Affinities for the Cantal0uDe

EVERY one knows that vanilla Ice
cream or frozen custard is at
its best when served in a canta-
loupe. But one need not stop here.
And while we are not enthusiasts
on spending much time on the archi-
tectural and landscape aspects of
food in these servantless days, yet in
times of sickness and of special fes-
tlvlties, or cases Of fastidious appe-
tites, charming service of simple.
less expensive foods will take the
place of elaborate, costly confections,
or serve to tempt one who has no
desire for food. The children do
love to have their food beautified,
and many grown-up children will
look at such dish as the
one photographed and say, ut looks
good enough to eat"
This particular cantaloupe basket
is carrying goodly load of black

each Of powdered cinnamon and
grated nutmeg Let stand on the
ice to chill and ripen for three hours,
then chop the melon finely and mix
with half a pint of chilled double
cream and three tablespoonful of
chopped preserved ginger. Taste to
see if more sugar is required and
turn the mixture into a mold with
water-tight cover. A Mason jar is
convenient for this purpose. Bury
in ice and salt for two hours and
serve before it freezes solid. The
consistency should be like sherbet.
Pear and Nut Salad
Peel and cut in halves ripe Juicy
pears and with a sharp-pointed
spoon remove the seed centers.
Marinate the pears in the ice chest
in a French dressing made with
lemon juice instead of vinegar.
When ready to make the salad fill
the centers (for two pears) with the
following mixture: Mash to a paste

berries, green grapes and vanilla
cream. Picture that in it's natural
colOrs; see how alluring it would
be on a hot night. The cream might
we'll be pineapple ice, or you may
have a pale green pistachio cream
with its delicious burnt almond
flavor that blends so we'll with fresh
fruits-or add red raspberries to the
vanilla cream instead of black
berries.
The handles of the basket have
a unitarian as we'll as an aesthetic
reason for being. For a cantaloupe
would seem to have some automobile
blood in tit does so love to "skid"
when you go around the corners!
Suggestions are in order. One
dollar apiece reward for original,
good-looking, zestful affinities for
the cantaloupe. No freaks need
apply. Address Anne Lewis Pierce,
Director, Tribune Institute.

amount that "heaps" varies with the
weather and the nature of the ma
terial measured.
Third, probably too much -four
is being used. Doughnut dough
should be just as soft as one can
handle it. Pastry flour, which is
made from soft wheat, contains less
gluten and needs to be much less stiff
than when hard winter wheat is
used. Again, this kind of flour packs
down, and unless it Is sifted several
times and put into the cup lightly
and without pressing it will make
more flour than the recipe really
calls for. Four and a half cups,
lightly measured, might be better
than five. Experiment must prove
this.
The temperature usually given for
frying doughnuts is 345 degrees and
kept uniform. If the fat is too cold
the doughnuts will soak fat; if it is
too hot, however, they will brown
before they have risen sufficiently,
and that may be the trouble in this
case. Also, they should only be
turned once.
Last, they should never be put
awaV hot hut whan cold on old
fashioned stone crock should be an
ideal storing place-millions have
been SO stored in New England, and
it still goes on!

Waste OF Woman Power on Farms

NSHE Office of Extension Work,
States Relation Service, of the
Department of Agriculture sent out
q woman, Florence E. Ward, under
whose direction 10,015 farm homes
were surveyed to determine the con-
dition Of women's work. These are
some Of the facts reported:
The working day of the average
farm woman is 11.3 hours in winter
and 1912 hours in summer.
Out of 100 women 81 have no
regular vacation during the year.
Half of the farm women are at
work at o'clock in the morning.
Two hours day leisure is the
average, winter and summer.
SO much for hours Of work. What
wonder that the daughters decide to
get job in a factory or a city office,
with tifty-four-hour week and
amusements and soda fountains at
every corner?
AS to the tools for their work, look
over these facts:
Over half have no water In the
Kitchen, but must carry from spring
or pump all water for kitchen use.
Over three-fourths have kerosene
lamps to fill.
Ninety-six do the family washing
and only about half have washing
machines.
Only one-fourth have electric or
gas irons.
Nearly half Of the farms had
power for the farm machinery, but
less than one-quarter had it for the
home work, simple as the between
houseand-barn connection would
have been.
Ninety-two per cent do all or part
Of the family sewing. No mention
is made of electric sewing machines.
Besides doing their own house
work under these handicaps, Sc per
cent Of the farm women do garden
work, 81 per cent make all or part
of the bread (no bread mixers men
tioned) and 60 per cent do the churn-
ing. Eighty-one per cent of all the
poultry was cared for by women,
one-fourth help to feed and bed the
cattle and spend six weeks a year
in the field.
This is all in addition to cooking
the family meals and bearing and
caring for the children.
The Tribune Institute has always
felt that the promotion Of tested ap-
planes for the home worker. pro-
viding women with adequate tools
and power-driven machinery for

