LOSE WEIGHT S T A R T I N G T O D A Y HOW CAN I? By Anne Ashley Q. How can I monogram some of my glassware per­ manently? A. After cleaning the glassware thoroughly, apply metalized, gummed letters to the glass. Wash away any adhesive that might ooze from the edges. Then spread clear epoxy resin evenly over the monograms, letting it extend about 1-16 inch beyond the edges of the letters. Let harden overnight. With a file or knife, level the coating. Clean and bevel the edges. Scrape smooth with a razor blade. To restore transparency, moisten a small cloth pad with a drop or two of linseed oil and three or four, times as much shellac, and rub evenly over the area until a good shine appears. Q. How can I prevent lumpy flour when mixing a batter? A. By adding the salt to the flour before wetting. And by pouring the flour into the liquid, instead of the liquid into the flour, and by beating it with a fork. Q. How can I impart a faint, lingering smell of violets to my hankies? A. By breaking up Mi ounce of orris root into a muslin bag and putting into the boiler for a short time when boiling your hankies. Q. What suggestions have you for the treatment of scratches on furniture? A. Scratches on furniture will often yield to an iodine treat­ ment. For red, finished mahogany, use new iodine. For mahogany that has turned brown or is cherry-colored, use iodine that has aged to a dark brown hue. For maple, dilute iodine with denatured alcohol, using about a 50-50 mixture. Q. How can I make a better job of cleaning ashtrays? A. By use of a stiff-bristled '< brush and some denatured alcohol. This treatment will do a nice job on either brass or popper ashtrays that are discolored by tobacco and 1 nicotine. Q. How can I improvsie some coconut when I have run out of the rigal thing? A. Grated raw potato makes a good substitute coconut. My new household manual contains many other such cooking hints and shortcuts. Q. How can * I make an emergency paste quickly? A. Try using a few drops of condensed milk, which dries quickly and is neither messy nor lumpy. Where flour paste sours and dries out quickly in a container, one small can of milk will last for days in a cool place ... and it does a good job of "sticking." Q. What can I do if I have gotten too much bluing in my wash? A. You can rinse out "the blues" by dousing your clothes in clear water to which you've added a little vinegar. Q. How can I make a good duster for use on plush or mohair upholstery? A. A chamois wrung out of cold water does an excellent job. Q. How can 1 freshen up a pair of suede gloves? A. One very easy, and often successful, method is to don the gloves, then rub a thick slice of stale bread between the hands, changing the bread as it becomes soiled. rsEwwiafF] THIS WEEK S PATTERN 8 BY AUDREY LANE I Q7l0fenry CplalnJeaL Established 1875 3812 West Elm Street Phone 385-0170 McHenry, Illinois 60050 Published Every Wednesday & Friday at McHenry, Illinois Second Class Postage Paid at McHenry, Illinois By McHENRY PUBLISHING COMPANY - Larry E.

Convenience Foods The use of convenience foods has increased 38 percent in the last 10 years. For homemakers who have little time available for meal preparation, these foods are probably worth every cent of their cost. And women who have time to cook from scratch may find some convenience foods are "good buys." Reconstituted frozen orange juice saves both time and money. The frozen concentrate is less than half the cost of home squeez­ ed juice. Canned foods are usually less expensive than their fresh counterparts and frozen peas are less expensive than fresh tines out-of-season. Cake and brownie mixes, graham cracker crumbs. Dickies and frozen biscuits in tubes are comparable in cost to the home-made product. Convenience foods that elimi­ nate routine may also be worth their cost. Using frozen and can­ ned fruits and vegetables elimi­ nates the washing and cleaning of produce. And there's no need to dice onions if dried flakes can be used. Products that shorten or do away with cooking time may be valuable too. as well as conven­ ience foods that offer a sizable re­ duction in bulk when compared to regular forms, such as nonfat dry milk.

Especially popular choices for panfrying are cubed steak and thin slices (V4 inch thick or less) cut from the sirloin tip or round. The steaks are browned on both sides in a small amount of fat. Some cuts will cook in the fat from the meat: others will require additional fat to cover the surface of the frying pan to prevent sticking. Do not cover the meat Cook at a moder­ ate temperature, turning occa­ sionally, to desired degree of doneness. Season with salt and pepper after browning, if desired. Remove from pan and serve at once. Consumers' Corner ODRINEX contains the most effective reducing aid available without prescription !
