pared without soaking, cook in
water to cover for twenty min

The pressure cooker provides an
excellent means of cooking cereals,
because it quickly softens the cellu-
lose and shortens the long cooking
process. Although it is possible to
cook cereals directly in the bottom
of the cooker. we have found it
easier and more convenient to
cook them in a separate pan. The
first steps in preparing cereal for
cooking in the pressure cooker are
the same as for boiling cereal. The
water should be boiling when the

Some Novel Uses
for Paper
Getting Service From 9
Common Commodity

In the summer days the house
keeper welcomes every short cut
and substitute that will tighten her
household tasks. When paper
goods are suggested, however, she
usually connects them with picnics
and parties. But here at the insti-
tute we have found so many other
practical uses for them in every day
housekeeping that we are convinced
that they hold a place on the List
Of time-and- labor-savers
We know from actual experience
that our first suggestion is a prize
idea. On our kitchen cabinet IN
the corner. near where the canisters
stand, we keep a package OF tissue
paper. When we have cake tins to
grease, we use sheet or two; when
we spill something on the floor, our
first thought is the paper and when
something cooks over the stove, we
reach for the paper.
Perhaps next in order in the
kitchen is waxed or parafffned pa
per. This we use for covering food
to be put in the refrigerator, Tor
covering buildings or fruit cakss to
be steamed for putting np lunches,
and sometimes for lining cake tins.
For the housekeeper who has diff
ficulty in keeping her juicy pies
from leaking. there is paper seal
ing tape which can be purchased
for the purpose, which we nave
found very helpful. 1t must De
nnoistened and wrapped around the
outside rim of the pie and in this
way seals the seam
Old newspapers have multiple
uses. Lining the garbage pail
with newspaper makes the clean
ing Of it very much more agreeable.
Before you do it, however, be sure
that there are no municipal re.
strictions in regard to this in your
community, for in certain locali-
ties, depending upon the way the
municipality disposes Of it's garbage,
there is very strict ruling against
it.
Most people think of paper
plates, doi1ies, and napkins as used
only for picnics. Here is an idea
which we think is so good that we
want to pass it on to you: Did
you know that you could save
your sick friends lot of trouble
and worry when sending them deli
cacies by using paper plates and
napkins? Often it is the mother
who is i'll, and it is worry to hei
to think of the care and return OF
expensive china, silver and linen
| 1t is so much kinder to use raper.

Of curtain material you purchased
two years ago. Would you have
any record other than a mental
one? 1t is quite obvious thai a
filing system saves time that
would be spent in hunting for i'm
portant data, Tut the primary
function of such a system for the
housekeeper is to relieve mental
strain. A household filing system
must be simple; the simpler you
make it, the more useful it will De.
The card catalogue is perhaps
the easiest way of keeping records.
Either a wooden box or a paste
board box with lined cards Of the
4X6-inch size. or 3x5-inch size, may
be used. COlored guide cards with
tabs for headings or subjects. and

also advised

A simple way you always can;
For | have found l do not need
His lengthy history to read,
His wealth l do not need to see,
Examine all his pedigree.
No, when l want to know the kind
Of man he is; want to find
His worth, his wisdom, and the way
He lives his life from day to day,
l do not ask his neighbors, nor
With any microscope explore
His past career; no, all l do
Is let him talk an hour or two;
The while we visit, ride or walk,
l let him just go on and talk.
A man as lots of things may pose,
But there's test that always shows
The man he is, test that tells,
No matter what he says or sells,
No matter what it is he claims,
In spite of clothes, in spite of names.
If dark his soul or clean his heart,
One test will tear the veil apart
And tell mankind the man he is
In spite of anything of his.

Missionary Visits

Missionary Visits
Mrs. D. A. Austin, Baptist Mission
airy of Albuquerque. N. M, spent
two weeks in Phoenix visiting her
son, William Austin and his wife,
and in doing missionary work. Mrs.
Austin is a pleasing and convincing
speaker and her talks to the Mis-
sionary ladies and people of Phoenix
were indeed interesting and inspir-
ing. This was Mrs. Austin's second
visit to Phoenix since she has been
engaged in missionary work, her first
visit being made two years ago.
She was quite successful in her
work here and it is hoped that she
will return soon. Mrs. Austin left
Phoenix for Blythe, Calf, for brief
visit with her mother. She will re-
turn to Albuquerque soon.
