HUGE skyscraper tanks designed for

something like that of a column OF

the grain in humid weather tends 70 exr

lateral pressure. Great care must be
taken to exclude moisture With this
end in view the new tanks are designed
with a lining Of glazed tile as well as
an exterior covering Of the same. In
addition. iron bands, cement and wire
netting are used.
These giant tanks are arranged pair

FOREIGN TRICKS
WORTH TRYING

From the cook books Of our
foreign-born neighbors we can gath
err many suggestions that will give
to our daily meals q touch Of the
unusual.
IT has been said that the finished
dishes Of the Orient depend tor their
savoriness upon the flavor Of each
individual ingredient rather than
upon the general seasonings.
Vegetables have an entirely new
flavor when they are first fried In
oil or other fat and then boiled In
meat stock. The wel1-seasoned
stock imparts q richness OF flavor
not to be attained in an other
way.

use mace very freely--a table

salt is frequently rubbe, on meat

toes are also coated with mace.

Blends of tea differ even more
than blends of coffee. A person
who Is accustomed to green tea
usually can see nothing good In
black tea. And the opposite u
true. So first Of all to suit the
taste of guest you must know his
preference. Black tea Is now used
much more in this country than
green.
Most teas, as sold today. are
blends Of various kinds and differ
enormously in flavor. They are
known as Orange Pekoe" or Eng
fish Breakfast and under other
names which signify typical COM
binations of certain kinds Of tea.
Loses Its Aroma
Like coffee, although not so
quickly, tea loses It's aroma IL ex-
posed to the air. 1t should be kept
in a closed box. In the last few
years tea has been put up in tiny
bags of cheese cloth containing
enough tea for small pot. This
liz an expensive way to buy 1t and
tea experts feel that the sizing in
the cloth has an effect on the
flavor. If you make your own tea
bags use washed cheesecloth.
I like a metal tea ball for use
in a tea pot. Experts feel that tea
is not improved by touching metal
but il the tea BAH is put In the
pot, the freshly boiling water
poured over it and removed after
two or three minutes there will lie
little effect.
I do not like tea ball. as often

which is Of course less than, boil.
ing. Fresh boiling water is abso-
lutely essential for tea. The cold
water should be. allowed to run
until sparkling, boiled at once and
used Immediately.
Sliced Lemon Used.
Cream, sugar. and sliced lemon
should be passed with tea. Re-
member that your guest may like
cream as much as you like lemon
with tea, or vice versa. Some
times for afternoon teas other at
tractive accessories are passed.
These add to the appearance of the
tea table whether they improve the
tea or not. The most elaborate
service of this kind that / have
seen il in a famous New York
where, besides the usual
cream and lemon with cloves, can.
died cherries, kumquats, violet
leaves, and mint leaves are also on
the tea tray.
Whatever is served with after
noon tea must be dainty. Tiny
mixed sandwiches cut in different
shapes. small baking powder bis
cult or mullins, little cakes. cookies
or crullers are all delicious. Gin
namon toast or plain toast should
be cut in finger lengths. There
are exceptions to all things and it
seems to be English mullins which
are rather large but Of course split
in half before being toasted. Orange
marmalade or raspberry, strawberry
jam is often served with mullins
or toast.

PEACH SOUP

Now that weight reducing is the
fashion of the hour. both among
men and women, few persons want
a heavy soup as prelude to roast
meat or other substantial dishes.
More desirable is the appetizer
form of food. something in the ma.
ture of a fruit cocktail. This idea
gave rise to a newer idea still, the
fruit soup.
Soak three-quarters of a cup Of
rolled oats overnight in a quart Of
cold water and pint of juice
drained from can of canned
peaches. Stir, strain, and bring to
a boil. Season with sugar and pinch
of salt to taste. Service with grated

and economical foods one can buy.
Available at all times, these
canned sea foods, like fresh fish,
are not alone rich in protein. fat
and minerals, but contain a higher
percentage of iodine than any other
of our common foods.
Therefore, frequently serving them
adds to our healthful foods, espe-
cially for those who live in districts
where 1t is difficult to get enough
iodine in the daily food supply,
making prevalent conditions of the
thyroid gland known as goiter.
Surely no industry has done
more to stock our shelves with an
adequate variety of quickly pre-
pared main dishes than the can
ners of the products of the sea.

they, too. are canned with most
scrupulous care.
AS for sardines, so many are
canned each year that their prices
are low, and they suggest not only
q. nutritious food, but an economical
one, as we'll. We generally find
three varieties on the grocer's shelf;
those packed in oil. in mustard
sauce, and in tomato sauce. Cen
orally the small sardines are packed
in olive. cottonseed or peanut oil,
while the larger fish are canned In
mustard or tomato sauce.
In Varied Sizes
Canned shrimp are usually mar.
keted in No. 1 and No. III cans,
containing about five ounces and
eight ounces, respectively. The
shrimp are cooked before canning
and are put up in either a dry or
wet pack. 'Dry-pack" shrimp con-
tain nothing but whole cooked
shrimp, while in the wet pack the
whole cooked shrimp are packed in
a light brine. Both are excellent
canned fish products, and It is a
matter Of personal taste which one
selects.
Tuna needs no introduction, for
it is almost a universal favorite.
However, few of US realize that
there are four species of tuna
packed, and il we desire to buy
the same variety Of meat from
time to time, we needs must ex-
anime the label.
The four varieties of tuna include
White Meat. Blue Fin. Yellow Fin
and Striped Tuna. Formerly there
was some confusion. as cans bore
only the label Tuna. " but today 1t
is generally understood that cans
labeled white Meat contain the
AIbacore, which is a type Of tuna
having nearly pure white meat re-
sembling, to q remarkable degree
in flavor and texture. the breast
Of I'D chicken.
these cans labeled eTuna' or
Light Meat Tuna usually contain
Blue Fin or, Yellow Fin: The latter
variety particularly is becoming IN
creasingly popular because OF ITS
close resemblance to the White
Meat. which has been rather scarce
Tor the last two seasons.
Meat is Darker
Cans containing striped tuna are
so labeled. This variety is darker
meat than any of the others ana
has a pleasant gamy flavor. II IS
usually the cheapact variety, be-
cause the fish is so small that the
appearance in the can Is not quite
so favorable.
Canned salmon should interest
all intelligent and thrifty house
keepers, for not only is there a
kind for every use, but the range
Of price is such that anyone may
readily buy the variety lest suited
to his purse. In fact, canned sal
mon IL one of the most wholesome
and least expensive foods one may
buy.
Few OF US realize that five species
of salmon varying greatly in size,
color and texture of the flesh are
canned. All of these varieties are
found on the grocar's shelf, so it is
not enough to ask for "a can OF
salmon To purchase intelligently
and economically. we must specify
king, Red, Cohoe, Pink, or Chum
to be assured of the same variety
of canned salmon at all times.
Chinook, King, or Spring Salmon
is the largest of all the salmons
and was the first; by some it is
considered the best eating and
usually brings a fancy price. 1t
contains more fat than any other
kind Of canned salmon and varies
in color from The more common
