Tomato Pilau
VP'
IRT thin strips of bacon or of salt pork
until rrlcp. Add lo toM a can or
tomatoes, a llttl salt and a, cupful
of rice which has been washed and picked
over.
Boil hard for ten minutes. Then set the
saucepan upon an aabeaiu mat and turn the
gas very low. Cover the saucepan cloely
to keep in the steam. Cook slowly for three-
: suarters or an hour without stlrrins.
An Iron saucepan lined with porcelain is '
Bed "down south."
r The contents should be very dry when
4- ready to serve. As rana are of various alses
and tome brands of tomatoes are more
- Juicy than others. It may be well to use lees
: rice, as Judgment dictates, nr to add a little
4 ' water to the Juice.
floutherners serve meat sravy with pilau.
Fresh aausase or shrimps may be used
Instead of bacun and tomato.
Chicken Pilau
;'". Is made b using; the water In which a
fowl has been boiled In place of tomatoes.
Add to this a cupful or more of cold chicken
' cut into amali bits (not ground or
, chopped). Add the rlcs and proceed as with
tomato pilau.
" "Hopping John"
. Boil cowpeas or "crowders" until tender.
. Add a piece of salt pork and a little salt.
Pour into this a handful of washed and
soaked rice.
.' Boll bard for ten minutes. Set the sauce
pan upon an abetos mat and turn the sas
very low. Ft earn slowly for an hour In a
" tlchtly covered saucepan.
I have bougnt cowpeas dried In the New
i; . Tnrk markets. X do not recollect what tbey
-! , are called there.
The dried peas must be soaked in cold
ater for some hours before they are boiled.
Th quantity of rice should be about 1 cup
ful to double the quantity of peas. There
: ; i . iiiwil be enoush water to cover the peaa
well when tbe rice Is added.

these general directions lor n-arlna tbe
dlnbei. Cooklns rice in true southern style
is. like bread-making. lHrgHv a natter of
t experience, K. U S. (South Carolina).
Not one cook la ten knows how to cook
rice properly. The sticky, starchy mass
. served up under the name of the mai
t res ted cereal upon many tables, even at
vthe south. Is wretched stuff, dlsplea.il n if
-. to the eye and to the taste. It always
-'reminds me of Charlotte Bronte's de-
' scrlptlon of Torkshire "Tabby's"' bailing
the potatoes In a "sort of vegetable
glue." The rice thus murdered may do
duty as library paste; It Is not fit for
table use. There Is , but one right way
of cooking It aa a vegetable to be
, served: alone.
Cook Bice

loae the power of concentration and
hare to be forced to labor that It
once took at a matter of course.
Therefore, for her own aake, our
Iglrl must have aotne occupation.
I' would call her attention to the
fact that, flrst of alt. aba owes a duty
to ber parents. They iave educated
her,- lt,cnay be at the sacrifice of per
sonal comfort and sate. The daugh
ter ahould, therefore, In planning ber
work, decide upon something that
will lot Jnterfere with ber duties
toward v her father and mother. If
there are several other daughters In
the home, whe mean to remain there
until they marry or die our girl
may contemplate the possibility of
going to another city or town to
learn ber profession. But aba should
do this as a last resort, and when aha .
Is sure she la not needed in the bom
nest ....
Before she looks for any profession
or "calling," there Is something- aha
must learn In ber mother's bouse. She
should make a practical atudy of all
branches of housekeeping and house
work, from dusting and making beds,
down or up to oooklnr, ordering
' meals and marketing wisely and
economically. Until she has done this,
she has not been thoroughly' educated.
To the thoughtful observer It Is evi
dent that w need trained cooks and
housekeepers. Even If a woman haa
the wealth to enable ber to engage
confpetent domeatlcs, she will be
much more capable of directing theae
servants If she knows herself how to
perform the services which she exacts
of them. Bridget and.Norah soon dis
cover If their employer knows little
of nothing about cooking, and trade
upon' thla fact. When a cook la aware
that her mistress could. If she wished,
prepare a better meal than she, the
hireling, car prepare,- she Is put upon
her" mettle to do her' best.- The Over
seer must know how the work should
be ' done In order to demand' skilled '
labor from his underlings.
So, flrst of all, let our girl deter
mine to acquire - a practical knowl
edge of housework In all Its
branches. It Is her duty to ber sex,
to her possible husband and to fu
ture generatlona.
In a recent statement made by Dr.
twsnty minutes bite Into a grain to
determine If, It is done. If It be really
tender, turn the rice lightly Into a hot
colander aa you would boiled potatoes,
shake to dislodge every drop of water
and set the colander In the open oven for
five minutes to dry the rice off. Each
grain ahould stand apart from the rest.
The water in which rice has been -boiled
should go into the stockpot. It

