Following is a very good recipe

ANSWERING QUESTIONS

Popover Tins: Can popovers be
made sat factorily in tin or alumni
nun pans or is it essential to have the
iron gem pans Mrs. j. J. j.
Popovers can be made successfully
in any kind of muffin tins, though
perhaps it is true that the iron ones
hold the heat the best. However, my
own are Of tin or aluminium. Of
course. the popover batter sould be
we'll beaten and the muffin tins greas-
ed heavily and put in the oven to
heat so that they will be piping hot
when the batter is poured into them.
Since the popovers are to be blown up
by the steam which is formed in them,
they should go in hot oven at first
round $50 degrees. After they are
we'll popped" the temperature can
be lowered to moderate or $50 de-
grees so that they can dry through
slowly and will have no FLANNEL cur
tains"
Cakes for French Pastry: What
kind of sponge cakes are used for
French Pastry to be used with heavy
butter icing Mrs. E. E. c.
AS far as l know, sponge cakes are
not used for French Pastry but rath-
er rich butter cakes such as the pound
cake recipe which follows. The rich
cakes are usually baked in sheets and
then cut with tin cutters into small
fancy shapes which are then iced
with the rich butter icing you men,
ton. Sometimes fondant icing is
used and the little cakes decorated
with dainty colored frosting flowers.

l cup butter.
Y cups flour.

II cups powdered sugar.
1 tsp. baking powder.

Cream the butter, add flour grad

Prune Whip: Why do my date or
prune whips fall when they are taken
from the oven making them too SOL
id?-Mrs. Roger A. J.
Since the foundation of the fruit
whip is made of egg whites, the prin-
cipal trick is in the baking. AS YOU
perhaps remember that we said at the
cooking school, eggs belong to a group
of foods, the products which include
meat, cheese, milk, eggs and which
are toughened by high temperatures.

and if it comes up at once, 1t indi-
Gates the fat is hot enough. The bread
cube test is the one that is spoken of
in cook books and that Is If cube of
bread dropped into the fat browns in
one minute, the fat is right for dough-
nuts. However, have several very
good recipes for doughnuts which |
will be glad to send you if you do not
have good one.
How much Whole Wheat? In max
ing whole wheat bread, what amount
of whole wheat shall | use?-Mrs. F.
K.
In almost any bread recipe of either
yeast or baking powder you will find
you may substitute half of the white
flour called for with whole wheat or
graham. However, if you use more
than that, it may be necessary to be
a little more liberal since the dark
fiours swell good deal and it may
be. necessary to increase the num-
Der of eggs to bind the coarser mix
ture together. Following is a good
whole wheat bread recipe and | will
be glad to send you others if you will
let me know what you wish.

6. Shape into loaf. 7. Fill creased pan

Time-Bake one hour. Temperature
Moderately hot oven, 400 F. AM

Soggy Pie Crust-Why is the bot
tom of my pie crust always soggy.-
Mrs. ]. j. K.
The crust will not soak if the oven
is very hot, about 450 degrees, wher
the pie is put in. If it is just shell
it can be baked the whole time in the
hot oven. If it has filling, have the
oven hot at first until the crust is
slightly Drowned, and then just a
moderate oven so that the filling can
bake slowly.
To brush the under crust with egg
white helps, or to partially bake il
before the filling is put in. In fruit
pies a couple of table spoons of foul
mixed with sugar and put in the bot.
tom of the pie will thicken the juice
so that it will not soak into the lower
crust.

