WATERMELON PICKLE

The height of the watermelon
season is at hand and the proven
bal "killing Of two birds with one
stone' is accomplished when the
watermelon rind is picked or pre-
served. To pickle: pare off the
green part and cut the white into
inch cubes or strips and cover with
boiling water containing small
piece of alum. Let the rinds stand
over night in this liquid. Next day
soak four hours in cold, fresh
water, then cook in boiling water
until tender. Have ready syrup
made of equal parts of vinegar and
sugar. Boil in this syrup 4 or 5
sticks Of cinnamon, 3 sliced lemons,
a dozen whole cloves, and a few
pieces of ginger root. When the
syrup is thick and strongly spiced
drain the melon slices and cook in
the syrup until clear. Take out the
melon, put in Jars, boil down the
syrup until thick, pour over pickle
and seal.

The Garden Will Do
Intensive Work

One planting does not exhaust
the possibilities of the garden. Ac-
cording to recent writer:
"All the ground in the garden
should be kept fully occupied all
the season. AS soon as one crop is
removed something else should take
it's place. It is not always necessary
to wait until the crop is removed.
Late cabbage or sweet corn may be
planted between the rows of early
potatoes some two or three weeks
before the potatoes are harvested.
Some different crop should follow
the first crop occupying the ground,
in order to help in the control of
insects and disease"
The order of planting may be as
follows: Beans, followed by beets
and late potatoes. Late potatoes
should be planted before July Is.
Beets, followed by sweet corn.
Sweet corn should be planted be-
fore July Is.
Cabbage, followed by carrots,
late potatoes, with radishes and let
tuce between rows.
Corn, followed by spinach, cauli-
flower and late peas. Late spinach
should be planted from September
ID to October /; caulifower, not
later than August |; and late peas,
not before September 1.
Cucumbers, followed by turnips.
Lettuce, followed by celery. Gel
cry should be planted in July.
Muskmelon, followed by turnips.
Onion sets, followed by turnips
and celery.
Peas, followed by tomatoes, eel
cry, late cabbage, string and soup
beans. Tomttoes should be planted
before July Is.
Potatoes, followed by spinach.

For The
Homemaker's Eve
LARGE Fowl MORE ECONOMICAL
THAN SMALL ONE

When buying fowl remember
that large one is more economical
to buy than a small one, as the pro-
portion of meat to the bone is great
er. If the fowl is roasted with stuff
fng a four-pound fowl will serve
five. Then the white meat which is
left may be carefully cut to serve
as cold meat or in sandwiches. The
bones are covered with cold water
and simmered on the back part of
the stove a day or two after, and
with rice or barley make most
nourishing soup for two or three.
This soup may be pieced out by
adding milk and egg; the flavor will
make it most appetizing. There
will be small bits of meat that may
be put through the meat chopper
added to two cupfuls Of boiled rice,
a slice of onion fried in fat until
brown a big ripe tomato and baked
for a hot supper dish. This is a
most tasty dish if well and properly
seasoned. Cayenne, salt and pep
per, should be used quite freely.
This surely is enough to expect
from one fowl, yet these are but
suggestive of a few ways to make
meat go as far as possible.

Man Is Weakest When He
Turns Out Of Bed

According to experiments with
the dynamometcr, a man is precise
" at his weakest when he turns out
of bed. His muscular force is
greatly increased by breakfast, but
it attains to it's highest point after
the midday meal. It then sinks for
few hours, rises again toward
evening, but steadily declines from
night to morning. The chief foes
of muscular force are the two ex-
tremes-overwork and idleness.

BTANKETlNG ICE A DELUsION

BLANKETING ICE A DELUsION
The blanketed ice in a refriger-
ator is a Stacker at its post Of duty,
and the person who placed the
blanket there is the cause of it,
specialists in the Department of
Agriculture declare. A refriger-
ator is kept cold by the ice melting
and taking up the heat within the
inuslated walls. When the ice is
kept from melting, ice is saved but
not food.
At times when it is necessary to
wrap the ice to make it last until
the new supply comes, any perish
able food which is to be used with
ont further cooking should be NOV
ed up as close to the ice as possible.
Ordinarily, however, it is better to
keep food in other compartments
in order that the air may circulate
freely.

LITTLE BITS OF HELPFULNEss
If you would have biscuits light
and fluffy be sure always that the
baking powder is well sifted
through the -four, and that the oven
is hot enough.
Add a pinch Of cream of tartar
to the whites of eggs when they are
half beaten. This keeps them from
falling before being used.
A solution of one tablespoonful
Of baking soda to a pint of water
is an excellent wash for keeping the
mouth sweet in sickness.
A delicious salad is made of
bananas cut in slices, dipped in
mayonnaise, rolled in minced nuts
and served on white lettuce heart
leaves.
When a slice or two of bread is
left from a meal. do not put into
the bread box to be forgotten, but
cover over in a dish and use for
toast at the next meal.
When blankets are too short sew
a stout piece Of cloth on one end
and tuck under the mattress.
Serve hard boiled eggs cut in
daisy shapes on crisp lettuce leaves,
with mayonnaise dressing.
A shelf devoted to newspapers
and magazines alone is a distinct

after exposure in shrubbery and

however, a bath has practically no
effect and direct remedies are nee

Spurred on by the welcome, If long

NIL available forces of the federal gov
eminent are devoting themselves to
the task of reducing the cost of liv-
ing, and they are receiving the en-
thusiastic cooperation of state and
municipal bodies and officials all over
the country.
Attorney General Palmer sent out
instructions and authority to confiscate
at once boarded food stocks, and large
quantities of foodstuffs In warehouses
were seized in Chattanooga, Tampa,
Jacksonville, Fla. Fort Sam Houston,
Tex, and other places. In every case,
according to Mr.. Palmer's instructions,

President Horn Of the American Re

The governments fight against the

against the officials of the Central SUI

week or more ago. Henry II. Rolapp,
head Of the sugar distribution COM
mittee Of the food administration, said
the situation was serious as Gamers
and dealers were clamoring In vain
for sugar The railway shopmen's
strike entered into this, as 20,000000
pounds of sugar was delayed in Cali

market.

to curb profteering. and after hard

would operate in cases where COM
