Coffee. This variation is
called Spiced Iced Coffee.
It requires 1 cup of instant
coffee (one 2 ounce Jar) and
takes a minute of your time.
Add spices, 1 quart of warm
water, stir or shake . . . store
in your refrigerator until
needed. Spiced coffee will
stay fresh for weeks in your
refrigerator if kept turner nor
mal ... conditions. , Whenever
thirst ' needs quenching, or
when mealtime rolls around,
pour the concentrate over ice
cubes, add cold water and
serve. Plain or sweetened
whipped cream sprinkled with
chocolate sprinkles will aaa a
festive note to this beverage
with slightly exotic flavor.

Labor day may not bring
the last rose of summer, but it
will bring the last picnic of
summer to most of us. It's
rather a wistful picnic, the
Labor day picnic, closing the
carefree warm weather sea
son, and turning toward stern
er winter's demands.
But since it is the last big
picnic of the year, it does seem
worthy of something particu
larly festive like a fine, home
made cake brought to the pic
nic still fragrant from the
oven. Experienced picnickers
bake their cakes in a pan suit
able for toting to a picnic, with
the cake frosted In the same
pan in which it was baked. For
those who are satisfied only by
perfect efficiency, there Is a
sheet cake pan with a sliding
cover to close over the cake
when it is transported to the
picnic.
Worthy of the Labor day
picnic festivities is a delicious
Banana Cake made quickly by
the one bowl method, yet new
and delicate with thi fresh
flavor of sweet and mellow

Suggestions Given
On Storing Food
In Your Refrigerator
Homemakers often ask us
"how long will foods keep good
quality in the- refrigerator"
There can be no fixed answer
because the keeping quality of
a perisnacie depends on lis
condition and also on the temp
erature and humidity of the re
frigerator. However, If the
homemaker does her part,
wrapping foods correctly and
keeping them at the right
temperature, the specialists say
it is possible to predict rougn-
ly a food's storage life.
In an automatic refrigerator
with the control set for normal
operation, the center storsge
section of the cabinet will
probably run between 38 de
grees and 42 degrees. Toe area
just below the freezing unit is
colder, for storage of foods such
meats, poultry and fish,
needing - the lower tempera
tures. The bottom of the cab
inet is somewhat warmer than
the center, for less perishable
foods. If In doubt about your
refrigerator, take the tempera
ture in different locations with
a thermometer.
Left-Over Muffins
Left-over muffins or biscuits
from last night's dinner be
come breakfast treats when
split in half, spread with or
ange marmalade and chopped
almonds. Then toasted under
the broiler a second.
