CYNTHIA GREYS Dear Miss Grey: Will you please tell me where the i0th cavalry, Troop G, were stationed after their retarn from the Philippines? ¥. T. T. A-—Troop G, 10th cavalry, have been stationed at Fort Ethan Al- leon, Vermont, since they returneed from the Philippine Islands. Dear Misa Grey: Sometime ago you printed a recipe for salted or toasted almonds. Mine has disap. peared. Will you kindly give it again as I want so much to try it? A SUBSCRIBER. A.—-Don't know whether the fol- lowing » the same recipe refer- red to, but | am sure tt is just as good. Shell and blanch your al monds by pouring over them boil- jing water. Allow to stand a few moments, and the skins can be slipped off easily. Put about half a teaspoon each of butter and lard into a skillet. and put in enough of the nuts to just cover the bottom. Stir so that they will all be covered with the butter and lard, and k constantly stirring them until y are slightly browned. Take out, and allow them to stand for some time on heavy paper to absorb the ofl After taking them from the stove, sprinkle freely with salt, and if liked, with red pepper or paprika, It is much more gat fafactory and you can brown them more evenly, if only a few are browned at a time. Dear Miss Grey: Would you kindly let me know through Thy Star a cure for chilbiains? [f you don't know of anything that will cure them, perhaps you could prescribe something that would give relief, A SUBSCRIBER. A—A reader of this column, signing herself “Mrs. 3. M.,” haa kindly sent In a remedy for bun fons, which she says is also very good for chilblains. She says, “Take one tablespoonful of salt peter pulvertzed and put it tn half a cup of the strongest vinegar, and let it stand over night tiring saturate cotton and the bunion until morning, and will soom cure ft good for ehilblains.” Another gemedy for chilblains, off fashioned and somewhat painful, 1s to subjeet the feet to as much heat as you can bear, The heat wilt often draw out the Inflam- mation. Dress the feet in warm shoes and stockings and keep dry, as chilblains are greatly aggravat ed by allowing the feet to chill Turpentine applied to chilblains will sometimes greatly relieve them. it Miss Grey What is the necktie fon this winter?
