For The Homemakerr's Eye
Some Uses for Bacon Fat

Some housewives are finding
that bacon fat, has other uses than
being consigned to the can of soap
grease, even though saving fats
for soap is a commendable practice
today. Every drop Of bacon should
be used in cooking. For brown
ing potatoes or other foodstuffs it
is excellent; in making white
sauces it is unsurpassed, and po-
tatoes creamed with bacon instead
OF other butter substitutes have a
havor that cannot but delight. In
making a black chocolate or spice
cake use bacon fat for shortening,
and substitute molasses for half
the amount of sugar the recipe

the milk is already curdled omit
the rennet.) Then turn into a
coarse bag and let it drip. Set in
a pantry of even temperature and
leave it alone until it has drained
dry. 1t may take six or seven
hours, but do not touch it mean
while. When the curd is solid slip
it out upon a clean board and chop
fine. Have ready a perfectly clean
paper or wooden box and butter it
we'll before pressing the curd down
hard within it. If you have a small
pudding dish which you can spare
use it as a mold instead of the box.
Press down hard, lay plate upon
the top with a weight upon it and
set in a cold place. If you mean to
keep it for several days set in the
refrigerator. 1t is now ready to
use.

A Praiseworthy Bill

One of the most meritorious
bills that has been introduced at
this session of the General Assem-
bly,, and which at this writing ap-
pears practically certain of being
passed in the form it was introduce
ed, is Senator Robertson's bill to
increase the salaries of the Chief
Justice, Chancellor and Associate
Judges of Delaware. The justice
of this bill is so apparent to every
fairminded person, that it is un-
necessary to lay further emphasis
upon it. It is a matter of satisfac-
tion to the average citizen, how
ever, that the increases are to be
made in time to permit the present
State judiciary to benefit thereby,
for the Chief Justice, Chancellor
and Associate Judges who are
serving this State at the present
time are exceptionally able men,
who represent the highest type of
legal ability Delaware has ever
produced, and it is but fitting that
they should receive this recogni-
tion of their services. The present
State judiciary has raised the
standard of the Delaware bench to
it's highest plane, and they should
long ago have been better COM
pensated for their faithful work.
We will not say that we hope the
Legislature will pass this bill, for
we know it is going to be passed,
but we will express our opinion
that the enaction Of the measure
will stand out as one of the most
praiseworthy accomplishments of
the 1919 General Assembly.-Dela-
ware State News.

To Remove Grease From Broth

Make sure that there is not a
drop of grease in broth sent to an
invalid. If there is, cool the soup
until the grease hardens and re-
move it in a cake. If there is no
time, remove the grease by putting
a fiat piece of ice in the soup, TAX
ing it quickly out with a couple of
forks and removing the grease that
hardens about it. This operation
should be repeated until there is
no grease left.

To Make Cottage Cheese

Eevery housekeeper ought to
know how to make cottage cheese.
It is not at all hard to make it. To
a quart of unskimmed sweet milk
allow a pinch of salt and a full
teaspoonful of liquid rennet. This
may be bought from any druggist.
Take care to get that which is not
favored with essence of any kind.
Stir the rennet into the milk and
let it stand, with a bit of mosquito
netting over it to exclude dust and
insects, until it is quite firm. Qt

New Uses for Cottage Cheese

Dried apricots, peaches or
plums, when fully soaked, are de-
icious in a salad. These are served
uncooked. If stuffed with cottage
cheese they make a dish fit to be
served on any occasion. Canned
pineapple combined with cottage
cheese, dates stoned and filled
with cheese, a slice of apple with
small ball of cheese on the CEN
ter, bananas and chopped nuts are
good combinations which are pop
ular and the material for them is
available all the year in most To-
calities.

Mix Soda With Flour

Housewives who have been un-
fortunate in their use of baking
soda will have no further difficulty
if they take the precaution of fol-
lowing this rule: Allow one-half
teaspoonful of soda to each cup of
sour milk and then add half as
much baking powder. Sift the dry
ingredients with the flour instead
of stirring the soda into the milk.

Remedies for Sleeplessness

Try one of two very simple but
effective remedies for that kind of
sleeplessness which comes from
overwork or nervous exhaustion.
Have the feet very warm, and put
them against a rubber bag filled
with very hot water. A rubber bag
is better than an earthen bottle, as
it will retain the heat for hours.
Or discard the pillow turn over
and lie on the stomach, with hands
clasped under the forehead to lift
the head a trife. This will often
send one to sleep.

Leftover Salad

Take a cupful of poultry bits,
picked from the bones, add one
half cupful of celery cut fine and
one-half cupful of mayonnaise

pickles will improve the salad. If
the meat is coarsely chopped and
mixed with the dressing and sea-
sonings it may be nodded in cups
and chilled. After two or three
hours unmold and serve on letture.

To Clean Jewe.ry

For cleaning jewelry there is
nothing better than ammonia and
water. If very dull or dirty, rub
a little soap on soft brush and
brush them in this wash, rinse in
cold water, dry first in an old
handkerchief, and then rub with
buck or chamois skin. Their fresh
ness and brilliancy when thus
cleaned can not be surpassed by
any compound used by jewellers.

Hallowed Spots

Instead of riding as the Ameri-
can staff officer had suggested, I
asked to be allowed to walk. There
were here to me too many hallowed
spots the sacredness of which no
travelling companion could have
understood.
| lived again our long and silent
night marches through the mea-
dows and through the forest, fol-
lowing trails unknown to the
enemy. The regular roads were
kept almost constantly under ar
tillery fire.
Now the sign posts indicating
danger or giving directions were
no longer in French but in Eng
IiSh; the sentries, here and there
detailed for police work, were clad
in khaki; our friends the Ameri-
cans had come.
I thought of a dozen incidents,
some grave, others comical, that
had happened on our way 10 the
trenches; amusing scenes or jokes,
the authors of which had long
since paid the full price. I was not

many residents of Newark heard
on the occasion of his address be-
fore the Win-the-Wa circumference
in Wilmington on July 10, has re-
Gently returned to France and has
written to friends here of his visit
to Argonne Forest. 1t will be re-
membered that when the war broke
out he was studying at Harvard
university for his doctors degree.
He went at once to France and
made application for chaplain
ship. There were no vacancies, so
he enlisted as private soldier. He
fought in the trenches for three
years.
At the first battle of the Marne,
then a sergeant, all of his superior
officers were killed and he led his
company through three days of
terrible fighting, when the COM
manding general made him a cap
tain. He fought also at Verdun,
being of the 1,500 survivors Of the
5000 heroes who made the last
stand at the outer forts.
Captain Perigord was wounded
several times and decorated five
times for conspicuous bravery.
About a year ago the French gov
ernment sent him to the United
States as a machine gunnery in
structor. Later he travelled through
this country lecturing in about 800
cities and towns. He has recently
returned to France.
He writes as follows:
I made pilgrimage recently to
the celebrated forest of Argonne,
which has been watered with some
of the best blood of America and
of France during this great war.
I say pilgrimage because so
many of my friends sleep there;
either in little groups in the mill
tary cemetery in the valley or sim
gle on one of the mossy banks of

PLENTY OF JOBS

From Washington Star of August
18th 1919:
Somebody always is wishing a job
on Jouett Shouse, the new assist
ant secretary of the Treasury, who
has supervision of the War Risk
Bureau.
Many years ago, while student
at Columbia, Mo-, somebody wish
ed a job of doing newspaper cor
from the state uni
versity on him. A few years later
he rounded up at Lexington, KY,
and somebody shouted, "Let's have
a big fair hereW and they gave
the job of running it to Shouse.
Then just when he was settled down
good and had the horses hitting the
track with all four feet his father
in-law out in Kansas decided it
would be a nice thing to have him
come west and help him out with
his banking business. Shouse went
out there in 1912, and scarcely had
he landed in the state when some
body let out a whoop and said,
"Shouse for the legislature" and
the first thing Shouse knew he was
in the legislature down at Topeka.
Then, in turn, the district sent him
off to Congress.
After serving a couple of terms
here and finding that he was run
ming behind in expenses every
month, Shouse packed up his griI
and decided to go back to Kansas
and business. He reckoned no
with Carter Glass, just named Sec
rotary of the Treasury, however

the job of assistant secretary of the
Treasury, handle several million war
risk claims, get cussed by every
one who did not get his or her al
lowance, and besides, accept
measly $4,000 year for his
trouble.
"Not by the ever-swaying bull
rushes that concealed the well
known Moses, will / take that job"
declared Shouse. "Pm going back
to Kansas where the sun shines
brightly, the birds carol all the day,
the reaper reaps the finest wheat
that ever"
"When will you come to work?

of course, when a man would
not take "No" for an answer there
was nothing to do but take the job
so Shouse took it. But some day

THE ZERO MARK IN ARGUMENT

Evidently the congressman oppos-

reached the zero mark and then
gone thirty degrees below, in their

The other day Speaker Gillett,

ordered the blind chaplain of the
house to quit mentioning the League
of Nations in his daily prayers at
the opening of the sessions. Said
the League is controversial sub

form of prayer. Afraid that if

his prayers to those of all the
