By STELLA LIzABETH DELAND.

Now that the weather il getting
cooler the family fare must be altered
to suit. During the hot days
81 summer nature thins the blood
and therefore comparatively light
meals supply ample fuel for the
body. With the first cold spell,
however, VIE begin to shiver. This
Is the first indication that the house
wife needs must increase the food
value Of her meals. With this IN
mind, the following recipes tested
on the electric range are given.
Vegetable Soup
Drowned Beef
Boiled Potatoes and Spinach
Cream Puffs
Coffee
This dinner may also be. cooked In
the electric fireless cooker. The
cream puffs may be baked after
| the other food 10 removed by keep
! ing the electricity on full force
until the cooker becomes hot ana
then the puffs baked while the rest
Of the dinner il being served.
Vegetable Soup.
always buy beef from the shank
because 1t is specially rich and
tender enough to use as an entree.
Plenty Of soup green's are necessary
X rich soup Il desired. For three
and a half pounds Of meat / buy a
generous amount OF greens, an
etra bunch OF carrots anu three
| good sized onions. TO this also add
/ two or three potatoes, and II I
| have It a couple Of Wiited lettuce
1 leaves Perhaps the only relic Of
| grandmother day In my house Is
q good old iron pot which continue
to use for pot roasts, stewB and
4 soups even on my electric range.
It heats a little slower than an
! aluminium kettle but once heated
It retains the heat much longer.
I wash the meat and bones, put
them in the pot and cover with
Il water, allowing about d quart Of
water to each pound Of meat. Then
] clean and cut up the greens, peel
the onion and potatoes which cut
into small cubes and add these to
the meat and season 1t all with q
tablespoon OF salt. q teaepoonful
OF pepper and az much paprilEa.
This done / put my soup kettle
over q heater unit Of my electric
range and keep the heat at high
until the soup comes to a boil.
III continue It at this heat for fif.
teen or twenty minues. Mean.
j while heat the oven OF my range
and when that han reached about
400 degrees remove the pot I'd
the oven and continue boiling the
soup one hour with electricity set
at medium" heat. After this
switch Il to slow and let the soup
simmer for two hours more. Az
the end Of this time / remove the
meat and add to the SOUP q table.
spoonful Of finely chopped parsley
and half cup OF rice and re.
turn 1t to the oven. bring II to q
boil at high" heat and then ]
switch It off entirely and let the
lrice finish boiling by the stored
heat.
Browning the Beef.
i The meat / brown in a skillet
over high" heat on the heater
i unit making certain every bit OF
1t IL thoroughly Drowned before
removing 1t to the platter. Then
Il serve with Veloute sauce which
IL made from two tablespoonfuls OF
butter, the same amount of flour,
one cup Of soup stock, a quarter
teaspoonful Of salt and half OF
that Of both pepper and papriIxa,
You can pour the sauce over the
meat or serve separately in gravy
boat.
AS I have often suggested before
the vegetables should be boiled in
the electric oven whenever IL ii
heated for other purposes, and 1t Il
even more economical to do lhis
when more than one vegetable ii
cooked.
Melt a half cupful Of butter in
q cupful Of hot water. While this
Is boiling beat into it a cupfill Of
flour, and when It is thoroughly
smooth remove from the range t.
cool. After it has cooled stir into II
three. eggs, one at q time, without
beating, and when this il thor
oughly mied drop the dough into
well-sreased tins quickly and bake
for twenty-five minutes in a mod
crate oven. The cream filling fol
the puffs il made of a half pint
Of milk, an egg, three tablespoon
fuls Of sugar and two large tea
spoonfuls of flour. Boil for about
five minutes over q heater unit AZ
medium" heat and flavor with
vanilla. To ill the puffs, cut n
half, or remove the top.
Make your coffee at the table
In an electric .percolator allowing
tablespoonful Of coffee to each
cup Of water.
