Preparation in Advance
Among Good Points
of Dish.

When fish, broiled. fried or baked
becomes too familiar on the menu,
yet substitutes seem difficult to find.
it Is well to know this trick Of varia-
ton.
Fish in lemon sspic looks different
and tastes different, since 1t gains
added EAST from the lemon flavor
This is an excellent dish to serve
when there is time for little or no
last-minute preparation. for this
recipe may be prepared in the
morning or even the day before you
serve it.
Put two tablespoons of gelatine in
one-quarter cup cold water.
Ado one and one-quarter cups
hot water, one-quarter teaspoon
salt, one tablespoon sugar, six table
spoons lemon juice. Cool, then add
one and one-half cups Of cooked
faxed fish.
Turn into a mold that has been
rinsed in cold water. Chill, remove
from mold decorate with parsley ana
lemon. Service with tartate sauce.

Mint LEAVES
SERVE MOLLY
AS FLAvORINC
Sauces, JeIIies and Drinks
Given New ZeSt by
Green Leaves.

Amateur cooks should see to it
that every family shall have its
share in cooling drinks and those
mint sauces and jellies that do so
much to pep up what might other
wise be an ordinary meal.
This same spearmint that is called
mint and that looks so thrilling IN
a tall glass of limeade or mint julep
was considered good enough to be
used for money in Bible times, when
mint. anise and cumin" was put
into the Treasury.
1t takes only a little of the mod
ern wealth of mint to add incom-
parable flavor to jelly or sauce for
the meat course. A handful of
leaves will flavor and color six
glasses of jelly-cook in apple jelly
for the final 10 minutes. And it
takes less than that TO make mint
sauce for the family.
These recipes are from Dorothy
Myerson's new Homemakers' Hand
book, just published by WhittleSey
House, an unusually fine cook book.
For a summer refreshment she
suggests fresh pineapple cut in
small cubes, sprinkled with salt and
mixed with crushed mint leaves.
Temperance Julep
This is good drink to serve with
summer dinner. Crush several mint
leaves in a tall glass. Add one tea
spoon lemon juice. one tablespoon
powdered sugar and one-quarter cup
of boiling water Add crushed ice,
fill the glass with ginger ale and
decorate with fresh mint leaves.
Mint Jelly for Lamb
Chop one bunch of mint and cook
rapidly in two and-one-half cups
boiling water. Add one cup sugar

CANNED FOOD
SPOILACE CAN
Be PREVENTED
Proper Processing Gives
Assurance of Good Keep
inc Quality.

Canning fruits and tomatoes so
they will keep is comparatively easy
for anybody VINO knows anything
about canning.
Canning vegetables. however, is
quite another story. II you have
put in midsummer days canning
fresh sweet corn. and then have
had to throw away precious quarts
Of your product when you opened
some for dinner in winter you know
how this is
Cream style corn. especially. is DIFF
flcult TO can so that it viii keep.
Often there is trouble keeping lima
beans, peas. sucCotash. asparagus,
spinach or okTa.
Why? The answer, nine times
out of ten, Is in faulty processing.
This step in canning operations
comes after you have packed the
cans.
Even though you heated the food
thoroughly before it went into the
cans and packed it boiling hot, as
the Bureau Of Home Economics ad-
vises for all foods, and considers
absolutely necessary for non-acid
vegetables-even then. to be sure of
killing the bacteria and other or
gsnisms which might cause the food
TO spoil, you heat the filed cans
again. This final heating of the
food IN the cans is called processing.
Methods Differ
There are different ways of proc
essing. For fruits and tomatoes set
the cans, after they are filled, on a
rack in boiling water and keep
them there until they are boiling
hot all through.
But this water-bath method is
not recommended for corn or peas
or any other non-acid vegetable. To
can these you must have more than
boiling temperature, and the only
way you can get it is by holding
them under pressure, whcih means
you need a steam pressure cooker.
The bureau goes so far as to say
that if you do not have a steam
pressure cooker you might better
dry your corn and beans and peas
and okra than try to can them.
These foods are harder to sterilize
than acid foods. One reason is that
bacteria which are killed at boiling
temperature in acid foods can live
in boiling temperature n non-ac1d
foods.
Another reason is that some non
acid foods have such a dense struc-
ture or such a pasty consistency
that heat penetrates them very
slowly. 1t takes a long time to heat
corn and beans clear through And
if your vegetables are not rightly
processed they spoil. The bacteria,
unchecked or only partly checked,
get in their work, unknown to you,
perhaps. until you open the can to
use the contents. These bacteria
may even produce a Kind of spoil
age that is very dangerous to
health.
Gives High Temperature
The steam pressure cooker gives
you the high temperatures you need
for processing non-acid vegetables.
1t is a strong kettle with a heavy
lid that can be clamped down to
hold IN the steam, under pressure
sufficient to produce tiIe right tenn
perature.
1T is provided with a pressure
gauge, an air outlet with a pet
cock, and safety valve.
You put your jars or your cans of
vegetables in the cooker on a rack
over Just enough boiling water to
make steam, clamp down the lid
and regulate the pressure and the
temperature according to directions
which come with the cooker.

