Fluffy, golden brown biscuits put pep into any commonplace meal, whether it be breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sometimes just this one crisp touch makes an otherwise prOsaic combination of foods into a, company dinner, providing. of course. the biscuits are top-notch.
 Perfect biscuits depend almost Entirely on the shortening used, and the manipulation of the dough. . No other fat will give the high Shortening power of lard for biscuit making, and when you select the 1ew process lard which has been texturated to make 1t doubly smooth and plastic, you have in- creased your chances of success still farther. This new lard has been proven to mix into the flour sn double quick time, lessening with every cutting stroke, the ef- fort and time needed for making the biscuits.
 One of the inexpensive wire pas- try blenders does wonders toward speeding up the process of mixing biscuits, too. A few delft strokes and the texturated lard is broken into small even pieces throughout the flour and salt. It's interesting to note, too, that it's not advisable to cut the fat too small for 1t is the small pockets for air and fat that form when the biscuits bake that make them fluffy and tender.
 eEvaporated milk, diluted half and half with water should be added all at one time and stirred in ever so lightly, just enough to moisten the flour. This bumpy, un- even dough may be kneaded lightly for not more than half minute on a floured board and is then ready to cut. All this process takes place in the space of five or six minutes only. Last but not least, be sure to pat the dough out for cutting rather than rolling it. The rolling pin usually gives too strong pressure on such tender dough.
 And, don't forget that there's just as much chance for variety and interest in biscuits as in any single food item. From this one simple recipe comes the basis for quick coffee cake, fruit rolls. short cake, tea breads and crusts for meat pies or cobblers.
 & Biscuit dough may be patted out, spread with jam, orange juice and sugar, ground dried fruit and nuts, or cinnamon and sugar, and rolled likO a jelly roll. Slices of this, cut an inch thick, are baked like separate biscuits and make perfect breakfast breads.
 Even for very dainty tea, bis cults have their place. Cut with a tiny biscuit cutter. with preserved

PLEASING THE MAN
He'll Like These CheeSed Onions

It may bN true that he has bar. barrie tastes when it comes to cer- tain foods. strong cheeses, for example; such so-called delicacies as pickled pigs feet, goulash and ragouts. But some of these favor ite foods are very sane and health full, when measured by dietary standards; and most all of them are exceedingly tasty.
 Take the mans fondness for cheese and onions; a wholesome meal is bound up in these two items which the cookbooks com bine in a number of different ways Have you ever tried baking sweet onions with liberal grating of cheese over the top? Slice large round Bermuda or Spanish onions in rather thin wheels, lay them flat on a buttered pan, sprinkle well with salt, paprika and grated American cheese. Cook in the oven until onions are done and cheese is melted and Drowned. Serve as a supper dish. with toasted bacon sandwiches, and cof- fee or beer.
 And you have made the &C., quaintance of
 Baked Cheese TriangIes
 Cut bread into slices one-half inch thick, toast lightly on both sides, trim crusts and cut into tri- angles. Spread with a little French mustard, dip in melted butter, sea- soned with a little onion juice, then roll in grated cheese; sprinkle with salt, pepper and a speck of cayenne. Place in a hot oven for a few minutes to soften the cheese. Serve at once, on a hot dish. These triangles may be made quite small and served as hot canapes; or they may be larger, and served as you would sandwiches. with beer.

Blasting The Roast With
 Natural Pineapple Juice
By Jane Rogers

Good cooks know that the flavor of meat dishes and sauces can he greatly enhanced and made more ,appetizing by the use of fruit and fruit juices. Even an ordinary cook knows that nearly all fish should be served with lemon, that a pork roast just isn't a pork roast without applesauce, and that 8 roast turkey isn't roast turkey without cranberry jelly.
 However, the use of natural fruit juices in basting meats and the making of sauces to serve with vegetables etc, is not so well known. And that is a pity, for many housewives and cooks are missing praise and compliments

KITCHEN COMMENTS

Make as much use as you can of paper dishes for storing foods like fruit, tomatoes, lef overs of meats and fowl wrapped in waxed paper, cake, rolls and any food that is protected by cellophane. A good deal of dishwashing may be saved
 by this method of putting. things away in the refrigerator or pantry.

