Earning Money at Home
by Making Your DUN Soap

In farm butchering there is usually
large quantity Of fat scraps which
would be a loss if not utilized for
making soap. Also, there are the fat
scraps and trimmings from bacons,
hams and all hOme-cured meats,
which can be saved and made into
soap. The fat scraps saved from fall
until spring will amount to consider
able, and with these you will be able
to make enough soap, for all family
needs, to last at least six months.
This would be quite a saving.
An excellent recipe for making a
hard white soap, as good as any com
mercial soap you ever bought, is given
below:
20 pounds of clean melted fat Gree
from salt);
4 quarts of soft water in which are
dissolved
4 18-ounce cans of I've and
heaping tablespoonfuls of pow
dered borax, .....
Let the lye and borax solution
stand until cold. 1t is best to dissolve
the I've the day before you want to
make the soap, as it takes the sOlu-
ton quite some time to COOL The
grease shoulu be just warm enough
to be in liquid state. Add the I've so
luton slowly and stir mixture mod
erately until it reaches the consistency
Of honey. Now pour in cloth-lined box
to harden. When partly hardened cut
in bars but do not remove from box.
Cover with an old rug or blanket and
let stand "a hours, when it may be
removed. If possible, let soap stand
in warm dry place for month be-
fore using. Remember, the longer the
soap ages the better. It is milder and
lasts longer. This recipe will make
you about 100 bars of hard white soap,
worth more than S., and you will get
a great deal of satisfaction out Of
seeing the results of your own handi-
work.

Yes or No?

Is the linden long lived tree?
2. Is white vinegar made Of cider?
3. Does all blueing leave iron rust
stains?
4. Are all parrots vegetarian?
S. Is there any explanation for
the standing position of the fossils
found in sandstone? .
Answers to these questions may
be found
/. Yes. Lindens are said to live
as long as 100 years.
2. No. White vinegar consists of
acetic acid and water. 1t is usually
made by allowing diluted alcohol to
drip over wood shavings. This tends
TO oxidize the alcohol to acetic acid
rapidly.
3. No. The only blueing which
leaves iron rust stains on clothing is
Prussian blue and this does it only
when the soap is not all rinsed out Of
the fabric.
4. No. One parrot, the Kea of
New Zealand, has learned to eat
meat and kills many sheep by perch
ing on their backs and with its sharp
bill tearing out the kidneys.
5. Yes. Animals were frequently
caught in quicksand and were buried
in an upright position. As the water
reccded the sand hardened into stone.

How to Make
Good Toast
BY Hannah Wing

One of the most simple and yet one
of the most satisfying things in all
cookerydom is hot, well-made piece
of toast. Why toast is thought of as
belonging exclusively to the breakfast
menu, and why it is so often served
there as a cold cracking, crumbling
necessity rather than q crisp, tasty,
never-failing delight is one Of the mys-
teries of the table.
Like good steak, well-made toast re-
quires a quick soaring ON both sides to
seal the surface and keep the flavor in.
To have the toast just right, brown
each side of it quickly and only enough
to seal it. Then toast it slowly, turn
ing it often from side to side to keep 1t
from burning until the surface is crisp
and deep golden brown, and the CEN
ter of the slice is tender, giving TO
each slice almost q sandwich effect.
Bread for toasting should be cut
about three-eighths of an inch in
thickness. Toast and zwieback are
two different things, and toast should
not be made to resemble zweiback.
Good zweiback can only be made by
baking, not by toasting. -.
II toast is to be buttered it should
be buttered Immediately and kept hot
by wrapping it in a napkin if it is to
be served from the kitchen. How
ever, the new electric coasters, which
turn the toast and brown it so evenly,
make it possible to have perfect toast,
since it can be made ut the table and
served piping hot. There is a real
pleasure in buttering toast and eating
it just as the butter melts into the
crisp. brown crust. Half slices are
really best to toast. as one half does
not cool while the other half is being
eaten. When made and served at the
table there are many who would not
exchange this hot buttered toast, topped
off with bit of marmalade, for any
of the hot breads tae South is famous
for.
And now that table coasters oil
stoves have made it possible to make
toast easily and quickly, why moi
serve il at other meals? 1t has GER
tain advantages in the way of diges-
ton; it gives our sluggish gums some
exercise and so promotes tooth health.
Many combinations may be served
on hot buttered toast or on dry toast
others are particularly nice in tht
form of that recently discovered and
popular dish, the hot sandwich, which,
by the way, is a good illustration in
favor of toasted over untoasted bread
Toast should be served with fish and
its excellent with soup. 1t has many
possibilities as a garnish as well.
