I would like to thank every con-
tributor for the many helpful sug-
gestions and am SO glad I can con-
tribute something at last. l am an
old veteran at cooking and, while
many new recipes are appearing to
relieve the rationing period, the old
ones appeal to me most since all good
cooks have learned economy through
years Of experience. and it is so nice
to have an opportunity to help be-
ginners in this race. Your column
is so worth while, I read it every
night before I look at the war news.
So you see how important 1t Is!

BAKED BEANS; BEEF STEW.
(Thdnks to Mrs. G.. E. L..
Arlington.)
Some days ago some one made a
very urgent appeal for a recipe for
home baked beans of a delectable
flavor which would please her hus-
band. I have mislaid my copy OF
that request so cannot give her ini-
tials, but I feel certain that both
she and her husband will be de-
lighted with the recipe herewith
submitted. -
Follow the directions exactly, even
with beans, which. according to di-
rections on package, do not require
soaking. If you bake them in a
pot, as I do, keep the beans covered
with water even after you take the
pot out of the oven. otherwise they
will be dry and mushy.
am also submitting a recipe for
beef stew, which I have also found
to be excellent. If my neighbor
happens in when it is cooking on the
stove, she exclaims, MY, something
smells good. What is it anyway?'

SPAGHETTI SAUCE;
BAKING SHAD?

(Thdnks to Mrs. R. H. H., Quantico.
1nclosed is an old Italian recipe
for spaghetti sauce which has made
me famous in a mild way. Served
as main dish with crusty bread, a
green salad. and dry red wine, 1t
really makes perfect supper.
One-half pound ground round, u
pound ground chicken, / good-sized
green pepper, 2 good-sized carrots,
4 large pieces celery. few sprigs
parsley, 3 or cloves garlic, one g.
ounce can tomato paste, one g.
ounce can spaghetti sauce, cups
chicken or meat stock, beef con-
somme, or water, "a pound fresh
mushrooms.
I have always made this using
l pound Of ground round. but since
rationing have tried padding the
meat with chicken and think it
improves the flavor. The sauce
may even be made Of all chicken
very successfully. I buy the round
already ground, but cut the chicken
from the bones raw and put 1t and
the vegetables Except the mush-
rooms) through the food chopper
using the fine blade.
Brown the meat and chicken to-
gether in a small amount of olive
oil or other fat until all the red
look has gone from the meat. Com
bine with the ground vegetables
which have also been Drowned a
bit In olive oil. Add tomato paste,
spaghetti sauce, salt and pepper,
and stock, and cook slowly for at
least three hours. Peel and cut
the mushrooms into fairly large
pieces Qeave whole II very smalD
cook few minutes In small amount
Of olive oil and add to sauce a half
hour before serving The mush-
rooms are not essential. but add a
lot we think. This should serve
four. We put some grated Italian
cheese on the table and let people
help themselves to it.
Now that we can start looking
forward to shad. has any one exact
directions for baking it so that the
bones disappear? I enjoy the COL
umn very much.

and cleaning as though nothing
had ever happened to it.
Be sure to wash with warm water
after polishing, then polish again.
Badly tarnished articles may need
up to a cup of vinegar.
The same book suggests another
method, which I did not try. This
consists OF a paste Of salt mixed
with an equal amount Of flour and
vinegar, left on for an hour or so,
then rubbed off with q soft cloth.
Afterwards wash and use a soft
brush for places that cannot be
reached with a cloth. Then polish.
Also given is q method of cleaning

brush mixture Of / ounce of oxalic
acid (POISOND and l pint OF soda

I have found the very easiest way
to wash spinach is to cut off the
sandy roots, place spinach in large

water, then lift the leaves out Of
this water. Practically all of the
sand will have settled in bottom Of
pan. If very sandy you may have
to repeat the procedure, but in any
event always lift the leaves out, do
not drain the water off, or you will
not get rid of all the sand.
