Curtains Aid in Keeping House Cool Creating an atmosphere of coolness in summer, when there so frequently is none, is an accomplishment worthy of study. The first necessary step is taken in the treatment of windows. Bare windows are the worst offenders against the appearance of coolness. Drape your windows in such a way as to not exclude air, but to attain some degree of privacy. This most easily is accomplished by the use of extremely sheer, tieback. ruffled curtains. If you desire a valance, use either the ruffled valance of self material, or a plain or ruffled chintz, together with tie-backs of the same. If no valance is used, finish off the top of the curtains attractively with a shirred edging, and use a chintzcovered shade for color. If you can not get the exact thing you want ready-made, make them .'.ourself. If you have an electric sewing machine, they will not prove difficult to make. Also, by making : our own, you can get original effects that otherwise would be impossible. For instance, you might omit the tussle on tie-back curtains and use a scalloped picot edge instead. Instead of using ordinary tie-backs, use a colored cord the same color, with a double tassel. If possible, use slip covers on all overstuffed chairs and davenports. They need not be made from expensive material, and unless your furniture is odd shaped, it is quite likely that you will be able to make and fit them yourself. If they are meant only for sum-

Sandwiches

. Whether the picnic was created for the sandwich or the sandwich for the picnic is a mooted question. Anyway, now that the picnic season is here, we know that we shall be wanting suggestions for making many different kinds of good sandwiches. Dolly Alden is ready for you. She has a number of suggestions for picnic sandwiches that she will be glad to send you on receipt of a stamped addressed envelope. Write to Dorothy Alden, The Indianapolis Times.

mer use, they would not need to be made so carefully. By all means use a light-colored, washable material. Floors play a most important part in creating an atmosphere of coolness. By keeping them bare, except for a few scatter rugs, you further will achieve the effect you are after. In such a case, however, the floor should be one that is handsome and well-kept.

Milk Has High Value as Food for Whole Family; Summer Uses Are Many A NOTED writer once said that civilization began when the cave woman ordered her man to lasso a cow, stake her out, and domesticate her. From that time on, civilization made rapid progress, for milk is one of the necessities to people who would grow metnally as well as physically. Whether this is an actual fact in the history of civilization I do not know, but I do know that within the last few years so much has been

written and said concerning the food value of milk that people have become “milk conscious.” as it were, with the gratifying result that there are fewer underneurished children, fewer children with poor bones and bad teeth. There is nothing new' to say on the subject of milk, but that which already has been said can not be repeated too often, so important is it that mothers and homemakers be made to realize the value of this food not only for children, but for adult members of the family as well. What, then, should the homemaker know about milk? She should know' that whole milk contains vitamines which children need for growth; that it contains protein in an easily digested form, which children and adults need for repair of their body mechinery; there are important minerals in it, principally calcium,

which is essential in the formation of strong bones and good teeth.

Drink a Quart Daily Children should have at the very least a pint of milk a day. It is much better for them to consume a quart daily. Adults should have a minimum of a pint a day. It is not necessary that this amount in either case be consumed as fluid milk. It may be used in combination with other foods, such as cereals, puddings, cream sauces, cream soups, etc. Happily, milk combines readily with any number of foods in the preparation of our three meals. Many people have the mistaken f idea that milk is a beverage instead

