HINTS ON HOW TO USE HAM

Dainty Ways of Serving Meat That Will Appeal to Jaded Appetites. Sliced ham is more tender if it is baked than if fried. Cut a slice threequarters of an inch thick, ..put it into a small enamel can, turn three-quar-ters of a cupful of milk over it, cover and bake for an hour and a quarter, basting every 15 minutes with milk. For luncheon grind the ends of a boiled ham and mix it with a button onion that has been chopped fine and a little minced parsley. Put the mixture into a pan with a little butter and moisten with hot water or cream. . Simmer four or five minutes and then heap on slices of toast. For, curly bacon cut it very thin and half cook it in boiling \Ater, then curl it, fasten in shape with a toothpick and broil it over the fire. A* little grated American cheese mixed with minced ham used in sandwiches is delicious if the sandwich is friend .brown and served *very hot. Cold ham is tasty if it is shredded and cooked in currant jelly sauce. 'Put a cupful of the shredded liam into a saucepan with a level tablespoonful of butter and half a cupful of currant jelly. As soon as the jelly and butter begin to bubble add four tablespoonfuls of sherry and a seasoning of paprika. Simmer the mixture about five or six minutes and serve with toast.
