 Planked Mackerel.-Purchase q good-sized mackerel, split. Wipe the fish with a damp cloth, then lay it skin down on the heated plank and sprinkle we'll with salt, pepper, and paprika, with dots of butter or margarin over the sur face. Place in hot oven or under a medium broiler flame for fifteen minutes.
 Meanwhile boil eight good-sized potatoes, put them through a potato-ricer, and season, while hot, with salt, pepper and paprika. Add sufficient hot milk to make the mixture not quite so soft as for ordinary mashed potatoes.
 To each quart of the potato add the yolk of one egg. Mix well, and last add the stiffly-beaten whites, of the eggs. Arrange the mashed potato around the fish in mounds, or arrange with a pastry bag and rose tube; ones original ity will come to the rescue here. If desired, whole tomatoes may be cut in lily form and placed at in- tervals around the plank; then a bit of mayonnaise may be placed in the centre of each tomato. Garnish the fish with slices of cucumber which have been mar mated in French dressing.

bT~HERE are wonderful possi-
 bflities in bread-crumbs, and
 & their use Is a practical aid in economical cookery. If the crumbs are dry, they may be rolled or ground, and if placed in jars from which all air is excluded, they will keep indefinitely. Cover the jar with a double piece of cheese cloth held in place by a rubb~r band. If not dried, the stele bread or cake should be crumbled and used at once.
 Cracker crumbs, finely rolled, may be use6 to thicken any soup made with milk. Crowned and sprinkled over a clear soup, crumbs add to appearance and flavor.
 A delicious crumb omelet, may be made by soaking one-half cup ful of stale bread crumbs for fiji teen minutes in one-half cupful of milk. Add four well-beaten eggs, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter In a hot frying pan so that the sides As well as bottom are thor oaghly ereased. Pour in the egg .-4:Gsar~. and cook slowly, shaking

 Next wash the saucepans and roasting pan or broiler. And now is the time to tackle the sauce pan that has been heating with washing soda.

 Rinse out the dishpan and fill again with hot soap water. Let the dishtowels stand in this while the kitchen is tidied and the food put away. Then wash them, rinse quickly and hang them in the air to dry. Finish the dish washing by washing out the sink with hot suds and a mop. We accent the mop, because the water should be too hot for the hand to bear.

 For the silver and china use only a. white neutral soap. For the cooking dishes provide friction powders, soap powders and steel wool.
 You will need a sink strainer to scrape the remnants into, and you will need refrigerator dishes, preferably enamel, to hold the leftovers.
 Clear the dining table and care for leftover food first of all. Never put it away in serving dishes. If you clear the table by courses, dispose of the food from each course as you bring it into the kitchen. Do not place it in the refrigerator, however, until it has cooled.
 Scrape all dishes clean into the sink strainer, pile in as compact space as possible on the table or drainboard farthest away from the

WHITE spots often appear on
 w the table upon which a vase of flowers has been. It is always due to a reaction between water and the varnish in the furniture finish. It can be quickly removed by wiping over with a cloth wrung dry from water into which a little ammonia has been placed, but be sure to finish the operation by rubbing with your dusting cloth impregnated with furniture polish. Remember that the ammonia water takes off the spot! the furniture polish restores the finish.
 Fog" finger marks, etc, are always due to too much furniture polish. In bad cases it is advisable to use very hot water, wiring the cloth dry from it and rub over the piece of furniture quickly; finish your task with a rubbing with the polish impregnated cloth. You will be utterly surprised at the diff ference in the effect. Moreover,

A'Few Tested Methods for Preparing Tasty Broiled
 Meat
 Dishes on
 Plank

A NY meats which you ordi- A narily broil or bake in the
 oven with very little mois- ture may be cooked on a plank. Beefsteak, hamburg steak, veal, | chops, chicken and fish, either sliced or in chunks, suggest only few of the possibilities of planking.
 With gas or an electric range, the planking may be done either far from the broiling flame or in a hot oven. With a coal range, the planking may be done in the oven. To "break in" new plank, rub it we'll with one of the magazines or hardened vegetable fats, then heat it smoking hot by placing it in the oven. After the plank has been used several times, the fat penetrates the wood permanently, and it will not be necessary to oil it so thoroughly.
 The meat or the fish can be placed on the hot plank and broiled on one side until done; this can be accomplished in hot oven equally as we'll as under the broiler. The time of broiling depends upon the thickness of the meat. When one

linen story book and stitch them on the spread, leaving spaces be- tween the various pages. Children will be entertained for an hour at time with this spread.
 A system for teaching. children the general routine of daily duties is rather hard to devise. One way is to take a large sheet of paper and on it paste series of pictures cut from magazines. For instance. the procedure for getting ready for bed may be shown by pictures of children taking off shoes and stock ings, hanging up clothes and wash ing face: The young members of the family who cannot read will understand the pictures, and as a child's power of imitation Is strong he will have no difficulty in follow ing the duties suggested by the illustrations.

