The art of making good bread can only be attained by patient care and watchfulness. It is not necessarily a difficult task ; yet I will venture to say that there are a large proportion of young American housekeepers who can make a good cake and prepare a delicious dessert, that cannot make a good loaf of bread. Bread making should be one of the first lessons taught. What is more conducive to conjugal quarrels than heavy, sour bread? No article of food is as essential as good bread. With good bread in the house no one need ever go hungry. No meal, no matter how much is prepared for it, is complete without it. Good wheat flour is the basis of good bread. The best flour is not of a pure white color, but has a creamy, yellowish white tinge. Never buy flour that looks blue white. If it feels clammy or forms in lumps it is not of the best. Good flour holds together in a mass and adheres to the hand ; and when squeezed retains the imprint of the fingers, and even the lines of the skin, longer than poor flour when made into dough. If good it will be elastic and take up a large quantity of water, and stay in shape longer. Poor flour will flatten and spread. Never use flour without sifting. Keep it in a dry, cool place and not a great quantity of any kind on hand, as it is very apt to become musty. There are two ways of making bread by fermentation, and bread made without fermentation. By fermentation we mean the setting free of carbonic gas, which spreads rapidly through the whole mass of dough, and causes it to rise by the rapid multiplication of new air cells upon those already formed. Yeast causes the process of fermentation. The cells in the yeast plant are very small and when the temperature is such as to cause them to grow rapidly, and coming in contact with any substance like dough, they increase so rapidly that the whole mixture is filled with them. Sour milk and soda cause the same process to take place. Baking powders cause the dough to rise quickly. The importance of having good yeast is readily seen . What is yeast ? Yeast is a plant or germ of the lowest order of vegetable growth. It contains numberless minute oval cells ; each cell contains a sap. They multiply by millions very rapidly. These are propagated in anything where they find congenial COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. tood. Grape juice in two hours' standing in a warm place will give off a froth of yeast cells. Bread made with yeast is much more porous, lighter, and pleasanter to the taste, and much more easily digested. Good bread should be of a light spongy texture, and to get this we al- low the bread, under the influence of the yeast, to expand as much as possible without becoming sour. Unfermented bread is made without yeast. The principle is the same, being the liberation of gas. The usual method is by some gas generating compound, as the union of soda and sour milk. When chemicals used are in such a proportion that they are neutralized and leave only Eochelle salt, this bread is harmless but not so palatable and digestable as yeast bread. The three essential elements of good bread are good yeast, the best flour and an even temperature. There are three kinds of yeast, any of them are good ; dry, compressed and liquid. Compressed yeast is only good when it can be obtained fresh. Potato yeast is the best, as bread made from it does not dry up so quickly and is sweeter and more nutritious. First set your sponge. This is made from warm water or milk, yeast and flour. If you do not use potato yeast, use the water in which the potatoes were cooked at dinner time, or add a few potatoes mashed and run through a sieve. In winter make the water or milk quite warm. In summer have it lukewarm. Do not sponge too early in the evening, as the sponge is apt to stand too long before it is mixed and kneaded. If compressed yeast is used (this is one of the most rapid forms of fermentation), sponge before breakfast. Use about one cup of liquid yeast to one quart of wetting. If compressed yeast is used, use one-half a cake to the same quantity. If milk is used, scald to prevent its souring. In winter warm the flour and all dishes used. Keep the temperature even ; about 75 degrees should be kept up during the entire process. Mix as soon as the sponge has risen to the proper point. You can tell this by its light, puffy appearance, the middle standing higher than the sides. If it looks fallen in the middle, it has stood too long. Knead well, and thoroughly for at least twenty minutes. This is very important. Knead until the mass of dough feels light, spongy and elastic under the hand. To knead the bread well requires strength and patience. A little sugar is necessary to bread, and if the bread is made of water, a little shortening of some kind. A word about the baking. This is one of the important parts of the whole process. The excellence of the bread is greatly dependent upon the perfection of the cells produced by the action of heat upon carbonic acid gas. The oven should be hot when the bread is put in. The heat should be of sufficient strength to last through the time of baking (which is always about one hour for an ordinary loaf of b COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. bread), without replenishing. It should increase at first, then diminish slowly toward the last. If the oven is too hot a hard brown crust will form and make the inside heavy. Do not remove before it is done or the mass will be heavy and raw inside. The dough should rise after fifteen minutes and brown slightly. Remove the loaves from the pans at once, as soon as the time is up, and place them where the air can circulate around freely. Turn the loaves out on a clean tea towel. Do not put away until cold, and then in a stone jar or a tin box. Keep the jar well covered to prevent the bread from drying. Potato Yeast Have three quarts of water boiling rapidly. Pare three raw potatoes, and let them soak awhile in cold water. Mix one- fourth of a cup of flour with one-fourth of a cup of sugar and one tablespoon of salt. Grate the potatoes, and add them to the flour, sugar and salt. Pour the boiling water on them. Pour part of it on the grater. Add water enough to make the yeast the consistency of thin starch. If this does not thicken cook awhile. Strain and cool. When luke- warm add one cup of yeast. Put in a warm place until the top is covered with bubbles. Beat it well. Cover tighly, and keep in a cool place. Add a little ginger ; it improves it, and helps to keep the yeast. Bread Sponge. Take three potatoes, boiled, and mashed while hot, and dissolved in one quart of warm water, or one quart of potato water. Into this stir three cups of flour, and six tablespoons of good yeast. Beat to a smooth batter. Set over night. In the morning add a tablespoon of white sugar, a large tablespoon of white lard or butter. Knead well for twenty minutes, and set to rise. Knead down once more, and when light mold into loaves, and let it rise again very light. In place of liquid yeast use one-half a cake of compressed yeast or dry yeast. Hop Yeast. Steep half |a cup of loose hops in one quart of boiling water five minutes. Mix one cup of flour, one-fourth of a cup of sugar, and one tablespoon of salt. Strain the hops and pour the liquor boiling on the flour. Boil a minute. Add a cup of yeast when cool, and put in a warm place to ferment. c May— Where shall I hang the mistletoe hough this year?

