IL III 4ol. IL

XNTE can't can-we've nowhere
w to store our products, except
next to the kitchen stove or
by the furnace in the cellar" eve
can't buy in large quantities-we've no.
where to keep our provisions.
These are two of the things that the
housewife says to us from time to time
when we urge ''busy bee" policy OF
storing up foods for the winter and
sound commercial plan of not living
from hand to mouth, but getting the ad-
vantage of semi-wholesale prices.
When the Institute canned in the
Peoples Market in The Bronx last sum-
mer the plan was discussed of building
lockers in the basement of the market
and renting them at nominal rate to
the women of the neighborhood for the
storage of their canned goods In con-
nection with the economy OF coopera-
tive club buying in comparatively large
quantities the establishing of COM
munity icebox is especially pertinent,
and Miss Johnston's article shows what
Cleveland has done along this line.
Why not cold store your own eggs
and then you will find out how much
they ought to cost you by Christmas?
Fruits, butter, vegetables and meat can
all be bought at the time when they are
cheapest and held for the season of
shortage
OF course, this means the charge for
storage and a little executive ability in
planning just how and when you will
visit the community icebox and take out
your marketing When you take over
any of the labor of food storage and
distribution you save money, but you
also grow in appreciation of why the
margin on foods between the farm and
the consumer is so wide
The care and distribution of foods
cost money. If you aren't willing to
give any time and trouble to the matter
you cannot expect to econonize You
will save the profits of the men who per-
torn these services for you, but you
will find that many of them are merely
making iiving-not profteering-
When you come to do the work yourself.
If impossiblities are not expected,
however, we are sure the public icebox
will prove great economy and con-
Venlence, as we'll as a sanitary measure,
When the readjustment is once made.
The time to plan for the public icebox
IS when new markets are building, not
afterward, when it is too late, for, Of
course, the community icebox should be
attached to the market, just as the pub
nc laundry should be attached to the
public baths.

TESTED RECIPES
Corn and Green Pepper Pudding

Score and scrape from the cobs enough
raw corn to make one pint. Open two
sweet green peppers, remove seeds and
white veins and shave in the tiniest par
ticles. Arrange corn and peppers in
baking dish and season lightly with
little salt and celery salt. Blend to-
gether one cupful Of thin cream (that
taken from the top of the bottle will an
swer) and one lightly beaten egg, add
two tablespoonsful of melted butter and
pour over the vegetables Bake in pan
Of hot water for forty minutes.
Spider Corn Cake
An old-fashioned, heavy iron frying
pan is just the thing for baking a spider
corn cake. Mix together three-quarters
of cupful of cornmeal, two tablespoons
full of wheat flour, half teaspoonful of
salt, one tablespoonful Of sugar and one
third Of a teaspoonful of baking soda.
Beat one egg, add one cupful of sour
milk and half of cupful of sweet milk.
Melt tablespoonful Of pork fat in the
spider, turn the pan so that bottom and
sides will be thoroughly creased, then
pour the remainder of the fat into the
batter and beat again. Pour the batter
into the hot pan, shake gently to level it
and pour over the top half cupful of
milk. Do not stir, place in hot oven
and bake twenty minutes.
Corn Salad
Press cold cooked corn from the cob
after scoring the kernels. Dust lightly
with salt and paprika and drain thor

to keep it's temperature from rising is de-
manding attention from city, state and nation.
The city markets commissioner takes hand
in the ice situation, the state ice controller,
whose job is ice and nothing but ice, has his
say, and the food administration through the
ice conservation commission sees the situation
in the terms of the whole people.
Every season brings with it it's own diff
culties, each seemingly more trying than the
last. But even before the war precipitated
perpetual round of problems upon US New
York housewives struggled with the made
quacy of the family refrigerator.
Aside from couple of Shelves two by four,
inside, in an icechest which stands in an over
heated kitchen, the fat-dweling housewife
has absolutely no cool place for storing food,
and the apartment house family is not much
better off in this regard There is no cool
closet in which to keep canned fruits and vege-
tables pickles, preserves and the like. A bar
rel of apples is an impossibility; so is barrel
of potatoes-there is no place to store such
prodgal purchases. Meat, eggs, poultry, but.
ter, vegetables, fruit and all pershable foods
must be bought hand to mouth, by far the
most expensive way to purchase, because
there is no way of keeping them cool enough
to properly preserve them.
With only mite Of an icebox, jammed to
overhowing, with no space and no means Of
chilling it if she had it, there is no doubt that
the New York housekeeper would greet with
a sigh of qualification public icebox. In the
same way that she keeps valuable papers ana
the best silver in a safety deposit vault at
her bank she would keep chickens, butter
eggs and vegetables in a refrigerated vault
in the public cold storage plant
The city of Cleveland, Ohio, owns and
operates what is probably the only munich
pally owned cold storage plant in the country
1t is housed in the newest and finest of Cleve-
lands public markets, occupying the base
ment of the building. There is storage space
ITO by Sc feet, divided into fourteen rooms,
in each of which different kind of food is
kept. A separate room is devoted to the
storage of meats, another to the storage OF
vegetables and fruits, another to butter and
eggs, and on.

Boiled corn Is good, but roasted corn is
better. Why eat war breads at ali If you do

"ORN rightly used will help ma.
terially to win the war; more.
over, it is real American
nroduct and it ought to be our national
dish. Not so many years ago corn and
cornmeal formed the basis of only few
fccds and dishes. Now corn is a break
fast cereal, the basis of nearly one hun
dred sorts of bread and mullins; it's
sugar, syrup, a salad oil, cooking
oil. dessert material and even candy,
and being such distinctively American
food it should rank with the Thanksgiv-
ing turkey and ice cream in our affec-
tons.
In the menus for the coming week both
fish and corn are generously used, while
meat is conspicuous by it's absence. A
little salt pork and the sweetbreads for
Sundays dinner are the only supplies
from the butcher. Eggs, fresh vege-
tables and fruits, milk and cheese, how
ever, more than make up for the "meat
shortage" and during the summer
months the family health as we'll as the
pocketbook will be safeguarded by scrv-
ing meals Of lighter character.
In making the green corn griddle cakes
add to one pint of grated green corn half
a cupful of milk. one tablespoonful of
melted shortening, one well-beaten egg,
the yolk of another, one-quarter of a
teaspoonful of salt and a pinch of

At first the public did not realize that
there was actually opportunity here for the
private family to store ten pounds of butter
or six dozen eggs for as many weeks or months
as need be. But the task of persuading folks
to patronize this "gft of the (city) gods"
was not difficult.

farmers selling from wagons. Another is
fish market on public dock, where the con-

reduction of one-half and even more in the
price of fish.
All kinds Of market products are sold in
Cleveland's $1,000,0OO market. 1t is open for
the sale of produce only four days week.
During the three days when it is closed great
quantities of perishable foods left unsold in
the stalls, instead of being carted through the
dusty streets of the city, are removed to the
refrigerated rooms in the basement of the
building This was the primary idea of in

they needed, so part of the space was thrown
