nice collards. Celery-cabbage, regu-
lar cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and
brussels sprouts are recommended
Fine lima beans from Long Island
peas, eggplant, peppers, celery, Gu
cumbers, snap beans, beets, carrots
satisfy, tomatoes, lettuce, watercress
leekS and radiSheS are also good
buys. Especially plentiful are pota
toes, both white and sweet, and there
is fair amount of the various types
of squash on the market. And, ii
you want them, there are parsnips
and rutabagas.
Here and There: No little
confusion seems to exist in the
minds of Washington housewives as
to the use of insecticides containing
DDT for the eradication of house
hold pests. Reports filter in of dam
age resulting from working with too
strong a formula; others complain
that the milder solutions being Of
fered are not living up to the mir
acle performances" associated with
the use of DDT by the armed serv-
ices. 1t would be well for the aver
age housewife to realize that in
using DDT in jungles, in lice-infest-
ed cities and in hundreds of other
situations and climates, it was ham
died by men trained in it's use, and
able to vary its strength and method
of application by scientifically de-
termined formulas. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture is said to be
readying a campaign that is de-
signed to control manufacturers sus-

The Jerusalem artichoke" has
nothing to do with Jerusalem, or the
artichoke, either. 1t is actually the
tuber Of species of sunf1ower, and
its Italian name "girasole" was cor
rupted into Jerusalem" by the Eng
lish.
The tuber is native of this coun-
try, being found originally in the
upper valleys of the Mississippi, and
was cultivated there by the Indians
for its sweet favor Later the "arti-
chokes" were introduced into Eu-
rope, and became exceedingly popu-
lar in certain countries, particularly
In Italy and Great Britain.
The British have special way of
preparing them-"Jerusalem Arti-
chokes Lyonnaise" To make this
dish, peel and wash as many of the
tubers as you need, and drop them
at once into acidulated salted water,
to keep them white. In a casserole
put some butter, little lemon juice,
and some salt. Add the artichokes,
and cook them gently until they are
done. but do not let them get mushy.
Drain off the butter, and put the
artichokes in flreproof dish to
brown. Put cup of meat stock or
bouillon into the saucepan in which
they were cooked, along with the
butter, and blend with a little flour.

Report to the Housewife

pected Of making use of the name
DDT in so-called DDT insecticides
that do not contain enough of the
DDT to act as exterminators, and
also instruct the public in the proper
strength Of mixtures and methods
of application for the various needs.
In the meantime, it Is best to use
the milder solutions as mere con-
tact sprays, carefully following di-
rections on the containers, and wait
for full instructions on the more
complicated procedures. RumOr
has it that coffee will be one of the
first Of the jOr food items to be
released from price control. The
big three" B vitamins, thiamine.
ribofiavin and niacin, are present in
certain meats in important quanti-
ties and care should be taken that
they are not cooked out" Tenta-
tive findings indicate that broiling
best conserves the big three: fry
ing a second best, with roasting a
close third. Braising rates fourth
place, with steWing or boiling last.
:. Potatoes cooked in their jackets
retain more vitamin B than do
those peeled before boiling. Up
right home freezers for city and
farm use, with front opening doors
and sectional inner doors for easy
food storage and removal are ex-
pected to be welcomed especially by
housewives whose cabinet space is
| limited. New electric rOasters
are equipped with 'look-in" panel
of glass, an oven dish for meat and
two for vegetables, according to
latest reports. Some of these are
already being manufactured. we are
told Hamburger. sausage
luncheon meats and three lower
grades Of beef are expected to be
! made ration free next month.

be rendered tender.
However, they concede that most
of us haven't the time, facilities,
nor do we know how to corn our
beef-so they advise buying the
fattest piece Of corned beef you
can find in the market, putting it
on the stove in cold water, bringing
it to a boil and letting 1t simmer
for two to four hours, until tender.
Then-setting aside the broth in
which 1t was cooked-put the meat
in deep bread tin, with the f1bers
running the long way. Pull up
layers of meat with fork, and tuck
into the spaces pieces of fat from
the outer edge. Then put a shingle
on top of the meat, weight 1t heav-
lily, and chill it well until the fol-
lowing day when it is to be eaten.
A couple of hours before dinner
is to be served hot up" the broth
in which the meat was cooked the
day before. After the liquor has
boiled for half an hour, add two
carrots. scraped and cut in chunks;
80 minutes later put in a couple of
turnips, sliced, and a small cabbage

Tlrkeys-turkeys-and more tur-
keys headline the market news this
week. The letup on Government
set-asides has permitted shipments
Of Americas favorite bird to civilian
outlets, and Washington families
can enjoy a Thanksgiving preview
to make up for the wartime turkey
dinners they have missed. And to-
go with them you'll find fresh cram
berries, If you can spare the sugar
needed to make cranberry sauce.
The turkeys, incidentally, will be
selling at reasonable priceS-in some
instances even below ceiling levels.
II your heart doesn't 60 out to
turkey therell be all kinds of chick
ems for you to choose from, although
.-fryers are the most plentiful. How
ever, fowl and bakers will be avail
able In good supply, and some poul-
try dealers will be Offering ducks
as well. Eggs are easier than last
week.
Beef continues in heaviest meat
supply, with veal a close second,
and more lamb expected than We
have seen for some time. Pork is
still on the scarce side, which is true
Of all cuts and types of the meat.
The fish picture is bright this
week, with most scale and tilleted
fish on the ample" list. Fresh
founder, rock, trout porgieS, croak-
ers, butterfiSh, spots, and sea bass
are recommended. Spanish mack
erel and bluefish are not quite so

