really marvellous things do occur after water
drinking has been made a habit.
For the doubling Thomas" I want to tell
you about a girl friend of mine whom l had the
pleasure of seeing yesterday for the first time in
over a month.
Dorothy is a lovely creature with dark red
hair and milk-white skin. To everyone's regret
she was subject to facial blemishes which married
the c~learness of her skin and caused her many
hours Of sorrow.
We had suggested everything we could think
Of but nothing seemed to be of lasting benefit.
About six weeks ago we spent a weekend
together and | noticed that she drank very little
water. Tea, coffee, lemonade and orange juice
seemed TO be the only liquids she INDUCED in.
| remarked about it and she said:
II simply never drink water except a sip or

there IS a tendency TO cook IN a

but habits.
We grow such a tremendous
variety and quantity OF vegetables in
this country that even in Winter one
could buy a different vegetable each
day for a week. And OF course in
Summer the variety is even o
abundant. Not only are there differ
ent vegetables. but within each type
there Is variety.
Take squasheS. for example. There
are ever so many OF them. and the
most common type-the yellow Hub

Winter. AS a result of the cold, or of the way

now these self same cavaliers are tobogganing,

never a glance at poor little, huddled up Beauty.
Be wise, little Winter w~allhower, find yous
joys in Winter sports too. Love is just as murh
at home at the skating rink as he is in a moon
drenched, rose-flled garden. With your eyes
shining beneath a woolly cap, and your soft
cheeks tinted by the crisp cold air, you will be
far more beautiful than ever. And Love will
tell you so to the sound Of happy laughter rather
than to the strains Of a seductive orchestra.

Chicken Mousse
For Luncheon Dish

An excellent combination for
the one-plate luncheon dish is
Chicken House with Tomato
Cream Salad. This should be
served with bread and butter
sandwiches and some dessert such
as fruit tarts and coffee. The
basis of the tomato cream salad
is fresh tomatoes. Scoop out the
centers of these and chill Chill

SALAD DRESSING
!. DIFFERENCES

All mayonnaise is. salad dres.
sing, but not all salad dressings
are mayonnaiSe.
Products commercially known
as salad dressing" may look like
mayonnaise and perhaps taste
like it, but in food ingredients
they may be much different. In
price they differ, too. Salad
dressing" usually costs less than
mayonnaiSe.
Before the United States De
partment Of Agriculture adopted
the standard for mayonnaiSe
many products ranging from ex-
cellent mayonnaiSe to a mixture
containing much starch or other
filters. and being artificially col.
ored were sold under that name,
There was no official standard,
and as a result there were wide
variations in food value and
prices.
In 1928 the food standards
committee called a hearing at
which many manufacturers Of
salad dressings appeared and
gave their opinions regarding
7mayoni.aise. Although manufac;
turers differed greatly in opinion,
the outcome was a definition Of
nayonnaiSe.
What Is MayOnnaise?

QUICK MEALS
BY ELECTRICITY

Electric range oven meals have
won a definite place in the pro-
gram Of the homemaker. Whole
meals may be prepared in the
oven Of an electric range.
The fact that the electric oven
is thoroughly insulated makes it
ideal for cooking oven meals. No
heat escapes into the kitchen.
On the warm summer days an
oven meal may be cooked with
out fear of increasing the tenn
perature of the kitchen. The
heat is retained in the oven,
where it belongs.
There are a few items to re-
member in cooking whole meals
In an automatic electric range
oven. For combinations, includ-
ing roast meats, 1t is necessary,
first, to scar the meat in an un-
covered utenSil, then cover it for
the roasting process. Vegetables
and other foods need merely to
be prepared and placed in the
oven in covered utensils for the
required length Of time. -
Do not baste nor add water
during the cooking process, as
the juices and flavors will be
retained in the covered pans. In
cooking vegetables in covered
utensils for longer periods, very
little water should be added,
especially to potatoes. Whole
meal menus may include roast
pork, baked tomatoes and onions,
candied sweet potatoes, baked
apples. Or the menu may be
varied to include stuffed breast
of lamb, salmon loaf, braised beef,
baked beef hash. baked ham and
any suitable combination Of vege-
tables.

HOLU to Tell If Meat
Has Been Frozen

Frozen meat can be dis
tinguished from home.killed by
it's cold, hard touch. After it has
been thawing for some time it
takes on a par-boiled appearance
and begins to ooze-a thing never
found with home-killed meat.
The fat Is generally deadly
white and very different in
appearance from that Of unfrozen
meat, and the flesh has a more
uniform pinkishneSs, owing to the
diffusion Of the coloring matter
Of the blood.

ARITY
Of SAUSAGE:
FOR FALL.

The popularity Of sausage is
ever increasing because the home
maker knows from experience
that good grade sausage carrying
the name Of a reliable manu-
facturer Or producer offers one
Of the most economical forms Of
meat. Sausage is usually in a
ready-to-eat form, which means
no waste and no expenditure OF
time nor labor required for prep
Rration. In order to further
assist the homemaker many Of
the foremost producers are now
putting the sausage UP in three
quarters to one.pound pieces. the
size found most convenient to
the homemaker.
Prime Favorite y
Bologna sausage has always
been a household favorite, made
from Governmellt.inSpected beef
and pork, finely ground, deli
cately seasoned, smoked and
cooked. It now comes to the
market not only in the long piece,
but in q pound ring. just the
right size for the family. The
ring bologna may be sliced and
served with other cold cuts or
heated, with vegetables.
Liver cheese may now be pur-
chased in "kitchenette size" or
one-pound loaf for those who are
particularly fond Of this tasty
sausage. Because of its high liver
content it offers the anemic per-
son a delightful variation in the
restricted "liver diet"
bThe LowIy Vicente
Frankfurters are popular the
year round, but in the spring and
summer months they not only
assist in adding variety to the
meals served at home, but also for
the picnic or camp. Served Siz-
Zling hot between a buttered soft
roll, spread with mustard, we have
q true picnic treat. Potato salad
or cold Slaw and frankfurters are
d happy combination. AS produced
by one Of the most reliable manu-
facturerS, the frankfurters are
made from choice pork and select.
ed boaeless beef very finely chop
ped and ground together to give
the finished product a firm,
smooth texture. Frankfurters are
very lightly seasoned in order to
bring out the natural flavor of the
meat. They come TO the market
