pineapple Sherbet :
~ u u u u u u " " u " u u u u

In the very warm weather a fruit
sherbet is often more appealing than
a richer dessert. Lemon is used with
most other fruit juices to bring out
the flavor and add a cooling acidity,
as in this recipe for sherbet made
from fresh pineapple. The use of
beaten egg white is customary in sher-
bets to give smooth texture and
make the mixture seem less cold on
the tongue than plain water ice. The
directions are from the bureau OF
home economics.
l large fresh pine tbs. lemon Juice
apple White Of ! egg,
Sugar well beaten
Il tsp. salt
Select a well-ripened pineapple, re-
move skin, eyes and core. Grind the
fruit in a food chopper, using the fine
knife. and take'care TO place bowl
underneath to catch the juice. Press
the juice from the pulp and add to
the juice in the bowl. To each meas
ure of pulp add an equal measure of
sugar and heat. When the sugar has
dissolved press the mixture through
colander TO take out the tougher fbers.
Combine the juice and pulp. Add the
salt and lemon juice and sufficient wa
ter to make ! quart. and more sugar
if desired.
Use q freezing mixture of ! part
salt and to 6 parts of ice. Turn the
crank of the freezer slowly and when
partially frozen remove the dasher and
stir the beaten white of egg into the
mixture. Pack the freezer with more
ice and salt and let the sherbet stand
for 2 or 3 hours to ripen in flavor
These proportions make about IL
quarts of sherbet when frozen.

The citizens were appar- ently in receptive mood, for no soon CT had the band made it's premiere ap- pearance than it became the pride of every citizen regardless of creed or station. That the carnival was the success that it was is perhaps due in no small part to the prominence St Mary's Boy Scouts has attained through having this musical organiza- tion as an attribute Go their scout troops.
