The Hindus used it as a food as early as 2000 B. C. It was known to the Greeks by 450 H. C. In the early centuries butter was employed in. many ways, but hardly ever as food. The Hindus offered it as a sacrifice In worship. The Greeks and Komans used it as a remedy for the skin and hair, and in . many cold countries it was used as a bath. Not many years ago in Scotland and the north of England it was used for smearing sheep, for lamp oil and also for medicine. In some countries the possession of butter was an Indi ration of wealth. In both Chilas and Darel the practice of storing butter In the ground still exists. Sometimes It Is left for many years and a tree Is planted over it to designate the spot. In Dardistan (Asia) the peas ants especially prised salted butter that had been kept for 100 years. Many other queer practices and uses of butler could be related, but it is probable from studying historical ac counts that butter as a food was in troduced to all Europe from Scan-din--S about the 14th century. In the United States butter has been use as a food only. Of course it was first made on a farm, but as the country grew It became evident that most farmers were not equipped for making butter'ln the best way. It was soon found best to band together In a suitable organisation. The out come was the creamery. Probably the first" creamery builf in the United States was In Campbell Hall. Orange county. N. Y., in 1856. almost three quarters of a century ago. But mar velous indeed has been the progress of the creamery since then. The mall makeshift of that day could hardly be compared to the modern, sanitary, up-to-date creamery of our own time. In Portland there are many such creameries, but one of the best Is the Corvallls Creamery, which pro duces the Gold Medal Butter. Almost everv housewife knows it. and If she doesn't, she should, because It is a clean, sweet, pure butter, put uo un der the most sanitary conditions. It Is sold in a waxed, sanitary package that keeps It fresh and good until used. Use lots of butter for your health's sake.

Alfalfa Vitamines The latest virtue for clover -and alfalfa good and true animal hays Is that the green Juices are used In treatment of tuberculosis, These Juices are reputed to destroy the dis ease germs in many cases.

CHOCOLAti PURE ' III .Xli P'linr nirrr-r The Delightful Dessert While toe cream is always delight ful, even when it is served plain, there is really no reason for serving it so. There are many ways of making it attractive, the only danger being that the uual mother has to deny, rather than urge her family to eat ice cream. But there is one consolation that when a food Is thoroughly relished it is usually digested well. And one need not be afraid of eating too much ice cream. Here is a comparative food value, so that you may see how very concentrated is the nutriment of ice cream. A generous-sized dish of rich ice cream equals in food value seven bananas or five pounds of cab base or of a pound of round steak. These were estimates made by a a famous chemist and dietitian. So you see. mother, that when you feed your family on ice cream you are feeding them real food and not merely a lux ury. Try the recipe below and your family will rise up and call you blessed: . CREAMED KIO SUNDAE Over each dish of Ice cream pour a small ladUs of Chevalley Everfresh Creme Chocolate Dressing (mix choc olate with twice the amount of simple syrup) and a ladle of crushed figs. Top with whipped cream and a cherry. This Is a beautiful dessert with rrruch more food value than the com parative ehbwing above for plain ice cream. , Delicious Coffee.

Angle on , Housekeeping To some women all household tasks seem like drudgery, because they are done in an uninteresting, mechanical and spiritless manner. Women who study each task, who learn the mean ing and importance of it, the best way to do it without fatigue, the scientific way to save time, the efficient way to save money, find their housework takes on new meaning, and their days leave them feeling like human beings rather than human Blaves. Such study Is well-worth while. The way to start investigating this systematic house work method is first to learn bow to save time and at the same time do our work efficiently. One of the hard est tasks and one which is a daily grind is the cleaning proposition the everlasting sweeping and dusting. Now if we combine those two into one we have a fair start in saving time that is. if we .can do it effi ciently. Fortunately our troubles along that line have been eliminated for us and all we have to do is to employ the method Invented for our benefit. I mean the use of the vacuum sweeper. No woman who has ever used one will ever go back to the old method of sweeping with a broom. And there is absolutely no reason in the world for any woman to do with out one. You can get a sweeper on such easy terms that you do not know you are paying for it at all. But mere lis mucn airrerence m sweepers, iney are all better than a broom, but some are better than others. When you are investigating the different kinds, do not fall to see the America. The Elec tric Service Co.. at 128 Vs Tenth street, represents exclusively that make in Portland. It is a modern, up-to-date and efficient sweeper. See it at once and set rid of the old broom. Washing Laces Fine laces should be washed in milk and water.

The selection of "little things" for the home is just like choosing the friends one wants to keen a lifetime. The little things in the home are chosen Bafely only when they fit our ideas of individuality, restraint, com fort and economy. It is not necessary for one's home to be cluttered with useless things, but a visit to the Ira F. Powers Furniture Store will reveal many interesting objects of beauty and art which are really needed in the modernly furnished home. There are many cleverly designed lamps, with their subdued colorings, that add beauty andTreflnement to the home; a gate-leg table that would save unnecessary steps for mother and the writing desk that suggests many friends whose letters make pleasant links of affection, telephone' stands, book ends, console tables, mir rors .and hundreds of other things, little, but how they do add to the at tractiveness of any home.

