Mannalades Are Good Substitutes for Jellies During Winter Season

BY DOROTHY ALDEN Along about January the jelly glasses begin to empty, and before you know it, there is a whole row of them yawning on the shelf. It is easy to fill them again, though, even in winter time, for there are a number of delicious marmalades which can be made a few glasses at a time from the fruit available in the winter season. Here are a few of them: Amber Marmalade 1 urapcfruit I orange 1 lemon 3*i quarts water 5 pounds sugar Wash and wipe the fruit, cut in paper thin slices, using a very sharp knife. Add the water, and let stand overnight. Cook until the peel is tender and let stand overnight again. Add the sugar, and cook until the syrup thickens slightly on a cold dish. Pour into clean jars and seal. Grapefruit Marmalade 1 pound peeled jrapefruit I quart water a-i pound sugar *s pound grapefruit peel Wash the fruit and remove the peel in uniform sections. Choose 14 pound of peel that is free from blemishes and cut into thin slices. Cover with water, and boil for ten minutes. Drain, cover with boiling water again, and repeat this process four or five times to remove the bitter flavor. Weigh the pulp and slice It. Cover with the water and boil until very tender.

Cans Made Attractive To make cleanser cans more attractive, choose colored oilcloth in keeping with the co’or scheme of your kitchen or bathrocm. Cut strips to fit around the can, hem it, and fasten with three snappers, so it easily can be removed and placed on another can when one is emptied. Flowers and other designs may be cut out and pasted on for decorations, as desired. These are not only attractive for home use, but they make useful little gifts. Commeal Clears Hands When the hands become begrimed with coal dirt, as they often do this time of year, one of the best methods of removing it and one which will leave the hands soft and white as well as clean, is s he following: Soap the hands well with toilet soap, then pour a small quantity of cormneal into one of the palms, wash the hands well with the cornmeal mixed with the soap. Coffee grounds are also cleansing and whitening used in this way. Have Directory Handy It is a good plan to keep an extra telephone directory in year car, if one is available, then when you are out calling you are never at a loss of an address. Tape Helps Baby Walk If the baby is learning to walk place pieces of ahesive tape on the soles of his shoes. It will save him many a nasty tumble. - - ■ - Jellies Help Desserts For garnishing whipped cream desserts, use bright colored jellies In place of the more expensive cherries.

Crowd Contact Big Factor in Catching Cold Do you want to go about this winter with your nose buried in a handkerchief? Unless you are extremely careful not to catch cold, the chances are that the above destiny will be yours. According to recent statistics, one person in every ten is a victim at any one time. One reason why colds are so hard to avoid is that they are transmitted readily from person to another, by sneezing, coughing, and even by shaking hands. So keep away from crowds if you can, and avoid people whom you know to be afflicted. Get as much fresh air as you can, plenty of exercise, be normally careful of your diet, and keep clean inside and out. Take a daily warm bath followed by a cool shower and a rubdown Scrub your hands with warm water and soap many times daily, especially before you touch food. Common sense, then, a reasonable amount of care, and plenty of hot water, should help you keep well and happy throughout the winter. Put Bulbs in Moss To make bulb bowls most attractive, plant bulbs in moss instead of water and pebbles. Moss is obtainable at seed stores and florists. Plant the blubs in wet moss as you would in soil or water. Leave them in the dark until they show some green, then bringing to the light and scatter thickly with timothy seed over the moss. Keep the moss very wet, and you soon will have fine blooms, and the green from the grass will make the home very attractive. Eraser Cleans Stoves A felt eraser is very good to use for cleaning the top of the kitchen stove. If grease gets on the stove, it should be rubbed off while hot. The eraser works better than a cloth and keeps the hands from getting soiled. Safety Pins Handy It is very convenient to have in your work basket safety pins of varying sizes to use as bodkins when running tape or elastic into casings. Pin the safety pin into the end of the tape or elastic, so it will not slip.

Good Lights Are Needed for Kitchen Has the psychological effect of good lighting ever been called to your attention? Think, for a moment, of your neigborhood stores. When you do your shopping these dark afternoons, do you do it in the poorly lighted store or in the one that has plenty of brightly glowing electric bulbs, if you have any choice. It is safe to say that you enter the murkily lighted store only as a last resort. Improper, insufficient lighting, is worse than none at all. Yet there are many people who are repelled by improper lighting in stores who do not seem to notice it in their own homes. Much might be said concerning lighting all over the home, but I am going to confine myself to the kitchen for the time being. As we have heard so many times the kitchen is the workshop of the home. In it the housewife spends many of her waking hours, and a safe place in which to work. A great deal has been said about color in the kitchen, but what about light? Surely that is doubly important these dark, winter days. A welllighted kitchen is conducive to better foods and happier homemakers. The first remedy I should like to suggest for kitchen lighting is a lamp of a wattage which really is great enough to light the kitchen. I shall not suggest the size, for it may be dependent upon the size of the kitchen to be lighted, but I suggest that you again take a look at your favorite store by lamplight, and then view your own kitchen, lighted, from the outside. Does the glow from its windows invite you to enter, or does all within look uninviting and murky? It may be that you have sufficient wattage in your kitchen lights but you have allowed them to become old and dim through long use This is such an easy thing to let happen. We screw in a bulb and there it stays until it burns otu. Go over your lights and see if you are getting all out of them you should get. Frequent dustings of the globes is a factor, too. Most kitchens have a central light, but too few of them have auxiliary lights, which are so necessary over the sink for instance. If you have but a central light in your kitchen, you know yourself how you are always in your own light when you work at the sink. In the case of a house already wired, of course, the only practical thing to do about this is to place a double socket in the central fixture, and run an extension cord with attached light to a position over the sink.
