FIRST COURSE IN KITCHENEERING TO BE TOMORROW (Oootlnucd Frum Pago One) will be demonstrated by Mrs. Spencer before hundreds of local hounewivi and whlcu range from soupto d aorta with everything lo-botwoen lu- eluded. When Mrs. Spencer did Jlnd time, after getting final arrangements well un-der way. to catch her breath, she llkewtso took time to outline some thing of the treats In store for the local women who are fortunate enough to bo able- to attend "Kit' chcneerlng" from start to finish. "In the first place," sho said, "Mru. Wright wants me to bring her per sonal greetings to every housewife or prospective houtiwlfe here, and to Invite everyone to come to this great cooking school-which wo call 'tat- cheneerlng.' Many months of effort have gono Into the preparation of this course, which lias been designed to fill tile wants of modern women. Every dish which will be demonstrate ed Is easy to prepare and Inexpensive and represents tho most exacting at tention to tastefulncss. "Broadly speaking," she continued "each of tho three days may bo given a different heading, with tho first day largely devoted to pastries, homey lunohcon dishes, salads, etc the second to cake and dishes for entertainment: and Ihe third day to complete meals." Mrs. Spencer hastened to point out, howover, that each day' program will be for broader than 10 limitations of any one headline. "For example," alio said, "on the first day, wo will have such dtahes a brand new graham cracker crust for pies, a cheese - souffle 'mode with bread, a most' practical vegetable salad made In a cabbage hood, and reclpo which Mra, Wright discovered In Canada and revamped for modern usage for Old English beefsteak plo And one of tho -most Interesting fea tures of this partlaular day will bo the explanation and complete demon- stratlon of air entirely new way to mix pastries, as worked out in the kitchen of the Homemakers' bureau. The second day's program, Mrs. Sjiencer stated, wliilo principally de voted to cakes and to party Ideas, would lncludo a revelation of the theory and practice of the making of uoop." uoop," she said i with a smilo, "may bo an odd name, but "Ooop' Is a very delicious dish. It's really all that tho uiuno- Implies and, when served with a plotter of salad and perhaps a few slices of garlic, broad, Is a meal in ltwlf. im not going to ion you anything about "Uoop" now, but Just wait until tho second day of tho cooking school. "And," she added, "tharels another real mystery on the second day of inc. cooking school program. It's Mystery-Cake, and if I wero to tell you n two principal Ingredient today you'd laugh, no matter how well you may have been reared. "incidentally," Mrs. Sponcor said "If nnyono thinks alio knows an easy and foolproof way to make sponge and angel food cakes, wait until she eeea the Homemokera' Bureau's new way or mixing thorn." Complete meals, according to Mrs. oponcer, will feature tho third exclt. Ing day of "Kltohoneorlnir." Includ. Ing every phaso of stovo usage, both surface and overt and high and law temperatures. "One of the things that everyone enjoys," sho said, "is tho Porto Blcau pot roast with German potato pan cakes, and another Is two now break fast dishes that aro grmid. many, sno concluded, "one must bo present to begin to under, stand all of tho work that the Safo- way Stores Ifomcmakcra' Bureau has put into Kltcheneorlng' to make such wont lor nousowlvos, and to maxo their work so Interesting nnd their families and guests so delighted. So once more let 1110 extend Mrs. Julia Leo Wright's poi-sonnl invita tion to everyone to bo present, and to remind everyone to bring pencil and paper so that nothing will bo missed. We ro suro you'll enjoy every minute of 'Kltchcncerlng'." With doors opening promptly at 1 o'clock, and with the counm starling promptly at 2 o'clock. It Is oxiiectcd that every available seat In the Snca Jawca ballroom, will be filled by u,e time Mrs. Six-nccr present the first of each day's recliow. DRIED FRUIT BETTER IF COOKED L OVEN Dried fruit Is far better If slewed In the oven and can bo conked whtlo baking or roasting other food. Wash tho fruit, pour boiling water on It and let It stand In a covered dish until tho oven Is ready; then add sugar, cover tightly mid let tho lieat of tho oven cook them, ll-iaire wt lieclally, ait) delicious cooked this way.