and fair oysters. Some soft crabs
and Holsters are to be found. A little
fresh salmon Is expected shortly.
In addition to those fresh cram
berries we mentioned. the fruit line
up includes splendid selection of
melons-honeydews, Casabas, Per-
slams, Cranshaws, Santa Claus and
the exotic-appearing Leopard mel
ons, which are cross between
Casabas and Christmas melons,
shaped like the former and bear
ing the spots of the latter. A few
Western cantaloupes are still to be
found. The Eastern grapes, such as
Concord, NiagaraS and so on, are
practically noneX1Stent In most mar
kets-it is reported that unfa-
vorable weather last spring dam
aged the crop SO seriously that 1t
will be one of the worst Eastern
grape years on record. California.
on the contrary, is reaping a crop
that promises to be the second
largest in history.
Many Of these are coming to mar
ket now, as shown by the good
stocks of seedless. Malagas, Ribiers
and Tokays. The others such as Mus
cats and Sultanas, will go into max
ing big supply of raisins and wines.
Grapefruit from the Isle of Pines,
Bartlett pears, pineapples, avocados,
fresh prunes, bananas and only fair
apples round out the list.

A New England boiled dinner, to
most OF us, just means q piece Of
corned beef reposing in the middle
Of a deep platter. surrounded by
chunks of cabbage, whole carrots
and turnips, and some onions and
potatoes. The inference Is that all
of these ingredients have been
cooked together-and the result Is
usually far from fancy"
AS matter of fact. II you sit
at the feet OF the real Maine cooks,
and listen attentively to those super
housewives words of wisdom, you'll
learn that that isn't even kin to a
real boiled dinner.
To begin with, most State of
Manners will tell you that to get
good corned beef, you should corn
your own, choosing a piece from the
rump or flank, next to the loin.

RECIPES AND HINTS.
From Mrs. M. M, Greenbelt, Md.)
+ A Mrs. A. D. Of Washington re-
quested q recipe for Kuchen and
while I'm submitting one I've used
many times, would like to include
some other recipes and suggestions
that I hope will prove helpful.
Fruit or Berry Kuchen: Two cups
-four, a teaspoon salt, teaspoons
baking powder, 4 tablespoons short
ening, l egg. u cup milk, table,
spoons butter.
Sift the flour once before meas
uring. Then sift flour. salt and
baking powder together. Cut in
shortening until finely blended.
Then blend in well-beaten egg and
the milk. Pat the dough into a we'll
creased baking pan, pushing the
dough up around the edges OF the
pan. Then arrange fruit or berries,
2 cups. over the top of dough-
Cover with u cup brown sugar II
fresh fruit or berries are used.)
Pour over an egg mixture COM
posed OF ! egg beaten slightly, "
teaspoon salt, II cup sugar, table,
spoon cornstarch and "a teaspoon
vanilla. Dot with butter and bake
IS to 40 minutes in $50 degrees oven.
Use a deep s-inch square pan pref
erably.
Biscuit Mix, handy to have:
Twelve cups flour, 8 tablespoons
baking powder, 4 teaspoons salt, "a
cups shortening.
Sift the flour with baking powder
and salt. Cut in the shortening
until the mixture is as fine as corn
meal. Store in a covered container
on the pantry shelf and use as de-
sired. This makes dozen biscuits.
1t is as easy to measure and mix
ingredients for dozen as 1 Dozen
For one dozen biscuits use az cups
Of the mix and "a cup liquid. For
drop biscuits I use "a cup OF liquid
to cup Of mix. Beat with fork and
drop in muffin tins.
Wahles, crisp and good: Three
cups sifted -four, 81 teaspoons bak-
ing powder, u teaspoon salt, "a cup
shortening. 3 egg yolks, az cups
milk, egg whites, stifny beaten.
Sift flour with baking powder and
salt. Cut in shortening until mix
ture Is as fine as cornmeal. Com
bine beaten egg yolks and milk.
Add to -four mixture and beat until
smooth. Fold in beaten egg whites.
Makes at least 8 waf1les. I find that
the thinner a wafle batter, the
crisper the waffie.
Devils Fun Cake-A very simple,
moist chocolate cake Three squares
chocolate. u cup shortening (6
tablespoons, "a cup boiling water,

after each addition. You can add
the oil faster toward the end. Add
lemon Juice and vinegar last. Keeps
we'll tightly covered in refrigerator
Bread and Butter Pickles: One
gallon cucumbers, 8 onions white
preferable), large green pepper, l
large red sweet p pper, u cup salt,
cups sugar, cups vinegar, 2 table
spoons mustard seed, 2 teaspoons
celery seed, l teaspoon tumeric, n
teaspoon ground cloves.
Slice cucumbers very thin, cut
onions in slices, pull apart and leave
in rings. Dice peppers. Mix these
together and add salt. CThe bottom
of the turkey roaster is excellent to
mix this i'm. Cover with crushed
ice and let stand three hours. Ever
so often run hands through mixture
to distribute salt and ice. Drain.
Combine sugar, spices and vinegar.
Pour over cucumbers. Bring to boil
and pour in sterilized jars and seal.
Homemade Soap-White and soft
with salvaged fat: Put quart water
in stone jar or other suitable vessel
(not aluminium and in this dissolve
l tablespoon powdered borax. Add
l can good concentrated lye; stir
until dissolved. When cool add l
cup liquid ammonia. Stir again.
When all is dissolved and cool. pour
IN pounds melted grease, slightly
warm, not hot Stir constantly. Oil
of sassafras can be used for scent If
desired. Stir for 10 minutes or until
mixture Is like molasses. Pour into
wooden box that is LEAK PROOF.
When firm, crease, cut into cakes.
When thoroughly hardened, sepa-
rate bars, lay on shelf to dry. The
longer the soap is kept the better it
becomes. 1t whitens as it ages.
