Re STSTER MARY

The clever cook knows and makes use of the many excellent prepared sauces on the market. As A means toward variety at small cost these sauces are almost indispensable. While they may be used with substantial foods as a relish, they are also an important ingredient in the preparation of many types of dishes.
 Prepared mustard has many more interesting possibilities than it's ordinary use as an accompani- ment to ham and frankfurters. The next time you make white sauce for 8 vegetable or meat, add a little prepared mustard and see if it doesn't pep up the combina- ton. Use it with cheese. Include 1t in the Seasonings for meat loaves and croquettes. Add to all seal loped dishes. Spread 1t lightly on meat and fish before cooking. Use 1t sparingly of course in most in- stances, but don't hesitate to try 1t.
 If you are looking for shortcuts in cooking, you will find one in the tomato sauce available in several good brands. This sauce really is concentrated puree, containing all the substance of fresh ripe to- matoes. The fresh flavor is not altered by the addition of spices. Instead of blending @ sauce from strained, canned or fresh tomatoes at the cost of both time and labor. use a commercial sauce for the sake of it's convenience and impec- cable flavor. The canned sauce may, of course, have seasonings added as wanted and thinner sauce can be made by diluting 1t with stock or water.
 Canned tomato soup in conner ciaI form is another product that makes a superior sauce for mix lures that are liked highly sea use just as 1t comes from the can. soned. It Is ready to reheat and Other concentrated soups, too. such as chicken. vegetable and meat and vegetable combinations can be used with equal satisfac- tion.
 You will find many of the, table sauces very much worth while In the kitchen, too. A few drops only are needed to give subtle flavor to gravies and sauces, steaks and roasts, salad dressings, vegetable juice cocktails, aspics, croquette IuI4LuEt6 anu NiohSo OA 1'' kinds.
 There Is another preparation that, while it is quite mild in flavor and of comparatively little value as a seasoning, Is decided boon to busy cooks. Pallid gravies and weak looking second-stock soups acquire richness of color by the addition of teaspoonful-more or less as needed-of this sauce which Is made of a very dark cara mel foundation.
 The secret of the richness of flavor which distinguishes dishes made by the professional cook often lies in the use of stock rather than milk or water. Canned con- somme or bouillon are excellent in place of home made stock and are always on hand when wanted. Bouillon cubes and meat extracts also provide a delicious well fla vored stock when dissolved in boil ing water.

 When Bing Crosby. the famous young crooner whose love songs have charmed countless thousands. starts off on tour of the country to appear before his admiring audiences, he is always accom- panied by his combination secre- tary, general manager and dieti- tian. This invaluable and versatile person happens to be his wife, the former Dixie Lee of the motion pictures who gave up her own ambitions to take care of her .ius- band.
 Dixie sees to it that all Bing's affairs run smoothly, that he keeps regular hours, that he eats the proper foods. She knows what foods supply the vitamins, why we need foods like bran than supply the "bulk" required to keep the system functioning properly, why the carbohydrate foods are the great suppliers of energy. Also, and furthermore. she's a good cook. When the opportunity arises

So let's not plume ourselves on our greater economy without Remembering our special culinary advantage--cake flour.
 Cake Hours are specially milled until they are many times finer than ordinary flour. They are made from selected wheat which contains only a small amount of delicate gluten and therefore are quickly responsive to cake 1eavens SO that the most economical cakes are delicately fine in texture.

Ritualistic Tragedy

A human sacrifice to the elephant
god, involving the death of family
of seven persons, has been carried
out at Villupuram (Madras). Police
discovered the bodies of man, his
wife and five children at the foot of
sacred hill temple. Before the clay
idol of the elephant god were found
broken coconuts, burnt camphor and
other offerings, apparently indicating
that the family had performed sac
rificial ritual before offering them.
selves. A letter found is stated to
have contained the consent of the
victims to their sacrifice. 1t is thought
that the father killed his family and
then committed suicide. Poverty is
said to have been the reason for the
tragedy.

Household Closets

Closets are filters of confusion for
articles which would otherwise collect
in rooms. Through the doors the ar
ticles filter to their proper places, pro-
yided persons take the trouble to put
things where they belong. It is for
the h0memaker to decide the most con-
venient closets for different kinds Of
things, and also places in the closets
for the different articles assigned to
them. Where there are few closets 1t
is no light task to plan disposal of
contents in them. One closet will
have to do double duty.
The hall closet should be large
enough to accommodate coats, hats,
rubbers. raincoats, and umbrellas for
the family. A closet under the stairs
with a shelf, or possibly two. for hats
may be feasible when other space is
scarce. Now that the closet can be
lighted with electricity, the darkness,
which used to be barrier to this ar
rangement, can be dispelled.
In the, dining room closet or the but.
ier's pantry there should be plenty
of drawers to provide places for the
table napery to filter into. Without
such drawers or inclosed shelves. the
tablecloths, napkins and all textile
furnishings for the table cannot be
conveniently kept In neat array. The
sideboard drawers help out, but should
not be expected to hold all the napery.
If one lives in an apartment, the din.
ing room linens may be combined with
the other household linens and be kept
on the shelves of the one linen closet.
But a linen closet of some sort is one
of the household necessities for con-
venience and order.

