How to Keep the Mois- 

 ture in Cheese 



CHEESE would not get 

 stale and dry so quickly 

 if proper care were taken of it 

 as soon as it comes into the 

 kitchen. If a whole cheese 

 is bought at one time, after 

 the first slice has been taken 

 out of it, the fiat side of a 

 warm knife should be rubbed 

 over the cut surface. This 

 closes the pores and keeps the 

 cheese moist. 



Whenever possible, cheese 

 should be wrapped in oiled 

 or parchment paper. When 

 such paper is not obtainable, 

 cheesecloth which has been 

 moistened in salt water and 

 then wrung out almost dry, 

 may be substituted. 



It must not be kept too 

 moist or it will go moldy.

*'Stretching" a Pound of Butter to 

 Make Two Pounds 



TWO pounds of good table 

 butter out of one pound and 

 a pint of milk? Yes, it's done. 

 The churn which performs the 

 feat was recently placed upon 

 the market. It is square in 

 shape and heavy of glass, 

 and the churning m_echan- 

 ism, entirely of metal, is 

 attached to the glass 

 churn by a metal screw 

 cap. In making the 

 "stretched" butter the 

 churn is warmed 

 before the milk 

 and shaved butter are 

 put in. After stirring 

 one minute the whole 

 churn is placed into 

 cold water and the 

 operation is completed 

 by churning for another 

 minute. Salt and, if de- 

 sired, some coloring 

 should be added before 

 churning.

They Carried Stoves in Their Arms 

 And Kept From Freezing 



THEY sat huddled up together, 

 four chorus-girls, in a freez- 

 ingly cold New York street-car on 

 one of the days that New York 

 shivered and wondered whether 

 it would ever be warm again. 

 Each girl held in her hands 

 what looked like an oval- 

 shaped can wrapped in 

 some fabric. 

 "What are they hold- 

 ing?" 



Everybody in the 

 car asked himself that 

 question. 



The mysterious cans 

 proved to be automo- 

 bile foot-warmers, 

 heated by charcoal. 

 Carrying a stove in your 

 arms must have its pleas- 

 ant side, judging from 

 the expressions of the 

 girls in our photograph. 

 They would be awkward 

 for shopping though.
