One holiday is no sooner over than
we're deep in plans for the next
one. Between now and Christmas
there will be SO many "extras" on
your daily schedule you won't have
q minute to yourself. But you can
save q little time by using fresh
winter fruits for desserts in place
Of pies and cakes which take more
time to prepare.
Grapefruit dominates the fruit
stage at the moment. The supplies
are the best they've been in long
time, the quality Is excellent and
the price Is right. What more can
you ask? Broiled grapefruit makes
dessert that it both quick and
healthful. Simply dot each half
with dab Of butter and a teaspoon
Of. brown sugar and put 1t under
the broiler until it Is thoroughly
heated and lightly Drowned. Or If
you like something quite out Of the
ordinary let me suggest you try the
addition of a new spice in liquid
form, Angostura bitters. Sprinkle
q teaspoon Of sugar and tablespoon
of the bitters over each half. Let
the bitters seep through the sugar
and into the grapefruit.
Another fruit that is at the peak
of goodness now are the Anjou
pears. While not as cheap as grape
fruit, they do bring breath Of
summertime to your table. Tan
gerines, oranges, grapes and apples
are more Of the winter fruits that
will do double duty for salads and
desserts. A salad of tangerine Sec
tions and fresh pear slices, for in
stance, is lovely to look at and
better to eat. Or dip cored pear
halves in orange juice and serve
with blue cheese dressing. The
orange juice prevents darkening.
If you're longing for something diff
ferent in the elegant" class, add
chopped crystallized ginger to
whipped cream and fill the centers
of the cored pear halves. 1t is
good dish to remember If you're due
to entertain the bridge club during
this busy month.
There seems to be about every
thing in the vegetable line. Toma-
toes are a bit better in quality this

week; kale, collardS, turnlp and
mustard green's Is well Is q good
variety Of salad green's are plentiful
now. Squash Is a little scarce but
Canadian rutabagas are in good
supply and the quality Is very nice.
AL members Of the cabbage clan are
listed among the best buys Of the
week, that means cabbage, Brussels
sprouts and caulidower. All three
are excellent sources Of the vitamin
G, too.
It's . good idea to know where to
find low-cost sources of this vitamin
during the winter months. They
also share two other interesting
qualities. The calorie count is mod
est if you're being careful about
your calorie intake these days. In
q 100-gram edible portion Of cauli-
flower (somewhat less than Y
pound, you get 81 calories of food
energy. The comparable value for
cabbage is 20. And the third char
acteristic they have in common is
their affinity for cheese. Serve
them as scalloped dishes with
cheese, au gratin or with just a
simple cheese sauce.
This is the season of the year
when pork supplies always increase,
and a pork roast will probably fea-
ture on your weekend marketing
list. If pork shoulder roast, known
as pork shoulder butt or Boston
butt, pops up in your meat shopping
path, here's a hint to purchase this
thrifty cut for Sundays dinner. Not
only is it a thrifty buy, but also it
is preferred by some to fancier loin
roasts. Roast the shoulder butt as
you would a loin roast-in an un-
covered roaster without water-but
give it slightly longer cooking time
due to its chunkiness and small
percentage of bone.

useful supplement to the kitchen
range rather than substitute for 1t,
equipment specialists of the United
States Department Of Agriculture
explain In response to queries about
the use of this appliance. To make
good buy In roaster, they offer
the following suggestions: A rec
tangular shape permits fuller use
than an oval shape. A large roaster,
around 18 quarts capacity, is more
practical than smaller size. A
broiler rack in an inset pan is more
convenient than one in the roaster
lid because 1t can be used in both
broiling and frying. Separate small
inset pans, if made Of ovenware or
glass, are good looking enoughFto go
direct from roaster to dining table.
thus saving time and dish washing.
Beef Is the meat that supplies
cuts for pot roasts. Two well-known
ones come from the chuck, or fore
arm section. These are the arm and
and the blade-bone pot roasts, with
their characteristic round and long
bone, respectively. However, there
are other beef cuts cooked as pot
roasts which come from the rump
and shank sections. Among these
are the heel of round, rump (stand-
ing or bone6 and the cross-cut
beef shanks which are cooked as
small individual pot roasts. :. Di-
lutte peach jam with a little hot wa.

