The favored animals, carefully
treated as some of our prize live

supplemented by a diet of pre-.

Low MATERIALS
AID UTILITIES

The continued decline in COM
modify prices is of greater value
to public utilities than to rail-
roads and industrialS, according
to the Investment Bulletin of
the Alexander Hamilton Insti-
tute.
The selling prices of their own
products are stable and their
volume of sales not subject to
drastic reduction. even during de-
preston. Railroads. however. suf-
fer acutely from decreased vol
ume. Industrial income suffers
from reductions in both price
and volume
The favorable position of pub
lie utilities is, accordingly, re-
flected in their relatively stronger
resistance to receding prices.

USES Of SOUR
MILK TQLO

You could scarcely class a wo-
man as a poor housekeeper just
because she allows perfectly good
milk to sour. But criticism could
Justly be cast on her should she
allow this milk to be thrown out
Milk in the sour state is just as
valuable to ones body as is fresh
milk in that it contains exactly
the same elements. The health
properties are not, destroyed by
this change, nor do the minerals
for which milk is so highly regard
ed have even so much as a chance
to escape.
SOuring Process
To be sure it is the flavor and
the consistency which are changed
in this simple process of souring
caused by bacteria, and with these
changes we have a slightly differ
ent change in the way we use it
in cookery
. One is quite fortunate at times
to have some sour cream or milk
on hand to use n salad dressings,
cookies, a gingerbread or biscuits,
but either can be used in all kinds
of cookery.
Use Brown Bread
Brown bread which we used to
steam three hours can be oven
baked in covered coffee cans and
if sour milk and soda are used
for this bread it Is delicious.
Sour milk. griddle cakes and bis
cults are old timers, but butter
scotch pie made with sour cream
may be decidedly different to you
as well as chocolate bread and
crumb pudding.
Butter-ScOtch Pie
/ cup sour cream.
tablespoon flour.
Yolks two eggs.
teaspoon vanilla.
Is teaspoon salt.
l tablespoon butter.
cup brown sugar.
Mix the flour, sugar, salt, cream,
eggs (Slightly beaten), vanilla and
the melted butter. Pour into an
unbaked crust and bake in a very
hot oven for about 10 minutes;
then decrease heat to bake Gus
tard. Test with a knife, remem-
bering that when the custard is
cooked it will not adhere to the
blade. Make meringue with egg
white and two tablespoonful of
sugar.

TRY MUSHROOM
RECIPE FOR
DINNER
Hints on How to Prepare
Delicious Tidbit Are Given
BY Expert

Mushrooms, which grow about
us abundantly and are classed
among the vegetables. should Of.
ten be included in our menus.
While there are hundreds of vari-
eties., little study will acquainU
one with dozen or more of the
most common ones which are
valuable as food.
Mushrooms require heat nd
MOISTURE severe drought or
very wet soil being unfavoraole
to their growth. Never gather
mushrooms in the vicinity of de-
caying matter. They appear IN
the middle of May and last until
frost comes.
Temperate Climes
Mushrooms are found in nearly
all temperate climates and grow
in damp, woody places away
from the direct sunlight. They
ar grown for commercial Use
in damp caves or mushroom
houses, specially constructed for
the purpose. AS a rule they
are picked at least once day
and sometimes twice. .
The mushroom is not, as gen.
orally understood, the plant or
fungus itself, but the fruit of the
growth which produces it, and
which remains under the ground.
The same -pecies and variety of
mushroom often differ in color
and size. The button mush-
rooms are young mushrooms
gathered while still round.
Possess Delicate Flavor
All kinds of mushrooms should
be cooked quickly after being
gathered or dried for future use.
They deteriorate rapidly and lose
their delicate flavor.
This is a class of food which
is rather neglected. Although
their nutritive value is small they
ado variety to the menu ana are
delicious in sauces for meats and
steaks of all kinds.
Prepare for Cooking
In preparing mushrooms h ey
should not be soaked, as this will
destroy their flavor. Trim them,
then dip quickly into cold water
and wipe the caps with a cloth.
Ii they seem to be gritty they
may be put in a colander and
gently washed with cold water.
It is necessary to skin or peel
the caps, as the cultivated varie-
ties have very thin skins and it
is much easier to cook them with
the skins on. Be sure not to
cook them too long, as this will
destroy their delicate flavor and
tougher tn mushrooms.
The Washington times., 1931-06-09
DEFROST REFRIGERATOS

When the ice coating on the
walls of the chilling unit cecome
so thick that you have difficulty
removing the trays, the retrigera-
tor should be defrosted. Defrost-
ing may be done overnight.
Empty the trays the next morning
and thoroughly clean them before
refilling with fresh water. Empty
and clean tray beneath inset pans
and fill. Never let water refreeze
for use.
