here's bit of good news: Those
in-the-know say that the 1945 prod
uct is vastly improved. OF better
quality, with low moisture content
and vacuum packed, these dried
eggs reach the far corners of the
earth in excellent condition. Army
cooks have learned to cook them
better, too-although they still COM
plain that the eggs can't be boiled
or fried! WFA has removed
shipping restrictions covering Irish
potatoes in the klamath Basin area
of Oregon and California, and the
Red River Valley area of North Da-
kota and Minnesota. However, re-
strictions will continue in effect in
designated areas of Idaho, Oregon,
Maine and Michigan. i. . During the
sugar shortage, try icing your cake
with this mixture: Beat the white of
one egg with glass of tart jelly
preferably red Keep beating until
the mixture is fluffy and stands in
peaks. >. If your salad oil supply is
running low, or you are trying to
slim off those extra pounds acquired
during the winter, dress your salads
with lemon juice and salt only.
Spike the mixture with herbs ac-
cOrding to YOUR taste and supply.

Jelly making. I have always made
my own jelly. We have four chill
dren and use quantities of it and I
always use the pectin. 1t is much
easier, quicker and more certain.
Once I decided to try it the other
way to see which I like best. I took
basket of peaches and made half
with pectin and half the old way.
Then about month later took a
jar of each and tried them on bread
and butter and just tasted it. This
was my conclusion: Made the old
way the jam was much sWeeter.
Made with the pectin it was not near
ly as sweet but had much stronger
peach flavor. Another time when
making grape jelly I ran out Of
pectin and finished it the old way.
Never again for me- Both the peach
jam and grape jelly made the old
way were successful, but prefer the
fruit flavor and do not like to see
all my juice boil away, to say moth
ing of the time it takes and the
nuisance and wondering whether it
will come out right. Especially in
these days of high priced fruits and
scarce sugar. In using the pectin I
have always followed directions
exactly and have never had a failure.
For mothers of small children who
wonder how to get the work done.
My children are not all small. The
oldest is 13, but I do have a 5-year-
old and a 15-months- -old baby and
suddenly find myself doing a lot
that I never had to do before. My
strength is not unlimited and 1 long
ago came to the conclusion that it
is much more important for chill
dren to have a good-natured mother
than it is to have an immaculate
house What if there Is little or
even a lot of dust here and there?
1t doesn't hurt any one. So my
advice is to let the dust go and
be sure to get in a rest at that
time of day that the house is quiet.
Usually after lunch. Also it is amaz-
ing how many things can be used
unironed. such as sheets, pillow
cases and underwear. Hang and
fold them carefully as you take
them down. just do not get so
tired that you snap and yell at
the children and that you let mole

It's Come TO This

Many of us are eating cuts OF
meat that would have been beneath
our notice in peacetime. Such little
items as pigs tails, pigs ears ano
lambs tails would have left us cold
thap-now, as we search the meat
counters for anything to tuck in
our market baskets, we rejoice al
the sight of them!
But to many of us, they are
strange to prepare as we'll as to eat
How in the world does one make an
acceptable dish of these bits and
pieces? Take a lesson from the
peasants of the Old World.
Trim lambs tails neatly and put
them into a pan with a strip or two
of bacon-if you can get it or else
use bit of fatback-some little
onions and young whole carrots. If
you like. add a Glove of garlic. a
herb bunch, thyme, rosemary and
a bay leaf. Season with a couple
of cloves, some peppercorns and salt
Let these all heat through over the
fire for few minutes. Then put
in a pint of boiling water and 2
pints of vinegar.
Simmer until done-the tails
should be tender with the meat