Our South Carolinian has our thsnks

recipes contributed In response to two
Inquiries s .
A Chemist to the Rescue
In response to the queries anent the
expediency of letting dough raised with
baking powder stand several hours be
fore baking, a practical chemist honors
the Exchange with a professional
opinion.
Should Baking Powder Dough Stand
Long Before Baking ItP
Althoush. a priori, one would reason with
the editor of the Exchange that bakinc
powder dough should to Into the oven soon
after mixing It. the contrary experience of
several correspondent! may be rationally
explained. The result, presumably, depends
larjcely upon the relative consistency of the
dourh, whether it be relatively a soft,
moist dough, a thin batter or a compara
tively dry and Arm mass intended for
bread. Another factor, and an Important
one. may be the kind of bakinc powder
used, whether the acid constituent be cream
of tartar, tartarlo acid, acid calcium (phoa-
phate) or alum.
If the facts are as represented (fhey'are
often erroneously Interpreted), then we may
auppose that the solution of tbe baklns
powder is retarded, and hence the action
of the ingredients Is slackened. This will
be true in the case of a dryish, firm -end
fatty dough. The moisture does not readily
dissolve the soda and the acid. In water
the effervescence la Immediate and vehe
ment. Then again, cream of tartar and
the phosphate are less readily soluble than
tartarlo acid and alum. That would make
a difference in the result. Put baking
powder into thick molasses and see how
slowly It works.
But the slow evolution of sas will favor
a more thorough aeration and more minute
purification, and so a finer spouse.
And yet asala, heat favors the chemical
action and a low temperature retards It.
I doubt if a tartaric acid powder in a thin
batter could be profitably allowed to stand
Ions before baking.

Table Decorations
In common with many ether housemothers
who delight In dainty table appointments,
I have one shaded electric light above my
dinner table and supply the rest of the
needed Illumination with candles. I have
four very pretty cut-glass candlesticks,
which were one of my wedding gifts and
take pleasure In using them. But, although
I buy hard candles, tbey will drip, espe
cially If the room be unusually warm. Ist
night they dripped dewn upon the tabl
cloth. How shsll I hinder this nuisance?
I Just can't besr the Idea of- giving up my
soft light and prettv candlesticks.
( AMY 8. (Buffalo, Jf. T..
Buy the. shtort candles called -'hotel
candles" (adamantine), and lay them
upon the ice for some hours before din
ner. If you have room In the refrigera
tor, keep the candles on the Ice all sum
in er long. They will not drip if thus
chilled. Do not take them off until a
few minutes before they are to be
lighted.
Substitutes for Butter
We have hs a lively discussion on both
sides as to the expediency f using lard
and other substitutes for butter in rake-maklnsv-
The-keinote baa- ot- been etrwefe
by any of the writers. 1 use one of the
"Itaking a bed.".
Harvey Waahlngton 'Wiley, chief
chemist of the United States, he ut
ters such trenchant truths that I
take the liberty of quoting him for
the benefit of the girl to whom this
talk of mine la especially directed.
He says:
"Poor cooking Is a characteristic of
our national life, apparently, and
many' of our ills are due to It. Many
of the evil effects which often are
ascribed to overeating might more
accurately be ascribed to unskilled or
careless cooking. The average wife
of the American woaklng man knows
less about tte proper preparation of
hlervfood than does the wife of any
Other working man In, any of the
world'a advanced, progressiva na
tions. We are a nation of bad cooks."
Thla is a severe and honest arraign
ment of the women of the working
classes, whloh applies also to the
wives and-daughtera of the rich men
In our country. Doctor Wiley hits the
nail- ao squarely on the head that I
take the liberty of quoting1 at length
another pregnant paragraph:'
"In the terrible Intemperance of
bad cooking we easily lead the -world.
The rich man who establishes a fund
and finds a way of properly adminis
tering, it to teach good cooking to the
women of this country will do a
greater good than any man has ever
pare white compounds (of which there are
several on the market) Instead of hog lard.
The secret is this: Take but three-quarters
as much aa you would allow of but
ter. Cream the compound with a pinch
of salt and the flavoring. Having beaten
it to a light cream, add sugar and cream
again, aa In other recipes, and so on.
I never fail and use this shortening even
when butter is cheap and abundant.
-Few housemothers make eggicss waf
fles and griddle cakes. Mix as hough
eggs were to be used, and for a quart
of sour milk sjir In soda and -the butter
as the laat thing, and a tablespoonful of
melted lard. A small quantity of meal
la added by some cooks. The milk must
not be musty. No one would detect the
absence of eggs.
Do housemothers know that If. In
scrambling eggs a tablespoonful of Water
be added, for each egg. the quantity of the
"scramble" will be. doubled, the eggs
much lighter and more digestible? It must
be served immediately, as it soon falls.
Again, if In whipping cream the white
of an egg be beaten Into the cream, the
quantity win do increaseo .wnnout injur
ing the quality of the "whip.

