TOMATOES, variously cooked. a

TOMATOES, variously cooked, as
we'll as eaten raw, appeal especial
~ to the home caterer during the
weeks of late summer. They ripen
daily in many of the kitchen gardens
and may also be purchased at low cost
in the markets.
Properly cooked, tomatoes may often
form the principal dish for luncheon or
supper, and as the piquant flavor of the
vegetable is almost universally liked
and it combines so we'll with a host of
dunn for "extending" fish and meat and
great variety of appetzing made
dishes
Economical and wise catering means
to take advantage of any food supply
that Is in season, and consequently at it's
cheapest and best; so shop for your to-
matoes, buying them by the basket and
then divide them according to your re-
quirements.
When they arrive from market wrap
the least ripe in tissue paper placing
them in a cool, dark place. Grade the
remainder and use them daily according
to their state of ripeness. You will be
surprised to find how fast the basket
will disappear and how the meat and
fish bill will decrease in size.
Examples of using little meat and fish
are shown in the recipes for the stuffed
tomatoes and the Lucullus lobster while
the frozen tomato bouion, which may
be novelty to many housekeepers, is
as delicious as it is easy to make
The breakfast menus for Tuesday,
Wednesday and Friday are extremely
simple and on these days, the luncheon
is a heartler meal. Service for onry
three persons is planned for the mid
day meal, and this fact must be borne
in mind in marketing.

HOT AND COLD COMFORTS
FOR THE SICK AND
THE WELL
VACUUM bottle means to most

a VACUUM bottle means to most
~ merely a way of keeping
drink hot or cold for the bed
room, the porch or the motor trip or
other outing, and blessing it is for
these purposes, being especially con-
venent for the sick room.
But now comes the Hotakold Ice Jar,
in which all sorts of semi-solid foods
may be kept cold and fresh for the pic
mic party, or for the invalid without
trip to the refrigerator through the
night. A quart Of cracked ice, or salad,
ice cream or sherbet can be kept for
from four to eight hours in disable
condition. 1t is an ideal contaner for
batter in the small kitchenette which
boasts no refrigerator
This ice jar is a nickel-plated cylin-
drical receptacle with a bale handle and
is fitted with a glass vacuum filler. 1t
is recommended for cold rather than
for hot foods, since the heat retention
properties are not so good.
The Hotakold pitcher is made of nickel
plated metal in regular pitcher shape,
but with glass stopper. Its capacity
is one quart, and under test it showed
excellent heat and cold retention prop
critics. Filled with cold water at tenn.
perature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit the
liquid was only 40 degrees Fahrenheit
four hours later, when one cupful was
used and the pitcher corked again. Eight
hours after the start of the test the
temperature was 43 degrees Fahrenheit.
Repeating the test using boiling water
the temperatures were respectively 1856
and 1877 degrees Fahrenheit four and
eight hours later.
The Hotakod Set No. s12/1S2 consists
OF small pint vacuum jug having a
metal case finished in imitation of ma
hogany, small l0-inch diameter metal
tray, also imitation mahogany finish, and
small etched wine glass The set is
attractive and especially useful for the
guest room or porch. The jug can BE-
used for keeping water or any liquid
either hot or cold as weather conditions
and taste may dictate
A pint Of cold water Temperature 81
degrees Fahrenheit) was al degrees
Fahrenheit four hours later when one
half Of the quantity was used, and upon
opening again eight hours after the be-
ginning Of the test the temperature was
81 degrees Fahrenheit Thus through
the eight hours the water was kept cold
enough for refreshing drink at uny
time, With hot beverages the results
we're even better, as boiling water was

TESTED RECIPES
French Tomatoes

Place ripe, smooth tomatoes of uni
form size in saucepan and cover with
boiling sailed water. When the skins
crack and the vegetables can be pierced
with fork lift them out with a skim
mer. Drain we'll and lay each on crisp
slice of buttered toast in deep saucer.
With sharp knife score the top in the
rka, a tiny pinch of ground spices, a
bit of sugar and generous piece Of
butter and set back in hot oven for
three or four minutes.
Stuffed Tomatoes
Choose large, firm tomatoes, not over
ripe. Cut off slice from the stem end
of each, remove a portion of the pulp
and chop finely. Drain and add to the
pulp any of the leftover mackerel (any
cold meat or poultry can be used) faxed
into fine particles and half the quantity
of crushed cracker crumbs Season high
ly with grated onion, salt, minced green
pepper, celery salt and add little
chopped parsley, also tablespoonful of
filing, fill into the tomatoes and arrange
in baking dish. Sprinkle with bread
crumbs mixed with melted cleo; bake.
Frozen Tomato Bouillon
Place in a saucepan one quart of to-
nlatOeS cut lHlO small pieces, d Udy ledl,
two or three sprigs of parsley, two small
carrots, half of minced chilli pepper,
one tablespoonful of brown sugar, few
celery seed, salt to taste, and half tea
spoonful of whole mixed spices tied in a
cheesecloth bag. Barely cover with cold
water and simmer for half an hour.
Strain through a fine sieve; add cupful
of boiling water in which has been dis
solved boullon cube or quarter Of
easpoonful of beef extract. Cool and
freeze slowly as for sherbet

delicate way of cooking eggs over hot
water could be devised.
The working parts of a chatting dish
are usually a water pan, blazer or food
pan and a cover, with the heating ap-
paratus suitably mounted beneath.
In the Tribune Institute laboratory
two Manning Bowman cnafing dishes, of
the same size and capacity, were tested
at the same time, one being electrically
heated while the other has an alcohol
burner. One quart of water was heat
ed to boiling in each. With the electric
it required Is minutes and cost, with
current 10 cents per kilowatt hour, Z
cents, while the alcohol burner took IL
minutes st cost of II cents with al
cohol selling for S1.2O per gallon. Under
normal price conditions the alcohol OPP
Grafton would have cost only about hail
as much as the electric. The electric
chatting dish can lay claim to convent
ence. cleanliness, lack of odor and safety
as its leading virtues
Another test was made in these two
chating dishes. Equal quantities of
creamed salmon were prepared, using
the same amount of ingredients in each
test. In the alcohol chatting dish it re-
CURED three minutes to prepare the
white sauce and within five minutes the
food was ready to serve, while in the
electric chatting dish the time required
for making the white sauce was five min
utes, and the process took seven min
utes After making the white sauce,
using one cupful Of milk, one table
spoonful each of butter and potato
starch, the faxed boned salmon was add
ed and all brought to the boiling point
One cupful of faxed salmon was used
in each recipe.
The heating unit of the electric chatter
IS 6-inch disk stove, with a concealed
element, and the water pan clamps or
locks to the surface so that close con-
tact IS obtained 1t has three heats and
varying the position of the connection
plug on the three terminals regulates
the heat. This plug is plainly marked
so that one can readily connect for the
heat desired
The other chatting dish model had a
stand for the burner and the utensils.
This burner is designed for use with de-
natured alcohol and burns the gas with
mixture Of air, after printing, produc-
ing blue flame. A simple valve regu-
lates the flame and the heat is odorless
and sootless
In both models the utensils as we'll
as the trimmings are nickel plated.
About a pint of water in the water pan
is sufficient, and after boiling has started
the medium electric heat or turned
down alcohol fame will maintain it.
The two models are attractive in an
pearance, we'll constructed and a desir-
able addition to any household

connection with the midnight supper,