HAMBURGER PATTIES.
OTJFRY2


From Mrs. B. E. B., Washington J
Answering Mrs R. H. D., Arling-
ton, may l submit the following
broiled hamburg pattie recipe which
is our favorite?
One pound chuck or rump, ground
twice, l cup soft bread crumbs, 2
tablespoons minced onion, l tea
spoon salt, Il teaspoon pepper. "a
cup canned condensed tomato soup
l tablespoon prepared mustard.
Mix together all ingredients ex-
cept the mustard. Place on a shall
low creased baking pan, and form
into large, round pattie about Z
inches in diameter. Spread the TOP
of the pattie with 4 the mustard
Heat broiler for minutes ther
place the meat in the broiler. about
1l2 inches to inches below the
burner or element. Broil from 7
to 10 minutes on first side; turn
with wide spatula; spread top with
remaining mustard, and broil 5 to
7 minutes longer. Serve in pie
shaped pieces. Serves or 5. To
serve make y this recipe.

huge razor clans, as well as the
beach. butter, Washington and
moneyshell clans, and that strange
and delicious goeduck, which is
shaped like ducks body, and has
been known to weigh up to 10 or
more pounds
The Pacific sand dab-eousin Of
our Norfolk spots much thinner
than its Eastern relative and is con-
sidered great delicacy when fried
like chicken la Maryland. There
Is fresh crawf1sh. differing from our
lobster by the lack of claws. This is
excellent when boiled in highly
seasoned water and served cold with
a special sauce that includes minced
cucumberS.
But one of the most interesting
of all is the pink abalone, which is
Ia peculiar-lOoking mollusk shaped
like an ear and having only one
shell. This creature attaches itself
to rocks by means of the great mus
cular foot, which also enables it to
get around and which Is the part
that one eats.
Abalone are restricted and for
that reason, few are shipped to
other parts of the country. On the
West Coast they are considered a
real delicacy and are served in sew
eral ways. My favorite is baked
abalone. The muscle is pounded
slightly with mallet to soften it,
and then cut In slices, dipped in egg
and crumbs and fried lightly in olive
oil. When the abalone is Drowned,
it is put into a casserole with mus
tard, some onions, lemon juice and
parsley and baked.
Columbia River salmon, Of course,
are known throughout the country,
but the Columbia River smelt are
snapped up close to home. Such
sweet little fish they are!
And Californians claim that Cali
fornia brook trout are the best in
the world-a statement that has
long been the basis of lively con-
troversy between Western and East
ern anglers.
A speciality of Italian restaurants
in San Francisco is the "Chiopino,"
which is made by arranging cleaned
portions of fish such as striped bass
in large kettle, adding cooked
shrimp and cooked crabs, broken
in pieces and left in the shells.
Onions are Drowned in oil and
stepped up with bit of garlic and
some minced parsley. Cooked to-
matoes are stirred into the onion
mixture, with some chopped celery,
salt and pepper to taste. When these
are heated through, they are added
to the seafood and fish and all are
cooked together for half an hour
or so. Then the "melange" is
served in soup plates-crab shells
and all!

ANGEL FOOD CAKE.
DATE LOAF?
SQUEAkY SHOES?

(From Mrs. E. D. R., Arlington, Va J
I wanted to send in my Angel
Food Cake recipe. but 1 notice a
similar one was printed.
I use recipe on box of we'll
known cake flour and have perfect
cakes every time. The secrets are
in having the egg whites stiff
enough to stand in peaks, and to
bake the cake slowly cat 1926 de-
grees) from As minutes to an hour
depending on the size of the cake I
like mine slightly brown and sticky
For an ordinary size, As minutes is
enough.
My mother used to have recipe
for a wonderful candy called Date
Loaf. The recipe was lost and I
am very anxious to obtain another
one
The candy was full of dates and
nuts and a cooked sirup held it
together. 1t was nodded into a
loaf and rolled into a damp cloth.
When cold, it could be sliced quite
like a meat loaf, and was smooth,
not sugary or sticky. The dates re-
tanned their shape quite we'll.
I have tried several recipes but
have not found the one I'm looking
for. Maybe one of the readers can
help me.
@ Another problem I'd like solved is
how to take the squeak out of my
husbands shoes. Water doesn't
seem to help.

Season as you like. Crush some

dust them well on the nicely made

do not add any more water to them
I think you will like this as the