Put in a bowl, and add one tablespoon of butter, on tablespoon of sugar, one teaspoonful of salt. "When lukewarm add one-half a cup of liquid yeast or a small half a cake of compressed yeast, and six cups of flour. Let it rise. When light knead until very smooth and elastic. Let it rise again, and when light mold into loaves. When light bake in a steady oven an hour. The time of course depends on the size of the loaves. Rye Bread. Pour one pint of scalded milk on one tablespoonful each of butter and sugar, and one teaspoonfulof salt ; when lukewarm add half a cup of yeast. Stir in three cups of rye flour or rye meal. Beat well, let it rise over night ; in the morning add two cups of flour, and knead half a hour. Let it rise again, and mold into loaves and put to rise again ; let it rise the last time very light. Raised Brown Bread. Put one pint of cornmeal in a bowl and scald it with boiling water enough to wet it. Let it stand awhile, then add cold water enough to make a soft batter. Now add half a cup of yeast, one-half a cup of molasses, one-half a teaspoon of salt, and one saltspoon of soda, one pint of rye meal. Beat thoroughly and let the mixture rise over night ; in the morning stir it down and put it in a well greased tin ; let it rise again. Bake in a slow oven two hours. Steamed Brown Bread. Oue egg, one cup of molasses, four cups of sour milk, one table- spoon of shortning, two teaspocnfuls of soda. Beat well together and add two cups of flour, and four cups of cornmeal ; steam four hours, and bake fifteen minutes in a quick oven. Serve hot with baked beans. Graham Bread. Take one pint of good potato sponge, add one pint lukewarm water, one cup of brown sugar, teaspoon of salt ; add Graham flour enough to make a stiff batter ; put in baking tins and let the mixture rise again. Bake in aslow oven, and when done wrap in a towel and let it steam. Eastern Brown Bread. One cup of white cornmeal, one cup of rye flour, one cup of Graham flour, one teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of soda, one-half cup of molasses, one pint of sour milk. Steam three hours. d Caswell's Pectoral Balsam is a periect cougn cure. COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. Quick Corn Bread. One pint of cornmeal, one pint of buttermilk, one egg, one teaspoon soda, one of salt ; beat all together and bake in a dripping pan. A tablespoon of sugar improves it. Bean Bread. In the place of potatoes in bread reduce a pint of beans by boiling to a pulp. Extract the moisture and use the pulp in the sponge. Par- snips and sweet potatoes may be used in the same way. Salt Rising Bread. Take one pint of boiling water and a teaspoon of salt, when luke- warm stir in flour enough to make rather a stiff batter. Put it where it will be very warm overnight, in the morning set it in a kettle of very warm water, stir frequently, add half a teaspoon of soda dissolved in some warm water, stir well and leave to rise ; when the dish is nearly full put a quantity of flour in the bread pan, put in a quart of water, quite warm, stir in some of the flour and then the rising batter, cover this with flour an inch thick and put in a warm place ; when light make into loaves and put to rise again. Bake in a well heated oven nearly an hour. Vienna Bread. Take three pints of milk and water, teaspoon of salt, one cup of compressed yeast, two quarts of flour. Place the flour in a bread bowl, and put in the milk, water and salt. Make a thin batter. Add the yeast dissolved in a little lukewarm water. Beat well and cover the bowl and let it stand for three-quarters of an hour. At the end of that time mix in the rest of the flour. Let the dough stand for three hours until it is light and elastic. Cut into small pieces. Flatten these