problem.
Making Gravy: How can Keep
gravy smooth? 1t seems impossible
to me.-Mrs. j. B. X
Oh no, it isn't impossible to make
smooth gravy. If worst comes to
worst, it can always be put through
strainer at the last minute and all
the Jumps strained out. However, |
think if you are careful, there wont
be any Jumps to strain. The flour Is
first mixed with the hot fat and made
smooth. If you wish brown gravy,
cook the flour and shortening together
until they are very brown. After the
two are blended add the liquid slowly
and stir vigorously all the time. | find
that my wire egg beaten is hand
lest for making the batter smooth and
does much better job than spoon.
I admit that l am old fashioned en-
ough to enjoy lots of gravy and |
feel that good gravy is a proof of a
good cook.
Cream Putfs Pulled: Should Cream
Puffs be put in very hot oven to
start the baking. Mine are usually
flat Mrs. A. R. B.
Yes, cream puffs should go in a
hot oven to begin around $50 de-
grees to blow the puffs up quickly.
After they are up, the oven can be
turned down to moderate so that they
will dry through thoroughly and be
the delightful crisp shells which we
enjoy. The secret to cream puffs, !
think, is baking them as | have said,
and then being sure that the mixture
of flour, butter and water is cooked
until very stiff before any of the eggs
are added. After the addition of each
egg, the batter should be beaten Wig
orously. Following is good rule:
Cream Puffs.
! cup flour.
l cup boiling water.
Il cup water.
4 eggs.
Heat the butter and water together
, in small saucepan to the boiling
point. Add the flour all at once and
beat thoroughly. Cook about three
minutes stirring constantly. When
cooked the dough will form stiff
ball in pan. Remove from fire. Add
eggs one at a time unbeaten, being
sure to beat carefully after each egg
is added Bake on cooky tin, using
hot oven (40O F. for first Is minutes
reducing heat to $50 degrees or mod

Greasy Doughnuts: I seem to have
trouble in making doughnuts. Perhaps
my dough is too soft because it seems
to soak grease.-Mrs. D. A. S.
1t may be your dough is too soft
but there are other reasons too why
doughnuts may absorb fat First Of
all in the proportions of the recipe il
there is too much sugar or if there is
too much shortening, the doughnuts
; will be greasy. Another reason is ir

CnILBLAlN TIME.
Y DIR. ARTHUR L. FOSTER

During extremely cold weather, es-
pecially when the air is charged with
moisture, people who have weak cir
culation suffer from that quite COM
mon condition, called chilblain.
symptoms of Chilblain
Because poor circulation predispos-
es one to the disorder it occurs prin-
cipally in the feet, where the blood IS
always most sluggish. 1t may also
affect the ears, cheeks, nose and fing-
es as these parts are subject to the
greatest exposure to cold.
The most prominent signs are red
ness of the affected part together with
a burning and itching sensation which
usually attains it's greatest intensity
at night.
How to Prevent Chilblain
This is not an easy problem to solve.
What helps one person may be Of lit
tie value in another case.
Considerable good can be accom-
plished in the way Of prevention by
wearing wooden stockings and warm,
comfortable shoes. Each evening the
feet should be bathed in warm water
containing handful of EPSON salts,
thoroughly dried, then given brisk
massage, and powdered with talcum
& pts.) containing boric acid q pts.)
and pulverized alum Il pt.).
In addition to the foregoing the af-
fected area may be painted with mix
ture of equal parts of tincture opium
and tincture iodin. The Harrison mar
cotic law makes it necessary that a
physician whs is registered prescribe
this preparation. Another remedy
that gives relief in some cases is oil OF
peppermint and glycerin in the pro-
portion of 1:3.
How to Treat Chilblain
The many remedies for chilblair
show there is no one that is efficacious
in all cases. Certain fundamental prin-
cipals. however, hold true in all in
stances.
Thus in acute cases soothing appli-
cations, Calamine lotion is as good as
anything. Of the stimulating appli.
cations nothing is better than oil OF
turpentine mixed with an equal part
of camphorated soap liniment.
A prescription that has proven ben
eficial in my practice is the following
Camphor, 20 grains.
| Oil of Sweet Almond, 3 teaspoonfuls
Lanohn, l ounce.
Rose water, ounce.
apply externally to affected parts,
Consult Physician.
When chilblain does not respond
whatever to home treatment it is wei
to consult a physician inasmuch as
the condition may have been errone
ously diagnosed for a more serious
skin lesion. Or galvanism and hot all
baths given by a physician may bring
results where drugs fail to give relief
