What Is in These Cans of
Sweetened Condensed Milk

the. plain evaporated milks discussed
in the Institute pages last week.
But, on the other hand, 1t gives
them certain specialized uses and
conven1ences In cooking that the
otheg nu1lks do not have.
Cam Saves Money and Trouble
The sugar present is both money
and q trouble saver when fur
nished already dissolved in the milk
for custards, ice cream and candy
making. And the distinctive flavor
Of condensed milk and the destruc-
tion Of vitamine value are of no
moment when it is used for cooking,
as the flavor is masked entirely and
the vitarnine value Of the milk prob
ably would be destroyed by the heat
ing Of the cooking operations in any
case. 1t is to the advantage Of
every housekeeper to learn to use
these two kinds Of canned milks to
the best advantage.
The work done in the Institute
kitchen in cooking with the con-
densed milks offers not only some
recipes very interesting in them
selves and in their use Of the con-
densed milk with sugar, but also Ia
suggestive Of a wide possibility of
adaptations Of recipes to the use of
this convenient milk and sugar COM

high In front and 81 inches clear
ance Is needed in the rear for the
wringeP. The tub is seen to be high
set (1s inches from the floor(, az
fordinR ample clearance for sanitary
cleaning. In front is shown the
drain, with it's threaded stopper,
which emptied the tub in 2a
minutes OF the twelve gallons of
water necessary to fill it to the
waterline marked on the outside.
1t is important to use the right
amount Of water, and the glass sight
hole shown near the waterline
enables one to make sure of this
point.
The Proof Is i'm the Washing
In making the practical test nine
pounds Of soiled clothes were soaked
overnight and put through the
wringer into the twelve gallons Of
hot water (180 degrees F. in the
tub, to which a pint of soap solution,
made with one-half bar of white
soap, had been added. In fifteen
minutes the clothes were perfectly
clean, on careful inspection, after
rinsing In warm water. It took less
than four minutes to wiring out the
charge. At the end of this eight
cen minutes Of operation the water
had cooled to only 155 degrees, a.
good working temperature.
We all know that a greasy, dis
colored dish towel is the washwom-
ans pet aversion. 1t means wear
ing work on knuckles and cloth to
clean it. Six pounds of very badly
soiled dish towels were put into the
cylinder. These were not clean at
the end of fifteen minutes when in
spected, but were we'll washed in
twenty-five minutes. The mass Of
suds formed bore testimony to the
thorough stirring Of the water and
clothes.

too, sugar was tabooed. One cupful
Of milk was diluted with one part
water and added to three well
beaten eggs and one teaspoonful Of
vanilla. To half Of the mixture one
fourth cupful of coconut was added
while the other half was left plain.
The custards were placed in a pan
of hot water and baked in very
slow oven (an electric portable one,
by the way). No criticism could pos
sibly be made Of these puddings in
any way. They were plenty sweet
enough (even the plain one without
the coconut) to disguise even the
canned milk favor, and the texture
was exceptionally good.

Let it boil slowly, stirring it just
enough to keep it from sticking to
the bottom Of the pan. You may
test it in either Of two ways:
when it makes soft ball if dropped
IN cold water, or when it reaches
the temperature OF 234 degrees F.

2.25 cents an hour, with motor, tub
and wringer going all the time. The
washing easily could be done in an
hour or less for a family Of four
or six, and the wringer, which costs
alone 1.5 cents, would run only part
of the time, say fifteen minutes.
These figures are on the basis Of
10-cent electricity. With the local
7-cent rate the cost Tor power to do

operated.

The idea that one can go OFF and

however, among women the growing
conviction that they may be able
to get the men to do what little

(probably true, too), with the natu-
raj interest any man has in q

fair exchange for some of the jobs
women have taken from the men Of
late.
But whoever handles the machine,
