What Uncle Sam Demands OF Good Sausage

A SAUSAGE must be made from
just as wholesome and edible
material as any other food product.
1t may be composed of ham trim
mings and beef, just as you would
use the end of the ham ground up
in your own kitchen to mix with
mayonnaise for sandwiches or to
make a meat loaf, but it must be
perfectly fresh, wholesome meat.
Vinegar, sugar, salt, wood smoke,
saltpeter and nitrate Of soda are
permitted, but if benzoate of soda
is used warning must be given on
the label.
The adding of cereal to sausage,
together with excessive amounts of
water which are soaked up by the
same, while not injurious Except
that such sausage may spoil more
quickly, is fraudulent in that water
and cereal should not be sold for the
price of meat Rules have been
made to prevent this.

cereal can be added to sausage I'M
der the law and not more than
per cent of water to facilitate grind
ing, and even these additions must
be declared on the label.
Certain smoked and cooked sau-
sages, to which no cereal has been
added, may contain more than 3 per
cent of added water, but only
enough to make the mixture palat-
able.
The sausages examined all fell
far within these rulings. No starch
was found at all, the sausages were
mixtures of beef and ham, and the
water content was not excessive.
The meats, high as they may seem
at 90 cents a pound, cover all waste
from shrinkage, the heat and bother
Of long cooking and waste from
ends, bone, etc. Figure up, Madam
Housckeeper, what your ham costs

it is at least rs cents pound, max

Of special interest:
The corned beef contained nearly
IT per cent of fat and 26 per cent
Of protein, with 55 per cent of
water; only per cent of salt, q
mere trace Of saltpetcr and no other
personalities. These chemical data
are what would be expected from
a fine corned beef of great delicacy
of flavor and tenderness.
The bacon was hree-fourths
fat and one-fourth lean in the sam
pie examined, Is per cent of water
and 10 per cent of protein, agree
ing in analysis almost exactly with
the figures on record for a medium
fat, smoked bacon. No preserva-
tives of any kind were found.

How the Wringer Works
The wringer, too, bass some special
features: 1t is exceptionally rigid,
which prevents sagging with use
has three-year guaranteed rolls
liz inches long, and center break
safety release which operates more
easily than the side break type. The
wringer swings about the main YER
teal power shaft and locks in four
positions, but its special feature is
that the power cannot be applied
except when it is locked in one of
these positions and so it can never
swing wild.
Its movement is controlled by a
simple, strong, non-rusting lever.
while spring latch is pushed in to
shift the position. The guide boards
project further than is usual, pre-
venting the wet clothes from touch
ing the tub side as they fall. The
entire wrlnger, weighing forty
four and a quarter pounds, is re-
movable, leaving the compact tub
with its fiat cover with no handles
to serve as q table of admirable
height on other days than Monday.
The cover has overlapping f1anges
which make handles unnecessary
for easy removal.

all assembled on one side of the ma

enough to walk!
When it is to be used as sirup
it is best to dilute it with a little
hot water, as it pours much easier
and is better liked when not so thick.
This sirup is very satisfactory as a
sweetening for 1emonades or other
fruit drinks and is very convenient,
as it can be poured into the drink,
whereas when using sugar It is nee
essary to dissolve it.
For ode luxe" preserves, such as
barbecue currants, honey instead
of sugar is often used. In baking
fruits such as apples, pears or ba-
nanas the honey used in place of
sugar gives a most delicious COM
bination of flavors.
Many dishes can be improved by
using honey instead of sugar as the
sweetening agent, but in substi-
tuting it there are a few points
which must be regarded. In the
honeys used in the tests in the In
stitute kitchen it was found that
one-quarter of a teaspoonful of soda
to one half or to ree-fourths cup
full of honey was all that was
necessary. Many recipes using
honey omit baking powder, but in
our opinion better results are OBJ
tanned if the usual amount is used.
Some cooks are of the opinion that
it is necessary to use less honey than
sugar in making cakes, custards,

and about one-fourth of that is
water you really have nearly the
same amount of sweetening as in one
cupful of sugar, which weighs about
eight ounces. You do, however, use
less liquid. This should be reduced
about one-fourth. Besides slightly
changing the flavor, honey also
makes a moister product, which will
for this reason keep much longer
than when the recipe is made from
sugar. Fox this reason the old Euro
pean honey cake can be kept for
years.

