Rice Recipes. 
The Spring months are usually the most 
trying ones in the calendar for the house¬ 
keeper on a farm to provide a change in 
the daily bill of fare. Last year’s vege¬ 
tables have grown tasteless and wilted, or 
are gone entirely; the stock of canned 
goods in both fruit and vegetables is near¬ 
ing the finish, and it is still too early for 
fresh home-grown supplies. It will now 
be found that rice will often prove useful 
in making many wholesome, nutritious 
dishes. To serve it as a vegetable, it 
should be boiled carefully so that no two 
grains adhere together, and each grain 
should be swollen to twice its original size. 
It is better to use the first quality of rice 
for this purpose, although the second 
grade will do in many other ways. To 
obtain these results, wash the rice thor¬ 
oughly, and then sprinkle it slowly into a 
large kettle full of boiling water. The 
water must not be chilled, for the rapid 
boiling should be continued immediately. 
Boil 20 minutes, then drain on a colander. 
With a fork shake it up lightly, and place 
it in the oven to dry. When properly pre¬ 
pared it should be like a mound of snow. 
The left-over of plain boiled rice can be 
utilized in numerous ways. It may be 
made into excellent griddle cakes. Take 
one pint of rice, a tablespoonful of butter, 
one scant teaspoonful each of salt and 
baking powder, one egg, one cupful of 
flour, and sweet milk to make a batter. 
Bake on a griddle. The regular sour milk 
recipe can be used if preferred; simply 
add the rice and less flour. 
Rice Croquettes.—To one teacupful of 
boiled rice, add one tablespoon ful of but¬ 
ter, a beaten egg, a seasoning of salt and 
pepper, and mix well together. Mold into 
rolls, or small cakes, dip into egg, and 
then into powdered cracker crumbs and 
fry in hot butter or drippings. A little 
finely chopped cold meat is an improve¬ 
ment; it should be mixed with the rice 
and egg before molding. 
Rice Muffins.—One pint of milk, one 
pint of rice, two eggs, two tablespoonfuls 
of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter, one 
teaspoonful each of salt and baking pow¬ 
der. Beat the sugar, salt, yolks of eggs 
and butter together, add the milk and suf¬ 
ficient flour to make a thin batter; sift the 
rice in lightly, and last the beaten whites. 
Bake in rings 30 minutes. 
Rice Soup.—Place one-half a cupful of 
rice in two quarts of water, with one small 
onion sliced finely, two or three sticks of 
celery, and a small bunch of Summer 
savory. Boil two hours, adding more 
water if necessary. Strain through a col¬ 
ander, return to the fire and add the 
beaten yolks of two eggs and one pint of 
rich milk. Let it come to a boil and serve 
with toasted crackers. 
Rice is something which can be quickly 
converted into a dessert when pressed for 
time, while many toothsome dishes can be 
prepared from it that will require some¬ 
what more of an effort. For plain boiled 
rice, add a handful of raisins after the 
rice has been cooking 15 minutes, drain 
the same as when preparing it for a veg¬ 
etable. Serve with sweetened cream. It 
is a good plan to cook enough rice for 
two meals at one time, and serve it the 
second day with boiled custard. 
Rice and Apple Dessert.—Boil two 
tablespoonfuls of rice in one pint of milk 
until tender, but not broken; to this add 
one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful 
of butter, and the beaten yolks of two 
eggs. Pare and core several large apples, 
place in a deep dish, and fill the centers 
with butter and sugar, pour in a little 
water and bake until soft. Remove from 
the oven, pile the rice around the dish and 
between the apples, return to the oven and 
brown iightly. Serve with sweetened 
cream. sarah rodney. 
The Rural Patterns. 
Xo. 5240 shows a very becoming form 
of the round chemisette, and while as 
shown the waist is made of crepe de chine, 
with a lining, similar styles are used for 
the unlined lingerie waists. As illustrat¬ 
ed the chemisette is made separate from 
the waist and closes at the back, but it can 
he made in one with the waist, closing at 
the left shoulder seam, if that style is pre¬ 
ferred, also the sleeves allow a choice of 
three-quarter or ful! length. The waist 
is made over a fitted lining, which is closed 
at the center front, and consists of the 
fronts and the back, which are arranged 
! n outward turning plaits. The neck edge 
is finished with a shaped strap and the 
closing is made invisibly beneath the edge 
of the right front. The sleeves also arc 
made over fitted foundations and these 
are faced to form the deep cuffs when 
full length is liked. The quantity of mate¬ 
rial required for the medium size is 
yards 21, 3 yards 27 or 1% yards 44 inches 
wide, with Z yard of all-over lace and 
3K> yards of lace edging to make as illus-

