Best results are usually obtained by
leaving the door open. Scar on one
side and then turn, being careful not
to pierce the brown crust. When both
sides are scared, reduce the heat. and
turn the steak occasionally until
cooked to the desired stage.
To pan-broil steak, scar ii on both
sides in a lightly creased. sizzling hot
skillet, then reduce the temperature
and cook TO the desired stage, turning
the heat TO insure even cooking. Do
not add water and do not cover. From
time to time pour off accumulated fat
so that the steak will not fry. A thick
steak after soaring may be successfully
finished in hot oven (450 degrees
Fahrenheit). Slip rack under the
steak in the skillet, and the meat will
cook evenly without being turned. This
is convenient arrangement, for full
attention may then be given to other
last minute preparations for the meal
Place the steak. when done. on a

The fireplace was sad.
1t thought it would not be lighted,
and it wanted to give warmth this
chilly weather and to make the peO-
pie feel cozier.
Then still another person said:

would be so pleasant to have fire."
They all agreed to this, and then
some one struck match and the fire

The fire in the fireplace heard these
pleasing remarks and danced cheerily
and gayly.
The sparks began to play hide and
go seek with each other.
The blue fairies and the red fairies,
the gold fairies, the amber fairies, the
flame fairies and the green-blue fairies
all came out and played with each
other in the fire.
Oh, it was SO gay in the fireplace,
and the people were so pleased that
they had decided TO light the fire.
But the fire in the fireplace was
particularly happy.

One very smart two-piece frock for
summer is of beige and blue crepe de
chine. the waist embroidered with gold
triangles. 1t is a Paris model and
an excellent representative of the ever
popular ensemble family of women's
wear.
The total values of the blues of this
season are of such cast that they
suggest beige or gray for the compile
menting colors. Hence beige or gray
krimmer & is frequently seen to ad-
vantage with a coat of bright blue.
A pleasing demonstration of this
color contrast may be obtained by the
selection of a frOck of blue, hat
of gray felt, gloves of gray, hose, bag,
umbrella of the same blue circled in
narrow stripes of gray, matching the
composition handle of gray. Instead
of gray, beige may be used as effec-
lively. and supply contrast that may
be more suitable to some women.
The model shown in the picture is
one of the newest. having a sash tie
at the side, making a striking crushed
effect at the waistline. The ends of
the sash hang even with the bottom of
the skirt which is in contrasting ma
terial and is plated. A narrow band
of the blouse material is stitched at
the extreme lower edge of the skirt.
A pointed neck and a scarf collar over
the right shoulder to the front give
a chic finish.
Although sports apparel leads the
mode for summer, it does not neces-
Sarily mean the severely tailored
models of past seasons, but chic sports

TIPS FOR HOUSEKEEpERS

An easy way to crush nuts is to use
a rolling pin on board.
The thrifty shopper buys clothes
which will be suitable for more than
one season.
Choose a clear windy day to laun-
der blankets and pillows so that they
will dry rapidly.
! Green vegetables may lose their
color from over cooking or from acids
or because the kettle is covered. e
Try to remove stains from clothes
with clear cold water, before washing
with soap. Soap sets many stains.
When weather does not permit out
side play, dress the child warmly and
let him play in room with all the
windows open.

1t was really warm weather. Win
dows were left open, doors were left
open.
People wore thin clothes. They went
out without coats, without warm
gloves, without big overshoes, with
out mufflerS.
The fireplace was made up but 1t
knew it would not be lighted. 1t might
stay this way for days and days, even
weeks and weeks. 1t did not know
how long it might stay this way.
The paper and the kindlings were
neatly arranged, the big log was at
the back of the fireplace and the larg-
err sticks of wood on top of the kim
dlings.
All one had to do was to light
match and the fire would be started.
But no one would light the fire in
this warm weather. 1t was much too
warm for a fire.
And the fireplace stayed very quiet;
no cracking, no spouting, no Sizing,
no warmth and no whispering go
ing on.
So it was day after day.
And then along came little cold
snap. The fireplace wondered if it
would now be left so still and stiff,
so cold and all alone.
1t wondered if it would not be
lighted.
But evening came and no one spoke
of the fire.
People put on light sweaters and
acted as though they were little bit
cold, but they did not light the fire.
Then suddenly some one said:
"Why not have the fire? It's chilly

Making Popular Angel Food

tPrepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The time TO indulge taste for an
gel food is OF course in the spring
when the hens begin to lay generously.
Because a good many whites and no
yolks are used in making angel cake
or "food," most thrifty housekeepers
make soft cuStard sauce from the
yolks and either serve this on fruit,
other dessert If one happens to be
having simmered fish for dinner a
good use for the yolks would be to
make Hollandaise sauce. This sauce
is also good with asparagus, which be-
comes available just about when eggs
are abundant also. The bureau of
home economics gives these directions
for making angel food, laying consider
able emphasis on cooking it in cool
oven.

Although angel food is one of the
sponge cakes, as differentiated from
cakes containing butter, it is mixed
in slightly different way than plain
sponge cake. The sugar, flour, and
half the salt are sifted together sew

with the other half of the salt until
they are frothy; then the cream of
tartar is added and they are beaten
until stiff. The dry ingredients are
then folded carefully into the beaten
egg whites, and when the mixture is
partly blended the flavoring is added.
Only the folding motion should be
used in mixing, for stirring tends to
release the air depending on for leav-

OLD FOLKS SAY
DR.. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT

The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since DR.. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription he
had used in Mis- practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These are
still the basis of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of SIENNA and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa-
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using DR.. CaldwelPs
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugsf
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. 1t is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.

Caring for Veterans

The house has passed a bill approprating
Sl400000O for construction of hospitals for yeter-
ans. This sum will provide 1876 additional beds
The new facilities are needed badly particularly
since congress has directed disqualification for all
veterans whether not their disabilities were in
CURED in military service Veterans bureau facili-
ties for the of mental patients particularly are
overtaxed, and the number of these cases will con-
tinue to increase for the next dozen years
Various questions in connection with veterans re-
lief reaching the point where permanent policies
must be adopted. President Hoover has recommend
ed consolidation of the pension bureau and the
veterans bureau. Congress must decide whether it
wants to make permanent its policy of providing
disqualification for nonservce-conneced disabilities
well as service connected and if so, build hos
pitfalls with that idea in mind
1t is estimated that the population of soldiers
homes will be $1,000 in 1853, and provision must be
made for meeting this situation
Most important is the question of World war
pensions, which is coming to the fore. Considerable
sentiment for them has been developing and they
were advocated in debate on the floor of the house
this week. Director Hines in his annual report de-
clares the problem must be met.
The whole subject is of first Importance to the
country, first because of the obligation to veterans
and next because of the billions of public funds that
must be expended in years to come. Then tendency
is toward liberalization although the matter will be
much debated in the next few years.
Meantime, the immediate and pressing need is for
adequate hospital facilities especially for the men
tally afflicted There is general agreement on the
necessity for the additional beds provided in the
house measure-as a minimum. The bill was side
tracked last session, 1t Is to be hoped it will not be
delayed unduly in the senate
