Using Gelat1ne q
Gelatine is q very satisfactory
material to use for stiffening
fruit juices or milk so they may
be nodded and turned out in an
attractive form. There are sever
al prepared commercial gelattnes
which come sweetened and flavor
ed, and need only the addition Of
hot liquid to make. This Is q
great help to the housekeeper and
is usually cheap.
These commercial gelatlnes
may be varied and the firms max.
ing them will send a book OF rec
ipes upon request.
For instance, a lemon prepared
gelatine may be combined with
Ncut-up fruit and stiffly beaten
whites OF eggs or cream, added as
the Jelly begins to set. The choc-
olate flavor is much better when
dissolved in hot milk INSTEAD Of
water. '@hh'Senk q
One Of the most acceptable des-
serts for a hot day is one which
Is frozen and It may be a mousse,
sheFbet or ice cream. The mousse
may be easily made by packing
sweetened and favored cream in
a vacuum freezer and allowing It
to stand three or four hours.
The Ice cream and sherbet are
made in the usual way by turn

en- mixtures in glass with fruit
or chocolate sauce and one has

Everyone likes, and, we might
say needs, some sweet at the end
of dinner or luncheon. These
sweets we call desserts.
Too often they mean heavy
puddings or rich pies but instead
may be very simple serving of
fruit, canned or fresh. with a
sweet cookie or waiter to accom-
pany 1t.
In hot weather avoid rich des-
serts and plan to serve many Of
them cold. There is nothing bet

Insult rings in the ears of
SALLY DAWSON, orphan en-
ployed in the establishment OF
the newly rich
MRS. STANLEY. Insults, humil-
iation and heartless references
to her social position have scar
ed the soul Of the woe-begone
little maid. She leaves the

scorned her-everyone with the

-Four hundred pounds Of water is
taken out of the soil to produce one
pound of dry Russian thistles. For
every ton of dry matter grown these
thirsty weeds, which push their roots
down from four to six feet into the
soil, suck up 100000 gallons OF good
wet water that should be making

branches and countless leaves multi

which are being conducted throughout

The realization Of the damage these
weeds do is the first step toward their
eradication and TURNER'S everywhere
are working to devise new and better
means Of destroying them. Many have
found that implements which they have
long considered essential for summer
following are ineffective and, In some
cases, are actually Injurious.
For instance, the disk, which has
'ong been the standby of many farm
ers, is not advisable as a summer TIL
age instrument on most soils. Ii kills
few of the weeds and by cultivation
makes nice healthy weeds out Of the
rest. Also 1t leaves a loose dust on
