USES FOR HONEY

CAKEB MADE WITH IT KEEP LONGER—BOILING AND SKIMMING UNNECESSARY. Various ways in which the housewife can use honey to advantage are suggested in a new publication of the department—Farmers’ Bulletin 653, •Honey and Its uses In the home.” In thin country honey has hitherto not been in common use as in Europe, especially in cookery. It Is, however, a comparatively simple matter to substitute It in many receipts for common sugar or for molasses, and when this Is done the resulting flavor is often both novel and agrdeable. One es the great advantages in the use of honey is that cakes made with It will keep much longer than those made with sugar. A honey cake made with butter, for Instance, will keep its quality until the butter grows rancid, and one made without butter will keep fresh for months. For this reason useful receipts that call for no butter. Icing made with honey has the same advantage, and some Icing made in the experimental laboratory of the Department of Agriculture was found at the end of 10 months to be as soft and in as good condition as when it was first made. Honey is marketed In two forms, known respectively as comb honey and extracted honey, the former being used much like jam or marmalade and the latter either in that way or for cooking. In the past there has been some prejudice against extracted honey—or honey removed from the comb —because It was believed that this was frequently adulterated. However prevalent this practice may have been In the past, recent legislation and the efforts of honey producers themselves have made it dangerous and unprofitable. There is now, it is bdlleved, little adulterated extracted honey oh the market. Comb honey Is practically certain to be the pure product of the hive, because it can only be adulterated ny processes which cost more than they save. When sold at retail there Is now comparatively little dlffrence In the cost of comb and extracted honey, but the latter can be purchased at wholesale very much cheaper. The reason for this is that the producer of comb honey makes a product which Is practically ready to be delivered to the consumer. Moreover, it costs the bee keeper less to produce extracted honey, while the wholesaler who purchases extracted honey has several processes to go through with before he can sell It at retail. If the housewife is willing to do these herself, she can effect a consldrable saving. Honey and Nut Bran Muffins. 1-2 cup honey, 1 cup flour, from 14 to 1-2 teaspoon soda, 14 teaspoon solt, 2 cups bran, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 1 1-2 cups milk, 34 finely chopped English walnuts. Sift together the flour, soda, and salt, and mix them with the ban. Add the other Ingredients and bake for 25 or 30 minutes in a. hot oven In gem tins. This will make about 20 muffins. Nut Honey Cake. Two cups brown sugar, 2 cups honey, 6 egg yolks, 3 cups flour, speck of salt, 1 1-2 teaspoons soda, 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoon ground cloves, 1-2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1-2 teaspoon allspice, 1 cup chopped 'raisins, 1-2 ounce citron cut in small pieces, 1-2 ounce candled orange peel cut In small pieces, 1-2 pound almonds coarsely chopped, whites of 3 eggs. Mix the sugar, honey and the yolks •of the eggs and beat thoroughly. Sift together the flour, salt, spices and soda. Combine all ingredients but the whites of the eggs. Beat the whites of the eggs till they are stiff add them last. Pour the dough to the depth of about half an inch Into wellbuttered tins, and bake in a slow oven for one-half hour. Hard Honey Cake. 84 cup honey, 1-2 cup sugar, 2 1-2 cups flour, 1 egg, 1-2 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1-2 teaspoon ground cardamon seed, 1-2 teasoon cloves, speck white pepper, speck salt, 1-2 teaspoon soda, 1 tablespoon water, 2 ounces blanched almonds cut into small pieces or chopped. Sift together the flour and spices, dissolve the soda in the water, beat the egg, and combine all the Ingredients. Beat or knead the mixture thoroughly. Cook a small sample. If it does not rise sufficiently, add a little more soda and honey; If it falls, add a little more flour. Roll out the dough to the thickness of about three-fourths of an inch and bake In a hot oven. When the cake Is done, glaze It with a thick syrup of sugar and water, and allow it to dry In a slow oven or In some other warm place. While it Is ■Hit warm cut It Into long strips, or it mai be left In one large cake to be cut Into thin slices when served. This cake will become very hard on cooling and will not be soft enough to eat for .several weeks, but will keep in good condition for an Indefinite length of time. Honey Charlotte Russe. One quart cream, 6 lady fingers, 1-2 cup delicate flavored honey. Chill the honey by placing the dish containing it in a pan of ice water Whip the cream and add it to the honey ’mixing the two well. Line a dish with lady fingers and fill it with the honey and cream, Serve ter/ cold.

