Don’t Waste Apples Now 
Easy Way of Serving’—A Spring Hat Contest 
259 
M ANY have apples at this time which 
won’t keep much longer. There are 
many ways of using them. If you have 
never made your apple sauce by baking it, 
you do not know it at its best. If you 
haven’t a caserole use a common jar and 
cover it. It is just like apple pie without 
the crust. Put first a rather thick layer 
of apples, a sift of sugar, a sprinkle of 
salt (not too much) and dot with butter. 
Apples to can are fine if cooked this way. 
Another good use is for conserve and 
helps out if such supplies are getting low. 
6 pounds apples 1 orange 
5 pounds sugar 1 lemon 
1 pound raisins cook till thick. 
Apple Cake 
2 cups sugar 2 teaspoons soda dis- 
4 eggs solved in 
1 cup shortening >4 cup cold water 
3 cups flour 
1 teaspoon each cinnamon, cloves, allspice 
:) green apples chopped fine. 
Apple Frosting 
White of one egg 
1 cup sugar 
small cup grated apple. 
Add sugar and apple gradually to the 
unbeaten egg white; beat until stiff. 
For Breakfast 
Wasn and core apples and place in a 
baking dish. Fill the cavities with sugar. 
Pour cooked oatmeal or cooked tapioca 
over apples and bake in a moderate 
oven until the apples are soft. Serve with 
sugar and cream.— Mrs. E. M. C. 
Probably every housewife knows that 
putting the broom into hot suds about 
once each week will toughen and lengthen 
its life twofold, ^and that if the lamp 
chimneys are put into cold water with a 
little coarse salt, let slowly come to a 
boil and as slowly cooled they will not be 
broken by a bit of cold air or a drop of 
water. 
Time-saving, too, is just as important. 
Waste paper kept conveniently at hand 
saves time formerly spent at the disagree¬ 
able job of cleaning cloths used to polish 
the stove and clean greasy pans and 
kettles. The papers can be burned. 
AVhat woman hasn't juggled a hot 
pan lid that has lost its knob, when half 
a spool with a washer at the top and a 
common nail clinched on the underside, 
solves the problem?

Here is a bonnet of delicate lace 
Fashioned to soften my Grandmother’s 
face. 
Hand made is this one, with buckles and 
beads. 
Something my neighbor most certainly 
needs. 
Here is a model of ribbon and straw 
Just the right thing for my mother-in-law. 
Here is a plain one of black without life 
Fashioned, no doubt, for a minister’s wife. 
This one so daring and flaring in red 
Soon will parade on my washwoman’s 
head. 
Here is a hat with a /f/oc-trimmed crown 
Matching my mother’s pale lavender 
gown. 
This one, severe. Puritanical, gray 
Looks like my old maiden aunt, I must 
say. 
This one with silver lace, flowers and 
plume 
Goes to my rival (Old Cat), I presume. 
Here is a gay little model from France 
Waiting to tilt at my own happy glance.

Saving Dollars 
TX our scramble for the dollar that we 
* might make, we are apt to forget that 
uue saved is just as good and spendable. 
We read of so many useful things,, then 
lay them away and they pass out of mind 
until some rainy day, perhaps, and we 
look them over and lo! there is “just 
what I needed last week!” It is wise to 
have a system of filing for the helpful 
items which we cannot expect to re¬ 
member. 
For instance here are some nuggets of 
information to start your household-hint 
file: 
1 he ugly blotch where the plaster has 
iallep from the wall can be repaired by 
taking two parts of sand, two parts sifted 
ashes (coal preferred) and one part wheat 
flour, mix with water to the consistency 
of putty and it will become hard as stone 
in twelve hours. 
More than one hundred. 
All the styles which will 
be popular this Spring 
and Summer. Designs 
for the slim, the medium 
and the stout figure.

They answer the same purpose as the 
mothball without the disagreeable odor. 
The scent of cloves clings to the clothing 
and lingers pleasantly. — Mrs. R. G.
