ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
BT LILIAN TINGLE.
PORTLAND. Jan. T. Dear Mlea Tlnrle:
We have been In tne habit of uaing a good
seal of brown eucar syrup (home made), but
w are to save the near. I would like
to see something else, bat maple syrup la
tae expenalve and we ds not like the Kara
syrup, or U It all rtsbt to m brown su
gar? Thanking too for nay suggestions you
may be able to make. ktKa. . T. C.
WHT not try making up a table
syrup to suit your own taste.
Using commercial glucose) (which is
made from corn), diluted with bot wi
ter to the desired consistency, and then
colored and flavored with mapelelne or
caramel extract (one-quarter cup sugar
seated a light brown and dissolved In
one-quarter cup hot water), with a
tablespoon of sugar to sweeten It If
necessary? It is. of course, more patri
otic to omit the sugar altogether in
making the syrup, and It Is really sot
very necessary as the glucose is nearly
as sweet as maple syrup. Usually
aiout one quart of water can be added
to two pounds of glucose, thus giving
bout four pounds of syrup (of approx
imately mapie consistency), for ti
cents and tbe cost of a very little fla
voring n.ateriaL
Tou can of course make a thicker or
thinner syrup by adding less or more
hot water to the stiff glucose. A glu
cose syrup as thick as molasses may
take the place of molasses In plain egg
less cakes (of the gingerbread type)
where tbe flavor of molasses Is not par
ticularly liked, it on teaspoon cream
of tartar Is added for every cup of glu
cose syrup, which replaces one cup of
molsises. Then put In- the same
amount of soda as If molasses were be
ing used. Half glucose syrup and half
molasses Is often more attractive than
all molasses (when the latter la very
strong la flavor) la ' ztngerbrcads,
cookies, steamed puddings. Boston
brown bread and steamed corn bread.
ins iiavor or tbe glucose syrup,
either thick or thin, may be further
varied by substituting a little honey or
lemon rind or orange rind (with or
without a little Juice), for the ma
peleine or caramel, or a combination of
caramel and vanilla or caramel and
lemon rind or caramel and honey may
be used. Or a nice loganberry syrup
can be made by diluting the glucose
with bottled loganberry Juice Instead
ot water.
1 think you will 'find that yon can
ave a good deal or sugar by tbe in
genlous utilization of glucose.
Brown sugar should be "Hooverlied"
Just as much as white sugar. We ab
solutely must use less sugar, and now
that Christmas Is past, we have no
excuse for candies or sweet cakes, or
trench pastries. Let ma know If you
neea otner suggestions for conaerva
tion and I shall be glad to help you If
a can.
TTLLaVOOK. Or.l Jan. T Dear Wis
Tingle: Mill yon please Help as In ear ef
forts to Hooverlze by giving recipe for mak
ing peanut butter 7 We find yonr column
very helpful. MRS .T.
Use two parts Spanish peanuts to
four parts Virginia nuts. Remove the
shells and brown skins from freshly
roasted peanuts. Pass the nuts re
peatedly through the nut-butter grind
er of the food chopper until fine and
smooth. Set a small bowl or a plate
below the grinder to catch any oil that
may be squeesed out In grinding, and
add any such oil to the "butter." Pea
nuts vary somewhat and so do grind
ers, consequently It is not possible to
say whether or not any extra oil may
be needed In tbe final product. If It
seems too dry, a little peanut oil or corn
oil (ma so la) may be added. Some
makers like to d a lltU majroaaaisa, J
or a mixture of oil and lemon Juice;
but If the ground nuts are of the right
texture a little salt will be all that is
needed. It is a good plan to pass the
nuts again through the grinder after
adding the salt.
It depends upon the price of peanuts
and the value of your time whether it
Is an economy to make peanut butter
at home, since very good peanut butter
can often be obtained in bulk at a mod'
rate price.
Peanut butter Is best diluted with a
little milk or cream or French dress
ing (or any other salad dressing) be
fore being used for sandwiches. It
can. itself, be used as a foundation
for salad dressing,- simply rubbing it
to a smooth "cream" with a little milk
or cream (sweet or sour) and adding
lemon Juice or vinegar and other sea
sonings to taste.
You can use it in a quick soup rub
bing It smooth with water, skim milk
or vegetable stock and seasoning with
pepper, salt, a few drops of lemon
Juice and a little dried and powdered
celery leaf. A little onion Juice Is an
addition liked by many people. Or It
can be used In fruit soups if liked. It
supplies both fat and protein. One
tablespoon peanut butter to three-quarters
cup stock or milk is a fairly good
proportion.
I need hardly suggest its use in nut
and vegetable loaves or dressings or
in vegetable curry, and It Is good in
several kinds of plain cakes, cookies
and "war candy."
Peanut butter should, as a rule, be
given to young children, but it is a
useful standby for the older hungry
boys and girls with whom usually it is
very popular. Let me know if you.
need any special recipes! I am glad
you find this column helpful.
If you mean citron melon, cut It up,
peel It and remove the seeds, cutting
the meat into small finger-shaped
pieces. Cook these slowly until nearly
tender In a weak alum water (one tea
spoon alum to three quarts water)
then drain and wash in cold water.
Cover the pieces of melon with ghi
cose syrup or Karo syrup, adding the
Juice and rind of a lemon, with or
without one or two inches of roa
ginger, or a few cloves for every six
cups of prepared melon. Bring to the
boil and let stand over night. Next day
drain off tbe syrup, boll it down a lit

Then let stand until cold. ' Repeat

When the exigencies of the growing
family demand additional bedroom
space it is sometimes expedient to con
vert the dining room or living room
into a private bedroom and condense
the dining and living space into one
room.
In planning a living room-dining
room it Is well to let the room take
on the character of living room and
' to subordinate dining room effects. The
regulation extension table may be dls
posed of and a gate leg used in its
place. A dresser should be substituted
for the sideboard. The built-in china
closet is easily converted into a book
case and the china kept in the kitchen
cupboard.
-The. room may then be furnished
with living room pieces, a sofa, occa
sional tables, etc. Chairs to correspond
with the number In the family in this
room should be of equal seating height.
A wheel serving table made with
shelves is a most useful article. Serv
ice is comfortably dispensed from such
a table drawn up close to the gate leg.
An attractive combination living and
dining-room for a family of four has
four v indsor chairs, an hour glass
chair, a square drop leaf table, and a
Windsor settee. In lieu of a sofa a
long window bench is fitted with a
cretonne covered mattress and plenty
of pillows. Loose cushion pads are
thrown lnt the chair- seats, too. In
one corner is a rocker near to a small
table with a lamp and work basket.
The dining table is not In the center
of the room, but at. one side, and Hgnt
ed with a shaded lamp "dropped'
from the wall bracket. It Is kept cov
ered with a piece of dark damask hav
ing the white cover only at meal times.
The best has been made of an ugly
upright radiator by laying a shelf on
it, covering the shelf with a piece of
damask, and suspending, a mirror -on
the wall space above it. On the shelf
is a low back glass bowl filled with
water to keep tbe air In the room
moist. There Is also a pair of tall
brass candlesticks.
The room is as simple as can be, but
has a congenial air of coming right
merrily up , to the mark of "plain liv
ing and high thinking."
One thing that is essential In any
sort of living quarters is plentiful
closet space, and this is not always
ready supplied. An expedient In the
cresetless room is to put a wide shelf
clear across one side of the room, and
to have a series of panels made to fit
the space between shelf and floor.
The "panels, which will answer as
doors, may be merely skeleton frames
of wood, with cretonne stretched and
tacked to the frame. The doors need
not be hinged, but may be slipped in
between a series of upper and lower
grooves made of parallel strips of
narrow wood molding. They can then
be pushed back and forth like sliding
doors, instead of opening out.
A long pole running lengthwise un
der the center of the shelf will accom
modate an extensive wardrobe. Part
of the closet may have shelves to hold
hats, shirt waists and lingerie.
Mrs. E. T. W.: I should have a
dark oak bookcase to correspond with
the rest of your furnishings. No, it
is not necessary to have the table in
the center of the room. An old rose
lamp shade should be attractive in your
living room. Whether one has or has
not inside hangings is purely a matter
of personal preference. Don t Jiave
them if you have plenty of light. A
tea table would be a nice addition in
your living room. Have voile, curtains
in this room and lambrequins. Have
the tint you describe for draperies of
India print.'
Mrs. K. w. R.: I seems to me that
your furniture looks better as it is
than it would if you did it over. Old
blue would be your choice for the din
ing-room. With this use cretonne cur
tains over the filet net Pale gTay for
the bedroom. Yet, let the paper match
in reception hall and adjoining room.
Light buff for your kitchen. Large
designs in wallpaper make the rooms
look smaller. Let your draperies corre
spond in color with side walls.
' V
S. J. M.r Use gcd-colored silk gauze
on your French doors and have them
gathered onto an upper rod by means
of rings so that they can be pulled
back. Little white celluloid rings are
correct. Scallop the bottoms of your
curtains and' trim them with a deep)
fringe, allowing -them to bang- loose.
Mrs. T. L. G. : Use heavy cretonne
for your sanitary couch cover. Box
it neatly at the corners and trim It
with narrow upholstery fringe. It
would be better for you not to hide
your book shelves, as the open book
shelves are highly approved of. Closed
in telephone stands are now to be had
and one of these, with a chair at either
side of it, would be nice for your ball.
The telephone is concealed by a little
door that pulls forward and lets down,
leaving the top of the stand free to
ornament with a vase lamp or candle,
stick.
Mrs. G. L. C. : Use an old Ivory tint
for your sidewalls and a chamois col
ored silk lamp shade for your bedroom.
I should 'carry the old Ivory tint
through into the living-room and into
the hall. Get printed linen for your
dining-room draperies in old ivory and
blue. Use the same material to form
a sort of casement curtain for your
bookcase, which is not sufficiently
filled.
e
' Mrs. H. S. S.: Have you thought
about putting in French doors instead
of using portieres? I believe you would
find that quite an, improvement. If
you do not care to use French doors
I should advise you to take down the
curtain poles and leave the opening un
curtained. Mrs. W. J. J.: Yes chintz draperies
are still being used. They are some
times lined with sateen and may be
used over thin curtains. If you repeat ,
the chintz in your portieres, line it and
interline it and put weights in the low
er hem.
m m m
F. E. D.: Tou could much Improve
your room if you would take the gath
ers out of your lambrequins, stretch
ing them on a little framework of wood
instead of gathering them to the poles
as you, have done. Also take down all
of the" bric-a-brac from over the win
dow tops. It would be well for you to
enamel your woodwork with old ivory
enamel.
.
Mrs. W. I R.: I think the figured!
paper would be your best choice if
you had no pictures to hang on the
walls, and vice versa. Perhaps a light
er tint would have been a better choice.
Pale buff reflects the most light and
is therefore the color to choose if the
rooms are at all dark.

Girls if you want plenty of thick,
beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all

way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most If not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it.
vou will find, too, that all Itching;
and digging of the scalp will stop, and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drugstore. It is inexpensive and
four ounces is all you will need, no
matter how much dandruff you have.
