BRAZIL NUTS ARE CAST IN A NEW ROLE

v Brazil Nuts have long been regarded as a popular confection and holiday tidbit, but to find them mixed in as a basic ingredient of a cool and “chewy” new summer salad is an experience you will surely want to enjoy. Introduced by Theophile, maitre de cuisine of the Sherry Netherland, New York’s most exclusive hotel, Brazil Nut salad is rwinning favor on the luncheon 'tables of many smart hostesses. s> Like so many .other dishes which have been prepared according to laws which govern the highest French cuisine, this intriguing new salad conveys an entirely new taste sensation. Despite the distinctiveness of such ingredients as curry powftSf, pimento £n ; d-pineapple, you Mil be unable to single them out if you foiled Theophile’s recipe to the letter. * An interesting point to be noted, when mixing this salad in your own kitchen, is the lack of olive or other oil in the dressing. This omission is considered advisable because of the abundance of oil in the nuts. Success which followed the first servings of the salad, led its creator to experiment with Brazil Nut desserts. Theophile’s recipe for Burnt Brazil'Nut ice cream, a rich and delicious part 7 treat for eight, follows that of his famous salad.

Put ten egg-yolks in a basin with ten ounces of sugar, mix well together, adding the nut mixture and a pint of bqiling milk. Set the basin oa a slow fire, stir constantly with # ’5 spatula. until it is sufficiently ' thick to stay on the spatula. Nowput aside to cool, but stir at times to prevent a ’skin forming on top. When cool, add one pint of creafm, strain through a fina sieve, and freeze. . However for service, an artistic method is to use melon-shaped molds for freezing the cream. These should be coated with strawberry ice, in which has been mixed twice its quantity of whipped cream. Theh fill the iqold with the ice cream preparation already made. Freeze the molds and unmold on a folded napkin, from which the nowcompleted dessert can easily b*. transferred to the serving disk

ITETHEN blueberry time rolls »? around, a juicy blueberry pie is the order of the day. But, just

because blueberries are so juicy, very often the .juice and sugar bubble over into the oven—the juice is lost and the oven has to be cleaned. Jnst make your next blueberry pie by this

recipe and Jour juicy fruit pie troubles will be over. The small quantity of quick-cooking tapioca absorbs and holds the juice in the pie—where it belongs. Try it and

see.

Blueberry Pie 2%- tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca; % cup granulated sugar; y 2 cup firmly packed brown sugar; Vi teaspoon salt; 1 tablespoon melted butter: 3 tablespoons water; 1 quart fresh blueberries; Pie crust. Combine quick-cooking tapioca, sugars, salt, butter, water, and berries; let stand 15 minutes, or while pastry is being made. Line a 9inch pie plate with y 2 of pastry rolled % inch thick, allowing pastry to extend y 2 inch beyond edge of plate. Moisten edge of pastry with cold water and fold inward, even with rim of plate. Fill with berry mixture. Moisten edge again. Roll other half of pastry V6 inch thick. Fold half the pastry back on other half. With sharp knife make several slits to permit escape of steam. Place upper crust on filled lower one, opening out folded half after It is placed on pie, and drawing snugly across top to prevent sagging at edges. Press edges together. Trim off surplus pastry, being careful not to cut folded edge of lower crust. Bake in hot oven (450* F.) 15 minutes: then decrease heat to moderate (350° F.) and bake 20 minutes longer, or until filling Is cooked.

T looks as "though the upside down cake had come to stay— it’s growing Increasingly popular.

More and more delicious recipes are cropping up every day and almost every kind of fruit is pressed into

service.

For my part, I find the use of cherries in an upside down cake a positive inspiration — the refreshing, distinctive flavor of cherries is a perfect foil to the cake. Here it is: Cherry Upside Down Cake IVi cups sifted cake flour; 1V4 teaspoons combination baking powder; Vi teaspoon salt; Vi cup sugar; 4 tablespoons softened butter or other shortening; 1 egg, well beaten; Vi cup»milk; 1 teaspoon'

Vanilla.

4 tablespoons butter; Vi cup eugar; 1V4 cups pitted and drained 1 red cherries, fresh or canned. Sift flour once, measure, add bik-; ing powder, salt, and sugar, and sift together three times. Add butter. Combine egg, milk, and vanilla; add to flour mixture, stirring until all flour is dampened; then beat vigorously 1 minute. Melt 4 tablespoons butter in 8x8x 'S-inch pan or 8-inch skillet, over 'low flame. Add sugar; cook and Stir until thoroughly mixed. On (this arrange cherries. Turn batter /out on contents of pan.

Caring for the Teeth

An unclean mouth takes the edge one’s appetite. Sore gums and painful teeth naturally cyrb a de sire to eat and encourage bolting

Observations seem to indicate that we overlook these facts too frequently when dealing with children. A look into a child's mouth would be revealing to many

parents.

Proper care of the teeth is a twofold matter. Teeth ought to be examined regularly by a dentist aud his instructions followed. He will tell you that food is the important factor in preventing tooth decay. The chief foods for teeth are the so-called “protective foods”—milk, fruits and vegetables. Do not deprive a child of any of these if you wish him to have sound, even

teeth.

A child should also be taught to care for his own teeth. Brushing the teeth and gums is an important habit, though we do not any longer believe that cleanliness alone will prevent tooth decay. Nevertheless it is as important as washing the face or hands and every child should learn It early in life. Dental caries, or decay of the teeih, has been called the most prevalent disease in America. It is estimated that 90 to 95 per cent of all children have it. Parents, by proper care, can prevent much of It. Summer vacation time approaches. Dr. Ireland will discuss its special problems next week.

TT Is a good Idea to vary the cake

x you serve by making a cake to Indiana, to

suit the food which is to accom-

pany it. For instance, in our family, when we are having blancmange, plain custard, or stewed pears for dessert, I try to give ; the family a spicy cake

IlNKMatwith an unusual frosting as a contrast to tho rather bland dessert. Here is just such a cake—Quick Spice Cake with a

Sift flour once, measure, add baking powder, salt, spices, and sugar, and sift together three times. Add butter- and molasses. Combine eggs and milk; add to flour mixture, stirring until all flour is dampened; then beat vigorously 1 minute. Bake in two greased 8-inch layer pans in moderate oven (375® F.) 25 minutes, or until done. Spread with Coffee Frosting. Coffee Frosting 4 tablespoons butter; 2 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar; 2 tablespoons strong coffee (about); Dash

of salt.

Cream butter; add part of sugar gradually, blending after each addition. Add remaining sugar, alternately with coffee, until of right consistency to spread. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add salt. Makes enough frosting to cover tops and sides of two 8-incb

layers.
