All the above menus are very
easily prepared and once the house
wife learns to use this service sue
cessfully she will, like the Great
Northern Railroad, see the economy
of it, for when the food is pre-
pared and served from the kitchen
right on the service plate, it spells
economy. For you know that it is
from the platter service known
as the Blue Plate Special of the
Great Northern Railroad that the
cafeteria sprung.
How to prepare some of the re-
cipes:
Minute Ham Steak
Have a slice of ham cut one inch
thick and trimmed and scored nicely.
Broil in the hot gas oven for twelve
minutes, turning frequently. Re-
move, place on platter and spread
with a little butter. Now cut into
portions about two inches wide, in
long slanting cut. Lift on the platter
and cover with sauce. Place large
spoonful of creamed potatoes and
then some of the braised cabbage
and then the lettuce. The platter is
now ready to serve. Now to help out
this meal serve either a fruit cock
tail, canapes or relishes. To make
the fruit cocktail place two cups of
crushed fruit in a saucepan and add

My dear Mrs. Wilson - Last

My dear Mrs. Wilson-Will you
kindly tell me how to care for a
gas cooking stove? What,to do to
prevent the top from getting
rusty? l have been advised to
clean all the fixtures and burners
by boiling them in water and lye,
which seems to take off the grease.
then clean the entire stove with
spirits of turpentine. / find this
troublesome, and in few days the
gas jets become rusty. / would
appreciate your advice. A nice
clean stove adds so much to the

what l will, / don't seem to have
the top anything but rusty look
ing. Have been advised against
backing it. Hoping. you can help
me out as you have with your
splendid recipes. E. V. c.
Do not use turpentine around
stoves, it is dangerous.
After cleaning the gas range, rub
1t with cloth dipped in little salad
oil and then rub dry with wooler
cloth. Rub it each day with this
cloth and the rarge will not become
rusty.
MY dear Mrs. Wilson - Kindly

The cause of the cake being over
