GUTON?

w 402Ss
(From Mrs. N. Z. S., Washington. J
I wonder if any one could give me
a recipe for guton? I don't know
whether that is the correct spelling.
1t is French-Canadian recipe for a
sandwich filling made from ground
pork butts. It seems impossible to
buy this cut Of meat ready ground
in this area so I wondered If 1t
would be possible to do this at home.
If so. would pork shoulder be the
right cut to ask for?
I would also like to know how to
prepare the salted herbs used in the
French-Canadian recipe for pea
soup. They look as If they might be
made from the dried tops of spring
onions. would certainly appreciate
any information about these.

POUND CAKE.

From Mrs. S. d. p, Washington.)
I read with interest the query
in the matter Of the amount Of milk
for the Black Walnut Pound Cake,
but I always understood that q
pound cake contains neither milk
nor baking powder. At present
prices true pound cake is indeed q
luxury. but we have compromised
on q recipe which makes two de-
licious cakes at no great cost. I am
sending a copy and hope if you
try it you'll find 1t as delicious as
we do.
Ciara's Walnut Pound Cake:
Three-fourth pound shortening
(half butter), pound sugar, eggs,
/ pound -four, salt as desired. l
teaspon vanilla, z nutmeg grated
y pound black walnuts, box
seeded or seedless raisins. Have
shortening room temperature and
stir the sugar in gradually, beating
to dissolve the grain. Then add
eggs one by one and beat after each
egg. Then the -four, salt. nutmeg
and vanilla. OF course you have
prepared the nut meats and raisins
beforehand and turned them into a
bowl with a little of the flour. I do
not use the whole box of raisins.
I bake in two pans, each lined
with wax paper, using steeple
pan, and an oblong bread pan of
medium size. Bake about so min
utes, starting with medium oven
and increacing heat after cake has
risen. Sometimes think that the
main thing is in the baking. My
friends laugh. but for years I've
always tried to have the smaller
cake a little sad" You may cheat
little by adding half teaspoon
of baking powder to the last OF
the -four.

CIGARETTE BURN?
SOUR CREAM DATE COOKIE,

(Etom Mrs. r. W. D., Richmond.)
Can some one please tell me what
to do about cigarette burn on
blond table top? The burn is not
very deep, but certainly ruins the
appearance of the end table. Is
there something I could put on it
at home, as I fear to have it re-
finished would entirely change the
color of the wood which is now a
lovely satinlike honey shade.
Here is a good reciDe to use up

SAUERBRATEN AND POTATO
DUMPLINGS?

Will some generous reader send
me proven recipes for sauerbraten
and potato dumplings? I should
like to purchase a regional Pennsyl-
vania Dutch cookbook, preferably
one published by some organiza ton
in the Lancaster, Pa, or other Penn
sylvania Dutch area.
May I suggest that instead of US
ing milk to scallop oysters, add
water to the liquor, enough to barely
reach top of oysters in casserole. Use
quantities of butter and season
highly. bake at least one hour. De-

FEEDING BABY.
GG021N0 0I10 I
from L. B. S., Siluer Spring.


c. M. j., Washington, wants to
know how to break q baby from its
night time bottle. I don't know
whether she means the 2 am. or
the 10 pm. Also the age of the
baby would be helpful. Some babies
need the extra nourishment Of that
extra feeding. I have had three
babies and each one gave up their
night feeding at different times.
My first baby, girl, gave up the
2 am. at about six weeks, but not
the 10 pm. until nearly six months
old. She was not a big eater. and
needed to eat more often. My
second child. a boy, had q large
capacity and was taking 40 ounces
of milk at about two months old,
ounces in S bottles each day. He
gave up his am. feeding before
he was one month old and his 10
pm. at about four months old. My
third child, little girl of four and
a half months never had a 2 am.
feeding from the time she came
home from the hospital at four days
of age, and 10 pm. feeding has
been unheard of for several months.
Occasionally, she wakes up during
the night and Is hungry. We al
ways feed her then. This only
occurs once in two or three weeks.
All my babies have had very con-
centrated formulas, something like
Is ounces evaporated milk and II
ounces water plus the dextrose and
maltese sugar used in infant feed
ing. They seem to get enough to
eat during the day so that they
are not hungry at night. OF course,
babies vary greatly in their individ-
ual needs. Your doctor should be
able to help you. Maybe your baby
has too dilute a formula to supply
its needs. Babies do not get in
the habit of taking a nighttime
bottle. They cry for food when
they are hungry. not just to be
ornery. When they are satisfied,
they will not cry for more. That
has been my experience with three
babies. It's no fun to be hungry
and have some one refuse to give
you food just because they think
you shouldn't have it. There is
some good reason why babies cry
for that bottle. Find out what it is
and remedy it and baby will be glad
to sleep the clock around for you.
This is the first time have writ
ten to RICH, but I have read and
enjoyed it for about three years
since coming to Washington from
Richmond, Va. 1t certainly hes
helped me in many ways and I
say, Long life to it!
(Fronl Mrs. D. S., Wdshington.)
This letter is for c. M. j. A night
time bottle is not a habit. It is a
necessity for sume babies longer
than others. My own baby woke
for a bottle at night all during the
teething period. When he felt like
eating more during the day he no
longer awakened at night because
he didn't need to.
I know you are looking forward 10
an uninterrupted night of sleep and
If you will be patient that time will
soon come. Night feelings are
phase of infancy that babies get
over by themselves Don't rush him

DIAPER SERVICE:

