That Fruit Salad. 
A request for a fruit-salad recipe, 
with the reply giving suggestions as to 
appropriate use of them prompts the 
giving of a thoroughly tested recipe and 
a word as to how we (in the writer’s 
social circle) use it. Although it is 
‘ailed a “salad’ by most people others 
will it a “fruit cocktail,” but by either 
name it is served as a first course— 
sometimes as the only one. At very 
elaborate luncheons, where several 
courses are served, it is the first course 
and served with only the crispest of 
vafeis to accompany it, and the acidity 
cd the fruit makes it the finest kind of 
an appetizer for the following courses. 
A few days ago I saw this served at a 
missionary meeting where the members 
remained a few hours, between dinner 
and supper time (country hours), and 
nothing else was served except the 
wafers that went with it. At club meet¬ 
ings it has been popular. Every house¬ 
wife knows the satisfaction there is in 
offering something eatable to her guests, 
and every hostess with a mixed com¬ 
pany to entertain knows that the serv¬ 
ing of even as simple refreshments as 
this salad represents is the greatest of 
aids to general sociability. It may be 
said that a small tray with salad plate 
on a larger one, wafers beside it, and a 
glass of water and a napkin is given 
each guest. If not enough trays are to 
be had let the under plate be a dinner- 
plate size. 
Before giving the recipe let me say 
that the fruits may be varied to suit 
individual tastes, or convenience. One 
variation that seems to change the entire 
character is to omit the cooked dressing 
and use the juice of oranges instead. 
This gives more orange to be mixed 
with the fruits and if care is taken in 
cutting the orange skins may be made 
into baskets. If not, cut them across 
and use as cups in which to serve the 
mixture, placing a perfect lettuce leaf or 
two under the cup (?). Some v omen, 
who do not object to the use of wine use 
it as the combining substance though the 
majority prefer to use the orange juice 
and run no risk of offending a guest 
who might object to the wine. 
For the salad.—Cut finely, and mix 
thoroughly one cupful each of Malaga 
grapes, canned cherries, pineapple, Eng¬ 
lish walnuts, sliced tart apples, and one 
large orange. For the dressing beat 
together two eggs, three teaspoon¬ 
fuls each of sugar, mustard and 
cream, three tablespoonfuls of lemon 
juice and a pinch of salt. Cook 
in double boiler. When cool (a little 
time before serving) add half a pint of 
whipped cream (not 'too stiff) to the 
dressing and then stir in the mixed 
fruits. Serve on lettuce leaves. The 
fruit may be mixed several hours before 
needed and is finer for the blending of 
flavors that will take place. The dress¬ 
ing may be prepared hours in advance, 
but the addition of the whipped cream 
and the combining of the whole should 
be done immediately before time for 
serving. eva ryman-gaillard. 
Rice Made Attractive. 
It is often urged upon the housekeep¬ 
er that rice is one of the most nutritious 
and cheapest of all foodstuffs. Now, no 
one except the actually fussy can really 
dislike rice, but in most households the 
cook notices that it is not eaten where 
a variety of other and more highly 
flavored dishes are on the table. Our 
appetites have become accustomed to 
being tempted by things not merely 
palatable but more attractive to eye and 
taste. Therefore, it is worth while to 
know several ways of making so useful 
a stand-by as rice into dishes of which 
the family will approve. 
As rice must first be boiled to be 
soft, light and in whole kernels, the cook 
must make a right start. The popular 
rule is to sprinkle the washed rice into 
water salted and bubbling hot and to 
keep it at a furious boil for 20 minutes 
Another way that will turn out an ex¬ 
cellent article is to pour boiling water 
over the rice after washing and salting 
it and stand it on the back of corner of 
the range to slowly swell and cook. 
Never touch spoon or fork to stir the 
rice. You may shake the saucepan oc¬ 
casionally, though, and having let the 
water dry out, should add creamy milk 
in its place during the last part of the 
cooking. This rice will be whole, light 
and very tasty. 