into squares, fold their corners to the center, pinch them down to hold them. Let them stand for ten minutes, turn them over again and let them stand a while longer. Put them in a hot oven. When they have risen, brush them with a sponge wet with milk, return to oven and finish baking. Squash Bread. One cup of squash stewed and sifted, one-half cup of sugar, two cups of scalded milk, teaspoon of salt, tablespoonful of butter, one-half cup of yeast or one-half cake of dry yeast. Mix squash, sugar and salt, add butter melted in hot milk, and when cool add yeast. Knead and let it rise very light. Mold into loaves and let it rise again. e JB^-Gentlemen will find Chap-O-Lene very beneficial applied immediately jr bha\ ' after & having. 10 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. BREAKFAST AND TEA CAKES. [jJg\ISCUIT, muffins, griddle cakes, etc, are made with either sour or [gm sweet milk. Soda must be used with something containing an acid, and is neutralized with sour milk. Soda is used in the proportion of one even teaspoon to a pint of thick sour milk, or butter- milk. Always pulverize your soda on the board with a knife before measuring, and sift into the flour. Some dissolve it in the milk, but in doing this some of the gas escapes in the effervescence. When sweet milk is used, use either soda and cream of tartar or baking powder. Use one level teaspoonful of soda to two of cream of tartar, and one quart of flour. It requires a little more than twice as much cream of tartar to neutralize the soda. Use baking powder in the proportion of three rounding teaspoon- fuls to one quart of flour. Always sift it thoroughly in the flour, use only the best cream of tartar. The pure article can be obtained best at a drug store. Soda biscuit must be made as quickly as possible. Baking powder biscuit must be mixed very soft, and handled as little as is necessary to get them in shape to cut out. Biscuit must be put in a hot oven, then cool the oven off gradually after they have risen until done a light brown. Molasses gives another acid, and is used with soda alone. In making gems or muffins have your pans hot before pouring in the mixture. Waffles irons should be put on to heat when you com- mence to make your waffles. Grease on both sides with a cloth tied to the end of stick and used especially for this purpose. Lard or beef drippings are the best for greasing the irons. They require a longer time to bake than griddle cakes. Always sift your flour before meas- uring. In making rolls and raised biscuits, mold and set to rise two hours before baking. Sour Cream Biscuit. One quart of sifted flour, one even teaspoonful of salt, one even teaspoonful of soda, measured after it is pulverized, one pint of sour cream. If sweet cream is used, use with the soda two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar. Sift soda and cream of tartar in the flour. Mix with the hands as little as possible. f COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. n Sour Milk Biscuit. One quart of flour, one pint of sour milk, one teaspoon soda, sifted in the flour, one large tablespoon of butter, half a teaspoon of salt. Soda Biscuit. One quart flour, one teaspoon soda, two of cream of tartar, one of salt, one tablespoon of sugar ; rub in a large tablespoon of lard or but- ter, wet with one pint of sweet milk. You can use instead of soda and cream of tartar three teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Leave out the sugar and by using more shortening, wet with the same quantity of water. Baking Powder Biscuit. One quart of flour, three heaping teaspoons of baking powder, a little salt, one pint of milk. The secret of success with these biscuit is mixing them very soft and baking in a quick, hot oven.

