BROWNING

To make browning, simply
nut a cup, or half a cup. OF
granulated sugar in a skillet,
preferably an iron one, and stir
until it turns quite black. Do
not mind the smoke; it will not
hurt. When the browning is
very dark remove from the fire
and add. very Slowly, rs much
boiling water as YOU had sugar.
For instance, one cup OF sugar
will require one cup OF water.
DO not be alarmed at the re-
suit; it will bubble and boil. as
the hot sugar is hotter than
the boiling water, and the
sugar will harden Immediately
Either return to fire and let
the sugar dissolve, or set 1t
aside and forget it for a few
hours and when YOU so back to
it YOU will find dark liquid
which YOU can use to color
soups and gravies a lovely
brown. Bottle ii and 1t Will
keep as long as you want 1t.

Flies Easily EradiCated;
But Bed-Bugs Often
Are Problem

Successful warfare against
household pests is largely a
matter of prevention, but in
older houses, and particularly
in apartments and flats, with
their frequent changes of ten
ants, some radical means o: ex.
termination is often impera-
tive.
The ideal insecticide, of
course, is that which brings
death to the pests but is harm
less. or at least, not dangerous
to human beings. Where there
are young children a prepare.
ton Of this, nature is a practi-
cal necessity, for poisonous
powders or liquids may not be,
spread about in any degree of
safety.
That commonest, most men,
acing of insects, the fly, hap

known as pyrethrum flowers.

two to warrant the additional
labor. But use one or the
other. Never pour coffee into
a pot and then boil it in water.
Percolaters may be bought at
trifling cost and the Fren2h
drip process requires no more
expensive equipment than a
supply Of little muslin bags that
any woman can make from
waste materials. Either process
will assure good drinking
coffee from a brand of fair
quality.
Coffee Is Healthful.
There has been considerable
anti-coffee propaganda of late
years and many people have
been needlessly alarmed, some
times voluntarily deprived Of
their favorite beverage through
exaggerated warnings against
caffeine" The consensus Of
medical opinion is that the
small amount of caffeine in
properly prepared coffee works
no injury to the human body
except in diseased conditions,
known to every physician and
quite manifest to the patient.
Coffee is "a good thing.
Taken in moderation it can be
a mild, helpful sedative or slim
ulant. And that taken in
moderation" applies to virtually
everything that nature has
given us.

EATING ICE CREAM
A HEALTH HABIT

From luxury to necessity, or,
perhaps we should say, from
dessert to staple food, has been
the progress of ice cream in the
dietary of the American people.
1t began as a summer time
dessert with out-Of-SeaSon APP
pearances only at parties, So
Gals and other formal or infor-
NAL gatherings. Gradually it
began to intrude itself upon our
menus all the year round.
Finally, it came to be regarded
not merely as dainty but as
a wholesome, healthful, nourish-
ing food. And now it has gained
listing in the rank of staples
and threatens to vie with bread
and butter and potatoes as an
everyday food.
Investigation, analysis, ex'
perimentation and then educa-
tion-that has been the logical
route pursued in the populariz.
ing of ice cream. The doctors
of pharmacy and the doctors OF
medicine have studied and in
.dorsed it, enterprising manufac-
turers and retailers have broad
casted the professional impri.
matur and public intelligence
made receptive by appetite, has
registered unanimous approval
Whole milk (Which. Of course.
includes the cream, sugar.
fruits, or flavoring extracts
there you have the basic con.
stituents of ice cream; an en-
semble found to be nourishing,
energizing and easily digested;
the qualifying points of an ideal
food. Add to this a degree OF
pa!atability that renders it not
only acceptable but heartily
welcome at any time, and ice
cream as a national habit is
readily understood.
Infancy, adolescence, matur.
ity; middle age and old age
ice cream runs the gamut OF
human existence from first to
second childhood as the food par
excellence, the dish preferred.

mild objection-compared with
the flies themselves.
Probably the most annoying
and repulsive of household
pests is the so-called bed-bug
and, in combating this enemy
of sleep and peace, we are
forced to employ preparations
of a toxic or highly volatile
character: most Of them unsafe

cautions must be taken in it's
handling. Kerosene has it's

Gus in careless hands.
Cleanliness First Aid.
Scrupulous clear illness
through the old-fashioned me-
dunn of soap and water, UNI
tagging attention and the use
of the many advertised prod
ucts will usually rout out and
keep away the pests. The
more powerful poisons are only
indicated where worn wooden
beds or dilapidated woodwork
In the rooms have provided
breeding places of long occupa-
ton.
The safest and surest
methods. where bed-bugs, fleas
or reaches are too strongly in
trenched for dislodgement by
these methods is the resort to
fumigation. Stop up" all win
dows and doors with rags or
paper. light your sulphar can
dies and abandon the place for
twenty-four hours.
But before turning to this
drastic, inconvenient plan, see
what a generous application of
elbow grease plus the excellent
insecticides on the market will
do for you.