Rice with Tomato Sauce.—Have as 
much rice, cooked as above, as is likely 
to be eaten. Put an empty cup or bowl 
in the center of a casserole or deep 
baking dish and turn the hot boiled rice 
in around it. Prepare a sauce by strain¬ 
ing canned or stewed tomatoes, thicken¬ 
ing them with blended butter and flour 
and seasoning highly with any condi¬ 
ments liked. Salt, paprika and a touch 
of onion juice will suit some palates. 
Children may prefer a light touch in 
salt and pepper and considerable sugar, 
and others will approve of an addition 
of catsup or kitchen bouquet. A half 
hour before serving have the sauce hot, 
take out the cup or bowl, and pour the 
tomato dressing in the center of the rice. 
Cover and set in a hot oven to be thor¬ 
oughly heated. This dish looks much 
prettier than if the sauce had been 
blended with the rice, and in serving 
the two become thoroughly mixed. 
Rice Muffins (Fried).—Into a dish of 
warm cooked rice break several eggs 
and beat the whole thoroughly. Add 
salt if needed and fry by spoonfuls in 
rather deep fat. These make a hearty 
side dish and are usually liked by men. 
Rice Pancakes.—If successfully made 
these are the best of all pancakes. It is 
well to add considerable milk to the 
cooked rice before it cools, using sour 
milk if you have it. A small quantity 
of rice left from dinner will come in 
well as breakfast pancakes. Add an egg, 
salt, flour, a little melted butter and 
more milk if needed to make cue us-al 
batter, depending upon the sour milk and 
the necessary amount of baking soda for 
lightness. Or use baking powder with 
sweet milk. 
Rice Muffins (Baked).—Half cup of 
sugar and a tablespoon of butter should 
be creamed together and a cup of cold 
boiled rice worked in, adding milk as 
needed with the rice. Add one and one- 
half cup of wheat flour and two tea¬ 
spoons of baking powder and a beaten 
egg. Bake in cup-cake tins and serve 
hot at breakfast. 
Rice with Fruit.—Most housekeepers 
are familiar with the dessert of boiled 
rice into which has been mixed, just be¬ 
fore dinner time, a cupful of stoned dates 
or of not-a-seed raisins, or even of 
stewed and pitted prunes or of any 
dried and stewed fruits. If accompanied 
by cream and powdered sugar most peo¬ 
ple will eat heartily of this as a last 
course at dinner and will not rebel if it 
be alternated occasionally with pie and 
rich puddings. pattie lyman.

“ LIKE MAGIC” 
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes. 
When a man has suffered from dys¬ 
pepsia so many years that he can’t re¬ 
member when lie had a natural appetite, 
and then hits on a way out of trouble he 
may be excused for saying “it acts like 
magic.” 
When it is a simple, wholesome food 
instead of any one of a large number of 
so called remedies in the form of drugs, 
he is more than ever likely to feel as 
though a sort of miracle has been per¬ 
formed. 
A Chicago man, in the delight of re¬ 
stored digestion, puts it in this way: 
“Like magic, fittingly describes the 
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved 
me of poor digestion, coated tongue and 
loss of appetite, of many years standing. 
“I tried about every medicine that 
was recommended to me, without relief. 
Then I tried Grape-Nuts on the sugges¬ 
tion of a friend. By the time I had fin¬ 
ished the fourth package, my stomach 
was all right, and for the past two 
months, I have been eating with a relish 
anything set before me'. That is some¬ 
thing I had been unable to do previously 
for years. 
“I am stronger than ever and I con¬ 
sider the effects of Grape-Nuts on a 
weak stomach as something really won¬ 
derful. It builds up the entire body as 
well as the brain and nerves.” Name 
given by the Postum Co., Battle Creek, 
Mich. 
“There’s a reason,” and it is explained 
in the little book, “The Road to Well- 
ville,” in pkgs.
