SUGGESTIONS;
REQUEST.
Thanks TO Mrs. H. E. c.,
Springfield, Va
At last I'll try to pay interest on
my debt for all the wonderful things
we have gathered from the Clearing
House.
For Mrs. G.. N. L.: One tablespoon
of vinegar to cups of grape juice
keeps jelly from getting CLASSY. To
salvage old jelly: Try heating 1t
until 1t will pour and then straining
it through thin muslin to remove
the crystals and then add bit of
water to make up for evaporation
and after adding the vinegar use as
fresh jelly.
For Mrs. G. D.: For the home
made sodas, we like to use ginger ale
or our favorite soda pop over ice
cream.
If you like cheese with apple or
mince pie try adding u cup grated
cheese to the top crust.
Now, will some one tell me where
to find Pepper Store? One
where we can get good chilli and
hot tamale peppers.
For the folks with ANTS: Try oil
of sassafras. I get small bottle
from the drugstore, just dip cotton
string into the bottle and lay the
saturated string along the wall or
rug where they come in. Ants will
never cross the oiled twine. It is
IA ~ r%e al ~
odor Is not bad at all. In fact, some
find it pleasant.
ICE CREAM SODAS:
CREAMLESS FREEZER CREAM.
Thanks to Mrs. E. G. r.,
Washington
Sodas: Place serving of ice cream
in tall glass. Add desired, flavor
syrup: i.e., orange, pineapple. >choc-
olate, etc. To this add weu-iced
cola. root beer, ginger ale, pop or
sparkling water. Serve Immediately
with long spoon and straws. ! cup
sugar to 3 cups crushed fruit, well
TIRED and kept in sealed jar in
refrigerator lasts several days for
average family as flavoring syrup.
Creamless Freezer Cream: / quart
whole milk. Heat in double boiler
When at boiling point stir in egg
yolks, blended with cup yellow
Cor white) sugar (or l cup light
corn syrup or maple syrup and 2
level tablespoons corn starch. If
sugar is used thin with about II
cup cold milk. Keep stirring until
we'll cooked. Add n teaspoon salt.
Remove from fire and add about 2
tablespoons vanilla. Place boiler
top In bowl of water to cool Gus
tard. Add l envelope gelatin dis
solved and beat for a few seconds
with egg beater. When cool this
custard is the consistency OF heavy
cream. Just before freezing fold
in the egg whites beaten stiff. This
makes a generous II gallon of fln-
ished ice cream-a rich frozen GUS
tard type. May be churned with
ice from 2 or freezer trays or
frozen smooth in freezer trays by
filling half full leaving room to beat
with fork about 3 times as mix
freezes. Beating gives bulk, light
ness and a smooth cream. Serve
plain or topped with sundae sauces
and nuts.
TEEN-AGE PROBLEM.
Thanks to Mrs. r. E. H., Rockville. J
Not long ago some lady wrote in
about teen-age problems I didn't
read her letter but I read the answer
to it. If you ask me. some one has
the wrong idea about how to raise
children. I can remember my teen
years and I hope I still remember
them when my daughter gets lit
tie older.
I would like to refer the mother
of that teen-age daughter to an
article in the August copy of Par
entS Magazine" 1t is written by a
17-year-old girl about the problem
of juvenile delinquency. I think the
majority of adults would find that
they have much less trouble if they
would treat their children as If they
had some sense. Some parents would
be wise to listen to the opinions of
a young person once in . while.
SPOTS ON CLOTHING?
fThGnks to Mrs. L. II. w.,
Washington
If, in making grape jelly. you will
add l tablespoon of vinegar to each
quart of juice you may make your
jelly up while the juice is hot. Thus
saving time. And you will have no
crystals.
May make a request? Does any
one have the information on Spots
and How to Remove Each? For
instance, to remove cocoa stain use
cold water, coffee stain, boiling
water, etc. I refer to spots on
clothes
