GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.
BY Henrietta GVauel.
THE SCHOOL GIRLS FAVORITE.

A dill pickle in the school lunch brings
a food Of rcmcmbranccs to the mind ot
the grown up observer. There is some
thing about the spicy sweet -and-sour,
Juicy thing that reminds YOU OF many
half-forgotten experiences of your school
days and makes YOU hunger again for
the school girls favorite pickle,
There is no vinegar used IN making
dill pickles, and your success IN hav-
ing them keep nicely lies in having the
brine lust right 4 small wooden kcg
or bucket is the best contancr to pack
them in. but an unglazed crock will do
On the bottom put a layer oi dill fiowcrs
and leaves. and some mixed spices, then
n layer Of the cucumbers Then another
laycr of dill and spice and so on until the
container is almost full Over all spread
several thcknesScs Of grape leaves. Cover
with brine
Make the brine with ono pound Of
salt TO seven quarts of water This
brine should cover the cucumhcrs which
should be pressed beneath II with a
weighted board 4 few slices Of onion
may be put in with the dill. but this is a
matter Of taste. rs is the quantity Of spice
used
When the brine has fcrmcntcd, the
l1eg should be closely covered and kept IN
a cool place Five davs to a week Is
required for complete fermentation
When preparing pickles. or ANYTHING
in which brine is used. or vinegar. avoid
the use Of metal vessels If il Is ncccs-
sarv To boil vinegar use porcelain or
crockcrv on the stove. II vinegar Is
very sharp. it will eat into pickles and
should be diluted with boiled. cooled
water
A small piece Of alum is used in all
pickles to keep them firm 4 lump Ms
large as the end of your little finger or
rs much powdered alum as viii lie on a
dime in n gallon OF vinegar, or brine, Is
not enough To DC injurious and is all
that is required.
As the pickles ripen. pick them from
the vines, wash and put them into me
dunn brine where they will keep as long
as you want them there. When all arc off
the vines. sort them according to size
Gherkins, or smallest pickles, need
only to be covered with scalding hot
vinegar Add spices to them and pack
into bottles or glass jars and they are
done.
Cucumber pickles should be put IN
10 enough vinegar to cover them. af
ter they come from the brine: add specs
and set on tho stove where they will heat
gently, but not boil When the vinegar
Is scalding hot. pack the pickles in Jars
Heat fresh vinegar and add one cup of
sugar to each half gallon Pour this over
the pickles and seal tight. This Is an
excellent sweet pickle.
For sour pickles omit The sugar and
use more horscradish and mustard and
peppers than YOU would use in the sweet
ar DediqlTu-SOtIr mixtures " hen max ing
mustard pickles. mix the mustard and
tumeric with vinegar 10 a smooth paste
Add this after the vinegar Is off the stove

PEOPLE URGED TO LAY IN A SUPPLY
OF FUEL FOR THE COMING WINTER TO
PREVENT SHORTAGE AS EXPERIENCED

The Rock Island county fuel ad-
ministration is backing J. f. Will
liams, fuel administrator for the
state of Illinois, in his warning
that it will be necessary for the
householders to lay in as much OF
their coal during the summer
months as possible, in order to
avert conditions during the coming
winter, which will be as serious,
and possibly more serious, than
during the winter months through
which we have just passed.
The local administration and Mr..
Williams are both sounding warn
ing that there is grave danger that
the consumers will rest easy now
that spring is breaking and will
fail to look at the situation in the
right light.
The following appeal has been
made by Mr.. Williams and it has
the hearty support of the Rock Is
land fuel administration:
THE supply of coal is still in
adequate. If left to its natural
course, there is not enough in sight
to satisfy all demands. That means
that somebody must go without a
full fuel supply. and we may be
again forced to the bitter choice of
either letting the homes grow cold
or making the industries shut
down.
