A. Handy Wartime Cook Book
Blu Mrs. Christine Frederick
The Distinguished Authority on Household Efficiency

Every woman may feel that her
own kitchen Is a laboratory. and
her own pots and pans the equip
ment with which 10 save food and
thus make bullets for the Huns
Surely women who have formerly
thought housekeeping only an old
job. can feel that they are now
on a par with chemists. research
workers and other professionals,
seeking greater accuracy and truth.
In her neat uniform OF Hoover
blue, each woman in her kitchen
can immensely further the work
OF food research. It is not neces-
ssry to go TO Washington, but
merely 10 stay in ones own
kitchen and seek greater knowl-
edge about more adaptable com
binations and more wholesome
dishes.
A good plan IS to place the box
OF recipes on the shelf over the
work table. A piece of plain win
dow glass the required size may
DO placed over the front card in
order to keep 1t clean. Fhere is
also a manufactured card index
protected by two white metal or
celluloid ends, which is excellent.
This may be read from either di-
reotion, that IS. the card may be
written on both sides, and the box
viewed from either ends. One
clever woman got her handy man
around the house to fasten the in
dex box to a little sliding shelf, or
drawer which she can easily pull
out into view when needed or push
back when not in use.
The box may be covered with
white oilcloth OF TO match other
kitchen trimmings. II is a good
plan to have a pad Of paper and
pencil hanging near, on which
suggestions. improvements and
other remarks about the recipe
may be written down while it is
being tested.

worked with barley -four for a
long time until she finally achieved
a delectable barley gingerbread.
She had varied considerably from
the Government recipe and made
an original creation.
After her experimenting was
over and she had a really stand
ardized. or perfected recipe, she
wrote down on q card the exact
quantities, the time OF prepare
ton. the cost and approximate
amount. In this way she had
more than a recipe-she had. YOU
might say, scientific thesis on
the whole subject OF barley and It's
use on a batter type OF bread. The
same thing occurs often with other
dishes, in the use OF cereal loaf
and in other "camoufiaged" and
conservation meals. where n card
should be used on which to write
the final. perfected result.
One cooking shelf which the
author viewed recently was Ger.
tainly a bad appearing place. Clip
pings and booklets were loosely
pinned against the glass doors OF
the cabinet Other booklets we're
hanging up with a string. more
clippings were stuffed in the back
OF the regular cook book. One
sudden jerk while at work would
have brought the whole litter down
upon the work table.
The small son OF this particular
housekeeper was enlisted land
bribedD TO assist in cutting, past
ing and putting the recipes in or
der. Several hours work resulted
in one neat box with about thirty
headings. and some seventy-five
chosen recipes all arranged in or
der, and once so arranged It was
easy to continue the order and ar
rangement
The amount that recipe makes
should never be omitted from the
card. because one OF the chief
faults OF the old-time cook-books
was that the beginner in cooking
never knew whether her pudding
would make enough for. four or a
dozen. In these times OF high food
cost It is important TO standardize
the recipe down 70 a small unit,
let us say for three or four peo-
pie. and write the number approx
mately served alongside the recipe.
Cost is another important item

but often when 10 IS tried II will he

The Bad Habit of

A CLEAR, smooth complexion, OF

that a woman can have. II is the
sign of inward health and physical
purity. A placid. clear-white skin,
dsintily suffused with the color OF

But such a complexion cannot be

this that the cleaner the skin OF the
face is kept the better the complex

You must also give yourself
plenty Of sleep and avoid the stag
mating poison OF breathing impure
air. Many women, too, have a habit
OF making monkey faces" The
habit Of making many needless
movements is a deadly menace to a
woman's beauty. Pursuing up your
lips. or twitching the muscles or
your face at the slightest emotional
suggestion, or flinging your head
aloft in aimless little gestures are
not a mark OF vivacity but OF ner-
vousness.
Nervousness IS the sworn foe OF
a smooth, unlined skin. To free
yourself from this predisposition
YOU must give yourself special
special treatment for Il. Light

corrective for nervousness. Be
cause so many OF the nerves lie
near the skin and a light massage
