ready a brick ice-cream mold or
squGre-cornered breadpans lined with
waXed paper. Press the confection well
into the mold and cover with weight.
Let stand in cold place until firm;
remove the paper and cut in slices.
Cottage Cheese Pie.-Take one cup
ful of cottage cheese, two-thirds of
cupful of maple sirup, two-thirds of
cupful of milk, the yolks of two we'll
beaten eggs. two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, a little salt and one-half
tenspoonful of grated nutmeg. Mix in
the order given and bake in one crust.
Cool slightly, cover with a meringue
and brown in a slow oven.
Raisln Paste for Sandwiches.-Take
two cupfuls of raisins, washed, dried
and put through meat grinder; add
one-half cupful of orange juice, two
tnllespoOnfuls of lemon juice, one tea
spoonful of salt, one cupful of ground
nut meats or one-half cupful of peanut

bowl of mush and creamy milk, with
bit of salt Goldfish for an appetizer.
For those of their sturdy and less
practical descendants more palatable
supper to them may be found In the
following suggestions:
Oysters cooked In the chatting dish
are well-liked supper dish. They
may be served as a stew, in a white
sauce on toast, or fried. When fried,
dip them in milk, then in seasoned
crumbs and fry in butter to give them
just the right flavor. Be sure they are
well-cooked through, but not oyerdone
and tough; either condition is most
undesirable.
The salad has now come to have
such an important place in the lunch
| con, dinner or supper menu that no
such meal seems complete unless pro-
vided with some kind of a salad. Even
in the cold climates lettuce may be
found at u reasonable price. If used
| leaf or two of head lettuce lasts
quite q while in a small family. Place
| 1t in an earthen jar with just the mois-
ture left after giving 1t good wash
ing, cover closely and keep in a cool
place; 1t will be crisp and fresh to the
last leaf. Parsley, too, washed and
put into pint or quart jar, sealed and
kept where 1t is cool will keep for two
weeks. 1t may MEDIA dipping into
water once during the time to revive
it, but the moisture keeps it fresh and
green.
If there are little people to have sup
| per with the grownups, drop little
sugar sirup on animal crackers and
press them in the center of salted
wafer in n standing position. They
will soon be firm. The children like
these and they are better for them
than cake, especially of the rich varie-
| ties.
For a simple supper dessert there Is
nothing nicer than sponge cakes with
a dish of canned fruit. These may be
drop cakes, baked in gem pans, or in q
loaf or roll, as ones fancy dictates.
Fried sardines make nice supper
dish drain them from their oil, dip in
lemon juice and saute or fry in deep
fat. Serve with lemon slices garnished
with parsley.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-02-09

where there is fine garden the ten
der young carrots are put up in the
summer for use in the winter; but in
almost any market from this time on
one may buy bunch of fresh carrots
which will serve for several dishes,
thus cutting down on the expense.
Apple Southeastern good, tart ap-
pies as for apple sauce. adding bit of
lemon juice and grated peel. Spread
the stewed apple sauce around the
sides and bottom of a buttered baking
dish. Make q custard of two eggs, a
pint of milk mixed with two table
spoonfuls of cornstarch and One-thlrd
of cupful of sugar; flavor with nut
meg or cinnamon; cook and cool, then
pour carefully into the appe-lined
dish. Beat the whites of two eggs add
two tablespoonfuls of sugar and cover
and serve cold.
Baked Potatoes and Peas.-Allow
one-uuarter of a pound of bacon to
each half-dozen potatoes and pint of
peas. Wash the potatoes and cut into
halves. Scoop out the inside of the po-
tato, leaving cavity. Sprinkle this
cavity with salt and pepper and fill
with seasoned peas. Place bit of ba-
con on top of each, place in pan in
the oven and bake until done. The
peas should be drained of all liquor,
and onion with minced parsley may be
added, If desired.
Apples Stuffed With Raisins and
Nuts.-Core half dozen apples and
remove the peeling of half of each ap-
pie. Put one-half cupful of water in
saucepan; into this set the apples, the
unpeeled part in the water, as this
keeps them from losing their shape.
Turn and baste during the cooking un-
til the apples are tender. Set them
carefully in baking pan and fill the
centers with one-third cupful of ralsIns
and the same of chopped nuts Sprin-
kle them with sugar and bake in
moderate oven until glazed. Serve
with the sirup poured around them.