In order that questions which oc cur to hnmemnkers whllo they are attending tlio " Kltcheneorlng ' course nvy rccolvo a promiit answer, Mrs. Wright has arranged to have "ques tion boxes" placed at tho exita of tho Siicujawea Inn.

It la tho proud boast of the Home makers' bureau that it had never been ''stumped" by any problem of homcmaklng, although some- "stick lers" luvvo required montlis of re search before n proper solution has been discovered. OLD ARABIAN LEGEND TELLS CHEESE ORIGIN Among tho Interesting food tradi tions Is that of cheese. legend tells us that ages ago, an Arab traveler, stopping one day In tho desert for his mid-day meal of dates and milk, found to his sur prise the milk, wlUch he had car- rled In a bag mado of a sheep's stomach, was no longer milk but a creamy mass of curd. Being hungry. ho tasted It and found It good. The rcnnln remaining lil the dried stom ach had curdled the milk and thus cheese came into being. From Arabia cheese making spread throughout Euroj.e and most of Asia. Each country created Its own, kind. according to the materials and facili ties It 1 1 ad . Tod u y we have more than 600 varieties of cheese from which to choose. Tlieory Disproved Undo Sam has disproved by tests In his awn laboratories tho theory that cheeso Is highly Indigestible. These tests showed tlmt 05 per cent of all checee Is thoroughly and, read ily digested. Cheeso Is popular since It not only Is savory and extremely economical, but Is versatile In flavor and uses. It keeps well and Is easy to work with. , Cheese which Is to be used for cooking purposes should be selected with an eyo for flavor and consis tency. In each brand of cheese there ono variety which is especially designed for some particular use or method of cookery. Kuperh With Spaghetti A hard cheese is best for grating: and this la used when' cheese la add ed to a soup or sauce, just before serving, also for sprinkling on the top of meat, fish or vegetable dishes which are to be browned In the oven. Of course, it Is superb with epa ghettl mixtures. Cheese for cutting or melting must bo soft enough to be pushed through a course wiro strainer with the back of a spoon or forced through a po tato rlcer; or It may be placed on a board and cut or chopped, Into small pieces with a knife. AROMA SEALED UP IN FRESH SPICE CAKES WASH WITH SALT Sinks and drains can be kept clean from grease and disagreeable odors by pouring hot salt brine through them once n week. To restore to their original whiteness, enameled bath tubs and washbowls which have bo- come yellow, wash them with salt and turpentine.

Tho finished product will re pay the housewife who uses care la keeping, preparing and serving It. Coffee la sensitive. Aa soon - aa coffee comes In contact with air oxy gen tends to reduce Its. flavor, so It'B wise to keep It as free from exposure a possible. It's a good plan to -put the coffee Into a Jar with a tight rubber ring, top as soon; as the can. la opened, especially when you buy amounta larger than would be used . In a week. Ordinarily, coffee will keep fresh for a week In the original can after opening, but don't leave tho ltd off. No matter how carefully coffee la prepared the result will be below standard If the pot la not clean. Aft er using always wash It out with soap suds, then rinse and dry. Oc casionally soda and water may be used, following with rinsing. Leave the pot uncovered that aAr may cir culate through It, Ordinarily, coffee making calla for one rounding tablespoon of coffee for each cup of water, but this amount varies according to the strength of tho coffeo desired. The new drip pots are simple to use and produce an excellent bever age. The pot should be preheated to keep the coffee hot aa It drips through. Percolated coffee may be made with either cold or boiling wat er, depending on the type of pot. If the spread at the bottom Is wide, boiling water Is preferable. If It Is of tho valve type, coldf water Is best. The colling water must be drawn fresh from tho c,old tap and brought to a boll. Ton nunutee Is the usual time tq make good percolated coffee. Many still prefer boiling coffee. Sometimes a little egg Is mixed with It to clear the beverago and odd sparkle. Another method Is to tie the coffee In a bag, which makes the drink clear without using egg or cold water to settle the grounds. Again, cold or hot water may be used. Blond It with the coffee, bring tcfa good boll and serve. This Is the meth od used on picnics, as a rule. But no matter how It's made, servo It HOT. vanilla and beat thoroughly. If de sired, half a cup of seedless raisins, out Into pieces, may be added. Pour Into greased muffin pans and bake In a moderate oven 376 degrees P., about 20-25 minutes. Serve fresh.
