REQUESTS ANSWERED.

II you ever have any doubts as to
whether people read the Clearing
House to a very great extent, I could
really tell you! Last week when> ]
offered to tell M. G. w. of the name
Of an extract that would keep flavor
in rum buns, got an idea Of how
many people must read it as eagerly
as I do. My phone started to ring
even before my own paper was de-
livered, and 1t rang almost inces-
sanity Friday evening and all day
Saturday and I even got 3 or
calls on Sunday and Monday. So,
If that many women read and were
interested in the rum bun Sugges-
ton, how many more must read and
benefit from all the wonderful in
formation given. please don't mis-
construe this as a complaint about
the calls, however, because I hope
that my suggestion may have helped
some one as much as I have been
helped by the Clearing House)
Now for something of interest Il
hope) to the Clearing House
readers.
Several days ago some one re-
quested q recipe for chutney. Here
Is one that is passable substitute.
Brown in butter, medium
chopped onion, l small green pepper,
and 4 cup of celery. A garlic bud
may be Drowned in the butter, and
later removed, If desired. Add u
cup Of ketchup, 4 teaspoons vinegar
and Il teaspoon Of salt and pinch
Of thyme. Let II cup of raisins
stand in a cup Of hot water for about
10 minutes, then add to the frying
pan mixture. Simmer over very low
heat for about n hour.
This is not my own recipe so I
do not know how to serve it, but
I believe it is served hot, with the
curry dish. The friend from whom
I obtained it tells me that you can't
make the real chutney, but that she
had evolved this sauce herself,
through experiments. I hope it is
Of some use.
I want to thank Mrs. A. r. S. so
much for her hamburger concoc-
tion." 1t Is the recipe that wanted.
I certainly appreciate it.
To Mrs. M. F. who requested the
recipe for starching crocheted
basket, I presume it is a regular
tumbler size basket. Wash it gently
in soap flakes, rinse well. Put glass
back In basket, turn bottom up on
an ironing board. Stretch and pin
in correct shape. Wet entire basket
with very thick starch, with a rag
or sponge. Tip the glass at a right
angle and run q thread through one
OF the spaces on the bottom and tie
1t to the board to hold the glass.
Let dry thoroughly. Put clean glass
In basket If your ration book per-
mits, put 4 cup sugar in the
starch. 1t makes nice rough finish.
