COLESLAW;
WASHING FEATHERS?
(From Mrs. w. w. G., Bethesda.)
would like to send in a good
recipe for coleslaw as K. K. from
Washington, D. c., asked for one. I
make my own salad dressing which
is very good and will keep in the
refrigerator for weeks. I put it in
1-pound jars as the recipe makes
two jars full. always use a fresh
hard head Of cabbage and shred it,
put it in a covered glass dish in
refrigerator until time to serve. Il
also CRATE a few raw carrots and
when I serve the coleslaw I put a
spoonful of grated carrot on top and
send to the table. I make the dress
ing and have it in bowl, let each
person use as much as they like.
And in this way your coleslaw is
crisp and cold and you don't waste
any. For the dressing? One tall
can of tomato soup, u cup oil, cup
vinegar, u cup sugar, l teaspoon
salt, tablespoon prepared mustard
with horse-radish, i tablespoon
onion juice, teaspoon Worcester
shire sauce, " teaspoon pepper. Beat
we'll with electric mixer or shake un-
til it is all mixed.
Can some one tell me how I can
wash chicken feathers that are In a
soiled pillow tick?
POEM WANTED?
From w. H. F., Arlington.)
Please send in the full poem If
any one can give it-"Monday's
child is fair of face, Tuesdays child,
etc" I need it for an entertainment
and should be very grateful. Your
page is wonderful.
ANGEL FOOD HINT.
From Mrs. E. J. McC., Washington
In regard to A. P. Us request for
suggestions on angel food cake, I
would suggest that instead of using
the whites of IL large eggs, since it
Is always difficult to get eggs the
same size, use IL cup of egg whites.
I always put my cake in cold oven
and turn the thermostat to 275 de-
grees. After the cake rises, I turn
the thermostat up to 1926 degrees. I
do not time my angel food cakes
but test them with straw. I am
sure cook mine more than an hour.

To Mrs. r. w. S., in regard to
cleaning fireplace bricks, will sub
NIT the method I cleaned a dark
red brick front to fireplace, black
with smoke, and hope it will aid her
mix one part household ammonia
with two parts cold water (warm

this to bricks with q cleaner brush
or mop, be sure the brush has not
been used In paint or grease. After
thorough application, rinse with

did for pe.
