1nCooking
OfHans
Many Do Not Need
Boiling Before
Being Baked .
By Edith M. Barber

It Is not often that we reorganize
our standard methods for cooking
any staple food. The last few years
have brought US something new In
the line of ham cookery.
The hams which were on the mar
ket a few years ago demanded boil
ing before baking. Most Of those
available today may be baked with
out boiling. During the process Of
smoking, they have been treated IN
such a way that the nbers have be
come tender.
When you buy a whole ham the
directions for cooking it are at
tached. II you purchase half q
ham. be careful 10 look on the label
Of the whole ham and scan the
directions. Let me suggest that you
follow these exactly and do not cut
the time allowance even If the ham
seems tender before the whole Pc
Rod has lapsed.
A country" ham or an rmcooked
Smithfeld ham will need soaking
and boiling. The latter demands
. much longer soaking.
Whether you bake or boil your
ham, you will probably wish to glaze
1t for table service. After the meat
is tender the skin should be removed
and the upper surface spread with
mustard and brown sugar before a
final baking of half an hour or more
In addition to the sugar and mus
tard mixture fruit juice or cider may
be poured around the ham and then
used for basting.
Sliced canned pineapple, halved
spricots or slices of orange may be
attached to the surface with tooth
picks before the meat is put into
the oven. Whole cloves are often
used to stud the ham after 1t has
been made ready for the oven. The
housekeeper always welcomes the
leftover meat which she will have
when she buys q whole ham. Sug-
eestions for It's use follow:
HAM AND PEPPER HASH.
Z tablespoons butter.
/ cup minced green pepper.
u cup minced onion.
2 cups minced cooked ham.
3 cups diced cooked potatoes.
/ cup tomato juice.
Melt butter, add green pepper and
onion and cook until tender. Add
ham, potatoes and tomato juice and
mix well. Add salt to taste. Brown
in pan or bake in a moderate oven,
$50 degrees Fahrenheit, about Is
minutes. Yield, six servings.
BAKED EGGS SAVORY.
Z cups ground cooked ham.
! cup grated American cheese.
6 eggs.
Butter.
Pepper.
Combine ham and cheese, line
creased large muffin pans, using
two-thirds of the mixture. Break
an egg carefully into each cup,
sprinkle with remaining ham mix
t,re, dot with butter and sprinkle
with pepper. Bake in moderately
hot oven, 400 degrees Fahrenheit,
about Is minutes, until eggs are set.
Yield, six servings.

Why pull up on the hand brake

On some cars long engagement of
the hand brake, especially with a
drop in temperature, will encourage
leakage of hydraulic fluid at the
rear brake cylinders.
1t is possible merely to skim over

hill, waste Niagara of oil by caus-
ing lubricant to suck up into the
cylinders. Traffic is a constant
source of excessive wear on car,
and much OF such congestion can be
avoided.
In effecting the broader savings
give serious thought to the follow
ing:
Have the car fabricated more fre-
quently. That will do more than
anything else to save expensive
repairs.
Keep polishing and waxing the
body.
Get expert advice on the best
method for rotating the particular
tires on your car.
Use only the hydraulic brake fluid
recommended for your car.
Check Floor Pedals.
See that the clutch pedal has an
inch of travel before the clutch starts
to disengage. The brake pedal
should have at least 2 inches of
reserve That is, the pedal should
not go nearer than 2 inches to the
toeboard.
Don't try to save by using such a
lean mixture that the engine hasn't
normal power in high.
Keep the oil clean. Due to short
runs there will be more diluent In
the oil during restricted motoring.
Be particular about ignition tim

been thoroughly tested to prove
their worthlessness. Recent tests
have shown that breaker points
may be efficient even though their
surfaces are pitted. Discovery was

Vital as they may be. fuel and
rubber are not the whole story of
saving the American automobile for
necessary use and for emergencies.
A definite need is seen for saving
the entire car, curbing the many
forms of waste which are current
even with rationed gas and tires.
Those who are close to the pic
rue point out that the motorist
who is able to make his present car
last for a long time is making a
greater contribution to the war
effort than one who merely saves
gas or spares his tires but who is
careless enough to hasten the need
for major repairs. This applies to
those who are putting their cars
away for the duration or for tenn
porary layups, many such owners
failing to take the extra precautions
needed to keep their property from
deteriorating rapidly.
A long-term view of the situation
Is suggested as means of coping
with it. The program of savings
must be we'll balanced An increase
in brake lining wear, as result
Of the impractical plan of saving
gas by coasting. is likely to be the
penalty for present lack of balance
In attacking the problem of saving.
Some motorists have thinned out
the mixture so much they are find
ing it necessary to shift gears more
frequently. That means overwork-
ing the clutch.
Protective Service.
Due to difficulties in starting, and
to excessive stalling, batteries and
starters are being overworked where
lean mixtures are used. Such mix
lures also make for hotter flame
and thus tend to burn the valves.
The struggle for miles per gallon
may throw everything out of bal
ance, with the result that the sum
total of ones efforts to save may
be a definite loss. Any loss of
transportation facilities today is a
brake on the war effort.
Protective devices on modern cars,
II maintained in efficient condition,
can do much to save in the broader
sense demanded by war. Take en-
gine wear, for instance. There is an
oil filter to keep the oil clean and to
prevent abrasion from increasing
friction, but unless the cartridge is
removed from time to time as
needed this protection ceases. The
way to make sure that oil still is
circulating through the cartridge is
to feel the filter shell when the
engine Is running. 1t should feel
hot.
Gaskets are protectors, too. There
are many of them on the car. but
they seldom get attention. If those
around the intake or the carburetor
are loose, air will leak in to lean out
the mixture and cause the sort of
trouble that accompanies trying to
get too many miles to the gallon. A
cylinder head gasket leak, especially
II internal, may prove quite costly.
In winter anti-freeze then gets
into the crankcase where it can play
hob with the bearings. Other gas
kets around the engine prevent loss

"Servicemen are eager to make

Many persons apparently don't
understand the necessity for giving
blood donations now, before the

soldier needs a gun in battle

much resentment, because the experience was
