TESTED RECIPES
Chicken Pie With Hominy Crust

Simmer the fowl that has been dis
jointed as for fricasse, until tender and
add little chopped celery, bay leaf and
Season with salt and paprika half an
hour before it is done. Remove the pieces
of chicken to a deep baking dish and
nearly cover with chicken gravy made
from some of the strained liquor in which
it has cooked, enriched with few spoons
tul of cream and thickened by the addition
OF little cornstarch moistened with cold
water. Have ready some freshly boiled
hominy. Season to taste with salt, pap
rika and little melted oleo and moisten
with beaten egg mixed with milk to con-
sistency, so that it will spread easily
Spread over the top of the pie, brush over
with oeo and brown in quick oven. This
crust (Which should be thin and crispy)
saves the wheat flour and is delicious with
the chicken gravy.
Salmi of Chicken
This is a useful recipe when small
amount of chicken must furnish the basis
of meal. Cut the meat in dice and also
the cooked giblets not used in the pie
Cook together two tablespoonsful of hot
shortening with one tablespoonful each of
chopped celery carrots and onion and
when slightly Drowned take out the vege-
tables, blend in one tablespoonful of corn
starch and add slowly cupful and half
Of the strained chicken liquor in which the
fowl was cooked. Cook, stirring constant
ly for seven minutes. Season with salt,
paprika, celery salt and a few drops of
and giblets. Cook slowly for ten minutes,
add few shelled olives and serve ou a
platter surrounded with border of fred
rolenta squares.

~ AVING every particle of wheat -four
in planning and preparing the daily
~ menus is now the most important
food problem, and it is really wonderful
what small amount is necessary when
other cereals, meals and flours are wisely
used.
Bread even of the wartime varieties. is
conspicuous by it's absence from all the
evening dinners, many of the breakfasts
and even some of the luncheons for the
coming week, cereals or potatoes being
substituted in it's place.
Unfortunately we have been in the
habit of demanding bread for every meal.
Just as we serve butter and rich pravies
and sauces together; but now that the
necessity has arisen for saving every pos
sible spoonful of wheat flour, we find that
crisp squares of fried hominy or polenta
(cornmeaD are quite as good as the light
est of bread or rolls.
Chickens and fowls have not been used
for the past few weeks in the menu SER
vice owing to the embargo on the "laving
hen," but now that this has been lifted
suggestions are offered for two "chicken
dinners in the present week that are par
tcularly good. The hominy crust for the
pie is highly recommended, and if there is
any difficulty in browning it in the oven
run it under the broiler of the gas range
for two or three minutes. This method is
also recommended for browning cereal
rolls and mullins, which are so apt to
scorch on the bottom before thew are
crisply brown on top.

Set the buttons back every now and then, espe-
cially the three bottom ones
have had a chiropodst tell me that half the
corns were caused by not setting back the but
tons to keep the shoes tight over the part of the
feet they should support.
But it must not be construed that tightness
over the instep tight shoe, for in a
tight shoe the normal activity Of the foot is
impossible, the circulation of the blood is i'm
peded and the joints are pressed out of place.
Naturally, the wearer reflects her discomfort
in face and manner, but this is triae COM
pared with the future troubles she is laying up.
What High Heels Do to You
In the face of the prevailing high heels it
seems useless to say very much, but will just
quote we'll known doctor: 'No woman pre-
tends that she is comfortable when wearing
high heels can she hope TO be graceful
when wearing them, for the body is thrown out
of poise and the action of the feet is restricted
More serious than her awkwardness is the
eventual injury to her health. For in the