What to Do In Emergencies. What would you do if you found a man seriously injured? Would you know the proper way to relieve hie Bufferings? The Pennsylvania railroad recently has taken a long step toward preparing its employes for such an emergency. Medical examiners of the relief department are giving lectures at every division point, and their work is supplemented by the issuance of “First Aid" packets and pamphlets telling what to do when a man is hurt. Here are the directions, which every one should know: Hemorrhage—Place compresses on the bleeding part and secure firmly with the cambric bandage. If this falls, tie a bandage around the limb between the point of hemorrhage and the body, and twist tightly with a stick until bleeding stops. Fracture —Broken bones should be treated with splints secured in position by triangular and other bandages. Folded newspapers, pieces of board or anything sufficient to prevent movement of the broken ends of bones upon each other will answer. Burns —Do not forcibly remove clothing: cut the clothes away, if necessary. Common baking powder, dissolved in water, should be used to saturate the bandage. Don’t use oil preparations; they are liable to cause infection. Shock From Accident —Don’t give Whiskey, drugs or any other stimulant; use hot coffee, hot milk and other hot drinks and blankets, hot-water bottles, etc. Unconsciousness —Loosen the clothing about the neck and abdomen and give the sick person plenty of air, laying him upon his back in a quiet place. ' Fits—Keep the person quiet and on his back, loosen his clothing and be careful he does not injure himself. Sunstroke and Exhaustion—ln the former apply ice to the head and abdomen, and in the latter treat as in a case of shock. In all cases those in authority are urged to KEEP COOL, send for the nearest physician and avoid touching open wounds with the hands. Recipes. GRAHAM MUFFINS —Four cups of graham flour, one teaspoon of brown sugar, one teaspoon of salt, three teaspoons of baking powder, one teaspoon of melted butter (or more if you desire) , one egg, two cups of sweet milk. Bake In a hot oven fifteen minutes. KING PUDDING—Two cups bread crumbs, one-half cup suet or butter, one-half cup molasses, one egg, one teaspoon of soda, one-half cup sweet milk, one-half teaspoon cloves, one teaspoon cinnamon, pinch of salt; boil or steam like a loaf of brown bread two hours; serve with lemon or hard sauce. GINGER SNAPS —One beaten egg, one cupful sugar, one cupful molasses, one tablespoonful soda, one table spoon vinegar, one tablespoon ginger, flour to make a stiff dough. Roll thin. Bake in a hot oven. No shortening is required. The cookies are very brittle at first, but get soft if put away for a day. VEAL A LA TURKUE—Put some cold cooked veal through the food chopper, measure and add an equal quantity of fine stale bread crumbs. Season highly with salt, celery salt, paprika, and onion juice, and to each cupful add one tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley and one tablespoonful of melted butter. Moisten with beaten egg, mold into small balls or eggs, and roll in warm boiled rice. Place in the bottom of a saucepan, half cover with hot stock, cover closely and simmer gently for forty-five minutes. Health Notes. The greatest care should be taken of the teeth. Equal parts of castde soap, powdered orris root nd precipitated chalk make a good and inexpensive 100th powder. Nail biting can be cured by will power alone in older people, as it comes from nervousness. With children dip the ends of the fingers in quinine or a little extract of quassia. Extreme temperatures should be avoided in the bath. The extremely cold bath often is a shock to the system. Sixty degrees Fahrenheit is * good temperature for the bath, both summer and winter. You can make a shade for the gas in a sickroom by using an ordinary asbestos stove mat with a ring in it. Twist a piece of wire around the burner, leaving the upper end free and bend into a hoop shade; then hang the mat to this. Eat slowly and taste your food well, and it will slide down and give more nourishment than food eaten quickly. Never eat when tired or overexhausted, but lie down, even If only for a few minutes, before dining. Using Ashes. Even ashes may be effectively used, but they must be ashes of wood only. Sifted over a lawn they make an excellent fertiliser protecting the roots of the grass and sweetening the soil This should be done in the late autumn and the ashes should be damp to prevent their being scattered by the wind. Many women delight in making patchwork quilts, and those who do will be glad to know that many attractive quilts have been designed' from patterns found in oilcloth.

