China had not thought it important to spend
her money on such things when instead she
wanted modern schools, good roads, and new
industries and better government
But they did not for moment consider

moment now that Japan can conquer them
All they ooncede is that they cannot combat
Japan in arms at this time. They must win
by other means. And they know the way to

HINTS TO
HOUSEWIVES

Remember this-the color of an
eggs shell has nothing to do with
it's quality or food value. If dark
colored ones are cheaper. buy
them; they're Just as good as those
with light colored shells.
Baked sliced bananas, spread
with honey and few chopped
nuts. make delicious dessert.
Serve cold or hot. Lemon or orange
sauce is a recommended addition.
When you are at loss for dessert,
take a glass of jelly, whip it frothy
with a fork and use it for covering
squares of cake or drop cakes.
Sprinkle with cocoanut and you have
something with professional touch.
Strained honey is a mighty good
topping for baked ham. Spread half
cup of honey over the ham for the
last 80 minutes of the baking. If
you like a spicy touch, add little
cinnamon and cloves to the honey.
xa
Stuffed eggs, made by mixing the
yolks with chilli sauce, are piquant
garnish for cold meats. Or you can
stuff the eggs with salad dressing
mixed with chopped cooked ham,
diced pickles and just suggestion
of onion.
To keep apples, bananas, fresh
peaches or other salad fruits from
darkening, cover the cut fruit with
French dressing and store in the
refrigerator. AT serving time, mix
them quickly with the other in
gradients.
Now is good time to use up
some of that grape juice you canned
last fall. Use it as the liquid called
for in spring conserves such as
cherry, rhuharb, berry, orange, Sraisin
or date. The grape flavor does a
lot to other fruit and berry flavoKs.
A cottage cheese ring makes a
delicious and ceol-looking mold for
fruit or vegetable salad. Stiffen
well seasoned cottage cheese with
little gelatin or press the cheese
into buttered mold and let stand
III a cold place. ~
