Glycerine Is

Glycerine in cooking is fast be-

ments which seized a gentle pro-
duct and hustled it into the cooking
and baking pot. Actually, the deed
was done by practical, thrifty
housewives over in the British
Isles. They found out that about a
teaspoonful of glycerine added to
the ingredients for a cake would
permit of the cutting down of an
egg here and there while at the
same time would produce cakes
which retained freshness and mois-
ture for much longer period of
time.
Your neighborhood druggist al.
ways carries glycerine in stock. He
uses it to make up functions. Tell
him to give you a little bottle of
the pure glycerine with the "unc.
ton" part left out and try it in
your next cake recipe-about a tea
spoonful for an ordinary amount of
cake ingredients.
Incidentally, it might be inter.
esting to know that glycerine is
nothing but fat which has been re-
fined and refined and distilled and
again refined until in the end there
is nothing left but the purest ele-

out a bit of glycerine. Then one
realizes how it clings to moisture
in fact, it is moisture personifed.

SIDNEY SNOW ,ciH be glad to
GasICer amy questions
on food.
To A Mans Heart
Via The Wine Cellar
by Sidney Snow

There's the poem about the loaf
of bread and you and the jug of
wine-but in this little article,
well think just about the jug of
wine and its place in the modern
home where civilized and modern
living is given due thought and
where moderation in all things is
practised.
Wine is a very, very old bever-
age. For centuries upon centuries,
it has had its proper place along
side of food in the home. To be
properly enjoyed, one must know
something about wine-and how to
use it One should know, most i'm
portantly, about wine in relation
to cooking for the addition of the
right wine in sauces and gravies
brings about q flavor which is the
life Of many an otherwise dull
dish.
But first of all, there must be
proper consideration Of the wine
cellar. OF late years, since the re-
turn Of wine, there has been end.
less loose talking and writing on
this subject. Snug and complacent
nit wits have advanced the idea
that wine cellar, while essential
IN every home, is something that
Runs into great deal of money.
This is all foolishness.
For all ordinary home and fam
dly needs, there should be a shelf
or rack in a dry, well ventilated
cellar or room which most nearly
approximates a cellar, and where
the temperature can be held at
around so to So degrees.
Upon this shelf, there may be
wine in bottles, lying on their sides
so that the corks remain moist. But
for every day family use, the best
thing is little assortment of nice,
inexpensive, wicker wrapped jugs
-one for dry red wine, another for
dry white wine, another for a
sweet dessert wine, another for
tort and another for sherry. Here
rs the family assortment of bever-
age wines which will also do double
duty and serve as cooking wines.
With your little storage space
ready and your jugs on hand, find
a good wine merchant. 1t is prob
ably harder these days to find a
good wine merchant than it is to
Ind good wine. But the good wine
men do exist. The incest seem to
De of Latin origin. They at least
lock the part.
Let such a wine man select for
you gallon jugs of good native
wines-at present you will pay
around a dollar and half to two
dollars a gallon.
Have few neat glass decanters
on hand for table use. Oftentimes
these may be found in second hand
=stores where they are to be picked
UP for few cents. If the second
hand store changes the sign so
that it reads antique Shoppe," the
Eprice will jump to a few dollars.
But it viii be just about the same

In chilling fruits, the juices or

A MIRAGE?

Those who have never
seen the mirage. which
is an optical illusion,
have to use an imagin.
airy vision of its exist
ence.
I recall this illusionary
spectre while We were
coming into the waste
lands in New Mexico last
summer. A beautiful
placid lake appeared in
the midst of a desert,
with verdant trees in the
background waving to
and fro as the waves
on the ocean on a sum-
mer day.
Sore dismay must have
been the fate of the pion-
GERS when they hoped
to reach the GOODNESS of
this phantom only to
find the bliStering sands.

ON MOVIES
BY EARL GOODWIN

Politicians may speak Of the

President Roosevelt has been
described many times as master
hand at political publicity. the
general reference being to news
paper material. But the little

here in Washington say that he

great part to play in letting the
candidates talk to millions sit

The Presidents radio person

machines which take pictures and
record the voice at one and the

President Roosevelt is a deep
student of the news pictures. He
is said to have them at the White
House about once a week. Thurs.
day night is a favorite time for
such entertainment. He sees him
self in the sound pictures when
ever they occur and studies them
for the public effect.
To stand or sit beneath the glare
of the fierce incandescent lights
necessary for the picture is an
ordeal. These lights are what the
public calls "Klieg lights" but
the old Klieg light emitted hiss
ing sound no longer permissible
for the sound pictures as the hiss

Many politicians cannot stand
the heat and glare of the lights
which are exceedingly wearing on
