Extensive building operations are

Condiments

A trained home economics person
recently expressed surprise that any
housewife should not know what a
condiment is. AS a matter of fact
few laymen do know exactly what
this word means.
The dictionary definition reads:
"A sauce, relish, spice or the like
used to season or give relish to
food" Condiments are largely aro-
matte fruits, seeds and leaves con-
tanning volatile oils. The term, how
ever, is usually applied to sauce or
appetizers containing those ingredi-
ents such as horse-radish, chilli
sauce, Worcestershire ketchup, etc.
These have a real value in the diet
because of their mineral salts and
because they stimulate the flow of
the digestive juices. They should
never be used, however, to disguise
poorly prepared food or to stimulate
a false appetite.
In these days of food substitutes,
condiments have a real part to play.
They can help make palatable the
cheaper cuts of meat and they can
add flavor to fish or oysters.
Every war garden has its full
quota of tomato plants. The fol-
lowing receipt for chilli sauce will
take care of some of the surplus to-
matoes
Scald and peal twenty-four ripe
tomatoes; chop these up with two
red peppers, two green peppers and
two large onions. Put into an
enameled saucepan and add the fol-
lowing:
4 cupfuls of vinegar, 1-2 cupfuls
of brown sugar, 2 tablespoonfuls of
salt, 2 tablespoonfuls of whole all
spice, teaspoonsful of ground
ginger. tabiespoonfuls of whole
clover. teaspoonfuls of cinnamon,
teaspoonfuls of ground nutmeg.
Cook until the sauce begins to
thicken and the onions are well
done; this should not take over an
hour. Remove from stove. Put the
chilli sauce into jars and seal while
hot.

War Time
Economy
BY Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn

THE housekeeper is confronted
with most difficult propo-
sition. On the one hand she is
asked to reduce her consumption of
wheat, meat, sugar and butter, the
conservation of these being neces-
sary in order that the government
VIII have at its disposal the required
amount of these commodities to send
over to the soldiers and citizens of
our allies and our own soldier boys
doing valiant duty in the European
camps and those in the American
training camps as well. On the other
hand her first duty is to her own
family. They must have all the
foods they require to keep them in
good health and capable of perform
ing efficiently their daily tasks. She
has the constantly increasing cost of
all foods to take into consideration,
and so revision of receipts and
methods has become necessary in
order to attain any degree of salts
faction. We are finding that many
OF the food article we once thought
IuNurleS have become necessities be-
cause the well-known daily foods
have become scarcer. We have
learned many things during the last
Few months concerning foods-the
substitution of rye, cornmeal, buck
wheat and soy bean meal for white
hour may never have been possible
unless war drove the American
women to their use. Peanuts, beans.
cheese and cereals have been talked
OF for years, but we have actually
begun TO relish them better. But
ter, cream and olive oil will never
become a real necessity again be-
other vegetab BILE oils can be used with
more uniformly good results at a
greatly reduced cost. The liberal use
of fruits has been productive of a
reduced consumption of sugar. We
have learned that with the in
creased cost of eggs, that by increas-
ing the amount of baking powder
we might increase the number of
eggs in cakes, breads and puddings
without an appreciable change in
lightness or texture, and that by IN
creasing the baking powder and eX-
tracts we make up for the lost flavor
of butter or eggs in same. Baking
powder and extracts are not eXpen-
sive and we would not hesitate TO use
them in lieu of the expensive articles.
In the uncertainties of deliveries
to-day and scarcity of all foods in
the usual form it is wise to have on
hand several dozen cans of milk
condensed milk whenever sugar is to
be used and must be economical and
evaporated milk for bread, soups,
sauces, etc. 1t is interesting to learn
the many uses to which it can be
put. To have whipped cream for
cocoa. fruit gelatine, ice cream. par
fats, etc, requires not only eXpendi-
ture of more money than most of us
feel inclined to give for this purpose,
but it usually requires to be ordered
a day ahead. To whip evaporated
milk use small or baby cans. shake