From Mrs. r. J. OH, Washington. }
To Mrs. G. e. G., East Riverdale
I had diaper service for my second
baby and thought it was wonderful.
I advise all expectant mothers to
have it as it is such a help. There
are enough things to do when you
have q new baby and having some
one else care for the diapers takes
a large part of the load of your
own weary shoulders. I had the
service from the company which
serviced the hospital in which my
baby was born, this company did
all blankets, gowns, etc., for the
which I thought q wonder
full recommendation. These diapers
were the whitest I've ever seen and
were ironed, which Is unusual,
believe. My baby received many
compliments on his main piece of
attire! The name Of the company
suggests baby's man-servant.
The cost is negligible when you
count the many advantages. I in
tend to have the service for any
future baoies.
(From Mrs. H. F., Washington
Diaper service is one of the most
wonderful conveniences to any
mother today. It saves many hours
of old fashioned drudgery, and such
valuable service Is not expensive.
You are saved hours of messy work

By Top Dairy Official

The, head of the country's big

Agriculture subcommittee today
that the farmer is receiving more
from the consumers dollar for his
milk than he did 10 years ago.
L. A. Van Bomel, the $50, ,000-
a-year president of the National
Dairy Products Corp. was the first
witness as the subcommittee
opened . hearing into the spread
between prices received by the
farmer and those the consumer
pays. The subcommittee is headed
by Senator Gillette, Democrat, of
Iowa.
Mr.. Van Bomel. under ques-
tioning. said his company, with

q return Of approximately of 10
per cent on its $26l 900 900 capi-

The Americans are Connie

cember. Onstott told the Dutch
court the arms were supplied by
George Murray, Manila dealer in
American war surplus.
Murray, former United States

from Kansas City, was shot to
death as he slept in his Manila
home August 13. His widow, a
Filipino socialite, is accused of
murder.

tion grew out of the probe into

Onstott, Hallam and Seigrist
also told the Dutch court they
believed the guns in their plane
were consigned to Malayan plant
ers who were then fighting Com
munist insurgents on the penin-
sula. The Dutch maintained the
guns were for .Indonesian Repub-
lican forces who were fighting
Dutch rule in the East Indies.

"Yes, sir-sorne of thern,' Mr..
Van Bonel replied. - ..t. ..,
In discussing his company's
profits. he said a few concerns
could perform good service on such
a small margin and survive.
The sale OF fluid milk is only
a part, and not the major part,
of the company's business. Mr..
Van Bomel said the company
markets a variety of foods, stock
and poultry feeds. pharmaceuti-
Gals and other products. He said
the farmer gets a higher return
by the fact the company is able
to use skim milk and other for
mer waste products in it's diver
Sif1ed business. And he said the
company is now invetigating how
atomic energy may be used in
dairy and other food processing
Another witness today was
Theodore G. Montague. president
of the Borden Co. of New York
He said in general the profit per
quart of milk is so small as to
permit no reduction of price even
if stock holders were willing to
forego all profits.
Senator Gillette said earlier
that farmers are. being blamed
unjustly for high food prices
which actually result from dis
tribution y and processing costs
that are obviously out of line"
The housewife, Senator Gillette
said, judges the cost of foods by
the retail price, and If the spread
maintained in processing or dis
tribution is exorbitant the farmer
gets the blame"

BALTIMORE, Sept. 22.-Three

'I am in favor Of the farme,

duct" he said. "But am equally
emphatic in my belief that the
consumer should be protected
against excessive milk costs
whether they result from alb
normally high business profits OF
whether they are fixed by Gov
ernment decree"
Mr.. Van Bomel split up the con-
sumer's dollar his company re-
ceived this way: To the farmer
$3.50 cents in 1948 against 50.37
in 1899; labor, 15.47 cents against

2.64; other charges, 1895 against

$50.
Salary Discussed.
He said that only because. o1

possible to keep the proportion o1
labor costs from rising even higher
than it is with consequent higher
prices to the consumer.
The amount Of his salary was

Senator Gillette quoted Federal

 PLAYS HERE TO
 LARGE AUDIENCE

From the first note of the Scar latti sonatina to the final crescendo Sf Clair de Lune, Juneau music overs were held enthralled by the beautiful piano playing of Madame Amparo Iturbi, who was presented in concert last evening at the 20th Century The tre by the Juneau Concert Association, and to ca- pacity audience.
 Madame Iturbi executed Scarlat- tis Sonatinas with high degree of skill. Scarlatt..'s music, which vas originally written for the harpsi- chord, has a deceptive simplicity which is a challenge to the concert artist.
 A tremendous applause praised Madame Iturbi's rendition of Hun garian Rhapsody No. 12 by Franz Liszt. She put great deal of teel- ing into the piece and her playing touch was sure.
 All the dulcet music of her na- tive land of Spain was brought out m the artists rendition of The Lady and the Nightingale by Enrique Granados. Her int terpreta ion brought out note of hidden longing in the music.
 Concluding her program was Cho- pins Polona SC in A flat, the stirring song of Polish liberty Through her excellent rendition of the Polonaise members of the audience could live again Chopin's hopes for his native land
 Madame Iturbi played as if she enjoyed every minute at the piano Almost like magic, her love for music was transferred to the audi ence and there was tremendous applause following each number. Madame Iturhi was very gracious about presenting encores. Her en- core numbers. chosen because they are universal favorites, included Chopins Minute Waltz, DeBussys Clair de Lune, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue and Malaguena. Madame Iturbi plans to leave for i the States today after presenting concerts at Fairbanks, Anchorage and Juneau. She was enthusiastic about Alaskan audiences. and said that she felt people here are hun gry for music" and are most ap- prcciatlve and responsive to music. Asked if she plans to return to the Territory. Madame Iturbi said Yes, anytime" She said that when she returns to the States she will tell other artists about Alaska and what wonderful place it is to pre- sent concerts.
 Madame Iturbi played to capacity houses in both Anchorage and Fair banks. In Anchorage, the Concert Association asked her to pi>-sent second concert and promised a capacity house for the second night also.