Pop Overs. Two teacups of sweet milk, two teacups of sifted flour, butter size of a walnut, two eggs, one tablespoon of sugar, a little salt. Bake in hot gem pans and eat while hot. They are nice served with maple syrup or raspberry jam. Corn Mush. Take three pints of water, salt and let come to a boil; stir in meal, letting it sift througir the fingers until it is as thick as can be stirred with the hand. Let it stand on top of stove in pan of water, and cook slowly for an hour. To fry for breakfast add flour to the above mixture. Slice in thin slices, frying in hot lard, or dip in beaten eggs and then in cracker crumbs and fry in hot lard. Serve with maple syrup. Toast. Use bread two days old. Brown over quick fire. First warm each side of the bread, then put the first side to the fire and let it remain until it is a rich brown, then turn the other side to the fire. This extracts the moisture and makes the bread very digestable. Cut the slices uniform, about half an inch thick. Butter as soon as it is re- moved from the fire. j "There i« a book with the title: 'How to Be H«ppy Though MarnVd.' Doesn't fill th^ bill for <>id maids.

Eggs should be placed in the ice chest to cool so as to beat well. Always use the best butter for cake, as heat developes all its bad qualities. Have your sugar fine. First cream your butter and sugar, then add eggs beaten very light, then milk, and lastly Hour and flavoring. Always sift the flour before measuring. If baking powder is used sift in the flour previously measured. If cream of tartar and soda are used, dissolve soda in the milk and sift cream tartar in the flour. Remember two things, sour milk makes light spongy cake, and soda should always be used with it. Sweet milk makes a firmer cake, and baking powder or cream tartar and soda should be used. Any light cake is improved by beating the whites to a stiff froth, and the yolks very light. The whites are stirred in the flour the last thing. In sponge cake the eggs must always be beaten separately and the flour sifted very light. Do not stir your mixture, but beat thoroughly, bringing the batter up from the bottom of the dish at each stroke. Use an earthen bowl in preference to tin. Use the same cup always for measuring. Those little tin ones with the halves and fourths marked are very handy. In fruit cake always seed your raisins by pouring boiling water on them. Cut your citron or candied fruit into small pieces. Always wash currants thoroughly and dry in a sieve. Brown your flour. Add fruit last thing well floured. The baking of the cake is of as much importance as the mixing. Let your oven be hot when you put your cake in, then keep it at an even temperature. Do not shake oven or open too often, as an unequal temperature will cause it to fall. Layer cakes require a brisk fire ; large cakes, a slow steady fire. In baking fruit cakes it is a good plan to put two or three thicknesses of well greased writing paper on the bottom of your pan. Molasses in dark cakes burns very quickly . To test your cake to see if it is done use a splinter from a new broom, or a steel knitting needle. If nothing adheres to them, or if the cake, as we say, has stopped " singing," it is done. Grease tins always with lard or cottosuet. If almonds are used blanch by pour- 18 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO.

CANDY. fN MAKING candy cook over a slow fire. Molasses candy and caramels scorch very quickly. Try by dropping a little in cold water. If it becomes brittle and snaps the candy is hard enough, or test by lifting the spoon, and if the mixture "hairs" or ropes from it, this is a good test that the candy is ready to be removed from the fire. Butter should be put in when the candy is nearly done, and all flavoring should be added just after removing from the fire. A little vinegar or cream of tartar will keep candy from graining. Baker's chocolate should never be allowed to boil, but melted by placing in a pan of hot water on the back of the stove. Never add any water to it. Cream Candy. Two cups of white sugar, one-half cup of water. Flavor with vanilla while pulling. Tablespoonful of vinegar. Cook until brittle when dropped in cold water. Cool and pull. Cut in small pieces with the shears. Cream and Chocolate Candy. Two cups of granulated sugar, one-half cup of water, one table- spoon of vinegar, one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Flavor with vanilla. Take one-third of the cream and flavor with two tablespoons of grated chocolate. Pour into a mold in layers ; dark in center. Cut when partly cold into small cubes. Butter Scotch. Two cups of suger, three-quarters of a cup of vinegar, one-half cup of butter. Cook until brittle when dropped in water. Pour in buttered pans, and mark when nearly cold in small squares. Chocolate Caramels. One cup grated chocolate, two cups brown sugar, one cup of molas- ses, large piece of butter, pinch of soda when nearly done. Boil half an hour over a slow fire, as it burns very quickly. Pour in pans, and mark in squares when nearly cold. z Chap-O-Lene will positively cure chapped or rough skin. COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 37 Chocolate Drops.

Make a small ball, and press a walnut meat on both sides, or in place of a walnut use a date. Almond Macaroons. Blanch and pound half a pound of almonds to a smooth paste, add a pound of sugar and the whites of three eggs. Work all together. Roll into balls and lay on buttered paper one inch apart.

Peanuts can be used in place of hickory nut meats. Lemon Candy. Take a pound of white sugar, large cup of water. Cook half an hour. Raise spoon, and if it hairs, as we say, it is done. Squeeze in the juice of part of a lemon or a little vinegar and lemon extract. Pour in a tin and mark in squares before it is hard. Cocoanut Drops.

Mix the whites of two eggs and their bulk in water with two pounds of confectionery sugar and a tablespoon of vanilla and lemon mixed. Beat well and you have the foundation for several kinds of candy. For chocolate drops roll into marbles and dip in melted Baker's choc- olate, and set up on greased papers to dry. Roll the balls in chopped nut meats or press a walnut on each side of a small piece of the paste and smooth off the rough edges with the fingers and you have a walnut candy. Sprinkle cocoanut on a layer of the paste, roll a little and cut in squares and cocoanut squares are the result. Figs and dates can be used the same as walnuts. This is at present a very popular, cheap and convenient way of making several kinds of candy. It should be eaten at once, as it dries very quickly. Marrous Glacis. Purchase large chestnuts, selecting them with great care. Shell and cover with boiling water and let them stand fifteen minutes. Remove the brown skin and cover them with boiling wate** and let them simmer thirty minutes. Make a syrup of one cup of granulated sugar and one cup of water, add the chestnuts and let them cook slowly until they begin to look clear. Take them out and let them stand one by one on a flat sieve over night. In the morning take one pound of granulated sugar and one cup of water, stir over a fire until the sugar is dissolved, boil until the syrup hairs and then add one teaspoonful of lemon juice, take from the fire and beat, dip the chestnuts in the mix- ture and put them on greased paper to dry. lb JP^^-The cook will find something interesting on page 32.

A great many palatable dishes can be made with it in hot weather. The principla feature of making creams and ices is in the freez- ing. Itis essential to have the ice finely crushed. This can be done by first breaking it up into coarse pieces and putting it in a sack made of burlap or some coarse material and pounding with a wooden mallet or an ice cracker. Use one part salt to three parts of ice ; rock salt is the best, but coarse salt will do the work. Salt causes the ice to melt rap- idly and ice in changing to water absorbs a great deal of heat. This makes the mixture of ice and salt many degrees colder than the ice alone. The outlet to let out the water should be near the top of the eezer. Let it run out as the ice melts, do not drain it off. Put a layer of ice in the bottom of the freezer, then a layer of salt and so on until the freezer is full. Always have the ice come a few inches above the cream in the can. Let the cream or ice stand for eight or ten min- utes until chilled, turning occasionally, then rapidly and continuously until the crank begins to turn hard, and you can turn it no longer. It requires from twenty minutes to half an hour to freeze the mixture. Remove the beater and handle, pack down the cream, drain off some of the water, put in a fresh layer of ice and salt and cover with an old sack or piece of carpeting until ready to serve. Cream is better to stand an hour or so before serving. The cream can be removed from the can and packed in fancy shapes or molds ; cover the mold closely with a cloth and put the cover on carefully, then pack with fresh ice and salt in some large receptacle. Pour off the water, dip the mold quickly in hot water, turn out on a platter and serve at once. There are many ways of making cream. Cream is the essential element in the best ice cream, but good cream can be made without cream or by using part cream. Ices and sherbets are made of fruit juices, sugar and water. When made of fruit juice, water and sugar they are called ices. When the white of an egg or a little gelatine is added they are known as sherbets. When cordials or liquors are added to lemon and orange ices they are lc Child's Cough Cure is prepared especially for children. 42 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. JYTaijy Recipes fjereii} ^aH for Milk ....

When fresh fruit cannot be obtained use the juice of canned fruit ; fresh fruit is of course the best. To make ices very rich the juice alone with sugar is used. Adding the white of an egg to a sherbet gives it a creamy consist- ency ; some use a spoonful of gelatine. To make the texture of the ice fine grained boil the sugar and water together ; remove the scum and strain. Always sweeten your creams and ices very sweet , more than would be agreeable if not frozen, for the intense coldness deadens the sense of the taste. When lemons are used, grate off some of the rind, squeeze out the juice and let them stand awhile ; this gets all the flavor of the lemon. Put in the sugar so as to let that dissolve at the same time, strain and prepare the ice for freezing. Keep the machinery of the freezer well oiled. Always scald out the can of the freezer before putting it away. Dry the freezer, and drain and dry the salt, as it can be used again. A substitute for a freezer is a covered tin pail placed in a wooden bucket : pack the space around the pail with the ice and salt. Remove cover and stir the cream from the sides occasionally until stiff. Plain Ice Cream. Boil one pint of milk and one pint of cream. Beat two eggs very light, add one cup of sugar, a little salt ; mix well, and add to the boil- ing milk. Turn into the double cooker and cook awhile. When cold add two tablespoons of any kind of flavoring. Add more sugar if neces- sary, and freeze according to directions given. Quick Ice Cream. One quart of cream, cup and a half of sugar, pinch of salt, and flavor to taste. Let the sugar stand in the cream awhile so as to dissolve. Beat the whites of two eggs to a stiff froth, put in the bottom of the can and pour in the cream. To make it nice reserve a part of the cream, whip it and add to the rest when it is partly frozen. It will take at least a large tablespoon of flavoring extract. Neapolitan Ice Cream. One quart of cream, four eggs, one cup of sugar, flavoring. Scald the cream, beat the yolks, add the sugar, and beat again. Beat whites stiff, and add them to the yolks. Pour in the cream and cook awhile in a double boiler. Strain, and when cold, add flavoring and freeze. With this recipe can be made any variety of cream. id _ "The Swinburne Printing Company would like to see you when you have any use for printer's ink. 44 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO.

(OR creams and custards, beat the yolks and the whites of the [K eggs separately. Use an earthen bowl. When gelatine is used, soak in a little cold water for awhile, and dissolve in the hot mixture just after it is removed from the stove. To make a good boiled custard the rule is, the yolks of three eggs to a pint of milk, and three tablespoons of sugar, or four eggs, one cup of sugar to every quart of milk. Always heat the milk in a double cooker, then add the sugar, and lastly the eggs. This keeps it from curdling. Flavor when cool. Use eggs that are strictly fresh, as nothing will taste so quickly in a cream as a packed egg. In baking custards, bake in a very slow oven until firm in the centre. If the oven is too hot the custard will turn to whey. The only spices to be used must be cinnamon and nut- meg. The best charlotte russe is made of well whipped cream as a filling. A great many people use gelatine. Cream intended for whipping should be first chilled on the ice, and sweetened after it is partly whipped. Use an egg beater. Flavor thelast thing. If the cream does not whip well add the white of an egg and whip with it. Do not whip it too long or it will turn to butter. Gelatine is put up in two-ounce packages. When the recipe calls for half a package one ounce should be used. One pint of cream will make three times as much whipped cream. Sherry Cream. One pint of rich cream, one cup of sherry wine, one cup of lemon (grated rind and juice), one cup of sugar, whites of two eggs beaten light. Whip the cream, add eggs and wine.

