WAYS FOR UTILIZING
LEFTOVER CEREALS
Housekeeper Can Make Good
Use of All Remnants.
Splendid for Making Scalloped Dishes,
SouffIes and Omeletes, in Making
Mullins and in Various 9th
er Ways.

What can be done with the cupful
of cooked cereal left from breakfast?
The economical housekeeper dislikes
to throw it out, but how can she use
it so that her family will like its Sec
ond appearance at the family board?
The following solutions of the prob
lem are offered by the home economics
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Remnants of cereal breakfast foods
may often be utilized In making seal
Hoped dishes, souffies, and omelets, in
thickening soups or gravies, in max
ing mullins and griddle cakes, and in
many other ways. Also they can
sometimes be reheated or thinned and
added to q new supply. The practice
of frying the left-Overs of boiled hOm-
my or of cOrnmeal mush is as old as
the settlement of this country, and
the nursery song about the bag pud-
ding the queen did make" from King
Arthur's barley meal shows us that
for centuries other cereal puddings

Their salty crispness makes them an
enjoyable addition to the luncheon or

potatoes at home. Their food value

Of last years large potato crop.
Not all potatoes make good chips,
say food specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture, and
the excellence of the finished product
depends on the materials used and the
care exercised in their preparation.
New potatoes in the spring or early
summer do not make good chips. They
should not be used before the skin
sets. A waxy or soggy potato is not
good chip material Select a variety
that becomes mealy when baked or
boiled.
Round Potatoes Are Best.
Although the size and shape of the
potato do not affect its cooking quail
ity, they do influence the quantity and
appearance of the chips. Round po-
tatoes are better than long ones, as

SPLENDID DISH FOR SUPPER
Combination Of Eggs and Cheese Is
Recommended by Department OF
Agriculture.

The combination of eggs and cheese
makes a hearty dish suitable for sup
per. dinner or lunch. The following
recipe is recommended by the expert
mental kitchen of the United States
Department of Agriculture:
4 eggs stale bread crumbs
cup, or ounces, = teaspoon salt
grated cheese A few grains of
/ cup of fine, soft Cayenne pepper
Break the eggs into buttered bak-
ing dish or into ramekins and cook
in a hot oven until they begin to turn
white around the edge. Cover with the
mixture of crumbs, cheese and season
ings. Brown in a very hot oven. In
preparing this dish it is essential thai
the oven be very hot or the egg will be
too much cooked by the time tht
cheese is brown. To avoid this, some
cooks cover the eggs with white sauce
before adding crumbs.
The food value of the dish is yer.
close to that of a pound of beef o
average composition. For those VIII
are particularly fond of cheese, tn
amount of cheese In this recipe ma.
be very much increased, thus making
much more nourishing dish; or tn
amount may be reduced so as to Civ
| hardly more than suggestion of tn
| flavor of cheese.

THE WOMAN'S CLUB

IT HE importance for the business
l. or professional woman of be-
longing to a club is real one. Wom-
ems work both in business and the
professions is still i'm fluid condition.
Changes are in progress, new stand
ards are being established, and the
effect of the vote is being felt. To
get the benefit of these changes. a
woman needs to know what is being
done in her special neighborhOod and
by her group of workers. There is no
better way of doing this than by join
ing club. especially club affiliated
with the Federation of Business and
Professional Women's clubs.
1t is not only the direct contact
with other women working in your
own field that benefits you in such
club. but the contact with women
in other branches. With that comes a
widening of opportunity. The woman
not happy in her work can often find
another opening through her club &C.
! quaintances and club activities. She
is constantly aware of what is going
on, and she sees what is being done
by other women. Together with them
she can direct her effort TO putting
through proposed schemes for better.
/ ing the standing Of women earners.
/ A good business club for women Is
an asset to any community If there
is no such club in your community
start one. Get the other women to
gether. get in touch with the feder
alton, and start your club. 1t viii bs

condition, i. e., light-colored and free

Peel large, smooth Irish potatoes, re-
moving all eyes and diseased spots.
Slice as described above. Soak slices
in cold water for at least an hour,
changing the water frequently until it
is entirely free from starch. Where
running water is available, letting
cold water run over the chips for an
hour is preferable to soaking in stand
ing water. Heat a high-grade of veg
etable cooking oil to a little below
smoking point (210 degrees c, or 40
degrees +, If you have a thermome-
teri.
Slices Should Be Dried.
The kettle should not be much more
than half full of oil, otherwise the
water on the potatoes will sputter and
boil over when dropped into the hot
fat. The moisture on the slices must

ably the temperature of the fat.
| Therefore shake the soaked slices as
! dry as possible. When making chips
in small quantities. 1t is possible to
partially dry the slices between towels
before placing them in the basket and
lowering into the oil. Do not cook
too many at time, or they will curl
into little balls. Stir constantly. They
will cook quickly, the time required
varying with the size of the kettle and
the quantity of the oil and potatoes
used. Three to five minutes is a good
average.
When the chips are light COLDER
brown, raise the basket, drain off the
surplus oil and empty them on clear
brown paper. Sprinkle lightly will
salt. If fresh sweet oil is used ant
care is taken to store the chips in
COOL dry, clean place, they SHOULD

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
s"DuN."

r IKE boycott" Jazz" "bun-
IL combe" and a number OF
other words which are now ac-
knowledged members of the
English lamily, dun" had Its
origin In a man of that name-a
certain John Dun, VINO was con-
stable In England during the
early part of the last century.
!. Dun, as might be supposed,
was past master of his profess
sion, a successful collector of
debts. No job was too hard for
him to tackle, no debtors too
callous for him to prick their
conscience or shame them into
payment in one way or another,
One of the constable's pet
schemes was to call upon II
debtor twice, and ON each of his
first two visits he would wear
his ordinary clothes. Then. if
the debtor still refused TO pay
and there was no doubt that OBJ
legation should be met, Dun
would adopt the stratagem of
dressing In some outlandish cos
etume-a scarlet cloak or a pair
of green tights-so as to make
himself as conspicuous as pos
sible. Thus attired and ringing
a bell In order further to pro-
claim the reason for his visit, he
would return. and IL was seldom
that the debtor withstood more
than one of these public an
nouncements of his delinquency.
Because Constable Dun was
so successful in the collection
OF money due 1t became common
In such cases to say. You'll
have to send Dun for your mon
ey" or you'll have to Dun him
to get it," and the expression
persisted long after the con-
stable himself was dead and for
gotten.
