HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Washing Window Shades. -
Soiled window shades may be
washed by spreading each shade
on a fiat surface and then rub
bling it with a clean cloth or sponge
and soapsuds.
Egg Celery Sandwich. - Chop
hard-cooked eggs up fine and sea-
son them with salt and pepper.
Add half as much finely chopped
celery and enough mayonnaise to
make the mixture easy to spread.
For Fried Eggs.-Add eggs to
fat which is hot enough to cause
them to set within a few seconds,
but not hot enough to brown
or tougher them. The top of the
egg may be cooked by dipping
little hot fat over the egg or by
covering the utensil. The addi-
ton of small amount of water to
the hot fat, and covering the pan
Immediately, creates steam which
aids III cooking the eggs.
Polishing Furniture.-That fog
gy appearance on highly polished
furniture can be removed by
sponging with a cloth dipped in
solution of one quart clear water
and two tablespoons of vinegar,
wiping dry with another cloth and
rubbing.
Testing Hot Fat.-To test the
temperature of hot fat for deep
frying, drop a small cube of bread
into the frying kettle. If it browns
in one minute, the temperature IS
right. The frying kettle should
be about half full, never more
than two-thirds. Have a piece of
brown paper, or an absorbent pa
per towel handy on which to drain
the fried food of excess fat.
Save Chicken Fat.-Chicken fat
may be used as butter substi-
tute in cooking. Consequently, it
is a good plan to save the fat
from boiled, stewed or fried
chicken.

testimonial to his training methods.

Keeping Up Old Customs

Roasting Salt

Evaporation by the sun IS one of
the easiest and cheapest methods
of producing salt. In this way re-
fined salt of exceptional chemical
purity is made from the brine of
Great Salt lake in Utah. But this
salt has distinct musty odor when
dissolved in boiling water which
makes it impossible for use by the
butter makers. However, there is a
process which makes the salt edible
by roasting it. When 225 degrees Cen
tigrade of heat is applied the musty
odor disappears.

DORIS DELI
@ Tickle Maidens Are @
2 Long Way From Being Nh
l In Loue!

DEAR DORIS DENE: am eight
- cen and have been seeing one
particular boy regularly. He is quiz
ct, steady and very serious. He is
also jealous of me so that l have
given up all other fellows to please
him. He has no car and we do not
go out very often. / could easily
have lot of dates and could get
around more than do. did care
for this boy but am frankly getting
tired of him now that I see him so
much. Shall I be true to him and
refuse to go out with Others-or
shall I break Off?-A. G.
ANSWER-Obviously you aren't
being true to the steady serious youth
who is Flooding along determined
on marriage. Already you've made
one or two plans for the future
which would shock and grieve the
steady admirer if he could read
your mind.
So why not come right out with
the truth and get it over? The
chances are that you don't want to
part with an absolutely sure thing
in favor of free-lance philander-
ing. But unfortunately you can't
have your freedom and hold on to
a possessive, serious-minded sutton,
too. You must make your choice
and under the circumstances, the
only fair decision is to tell your adj
mirer the straight plain truth.
When a maiden's fancy begins
turning to thoughts of popularity
with SWANS who own cars and go
places and do things-then she is
long way from being in love and
the sooner she advertises the fact,
the more merciful she'll be to the
unfortunates who really love her.