Selling Homemades
I make good, light bread or so I am
assured by my friends. They would like
to buy it of me regularly. What would be
the weight of a S-cent loaf the same hs
the bakers sell and how much dough will

2. Please give recipe for making German
cream puffs, like those sold in the bake

us where railraad men get their meals. I
am anxious to make a little pin money for

meals? And must I have a license in order
to sell food?
i. What should I charge per dozen for
doughnuts?
S. Is there any disgrace In selling the
eatables I have named?

Tour letter was written In pencil and
narrowly escaped the wastebasket on

I got out my scales and weighed a loaf
the baker delivered this morning. It
cost S cents and it weighs Juat three
quarters of a pound. Since 4 even
cups (half pints) weigh 1 pound, and
the milk or water, "yeast, etc.. which go
to make up the loaf would probably
weigh about a quarter of a pound, you

I ahaU.now say something which the

fault of the omission from the educa
tion of our girls of the very simplest
preparation for their work as house
wives." All of this Is so true that I wish every
American girl could read it. I kno
that there are cooking schools and that

the facts learned there ahould. be put

Cream Puffs
6tir half a pound of butter Into a
pint of water, a little more than blood
warm; set over the fire and bring slowly
to the boll. This reached, stir in grad
ually of a pound of alfted flour, keep
ing the spoon going all the time until
you have a smooth, bubbling paste.
Turn into . buttered platter and let
H get perfectly cold. Beat 8. eggs very
light and whip into the paste when it is
.cold. Whip In the beaten yolks first,
then fold in the stiffened whites.
Drop the batter when ready in great
spoonfuls upon buttered paper lining
your baking pans, taking care not to let
them touch one another.
Bake ten minutes in a quick oven.
They should be very Buffy when done
and of a golden brown.
Filling
Wet np A tablespoonful of corn
- starch with enough milk to make it
into a smooth paste. Heat a scant
quart of milk in a double boiler,
adding a pinch of soda to prevent
curdling. Beat eggs Very light;
stir into them 2 scant cupfuls of
.sugar, and into this the ' cornstarch
paste. As soon aa the milk bolls,
pour It very slowly from the Sauce
pan directly upon the mixture you
have Just made, beating all the time
to prevent lumping. Finally, stir In a
heaping teaspoonful of butter; beat
all together hard for a minute and
set aside to cool. Season with va
nilla or lemon: When j'ou wish to fill
the puffs, run a sharp knife lightly
around the outside of each; split them
and fill with the mixture.
When you have made these once
successfully, as you cannot fall to do,,
you will pronounce them superior to
