Household Hints

To prevent milk from separating when added to vegetable soups-as tomato or asparagus soup-heat 1t in q separate vessel. Add to it the thickening and mix 1t with the veg etable material at serving time.
 When whole tomatoes have become soft and wrinkled through keeping place them in a. pan of cold water for an hour or so and they will be- come firm and smooth, as when gath cred.
 When the oven gets too hot, reduce the temperature by placing pan of cold water in the oven.
 The question often arises as to which is the hottest part of the oven Where shell we bake pastry and cake, on the grates or on the floor of the ovsn?" The answer depends largely upon the stove. If it Is a gas stove, they should be baked on the grate and perhaps one burner turned out after the oven has been thor oughly heated. In a coal oven, the greatest heat is near the fire-box and on the floor of the oven, at the op- posite side. The middle of the oven on the Srale, IS the chOfce DAk1nS place for cakes. Meats should go near the frebox, pies away from the 6re-box.
 If preserves "turn," let them come to a boil. skim well, then add sugar and let simmer for a quarter of an hour.
 Sponge cake sometimes has heavy streaks near the bottom when the stove has been jared soon after the l cake has been put in the oven. Or sometimes. a large kettle of cold water, on top of the stove, will cause | trouble by chilling the stove too quickly. This is also true in the case of cakes containing butter.
