HELPFUl HINTS

Whether the picnic is one of those rollicking, striped-bathing suit, wa-ter-splashing affairs or whether it is one of those restful, shady-spot, bookreading affairs, there’s always one subject kindred to all of them — ‘‘When do we eat?” Doesn’t a picnic always mean lots and lots of tempting food? And doesn’t everyone •want to eat ’way too soon? Naturally they do, but when there is a box of “eat me up” sandwiches and a huge kettle of brown baked beans in the offing, who really wants to discipline those un-

and sugar and mix thoroughly. Add water and salt pork or bacon. Cover cooker and cook on low heat 8 to 12 hours. “What,” you say, “Aren’t the beans soaked first? How can they possibly become tender?” It does seem strange not to soak dried beans before cooking them; however, that is just another one of our old vexing, patience-demanding tasks, politely taken over by the Thrift Cooker. The slow, penetrating, perfectly-controlled heat of the cooker cooks the beans to a just-right

Delicious brown baked beans for the first picnic of summer are easy to prepare in the Thrift Cooker of the modem electric range.

ruly gastronomic gnawings, anyway? Agreed then, that picnics promote rotund appetites, and that picnic *ienus call for baked beans, let’s get practical and show our new baked bean “find.” This “find” is another one of those cooking miracles performed by the magic wand of the new Electric Range. The miracle takes place in the Thrift Cooker, the large economy unit, housed and well protected in the cooking top of the Electric Range. It is designed, especially, to turn such unromantic foods as dried navy beans into a pot of gold, tantalizing to smell, and delicious to eat. Here is the way that the Thrift Cooker makes the best Baked Beans that you have ever

tasted.

Picnic Bakc-d Beans 1 pound dried navy beans

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons molasses

6 tablespoons sugar 4 cups water

kfe pound salt pork or bacon

Wash beans thoroughly and place

tenderness; to a just-right degree cl moistness; to a golden brownness. The result? A kettle of the most, temptingly appetizing brown baked beans ever destined to quiet hungry appetites — picnic, or no picnic! Not only are beans, baked in the Thrift Cooker, the “top” in flavor, but they are the “top” in economy. The Thrift Cooker has such a “saving” way about it that the small amount of heat which is needed is utilized

to its greatest capacity.

But — let’s not forget — we’re going on a picnic. The sandwiches are made, the paper plates are packed and the beans are gorgeously cooked. All that remains to be done is just to lift the beans, kettle, lid, and all, from the Thrift Cooker Unit of the Electric Range. Wrap the kettle in paper, place it in the picnic basket and then advise the beans to bid “adieu” forever to the place wher«

they became famous.

SUMMER HODGE PODGE Cut up a liberal supply of any fruits and berries you have on hand, mixing them as you would for a fruit cup or punch. Oranges, apples, pineapples, grapes, cherries, peaches, pears, plums, strawberries, raspberries—all are good, and there should be at least three or four variettes used. Cook, place on crisp lettuce leaves, and just before serving, sprinkle libei;ally with a sauce consisting of two parts orange juice, one part lemon juice, and as much -sugar as can be dissolved in it without thickening. This makes an excellent salad for the children’s party, for it contains nothing except the foods children like, and is strongly alkaline in its reaction. RASPBERRY PUNCH 1 cup raspberries. 1 cup currants. 1 lemon.. 1 pint boiling water. 1 cup sugar. 1 cup tea. Crush fruit and strain through a cloth. Without taking the pulp from .the cloth put it into another dish 'and pour the boiling water over it. Drain off, but do not squeeze or it will be muddy. Add the sugar and stir until it is dissolved. Cool thoroughly before adding the fruit juice and tea. GINGER PEAR JAM 4 cups (2 lbs.) prepared fruit. 1-2 to 1 cup diced crystallized

ginger.

7 1-2 cups (3 1-4 lbs.) sugar. 1 bottle Certo. > To prepare fruit, peel, core, and crush completely or grind about 3 pounds fully ripe pears. Dice about 1-2 pound crystalized ginger. Measure sugar pnd prepared fruit, tightly packed, into large kettle- Add ginger, mix well, and bring to a full rolling boil over hottest fire. Stir constantly before and while boiling. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove from fire and stir in just 5 minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Pour quickly. Paraffin hot jam at once.

1 cup milk). Repeat and cover with buttered crumbs. Bake in moderate oven about an hour, until the" white sauce bubbles through and the potatoes are well done and brown on top. If cheese is omitted, add small pieces of butter to each layer of potatoes. In order to save time of making cream sauce, a small amount of dry flour can be sprinkled over layers of potato, and milk added to cover the potatoes.

GARNISHED PLATTER Cold boiled ham, French fried potatoes, green peas and a slice of tomato make an excellent platter for supper. Place the tomato on a crisp leaf of lettuce and surround it with a trio of pickles—an onion, a piece of cauliflower and a small whole cuatimher—and you. will make the platter far more attraciive.

TETARM weather plays pranks i ? with appetites. Haven’t you known your well-regulated family who like the things they are supposed to like, and enjoy their meals nine months in the year, to suddenly go berserk about food, when the temperature rises? For this malady, dietitians prescribe an entire change of menus, and a distinct brightening up of the table. If your table linens have been white or pastel shades all winter, use some of the new dark linens. Change everything. And above all things change your menus. Serve colorful foods. Do you know the infinite possibilities of change of color and flavor by using tomatoes plentifully on your menus? Their healthful properties will pep up jaded appetites, and suddenly your whole dinner will appear appetizing—no matter what the* thermometer says. ^ Proof erfhe Pudding Tomato Riny with Persian Melon Balls: Strain the contents of one No. 2 can of tomatoes, add one-half teaspoon salt, one teaspoon sugar and bring to boiling. Soak five teaspoons gelatin in four tablespoons cold water and dissolve in the hot tomato juice. Cool and chill. When about ready to set, add one-half cup of mayonnaise, pour into a wet ring mold and set in the refrigerator to stiffen. Meanwhilf cut a Persian melon in small balls and marinate in French dressing. When ready to serve, turn the tomato ring out onto a round platter and fill the center with melon balls. Around the ring place small hearts of lettuce filled with mayonnaise. This serves eight persons. Steak Casserole: Cut one pound slice of round steak in four servings, salt and pepper each piece and roll in flour. Brown the meat in drippings, then lay thefn in a casserole and slice over the top one onion, one carrot and one-half of a green pepper. Pour over the contents of one can of tomato soup and two tablespoons water. Cover and bake in a slow oven— 350 degrees—for one and one-hal! hours or until the meat is tender. This serves four persons. s -o An engagement ring is not exactly a gift and must be returned if the engagement is broken, according to a Chicago muicipal court ruling.
