The moles can be removed “There is no special section in my cook books devoted to recipes that help the housewife use up milk or cream that happens to sour,” writes a column reader. “Won't you please give a number of such recipes’ The following are good: Sour Corn L.—1 scant cup corn' meal, % cup flour, 1 well beaten egg. 1 cup thick sour milk, % tea- spoon soda, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon melted beef dripping or butter, % teaspoon salt. Dissolve the soda in a little hot water, and it to the sour milk. Sift the dry ma- terials together, add to them the milk, the egg. and the melted short- ening and turn into greased muffin rings. Bake about thirty minutes in a good oven. (Sour cream may be used instead of the milk if desired). Eggless Sour Milk Cookies.—¥% cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup thick sour milk or cream, % teaspoon soda, 1-3 teaspoon ground cinnamon, % tea- spoon ground clove, a pinch of salt, d 2 cups flour. Cream butter and sugar. Dissolve the soda in a very little hot water and add it to the milk. Mix all together, making a soft dough, flouring the board sparingly as you roll it out. It is best to chill it before rolling out. Roll thin, cut with cookie cutter, sprinkle each cookie with granulated sugar mixed with a little more cinnamon, and bake about eight minutes in a hot oven. Emergency Biscuits.—Two cups flour, one tablespoon shortening, one cup thick sour milk, one-quarter tea- ispoon salt, and one-half teaspoon soda. Sift the flour, salt and soda to- gether. Rub the lard into this with a spoon, then add the sour milk and stir lightly. (It _should a soft | dough.) Drop by spoonfuls into lgnn.ud muffin tins and bake twenty < minutes in a hot oven. These are very good. Sour Cream Spice Cake.—One cup sour cream, one cup sugar, one well- beaten egg, one teaspoon soda, one cup raisins chopped and floured, pinch of salt, two cups bread flou one-half teaspoon vanilla, two tea. spoons grated nutmeg, two teaspoons o d envelope the information will be mailed to you. Hazel B, Baby, B. E. Brownle, Marguerite.—The girl of five feet nine should weigh 145 pounds. The one at fourteen should weigh 105. B. should weigh the same. The girl of fifteen years, five and a half, should weigh 125 pounds. At eighteen and five feet one inch tall, the weight should be 115 pounds. Irene H—Two or three drops of benszoin in the rinse water after bath- ing the face will help to keep the skin white. The juice from cucumbers is a good summer bleach. Blue Eyes, John P. Leslie G.. A. D., Ophelia.—Blackhea: pimples and ofly skins should be treated where they originate—in the digestive tract. The blackhead begins by being an overworked pore, that is struggling to free the system of impurities. In this state it is an easy matter for it to become a place for dirt to lodge. 1t does not take long before this dirt be- Laura.

Clear the system. Try the yeast treatment, correct the diet and all these imperfections will leave. Black- heads will yield in time, after clear- ing the skin with creams. ground cinnamon, one teaspoon all- spice, one-half teaspoon ground clove. Dissolve st in a little hot water and add it to the sour cream. Then mix the cream with sugar, egg, flour sifted with salt and spic and add the raisins last. Bake as a loaf for one hour in a moderate oven; or, if preferred, bake in cup-cake tins in a hot oven for twenty-five to thirty minutes. (This is fine for the double cream, intended for whipping, which has gone sour. It is just as good a recipe, however, for ordinary cream.) The cream may be collected each day for several days, until there is a cup- ful, if a little salt is added to it. Sour Cream Filling for Cake— Whipped cream which has gone sour may be used for this purpose. Mix equal quantities of sour cream, chopped nuts and chopped raisins. Sweeten to suit taste with powdered sugar and flavor with lemon juice or a drop or two of lemon extract. Par- ticularly good with dark-chocolate layer cake. Sour Milk Graham Bread.—Sift to- géther one cup Graham flour and on ; add one-quarter tea. ing powder and sift again. one teaspoon soda in a little hot water and add it to one cup of thick sour milk, then mix this milk with one-half cup of molasses. Combine wet and dry ingredients and turn into a greased bread pan (this makes one loaf). Bake one and one-half hours in a moderate oven. MENU FOR A DAY. Breakfast.

It is well to observe that Castoria is prepared today, as it has been for the past 40 years, under the personal supervision of Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher. What have makers of imitations and substitutes at stake? What are their responsibilities? To whom are they answerable? They spring up today, scatter their nefarious wares broadcast, and disappear tomorrow. Could each mother see the painstaking care with which the prescription for Fletcher's Castoria is prepared: could they read the innumerable testimonials from « |grateful mothers, they would never listen to the subtle pleadings and false arguments - .of those who would offer an imitation of, or substitute for, the tried and true Fletcher's Castoria.

The question seemed to have been settled rather definitely for the mo- ment. It seemed high time that women were following another lead in clothes. The well of Egyptian clothes_inspiration has been dralned quite dry, and the shades of Cleo- patra must have become uneasy over some of the apparel that was linked with her name. Oylent Seemed Ex From China the French designers had taken what suited them. and it is not the easiest thing to put Chi- nese inspiration Into modern French that some of Flaubert's descriptions of his herbine’s clothes might be considered useful directions for making evening frocks in the pres- ent mode. If Salammho reappeared dressed as Flaubert imagined her, she would probably not create more of & stir than would Empress Eugenie if she reappeared, not 4 what we call a second empire frock of todey, but in one that was actually made in the. second empire. The sketch shows a frock of Capt.! Molyneux’s designing. It i¥ made with a foundation of silver cloth with an overdrapery of bright blue lace.

Japan was an old story. There had been fits of Persian fever and Turk- ish _harems had been ransacked for clothes inspirations and had been found If not quite lacking surely not as replete with suggestions as we had expected. India had been bled and the near east had given plentiful _suggestions. Poiret ~ had done his best to bring Algerian and Moroccan _fashions into vogue and had been fairly successful. It looked very much as if there was nothing left in the orient. A sudden transition seemed to have set in and French dressmakers set seri- ously to work to adapt the composite fashion of the second empire to the requirements of the post-bellum third republic. The Day of Carthage. Then somebody must deliberately have set about looking for more ogjental’ flelds to conquer. And somebody—it is always hard to_tell just how these things happen after- ward—hit upon Carthage. It might have been due te a rereading of Gustave Flaubert's Salammbo. Pub- lished as it was in the zenith of the Eugenie mode, Flaubert’s laborious researches into the costumery of the anclent Phoenecians could not have had any possible influence on the mode of women’s clothes at the time.

There are many ways to use green tomatoes, and while they are not so valuable food as ripe ones, yet they contain valuable acids and mineral salts which aid digestion. For fried green tomatoes. choose fairly large, firm tomatoes, slice them half or three-quarters of an inch thick, dip the slices in egg slightly, or meal sifted very fine, and fry in butter or substitute until a forw will thrust easily through them. Turn them only once. Bacon fat is excellent for frying green tomatoes. For green tomato pickle add three- quarters of a cup of salt to four quarts of chopped green tomatoes. Let stand over night and drain. Then add two teaspoonfuls of pepper, three each of mustard, cinnamon, allspice, one of cloves to two parts of clder vin- egar, heat to beiling point, add toma- toes, four sliced green peppers and two chopped onions. Boil a quarter of an hour and pack in an earthen crock. Another recipe for green tomato pickle which is very good is as fol- lows: Slice thin a peck of green to- matoes and four large white onions; sprinkle alternate layers with a cup of salt and let stand overnight. Drain, add half an ounce of cloves, allspice and peppercorns, half a cup of brown mustard seed, a pound of brown sugar and four green peppers, chopped fine. Cover with cider vinegar, heat slowly, and boil half an hour. A sweet green tomato preserve is made with four quarts of sliced green tomatoes, four sliced lemons and eight cups of sugar. Lay tomato, lemon and sugar one on another in an earthen crock, and let stand overnight. Cook slowly for two hours. (Copyright, 1921.) s 1 In Your Maid’s Room. An attractive, well furnished maid's room is often a great help in get- ting the sort of maid you would like to have. The kind of cook who will keep the kitchen neat and clean and the maid who takes an interest in keeping your house in order is the kind who will not be attracted to work for you if you offer her an un- attractive, badly furnished room. The floor of the maid’s room should always be bare. That is, it should never have a carpet. If it is not stained the cracks should be filled and it should be painted. Small rugs are the best sort of covering because it is 80 easy for these to be cleaned. Often from pieces of discarded carpet you can get good pieces for small rugs which can be bound around and used for bedroom rugs of this sort. Wash- able rag rugs are inexpensive and a good selection, though they are not so warm as the carpet rugs in cold weather. If possible have the maid’s room finished with an oil. paint. This is better than paper or water tint be. cause of the ease with which it ca !|be washed. With the possibility of | new maids coming to fill the place of the old it is only fair to have walls that can be washed for the new occu- pants of the room. Many of the high- est class hotels have painted walls in the bedrooms. Walls painted with water-mixed paints are not satisfac- tory because of the fact that they show stains so readily. Choose blankets or washable quilts for the maid’s room rather than com- forters that cannot be washed so easily. k Prize Sponge Cake. Success in making this cake depends upon thé amount of air beaten into both the yolks and the whites of the eggs, and the expansion of that air in the cooking. Genuine sponge cake and gingerbread are often ruined be- cause baked in too hot an oven. So- called sponge cakes, which have the addition of baking powder or soda and cream of tartar, require the same oven temperature as butter cakes. A prise sponge cake recipe is as follows: Beat the yolks of six eggs until thick lemon colored, with one- flour, Th“ and sifted fourth teaspoon of salt, tura into a buttered and floured angel cake pan and baks in & siow oven for one hour. —— Prices realised on Swift & Ce. sales of gacass beet in Wasbington, D.

The task of getting up “company” dinner is much simplified if you have a good selection of little kitchen con- veniences that make the different tasks in food preparation easier. In fact, it is often possible to give a cer- tain finish to your dishes if you have these tools at your disposal that ‘would be impossible otherwise. An ordinary dish of vegetables or an inexpensive meat becomes distinc- tive and attractive if it is garnishea with attractively cut-out pieces of vegetable. A single boiled beet, sliced thin, may be cut into attractive little sha by means of these vegetable to form attractive garnish- ing for potato or other salad. Carrots, potatoes, sliced raw apple, sliced pineapple are among the fruits and vegetables that may be cut by these cutters. One set may be bought for less than a dollar that contains a half-dogzen different shapes, crescents, roses, etc. There is a little rotary knife that can be bought for a small amount that greatly simplifies the problem of cutting parsley, celery, =nd other vegetables. If you want miaced vege- tables of different sort to use in Rus- slan sulad dressing a knife of this sort greatly helps. There are egg-slicers that are used to cut cold boiled cggs in even slices for garnishing salads, spinach and other dishes. Attractive effects may be gained if you have a tube to use in making ornamental effects with whipped stars, Banana Marshmallow Custard. Place in a saucepan taree-fourths of a cup of sugar, two cups of milk and one-half cup of cornstarch. Stir to dissolve and then bring t» a boil and cook slowly for five minutes; add one well-beaten egg. one teaspoon of vanilla and one-half cup of marsh- mallow whip.
