Little or no ice need be used If
all the ingredients and the bowl it

ice is used, large cut of ice is best,

until sugar is completely dissolved.
Keep leftover sirup tightly covered
in the refrigerator. Corn sirup may
also be used to sweeten summer
drinks. Try some iced beverages
without sugar.
4. Cook cereals with prunes. raj
sins or dates and serve without
sugar
5. Use fewer or no frostings on
cakes. Don't frost the sides.
6. Serve sweet yeast breads, such
as cinnamon rolls and sweet quick
breads occasionally, instead of more
sugar-consuming cakes and pies.
7. Make desserts that use honey,
molasses, sorghum, corn or other
sirups when these are available
8. Stretch sugar in baked goods
with honey, molasses, corn or other
sirups. Honey may replace sugar
cup for cup, but use half the guam
tity Of other liquid called for in
original recipe-and keep baking
temperature moderate. Corn, cane
or maple sirups can replace sugar
measure for measure. Reduce liquid
by one-third.

Virtually any summertime holiday
occasion is appropriately observed
with a festive punch bowl. No other
service speaks more eloquently of
hospitality and none brings more
thankful refreshment on willing
summer days. Fresh fruits in sea-
son and fragrant wines have in
spired scores Of flavorsome and re-
freshing combinations. Why not
ask a few friends in for quiet
get-together, the evening of Me-
mortal Day?
One o. the most delightful of
these Is festival punch, combining
the goodness of both red and white
table wine apd luscious juicy berries.
A measure of lemon juice accents
the fine flavor of the punch. The
gingerale, which goes into the bowl
at the very last moment, adds a
bit of sparkle.
The punch bowl itself can be as
elegantly set up as the hostess wants
to make it. Circling the bottom OF
the bowl with a garland of flowers

Sugar-Saving Hints

Since the new sugar coupon
stamp SO, book 4-will have to last
four months instead of three, care
full spending of the 5-pound-per-
person ration will be necessary to
stave off scraping the bottom of
the family sugar bowl before Sep
tember l.
Home economists of the United
States Department of Agriculture
offer the following sugar-saving re-
minders:
l. In summer especially serve
fresh fruits literally in place of
heavy desserts that call for sugar.
A fruit salad topped by a dressing
mixed with fruit juice does double
duty as a refreshing salad and des-
sert.
2. Save sirup from canned fruit
to sweeten other fruit, sauces or
beverages.
3. Be sure all sugar is completely
dissolved to get its full sweetness. A
sugar sirup goes further than plain
sugar in sweetening iced tea or
fruit punch. To prepare sugar sirup,
heat equal parts sugar and water

peaches are excellent. If you learn
to like the soups well enough, you
may continue TO serve them in win
ter, with any fruits available, pre-
senting them steaming hot instead
of icy cold.
Basically, they are simple to make.
For peach soup. for example, simply
put cups peeled sliced peaches into
pint Of water in Kettle, with
dash Of cinnamon and cloves. Cook
until the peaches are tender and
then press them through a colan-
der Put them back on the stove
with the juice, and let them boil up
once or twice. Stir in cups of dry
white wine, add sugar to taste, heat
through and then chill well before
serving
II you are using berries or cher
ries (pit the latter, of course) cook
a quart of the fruit in 2 quarts of
water for about an hour. Strain
through a cloth and return to the
rinsed kettle. Add sugar to taste
and about 2 to 3 tablespoons of
cornstarch mixed with little water
to thicken. Cook until slightly
thickened and then chill we'll before
serving. If you like, just before re-
moving the soup from the fire, add
a glass of dry red wine.
Apple soup is made the same
way-using to 10 tart apples.
These are pared, cored and cut in
| sections, then cooked in a sirup of
the 2 quarts of water to which 3
tablespoons of sugar have been add
ed. When the apples are soft, mash
them through sieve, thicken with
cornstarch and water and flavor
with little lemon juice and a feck
OF cinnamon or ginger. A fine soup
is made by using half apples and
half rhubarb-but this may call for
more sugar than you can spare at
this time.
Usually toasted rusks or some
similar bread is served with these
/ fruit soups-but almost anv not
too-sWeet thin wafer or cookie will
/ do.

before baking it.
The only thing that I can figure
out is that the yeast was not good
or perhaps l should have used some
special flour. I just used the ordi-
nary flour which you buy in the
grocer's and instead of lard used a
popular vegetable shortening. Also
I didn't knead the dough very long
Can any one help me find my mis-
take? Some years ago l made a
similar dough from recipe given
me by friend and the rolls turned
out perfectly. 1 know that recipe

Report to the Housewife

Washington housewives rubbed
their eyes yesterday morning as
they read an advertisement that
meat was back again" at a local
chain OF markets, that it would be
on sale from 9 to 9! Many of them
probably muttered, 81 know-brains
and stuff" but, since hope runs
high when one has to feed a family
these days, many of them went to
market, stood in line, and found
that instead OF the usual Sorry,
ma am" that they could buy legs,
rumps, shoulders, chops and other
hard-to-find items in the veal and
lamp department. The reason for
this sudden good luck at the meat
counters was that one food chain,
as tired of the situation as you and
1 are, took the bull by the horns
ana bought Slaughterhouse to take
care of their customers. Bull by
the horns" however, is purely figu-
ratlVe because those to whom the
word meat" means beef" found
that the beef situation is still tight
everywhere, with many a market
installing voluntary ration system
OF so many pounds to the customer.
Ihere'S been no change in the beef
picture since last week, with what
beef there is going to those who
happen to be at the right counter
at the right time.
Pork and bacon are still on the
very scarce list-and have been for
so long that a 5-year- was re-
Gently overheard saying to his
mother, Il remember bacon-it's
that striped stuff" Judging from
the current picture, his memory will
nave to serve him while longer.
Local markets say there should
be plenty of regular crab meat and
some Holsters, and that fish such as
Boston mackerel, butter fish, trout
and whiting will be plentiful. Roe
and buck shad will also be available,
but in limited quantities, while most
flet fish will be hard to fin
Most dealers prefer not men,
ton the word poultry" 5 one
said. There's very little poultry
available-unless you happen to get
one on the wing" For a brighter
spot, We give you the report that
one market has an abundance of
American cheese in half-pound
packages. suggesting fluffy souff1es,
macaroni dishes, and lots of cheese
sauces for which this mild cheese is
so good
With warmer weather approach
tng-as inevitably as death and
taxes in these parts-theres good
news in the plenty of the produce
departments where such staples as
string beans. limas, beets, carrots
are all plentiful and reasonably
priced You'll find quantities of
asparagus and caulifiower, too, and
all the green's that go into the
making of fresh spring salads.
Pineapples are always welcome at
this time of year, and there are
California Valencias, too, both of
which do nicely by warm weather
menus. The oranges run a little
small in this years crop-just "one
more item beyond my control" ex-
planned the hard-pressed grocer.