To Measure Fat

ACCURATE measurements are "A important if you hope to at tain success as a cook. Per haps fats are harder to measure than any other ingredients. In measuring a solid fat, pack it solidly into a cup or spoon and cut level with the spatula. When a quarter cupful or less of fat is desired, always measure in spoon fuls, allowing four tablespoonfuls to each q1arter cupful. When less thap a cupful of fat is desired, for instance, one-half cupful, fill the measuring cup with one-half cup ful of cold water and then add the fat in small pieces until the water reaches the cupful mark.

very we'll, if of size to be placed on a platter, but silver or nickel Astands may be purchased with the plank. After each using, the plank should be carefully washed in hot, soapy water with the aid of a bit of steel wool.
 For planked ham with broiled potatoes and tomatoes, select slice of ham about one inch thick. Heat and oil the plank as directed above. Place the ham on the plank and broil on the lowest grate of the broiler or in a moderate oven for fifteen minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the cooked side of the ham down on the plank.
 In the meantime pare six good sized potatoes and cut into length wise slices of half-inch thickness. Place these in a colander over hot water or in a steamer and steam for ten minutes. Remove the potatoes and place them around the meat on the plank, having them lap over each other. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over them and place a small piece of margarine or butter in the centre of each slice.
 Cut two large tomatoes in one half inch slices and arrange these

side is nicely broiled, remove the plank and turn the meat with the cooked side down, arrange potatoes and other vegetables around the meat, return to the oven, and com plete the cooking. By the time the meat is broiled, the potatoes will be delicately Drowned, and the other vegetables will be tender and appetizing.
 Having once tried planke1 dishes you will find yourself in- venting new combinations. Plank ing is not a difficult task and the plank transforms the most com monplace food into meals of great attractiveness. Select a plank of a size best fitted to the needs of your family. A plank eleven inches in diameter is best for serving six persons.
 The oaken plank is much to be preferred as no other wood gives the meat so delicious a flavor Correctly made blanks are grooved. These grooves lead to a shallow we'll at one end, where all the rich, savory gravy is collected. The plank without a stand will serve

 too much polish collects, dust and you soon develop gummy black ness in the crevices and corners. Just enough polish means that the surface is so shiny and smooth that dust does not rapidly collect.
 "Bloom" is primarily due to a poor finish in the factory that has been affected by dampness. It can be helped by wiping over the sur face with hot cloth wrung from water with a little ammonia in it. But work quickly on a small sur face at time and finish with the oil-impregnated dust cloth.
 The treatment is exactly similar to that prescribed for the white spots, because it is a trouble that is somewhat allied to it. Tn a nut shell, the care of the furniture and woodwork calls for the use of very little water, a great deal of the old-fashioned "elbow grease" and a very small amount of any furni- ture polish that plea>es you.

 first and lift out as soon as clean with the aid of the dish-mop, plac- ing in the dish-drainer. Next wash the glasses one at time. Dry immediately without further rinsing and while both silver and glasses are almost too hot to touch.
 Next wash cups, saucers, bread and butter plates, etc. The plates and saucers may be placed in pile in the hot, soapy water, washed and removed one at time, but the cups should be handled singly. Never have a mass of dishes in your dishpan.
 Renew the water and soap when ever it cools so that it no longer heats the dishes. For that is the secret of this method. Have the water so hot that the dishes dry with a polish, and have the water so clean that they will not need another rinse.

over the surface of the ham. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and paprika over the tomatoes and place a small piece of margarin or butter in the center of each slice. Return the plank to the broiler or oven and cook for thirty minutes or until the ham is well cooked, the potatoes golden brown, and the toma- toes tender.
 Just before serving, the plank may be garnished with thin strips of green pepper and radishes cut in the shape of lilies.
 Plank Corned Beef Hash Chop the corned beef fine and mix it with twice it's quantity of cold boiled pota- toes, likewise finely chopped. For the small-sized plank, six cupfuls of hash will be suf- ficient. Add one tablespoon full of chopped green pepper, salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.
