Cooking With
A, Can Opener
Bv VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

n UNFORTUNATELY, many per-
sons have strong dislike for
nearly all canned meat and
fish. This is a mistake, for if they are
rightly. prepared and served they are
perfectly wholesome, excellent in flavor
and not expensive.
OF course, like all other food supplies,
the canned goods have advanced in
price: but when you take into consldeTa-
ton that very little fire is required to
reheat or cook them, that there is no
waste and that small quantity OF ready
cooked chicken, lobster, etc, can be had
on short notice to meet any emergency,
the cost, high though it may seem, is
not excessive.
All canned meats and fish should be
chilled before opening, as they come
out more easily from the can, generally
in one solid piece. Open them at least
a couple of hours before they are to be
used, rinse in cold water and expose If
possible to a cool current of air for

The Humble Kitchen Sink

One saving of time at the kitchen sink
is to have two drain boards instead of
one. This will make for much greater
ease of work. In the first place there
will be a chance to classify the dishes,
with a place for the soiled ones and one
for the clean ones. 1t makes possible
orderly dishwashing, which not only
helps to avoid chipping of dishes, but
saves time in the actual doing of the
work, because it means room where
dishes may be stacked in order of their
size, shape and quality, and if properly
stacked at the beginning it saves time
through the whole process, for they are
ready when clean to go back in the same
order on the Shelves
Your sink may not have two drain
boards; then it will be economy to look
about for substitute. Is it possible to
build drop shelf so near the sink that
it may easily receive the clean dishes?
Is there small table that could be put
on wheels? Keep at it until some way
additional space is procured. The house
keeper or maid will be we'll paid for the
effort.
Have you good light near the sink?
A dark corner sink too often means poor
ly washed dishes. In planning to have a
new sink arrange to have direct light.
In making an old sink better bring any
artificial light placed so that the wash
ing does not cast shadow.
Don't Make Soap in the Drain Pipes
connection with the sink? Keep a
strainer in the sink to prevent any par
ticles of food or coffee grounds from
going into the drain. Choose strainer
with a fine wire mesh rather than those
which have holes large enough to let
good sized particles of food pass through.
What is called in the store soup
strainer is about right.

Plain Apple Sauce With Raisins

Select tart, juicy apples and peel them
thinly. This is a matter of some i'm
portance, for it is claimed that much of
the delicious fruit flavor lies directly
under the skin. Cut the apples in slices
and pour over them just enough infer
mented grape juice to keep them from
burning. Add large handful of raisins,
bit of stick cinnamon and little graf
ed lemon peel. Simmer gently until the
slices are transparent, then lift them
out, add very little sugar and cook
down the syrup until thick. Pour over
the fruit and set in cold place.

of partially burned coal to use for the

Keep the stove clean, inside and out
All ashes must be kept from the inside,
because it will require more fire to heat
an oven when the heated air has to 90
through layer of ashes. Keep the fues
of the stove clean, otherwise the drafts
are hindered Stopped up drafts pro-
duce smaller amounts of heat, so the in
clination is to open all the hampers,

constantly disturbed either by poking il

to be burned in the kitchen stove put it
on when there is very hot fire, and al
ways have the waste as free from water
as possible. 1t is hard to keep good
fire if much garbage is put into it.
How to Wash Stoves Face
Keep the stove clean on the outside,
because it will keen the saucepans in bet
ter condition and they will be more easily
washed. and in the end will save the
dishcloths. To have the stove clean,
crumple sheets of newspaper until soft
and spongy, and after each meal rub the
entire stove, using one piece after an
ether. This will take up all the grease
and the paper will be good to kindle
the fire.
For more thorough cleaning of the
stove use the same kind of crushed pa
per, warm water and soap or soap pow
der, and actually wash the stove. If it
is gas stove, the burners should be de-
tachable. in which case put them in a
pan of water to which washing soda has
been added Zone pound of soda CRYSTALS

IS dissolved, give them a hot rinse, wine

and quickly.
After all the gr ase is removed by
washing with soda. the burners may be-
come slightly rusted, in which case when
they are dry, and cool, wipe them with a
little kerosene applied with a soft paper.

How to Treat a Dish Towel
Dish clothes and dish towels are easily
kept in prime condition by rinsing out
after each meal. Cold water and dis

grease, but why should there be any
grease if dishes are we'll scraped. we'll

hlt-and-mlss purposes about the kitchen?
Make holders to use around the stove
and the oven floor cloths to use on the
floor-in other words, keep each cloth for
its special purpose. Twice week dish
cloths should be boiled, giving them as
much sun and air as possible In this
day of cotton, dish towels more care will
be required than for linen ones, as cot
ton discolors more quickly than linen.
4 Clean, Wholesome Garbage Pail
Better not buy too large a pail to be
used at the sink. A smaller one is more
easily cleaned and more easily handled.
If owing to various regulations concern
ing the collection of garbage one must
store garbage for day Or two it would
be wise to keep larger pail outside the
kltchen-in fact, outside the house. The
smaller pail may be lined with two thick
nesses of newspaper This is easily done
by folding the sheets in half, then in
quarters, pie fashion, and tearing off the
corners. This paper makes the cleaning
OF the garbage pail such a small matter
mat no one hesitates over it. A tea
spoonful of washing powder to half
pail OF hot water each day will trans
form the pail into fresh, clean utensil.
