scrap Of sausage, bacon, ham or
lamb fat ever leaves my kitchen.
Bacon and ham fat are not entirely
satisfactory when cooked in the
usual way, as the fat is somewhat
burned. Try baking it in the oven,
placing It in rack on pan 80 that
the drippings will not interfere with
the cooking. or placing it under the
oroiler. Cook sausage in a similar
manner. The fat secured in this
way Is as clear as amber.
Dried vegetables, like navy and
lima beans, are delicious when
cooked with these fats instead Of the
customary salt pork. Remember
never to combine the savory and the
bland fats lest the flavor penetrate
tho food in an undesirable manner.

protects the drain and is easily
emptied into the larger can; it
stands in the white sink without do
ing any damage because it is so
heavily galvanized that it does not
rust, as we proved by leaving it
standing in the sink in water for
forty-eight hours. It's capacity is
five quarts, it's dimensions are ~
inches in height, 7s inches in di-
ameter and it's weight about two
pounds when empty.
The particular feature of the pail
which makes it so superior to the
usual open pan or tray, both as to
sanitation and appearance, is the
tightly fitting cover with a perforat-
ed section extending over one-quarter
OF the circumference and containing
thirty-eight small holes through
which liquid may be drained and
permit more sanitary handling of
the residue. The cover fits so
tightly that even when filed and
tilted the water may be drained off
without holding the top on.

W. Wn,n,s.,ma hear much a..aa*,'a. about the ne
sour milk-how the Tactic
acid it contains combats intestinal
putrefaction and generally promotes
wellbeing.
Much, however, depends upon the
condition of the milk when it is
used. 1t should be evenly thick
ened throughout. Any suggestion
of separation or mold on top marks
it unfit for use. Pasteurized milk
may "spoil" before it sours. Taken
at just the right moment of the
soured stage it is most wholesome
and may be utilized in making some
of the most palatable dishes known
to culinary art. For instance:
Countryside Cake
Cream together one-half cupful of
sugar and half cupful of any pre-
ferred shortening; then add the
beaten yolks of three eggs and beat
again until very light. Stir in one
cupful of blackberry or raspberry
jam, one teaspoonful of baking
soda, dissolved in four tablespoons
full of soured milk and one and q
half cupsful of flour, sifted with
one teaspoonful of ground CHINA
mon and half a grated nutmeg.
Add the stiffly whipped egg whites
last of all and bake in two layer
cake tins. Put together when cold
with boiled frosting.

manner and with the same gorgeous dis

of the court, the princes, the dukes, the

THE MAN WHO STICKS

The man who sticks has this lesson
learned
Success doesn't come by chance it's
earned
By pounding away; for good hard knocks
Will make STEPPING stones of the stumbling
blocks.
He knows in his heart that he cannot fail !;
That no i'll fortune can make him quail
While his will is strong and his courage
high,
For he's always good for another try.
He doesn't expect by single stride
To jump to the front; he is satisfied
To do ev'ry day his level best,
He doesn't believe he's held down by the
It's work, and not favor, that "gets
across"
So his motto is this: "What another man
Has been able to handle, l surely can."
For the man who sticks has the sense to see
He can make himself what he wants to be,
If he'll off with his coat and pitch
right in
Why, the man who sticks can't help but
win! Charles X. Barrett.

THE JOURNEY HOME

Years an years ago. when
Was just little lad,
An after school hours used to work
Around the farm with dad,
used to be so wearied out
When eventide was come,
That 1 got kinder anxious-like
About the journey home;
But dad, he used to lead the way,
An once in while turn round an say
So cheerin'- like, so tender."Come!
Come on, my son, you're nearly home!"
That alters used to help me some,
An so l followed father home.
Pm old an gray an feeble now,
An trimbly at the knee,
But life seems just the same today
AS then it seemed to me;
For l am still so wearied out
When eventide is come,
An still get kinder anxious-like
About the journey home.
But still my Father leads the way,
An once in a while hear Him say,
So cheerin'-like, so tender-"Come!
Come on, My son, you're nearly home"
An same as then, that helps me some,
An so I'm followin' Father home.
