standard Electric Table Stove
Made by the Standard Stamping Company
Marysville Ohio.


With summer coming on and the family
drifting naturally into outdoor life, the small
table electric stove, which can be used on the
porch or anywhere else within reach of lamp
socket or an electric outlet, is practically ne
cessitv in every home where comfort is con-
sideraton.
1t is possible with this stove and an electric
percolator to prepare the entire breakfast at
table. The little stove is a three-story affair,
provided with two shallow pans, one deep YES
sci into which can be fitted grid for broiling
or an egg poacher with four egg cups, and a
toaster that fits between the two parts OF the
heating elements.
This latter is mounted in two layers about
two inches apart. The wire drawer in when
the toasting is done slides between these two
parts so that both sides of the bread are eX-
posed at the same time to the glowing coils OF
wire. After these coils are heated toasting
can be done at the rate of one slice minute,
without interfering with the other cooking OPP
erations.
If it is breakfast that is preparing, 1t can be
done in short order. The bread to be toasted
is slipped into the wire drawer; bacon or chops

water to a boil. All other cooking processes
are quickly DONE however, even to the broiling
of four thick lamb chops within fifteen MIN

and was entirely unaffected by the cooking OF
the lamb chops in the pan below.
The Standard Electric Table Stove is about
seven inches square, and is made Of pressed
steel. nickel plated. All the pans and other
appliances are, Of course, of the same size and
shape, and each is provided with an ebonized
handle The heating element is of the open
glowing coil type, and the cost Of operation at
the rate of 10 cents per kilowatt hour is 5H4