A few drops of blueing anda few drops of ammonia added to the saopsuds in which glassware Is to be washed will give the glass a sparkling luster and make 1t much easier to dry. Be sure to use a lint-free mloth for wiping glasses. A tissue paper rub after drying will free the glass from streaks.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-03-15

Hamburger patties are much im- proved by the use of one beaten egg and handful of breadcrumbs added when mixing them. If you do not like the taste of chopped onion, use a few drops of onion 1uice-just enough to give a slight flavor. Or add a teaspoon or two of finely minced parsley.

Always have handy a screw top jar to be used as a mixer for the many things that are better mixed by vigorous shaking, such as French dressing, flour and water or milk to sauces, mixed dry ingredients, etc.

New And Old
Styles For
Circus Day

El Centre fathers of juveniles
probably wondered today if that
expression, "the good old days"
really meant as much as they
sometimes think it does
In the good old days" when
the circus came to town. the
youngsters played hockey from
school, lugged water all morning
for the elephants, saw the after
noon performance and, arriving
home late and tired, were prob
ably treated to a tanning. There
might have been another tanning
next day at school.
Today Ell Centro schools went on
short hour basis, so the young
sters could see the Al G.. Barnes
show without jeopardizing their
attendance records. Noon recess
was cut to 80 minutes and the per-
iods otherwise shortened so that
school sessions could close at 1:30.
The youngsters no doubt didn't
have to lug water for the ele-
plants, pop supplying the money
for admission.
Pop" is probably wondering
which is the better, the old system
or the new. 1t is question as
open to debate as which was first
the hen or the egg.

of the $50 campaigns of welfare
organizations scheduled for this
autumn"
The President said it was es-
sential to restore public welfare
work to its 1929 status.
Purchasing Power Greater
due to steps taken by the Unit
ed States government to save
homes and farms, in its loans to
industry. banks and railroads and
other activities our purchasing
power has greatly risen since the
low point of 1892" Mr.. Roosevelt
observed.
"It means that the nation as a
whole is better able to assume its
duties to private charities than it
has in the last six long years. That
is an important selling argument to
be used on the nation
The President pointed out the
necessity of private industry shar-
| ing its burdens of relief, remark
ing that the federal government
was withdrawing as rapidly as pos
sible from the field of private home
relief.
THE great mass of private en-
ployers must again greatly help the
economic situation by offering en-
ployment to the limit of their abil-
ity," he said.
Citing the special work done by
the mobilization for human needs,
Mr.. Roosevelt observed that such
services could not be assumed to
be responsibility of federal gov
ernment as their very nature con
signs them to private agencies"
He touched on the social secur-
ity program and added that its
leaders were about ready to under
take the task of spreading the
gospel" of care for the aged, unem-
ployment insurance and the coop
Grafton of states in caring for wild
oWS and children.
I'm the years to come" he said,
the social security program will
be considered one of the greatest
steps ever taken by the American
people"

PITS IN SOF I
COAL FIELDS
BY LYLE A. BROOKOVER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. - The
nations Soft-coal mines were shut
down peacefully today as union
leaders and operators narrowed
their controversy over new wage
and hour contracts.
Officials of the United Mine
Workers estimated that upwards
of 100000 miners quit work on ord
ers of President John L. Lewis be-
cause the contracts under which
they had been working expired at
midnight.
They claimed the entire country
would be brought to stop.
Because negotiations have not
been broken off, the union leaders
were making no particular effort
to rally enthusiastic support OF
demonstrations in the coal fields
They preferred not to regard the
situation as a strike, but merely as
cessation of work pending con-
tract renewal.
President Roosevelt, back from
Hyde F1ark, was keeping in touch
with the situation. There was still
the possibility of presidential inter
vention, but for the time being Mr.
Roosevelt was represented as being
reluctant to take a direct hand.
Edward F. McGrady, assistant
secretary of labor who has beer
acting for the administration In
trying to bring the warning groups
together, called at the White House
soon after the Presidents return
He told newspapermen he had comt
to see Marvin H. Mcintyre, the
Presidents appointment secretary
He went directly to McIntyres off
ice.
When McGrady left, Mcintyre
insisted he had sought no appoint
ment for himself or others and hac
not even mentioned coal.
The negotiations in progress ap-
ply directly to the Appalachian
field, where the U. NJ. w. claims
325,0O0 members. But contracts il
other districts also have expired
and work ordered stopped.
