Corn Custard or Pudding
for Luncheon or Suppei

Containing both eggs and milk, corn
custard is sufficiently hearty to take
the place of other protein food for
lunch or supper. It might we'll be &C.
companied by simple vegetable
salad, and with cake or cookies for
dessert, the meal would be entirely
satisfying. The bureau of home eco
nomics gives the following directions
for making it:
cups canned corn IL teaspoons salt
or dried corn eggs
soaked and cooked 2 cups milk
2 tablespoons melt
ed butter
Beat the eggs and mix all the ingre-
dents. Pour into buttered baking
dish and place in the oven in a pan
containing boiling water. Bake the
corn custard slowly until it is entirely
set to the center in moderate oven
$3.50 degrees F.. Corn canned Maine
style, that is. with the grains scored
and pulp scraped out, is especially
good for use in this kind of dish.

Cars Quickly Cleaned

After passing through most tunnels,
trains are usually dirtier than they
were when they entered, but exactly
the reverse is true of passage over
one of the railroad lines In France.
After going through it, says Popular
Mechanics Magazine, every car Is
brushed and vacuum-cleaned, saving
the time and labor required for scrub
bling with hand implements. The tun-
ell is an archway which is lined with
brushes and accommodating attach.
ments. AS the train Is pulled slowly
along, the polishing and cleaning ap-
paratus functions automatically and,
In doing so, reaches almost every part
of the exterior of the cars.

. STORY FROM THE START

Handsome, fastidious and
wealthy-young st. Croix Creigh-
ton awaits his sweetheart at
their trysting place. She is late,
this ordinary little Pennsylvania
Dutch girl, Nicely Schwenckton,
but he awaits her eagerly. She
is so demurely beautiful, he
thinks, but so out of his "class."
Despite her seeming innocence
and ignorance, she succeeds In
keeping him at a distance. to
his chagrin. Nicely, in the
Schwenckton home, where she Is
boarding, Is altogether unlike
the girl who meets st. Croix
clandestinely. She Is the teacher
in the neighborhood school, Of
which Marvin Creighton, st
Croix' brother, Is superintendent.
Due to family differences, Marvin
Creighton boards in town, near
Nicely. Nicely learns that Marvin
was to have married his cousin,
a titled English lady, but, be-
lieving she was attracted by the
Creighton wealth. had refused
the alliance. 1t Is the rumor that
st. Croix is to take Marvin's
place and marry the English girl.

Animals Color Sense

The colorful world of green grass
and trees, red meat, brownish-gray
mice and yellow dogs is all just gray
to cats, according to Prof. f. M. Gregg
of Nebraska Wesleyan university, who
experimental with the color scheme
of night-prowling animals. Dogs and
raccoons also lack color perception,
he finds In his experiments the ami
mails were taught to recognize various
color combinations. They. learned that
when certain colors were shown they
could come up and expect to be fed.
When shades Of gray corresponding in
brightness to the different colors were
substituted for the brilliant rainbow
hues, the animals apparently noted no
change in the dinner signals. The
dog, a fox terrier, was quickest to
learn, the cat next, and the raccoon
the slOwest of all,

pumpkin pie is made from the sweet
pumpkin; cook down until it is a
rich brown color. The canned pump
kin may be bought, it Is good; but
that too, needs cooking down to bring
out the flavor and richness However,
there is nothing to take the place of
the old-fashioned pumpkin cooked and
stirred for hours over good fire.
To make the pie:
Pumpkin Pie.-Take one and one
half cupfuls of the Drowned pump
kin, two-thirds of cupful of brown
sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt,
one and one-half cupfuls of milk, one
teaspoonful of cinnamon, one and one
half teaspoonfuls of ginger, two we'll
beaten eggs and one-half cupful Of
cream. Pour into the pastry lined
plate and bake quickly at first to bake
the crust, then slowly to cook the
custard.
Steamed Squash.-Steam a small
hubbard squash until tender. Let dry
out, then mash and put through a
colander. Reheat and add four table
spoonfuls of butter to pint of squash,
season with salt and add enough
cream to make 1t like well-mashed
potatoes. Beat thoroughly and serve
piled lightly into hot dish. Dot with
cubes of butter.
Chicken a la king.-Heat two table,
spoonfuls of butter until 1t bubbles,
add one chopped green pepper, the
seeds having been removed. Let cook
slowly for three minutes, then add a
tablespoonful of flour, salt and
paprika to taste and enough rich
milk to make thick, smooth sauce.
When the sauce Is done add two cup
fuls of cooked chicken and let 1t
heat through. Serve on toast or in
pastry shells or timbal cases.
If the winter is the time one is en-
tertaining, canned corn, peas and
beans which have been put up during
the season of fresh vegetables will
please the palate much better than
the kind we may purchase in town.
Drawn butter or tomato sauce is
also good with chestnuts.

fine. Add to the saucepan one table
spoonful each of minced onion land
butter; let fry until brown, sprinkle
with pinch of curry, salt, and
dash of cayenne. Add the oyster

add quart of hot rich milk and the
oysters. Serve hot.
oyster Sauce on Toast.-Put quart
of oysters into the boiling hot liquor
of the oysters and cook until plump.
Drain and chop the oysters fine. Melt
two tablespoonfuls of butter, turn in
the oysters and saute until well cooked
but not tough. Add a half teaspoon
full of curry, tablespoonful of onion
grated, one cupful of cream which has
been cooked with tablespoonful of
flour; season we'll and pour over mar
row strips of buttered toast. Garnish
with fried oyster.
Pot Roast With vegetables.-Put
pot roast into deep iron kettle and
brown we'll all over in a little suet.
When well Drowned add teaspoonful
of sugar, such seasonings as one likes,
and no more than a tablespoonful of
water. Cover tightly and cook until
the meat is tender. Add water in the
same amounts when needed Cook a
few carrots, potatoes and spinach in
separate dishes, until tender. Mash
and season and press into small
goblet or mold to shape. Turn out
around the roast on hot platter, al
ternating the colors. Reheat in the
oven so all will be served hot.
Brown Mushroom Sauce.-Dry mush-
rooms or the canned variety may be
used for this dish. Soaking the dry
ones for several hours will make them
tender. >Save the water to use in the
sauce. Prepare with butter and flour,
add the liquor with cream and cook.
Cheese Puffs.-Melt two tablespoon
fuls of butter and mix with two table
spoonfuls of flour; stir until smooth
