Lemon Pie Filling making Use Of

Tex, in 1929.
Lemon Pie: If you have never
made lemon pie with bread crumbs
you have missed something good in
/ the pie line. Crate the rind of
. lemons, beat yolks of 2 eggs, then
add liz cups sugar and the juice
OF 2 lemons. Moisten cups fine
bread crumbs with lukewarm water,
add a pinch of salt, then mix all
together and bake in one crust.
When done frost with 2 tablespoons
sugar added to the stifiy beaten
whites. Brown in the oven. A tiny
pinch Of salt and A few drops Of
lemon juice in the frosting improve
the taste
Authorities make it rule to use
2 tablespoons sugar to each egg
white for merlngue. thus the above
recipe should exact 4 tablespoons
sugar for the required 2 egg whites.

Use Every Scrap of Leftover
Greens for NOurishmcnt

Leafy green's yield the most in
vitamins and minerals when they
reach the table fresh and are
eaten promptly, but there are days
when any cook overestimates what
a family will eat, or when cooking
for two meals at once is worth the
time saved. For these times, home
economists of the United States
Department of Agriculture suggest
the ways Of using leftover green's
and their cooking liquid with the
least recooking.
Use cooked spinach or other
green's, in place of raw, for creamed
soup. To serve six, melt table
spoons fat and blend with 2 table
spoons flour: then add quart of
milk and cook over boiling water,
stirring constantly until thickened
Cover and cook 10 minutes. Then
add l or 2 cups of cooked, chopped
spinach, season with salt and pep

favor. Spinach liquid may be used

Collards, kale. or turnip or beet tops
with fresh-cooked green's. Put the
leftovers into the pan last, lust
long enough to heat them.
If vegetable soup is in the pot,
with assorted vegetables and per-
haps a meat bone, drop in a half
cup or so of cooked green's and anv
cooking liquid that might go to
waste. Put in the green's when
soup is nearly done, so they will
not recook more than need be.
Prepare quickly baked dishes

DEAR MISS DIX: for IL years
have been married to a good, upright
man who doesn't drink or gamble,
but who is utterly without ambition.
He earns only small salary, just
enough for us to barely scrape along
on from hand to mouth, but he
makes no effort to better his posi-
ton. He doesn't work long hours
and could easily secure extra jobs,
especially as he doesn't work at all
on Saturdays, but he refuses to do
so. Says that he is not going to kill
himself for few dollars.
When we married, I looked for
ward to our being able to some day
own a little home Of our own and
to have a few luxuries, but now
know that am doomed to spend my
life just living in two rooms and
staving of the bill collector. And
the thought maddens me, because I
am an energetic, up-and-coming
woman who wants to get some
where in the world. Is there any
thing I can do about the situation?
