Put all the littia left-over pieces of candles in a little cotton bag. Place this on the ironing table and occasionally pass the iron over it. You will not be troubled with having the iron stick. Having the children use paper nap- kins for handkerchiefs when at home proves a great saving. It often pre- vents a head cold from infecting a whole family. The paper napkins of soft tissue paper can be easily burn- ed, which is the right treatment for such germs. Germ-laden Linen is diffi- cult to launder properly.

UI falls, there is little chance of its be- ing eaten, and the scraps are usually fed to the chickens. Looking over the last lists of groceries which you have bought brings home the lesson that thrift is as vital as it was durs ing 'the war. Aviating prices make it impefative that no food be wasted. So earning to cook by training the eye through experience only is a costly method to use. On the other hand, learning to cook by following good recipes; and meas- uring 'accurately, assures success. Of course, painstaking care is essential. | The flour, baking powder, lard--all must be measured carefully. But just as the person measures the size of the room in computing the amount of paper needed to coved the walis to avoid waste, so needs the housewife to measure the ingredients she is EY aan may secure the results the recipe promises. 'If's economical to cook by measuring unless the eye is already trained by long years of experience. And, more than that, every girl, wo- man and man can cook well if they measure and combine foods properly. To measure accurately the house- wife needs a few utensils which are designed for this purpose. Nothing elaborate or expensive is required. In fact, I have a few measuring tools in my kitchen which I use daily; 1 consider them essential in the pre- paration of my meals. First of all are the measuring cups. Two are sufficient, although four are fre- quently helpful. One is of glass; it holds one cupful or one-half pint. It is graduated, and one can measure one-fourth, one-half, and three-fourths of a cupful accurately with it. Glass measuring cups have an ad- vantage over other kinds in that ther transparency permits one fo see when the half-cupful line is reached. Metal measuring cups are very substantial, , and I believe every household needs a one-quart aluminum measuring cup. { These measuring cups vary in price, i of course, but are inexpensive in most shops. In my store there is a com- | plete line ranging from 15 to 35 cents, Spoons for measuring also help to insure accuracy. I have a trio of spoons fastened together by a ring;!" they are useful. They hold one-fourth, i one-half, and one teaspoonful. They may be purchased from 10 to 20 cents. Why have them? That is what the | vegetable knife; using when following recipes that she! than a wire one, place the linen square, housewife asks béfore making any inside the wire strainer and pour the purchase.

To be sure, you know women who have always been able to add a pinch of this, a Hand- ful of that, and a speck of some other ingredient and produce the best cake you have ever eaten. So do I. But before one achieves success in being able to judge amounts accurate- ly, there must be many trials made and, naturally, many failures, dis- couraging moments, and waste of food. When the cake contains too} much soda, not enough sugar, Some time ago there was held in England a "Wonders of Science Exhi- bition" which served to reveal many. marvels to the public unfamiliar with the work done with the microscope, ' the microphone and the micrograph. The microphoae magnifies sound "as the microscope does things seen. The micrograph is the instrument used by the scientist in taking pictures of things shown by the microscope. More people are familiar, to some extent, 'with the microscops than with the They know it is possible A objects entirely outside of the range of in vision visible by the use of the telescope for great |: diatances and by the niieroscope for minute things close by; but few ha knowledge of tho device by w ve Few teacups hold exactly this In fact, they vary greatly in pint. much. size, When a recipe calls for a cup of any food ingredient, the best way to be sure one is using that much is to measure with a graduated measuring cup. The same is true about spoons; they vary in size, but not so much as cups. However, the bowls of meas- uring spoons are round, so when the spoonful is divided into fourths, for instance, there will be no mistake made as there is when the ordinary spoon is used, for the tip is narrower than the handle end. Scales are helpful also. Fréquently ipes give the weight of materials windward of the point where a herd of "caribou will cross.an open plain over which a fresh breeze is sweeping and it must be apparent that only an infinitely minute particle of whatever. matter may be given off fromhis body' Lor clothing can possibly reach the nog- if the man is com from sight by a rise the ground the caribo less catch would be warned of wolf in the same wi trils of any one deer in the herd.

If one is measur. ing-a 'cupful, the material is piled lightly into the cup with a tablespoon! and then leveled off with a spatula knife. Flour is always sifted once before being measured. ! 2 A cup or spoon of liquid is all that the cup or spoon will hold. In meas- uring butter; lard, or any other solid fat, it is packed down tightly with & spoon and then made level with a knife. If one-half cup of fat is needed, { or any part of a cupful, as far as that 'is concerned, it is easier to measure it by tablespoonfuls, remembering that sixteen tablespoonfuls are equal to a cupful. When a few tablespoon- fuls are needed, they may be measur- ed by teaspoons if one desires, for three teaspoons hold the same amount as does one tablespoon. ' Recipes frequently give definite in- formation as to how the materials are combined. Perhaps the most familiar term is stirring. Stirring is a circular motion used to combine the wet and dry ingredients in a recipe, and to keep the food from sticking and burn- | ing while cooking. Beating is an over and over motion which introduces air 'and makes mixtures smooth. Cutting is a horizontal motion with knives used for combining shortening and dry materials © without = blending ' them. Cutting and folding is a combination cally through the mixture and turning over and ever by sliding the spoon across, the bottom of the mixing bowl each turn. . As You Make It.
