Cookery Hints.
I EVEU throw out crumbs or bits of
bread. Dry them in a slow oven,
then roll them fine and sift through
a coarse strainer. Keep them in a
glass jar ready to use for croquettes,
scalloped dishes, etc. True economy
does not consist in going without,
but In utilizing what we have In such
a way as to obtain the most from it.
When frying bacon, put the sliced
meat into a colander or sieve and
pour boiling water over it. Let it
stand in the water just a few sec
onds, theu pour cold water through
it to regain its crispness. Absorb
the water with a cloth and fry in a
smoking hot pan. The scalding re
moves the superfluous salt which is
usually left in the bacon. The fat
that is fried out in the cooking is
better than lard for frying. As It
has no burnt salt in it, it is almost
as white and pure as lard.
If you do not have ice and wish
to keep fresh meat over a day, place
on earthen dish and cover it with
cloth wrung out of vinegar, covering
with a pan to keep from drying out.
Set in cool place. This will uot injure
meat.
Cut slices of bread that have be
come stale can be freshened by plac
ing them together in a damp cloth.
Put the cloth in a paper bag and
leave it in the oven for a quarter of
an hour.
A turnip is quite as good as bacon
rind or lard for greasing cake tins
. and frying-pans. Use the cut side
of the turnip and no odor or taste
will result.
Proper Shoe for School,
Every mother should Btudy her
child's foot and buy shoes that will
fit it. Watch the barefooted child at
play and notice the space the toes re
quire when the muscles are free.
Forty per cent of high school chil
dren have flat-foot: and weak arches
and spines are common among school
girls of this age simply because the
proper care has not been give to
dressing their feet.
There are several makes of shoes
that are specially adapted to the
needs of the child. They have wide
toes and the heels are built out under
the instep so as to form a support for
the arch of the foot. It would be
well to get this kind next time you
buy shoes for your boy or girl.
Case for Traveling.
I'seful, indeed, for the traveler is
one of the writing case3 of colored
morocco. Aside from the blotting
pad, firmly held in place by the tri
angular leather corners, there are
four gusseted pockets for stationery,
and a stamp pocket. A bone-handled
pencil is fitted Into a leather loop
holder, and there is an extra loop
for a fountain pen. The case is pro
vided with a handle so that it is
easily carried, and it also has a lock
and key. Newark News.
