Here and There.

A good, sweet sandwich filling is made of dates and powdered sugar. ( To make baked potatoes dry and mealy, just when potatoes are tender, put a fork at least twice into each potato to let the steam escape. Try mixing pancakes in a pitcher of the bellboy shape, one that an eggbeater fits in nicely. It is much easier to pour directly from the pitcher on to the griddle instead of ladling the batter out of a bowl. Celery and lettuce may be kept fresh by sanding the roots in cold water and throwing over them a damp cloth or dry manila paper. They should, before using, be washed thoroughly, soaked in ice water and dried on a towel.

To prevent the gas oven from getting on fire when broiling put some water in the drip pan.
