TheChef
Says

Did you ever hear of a "low mull?"
I didn't even know what it was
until I was introduced to it in all
its glory at a hunting and fishing
camp at Jackman, Me. 1t is.a
special kind of hunters stew, which
is kept simmering in a big kettle
on the back of the stove, just wait
ing for the cold and tired huntsman
to return with his spoils at the end
Of the day.
I tried to find out the origin Of
the name 'low NULL" but no one
was able to supply the information.
It's just been called that by Maine
woodsmen for generations. If any
of you know it's history I certainly
would like to hear it.
1t is particularly tasty stew,
probably because of its long, slow
cooking and the open-air appetite!
The base for it can be either meat
or fish, depending on which is in
greatest supply The fish or meat is
cut into large cubes. A big kettle
filled with water is set on the stove
and the water brought to boil. A
lot of sliced raw onion is put in,
together with chopped celery and
sliced raw bacon. More bacon is
fried and crisped and then added to
the null pot. Add butter to the
bacon fat in the pan and fry several
onions in this. Add them to the
kitty.
Also toss in the contents of can
of tomatoes and a can of tomato
soup and l lemon, sliced. Season
with sliced garlic, cloves, paprika,
salt, pepper, picked red pepper and
and Tabasco sauce
for good measure. Add substan-
tial amount of cubed raw potatoes
and let all cook about 10 minutes.
Then put in the meat or fish. At
the last, add some more butter and
some more raw onions, chopped.
Let simmer happily for three or
four hours and serve on big plain
pancakes or slabs of cornbread.

WhyGrow
Old?
By Josephine Lowman

We certainly take our feet for
granted! We run and jump on
them, walk and dance on them, and
sometimes even give them extra
pounds to carry about. Foot care Is
always important but 1t is especially
50 in the summertime.
The condition Of our feet is re-
hected in many ways. 1t is just
about impossible to maintain good
posture if our feet are weak, or we
suffer with corns, callouses or In
grown toenails. Weak arches can
make you feel tired all of the time.
Since the foot is composed Of many
small bones it is easily forced into
abnormal positions and shapes. H.
ness, increase in weight, work which
keeps you on your feet most of the
time, can cause aching, painful and
even severe cramps. This djscom-
fort Is sometimes reflected to the
knees, hips and back.
The most usual reason for foot
dificulty is improperly fitted shoes
and stockings. Your stockings should
be half inch longer than your toes.
If you wear these too short they
can cause enlarged joints and bun
ions because they place pressure at
the ends Of your toes. Your shoes
should be longer than your feet and
should be roomy over the toes.
If you need arch supports these
should be fitted for you individually
by a trained person. If you have
painful corns or calluses you would
be wise to have them corrected by
Q chiropodist or a podiatrist.
If you are having trouble this
summer with itching or irritated or
perspiring feet, soak your feet in
a warm solution of salt water, to
which you have added boric acid
powder. Use one tablespoon to each
pint of water. You can also dust the
boric acid powder on your feet and
between your toes, night and morn
ing
If you have a mild callus you wish
to treat yourself, soak your feet for
about twenty minutes in salt water,
using sea salt Afterwards massage
the callus with a rough dry towel.
Always cut your toe nails straight
across the top. Do not cut down at
the corners. This may lead to in
growing nails.
Exercises are important in keep
ing the feet strong and comfortable.
This is especially true il you have
gained weight. You would be wise
to take these as preventative med
icine.
If you would like to have my exer-
cises for the feet, send a stamped,
self-addressed envelope with your
request for leafiet No. IA Take
Care Of Your Feet" to Josephine
Lowman in care of The Evening
Star.

By Betty Miles

After being all but routed by the
high cost of living, women launched
a counterattack. Armed with sew
ing machines, pins and patterns
they created their own costumes,
fitted their own slip covers, made
their own draperies. Doing battle
on still another field, many are
making their own lampshades.
Imitation, albeit unwittingly, has
proved an ally of the crafts. For
economy's sake, Americans are
learning to make many items they
once looked to mass production to
supply. In this, they are fulfilling
the hopes of groups sponsoring hand
work in this country, feeling that,
with many of the European work.
men dead and craft centers de-
stroyed, it was important that these
crafts be practiced here.
In the manner of the fairy with
the wand, Mrs. Laura MCGEE, of
3405 Thirty fourth place NV, con-
verts silk into lampshades, china
into handsome, prlze-Wlnn1ng pieces,
plain fabric into hand-painted, tied
and-dyed, and silk screen printed
material, and canvas into striking
work in oils. Mrs. MCGEE plans to
open a studio shortly where she, will
teach these various arts and crafts
to others.
"The first step in lampshade
Mrs. MCGEE explained,
lis finding a frame, which is no
small task these days. Not many
women make their own lampshades
now, and frames are no longer as
easily found on the market as they
once were" Mrs MCGEE sometimes
buys an inexpensive shade and COW
ers the frame with her own mate
rial. She also plans to buy the wire
and solder it herself.
6 Once found, the frame is wrapped
with material, the better TO pin the
silks and crepes that will be used
later to it. Then, China silk (very
thin silk, cut on the bias, is
stretched taut and pinned, then
sewed to the outside of the frame.
