On The Pantry Shelf

When mixing liquids and solids, always stir the liquid into the solid, adding a little at a time and mixing thoroughly after each ad- dition. When adding cornstarch, arrowroot or any starchy thicken- ing agent to hot liquid, first miz it with enough cold water or milk to make a thin, smooth paste; then pour it slowly into the hot liquid, stirring constantly until thickened and perfectly smooth.
 To make bread crumbs for fried foods, grate the crumbs directly from the loaf of stale bread and the crust will have more delicate color than when dried crumbs are used. Dried crumbs are better for juicy dishes such as escalloped recipes. Crumbs for the tops oi dishes should be mixed with melt ed butter over the fire instead oi being applied dry, with dots oi butter added afterward.
 Never wash sieves or colanders in soapy water which may collect in the little holes or netting and cause the food to. taste it. Scrub these utensils with a stiff brush and very hot water, using g little soda, if desired.
 Wine cookery makes necessary 8 little adjustment in the matter ot seasoning, as wines increases the taste of salt. Therefore, do not season the dish in which wine is used until after the wine has been added. More salt can always be used, if needed; too much of il cannot be remedied.

Normal Diet Causes
 Many Controversies
Democrat Expert Believes There Is One and Advise: I Liberal Amount of Milk, Fruit and Vegetables

We believe that there is o normal diet, one that will keep the individ- ual in good health, will build reserve for the future, and enable him to carry on daily activities without digestive disturbances. For this normal diet we must not listen to the many faddists who uphold one food or another, but to the specialist in the field of nutrition. Although these have slight disagreementS. their general principles are similar. They agree that there are basic pro- tective foods needed by all, but that the normal diet of one individual will differ. little from that ot another.
 In spite of the fact that Irving Cobb maintains that the only hting all nutritionists recommend is spin. ach, we find that their fundamental ideas are. the. same. They all agree that 8 liberal use of dairy products is fundamentally important to good health. Fruits and vegetables also are considered necessary, as well as whole grained cereal products. When these foods have been supplied, the normal. diet. of every individual may be worked out in the way most satisfactory [ ohim. It should always be remembered, of course, that these specialists are referring to peeople In reasonably good health, not those who have ailments which require the selection of food by physician
 Faddism does not enter into the work of specialists. So we might all judge as did Henry Ford when he said, 50 many. nutritionists can't be wrong" Take their advise and use liberal amounts of milk, the most nearly perfect food" supple. ment with fruits and vegetables ana then add the other things needeo and desired by each individual.

wants something new and differ ent, preferably not too irksonne to prepare and, if possible, not too ex- pensive.
 The above tray of canapes was prepared with all these in mind. The basis for all of them is spiced ham.,b but combined with other in- gredients in such 8 way as to provide completely different taste sensations. Spiced ham was chosen for its several distinct advantages over the more usual boiled variety. It has no waste, has 8 slightly tangy flavor, and can be cut in wafter-thin slices with 8 ordinary sharp knife. One can of ham was the basis for the whole tray of cocktail snacks illustrated.
 The following are the recipes used, reading from upper left down diagonally.

Do You
 Know That: :.

All green vegetables should be boiled in open kettles, as high heat destroys their fresh color. This method is much better than the ex- pedient of adding soda to spinach or beans for the purpose of keeping them green.
 Cereals which are left over should be saved and added next day to the fresh stock; they are all the better for longer cooking, and do not spoil the texture or flavor of the new supply. Or mold leftover cereals into patties, fry until brown on both sides and serve with curls of bacon.
 Meat should never be washed in water. Clean it by rubbing it with a wet cloth, or by scraping the entire surface with sharp knife. Always keep the cover On the kettle when meat is cooking; otherwise much of the flavor escapes with the steam.
 Do you know that the old theory that hot breads cause indigestion was exploded long ago? This isn't

FOOD. PLEASING THE MAN

One nice thing about Llle UUaSVSA that toasts the entire SandWicn, filling and all, is that you can make your sandwiches up ahead Of time. choosing types of filling that are better for being heated. Cheese ana chopped ham are two such filings. Diced bacon and egg mixed with mayonnaise is another. Sandwich es which are to be toasted whole may be buttered either on the in- side or the outside. Tn either case the melting or the frying in of the butter during the toasting process gives them a distinctive and most delicious flavor.

(NBh berviCe ptam WrbVerD A new permanent wave and Q new haircut are the first steps toward Q fail colfEure that has more curls than waves. If your hair is to stay in place between visits to the beauty shop, you need Q permanent on the ends at least, and Q cut that follows the iino of your head and removes weight which pulls waves downward
 Better plan 6 few recondltioning treatments before you make an ap. pointment to get Q permanent. If you have been brushing in hAps hazard fashion, or not ct ell, plan to exercise hair and scalp with Q good brush each night and again in the morning.
 If your hair iB dry and lifeless, 90 in for hot oil treatments. The night before you intend to sham poo, simply massage warm olive oil into your scalp and leave 1t on until morning. If you have excessively oily hair, brush vigorously and use Q tonic to correct the troublesome condition. Don't worry too much about this. A really good operator can give you wave which will tend to make your hair less oily.
 Speaking of operators, don't un. deregtimato the importance of c conscientious, experienced one. Tho method or type of lotion should be considered, of course, but not aB seriously aS the man who does the actual winding and watches the heat regulator.
 Don't ask for . six month guar. antee. It is better to have four loose, good waves per year than two which dry and break your shining tresSeg.

 Sometimes the pain is 50 severe that the person attacked is unable to remain quite. In such cases large doses of morphine usually arc injected.
 A doctor should be called immo- diately upon occurrence of such symptoms because of their impor- tance as q warning signal of dan ger to life itself,
 Sometimes, in association with an attack of this sort, tho patient be- comes acutely sick and VomitS. He may be short of breath, his pulse will slow down, and his blood pres sure will fall.
 This type of heart attack must be distinguished from the usual at. tack of angina pectoris, In cor. onary thrombosis the pain will per- s ev.l | the person Is put at rest, and 1t Is not usually RsSo- eiated with any sudden previous ex- ertion,
 The pain of an attack of angina pcctoris usu. " appears after some eSer lon, or something that throws extra strain the heart,
 If the person with coronary thrombosis is put to bed imme- diNtely and Is given proper care, he frequently survives the attack and nay even recover completely.
 Cases are known in which the C2mage to the heart tissue is grad ually overcome by the processes of repair which take place in living tissue, After suitable scar has formed, the patient Is able to get up and go back to work.
 After a few days in bed, the pain will become less intense, the blood pressure will begin to rise again, tho ShortneSs of breath will be re- lieved, Then, after a month or two in bed, depending on severity of the attack, the patient is considered recovered,
 There are Instances, however, in which the symptoms persist and In which severe pain comes on with any effort. There remains also the possibility of another attack at some later date, although large numbers of patients recover and have no other return of this con- dition.
