gulf herself in endless petty detail
of more cooking, cleaning, busting.
With little thought, she can put her
entire scheme of household engineer
ing on all efficient basis and let it more
or less run itself. She must accustom
herself to certain hours for certain
tasks; apportion the afternoon for
leisure and the shortest possible time
for preparation of dinner. In this
last her stock of ready prepared foods
plays all important part.
The something different" which
the. clever housewife evolves for her
charming dinners may only be the
same old staples served new way.
Or the unusual dish may only be one
of the prepared dishes pur-
chased in cans which the guests have
not found out for themselves. Pre-
pared chicken a la king, chop suey,
s2me of the colorful spicy Mexican
dishes,-these are a remarkable source
of help to the housewife who is new
to modern culinary art. With little
practice and investigation, she may
make use of the grocer's list of canned
foods, making her own ingenious COM
binations, evolving her own piquant
sauces and favorings.
It is the little extra different touch
that makes a dinner distinctive. A
steak or roast of beef is always good,
but when there is a sauce of tomato
and mushrooms to give it extra piqu-
ancy, how much better it tastes, Yet
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-16

the sauce, when made Of canned to-
mato paste and canned mushrooms,
takes only five minutes to prepare.
The vegetables, indispensable with the
roast, may be the identical vegetables
one has at home, or they may have
something different about them that
makes the guest wonder what power
or charm the hostess has over ordinary
spinach, peas and carrots.
And the secret, likely, is thaf t16
housewife has kept aside a half cnp-
full of her canned soup to favor the
spinach! That she has favored her
soup with the juice Of a can of cher
rieS, and that the 1uecio11s cherry pie
for which she is praised was no work
at ali because she used canned cher
ries and ready pie crust, putting the
two together with just the right
amount of sugar and spice!
Rome wasn't built in day. Neither
does the housewife learn except by
experience how to make her cooking
easier through using ready prepared
foods. After a little study and com
parison of values, she can easily see
that canned foods in addition to saw
ing time, effort, to say nothing of her;
own attractive hands. can be used to
the last bit, eliminating any waste.
And she also can see that their food,
properties are better preserved than

TT was four hundred years ago that
Spanish explorers first found the

They took it back to Europe with
them because they thought it so-beau-
tiful in color. When the tomato
found its way to Holland, the thrifty
Dutch people soon learned that it was
eatable It rapidly became favorite
food. For the last century, the to-
mato has been accepted for what it is,
a valuable staple food, containing
needed vitamins and minerals.
It's value has become especially
known since it has been SO success

The Artistic Housewife is Efficient

THERE are lot of women in the
world (referring particularly to
housewives) to whom the term
good manager" can be applied. We
particularly mean the housewife who
makes a little go long way, who
gets maximum results from minimum
expenditure of effort and money. We
marvel secret1y at their attractive
homes, their unperturbed service of
delicious meals, their snug little even
ing suppers. Knowing the work of
The household is entirely in the hands
Of the hostess, the marvel increases.
Usually the explanation is found in
the best possible application of energy,
the use of shortcuts, s5mplifed meth
DDS. One of the most popular short
cuts with the good manager" is
canned foods, wherein she finds the
foods she would serve ready prepared
and cooked The drudssry is done.
She is not tired and worn out. With
all the preliminaries taken out of her
dinner preparations she is able to hunt
out and make use of unusual delicious
davorings, ingenious combinations and
different recipes. Her attractively ar
ranged table is possible because she
has the time to devote to it
Simply because maids are high
priced, hard to get, addicted to leav-

horizon, there is no need for the
housewife to give up entertaining, or

Combining Vegetables

MTEW favorsl New dishes! How
~ the housewife ycarns for some
. y new guise in which to serve the
old staples On the dinner table! Sta
pies are wanted because they are the
foods-peaS, carrots, tomatoes, corn,
spinach-best for the entire family.
And, fortunately, they are available
all year round i'll canned form.
Mother might draw lesson from
the brightly colored kaleidoscope
with which her youngest, perchance,
arnuses himself on rainy days. He
twists and turns it, throwing the bit
of beautiful bright glass in new de-
signs and combinations. Just SO should
the housewife do with her vegetables.
Shift them, change them about, try
them in new combinations. Perhaps
she has not tried them in combinations
at all. But there is another lesson
from the kaleidoscope. With glass of
all one color it wouldn't be beautiful
1t is the combination of colors that
makes it beautiful. It is the combina-
ton of favors which make vegetables
truly delicious.
Study the foods served by French
cooks who make such extensive use
of vegetables. They serve them in
combinations. One of the most deli
cious of these is mushrooms and peas.
Try them sauted together, a can each.
The water, of course, is poured off,
and the mushrooms and peas heated in
pan of hot bacon fat. Bacon fat is
more economical than butter and adds
its own piquant flavor. Mushrooms

salt and pepper to taste. and enough
cold boiled rice to hold them in
mixture. Fill the peppers with this
mixture, and bake in a dish which
holds enough water to keep the bot
toms of the peppers from scorciling.
A delicious sauce is made by adding
the liquid from the tomato can to the
liquid in the bottom of the baking
dish. Flour should be used for thick
ening.
MOULDED SPINACH ON AR
TICHOKE BOTTOMS-Drain and
chop one can of spinach and season
with butter, salt and pepper. Drain
canned artichokc bottoms, put III a
shallow pan and cover bottom of pan

spoons vinegar and one teaspoon salt.

thoroughly heated. Drain, mcunl

canned foods. One reason is that you
can be sure of the vitamin and mineral
content If you heat a canned veg
etable by merely dropping the can in
hot water, serving it with little but

you have lost nothing through the
valuable mineral content being boiled

TIE is the Americans own choice
of dessert, but, though fond of
it themselves, many housewives
hesitate to make it because they re-
gard it as difficult. With the use of
canned fruits and berries, the question
of filling is entirely solved and if one
hesitates to make the crust, that too,
can be bought prepared. Pies are
best when filings are cooked before
putting them between crusts and the
filings we take from cans are already
well cooked. /

His calm statement when shown the
shoes under cross examination that he
believed they had been polished up
quite a bit since the last time he saw
them. This brought a laugh in the
court room, for the state has made
much OF it's contention that if Mrs.
Mcpherson had actually walked as far
as she claims in those shoes they
would have shown much scuffing and
wear.

ed on the desert 70 or Is miles in or
binary street shoes without their show
ing much wear.
His statement that he had gone 10 or
I2 hours on the desert without water
and did not suffer.
Much valuable testimony for the de-
fense regarding the road over which
he said Mrs Mcpherson could have
made such a journey as she described,
and that some of this road could not
show footprints, as it's surface is too
hard and rocky for an impression to

cent on the London market as COM
pared with the costs last year. This
is attributed chiefly to the trade
on the continent, where precious stones
have been in abnormal demand owing
to unsettled conditions IN the cur

Various individuals as well as COM
mercial concerns with money to spare
in countries where the currency fluc-
tuates more or less from day to day,
have been buying fine diamonds
for months and as consequence the
merchants in London, Paris, Ant

indication that the rush for gems
of this kind will continue briskly
for some time.
