No Waste In Grapefruit
Candy The Rind And
Plant The Seeds

1t becomes more and more con-
vincing as time goes on that there
really is very little waste in cook
ing. At least there isn't if one has
learned recipes and clever ways to
utilize every little thing. We have
given you recipe preserving wat
ermelon rind which is nearly al
ways discarded. and now here is
recipe for candied grape fruit rind,
so you see, there is use for just
about everything.
CANDIED GRAPE FRUIT RIND
Put grape fruit rind in salt and
water overnight. Cut in strips and
measure. Put in cold water and
boil for twenty minutes. Do this
three times; same amount of sugar
as fruit and very little water; boil
for half an hour or q little longer,
till perfectly tender. Drain syrup
off and dip strips of fruit in sugar
and lay on cloth till cold. Leave
open.

Asparagus Now
At The Height
OF The Season
May Be Prepared In Many
Different Ways-Easiest
Vegetable To Fix

Although asparagus is obtain
able most of the year, it is at it's
best around this time. It is one OF
the best vegetables we have and is
so easily prepared for the table.
Of course, like anything else. one
can go to a great deal of trouble
in preparing it but when prepared
in many of these various ways, one
finds that it was well worth what
ever trouble it might have caused.
ASPARAGUS PATTIES
Clean the asparagus in usual
way, cut in pieces half inch long,
parboil, drain, clean some fresh
mushrooms, cut in dice, saute with
the asparagus in butter; mix with
a little thickened chicken soup and
simmer for ten minutes, season
with salt, pepper and little lemon
juice; fill in small puff paste pat
ties, put in oven and let remain
until very hot; serve with gravy
separate.
ASPARAGUS HOLLANDAISE
Boil, drain on towel, put in oven
to evaporate moisture. Chop very
fine, mix with thick hollandaise
sauce, season with salt, pepper and
a little lemon juice, put away to
get cold; use when wanted.
ASPARAGUS SPANISH STYLE
Boil asparagus until done, drain,
Poach eggs in same water after a
little vinegar has been added.
Spread the asparagus out on a
platter or large vegetable dish;
place poached eggs on top.

From Prehistoric Ages Down
Well Balanced Meals Find Favor
Make 1t Your Business To Serve Crunchy, Munchy
Foods With Steaks, Chops And Hard Foods
Sidney Snow

Skookum Wallapi, the prehistor-
ic cave man ancestor of some OF
our best families, beckoned to one
of the women of his menage, who
promptly tossed him a sizable joint
of the roasted meat Of recently
killed wild boar. The meat was
tender and oozed pleasant juices,
but Skoodum Wallapi was not con-
tented. He beckoned again and this
time another woman tossed him a
cabbage-young and firm and
plump and hard. Skookum bit out
a huge mouthful and with a SNUG
expression of happiness, crunched
and munched the crisp vegetable
as it mixed and mingled with the
tender, juicy bits of pig.
Coming on down through the
ages methods of eating have
changed and table manners have
improved according to present day
understanding. But the underlying
appetite appeal is the same and
the primitive conception of food
mixture still holds good. That is
why, to this day, the human ami
NAL likes a crisp salad with a ten
der bit of roasted meat-or cob
of good corn alongside of broiled
steak. The fried potato is the
true companion Of the well roasted
pork and the dish of sauer-kraut-
not the mashed potato, as one
often sees upon thoughtlessly set
tables. And so nature suggests the
crisp slices of well broiled bacon
with our eggs, the dish of sailed
nuts with the game course and the
Waldorf salad in the middle of a
banquet meal. The reason for the
popularity of celery becomes evil
dent and the excuse for pickles and
olives assumes new Importance.
Once we realize the influence of
the ancient heritage upon present
food likes and dislikes, the planning
and the ordering of meal COM
mence to take shape and form.
The sport which the crunchy food
item should occupy becomes plain
and the all around satisfaction of
the meal is increased.
The crisp biscuit or wafer with
the soups and stews, the we'll
crusted hard roll or loaf of French
or Italian bread with the ragout
or creamy entree become neces-
stiles instead of merely incidents
and the crisp, fresh, green salad
assumes a place Of greater import
ance than the suggestion that rab-
bit food is good for one"

between the stove and the ironing
board, all they need do was remove
the cord when the iron became to
hot. But even that was several
years ago and today, when we
want to iron we simply pull an
ironing board from the wall, bring
out an attractive stainless iron
with an attractive cord, connect the
iron and set the heat control for
the temperature required by what
ever material we are ironing with
out the slightest worry that the
heat Is too great and the material
win burn. OF course, it is ueces-
airy to know which materials re-
quire high temperature and which
take q low temperature but that
has been necessary since the days
