Caulifower Au Gratin
ALWAYS Delicious Dish

Dishes served Eau gratin"-"with
gratings"-are those with grated
cheese in the sauce. They usually
have also some Drowned buttered
bread crumbs on top, adding flavor
and crispness. The French serve q
great many foods Eau gratin," and use
this type Of sauce for relocating left
overs which would otherwise he lack

ly cooked and leftover cauliflower are
delicious Eau gratin." The directions

cially for their blankets. If the temper.
allure is carefully watched they will
come out very well. No woolens should
be rubbed on board or boiled or have
soap rubbed on them. 1t is best not to
soak them unless for very short
time because of the change in the
temperature Of the water. Wiring
blankets through loosely set wringer
and hang them on line with half or
fourth on one side. The ends should
be squeezed occasionally to remove
excess water. When the blankets are
thoroughly dry the nap may be raised
by brushing well with a clean stiff
whiskbroom. The warmth of blanket
depends very largely on the amount
of nap 1t has, SO this step is impor-
tant.
The blankets are now ready to be
stored and should be wrapped up at
once before any moths light on them.
The same is true II they are sent to
a dry cleaner instead of being washed
at home. Do not leave them around
waiting for attention. Wrap, them
tightly in several thicknesses Of
strong clean unbroken paper with
napthalene flakes or crystals Of para
dichlorobenzene sprinkled literally be-
tween the folds. These substances will
kill young moth larvae. Newspaper
may be used If it is strong and whole
and If all openings are sealed. The
picture shows some college students
at Maryland university learning to
wrap a blanket for storage.
If you have tight cedar chest you
can, of course, put the blankets away
in 1t without wrapping them, but they
should be thoroughly cleaned and
brushed first.

Plants Are Beneficial
in Any Sleeping Room

The belief that plants should be re-
moved from sleeping rooms at night is
entirely without foundation, according
to DR.. A. f. Woods, director of scien.
tific work in the United States De.
partment of Agriculture. In many
hospitals 1t is regular practice to
remove flowers and plants from the
rooms at night, because It Is thought
that they are in some way injurious
to the patients.
Instead of plants being harmful
they are beneficial, says Doctor
Woods. During the day they give off
oxygen and moisture and take up car
bon dioxIde. AT night these processes
slow down and small amounts of car.
bon dioxide are given off, but whole
greenhouse full Of plants would not
give off enough carbon dioxide to in.
iurously affect the composition of the
air.
The only occasion for removing
plants and flowers from sleeping
rooms Is in the case of poisonous
plants and In cases of people who
suffer from hay fever. In these cases,
explains Doctor Woods, plants and
flowers to which the patient Is sen
sitive should not be in the room at
any time.

Theoretically there's no trick at all
TO serving "peach melba"-halves of
large canned fruit filled with vanilla
ice cream; but did you ever try to
make half a canned peach sit still on
plate while you put Ice cream in it?
There's an easier way to get the same
effect: Put the ice cream On the plate
first and lay the two half peaches,
round side up, on top Of it, as in the
illustration. Then they can't slide all

Vegetable Loaf

Vegetable loaves may be made of
vegetable combinations. Either navy
beans or lima beans furnish good
foundation vegetable. Variety Of fla
vor may be secured by adding cooked
carrots, celery, tomatoes with parsley,

With this loaf could be served let
