Possibilities EUen in Calls Head

ITO THE housewife whose purse
refuses at times to meet the
strain of constantly advancing
prices, let me recommend the &C.
casional purchase Of a Calls head.
There are so many good, economical
dishes to be made from this portion
of the animal, and yet compare
lively few housekeepers take advan-
tage of it.
A whole head may be purchased
for from SO to rs cents, according
to locality and quality. The brains
alone, which are often served as a
breakfast or luncheon dish, sell for
25 to 35 cents, and the tongue for
quite as much. The balance of the
head may be regarded, then, as cost
ing nothing at all. though from it
one may have thick and a clear
mock turtle soup; hot dish and a
delicious entree. Many a dainty dish
served in hotel comes from this
economical source.
When selecting Calls head land
it may be necessary to order it in
advance) be sure that you get a
large, fat one. Have the butcher
split the head and remove the I'M
edible portions; do not permit him
to skin it, but merely to scrape the
hair from it.
When it arrives in your kitchen
remove the tongue and brains and
place them in weak solution of
vinegar or lemon juice and water.
Remove the membrane from the
nasal passages, and rinse the head
well IN salt and water; then scrub
it thoroughly and rinse again. Now
place 1t in large pot, cover with
at least six quarts Of water and
bring slowly to the boiling point.

T IS undoubtedly true that it Is hard
to improve on sliced peaches and

cream as late summer dessert, but
perfect fruit, fully ripened, is not al
ways obtainable, and the adaptable
housewife should know how to utilize the
smaller, cheaper fruits that frequently
have an equally delicious flavor.
The easiest way to peel peaches is to
lower half a dozen or more in wire
basket into saucepan of water brought
to the boiling point. Let stand for two
minutes, drain and start the skin at the
stem end with silver knife Frequent
ly the whole skin can be slipped off with
out particle of waste Chill the fruit
before slicing. All peach skins should
be covered we'll with cold water, few
of the cracked pits added, cooked for
about thirty minutes and then strained
with pressure. Reheat the liquid, sweeten
to taste and can for use in making sauce,
jelly or peach sherbet. A peach sauce
with batter or cottage pudding is deli
cious and the cost is only that of the
sugar. Seal the syrup as for canned
fruit
The peanut butter and cucumber sand
wiches served for Tuesdays luncheon
are somewhat Of a novelty. Spread thin
slices of white or brown bread with pea
nut butter and use as filling two slices
of crisp cucumber, one of white onion
and a tablespoonful of shredded lettuce.

fruit, immense it in boiling water

fruit in strainer and rinse with

If a piquant sauce is liked, add to
the gravy one or two sour pickles

The meat from the other half of
the head should be cut in neat
pieces and half laid aside for an
.entree; the rest will be added
to the soup and should be made into
small dice.
For the clear soup nothing will
be required but some additional
boiling and seasoning. A table

Of mace and little more salt and
pepper, If necessary, will suffice.
The thick soup should be boiled

Clean the calf's head and put it