1t may be a truism to say that the
kitchen Is the housekeeper's workshop.
She spends almost a third of her wax
ing hours in this one room-sometimes
more. 1t should be made just as COM
Portable, attractive and convenient as
means and time permit. Often a
slight Encouragement of the furnish
ings reduces the number of steps to be
taken. Raising a table lowering a
shelf or putting casters on a woodbox
may save the housewife many a back
ache. In Virginia an effort has been
made in number of counties, particu-
larly in Albemarle, Wythe, Prince VIII
liam, Powhatan, Henrico, Mecklenburg
and Goochland counties, to improve
farm kitchens.
Kitchen Improvement Contests.
Extension workers under the direc-
tion of the Virginia Polytechnic insti-
tute and the United States Department
of Agriculture have organized kitchen
Improvement contests in which many
women have competed. Prizes have
been given by interested business
firms, consisting of labor-saving de-
vices of every description, from first
rate stove to a folding step ladder.
The following abbreviated list of
achievements made by these Virginia
housewives is rich in ideas for other
housekeepers. Any woman with en-
ergy and ingenuity could find equally
convenient ways to improve her own
kitchen.
Attention was given TO the walls,
ceilings and floors in almost every case,
before anything else. Worn and
ragged paper was removed, the sur
faces were cleaned, cracks and breaks
were filled, and usually a new finish
of water or oil paint applied. Floors
were gone over with care, cracks filed,
and waterproof varnish put on where
there was old linoleum 1t was frequent
.uly cleaned and vanished to prolong
Pits life.
Many Little Helps.
Window shades were reversed so
that the good end was visible instead
of the cracked and faded end. White
shoe cleaner improved several. Old
long curtains were cut off to make
new sash curtains. One woman bright
ened a dark corner by taclling white
crepe paper with a Dutch landscape
design in blue, behind the glass of the
pot cupboard Another tackled strips
of white oilcloth back of the wash
table and the oil stove to protect the
wall. A third put a strip of oil cloth
on two sides of the room, on which 1t
was convenient to hang saucepans
A great many housekeepers fitted their

Learn to Make Bread

Very nearly 10000 farm girls were
enrolled in 1922 in the bread clubs
conducted by cooperative extension
workers, according to reports TO the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. and they baked during the year
over 415,O00 loaves of bread. In other
words, 10000 girls learned by practice,
last year, what it takes to make a
good loaf of bread and how to
make it.
The Colorado statesman., 1924-02-09

of dishes. A mirror was put in dark
corner to reflect light. A child's shelf
in the kitchen, built the right height
for the child, held a bucket of water,
basin and soap dish; lower shelf
was made for overshoes. Racks for
brooms and mops were made of large
spools held in place by long nails.
It was a feature of the competition
that all improvements should be as in
expensive as possible, and so far as
practicable, utilize materials and fur
nishings already on hand.

onion, minced. Dress with three
tablespoonfuls of tarragon vinegar
and eight of olive oil, one-half tea
spoonful of French mustard and salt
and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with
chopped hard-ccoked egg, capers and
stoned olives.
Uncooked Mlncemeat.-Take two
cupfuls of chopped cooked beef, five
cupfuls of chopped apples three cup
fuls of raisins, one cupful of molasses,
four cupfuls of brown sugar, one cup
full each of vinegar and cider, one cup
full of chopped suet, one tablespoon
full of cinnamon, n tablespoonful of
cloves and n grating of nutmeg. This

In cold place until used. 1t may be

sponge cake in two layer pans. Pre-
pare jelly of gelatin and orange juice
or use the prepared kind, molding 1t in
one of the layer tins. When stiff place
on one layer and cover with another
of cake Frost with orange icing.
Prune Tapioca.-Wash fifteen large
prunes and put to soak overnight.
Take three-fourths Of a cupful of
tapioca and soak in twice the amount
of water. Stone and chop the prunes.
Add enough water to the liquid to
make four and one-half cupfuls. Bring
to boil with the prunes tapioca. one

prepared by tho United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Fresh fish or clam chowder and
oyster stew are good dishes in local
tiles where fresh sea food is album
dant. Dried and salt fish or vegetables
alone may also be used as the flavor
ing in attractive and wholesome
chowders. The ingredients are milk,
whole or skim; a fatty substance,
which is usually salt pork, though
butter may be used; potatoes or
crackers, often both; and in addition
to these one of the following: Fish,
either fresh or salt; green corn, fresh
or canned parsnips, vegetable oysters,
kohl-rabi, or celery. A chowder con-
sisting mainly of milk, potatoes, and
crackers, and favored with little
salt Goldfish is perhaps the most
economical of these dishes. The fol-
lowing recipes have been tested by

culture:
