Have you ever in a moment of
social graciousness invited someone
. to drop in for din-
' ner and then dis
covered that the
ration books can-
I not offer much
I help? This hap-
I pens to all of us
' these days, but
there are ways
means
to
and
skirt around this
situation.
Did you know that a roast can be
made from a few frankfurters and
that it can taste as good and look
as luscious as a prewar steak? Or,
if the sugar bowl is bare, syrup
can sweeten the cake and syrup can
make an icing that stands in frothy
peaks?
Don't let strict rationing keep you
from being generous about inviting
people over. It's more necessary
now than ever when travel is curbed
and we must seek "homey” enter
tainment.
And remember, too, there are no
curbs on the niceties of serving.
Good linens, shining silverware,
sparkling glassware and attractive
china will dress a table beautifully.
A bowl of garden-fresh flowers or
an arrangement of your own or
chard's fruits can add personality
touches even to simple dinners,
Now, here's the first dinner sug-
gestion:

Frankfurter Crown Roast
Broccoli
Fried Apple Rings
Orange Rolls

French Dressing
Peanut Brittle Sugarless Cake
Iced Tea or Coffee
This frankfurter roast is a satis
fying but low-point meat dish that is
guaranteed to please your guests.
The "franks” are kept moist and
juicy by brushing with salad oil, and
the meat, itself, is extended by the
use of a spicy, well-seasoned bread
dressing.

This sugarless cake, though made
with syrup, is light, moist and fine-
textured.
The important point to
keep in mind is to add the syrup to
the creamed shortening very grad
ually. Pour it from a bottle into a
measuring cup and add a little at
a time, beating until the mixture is
thoroughly blended after each ad
dition.
When syrup is properly
blended in this way, a smooth, light
batter results.

Ants Prove Versatile
Harvest ants, and particularly the
stinging, or “fire" ants of the South
and Southwest, in addition to being
agricultural pests, are a menace to
military airfields and drill grounds.
In Texas and other parts of the
Southwest, stinging ants have been
known to halt military drilling until
they were exterminated.
Ants foster aphids, plant lice, and
mealy bugs for food. They carry
the aphid eggs underground in the
autumn and protect them over the
winter. In the spring they carry
the young aphids to “pasture” by
transporting them to succulent plant
life.

Clearing Walks
Cleaning snow off walks and
I driveways by the old - fashioned
| method of shoveling may be obso-
ete after the war if a new method
involving the use of pipe coils for
thawing snow gains general accept
ance. Hot water or steam from the
heating plant is circulated through
the coils which are imbedded in the
cement sidewalk. The heat melts
the snow or ice. This method was
developed for the fast removal of
snow and ice from airplane runways ,
in Canada.______________
Save that Pennant!
Few Americans appreciate the
Jap's willingness to perish for his
regimental flag. But to the Nip. this
piece of silk is like a fetish. It is
bestowed upon the troops by the Em-
beror himself; its staff is topped by
the 16-petaled gold chrysanthemum
that is symbol of the Imperial fami
ly. Special guards watch over it
during the course of each campaign;
if it is lost to the enemy the entire
regiment is condemned to eternal
disgrace.

Early digging reduces the pota
to yield. The crop may be left in
the ground as long as a month
after maturity provided insects
are not present in great number.
Room Lighting
A room painted in deep blue or
green requires much more light for
illumination than the same room
painted white or cream. The dark
colors absorb several times as much
light as the brighter colors, which
reflect most of the light back into
the room.
Cleans Pot
If you have sour milk you can’t
use, put it in the coffeepot, leaving
the gadgets in pla^e. Allow to stand
a day or two, then pour out. and that
awful brown will drain away with it.
Wash the pot well with soapy water,
scald thoroughly and allow to air.

Pickled Beets
ANVdWOO AlddRS SV11V
Canning pickled beets is a good
way to put up some of the beet
crop. The acid of vinegar used in
pickling helps preserve beets and
keep them a bright red. A pressure
canner is not necessary for canning
pickled beets. If pickled beets are
to be kept more than a few days,
they should be processed in a boil
ing water bath, as in canning fruits.

Quick Soups
Quick soups can be made from
grated raw root vegetables. The
grating saves cooking time. Use two
cups grated raw carrots or turnips
to one quart of milk. Season with
onion, salt and chopped parsley. Add
two tablespoons of melted fat and
"bind" with one tablespoon flour.

Lynn Says
If Recipe Doesn't Fit the Fam
ily: If you run across recipes that
are too large for the family, let
the following hints be your guide:
One-fourth to one-third pound of
lean meat is a good proportion to
use for one serving. When buy
ing a roast, plan to serve it for
several meals.
One-half to two-thirds of a cup
of vegetables are good guides to
vegetable serving.
Don't try to divide eggs in
small recipes. Too much egg 0
better than not enough and more
than the recipe calls for will have
little effect on the result, but
will add more nourishment.
When making half a muffin
recipe, fill empty tins with water
to protect the cups.
Cake and cookie recipe* should
not be divided. Both keep well
for several day* to a week, and
a larger quantity can be made
safely.
Crushed peanut brittle and ayrup
provide all the sweetening neces
sary for this lovely glamour cake.
Sugarless frosting also made with
out sugar stands in high, beautiful
peaks and stays soft.
These individual beef loaves are
extended with bread crumbs but
none of the precious meat flavor
need be sacrificed when a seasoning
of rich beef broth is used to high
light the meaty flavor.
