CLEANING GAS BURNERS:
SILVER FISH;
HOT MILK CAKE.

silver Fish,
HOT MILK CAKE.
Thanks to Mrs. P. L. w., Arlington. J
wish to thank you for a most in
teresting and helpful column. AS a
newcomer to the city I have found
it rather difficult to know where to
turn for certain information and the
Readers Clearing House has filled a
need many times.
At the time the request was made
for a hot milk cake, I had just tried
one used at the famous Toll House,
Whitman, Mass, and printed in the
cook book of Ruth Wakefield, owner
of the Toll House. I served the cake
to small group Of friends and they
were unanimous in their praise of
it's lightness. You will note that. un-
like most of the recipes which have
been given, this has separated egg
yolks and whites which makes q
lighter cake.
3 egg whites.
2 egg yolks.
l cup sugar.
SuP lloQl.
teaspoon baking powder.
tablespoon butter.
y cup hot milk.
Pinch salt.
Beat egg whites until stiff, then
beat egg yolks until light, add to
egg whites and beat together. Add
slowly the sugar and beat with a
spoon for minutes. Sift and fold
in the flour to which has been added
the baking powder and salt Then
beat in half cup quite hot milk to
which the butter has been added
Bake IN a 7-irich square or tube pan
at $50 fdegreessor in moderate oven
until done.
May I ask two questions? Can
any one tell me Of a solution to
clean gas burners that are dirty and
caked with grease? I have used a
razor with some success but it Is
difficult to reach curved edges. Also,
has any one a suggestion for eradi-
eating silver fish around the cracks
Of the drainboard tiling in the
kitchen?
Evening star., 1943-09-22

Stir two cups of lukewarm milk into
the flour and sugar mixture blending
1t smoothly.
Pour into crust and bake in hot
oven for fifteen minutes, then re-
duce heat to low and bake slowly
for 80 minutes. Put dots of butter
over pie before putting in oven,
KEEP YOUR HOME!
(Thdnks to Mrs. NJ. w. W,
Falls Church,
Do not sell your home, Mrs. G. w.
Van H. hang on to it for dear life.
Get a job and be ready for your

REMOVING MUSTY ODOR.
requested by Mrs. E. NJ. T.,
Arlington.)
I stored several pieces of luggage
in a basement which was damper
than I realized, and as result, the
rayon Innings became covered with
mold. I washed away the discolor-
alton, but an unpleasant musty odor
remains. I've exposed the pieces to
sun and wind. and although there's
an improvement, they still cannot be
used. I hope some of your readers
have other suggestions for remedy
ing this condition.
GELATIN CANDY.
Requested BY Mrs. NJ. A. G.,
SilUer Spring.
I wonder If any of your readers
can give me the recipe for squares
Of sugar-coated candy made from
one of the gelatin products.
This was one of the Christmas
favorites of children in our family
several years ago, and I would like
to make it now for my own little
boy. Unfortunately, cannot locate
the recipe.
Since 1t Is an absolutely pure con-
fection, inexpensive and simple to
make, perhaps others of your read
ers would also be interested.

At last, I am sure I can help a
fellow reader Of the Clearing House
I have gotten any number of help
full hints and splendid recipes from
this column and I think the Clearing
House has fine future. l especial
ly like the fact that this column
does not boast of tested recipes
which many times bring only disap-
pointments. I want to suggest to
Mrs. E. M W., Washington, that a
vigorous rub with liquid floor wax
will indeed take off marks on hard
wood floors, linoleum and tiles made
by synthetic rubber heels Also use
this wax to remove wax crayon
marks from these same things. You
use the kind of liquid wax that you
have to rub to make it shine, not
self-polshing wax.

"Uncle Bills" admirers never
take trip without shopping for
another hanky TO send to him
from some well-known city or
vacation spot. Many 60 so far
as TO embroider their names in
the corners have them au-

letters and souvenirs to them
At present the collection is OF

practically all Of the countries

come from boys whose lives

is a hanky with a design OF
horses heads, one with dogs, one

apple leaves from the Philip

claimed Uncle Bill" as he
searched for a vacant spot in
which to display his latest
handkerchief.
His large collection started in
1885 when a lady visitor left her
hanky by mistake. Someone
hung il up TO be noticed and
claimed by the owner and il at
tracted so much attention that
people began to leave more
hankies for "Uncle Bill" to
hang up. In no time his collec-
ton grew by leaps and bounds
he was forced 10 find a
place for his exhibit so he
strung wires across the ceiling
of his living room and there the
noseWipes hang today The
count now reaches 507 and con-
tinues to increase. Bill didn't
become alarmed when the cell
ing of one room was covered but
now the colorful canopy has eX-
tended through three rooms and
he fears he will have to string
wires in the kitchen unless the
