time my floors were badly marked,
SO on my knees tried several clean
ing agents, also wax. Some OF the
marks were 80 deep had to use
turpentine to remove them. Wax
will remove q light mark, but de-
cided time was too valuable these
war days, and there are more Inn
portant things to do than spend
your time cleaning up marks, 50 I
got q pair of inexpensive felt bed
room clippers to wear over the shoes.
In regard to linoleum In kitchen,
hopping three times a week Is very
harmful to linoleum. clean my
floor once every two weeks, use as
little water as possible, wipe dry and
cover with good liquid wax, which
you do not have to polish, then every
few days just wipe up the spots with
damp cloth.
Southern fried chicken: ("The
Chicken')-In the South you buy
your chicken on foot, for frying, not
over 2 pounds before dressing. Have
your chicken prepared one day and
fry the next. Cut the chicken into
or 10 parts. When ready to fry, I
dip each piece into milk, have ready
paper bag containing about cup
Of flour, salt and pepper, throw or
4 pieces of chicken in bag and shake;
this will cover each piece with
flour. I use deep iron frying pan
and prefer bacon fat to fry with
have tn fat about "a inch deep
in pan. 1 do not cover pan, and I
fry the chicken very slowly ut least
40 Misunderstanding each piece
often. You will then have golden
brown fried chicken, crisp and
cooked to the bone. After taking up.
your chicken, pour OH about halt
the fat. Add q tablespoon Of -four
to fat in pan and stir. Cook this
until it turns q deep brown, then
add cup milk and cup WATER,
piece Of butter II possible, salt and
pepper. Gravy should be creamy,
but not too thick; serve your gravy
in a bowl. I am Z Bostonian who
loves real fried chicken, and the
only way to obtain it Is to prepare
| it as they do In the South.
Corn bread: cup white water
ground meal, n teaspoon baking
powder, " teaspoon salt, l table,
spoon lard; use enough milk to
have the mixture firm enough to
shape into little nat cakes or "pone."
I cook these on q griddle In the
oven. Put . very small amount Of
bacon fat on griddle-cook on one
side and turn, cook until brown,
Instead Of baking powder and milk
you may use II teaspoon OF soda
and buttermilk.