lof a food. Its liquid form is re- ; sponsible for this, of course, but it | should be remembered that in the I process of digestion it is changed from a liquid to a solid. This fact should be of interest, to overweights who like milk as well as to the underweight group. If the former will remind himself that milk is a food and that every glassful represents a hundred calories, instead of topping off an otherwise adequate meal with a glass of milk, he will include the i milk in his figures. He can drink | all of it he wants within his calorie i limit. Milk Is “Protective” In fact, it is advisable that he include milk in his daily rations under these conditions, for too often the person who is reducing neglects the foods which a;re knowm as the “protective group, of which milk is one. Milk will protect, and if the diet is j carefully planned, will not prove fat- j tening. There are three points which should be disregarded relative to the care of milk. Keep it cool, clean, and covered. Where the milk is delivered early in the morning and can not be brought into the house and placed on ice immediately, provide a sheltered place in which the milkman can leave it., protected not only from the sun, but from stray dogs and cats. The milk bottle, especially the top, should be cleaned carefully before the milk is poured from it. The dairy is responsible for the cleanliness of the inside of the bottle, but can not very well be responsible for the outside. Milk is the nearest to a perfect food of any we have. It is therefore the homemaker’s duty to see that her family receives its quota of it. She should use milk whereever possible in her cooking, as w r ell as having it available for drinking purposes. Here are a number of ways for serving milk which not only will be acceptable during hot weather, but will be especially pleasing to members of the family who may not care for it “as is.” Many of them are sufficiently nourishing to take the place of a summer mid-day lunch, supplemented with a light sandwich: Milk Orangeade Beat separately the white and yolk of an egg. Gradually add the juice of one orange to the yolk. Then add the beaten white, and whip to a froth. Fill a glass about half full of the orange mixture. Then add whole, cold milk. Serve immediately. Maple Milk Beat an egg until foamy, and gradually add 2 tablespoon maple syrup. Stir in %-cup cold, whole milk. Serve with spoonful of whipped cream sprinkled with maple sugar. The egg or the cream may be omitted, as the maple syrup, in itself, gives a very pleasant flavor. Prune Nog Thoroughly mix equal quantities of chilled prune juice and whole milk. Other fruit juices may be substituted. Milk Coolers Effervescent milk drinks may be made by adding to ice cold milk, small quantities of chilled sarsaparilla, ginger ale, or other bottled soft drinks. Milk Shakes Fill a glass 2-3 full of cold milk. Sweeten to taste and flavor with 2 tablespoons of fruit juice, strained I preserved, melted jelly or chocolate j syrup. Fill the glass with finely ! chopped ice. If you have no shaker, mix by pouring from one glass to another. When frithy, sprinkle with cinnamon or nutmeg, and serve. Milk Punch Two tablespoons sugar, U cup of charged water, 1 cup of milk and teaspoon vanilla. Mix sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir : well and add the water. Pour this j mixture from one bowl to another to froth it. Hold the bowl high as you pour the liquid. When it is frothy, pour into a tumbler and ; serve. Iced Chocolate Make chocolate or cocoa as usual, chill and serve in tall glasses with ! chopped ice, topped with sweetened, whipped cream. Chocolate yrup i may be made and kept on hand by ; storing in a covered jar in the re- | frigerator. A few teaspoons of this stirred into a glass of milk makes 1 very acceptable iced chocolate, which can be prepared in an instant. Scarf at Its Peak The scarf is at the very peak of the mode for almost every kind of dress. Shops, large and small, are showing scarfs almost like mufflers. Use candy thermometer if possible: if not drop a little of mixture | in cold water and test as follows: Soft ball, 236 to 240 degrees: firm , ball, 242 to 248: hard ball, 250 to 260; brittle, 270 to 290.

