delicious and appetizng sandwich, with
preferably crisp vegetable filling, or one in
which so small a quantity of meat or fish is
used that it only favors and gives zest to the
other ingredients, is ideal main course for
the summer luncheon or supper In fact, on
an especially torrid morning a watercress and
tomato or lettuce and cucumber sandwich
Is not to be despsed as the main course for
breakfast. If the vegetables are ready in the
icebox, getting breakfast then means only
making the coffee and dshing the fruit and
cereal
We still continue to hear complaints that
the various war breads are not so good as
those made from the wheat -four. But all
must admit that the bread made from the
coarser grains and the brown breads seem to
combine particularly we'll with fresh vege-
tables and edible greens. In fact, they seem
to supplement each other and, with good but
ter, make the most delicious sandwiches.
Fortunately, too, these summer sandwiches
are very inexpensive. Almost any odds and
ends of both cooked and raw food can be
utilized for the different filings. Keep on
hand in the icebox jar of mayonnaise or
boiled dressing and modify it by the addition
Of a spoonful of catsup or chill sauce, few
drops Of Worcestershire sauce, dash Of chut-
ney or even little chopped piccalilli These
dressings are most useful for seasoning the
sliced or chopped filings, and when a simple
French or vinaigrette dressing is used the
sliced vegetables are best dipped in it, and
the bit Of edible green, like cress or lettuce,
treated in the same way, after it has been
washed and most carefully dried When a

bread.

Tomato and Cheese Sandwich
Peel, slice and chill the tomatoes. Butter
thin slices of bread made of rolled oat flour,
and use as filling a slice Of tomato dipped in

A MESS KIT THAT is STOVE. UTEN-

4 FRIENDSHIP fire is its own excuse.
~ Every camp no matter how fleeing
should have one, whether it be only
a few twigs or great bonfire with deep glow
ing embers. But whatever may be roasting
or baking broiling over the open fire,
whether your time be short or long, and espe-
eially if it is the end of the day and rest and
food mean for the moment more even than
friendship and dreams-you need this compact
little mess kit. 1t will quickly and easily, with
no anxiety or waiting your part, boil the
coffee, and heat the soup, or warm up the
beans-in prosaic but most comfortable and
efficient way.

cubes (25 Of them). When set up the little
stove and its two decks of utensils is 81
inches high. The base is ventilated and con-
tains the combustion cup for the fuel cubes.
In the vessel just above the flame pint OF

pending upon the size of the two cubes used
At the same time pint of soup or beans in
the compartment above may be heated to serv-

Another Canning Rack

This season there have been many good can
ming racks with special claims to merit market
ed, but we believe it can be safely said that
the Fits Email Jar Rack possesses one en-
tirely original feature.
This rack is made of timed wire, is an oval
grid in form and so constructed that it can
be readily widened or lengthened Thus it
can be quickly and easily made to fit into
either No. 7, No. 8, or No. washboiler.
When contracted to the minimum. it measures
II inches long by 10 inches wide, but can be
made to measure 1914 inches long and 121z
inches wide, to fit properly into No. boiler
IT necessary 1t may even be extended fur
Their, but we doubt the need of larger size
rack, especially in the average household. It's
capacity ranges from seven to fifteen jars
The end handles of the rack are formed
with rounded hooks at two different heights
so that the rack can be partially lifted from
the boiler and hooked onto the ends This
does away with the need for litter and
makes 1t possible to steam-blanch the veg
etables or fruits by placing them in cheese
cloth bag on the rack raised above the water
In placing the jars on the rack, little
care must be exercised that they are not set
on the sliding joint in the bottom, as some
unsteadiness might result, especially during
hard boiling.

But ANTICIPATED corn that never was sweet

age and character will not improve each other
by the mixing. To have it at it's best and as it
was prepared on the old plantations try it this
way:
To every two quarts of young, tender lima
beans allow one dozen ears of sweet corn in
the milky stage. Put the shelled beans into
boiling sailed water while you prepare the
corn. Remove every trace of silk; with a
sharp knife cut down through the centre of the
grains and with the back of the knife scrane
off the corn leaving the hulls on the ear. Ana
to the boiling beans many of the corncobs
as the kettle will hold and cook all until the
beans are nearly tender; then remove the
cobs, add the corn and boil for eight minutes
longer. Drain off the water, season to taste
