REMEMBER THE SALT!

fFrom Miss G. H., Washington
For the little girl who has trouble
remembering the salt, maybe this
story will help:
There was once king who had
two daughters. He asked each of
them how much she loved him and
the eldest satisfied him that her
love was great but the younger an
swered as much as fresh meat loves
salt He was very angry and BAN
ished her from the kingdom. Now
she was beautiful and wise girl
and eventually married handsome
young rival prince. When she was
installed in her own castle, she
threw a party and invited her
father, who did not know his daugh-
ter had invited him and didn't rec
ognize her as his hostess. The din
ner was luxurious but tasteless, as
she had omitted salt from every
dish. When the old king saw how
the meal was ruined for lack of salt
he broke down and cried, and re-
morsefully told the story of his BAN
ished daughter, saying Now, I know
that she loved me best Then she
revealed herself to him and forgave
him and they all lived happily ever
after"
The complete story can no doubt
be found with the librarians help
among the fairy tales. I'm sure it
has helped me to remember the
salt!

HINTS TO MOTHERS:
WHOLE WHEAT BREAD.
From Mrs. F. E. GU

This page has been of such in
for SO long that I wish I could con-
tribute something to it truly help
full. However, here are some small
items that may prove useful to
mothers of small babies. To those
having trouble giving the baby cod
liver oil from a spoon, try using a
large-size medicine dropper, obtain
able at any drugstore. 1t eliminates
at least for me, lot of waste. mess
and sometimes struggling on the
part of both mother and baby. And
to those still giving their infants
just part of one egg yolk, here is
my method. fill very small bowl
with boiling water and set a small
sauce dish on it. Into this I put as
much egg yolk as I intend using
with an equal amount of water
Stir with spoon until slightly
thickened and then blend in your
strained vegetable or soup. AS you
see, this procedure cooks egg yolks
warns the vegetable and provides
the feeding of both at the same time
The remaining egg yolk may be used
for the following day by putting in a
tightly covered small glass with a
spoonful water to keep it from dry
ing.
In closing, I'd like to make just
one request Perhaps some reader
can tell me why my whole wheat
bread takes on sour smell and
taste during the first raising. I fol-
low my regular recipe for white
bread substituting whole wheat flour
for half the white and molasses in
place of sugar.
SUGGESTIONS FOR PARTY?

party in April or May in our recre-

married couples in their early 20s
Most of the fellows are discharged

be coaxed to start. I would appreci-
ate any time as to how to start the
party off right and some suggestions
about refreshments. This Is my first
attempt at party since have been

CRIB VS.. COUCH:
RECIPE WANTED2

From Mrs. P. M. O., Hyattsuille.) J
Regarding the problem of chang
ing the child to a studio couch bed
Our daughter began sleeping on a
Hollywood" bed (single size) at the
age of % months. Placing the bed in
a corner and putting pillow be-
tween the mattress and the box
spring so as to raise the edge of the
mattress little, eliminated falls al
most completely and the bed was so
low that the few times she fell out
she didn't wake up; in fact, I don't
remember that she did fall out after
we began using the pillow.
Has any one a recipe for a light
(not chocolate) sour cream cake,
using few or no eggs, which, by
increasing or decreasing the sugar
according to the fruit, makes a good
pudding topping for peaches, berries,
etc? My mother used to make one
but has lost the recipe and we
haven't been able to find one. The
cake was also good just as cake.

Z Sugar: You can sweeten a small

quantity of preserves or jelly left in
an empty, jar and enhance the flavor
of the prunes as well. Just wash the
prunes, rinse the contents of the jar
out and cook the prunes in them
Add pinch of salt and a small
piece of orange or lemon peel if you
like 1t. For a large quantity of
prunes you max have to add one or
two teaspoons of sugar. Keep in re-

WASTE NOT, WANT NOT"


I like your idea about suggestions
in saving food and otherwise. I have
a few ideas to offer. We can make
good use of many cast of things,
and by so doing help ease the
tight" situation on many items and
indulge in little self satisfaction in
being thrifty as well.
Stockings: If you will 60 through
all your old stockings (most OF us
who work and do not have much
time may have quite a few and
match up as many as possible. 1t
may surprise you, it did me. found
fine useable pairs; in some cases
they didn't quite match in shade
and some were little washed out
looking. took care Of this by using
brown dye powder obtainable at all
dime stores. Dissolve small portion
in boiling water, then pour in
enough water to cover hose and mix
well and warm before the hose are
put in; they should be washed and
rinsed thoroughly before put in the
dye rinse. let them heat very SLOW
ly and lift and stir now and then
Let water get only fairly hot. If not
dark enough, let stand in dye rinse
until it cools and rinse thoroughly
If too dark, a few washings will take
care of that. If every one would dc
this, the stocking situation would be
eased and not nearly so many wom-
en- would be worried about having
to 20 "barelegged." It isn't as much
trouble as it sounds. You can take
care of the dyeing process while
washing dishes.
Soap: I believe it will continue te
be scarce as it is badly needed ir
| foreign countries. When your toilet
soap is too thin and small for salts
factory use, you can press 1t tightly
on your fresh cake by having both
moist. 1t just becomes a part OF youl
new cake and no waste. When il
breaks and you have various small
pieces, save these and make grane
soap jelly for shampoo. Use any anc
every kind, slice fine, add about 8
cup of water and boil slowly unit
soap is melted. 1t will be like soft
jelly about as soon as it cools. It will
make your hair gleam, it will be Sc
clean. wash my hair when I have
a permanent and my hair dresser
always wants to know what kind ol
soap I use and "how do I get my
hair so clea1." My hair is oily ane
hard to get clean, too; this is tht
reason I wash it myself, the shop:
never get it really clean.
Incidentally, many women want
to get their enamel pans whitenee

