cleaner, of which the Aromita is typical,
which consists simply of a metal plate,
to be placed in boiling water with
stated proportion of washing or baking
soda and salt. The silver to be cleaned
is immersed in the water, but some
part of every piece must come in con-
tact with the plate, and preferably the
pieces should also touch each other. AS
if by magic the tarnish disappears unless
it is very heavy, and it is only neces-
sary to rinse the pieces and wipe them
off to complete the job.
The explanation of this household
magic is merely that the metals in the
plate when brought in contact with the
salt and soda solution cause the water
(HsO) to break up into oxygen and hy-
drogen, and the tarnish, which is a sui
phur compound, is attracted to the hy-
drogen and leaves the silver to combine
with it, forming hydrogen sulphide,
which passes OFF as a gas, making the
bubbles noted in the water. The silver
is not attacked, there being nothing
present that acts upon the metal itself.

How to Crate a Lemon

TIME grating of a lemon is most SIM
pie operation and it may seem that
every one must know how to do it,
but this is far from being true, as many
cases of curdled custards and sauces can
easily testify. The object of using grated
rind of lemon is to obtain the fragrance
and favor, which differ greatly from
any extracts, however good. Now, the
whole of the oil which contains this
fragrance is at the surface-is, in fact,
the yellow portion of the rind; therefore
this, and only this, must be removed
with the crater. The white part under
meath IL bitter and causes milk or cream
to curdlc, bat it contains no part Of the
lemon favor. Yet when lemon flavor Is
called for the lemon is often grated down
right to the pulp In parts while the yell
low Eind is left on thin patches.

By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

<<"OING like hot cakes is
r slang expression that rests
on sound foundation of fact.
1t is true that hot breads, whether pam
cakes. waffies, mullins or the delightful
''riz" rolls that every Homecoming SOL
dier and sailor is craving, cannot be
highly recommended for those with deli
cate digestions; but if rightly made,
without suspicion of grease or heavi-
ness, they may be safely used in moder-
alton by every one.
In mixing the various batters for
these hot breads the greatest difficulty
that the inexperienced housewife finds
is that the mixture "lumps." Nearly al
ways this is because all the liquid IS
added first and then the flour. The right
way, however, is to have the given guam
tity of flour ready and add the COM
bined liquids by degrees, as stiff batter
will never "lump" and when smooth it
can be easily thinned as desired.
An aluminium griddle or an old-fash-
ioned "soapstone" variety cannot be
too strongly recommended for frying
all griddle cakes, as either can be kept
clean and smooth with rubbing of dry
salt. If the housewife will always
remember to put in shortening of some
kind with the batter no greasing of
the griddle will be required, nor will
there be any disagreeable smoke or odor
while cooking.
When making wafies, it is suggested
that the melted shortening be applied to
the iron with small, flat paint brush
kept expressly for that purpose, for in
this way every crevice may be thorough
ly CREASED without any excess of fat.

Maple Nut Frosting

1 cupful crushed 1-6 teaspoonful lem
maple sugar on juice
n tablespoonsful 13 teaspoonful va
molasses nilla extract
4 cupful cold water u cupful chopped
/ egg white nut meats
lie teaspoonful salt
Cook together maple sugar, molasses
and water, until the mixture will nearly
hold its shape when tried in cold water.
Pour slowly onto the stifiy beaten whites
of eggs and cook the whole over hot
water until it begins to granulate around
the sides of the pan. Remove from the
fire, beat until of the right consistency
to spread and add salt, lemon juice,
vanilla extract and nut meats.--M. j. s.,
New York City.
The maple nut frosting is truly de-

piece This means that it takes this
length of time for the iron to drop to
$50 to 2SO degrees, minimum ironing
temperatures.
Disseminating the iron cuts down the
electric bill and prevents danger Of
scorching. Since the iron uses 515 watts
an hour, the operating expense is a
little over s cents an hour, when the
rate is 10 cents kilowatt hour. Saving
third of every hour would therefore be
we'll worth while The cord is easily
detachable, the perfectly smooth plug
pulling out readily from the end of the
iron without even the pressure of but
ton, thus leaving the housekceper no
excuse for making the mistake Of turn
New-York tribune., 1919-03-16
Fruits Of Experience

A lemon should be grated evenly, be-
ginning at the end and working round it,
using as small a surface Of the crater
as possible to prevent waste. The habit
of turning the lemon as you CRATE comes
as easily as to turn an apple under the
knife when peeling. Generally twice
across the crater and back between each
turn will remove all the essential oil,
but while guarding against grating too
deeply care must be taken to remove the
whole of the yellow surface. A we'll
grated lemon should be exactly of the
same shape as before grating; no deep
scores into the pith and an oily looking
surface. j. w. w., New York.

An Electric Irons Good Points

An electric iron is convenience any
time, but it is lifesaver in hot weather,
doing away with the necessity of keep
ing the gas or the coal fire burning, and
saving heat. The special points about
the American Beauty Electric Iron arc
it's sharp point for the smooth ironing
of "fulness" and fine small pieces; its
excellent construction and it's weight of
six pounds, which is a good average both
for convenience and efficiency.
The base of the iron measures 3M
inches by 6h. 1t is made of nickel
plated steel, with black ebonized wood

protect from injury the table or board
on which it stands.

The "Dry" Lunch Plus Thermos
Bottle

TIME two lunch kits shown in the IL
lustration wipe out the two stand
ing objections to the carried
luncheon, and make them most desirable
for the school child, the worker or the
picknicker. First, the case has fairly
distinguished appearance. One would
never suspect it of harboring mere food
and drink, and, secondly, the very eff
cient thermos bottle concealed in the
curved cover takes off the curse of dry
ness and makes possible either hot
soup or hot drink of coffee, tea or
chocolate. In summer time the thermos
is equally accommodating about keep
ing the tea, coffee, lemonade or fruit
punch cold.
Two of these lunch kits are pictured.

In baking on griddles, the degree of
heat should be greatest when the batter
is first poured on, after which it can
be reduced and the cakes cooked thor
oughly. An underdone cake is second
only in failure to scorched one. If the
cake or waf1es do not brown readily,
add teaspoonful of molasses and note
the improvement.
A very good mock honey is made in
this way: Boil two cupsful of granulated
sugar for about six minutes. Do not
stir while cooking, and wash down the
sides of the saucepan as in making
fondant. Remove from the fire, stir in
four tablespoonsful of strained honey
and serve cold. Another good combina-
tion to use with griddle cakes and
waffles is a mixture of powdered sugar
and ground cinnamon.
The Baptist cakes are merely tiny
pieces of bread or roll dough (made with
yeast), pinched off and made into tiny
forms the size of lead pencil. They
are allowed to rise until double in size,
and then are fried like doughnuts.
In making the Maryland beaten bis
cults, use no leavening agent, mix with
one pint of sifted -four, half a teaspoon
full Of salt, and rub in with the finger
tips tablespoonful Of shortening. Add
about half a cupful of mixed milk and
this dough on a strong block and beat
steadily with a weighted mallet for
twenty minutes. When the dough is
we'll blistered roll out, cut in thin bis
cults, prick with fork and bake for
twenty minutes.

TO Remove That Flat Taste From
Boiled Water

Many housekeepers boil their drink
ing water in order to avoid diseases.
The family often demurs at it's use, ow-
ing to the "fiat taste" it acquires. This,
however, can be overcome by placing the
cooled water in large fruit jar, ad-
shaking rapidly until tho water is full
OF bubbles. This aerates it and it loses
Its insipid flavor.
