To avoid it getting lumpy when cooking, sift it slowly into rapidly boiling water to which a little salt has been added, stirring constantly all the time; or moisten the meal in cold water before adding it to boiling water. Cornmeal Griddle Cakes Stir 1/2 cup of cornmeal and 1/2 teaspoonful of salt with 1/2 cup of cold water, then gradually stir into a cup and a half of water, boiling over a quick fire; continue to stir and boil 5 or 6 minutes, then let cook in a double boiler 20 minutes; stir in 3/4 cup of cold milk and turn into a mixing bowl; add the beaten yolks of 2 eggs, 1 tablespoonful of butter, or other fat, 1 cup of flour, sifted again with 3 level teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and the whites of eggs, beaten stiff. Bake at once on a hot griddle. This recipe makes between 30 and 40 cakes.

It may be cooked quickly without waste, and is an economical addition to the diet.

Boiled Rice Put 1 quart boiling water and 1 teaspoonful salt in a double boiler. Add gradually 1 cup rice. Cook rapidly, uncovered, from 20 to 30 minutes without stirring. When rice has absorbed all the water, place tight cover on the double boiler, set on back of range, and let steam finish the cooking. The kernels will be full and distinct, and cooked in this way, rice retains all its nourishment. Rice with Egg Sauce Line a greased bread pan with warm, salted rice. Cover bottom and sides of pan, fill center with any flaked fish, well seasoned, cover top with rice and steam 1 hour. Turn on a platter for serving and surround with egg sauce.

VAN DE WALKER AND THE Peoria Life Insurance Co. 117 Pearl Street Phone 209 Household Suggestions To Remove Stains Warm some mutton tallow and put on the ink stain; place in hot sun or over the hot register for half an hour. Apply soap and rub on washboard with warm water. If white material, put in the boiler; if colored, apply the tallow, etc., until stain disappears. When canning strawberries, after sealing cans, lay can on side and roll over every 10 or 15 minutes until cool, then once every little while until cold, and the berries will fill with juice and be all through the can and not just on top. In making apple pie try the method of leaving the apples in quarters instead of slicing and using no spices. Also mix the sugar and flour in the bottom of the crust before putting in the fruit and the crust will not soak. This is especially necessary in making berry pies. When you wish a rich, dark meat color for soup, use caramel, which is sugar browned in a frying pan until a golden brown, and then dissolved in a little water. To warm over biscuits, muffins or rolls, sprinkle lightly with water, place pan containing them in a pan of hot water and put in oven a few minutes. Keeping lettuce: After washing it thoroughly, place in a cheesecloth bag and hang up in refrigerator.

To preserve ice in a refrigerator: Wrap top of ice well with thick newspaper, keeping the air from ice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- (EasternStar0111) A pinch of baking soda added to any boiled syrup will keep it from crystallizing. A teaspoonful of vinegar added to homemade syrup will keep it from candying after it stands. A teaspoonful of vinegar beaten into boiled frosting when flavoring is added will keep it from being brittle or breaking when cut. If syrup goes back to sugar, reheat, add a small piece of butter, and it will be useful as a soft sugar. When cream will not whip, add the white of an egg to it. Let both cream and egg be thoroughly chilled. Then try again and it will whip easily. Sugar for fried cakes should be dissolved in the milk to prevent cakes from absorbing the grease while frying. A few whole cloves in the kettle of fat give doughnuts a nice flavor. When filling gem pans, leave one of the small sections empty and fill with water. The gems will never scorch. When making fruit pies, put in the sugar when the dish is half full instead of on top. The pastry will be lighter. To brown pies and tarts, use a small pastry brush and brush them with milk before putting them in the oven, and to glaze pies, brush them with the white of an egg if you wish them to be a shiny brown. In making rhubarb, cherry or any berry pie that is very juicy, try beating an egg light, and mixing in the sugar required by the fruit; add a little flour, mix thoroughly and then make as usual. In this way excess of juice will be in the pie and not in the bottom of the oven. When using molasses and it is not as dark as desired for ginger bread or cookies, add a tablespoonful of melted chocolate to molasses and spices, improving the flavor. To keep icing soft, add a pinch of baking soda to the whites of the eggs before beating them, then beat in the usual way and pour the hot syrup over beaten eggs, and it will be soft and creamy. To beat eggs quickly, add a pinch of salt. When making mayonnaise or cooked dressing that is to be kept for several days, add a little gelatine that has been first softened in cold water and dissolved over hot water. Save all the liquid from your mustard pickles and add it to salad dressing in place of fresh vinegar and mustard. When making meat sandwiches, this liquid may be mixed with the meat. Honey may be used to mix with nuts for sandwiches; also used as a filling for tiny baking powder biscuits. In cooking vegetables, cover those that grow under the ground, as onions, etc., leave uncovered all vegetables that grow above ground. Grass stains on clothing should be saturated with alcohol for a short time and then rinse in clear water. Every vestige of string can be removed from string beans if, after thorough washing, you plunge them into boiling water for 5 minutes, then drain. Then the strings readily removed. A few pieces of dried yellow rind of an orange kept in your tea canister will give your tea a delicious fragrance and flavor. A winter chili sauce can be made as needed. Use 2 cans tomatoes, 3 green peppers, diced; 2 onions, diced; 1 tablespoonful cinnamon and 2 of sugar, 1 teaspoonful of cloves and 1 cup of vinegar. Let all simmer together until the juices begin to thicken, then bottle. Do not boil. Use a teaspoonful of salt to each quart of soup. --------------------------------------------------------------------- (EasternStar0112) Never place a meringue upon a hot pudding or pie, as it will shrink and flatten when browned. Allow your pudding or pie to get cold first. The vinegar left from pickled beets is sometimes used in salad dressing instead of regular vinegar. It adds a pretty color and a delightful flavor. Over alternate layers of chopped cooked spinach and cooked noodles or macaroni sprinkle grated cheese and seasonings. Add a cupful of milk and bake 20 minutes in a moderate oven. Add a slice of lemon to the water in which old potatoes are boiling. It will keep them from becoming discolored. If you are cutting down the number of eggs in a cake, add a half teaspoonful of Royal baking powder for each egg white omitted. When making sherbets or ices, try adding the stiffly beaten white of an egg to each quart of the mixture. It will give you a lovely smooth ice. Wrap cheese in a cloth wet with vinegar. Some chopped mushrooms and a half cup of grated cheese added to the cream sauce for fish is a great improvement. Tomatoes are good when stuffed with pork sausage and baked. The jellied salad acts as a welcome substitute for dessert at times. Apples, nuts and celery or chopped raw cabbage can be molded into lemon jelly which is delicious served on crisp lettuce with maynonaise dressing. Soft butter or lard should never be used in making piecrust. Whatever shortening is used should be hard and very cold. Never salt the beef cooked in a fireless cooker until removed for serving. Add a cup of grated cheese to the white sauce for cauliflower and see if you don't find it a very pleasant addition. Currant jelly is good served with crab meat.

The housewife needs not so much technical knowledge as everyday appreciation of what is good and healthful to eat. A poor table may be wasteful. To dine with comfort and pleasure, to promote health and at the same time keep the cook good natured and happy, the diner and the dinner should be ready at the same time. The hot dishes should be hot and the cold dishes should be cold. To have your coffee and salad both lukewarm is ruinous, indeed.