GIVE ZEST TO COOKING
FlavOrs Including Lemon, Onion
and Garlic Recommended.

Any woman can put sparkle in
her cooking and in the eyes of those
who eat if she will flavor foods
discreetly.
Lemon, onion and garlic are the
standby flavorings that add zest to
cooking. Beginning with these one
can go on no end. into the realm
of herbs and seasonings.

Wilted Greens Crisped

Did you every try bringing wilted
salad greens back to a state of pris-
tine freshness by letting green's
stand for a while in a pan of cold
water to which a little vinegar has
been added? A pinch of salt in the
water in which you wash the cab
bage will make it crisper for slaw
or salad, too.

FROZEN COFFEE SERVED
Cubes Offered for First Time in New
York Hotel.

Cubes of iced coffee instead of
little hunks of ice are the things
that are being dropped into iced
coffee this season, and that is why
this delightful beverage tastes even
better than it ever did before.
Stephen Masuras, manager of the
coffee shop at Essex House, New
York, is credited with being the
first to perfect this method of max
ing iced coffee.

plant and slice it as thin as possible.
Pile thes Ices on plate, put a
plate on top of the pile and a

an hour, pouring off the water that
drains out. Then dip each slice in
egg, roll in cracker crumbs and fry
in deep fat. Each slice should be
brown and crisp.

BUTLER FASCIST"
STORY IS PROBED
Department of Justice Dis
closed Investigating in
House Report.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Justice Department was dis
closed today TO be investigating testi-
mony before a congressional commit-
tee that Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler,
U. S. M. c., retired. had been asked to
lead Fascist" army in this country.
That disclosure was made by Chair
man Mccormack as his special Com
mittee on "Un-American Activities"
submitted a report to the House touch
ing on that purported incident.
Butler told the committee months
ago that such a proposition was made
to him by Gerald C. MacGuire of New
York. Yesterday the committee re-
ported:
"MacGuire denied these allegations
under oath. but your committee was
able to verify all the pertinent state
ments made by Gen. Butler, with the
exception of the direct statement sug-
costing the creation Of the organiza-
ton.
This, however, was corroborated in
the correspondence of MacGuire with
his principal, Robert Sterling Clark
of New York City, while MacGuire
was aboard studying the various forms
of veterans organizations of Fascist
character"
Asked whether that report upheld"
Buffers story, committee members
declined to comment further.
At the same time, Undersecretary
Phillips said State Department in
vestigation Of charges of Fascist ac-
tivities by the Italian vice consul at
Detroit was nearing completion. But
neither the State Department nor the
Mexican Embassy would comment on
the committees assertion that 1t had
received reports Of interference BY q
Mexican consul at San Bernardino,
Calf, with religious practices Of
Americans.
The committee said the evidence on
the latter case had been turned ever
to the State Department and assur-
ances given that IAN immediate in
Quiry will be made"

HOPKINS RULED OUT
ON CHILDREN'S AID
House Committee Tentatively
Decides Relief Head Is Al.
ready Too Busy.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee has decided tentatively that
Harry L. Hopkins, the relief admins
traitor, should not have anything to
do with the care of dependent chill
dren under the social security plan.
Officially, the explanation was that
he had too much to do already and
that his present job would expire
soon but the aid to dependent chill
dren would continue indefinitely.
Unoficially, however, some members
expressed the belief that Hopkins
might have been little more liberal
than the Governments credit would
stand.
The same argument was advanced
earlier in the week. when the COM
mittee took out of his hands admin
istration of old-age pensions and put
it, like the dependent children Sec
tion. under a new social insurance
board. Both changes will be sub
mitted to President Roosevelt for
approval.
Besides the Hopkins change the
committee decided that the s25, ,0OO,-
600 the bill carries for aid To depend
ent children should be disbursed on
a maximum Federal contribution of
not more than s6 a month tor the
first child plus 81 for each additional
child.
