After carefully wiping the meat with

dripping pan and place it in a very hot
oven, where it will quickly sear over
on all sides. Then reduce the heat of
the oven and pour into the* pan with
the fat, which has come from the roast,
a cupful of hot water.
Now cut in small pieces two large
tart apples and put these into the
pan where, cooking, they will give up
their acid.
Baste the meat very often with this
liquid, adding water when necessary,
letting the pork cook slowly and thor­
oughly. Season with salt and pepper
w hen half done.
A little flour may be dredged over
the roast at intervals and a few sage
leaves powdered may be sprinkled over
it. Sage and pepper scorch easily
and must be frequently basted.
Apple sauce and horseradish may
accompany the roast pork as usual.
When the roast is done take it up
aud pour off all the drippings except
two large tablespoonfuls, being careful
to retain the brown substance at the
bottom.

Hostess Should See That Tray or Table
is Appropriately Set Off With
Flowers—To Properly Pre­
pare the Beverage.
Remember to add as a finishing
touch to the tray or tea-table a vase
with a few flowers, a single rose, three
or four asters or a yellow daffodil or
so placed in a bud vase or held in
place in a flat dish by a Japanese
frog.
Always serve cream as well as
lemon. Many persons do not enjoy
tea without cream and of course they
will not be so frank as to tell you so
when they see that the tea tray is
not supplied with any.
Serve the cut sugar In the small,
half lumps. For a small cup of tea a
large lump often proves too much and
it is always awkward to have to break
a lump or to take a lump from the
cup when It is half-dissolved.
Take pains to see that the teapot
and hot-water jug are both well heated
before pouring in the boiling water.
By doing so the temperature of the
boiling water will not be reduced in
bringing the teapot and Jug to its level.
Remember to carry the pot to the
boiling water and pour the water on
the tea leaves while the water Is ac­
tually boiling. Many persons wrong­
ly feel that if the water has boiled
it matters little whether or not It Is
still boiling when it is applied to the
tea leaves.
Always serve sandwiches or toast
in small portions. It is very awkward
for the tea drinker to have to manage
large portions.
Bread and butter
sandwiches should be of wafer thin­
ness and should be cut in inch-wide
strips. A goodly supply should be on
hand to make up for the smallness of
the single pieces.
Curdled Mayonnaise.
Mayonnaise that has curdled can
usually be brought back àgain by add­
ing it in spoonfuls to a beaten egg yolk,
having the yolk both fresh and freshly
beaten, and beating the mixture after
each additional spoonful.
In the first place, the eggs must be
fresh ; in the second place, the oil must
be about the temperature of the room
in which it Is served. Thirdly, the oil
must not be added too rapidly at the
start. Never use congealed oil; even
too cold an oil is apt to produce curd­
ling. Again, one must guard against
an excess of oil in proportion to the
number of yolks of eggs. The right
proportion is two and a half ounces
of oil to each egg. One may use three
ounces of oil if the dressing is served
immediately. In any mayonnaise, never
add onion juice when the dressing is
to be used for fruit salad ; If vinegar is
replaced by lemon juice, a whiter dress­
ing Is obtained.
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is sign you have
been eating too much
meat.
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat­
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority.
Meat forms uric acid
which overworks the kidneys in their
effort to filter it from the blood and
they become sort of paralyzed and
loggy. When your kidneys get slug­
gish and clog you must relieve them,
like you relieve your bowels; remov­
ing all the body’s urinous waste, else
you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours,
tongue is coated, and when the wea­
ther is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment, channels often get sore, wa­
ter scalds and you are obliged to seek
relief two or three times during the
night.
Either consult a good, reliable phy­
sician at once or get from your phar­
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com­
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, can­
not injure and makes a delightful, ef­
fervescent lithia-water drink.

Real Indian Pudding.
Heat one quart of milk and add
seven level tablespoonfuls of Indian
meal, moistened with water. When
nearly thick, add one quart of milk,
or one pint of water and one pint of
milk, one cupful of molasses, one cup-
ful of raisins, one cupful of tapioca,
salt, cassia and other spices as liked.
The rule is one level teaspoonful of
cassia, one-half teaspoonful of ginger,
one-fourth teaspoonful of cloves and
and one-fourth teaspoonful of nutmeg.
Bake from five to seven hours In a
moderate oven.
Hake Cutlets.
Cut a one-pound slice of hake into
squares and. so far as possible, remove
the bones. Take cure not to break the
fish into flakes. Dry the fish, dust in
cracker crumbs and dip into boiling
fat. When the fish becomes a golden
color remove and place on brown paper
to drain off the superfluous fat. Serve
with a slice of lemon.
German Beef Stew.
Cut two pounds of lean beef in
cubes, brown In dripping with one
onion, add two cupfuls warm water or
stock ; simmer three-quarter hour, add
12 small peeled onions, cook one-half
hour, add 24 stoned olives. Fifteen
minutes before serving add one-half
cupful sultana raisins or stoned
prunes.
When Frying Fish.
Fish should always be fried like
doughnuts. In deep fat. Bacon drip­
pings are perhaps as good n material
as any. Butter should not be used for
frying fish. It should be cooked until
well browned, nnd then removed nnd
allowed to drain, but not grow cool be­
fore serving.
In Place of Eggs.
Chopped suet Is very useful In tak­
ing the pince of eggs in milk puddings.
Simply sprinkle n little on the top and
the pudding will be rich and creamy.

Happy, bright, alert—vigorous and
vivacious—a good clear skin: a nat­
ural, rosy complexion and freedom
from illness are assured only by clean,
healthy blood. If only every woman
and likewise every man could realize
the wonders of the morning inside
bath, what a gratifying change would
take place.
Instead of the thousands of sickly,
anaemic-looking men, women and girls
with pasty or muddy complexions:
instead of the multitudes of “nerve
wrecks,” “rundowns,” “brain fags"
and pessimists we should see a virile,
optimistic throng of rosy-cheeked peo­
ple everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking,
each morning before breakfast, a

Those subject to sick headache, bil-

colds; and particularly those who have
a pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain a quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which
will cost but a trifle but is sufficient
to demonstrate the quick and remark-
able change in both health and ap­
pearance awaiting those who practice
internal sanitation. We must remem­
ber that inside cleanliness is more im­
portant than outside, because the skin
does not absorb impurities to contam­
inate the blood, while the pores In the