The editor .dropped In at a great many of the different grocery stores in order to get a better idea as to Just what housewives purchase and what is offered them to purchase at the neighborhood stores, and in nearly everv place I saw Dew Drop Wash in Powder on their shelves. I took one package and tried it out in sev eral different ways, and it was indeed a pleasure to use. I also made some rather exacting tests about washing clothes. I believe the city of Portland has a soap industry right at home that should become as welt known as others of national repute, as the Dew Drop Washing Powder is a very ex cellent product In every way. This dependable washing powder is made by the Luckel King & Cake Soap Co. The Royal W'hite Soap is one of their widely-used soaps, and for general use around the house It could not be improved upon. 1 1 I I 'J. N ULI I A BX ! How to Judge Eggs The Pacific Co-operative' Poultry Producers gave me ttris bit of valua ble Information about eggs, and I am passing it on to you because I think that every housewife should know how to buy egss and how to use them: When buying eggs insist that they conform to tile following established grades: One dozen standard eggs should av erage 24 ounces to the dozen. One dozen pullet eggs should aver age 20 ounces to the dozen. Peew-ees are a small egg weighing less than 19 ounces to the dozen. If a recipe calls for one standard egg (all recipes calling for one egg mean, one standard egg) it will take 1 1-6 pullet eggs or 1 1-3 peewees. Always demand Nu-Lade Eggs. These are our own eggs from our own state. Ask for them. Don't take a substitute. Cannelon of Beef Something; Different In a Meat Dish. . when you sre racking your brains to think of something different In the ijne ot a meat Qish- try this excellent recipe. This Is not at all hard to make, and it is a most savory dish when Berved. Men are proverbially fond of beef, and they will be delight ed with this French dish. Two pounds lean beef from top of round (from Parker's Market), one tablespoon chopped parBley, one tea spoon salt, one teaspoon of M. & R. Cook's Friend, one Nu-Lade egg beat en. 1-3 cup Tru-Blu cracker crumbs. 34 teaspoon pepper. Pass meat through chopper. Add other Ingredients, the egg and trrumbs, and mix thoroughly. snape in a roll. Bake on a racK in onapa 4 11 ai luu. i.aio un a, tu c small pan 40 minutes. Baste with fat and hot water. Serve with baked Porter-Scarpelll macaroni. Buy your meats at Parker's Market. They give you a splendid quality of meat, besides quick and courteous service. For the Lunch Box If there Is one kind of eating that becomes tiresome it is the lunch that must be carried in a box. for the noon-time meal, both for the kiddiea and grown-ups as well. It is tiresome for the one who has to eat it and for the one who has to put it up. so I am going to suggest something different. Suppose you try Otter Clam sand wiches? They are made by the same recipe that I gave last week for otter clam salad buuomitting the cabbage. Y'ou will find Them a welcome addi tion to any lunch basket. I waulrt suggest making them with Multno mah Whole Wheat Bread, as one hardly ever has green things to eat at the luncheon hour If lunch Is eaten from a basket. Be sure that you use Otter Clams in making these sandwiches, because only the clean, white parts of the clams are used, consequently they are always deli cate, palatable and tasty. You can use the remaining liquor for clam broth at home for your own luncheon with Tru-Blu Butter Thin Biscuits. Quickly Baked Potatoes Potatoes can be baked fn half the usual time required If they are al lowed first to stand In hot water for 15 minutes. m 1 1922 ? Have You Tried This One? I ran across such a delightful tid bit the other day. and I want to pass It on to you. It is something you can eat at meal time or for tea or Just between times. It Is delicious. Do try it. MARSH MALLOW DREAMS 1 box unsweetened wafers. Tru-Blu butter thins pound Krause's marehmallows. . 3 to 4 tablespoons Gold Medal but ter. 3 to 4 tablespoons Dickenson's cur rant Jelly. Arrange one marshmallow on each wafer, make a dent in center of each marshmallow and drop in a small bit of butter. Heat in a slow oven until the marshmaHows are well puffed up but not brown. Fill centers with jelly. Krause's Marshmallows are delight ful, and there are many ways to fix them up daintily, besides toasting, which, of course, is always good. From time to time I will give you recipes and different suggestions for using them. You know Krause's Marshmallows are put. up by the same company that makes the wonderful Tru-Blu Biscuits. There Is where you truly get variety. A. biscuit Is made for every purpose. When one has a supply of dainty, crisp crack ers on hand In the pantry it seems that a meal is already started, and one only has to build it around them. Try that some time. Look at your Tru-Blu Long Branch Wafer box at lunch time and see how many things will suggest themselves. For instance, one might have a bit of Otter Clam broth with the wafers first: then sandwiches made from them with a Red Rock Cottage Cheese filling, with lots of Gold Medal Butter between; then ice cream with Tru-Blu Sugar Wafers, and, last, Chevalley Ever fresh Creme Chocolate with Tru-Blu -Lemon Wafers. Now Just see how easy the luncheon would take shape -with little trouble to prepare it. The same idea can be carried out indefi nitely, ne only way in which you would be limited would be In not hav ing on hand a big enough supply of Tru-Blu products. Suppose you rem- e?v that defect at once and begin to plan your meals the easy way.

One can use Oregon Milk for every purpose In cooking where ordinary milk Is used. It Is not a substitute for milk, but pure cow's milk with part of the water taken out. It makes foods cooked, with It unusually rich and palata.ble. After a can is opened it should be treated In the same man ner as fresh milk. Keep plenty of it on your pantry shelves, and be sure to use Oregon Famous Doctor Pfaises Milk . "The people who have achieved, who have become large, strong, vigorous people, who have reduced their Infant mortality, who have the best trades in the worid. who have an appreciation of art. literature and music, and who are progressive In science and in every activity of the human Intellect, are the people who have used milk and its products liberally."
