WATERLESS COOKER RECIPES.
(From Mrs. W. r. B., Washington }
Some one asked for recipes to use
In heavy aluminium waterless
cooker. No special ones are required.
Simply prepare the vegetables or
fruit as you would to cook with
water, but omit the water and allow
about double as long to cook, over
very low flame. No peeking-it
allows the steam to escape which
helps the cooking. Potatoes are
best cooked in the skins, then may
JUNKET.
From Mrs. F. L. M, Alexandria. }
believe Mrs. w. H. DeL.'s trouble
with her junket Is that the milk is
not the proper temperature. Junket
is very temperamental and the milk
must be good and warm-not hot.
I found If didn't get the milk
really warm it would be watery.
The finger test Is the safest way to
tell, although not so sanitary.

CURING SHYNESS.
From Mrs. H. A., Takonla Park, Md. J
To Mrs. r. G. of Takoma Park
whose small son Is shy with strang-
ers. Maybe my experience will be Of
some help to her. Both of my chill
dren were very shy and meeting
strangers or even friends made them
embarrassed and miserably uncom-
Portable. The older one finally out
grew this. Most children do when
they get older. But in the meantime
he really suffered. Friends and rela-
tives always make fuss over chill
dren. They try to coax them to be
friendly and come to them. In any
group, children are always the CEN
ter OF attraction for at least a few
minutes. Children realize this, and
unless they naturally like to show
off, 1t makes them shy and bashful.
So with the younger one I always
asked visitors to ignore her COM
pletely. The greetings were all to
me and the rest of the family, and
not by a word or even look did
they let on that they even saw her.
The conversation went on just as
though she wasn't there. In a very
short time she was either talking to
them or doing something to make
her presence known. This always
worked and she outgrew her natural
shyness at much earlier age than
her older brother did. I think that
If Mrs. r. G. could forewarn her
relatives not to pay any attention
to her son she may find 1t will help.
She could try 1t out on friends here
before she takes the trip.
