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 cleo 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 tablespoonful 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
~ 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 on 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.

feet they should support.
But it must not be construed that tightness

impossible, the circulation of the blood is i'm

Naturally, the wearer reflects her discomfort

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

Which forcibly expresses the Importance
OF the feet: "a soldier on the march
IS no better than his feet. One who has not
Tree and perfect use of his feet in campaign

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 hurting 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
the 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 Theoretically 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

WRECKED A
BUGGY BADLY
Aim Coming Off 4 Wheel Causes Com
pIete Smashing of Vehicle and
Very Narrow
ESCAPE.

Amicable settlement has been made
for the wrecking OF buggy Of Robert
Branson, living near the powder works
which was knocked into smithereens
by a tire testing car driven by Roy
Humphrey.
Humphrey was in the act Of pass
ing the buggy several miles out the
Main street road when his left front
rim and tire came of the wheel. This
threw his car around, and he hit the
vehicle hard enough to knock it TWEEN
ty feet through a wire fence into an
adjoining field. Mr.. and Mrs. Bran
son and small child were in the bug
gy and landed in the field somewhat
bruised but not badly hurt.
All four wheels of the buggy were
demolished, three Of them being re-
solved into their original pieces with
every spoke shattered, but the hub and
a few spokes of the other wheel re
manned on the axle.
1t is believed that striking the bug
gy prevented Humphreys car from
turning over and injuring him severe
1y. 1t was agreed by all the parties in
the accident that nobody was to blame
the wreck being caused by the rim
coming off at the instant of passing
the buggy.

SAVE FRUIT PITS
AND NUT SHELLS
They are Needed Very Much to Make
Gas Masks for the Protection
of Our Soldiers From
keokuk

All Keokuk people are asked to
save carefully all nut shells and fruit
pits and turn them over to the local
Red Cross chapter to be sent to the
war department for use in making
gas masks to protect Keokuk soldiers
in France.
It has been found that carbon made
by proper burning of nut shells and
the pits of peaches, apricots, prunes,
plums, cherries and other fruits is
very valuable in the construction of
the antidotal filling of gas masks.
The war department has asked the
Red Cross to aid in collecting as
many tons as possible of these things
for use In its gas mask factories.
Keokuk people should save all such
things carefully in some receptacle
In the home, and as soon as pint
or more has accumulated they should
be given to the Keokuk Red Cross
chapter which will dry and ship
them In accordance with war de-
partment orders.

STATE AID TO
BOULEVARD
Illinois Lake Shore Drive to Be Put
in Excellent Condition and
Made More Like Iowa
Boulevard.

The Illinois lake shore boulevard
between Nauvoo and Hamilton has
been declared a state aid road by
the Hancock county board of super
yisors. This means that the state
of Illinois will pay half the cost OF
putting and keeping 1t in first-class
condition hereafter. 1t has been
very poor in Sonora township, which,
under the Illinois road law, could
keep its six-mile stretch as poor as
it pleased, which was very poor.
This new action obviates that fault
The boards committee that in
spected the road, in their report rec
commended this action, provided that
Sonora township puts in some ditch
es and a bridge at a certain place,
also repairs at the bottom of the
Knipe hill. Supervisor Balmer youcn-
ed that this would be done. The
state is to pay one-half of the up
keen of the road and the county the
other half, but they will not do so
until after the war. and it Is contin-

RAISING OF
SAINT PAUL
1t was Long and Difficult Job and
Finally Accomplished
With Chinese

With Chinese
Anchors.
Getting the steamer Saint Paul off
the sandbar above Quincy was long
and difficult job, finally accomplished
in the morning of the second day
after she went aground.
The boat was finally released by
the use of Chinese anchors which
are timbers, often three trunks,
stuck in the sand in certain man
ner known to the steamboat frater-
nifty. Lines from the stranded craft
are fastened to the anchors and the
boat is warped off of the bar inch
by inch. 1t was pulled eastward into
water deep enough to float the craft.
The government boats Dandelion,
Lucia and Emily all worked long and
hard at the job of releasing the ST.
Paul, and the government dredging
fleet which is working north of the
place, and nearby where the st. Paul
struck, also had big hand in the
work. These rescue crews broke up
about 1,SOo feet of heavy rope, try
ing to pull the st. Paul off the bar,
before it was finally accomplished
All of the rescue crew were dam
aged somewhat, but none of them
seriously. The Dandelion lost three
big tenders, torn off when she scraped
alongside the ST. Paul in one OF the
maneuyers, and the other boats had
somewhat similar experiences The
Dandelion crew say the st. Paul was
not properly equipped with lines, etc.
for such an emergency. and that If
the boat had been prepared to meet
it promptly, the big craft could prob
ably have been floated in much less
time.
The boat went up the river for
Davenport and was practically I'M
damaged.

BOARD TO HAVE
A CHIEF CLERK
Secretary Meyer Ordered Relieved
OF Extra Duties of Taking
Care Of Office Work
Here

Beginning October l, the local e1-
emptiOn board of Lee county IS TO
have a new chief clerk
A. P Meyer, Of Fort Madison, has
acted both as secretary and chief
clerk Of the board up to the present
time. 1t is believed that each board
should employ a chief clerk who is
not a member Of the local board,
thus enabling various board mem
bers to devote all their time to the
duties which of necessity must fall
upon them. Feeling that the activi-
ties Of secretary will consume all of
one persons time and attention, now
that the registration work Is so
heavy, Mr.. Myers will be relieved of
the work Of chief clerk.
The appointment OF the new clerk
has not as yet been made.
