STOCK POT
Dear Almanack:

Dear Almanack:
Someone asked me the other
day what the big pan on the side
of my stove was for and was
quite surprised 10 know it was a
stock pot which supplies the basis
for most of my soups and many
sauces. thought if any Of your
readers would like TO start one,
here's how ] start mine.
A large sauce pan should be
used and kept only for that pur-
pose. Fill about two-thirds full
with cold water. 20 which add
little salt. Put all scraps Of meat,
bones, fat, bread and vegetables
into saucepan and keep the con-
tents slowly simmering for seven
or eight hours daily.
In Summer, if the stove is off
during the night, 1t is better to
empty stock pot every night,
straining the liquid. washing out
and airing the stock pot, keep
ing liquid in ice box or cool
place, Replace liquid TO stock
pot in morning and add a little
fresh water and more scraps as
they come along.
II stock looks cloudy, clear
it with the white and shell Of !
egg. Back home in Scotland we
never were without a stock pot
on the stove.

SCOTTISH RECIPES

Dear Almanack:
/ have wanted many times TO
write and thank .yeH for yoHr
wonderful recipes and helps in
The American Weekly House
wife's Food Almanack, as
have a large family and it has
helped me so much. l have
some recipes handed down from
my grandmother and mother
that you might like to try-they
are so simple, but very good and
have helped me So through the
last depression and may help
others. One is oatmeal - the
other, mutton, and they are not
as scarce as other foods just
now. We will take mutton first.
My folks came from Northern
Scotland and mutton was about
the only meat poor folks could
afford-and oats were eaten by
rich and poor alike-like here IL
is wheat for all rich or poor.
To cook mutton and not have
it have that queer taste treat II
this way chops and all parts.
Put it on in cold water with a
tablespoon of salt, let it come to
a boil, then simmer twenty min

CHOCOLATE SYRUP

Dear AlmanacK:
OF course I read the House
wife's Food Almanack every
Sunday. and smack my hps-or
wrinkle my brows - depending
upon what the recipes are. They
all must be good or you would
not accept them for print. Some
sound strange. 1 wrinkle my
brow and end up trying them
anyhow!
l have sent several recipes
which use often and which are
my husbands favorites, but so
far they have not passed the
Board of Examiners.
Yet I couldn't resist writing to
tell you OF a short cut I recently
found-through pure laziness.
/ intended TO make a chocolate
syrup for ice cream in the regu-
lar way when a jar of dark earn
syrup gave me an idea which
proved very workable. The fol-

syrup of following proportion TO
cover apples: Ii cups sugar and
/ cup water; bring water and
sugar TO boil and boil for a
few minutes, add red cake col
oring (vegetable) and a dash or
two Of cinnamon.
Have syrup boiling, but not
thick when apples are added as
thick syrup will cause the apples
20 become candied. Cook until
apples are done but still hold
their shape. They should absorb
about all their syrup. Drain
them and fill with various combi-
nations your taste selects. For
example: chopped celery, cottage
cheese and nuts. grated car
rots and pineapple or any others
you prefer. Mix these with a
little salad dressing. Sprinkle
with cinnamon. Green apples
are very pretty, also. but green
color in tablet form is better as
the liquid fades.

Nazis Will Resort 10 Gas,
Gen. A. H. Wait Predicts

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, April 16.-A guess
that Germany will use gas on the
battlefield before going down to de-
feat came yesterday from Brig. Gen
Alden H. Watt, acting deputy chief
OF the Army's Chemical Warfare
Service.
Here for the presentation of an
Army and Navy "E" award, Gen.
Watt told newsmen In an interview
that Il cannot conceive of Germany
gcing down to defeat without resort
ing to it. She has lots of it and my
guess is that she'll use it."
Gen. Watt recalled that although
the Nazis thus far have refrained
from gas warfare, the japanese
have employed it a number of times
in China, twice on such scale that
casualties ran into the thousands"
If Germany does use it," he
warned, "she will be sorry. We're
prepared, both defensively and Of
fensively."
Chemical warfare has been much
maligned, Gen. Watt observed, de-
scribing any discussion of the "hu-
manity or inhumanity of the weap-
ons of war" as absurd.
Statistics from the last war show

Easter Hams Hold Popularity
Despite Cost in Ration Points

tradition is said to date back to
medieval times when a peasant
slaughtered. a hog and buried the
carcass, in the sand. Winter seas
flooded the shore but receded at
Easter, when the man dug up the
meat, hung 1t to dry and in the
smoke of an open fire the salted pork
took on a new and delightful flavor.
Another explanation is that pio-
neer Americans slaughtered hogs in
the late fall and parts were con-
verted into sausage because it would
keep longer than fresh meat. Hams
and bacon were smoked to pre-
serve them even longer. Then the
sausage and bacon was consumed
gradually during the winter, but the
choicest ham was saved until The