Two Pure
Quality Honeys
VIII a t til e Honey B e {
Does to the
Sugar

GRADUATED sugar as it ap-
pears on the market is about
the simplest, purest food product
known, as it is 99.8 per cent sucrose.
Honey is a complex, subtle sweet
compared with sugar, and besides
what the bee does to it, the flavor
and composition vary greatly with
the flowers on which the bees feed.
Food adulteration of a fundamental
SORT was practiced when some am
bilious men went back to first prin-
clples and adulterated honey by
feeding the bees on glucose or cane
syrup. Others, less subtle, put the
glucose and sugar directly into the
honey itself, without involving the
integrity of the bee.
Too much straight sugar (sucrose)
is sign of an adulteratod honey.
for the real product must have not
more than 8 per cent and not more
than % per cent of water. Of sug-
ars that have been "inverted," as
the chemist says ii. G., changed by
the formic acid of the bee into deX-
trose and levulose, two other sugars,
partly digested as compared with
sucrose), there may be 60 per cent
10 gu per cent, with small amounts
OF minerals, formic acid and protein.
Inc water content is reduced by
'he bees evaporating the syrup in
the comb by tanning it with their
wings, and by Analysing samples
Aao"n to be pure we find out what
'ae bees standard of manufacture
and so can tell when man has
auued water thereto. The bees out
put may vary from per cent to 80
per cent, from 16 per cent to 27 per
cent Is a fair average, so the gov
efhment standard is fixed generously
at rs per cent.
The two honeys examined were
genuine, pure, high grade products,
'0n'alnlng only from per cent to 5
YET cent of sucrose, about 81 per
vent OF water, 0.12 per cent and
"io per cent of minerals (when
o-o per cent is permitted) and

For the kltchenette and the bust

the 'eats' that can be made within

ham can be bought already cooked
and in a few moments reheated in
a very little water or milk. Pour
a rich cream sauce with mushrooms
over it, serve with noodles with a
paprika sauce and you have a meal

Of Ready Meats

WITH summer approaching there
comes growing desire to
shift the responsibilities of the
household and make as little heat in
the house as possible What is more
natural than to extend the use of
"ready meats" which have been
carefully prepared and cooked for
immediate use to make the most de-
lectable sandwiches or meat and
salad combinations?
a picnic no longer means hours
Of baking and roasting for mother.
In these days "picnickable" food is
ready on very short notice. The
delicatessen, the meat shop and the
market stand all carry excellent prod
ucts, and considering that there is no
waste and no labor, the prices, high
as they are, are not excessive.
In estimating the cost one must
remember that when you purchase
a siX-pound roast you in reality only
get about four pounds of finished
product due to loss from shrinkage.
Forty cents a pound for six
pounds of raw meat is really about
55 cents for each sixteen ounces
served, and there is, besides, the
waste Of refuse-bones, ends. etc.

just Bacon

Just word on the use of bacon.
Only strip or two here and there
in cookery means zest instead of
"hatness." Though bacon is most
excellent by itself it generously diff
fuses its goodness through other
foods in a rarely delicate manner.
The cost when using such small
amounts is but little, and dish
many times reaches the standard OF
the epicure if the flavor Of bacon is
added. 1t is prime growing" food
and will be good for the children.
In roasting piece Of meat slice
or two Of bacon placed over or
around it adds great deal to the
flavor, and to baked fish such as
bass, pike, trout or whitefsh, if
slice is inserted in the fish by making
an incision somewhere in the body
much more appetizing flavor is Sc
cured. Many vegetables are i'm.
proved by the addition of little
cubed bacon while cooking. When
heating up that can of beans try
laying two or three slices of bacon
across the pan and setting it under
the broiler. Bacon and cheese, Of
course, is always relished, as are
also broiled tomatoes and baqbn, nor
are the corn and bacon combinations
