A Future Housekeeper Asks Advice 
Could someone tell me just what is 
needed to begin housekeeping, and give 
their experience? I cannot afford the 
highest, just betwixt and between. I am 
j to be married in the Spring. 
Can someone also tell me how to ar¬ 
range dresser drawers neatly ; also hold 
a full capacity? Mine never are in order. 
I want to do things in a way that will 
make my husband proud of me. Any ad¬ 
vice in the line of placing our clothes or 
on getting along will be greatly appreciat¬

FROM THE GINGER JAR 
Keeping Lard 
There have been so many helpful arti¬ 
cles concerning the keeping and curing of 
meat that it would seem the last word 
had been said, but I have seen no method 
of storing lard that I like as well as my 
way. I usually have a year’s supply, and 
no matter how carefully it was rendered 
or where I kept it, upstairs or down cel¬ 
lar, the last of it would sometimes have 
an oily disagreeable smell, if not really 
rancid. I now can it as soon as it is 
tried out. I strain it from the kettle 
into wide-top quart cans, seal at once 
and invert while cooling. It will keep 
indefinitely and when opened it has the 
new taste and smell of fresh lard. The 
cans must be very hot to prevent crack¬ 
ing. I have a wooden tray on which I 
place cans for_ filling and I have never 
known a can to crack from heat when 
standing on wood. It is a bit of knowl¬ 
edge I stumbled upon and has, I am sure, 
saved me many a cracked can. In this 
connection it is interesting to note that 
the large stone meat jars are very apt to 
crack if left on the cellar bottom, either 
earth or concrete, but if kept standing on 
nlank or boards they are perfectly safe 
for many years. 
MRS. STANLEY CARPENTER. 
Way to Try Out Lard 
'Out up as usual, put in kettle or ket¬ 
tles, and instead of putting on the stove, 
to smoke, spatter and require almost con¬ 
stant attention, place kettle in oven at 
temperature of baking bread. The lard 
will try out with almost no attention, 
and you have the use of the top of the 
stove. Not half the danger of scorching, 
not half the muss. When ready I place 
tin strainer, covered with thin cloth, over 
jar or pail and dip lard out; need no help 
to “squeeze” in the old way. mrs. a. j. s. 
“Angel Food” Fish Balls 
Seeing mention made in “Hope Farm 
Notes” of codfish cakes as “angel food,” I 
want to give you a recipe which makes 
them as near angel food as possible, 
hoping your readers will try it for the 
light, delicate result, which is very en¬ 
joyable. Take one cup of dried codfish 
pulled apart, and soak in water while fix¬ 
ing two and a half cups of raw potatoes, 
pared and diced very fine. Into a pot 
of boiling water put potatoes (diced) and 
fish (well washed). Allow them to boil 
until potatoes are soft, then pour off 
water and mash as if mashed potatoes; 
stir in a heaping teaspoon of butter, salt 
to taste and add an egg well beaten. 
Beat the mixture thoroughly and fry in 
very hot lard, placing a good tablespoon- 
ful with the aid of a fork into a ball or 
pyramid form. Do not' mold into cakes, 
but keep light and turn often in hot skil¬ 
let so they brown as a delicate croquette. 
These fish balls served with crisp bacon 
and hot muffins make a very delectable 
breakfast or luncheon.

Two Sausage Recipes 
Pork Sausage, 1879.—Use the propor¬ 
tion of 1 lb. of fat pork to 2 lbs. of lean 
fresh pork, two teaspoons sage, two tea¬ 
spoons salt, one teaspoon pepper, one-lmlf 
teaspoon cloves, two or three blades of 
mace rubbed to dust. Chop the meat very 
fine and mix well. To keep this for any 
length of time, pack it in a jar and pour 
over it hot lard. Another recipe is the 
same as above, only it calls for a pinch 
of nutmeg in place of mace. The nutmeg 
would give abaut the same flavor as mace. 
Creole Sausages, cook book of 1879.— 
Prick the casings of pork sausage all 
over with a fork, and put them in the 
bottom of a saucepan ; add a very small 
bit of garlic. After the sausages are 
browned, add a quart of tomatoes, peeled 
and sliced, season with salt and pepper, 
and stew for a half hour very slowly. 
Serve all together on a platter. It 
answers for a regular meat course at din¬ 
ner. A combination of garlic and to¬ 
matoes gives the name Creole to any dish.

You Must Fight Film 
No whiter teeth 
without that 
If you want whiter teeth, you must 
combat the film that clouds them. 
Millions do that now. Wherever you 
look you can see the results. 
Make this free test and see the re¬ 
sults on your own teeth. 
The cloud is film 
The cloud on teeth is film. At first 
the film is viscous. You can feel it 
now. No ordinary tooth paste effec¬ 
tively combats it, so much of the film 
remains. 
Soon it becomes discolored, then 
forms dingy coats. That’s how teeth 
lose beauty. 
Film also causes most tooth troubles. 
It holds food substance which fer¬ 
ments and forms acid. It holds the 
acid in contact with the teeth to cause 
decay. Germs breed by millions in 
it. They, -with tartar, are the chief 
cause of pyorrhea. 
You have little chance to escape 
such troubles if you do not fight the 
film. - 
Dental science has now found two 
effective film combatants. One dis-

Pepsodent disintegrates the 
film, then removes it with an 
agent far softer than enamel. 
Never use a film combatant 
which contains harsh grit. 
integrates the film, one removes it 
without harmful scouring. 
These methods wfere proved by 
many careful tests. A new-type tooth 
paste has been created to apply them 
daily. The name is Pepsodent. Now 
careful people of some 50 nations em¬ 
ploy it, largely by dental advice. 
See what it does 
Pepsodent also multiplies the alka¬ 
linity of the saliva. That is there to 
neutralize mouth acids. It multiplies 
the starch digestant in the saliva, to 
digest starch deposits better. These 
combined results are bringing to mil¬ 
lions benefits you want:
