Can You Make Good Ice Crehm9
When making ice cream 1t is best
to heat the cream before mixing
with the sugar Good ice cream may
be made with the raw article, but
the quality is improved when the
cream is heated. Cooking gives body
TO the cream and also makes a
smoother and richer Favored food.
However, the cream should never be
allowed to come TO the boiling point.
Food increases in bulk when being
frozen, therefore the freezer should
never be filled more than about three
fourths full, When sweetening the
cream 1t must be remembered that
some of the sweetness seems to freeze
cut and il must therefore taste lit
tie sweeter before freezing than
would be desirable in the finished
r oduct The following frozen dam
ties may appeal to the house-keeper
these hot days.
Chocolate Sour Cream.-One quart
of milk, two cups sugar, two eggs,
chocolate two teaspoons vanilla and
pinch of salt. Mix the sugar and
flour thoroughly. Break the eggs i'm
mixed Melt the chocolate and beat
1t in. Heat the milk and stir II into
the mixtures. Cook five minutes.
Beat until cold. Just before freezing
add the vanilla and one pint of thick
Date Ice Cream.-One quart milk.
one pint cream, two cups sugar, juice
of one lemon, juice one orange, one
pound seeded and chopped dates and
pinch of salt Heat the milk and
cream and add the sugar and dates.
Let cool and add other ingredients.
Freeze.
Nut and Ralsln Cream-One quart
whole milk, one pint thick cream,
three cups sugar, one cup ground
pecans, one cup ground raisins, one
teaspoon vanilla or rose water and
a pinch of salt. Puff raisins and nuts
through the meat chopper, using the
fine knife. Mix them with the heated
milk, cream and sugar. Freeze.
Burnt Almond Ice Cream.-One
pint hot milk. four eggs, one cup
sugar, one cup thick cream whipped
to stiff froth, one cup almonds
chopped fine and Drowned In two tab
lespoons caramelized sugar and pound
ed fine, half teaspoon almond extract.
one teaspoon vanilla and a pinch of
salt Heat milk and pour over the
beaten egg youlks, add other ingred-
tents except egg whites, cook five
minutes, add beaten whites, cool and

bined with the sugar and other In
gradients The result will be a rich
er and more economical cream.

Gently prepared some interesting figures

the state made its first contribution to
the university in 1867" he writes. 1T
has spent in all a total of SIS, 000,000
upon the university for all purposes
whatsoever. This represents sum
about four times the cost of the state
capitol and less than one-third of the
federal taxes collected from the state
of Wisconsin during 1919-1920. Be
tween $4,000 and 100000 different stu
dents have been in attendance at the
university for longer or shorter
periods. This year about 1900 are en-
rolled for the regular two-semester
courses at Madison, over $500 attend

were present at the various short
courses and over $4,000 are enrolled
in correspondence courses.

Women as Health Officers.

In the common failure of many
Wisconsin cities, villages and towns to
find competent men for the post of
health officer or members of local
health boards, the state board of
health sees excellent reason for sug-
costing the service of women in such
capacities. The refusal of an APP
pointed health officer to quality or
serve is frequent occurrence, due
usually to the small compensation or
plain indifference. These difficulties
are noted with special application to
the small communities, and 1t is TO
their problems in this regard that the
remedy. Women, the department be-
lieye, are keenly interested in health
and community concerns, and some
are to be found in every community
to whom proper health administration
appeals strongly. Among them may
be chosen appointees who undoubted-
~ would perform the functions of
health officer or member of a health
board with a true appreciation of their
duties for the public protection. Local
boards of health usually are composed
of three members. That one of these,
at least, should be qualified woman
is held not only consistent but wise
public policy as a means of bringing
woman's influence to bear for the en-
forcement of public health laws and
stricter accountability of all persons
and interests to the demands of a
good healthy administration. At pres
ent there are half dozen woman
health officers. Oshkosh, one of the
largest cities, has had a full-time
woman official for several years.
