They require little preparation, combine well with other foods and with their spicy flavor make a simple menu appetizing. They are economical. They are nutritious for they. contain the high quality protein and other food elements of meat. Frankfurters need only to be xthoroughly heated, for they are already cooked. They are usually simmered in water, but they may also be broiled. If cooked in water, frankfurters never should be ale lowed to boil. Cook them below the boiling point. .. DINNER MENU

 Recipes That Vary the Menu
BY BERNICE BRETT

 Well knowing the tonic properties of tomatoes and paying full tribute still to tomato cocktails and salads, we may also carry our appreciation a little further and vary the usual service of this vegetable to suit the new season.
 Tomatoes on toast :. ;. appetizing as well as healthful, energizing as well as fulfilling our hopes for a satisfying luncheon. They will never be better than right at this time, when fine large, full ripened toma- toes are to be had almost for the asking.
 Plain Tomato Toast
 Let us start with the simplest
 form of all, plain stewed toma- toes on hot buttered toast. Scala red tomatoes and peel them, cut in quarters, place in a saucepan with SeasoningS of salt, sugar and pep per to taste; bring to boiling point, add one tablespoon of butter; blend one tablespoon of butter with one teaspoon or more of flour and use to thicken tomatoes to the con- sistency of cream gravy; the amount of flour to be used depends on whether tomatoes are excessively juicy or only normally so. Let cook for a few moments, then serve over rounds of hot buttered toast. If you like the flavor of onions, add to the tomatoes one teaspoon of onion juice or finely grated onion.
 Fried Tomatoes With Eggs on Toast
 Heat two tablespoons butter in a pan and in it fry slices of tomato which have been coated with flour seasoned with salt, pepper and sugar. While tomatoes are brown ing, toast French bread, trim crusts, butter the slices and cut in tri- angles; place on hot plates and cover with hot scrambled eggs. Place rounds of tomato on top of eggs on toast, sprinkle with finely minced parsley, pour little of the tomato butter around and serve at once. Tomatoes. Corn and Cheese on Toast

able fashion. Nothing pegter nor more economical for the first Sunday night supper to be served indoors.
 At first thought, this claim for economy may not be apparent. Oysters for cooking are, rarely less than 35a or 40 cents 8 dozen; {; little more for the larger sizes. But when compared with the price per pound for chicken, lamb chops of fillet mignon, or even canned crab meat or lob- ster, 1t is not at all out of line.
 For one thing, it is not neces- cary to serve much that matters in addition to the oysters. They make . verH good impression all by themselves. Thus, when we serve fried oysters for supper, guests are contented with their simple but logical accompani- 11ent Y. a very good cole slaw, which is least expensive of the sa- lads. They do not care greatly what the dessert is. Their five or six crisp, fluffy fried oysters, with the salad, plain rolls and coffee have provided all the food interest and food value required.
 Oysters en RrOchette
 An economical way of serving oysters is to arrange. them on 8 skewer, alterating a large oyster with a square of bacon sliced not too very thin, until four of the oysters have been used. There should be a piece of bacon at the beginning and the ending of the skewer. Sprinkle with little salt and pepper and broil until the ba- con curls. Serve on toast with melted butter, paprika and minced parsley poured over. This makes an ideal Sunday night supper dish Oysters Baked i'm Cream
 Another delicacy is this dish of oysters baked in cream and served with hot .buttered rice balls and simple salad of inexpensive mixed greens. Heat one cup of cream with the peel from half a lemon. Re- move peel and add one tablespoon of sherry. and salt and pepper to taste. In 8 baking dish place one pint of oysters; pour the hot cream oyer them, sprinkle with grated cheese and bread crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven for about half an hour.
 Plain. creamed oysters heated un- fil the edges are curled, then cov- cred with cream sauce add one doz- en medium sized mushrooms, which have been sauted until tender in butter; heat. thoroughly but do not cook. season with salt, white pepper and . dash of cayenne. Serve over toast or in patty shells. For sup per service, with this pate a to- mato skinned. hollowed out, chilled and filled with diced cucumbers, celery and tomato meat with French dressing and topped with a spoonful of mayonnaise will fur- dish the only other food needed for the main course. Place the toma- to on a bed of crisp cress or curly lettuce leaf and garnish with stuff ted olives.

Kitchen Comments

Nothing equals the hot and cold treatment for loosening the tops of fruit jars and olive bot ties. Place first under the hot water faucet or immerse in boil ing water then dip quickly in wa ter as cold as possible. This pro- duces almost instantaneous con- traction and the cap can bme loos- ened without effort.
 To speed up the defrosting of your automatic refrigerator, fill the ice pans with boiing water as soon as the current is turned off.
 The warmer the weather the more difficult it is to keep cheese without having it dry out or be- come oily. Try wrapping loaf cheese in a cloth that has been wrung out of vinegar, and place the cheese in a cool, dry place.
 Cake is not necessarily stale be- cause it has dried out. You can restore its moist freshness by wrap ping it in a damp cloth and setting the cake in moderately warm oven until the cloth is dry,

The Suffrage Association, Mr.