the brown or dark spots and you Car

Can any one tell me how. I could
get the picture and text called Tn
dian Summer? 1 have seen this
in a Washington paper several times
but it is not very suitable for franz
ing. Also, there is story about a
mans servant who went to market
and met Death in the street. He
was so frightened he took flight to
another town. The servants master
asked Death why he had frightened
his servant so, and Death told him
he was only surprised at seeing the
servant there, when he had an ap-
pointment with him in another
town for which he had left in such
a hurry. Who wrote that and where
could I find it complete in printed

SPAGHETTI SAUCE;
HOT MILK CAKE?

From Mrs. E. B. T., Washington.
To Mrs. E. T., Arlington, here is a
recipe for real Italian spaghetti
sauce. It takes quite little time to
prepare but is well worth the effort
Slice 2 ounces of salt pork thin
and fry in pan over very low
flame, taking care that it does not
smoke or burn, as this will give the
sauce bitter taste. Cut half a
pound of beef into small pieces
and fry these in the fat, from
which salt pork was removed, cook
ing it at low temperature. When
half done, add Glove of garlic,
chopped very fine, SO that there will
be no trace Of the pieces. Now add
a teaspoon of mountain mint wrap
ped in cloth and tied with string.
Be sure and keep the meat well
covered while cooking, SO to retain
the odors which give it flavor, salt
and pepper to taste. When the
meat is done add l can Of tomatoes
put through strainer and cans
OF tomato paste and 8 medium size
onions grated. One bay leaf can
also be added. Cook slowly until
the mixture thickens to the right
consistency, stirring often.
In using salt and pepper, use these
as you add the different ingredients
This gives a more delicious flavor.
When you put the meat in, salt and
pepper it just the right amount.
When tomatoes are added, salt and
pepper again.
The mountain mint in this recipe
may be the seasoning that Mrs. E. T.
lcannot identity in the sauce served
lat local restaurants. The can of to-
lmatoes used in this recipe should be

fruit-the amounts to depend on
your own taste. Canned juices
may be used If they are unsweet-

medium or large sized pineapple
this must be done with an electric
mixer. The amount of sweeten-
ing should be as follows: Two meas
ures of sugar to one measure OF
water, boiled until sugar is thor
oughly dissolved. This does not
take as much sugar as it sounds
as the juices themselves have some
natural sweetness. One cup of SUI
gar makes enough sweetening fol
enough punch for 20 people. Store
sugar and fruit juice mixture in
cold place until ready to serve. Put
pineapple ice in punch bowl (quan-
tity again depending on taste), ado
fruit juices and gingerale. Canned
grapejuice may be added if desired

some IS years ago or so.
The lady did not say, however,
whether Mr.. Augustini was also
a member of the fire department,
or what kind of language he used
when a four-alarm fire broke out
and interrupted his classes.
What she did tell us is that the
membership of the fire department
was purely voluntary. If you were
a member and didn't show up when
the alarm was sounded you were
fined.
You had, you see, very little ex-
cuse for not showing up when the
alarm went out. Because the alarm
consisted in ringing all the church
bells in town. =
POOR Mr.. AUGUSTINE We're
pretty sure that this business OF
ringing the churchbelis must be
true, because the husband OF the
lady who called us is the man
who was in charge Of pulling the
bell-ropes.
Now, we find all this information

we're still mighty worried about
poor Mr.. Augustini and his dancing

He must have had a terrible

custom, and the will of the people.
The right to strike so as to paralyze
the nation is, nc matter what the
statutes say, not now a right when
the government could permit
Messrs. Whitney and Johnston to
exercise. They could have pre-
served the right to call a general
railroad strike. Once they exer-
cised the right, there was no a1tern-
alive but to take that right away
from them.
They will have missed the mean
ing of what happened on Saturday
if they think only about how vlo-
lently and crudely they were de-
prived Of their right to strike. The
fundamental point is that they
had to be deprived OF the right
to conduct a general railroad
strike. A wiser, more constitu-
tional. measure to achieve this
end can undoubtedly be worked
out. But it will have to be a wise
and constitutional measure which
deprives them Of the right to con-
duct such general strikes. It can.
not be a measure which does not
deprive them of that right. For
if it is, and they again exercise
the right, they will once again be
met by drastic measures.