Scoop the centers from chocolate or

la ice cream. Replace the slice from
the top, cover with the peach sauce
and serve Instead of frying
oysters in deep fat, try this: Dip
large oysters in undiluted evaporated
milk seasoned with salt and pepper,
then in very fine dry breadcrumbs
and place them close together on q
buttered shallow pan. Broil for 3
minutes in q preheated broiling
oven.

50th ANNIVERSARY.

From Mrs. II. E. B., McLedn.J
To Mrs. A. r. K, Alexandria: 1r
regard to her parents 50th Ami
yersary to be celebrated in February
may I suggest very pretty anc
novel way to present money, which
was used when my aunt and uncle
were married so years.
Take a small bush or several small
branches from a tree, faSten securely
in a flower pot or container, SO II
can be placed on table, then cover
this container and each part of the
bush with gold colored paper. Cut
out of same gold paper leaves OF
flowers, some Of both if you are tai
ell IL rncking them, as many as
the money you intend to give, re-
gardless of the sum you give. Have
either one dollar bills or so cent
pieces as the more you have the
more attractive your bush Will be:
Either paste or fasten with small
clips, the money on the leaves and
flowers. You will be surprised what
!, lovely flower bush you will have
II know you will receive many nice
compliments.
For refreshments suggest either
ham or chicken salad sandwiches
Either bake or buy angel food cakes,
cut in slices, place slice on plate
directly on center Of slice, a canned
half peach with rounded side OF
peach up. Surround peach half with
whipped cream. Delicious, also very
attractive and carries out golden an
niyersary idea. Serve either hot cof-
fee or cocoa.
Hope your celebration will be a
happy success, and many more
blessed years for your dear parents

USES FOR STALE BREAD.
ELECTRIC MIXERS?

(From V. E. r., Washington.)
For M. E., who would like uses
for stale bread, I would like to
offer two suggestions. One is to
soak the dried stale bread in milk
or tomato soup and use as stretcher
in meat loaf. A great deal OF stretch
ing can be done that way. The
other suggestion is for something
my mother used to concoct for sup
per once in a while when the bread
supply got ahead of her. So far
as can remember, she soaked dry
bread In milk and then mixed 1t
with beaten egg to which had been
added a dash of salt and of sugar.
That made a stiff batter, which
she then treated as though 1t were
pancake batter and served with but
ter and sirup. That, as well as
French toast, can be used for break
fast If you like to eat heartily in
the morning.
I should appreciate advice from
users of electric mixers. I wish to
get one for my mothers Christmas
present but, having had no expert
ence with them, have no idea as
to bugs" to avoid when making my
selection. I imagine that mother
would use the mixer for mashing
potatoes, mixing cookie batter, ETC.,
and I strongly suspect that dad
would operate the juicer and whip
up milkshakes.
Il Il Il
MERINGUE.
(From Mrs. J. X, Hyattsuille.)
I make my filling first, then the
pie crust. AS soon as the crust is
baked, I remove 1t from the oven,
pour in the filling, then add the
meringue, anchoring it to the crust.
This keeps it from slipping.
A little too much sugar as well as
the humidity in the atmosphere
causes the meringue to weep" The
latter cannot be controlled.

The last Legislature put some

officers find is being violated by
many who say they m not ac-
quainted with the provisions of the
law, particularly those who store
the meat in commercial cold storage

meat for sale. The law is intend

loss by rustlers, although recognize
ing the right of a stock raiser to
kill beef and veal for his own use,
by himself and a few neighbors.
To make itself effective the law
requires that ample proof of owner
ship shall be preserved at all times.
The law is also intended to prevent
the hiding of illegal or stolen meat
in storage lockers and provides
fines for violations.
Complying with the law is easily
done by having the carcass and its
complete hide, including the head,
inspected by a sheriff or deputy