Keep Eye on Your Lights

You will get more satisfactory | service from your electric lights .if I you will pay heed to these suggestions: Don’t give the bulb a hard, final twist when screwing it into the socket. This tends to loosen the glass from its brass base and shorten the life of the lamp. Don’t let dust gather on lamp bulbs. It may absorb as much as half the light. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth at least once a week. Don’t use lamps that have become blackened from long use. They waste your light and strain the eye. Don't use bare lamps. Have a shade of glass, silk or parchment to soften the light and spare the eye. Cooked Dressing Gives Zest to Summer Salads With the salad season starting, ; this cooked salad dressing recipe will | prove interesting: 14 teaspoon mustard t v< teaspoon salt IVS teaspoon sugar Its tablespoon flour Vi teaspoon paprika 1 essr 1 cup milk 4 tablespoon vinegar IV4 tablespoon margarine or butter. Mix together all the seasonings, including flour and sugar. Add beaten egg and mix well. Add milk and vinegar and cook in doubleboiler until thickened. Add the fat and stir until melted. Whipped Cream Dressing—To the foundation recipe, add L cup of whipped cream. Fold in lightly. Tarragon Dressing—ln the foundation recipe use only 2 tablespoons vinegar and add 2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar. Add 2 tablespoons chopped onion and 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. Horseradish Dressing—To the foundation recipe add 3 tablespoons prepared horseradish. This is good as a sauce for cold meats. Celery Dressing—To the foundation recipe add *4 cup chopped celery, 2 tablespoons chopped green pepper and 2 tablespoons of chopped red pepper. Gloves with Cuffs Liked For wear with a fancy chiffon dress there are gloves with cuffs made elaborate with embroidery or beading cr cut-work designs, which are endorsed by some of the outstanding designers. The one-button glove fitting snugly at the wrist shows to advantage the new cuff styles and at the same time emphasizes the sleeveless effect. Cook cream candies without stirring after the sugar has been added.

The Voice of Service to the Homemaker.. WITH PARDONABLE PRIDE we refer to the splendid influence for the betterment of conditions of the homemakers of Indianapolis created by the zealous efforts of Mrs. J. R. Farrell, Director of the Home Service Department of our Company. “Let Us Give Service,” the motto of the founder of the company, the late Charles C. Perry, has been the beacon light for the success attained in presenting to the women of the city a “downtown home” wherein is exemplified the use of all domestic electrical appliances—the “Little Servants of the Home” that have released them from so much household drudgery given them leisure hours for better home-planning and recreational activities. A visit to our modern electrical home on the lower floor of our building, 48 Monument Circle, on your trips to the shopping district will be found invaluable. Always you are welcome and always will your electrical problems or any housekeeping problems be given the most earnest consideration with respectful advice.

Appropriate June Dishes Easily Made Here are a few recipes that Dr. Martha Manning, home refrigeration expert, considers especially appropriate for June: Tomato Juice Cocktail—two cups strained tomato juice, 4 teaspoons chopped parsley, H teaspoon tobasco sauce, 4 teaspoons chopped chives, H teaspoon lemon juice, 's teaspoon Worcestershire sauce and 1 teaspoon salt. Let chives and parsley stand in tomato juice for about three hours. Strain and add seasoning. Chill thoroughly, shake well and serve in glasses surrounded by shaved ice. This quantity fills six small glasses. Summer Salad—Six firm, ripe tomatoes, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, -4 cup diced radishes, % cup canned or fresh peas, 1 teaspoon diced onions, G cup string beans, cut into one-inch pieces, 1 cup diced cucumbers, mayonnaise. Peel tomatoes if desired and hollow out centers, using a teaspoon, being careful not to mar the outsides. Mix vegetables with salt, pepper and 1 lemon juice and refill the shell of the tomatoes, using also the pulp removed. Place dressing over the top, allowing mayonnaise to drop over the sides. Leftovers may be substituted for vegetable ingredients listed if desired. Ice Box Cookies Cup and a half of shortening, 3 eggs, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 14 cup nut meats, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 14 teaspoon salt and 3 cups flour. Cream shortening and sugar togeher. Add well-beaten eggs. Sift flour once before measuring. Mix and sift together flour, cinnamon, soda and salt, add gradually to creamed shortening. Add chopped nuts. Roll into two rolls and let stand in refrigerator over night. In morning slice into thin cookies and bake on greased baking sheet. Recipe for Ham Salad Two cups diced cold ham, 1 tablespoon chopped onion, 1 tablespoon chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped pickle, 2 hard cooked eggs, chopped. Mix all the ingredients together and chill for hour or more in French dressing. Serve garnished with lettuce and strips of pickles, and mayonnaise dressing. To Re-move Fruit Stains To remove fruit stains, pour boiling water over stained surface, having it fall from a distance of three feet. This is a much better way than dipping the stain in and out of water. _____