WANT AND NEED. 
There’s a big difference 
between what a baby wants 
and what he needs. Deny 
him the one, give him the 
other. Most babies need 
Scott’s Emulsion — it's the 
right thing for a baby. It 
contains a lot of strength¬ 
building qualities that their 
food may not contain. After 
a while they get to want it. 
Why? Because it makes 
them comfortable. Those 
dimples and round cheeks 
mean health and ease. Scott’s 
Emulsion makes children 
easy; keeps them so, too.

The Improved 
Acme Washer 
will wash thoroughly and perfectly clean 
anything, from the finest piece of lace to the 
heaviest blanket, without tearing a thread or 
breaking a button. In fact there is nothing 
in the way of washing which can be done by 
hand or with any other machine which can¬ 
not be done better, more easily and more 
rapidly with the Improved Acme Washer. 
Besides being made of the very best 
materials, handsomely finished in natural 
wood, it has a number of 
SPECIAL FEATURES 
not found on any other machine. These consist of: 
1, a Movable Wringer Stand,which brings the 
wringer directly over the tub. so that ail the water 
falls back into the tub, instead of on the floor. 
(The wringer need never be taken off.) 2, the 
Hinged Lid, which is practically steam-tight, 
prevents the water from splashing over. This is 
merely raised up and leaned hack against the 
handle, so that all the suds must drain into the 
tub. 3, theKxtension Stand holds the basket, 
or rinsing tub, close to and on a level with the 
machine, so that the clothes cannot fall on the 
floor, and no stooping is necessary. 4, No Iron 
Post runs through the machine to rust and stain 
or tear the clothes. 
There are many other good points about the 
Acme, all described in detail in our little booklet 
entitled “Wash-day Comfort,'' This is tree for

Stripped of all embellishments, how many stove manufacturers are will¬ 
ing to show you the vital elements of their product as we do here in the 
incomparable 
TIN 
ANGE 
The minute heat leaves the fire box, 
it is evenly and thoroughly distributed 
around the entire oven which makes it 
the best baking range extant. Note the 
patented flue strip, making two even 
channels of heat, and conducting it en¬ 
tirely around, and preventing a short 
cut to the exit flue at bottom, under the 
oven. A set of circulation plates draw 
in hot air at one end and discharge 
super-heated air at another, a new 
feature which also contributes largely 
to an even and complete oven heat. 
The plate next the fire box is protected 
by extra heavy fire brick; the 
bottom plate is free from cold 
floor draft* because the main 
bottom of the stove is heavily 
cemented. Every joint is solid 
to prevent admission of cold 
air which is fatal to perfect 
heating. In fact, the entire 
flue system of the STERLING 
RANGE is so complete that it 
is the chief reason why only the 
STERLING can “bake a barrel of flour with a hod of coal.” 
And, as we said before, no other manufacturer has dared to 
show the vital parts of their range, as we do here, but when you see the 
beautiful outside design, you will admit the work of*an eminent modeler and 
sculptor is a most symmetrical and worthy coat for such a thoroughly con¬ 
structed Range as we so willingly guarantee the STERLING to be. 
Every dealer admits it “has no equal,” and if your dealer does not keep 
them, write us for full information and the name of one who does.