GOOD OLD DAYS
MUCH LIKE OURS
Even Red Tinted Toenails Are
Not New.

The first Sunken bathtub was in
the great bathroom attached to the
palace of Khaiz, with it's four great
sunken circular bath tanks, An

cago Tribune.

AS Beth Hayes, writing in a current
toilet trade magazine tells it, taking
a bath was a rite for which women
and a retinue of slaves prepared with
almost religious fervor, although to
us the performance sounds more like
a pagan's Saturday night.
The slaves had to be dragged into
it, of course, because there would not
have been any water IL they weren't
there to haul it from well or dale, or
wherever they got it. But what would
tickle the tub singer was the nice
warm temperature Of the water and
the choice of perfumes, as imperative
as the water. and the good long hour
or two allotted for the luxurious bath.
If anyone thinks our beach girls
are up and coming on oils for the

any season for this rite in the good
old days of which we speak. AnOint

Indians Look Forward
to End Of Hard Times

young men took up the matter with
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
They asked for an increase In the
price of lead and zinc and for a re-
opening of the mines on their allot-
ments. Now relief has arrived and
the Indians are rejoicing. Which Of

Hit Them Hard.
Here's just how bad things have
been with the Indians:
A prominent young Quapaw play
boy has been reduced to riding in very
small motor cars and former wealthy
Indian woman has had to forget Gus
tom Of giving birthday dinners about
three or four times year to several
hundred relatives and friends. The
price of liquor-due to the inability
of the redskins to pay more, has come
down $3.50 gallon. The price of a
divorce to white woman from an In
dian man is now next to nothing,
whereas few years ago almost any
old Indian was worth $4,000 in the
alimony racket.
While the Indian spenders used to
be the petted ones of Picher and
Miami society, now they are being
thrown into Jail for law violations.
Only few days ago Quapaw speed
er was placed in the Miami Jail be-
cause he ran into dump cart load
of chat and upset it on the highway
and went about his fast driving. A
few years ago he could have paid off
and upset another load Of chat.
On the Devils promenade crew Of
men is working on a public highway
and about half Of them are Indians.

A few years ago when the mines were
all running and the Quapaws were
drawing royalty checks every thirty
days they could not be induced to la
Dor. Now they are compelled to SHOW
Ell gravel for -four and meat.
The Quapaws own about 1000 acres
in the heart of the Pitcher lead and
zinc fields. They have been paid over
100000 in mine royalties and about
$3O0O,000 is held in reserve and doled
out in small sums. Some Of the In
dams do not receive any dole at all
as their mining land has been turned
over to them, without supervision by
the White Father at Washington.
These are the young redskins who ap-
pealed for relief.
Poor at the Start.
When the Quapaws first came to
Oklahoma and settled on the reserva-
ton they were painfully poor. In 1924
ore was found and since then several
million dollars have been thrown away
carelessly. No one can say the In
dams have not done a good job Of
spending. The $4,000 homes in the
clearing, pink porcelain bathtubs, wal
nut radio cases, thick rugs, plate-glass
mirrors, and solid silver table services,
to say nothing Of dozens Of $1,000 mo
tor cars, tell tales of former hilarious
prosperity.
But good times will come again to
the Quapaws, for their lands are not
denuded by any means of lead and zinc.
Prices of ore have risen tremendously
in the last few weeks, so the Indians
are not so deeply bowed in grief they
cannot see rainbow in the sky. Most
of them give the White Father at
Washington credit.

Throws Down Coat,
Wren Builds a Nest

Garden, Mich. - Virgil Winter
threw his coat down on the ground
and left it there while he was
working at some fencing on the
Alex Mellon farm just outside the
village limits the other day. When
he went to get it again few hours
later he found that the garment
had already been appropriated. A
wren had started to build its nest
in one of the pockets. Winter did
not discover what had been going
on until he pulled out a quantity
of nesting material in lieu of some
articles he had expected to find In
the pocket. Most of the latter
were picked up later from the
ground nearby.
