proposed in resolution adopted last

completed at the school, but has proved
inadequate.
Another resolution, introduced by
Ernest H. Pullman, advocated the abol-
ishment of home study for students to

and social activities. The resolution met
with considerable disagreement and was
tabled until the May meeting.

Pleasing the Man
BY CHLOE JAMIsON.

or German origin is this man who
writes, asking me to put in a good
word for the cheese cake, or cheese
pie-his pet >dessert-which he also OBJ
serves is much liked by other men in
his Office who join him at noon for a
quick luncheon.
The ready-made cheese pie Is fairly
good, this man comedies, but some
how it lacks the taste that dlStin-
guished his mothers recipe. He would
ike to get hold of an authentic cheese
pie recipe, so he could carry it home
to his wife. who, being wholly Ameri-
can. is uninitiated in the fine points
Of this Old World dessert.
A cheese pie he shall have, then,
and very simple one that halls from
the kitchen of a fine old German lady
who knows more about delicious KAT
fie Kuchens and cheese pies than any
modern cook would confess.
First comes a pie crust made ready
in a deep pie pan. Then one takes
a cup of fresh cottage cheese and
creams it well with one cup Of rich
milk or half milk and half cream. To
this should be added two well-beaten
eggs, sugar to taste, and f1avoring,
which may be either a little grated
lemon rind, a pinch of ground CHINA
mon or nutmeg. Pour the custard
mixture into the pastry she'll and place
in a hot oven for five minutes baking;
then reduce the heat to low. and con-
tinue baking until the custard sets.
Double this recipe, if you use a very
deep pie pan.
There is also a delicious variation
called cheese -coconut pie, made in this
way: Soak one cupful of shredded
coconut in one cupful of milk; beat
together four egg yolks and four
tablespoonfuls of sugar, until the eggs
are very light. Add one cup of cottage
cheese, a pinch of salt. and beat well.
Stir into this the coconut and milk in
which 1t has soaked, adding another
cup of milk and the grated rind of a
lemon. Bake in pastry-lined pie tin
until firm in the center. You may
make meringue Of the egg whites, If
desired.

Kitchen Comments
BY WILDA HoYT.

YOU are tired of plain iced tea, no
doubt; why not try dressing it up
with fruit juices, to make delicious
new drink during these few weeks at
the end Of the season when iced bever-
ages are still in demand? To one pint
of strong. freshly-brewed tea add the
Juice of three lemons and two oranges
and sugar to Sweeten. Add bottle of
charged water or ginger ale, and use
plenty Of cracked ice in the glasses
This will make enough for four tall
glasses, and will give cooling drink
that is suitable for table use or i'm
promptu refreshment.
Your own orange or lemon flavoring
will taste much better than that bought
in the form of extract. To make it, pare
the fresh fruit very thinly, being sure
not to get any Of the white inner skin;
drop the peelings into a glass jar Of
fine granulated sugar, cover tightly and
set aside. When the sugar has absorbed
enough Of the fruit oil to became damp
it is ready for use as flavoring, and will
keep indefinitely.
When perfectly cooked. each grain of
boiled rice is separate, flaky and pure
white. Add teaspoonful of lemon juice
to each quart Of salted water in which
the rice is to be cooked and this will
help to give you the best results
In Summer, when you are using less
than the usual amount Of scalding hot
water, the sink is apt to become clogged
with accumulations from greasy water
You can prevent stoppage by pouring
down the drain gallon of boiling water
in which you have dissolved handful
Of sal soda. Do this once each week
If your family likes its pie best when
1t is warm, remember that you can re-
heat cold pie very easily If you will set
the pie tin in a baking dish filled with
boiling water and place over the flame
for IS or 20 minutes. Then put the pie
in the oven and heat and recrisp the
paste. and it will be as good as if freshly
baked.
You can keep kitchen faucets per-
petually bright by rubbing them quickly
with a soft cloth moistened with olive
oil. Brass fittings will not tarnish if you
rub over them occasionally with a slice
Of cut raw potato.