NHERE is saying among military men
Which forcibly expresses the Importance
OF the feet: "a soldier on the march
IS no better than his feet. One who has not
1ree and perfect use of his feet in campaign
is about as useless as half-blind soldier would
De IN the work of sharpshooter"
Inns IS just as true of the housewife, espe-
clally one who belongs to the ever increasing
army OF women who must do their own work.
prominent foot specialist says: "Three-
fourths of the wrinkles, two-thirds of the back
aches, one-third of the cases of rheumatism and
nall the troubles about which women complain
can be traced directly to the atrocities which
women commit against their long suffering
standpatters." Statistics show women to be
the greatest foot sufferers.
What Housework Does to Feet
Why should women suffer more with their
1eet tnan men! Primarily because the very
time they should give their feet the greatest
care is the very time they misuse them-and
this is IN the house, about their various duties.
what KIND OF shoes are you wearing about
your work? Just the old ones that are too
shabby for the street, loose at the instep. run
over at the heel? No wonder your face is all
wrinkled up because your feet are hurtino 81
badly.
Your shoes may be all right as to size and
shape, but unless fastened properly at the point
OF control-the lnstep, every time you put YOUR
foot on the floor in walking it pushes down into
the toe of your shoe. At certain spots on the
foot this slipping causes friction which, when
continued hour after hour, day after day. is
sure to cause inflammation and soreness some
place, either on the soles of the feet, the tops,
ends and inner sides of the toes, the great or
little toe joint, or the back of the heel.
The rundown heel throws the body out of
poise, which strains the muscles of the feet and
legs and causes pains which are often attrib-
uted to rheumatic conditions.
What Kind Of Shoes Do You Buy?
Do you buy your shoes according to prevail
ing styles entirely? or according to the shape
and needs Of your feet? Improperly fitting
shoes do more than hurt the feet, they affect
the whole nervous system and often disturb the
health of the entire body.
If your foot is short you require a short
vamp, while q long foot requires the vamp to
be long. tapering foot needs this kind of
toe on the shoe and broad foot a round toe.
The shoe should conform as nearly as posi-
bic to the shape of the foot, and above all
things, should not be too short, for to wear
short shoe is the quickest possible way to get a
bunion.
BE sure shoe fits snugly under the arch,
carelessness in THIS respect is responsible for
much of that painful trouble known as fiat
foot or fallen arch.
laced shoe is by far the best kind to have
Tor the working shoe, for it can be made tight
over the instep and thus support the foot. But
IN buying laced shoes remember that they
should not come together when first laced. The
sides should gap or form v to give leeway for
Sne stretching Of the leather. If they come to-
gether at first they are soon so loose that the
foot slips all about.

of the simplest circulars describing the method
is issued by the Alabama Station, at Auburn
(Circular No. 36). These are the main points
in the process:
Only eggs of the first quality should be pre-
served. Infertile eggs are 10 be preferred
Select clean, uncracked eggs and do not soash
them.
Any container that will hold water and not
corrode will answer, such as glazed earthen
jars, glass fruit jars, galvanized buckets, etc.
A one-gsuon capacity container will hold three
dozen eggs; the containers should be filed.
The water glass may be purchased either in
the powdered or liquid form from any drug
store A 81 package in powdered form will
keep fifty dozen eggs The liquid glass costs
about $l.25 gallon.
Scald the container, boil the water to be used
to sterilize it thoroughly, and let it coN-
Dilute one gallon Of liquid water glass in ten
gallons of sterilized water Zone quart to ten
quarts of water), or use one pound of the pow
dered water glass to two gallons of sterilized
water.
Be sure that the water covers the top layer
of eggs at least two inches. Eggs may be
added to the solution each day and should be
as fresh as possible.
Place wooden cover or plate over the eggs
to make sure that they will be held at least
two inches below the liquid
When the container is full, tie heavy wrap
ping paper, dipped in vaseline or paraffine,
over it to prevent evaporation.
Keep the jar in cool place and do not re-
move eggs until they are to be used.
The theory of this process is merely that the
pores Of the eggs are filled with water glass,
and so are hermetically sealed.
Careful experiments have proved that eggs
so put up will keep from eight to ten months
perfectly, and the eggs absorb nothing delete
rious from the solution. The whites may be
slightly thinner than in a new laid egg, but
they will whip and are in good condition for
use. II water glass eggs are to be boiled,
pin hole should be made in the large end of the
egg, so that it will not crack in hot water
Fresh eggs put down at May prices will be
boon next December and January. when tha