The Sugar We Eat and
The Sugar Shortage

THE Department Of Agriculture
Is urging that we do not throw
away the summer fruits because we
are short Of sugar. There will be
more sugar next winter, they say, and
you can add it to the fruit when YOU
eat it, if only you have not neglected
to catch your fruit and can it.
The word is that we have either
used IL per cent more sugar this
year than ever before, or else we
have boarded it. This in spite of
world shortage and a decrease of
400, 900 pounds in our domestic
crop! We did this by importing 25
per cent more sugar than ever be-
fore. Looks bit piggish, doesn't
1t, when you get it right down in
black and white? The governments
guess is that either people have
eaten more sugar than ever before.
or else housewives and manufacture
ers are boarding it for future use.
AS a nation we need to watch our
sugar consumption. For the past
nifty years we have been steadily
eating more sugar, about a pound
year apiece more, so that we now
average IS pounds to SO apiece a
year, whereas in 1899 we ate only 80
pounds year.
What we get in soft drinks, candy
and ice cream we do not recognize
as sugar, but the body has to han
die it just the same. A nervous,
rushing people, we are apt to eat
sugar as an energizer. It is a stimu-
liant once removed, SO to speak. And
used in excess it may injure the
health quite as much as any other

''Doughnuts Like Rocks"
Editor, Tribune Institute:

Editor, Tribune Institute:
Thanking you for the help your
department has been to me, may
ask for help directly? Doughnuts
made from the recipe below are
splendid-until a few hours after
they are made and then are like
rocks. / have put them away warm,
cold, in waxed paper, in cloth, in
tin and in stone crooks, and thew
are just the same. Will you please
tell me the trouble?
Recipe
Two eggs, one cupful of sugar,
one teaspoonful of ginger, one tea
spoonful of nutmeg, one teaspoonful
of salt, four teaspoonsful Of baking
powder >(heaping), one cupful of
milk, one cooking spoonful of fat,
about five cups of pastry -four; fried
at $50 degrees.-Mrs. E. E. w.,
Middleboro, Mass.
THERE are three or four sugges-
lions that might be made to
meet this difficulty. First, there is
not enough fat used. At least two
and a half level tablespoonful of
butter, oleo or other fat would be
needed to this much -four.
Second, five level teaspoonsful of
baking powder should be sufficient.
We can never standardize recipes
until level measurements are used
instead Of 'heaping" them, as the

How Cooperation
Saved the Pinto Bean

war. 1t Is good eating and might
we'll lower the price Of the proud
and naughty Boston bean if it were
available in the East.)
There are now sixteen warehouses,
with grading and packing machin-
cry, supported by the 1900 members.
The increased earnings did not mean
gouging the consumer; it meant i'm
proving the output, creating wider
markets and having the money 90 to
the grower instead Of to the jobber.
Consumers are slow to cooperate,
but the cooperative marketing prin-
ciple, when legally and soundly con-
Quoted, is one Of the few construc-
tive, cheering tendencies in our
present merchandising muddle.

The Skillful BUYER

Other housewives hesitate to pur-
chase cantaloIpe, owing to past dis
appointments, and say they don't
know how to pick out good melon.
AS a rule, the spicy fragrance of a
cantaloupe and its weight for it's size
are excellent guides in the selection,
and if you are to use it within
twelve hours be sure that the stem
is pliable when gently pressed with
the thumb.
The plugging Of a watermelon
(Which most fruit dealers will do)
shows exactly the quality of the
melon when bought whole, and if
one is only moderately fond of the
fruit half melon can be purchased
which will give ample servings for
four persons. A cut melon should be
covered with paraffin paper and
placed in the ice chest.
Never put cracked ice inside
cantaloupe, for the delicate spicy
flavor is often destroyed by this, but
thoroughly chill both cantaloupe and
watermelon by leaving in the ice
chamber for at least twenty-four
hours.
Pears are another good August
fruit, and from the luscious Bartlett
and "russet" down to the plebeian
stewing and baking varieties they
will be found one Of the most de-
licious as well as one of the most
useful fruits.
Peeled, sliced and diced they COM
bine particularly well with melons,
and like these fruits they can be
used to advantage In the making of