Dry Cleaning at Home.

Tn every home there are many dainty articles that cannot be washed in water. Unless the housewife is well supplied with pin-money she cannot send these articles to a dry cleaner. Dry cleaning can be done at home as well as other laundry work when you know how. Dry cleaning is not dry cleaning at all, although it is not as some people suppose simply dipping in gasoline. Washing In gasoline Is Hire washing in water to which no soap Is added. To dry clean buy a reliable dry cleaner at the drug store and use It In the gasoline like soap. Place the amount of gasoline in a tub with as much dry cleaner as directed. The most delicate fabrics that would be mined If washed with soap and water can be beautifully cleaned without danger of having color changed, finish Injured or harmed by shrinking. The only real harm done In dry cleaning is too vigorous rubbing. If the article is old or very delicate or frail ,fcumerse In the gasoline and cleaner and let soak for some time, then press gently with the hands and the dirt will be quickly removed. Rinse In clean gasoline. This part of the work must be done thoroughly If you are successful. Hang In open air to dry but never In the sunshine. If clothes are carefully hung, skirts and wastes put on hangers and carefully stretched there need be no pressing after dry cleaning. This Is one of the conveniences of dry cleaning, no pressing unless heavy cloth belts or hems. Another thing, no ripping before washing, as the dry cleaner will not Injure any trimming, even bits of chiffon or lace. Often a garment Is soiled in only a few spots and these can be removed with the cleaner without leaving a ring by brushing around the spot and gradually toward the center. Placing a blotter beneath the spot will avoid leaving a ring. Use a white Blotter on delicate fabrics. Lace curtains can have their lives prolonged by washing in dry cleaner as they require no* Ironing or stretching] Woolen clothes and furs can be safely put away after dry cleaning without fear of moths. Sometimes stains remain after dry cleaning. These are some substancs not soluble In gasoline and can usually be removed with a cloth rung cut of warm water and a little white soap. Warm gasoline effective than cold. To warm gasoline place the gasoline vessel In another containing hot water. Always remember that the vapor from gasoline Is very inflammable and that it can never be used In a room with a fire or a light. Always work with gasoline in open air If at all possible as th’g remofves danger and the fumes are not so offensive. When cleaning men’s clothes search for matches before beginning. When dry cleaning a number of articles the lightest colored and those least soiled should be cleaned first. In this manner the same solution will wash the entire lot. After cleaning let the gasoline settle and then pour Into another vessel that will exclude air so It cannot evaporate. Be careful that no dregs are poured In and the mixture will be perfectly clean and can be used again and again. In this way* many dollars worth of dry cleaning can be done at home for a trifle. One can afford to wear dainty garments that would not be possible if they had to be sent to a professional dry cleaner.

Waste of Breath. It la waste of breath to argue with a person who Is out of temper, tne argument was never yet put into words which could convince anyone In that state. It is waste of breath to tell a woman to be "sensible” when she is nervous and overstrung; cheer her up by admiring her hair or her baby, or her new hat, and take her out to luncheon. It is waste of breath to expect a mother-in-law to see all the good points of her son's choice; give her time to get used to the new conditions. of things, and make excuses for her, remembering that her heart Is sore. To Dry and Polish Glass. An Inexpensive and very good cloth for drying and polishing silver and glass may be obtained at any department store. Procure a half dozen small turklsh towels. Ton will find that they not only quickly and completely absorb the moisture, but that the rough cloth Is invaluable as a polisher of both silver and glass, and ft rduces the labor of rubbing to a minimum. The Resourceful Girt. . She Is a perfect treasure, and far more necessary for the comfort of a home than a patent carpet-sweeper or even a telephone. Her suggestions In an emergency are always sensible and to the point; she does not waste time tn moaning and groaning over what can't bo helped, and makes the best' of whatever material comes to hand.* Don't forget that nitrate of soda is a quick acting fertiliser and should be applied In small doses frequently rather than In largo dooes seldom.

EAT LESS AND TAKE SALTS FOR KIDNEYS

Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers. The American men and women must guard constantly against Kidney trouble, because we eat too much and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kidneys strive to filter out, they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the eliminative tissues clog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and a general decline in health. When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead, your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night, if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is a source of irritation, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure, makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any time.
