ASPIC SALADS HELP
USE UP LEFTOVERS
Plan Outlined to Utilize Sur
plus Meat and Vegetables.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.l
A good way to use meat and vegeta-
BILE leftovers is to incorporate them in
firm unsweetened jellies made from
meat stock or well-seasoned and
favored vegetable water stiffened with
jelly which need not be accompanied
by salad dressing unless one wishes.
When there is not enough Quicken left
over to make regular chicken and eel
cry salad, chicken aspic is still pos
sible if there is broth available, and
perhaps a few tablespoonfuls of
cooked peas, carrots, celery or beets.
This aspic jelly would not be an equiv
alent in food value for the ordinary
chicken salad, but it would have its
place in a meal at which other foods
were served. Beef or veal stock is
good in making jellied meat for salad.
Tomato-ielly salad is well known.
Beets are good in spiced jelly made
with water favored with vinegar or
lemon. To make one of these savory
jellies a little less than a quart of
liquid-stock or water-is used with
one envelope or ounce of gelatin; the
seasoning with salt, pepper, bayleaf,
or vinegar, is matter of family taste.
When the jelly needs to be firm to in
close q. good deal of solid material it
is we'll to reduce the amount of liquid.
All such jellieS must be made some
time in advance of the meal at which
they are to be served, and set in a
cool place to stiffen. The fact that
they can be prepared beforehand is
sometimes convenience. Salads
made of these savory jellies, thor
oughly chilled, are especially accept
able for lunch or supper in hot wealth
er when hearty" dishes do not tempt
the appetite.

Baked Pears Are Equally
as Delicious as Apples

Baked pears are not so familiar as
baked apples to many people, but are
equally good, says the United States
Department of Agriculture. The pears
may be pared If desired, but many
people prefer the flavor when the
skins are not removed. Halve or quar-
ter the pears and remove the core.
Cook in a small amount of water for
ten minutes; add strip or sugar and
bake until tender. A few whole spices
or small piece of ginger root give
additional flavor If desired.

cracks or seams in which dirt or
heterogeneous may lodge and that
can be thoroughly washed and aired
before fresh supplies are stored in it
is in many cases preferable. Label
ing food containers plainly saves time
when preparing meals and helps to
prevent the wasteful and sometimes
harmful accidents that happen when
one material is mistaken for another
The food containers used in the re-
frigerator should be convenient in
size, washable, as light in weight as
possible so that undue quantities of
ice will not be melted in cooling them
to the temperature of the refrigerator,
and fitted with covers to prevent the
food from drying out and the escape
or absorption of odors. In fact, all
foods and food materials that are to
be used without washing, such as
butter, cheese. or sugar, should be
wrapped or kept in covered recepta-
cles, whether stored in the refrigera-
tor or in the pantry, cellar, or any
other place.

A new Farmers Bulletin, 1874, en-
titled Care of Food in the Home"

Department of Agriculture. 1t points
out, in connection with the proper
storage of good, that success depends
not only on good storeroom or pan

keeping foods cool, but also on the

foods prevents much deterioration
and waste. AS a general thing each
food Is best kept in its own closed
container. Dry foods may be stored
in glass, earthenware, metal, wooden,
or specially treated cardboard or pa
per containers, depending on how
carefully they must be protected from
air, light and vermin. For moist and
watery foods the choice of containers
is more limited, for not only must
leakage be prevented, but the effect
of acids or some metals must be con-
sidered. A container that has no

Ironing Board at Right Height.

Have clean, well-kept irons. A
smooth clean iron makes for good re-
suits.
Wash clothes frequently and before
they become too soiled. 1t saves your
strength and the clothes.
Save ironing by choosing simple
clothing and linen. Many articles, in
Guiding crepe, seersucker. and knitted
garments, may be pulled into shape
instead of being ironed.
Remember that strong soap hardens
and shrinks woolens, yellows white
silks, and removes color in colored
materials. Rubbing wears all fabrics,
hardens woolens, gives silks a rough
and wavy look, and Injuries color. Sun

LESSENING DRUDGERY
IN HOME LAUNDRY
Suggestions Make Washing
and Ironing Easier.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The United States Department of
Agriculture makes the following sug-
gestions for ,essening the drudgery of
washing and ironing:
Stand erect. Have tubs and ironing
board at comfortable heights.
Use portable tubs. Fill through a
piece of hose attached to the faucet or
pump. Empty through n hole cut in
bottom or in side near bottom.
Use a washing machine. if possible.
1t saves rubbing. A good hand ma
chine may be obtained at small cost.
Use smooth, well-made dashboard.
A Jagged dashboard tears the clothes.
Use a wringer. 1t presses out the
water without straining the fbers.

quent use Is recommended by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. 1t may be used successfully in
custards, ice creams, and many other
desserts.
To make,caramel f1avoring place one
cupful of sugar In an iron saucepan.
Heat it until well Drowned, stirring
constantly even after the dish has
been taken from the fire and until the
danger of burning in the hot dish is
past. Before the mixture hardens add
one-fourth cupful of hot water and
cook the mixture until it is about the
consistency of thick sirup. Bottle and

Bake until well-heated through and
serve hot.
Meat and Potato Pie.-Moisten two
cupfuls of cold minced mutton or beef
with canned soup, and season well be-
fore putting into a creased baking

mashed potato, seasoned with melted
butter and warm milk. Cover the meat

white of an egg and return to the oven
to brown.
Nodded Rice.-When putting away
the leftover rice of today, press 1t
while warm into a buttered mold.
When ready to prepare the meal, turn
1t out carefully on a pie plate and set
into the oven. When it is heated
through, butter well and return to the
oven to brown; butter again and
sprinkle with grated cheese and re.

gins to melt Serve hot.
Cheese Custard.-Place slices of but
tered bread in a baking dish in layers,
using enough bread to supply the fam
fly, sprinkling each buttered slice gen.
erously with finely-minced or grated
cheese-the rich kind which will not
become stringy when heated. Pour
over a pint of milk to which two
beaten eggs have been added, salt and
cayenne to taste for seasoning. Bake
in moderate oven until the custard
Is set. Serve hot from the dish in
which it was baked. This is a good
way to use leftover slices of bread.
