What is believed to be new worlds
record for chances accepted in a single
game of ball was established the other
day by Daubert, the Brooklyn first
baseman, when he had 81 putouts and
four assists in the 22-inning battle with
the Pirates. At least this is a latter
day record.
Jake himself disposed of as many
men as are required to complete a
nine-inning contest and even so he did
not kill off third of the men retired
in this one. He was the only Brook
Ignite to handle more than ten put
outs, except Otto Miller, who caught
the whole game and slew 13 opponents.

Galleries and Corn Bread.

Recent experiments conducted in New
York and elsewhere to prove that 20
cents day can feed one individual have
given us speaking acquaintance with
calOries. Among other things, we have
learned that corn bread contains twice
the number Of heat units of calories
as does wheat bread. Even this know
ledge might not induce eating the corn
bread one ordinarily sees.
Best corn bread is far too dry and
crumbly to be appetizing. This is part
iy from the way it is mixed, but much
more from from the manner of baking.
Corn bread must be cooked steadily, but
very slowly. The southern "hoe-eake -
was baked on either "hoe or on
hardwood boards placed in front of the
open fire. Cooked in this way the corn
meal retains its flavor and moisture.
BY using enameled ware baking pans or
frying pans, we get the best substitute
for this old method available Such
ware enables one to keep the contents
at an even temperature as long as re-
uuired. Seald the corn meal with boil
ing water, add salt and little milk.
Bake the cakes slowly in an uncovered
enameled ware frying pan over steady
fire and the caories it contains will
not be despised.
Making Preserves at Small Cost.
Not the least useful hint in these
menus for reducing the cost of living is
the insistenoe on the value of dried
fruit as an article of diet. Properly
cooked these dried fruits are delicious
and, quite apart from the difference j

SOME HOUSEHOLD HINTS

expense, are much more wholesome for
steady diet than rich preserves or
even canned fruits Apricots peaches,
plums ana pears are all prepared by the
evaporated process. Use only enameled
ware in cooking; that can not be af-
fectcd by the acid of the fruit. Put the
fruit in an enameled ware saucepan
and cover well with cold water. Put on
the back of the stove and let it heat
slowly and simmer for a couple of hours.
When the fruit is thoroughly soft, mash
with a spoon and let it cook until the
water is cooked away enough to make
a smooth, rich jam. Add one tablespoon
full Of sugar to quart of the jam The
peeled fruits although they cost trifle
more than the others are as cheap in the
end as they require less sugar in cook
ing.
A Sweet Economy in Desserts
The high cost of living makes the
housewife use her wits With meat ana
vegetables so expensive she can no
longer afford to order ices and cakes
from caterer for her parties.
1t was recently the turn of one wo-
man TO entertain a card club The us
ual dessert was ice cream, but when
the chicken had been bought for the
salad and the oysters for the stew the
hostess realized that she must cut
down somewhere. She must evoke a
dessert which should take the least pos
sibe quantity of expensive milk and
eggs This is the way she met the prob
lem, She made a lemon jelly with gel
atine. Instead of using large moulds,
lshe took the little enameled ware pans
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1917-04-09

which come for baking small fancy
cakes. Into each of these she poured a
spoonful of jelly. As soon as the jelly
began to stiffen she added to each
mould bit of fruit; malaga grape
skinned and seeded in one, "A slice of
banana in another and so on. When the
Jelly was perfectly stiff it was taken
out of the moulds and put on platters
ready to be served and the same cake
pans were used for the fancy cakes.
This was the old, economical "one,
two, three cake, but which was made
most attractive by fancy icings. This
whole dessert for sixteen people cost
less than one quart of ice cream, even
when made at home.
The Cranberry in New Role
Cranbcrrics to most people mean only
Jam or jelly to be eaten with pOul-
try They are differently regarded in
Europe One of the ways in which they
are there utilized might well be cop
led here. Cranberry juice which may
be "put up" and kept for any length
of time makes an especially delicious
water ice and a delightful addition to
summer drinks. To prepare this juice
place the cranberries in an enameled
ware preserving kettle, add sugar in
the proportion of one half pound to
one quart of the berries Pour on just
enough water to keep the berries from
scorching. Cook until the berries are
perfectly soft and easily crushed.
Strain through an ordinary Jelly bag
and bottle very hot.
The cranberry has strong acid and
it is important that it should be cook
ed in enamelware. In that way there is
no danger of any metallic action nor
of the juice being darkened in color.

London, Aug. with wide
stretch of territory and more than
$500 prisoners in their hands as the
result of the first days fighting in
their new offensive, the British and
French troops in Flanders spent last
night consolidating their gains and re-
pulsing German counter attacks.
The new line, which along the
greater part of its stretch is two
miles to two and half miles in ad-
vance of the old and includes ten cap
tured towns within its limits, has
been firmly held along the entire
front. Torrential rain is hampering
further operations.
Definite detectives were assigned
the various allied units for attain
ment in the first days stroke, and
these appear to have been gained al
most in their entirety.
The desperation of the German re-
sistance, now manifesting itself in fu-
rious counter attacks bears witness to
the importance the German high COM
mand attaches to retention Of the
present front
