Good Things to Eat

brown slightly. Serve cold. This rec
ipe will make eight servings.
A Different Baked Ham
Have two pounds of lean ham
sliced very thinly. Trim off the fat
from the edge and mince it. In the
bottom of buttered casserols place
layer of the sliced ham, sprinkle it
with little dry mustard, a little
flour, and brown sugar on top of the
flour. Repeat with the ham, mustard,
flour and brown sugar until all the
ham is used. Spread over the top
the minced fat and few bread
crumbs. Cover with rich milk and
bake for two hours, keeping the dish
covered. The meat will be done de-
liciously and the milk will make a
nice gravy. Four to six servings.
Walnut Mocha Cake.
1-2 of butter.
l of sugar.
1-2 of coffee infusion.
1 3-4 of flour.
2 1-2 of baking powder.
3 egg whites.
Sd of broken walnut meats.
Cream butter, add sugar gradual
ly, coffee, flour sifted with baking
powder, nuts and the egg whites beat
en- stiff. Bake about as minutes at
a temperature of 375 F.
Fresh Tomato Rarebit
Cut two pounds of solid, ripe to-
matoes in half-inch slices, season with
salt and pepper, roll in flour, and
broil for a few minutes. Place on
hot platter and pour over them the
rarebit made of three cups of white
sauce in which one cup of grated AM
orican cheese is melted. Season the
rareoit with few drops of onion
juice, one teaspoon of Worcestershire
sauce, and a dash of cayenne. Re-
move from fire as soon as cheese is
melted. The tomatoes should be
timed so as to be done at the same
time. As soon as the cheese is poured
over them dash with paprika, garnish
with parsley or cress, and serve i'm
mediately. Four to six servings.

Here are recipes in variety, each
one tested and worthy of a place in
your scrapbook.
Baked Clans
Remove clans from the shells and
to each dozen add one stalk of celery
chopped fine, three tablespoons of
butter and liberal seasoning of salt
and pepper. Line baking dish with
bread crumbs, dot with butter and
bake thirty-five to forty minutes. If
preferred the shells may be washed,
tablespoon of crumbs placed in
each, then enough of the clam mix
ture to fill, sprinkling of crumbs
and dot of butter, and baked thirty
minutes. A casserole for four or five
persons.
Spanish Spaghetti
Simmer for one hour two cups of
canned or cooked tomatoes, two cups
of mixed vegetables, one cup of chop
ped cold boiled potatoes and two cups
of water, one pound of spaghetti and
eight frankfurters (clip the ends off
for one inch, mince, and add to the
mixture) and cook for one hour long
err. Season to taste with salt, pepper,
cayenne and butter. Serve in individ-
ual dishes with the frankfurter on
top or place all in one large dish with
the frankfurters used as a garnish.
This amount will serve eight and
makes a very satisfying one-dish
meal.
Georgia Custard
This custard is different not only
in flavor but in consistency.
One cup of cake crumbs (sponge
cake is best), two cups of milk, yolks
of four eggs, one-fourth cup of sug-
or, one-eighth teaspoon of salt, one
teaspoon of vanilla; mix all well to-
gether. Turn into a well oiled pud-
ding dish, and bake slowly at tenn
perature of 275 degrees F. until when
tested as for custard it is done. Whip

How Snakes Lay Eggs

Egg-laying snakes, unlike birds, do
not lay an egg each day until the
laying is completed. As a rule, all
the eggs laid by an oviparous snake
in any given season are laid within a
very short period.
The U. S. Biological Survey says a
python measuring about 20 feet in
length laid about 100 eggs in one
day. In the case of little ring
necked snake it was observed that in
every instance except two all the. eggs
were deposited within one day. This
species of snake lays only from three
to eight eggs.
GAS a general rule" says the New
York Geological park, "oviparous
snakes lay all their eggs at one time,
or in one day, though occasionally we
have noted them to lay some one day,
and some more the following day.
Laying one egg day might prove
inconvenient for the python, which
frequently lays from 80 to 40 eggs.
The chicken snake and like species
usually lay eight to fourteen eggs"

Household Hints
Uses of Old Eel. Hat.

Uses OF Via Eelt fiots
Instead of throwing away the old
felt hats, they may be used for iron
holders, pot filters, mats for plants
or cut out discs and paste them ON the
hair legs to prevent scratching of the
floors and to deaden the noise.
To Clean the Hands
Where dirt is ground into the
hands, rub them thoroughly with vas
cline, allow it to remain 80 minutes
and then wash the hands.
Cleaning Rusty Knives
When a knife blade becomes rusty
plunge the blade into an onion and
allow it to remain for two hours;
then polish it.
The Ironing Board
If one will make slip of I'M
bleached muslin to fit the ironing
board, open at both ends, II is far
better than using sheet or sewing
or lacking it to the board.
To Restore Summer Dresses
Summer dresses can be nicely re-
stored by putting tablespoonful of
borax in pan of water, dampening
a clean cloth in this solution and
sponging the dress. Then press il
with hot iron.

How Are Bones in Canned
Sardines Softened?

All canned foods must be process
ed after the can is sealed. By the
term processing" is meant heating
at high temperature for a sufficient
length of time to kill all organisms
that may cause spoilage. Such heat
ing softens the bones of fish. No
further treatment, says the Depart
ment of Agriculture, is necessary to
soften the bones in canned sardines,
salmon, kippered herring and similar
fish products.

B. ]. L.-You eat too many rolls.
They are a form of bread and bread
is the article of food which is re-
sponsible for more adipose than any
other. One slice of bread with each
meal is sufficient or one roll. Where
a basket of rolls or bread is placed
on the table there is the temptation
to keep on eating them until the 9th
err food arrives, but it is bad habit
for those inclined to flesh.

What Mother Really
Wants

What Mother really wants for
Christmas and what she usually
asks for are two different things.
Maybe you've never even suspect
ed that Mother would like a new
GAS range-one with automatic
oven heat control and up-to-date
improvements. She complains
about the old stove occasionally,
but of course it still cooks! If,
however, you could see Mothers
looking at the new gas ranges, ask
ing eager questions, you'd realize
that one of their fondest dreams is
to own just such a modern, eff
cient, labor-saver.