Pineapple makes a delicious cream. Use pears and apricots in the same way. Tapioca Cream. Soak two tablespoons of tapioca in one-half teacup of milk. Heat a quart of milk, add half a teacup of sugar and the well beaten yolks of three eggs; add tapioca and stir all together; boil a few minutes, turn into a dish and spread on the well beaten whites of the eggs ; flavor the cream with vanilla. It is a good plan to cook the tapioca in the water it is soaked in until clear before adding it to the milk. This is nice poured over stale slices of sponge cake, and served with pieces of jelly laid around on the frosting. Blanc Mange. Take three heaping tablespoons of corn starch and dissolve in a little milk; beat three eggs, add three tablespoons of sugar, heat one quart of milk to the boiling point, stir in the starch and lastly the eggs and sugar; flavor to suit the taste, pour in a mold and serve with sweetened cream flavored with vanilla ; place teaspoonful of jelly on each plate. Apple Snow. Cook six tart apples in as little water as possible, cool and strain ; whip the whites of three eggs well, add to the apple and a half cup of sugar, flavor with lemon or vanilla or the grated rind and juice of a lemon, beat well and serve with whipped cream, or pour on a custard and serve cold. Fruit Blanc Mange. Take either raspberries or strawberries and stew and strain the juice ; sweeten to taste and to every pint of juice add two tablespoons of cornstarch ; when cooked so that it is thick pour in molds and serve with either cream and sugar or whipped cream. 11 J3^"If you are going to be married read page 32. 58* THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. fin Old Family Recipe.

COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 63 DOUGHNUTS AND CRULLERS. tN MAKING doughnuts never mix hard. Using eggs prevents them from soaking the fat. Roll about half an inch thick, cut with cookie cutter and cut out the center with some round article about one-fourth as large. An iron kettle is the best for frying. Use best leaf lard, or half lard and the drippings from beef suet. Cottosuet is an excellent substitute for either. When the fat is first used clarify with slices of raw potato. Let them fry for a few minutes and then skim them out. By cooling and straining the fat can be used a second time. Have the fat boiling hot. If hot enough it will cease to bubble. Try by dropping in a small piece of your dough ; if it rises in a few sec- onds and browns on the under side quickly it is just right. Put in the doughnuts or crullers and turn as they rise to the top of the fat. Fry a light brown ; try with a steel fork. If the fork comes out clean, drain over the kettle and place in a large pan a short distance apart. Sprinkle powdered sugar over them and keep in a stone jar ; this keeps them moist. Good Doughnuts. One cup of sugar, three tablespoons of butter, melted, or take equal parts of butter and lard, cup and a half of buttermilk, or sour milk, level teaspoon of soda, pinch of salt, one-half a teaspoon of ginger and cinnamon, one egg. Let them stand for couple of hours and rise. Raised Doughnuts. One half cup sugar, one-half cup of butter and lard mixed (make this a small half cup), one egg, one cup of sweet milk, one-half cup of yeast, or one-half a cake of compressed yeast, one-fourth teaspoon of soda, one-fourth teaspoon each of salt, ginger and cinnamon. Mix over night and keep warm. Cut out in the morning and let them rise on the board for an hour. Doughnuts. One egg, cup of sweet milk, one cup of sugar, tablespoon of melted butter, pint and a half of flour, two teaspoons of baking powder, a little cinnamon and nutmeg.

ET me say at the start, that the most to be said about eggs is, that the fresher they are the better they are and the more wholesome. Never buy eggs the freshness of which you have any doubt. If eggs appear heavy and dark, or if they gurgle when shaken, they are bad. When eggs are put in a vessel to cook, if they lie on their sides they are apt to be good ; but if they stand on end and float on top of the water, reject them at once. This is explained by the fact that the shells being very porous, on exposure to the air the water inside evaporates, eggs grow lighter, and air rushing into them to take the place of the water, decomposition takes place. Eggs are the most nutritious of food. Do not economize in the use of them. Hard boiled and fried eggs are the hardest to digest. Eggs with dark shells are the richer, as the yolks which contain the nutriment are larger. Eggs to be soft require three minutes ; hard, five minutes. In poach- ing' an egg add a little vinegar. This keeps the white of the egg from spreading. Eggs are prepared in an unlimited variety of styles. They make good dishes for breakfast and lunch and are indispensi- ble in cakes, puddings and desserts. Do not have the water quite boiling when the egg is first put in, as it is not so apt to crack as when the water is boiling. In poaching or frying an egg, first break them carefully into a saucer and slip them gently into the water or hot fat. In making omelets beat the yolks and whites separately. Boiled Eggs. Put the eggs in a pan, cover with hot water and let them stand about ten minutes where the water will keep hot, but not boil. Serve at once, as they soon harden in the shell, or put them on in cold water and when the water boils the eggs will be done. If the eggs are to be very soft, let them stand in the hot water only five minutes. Hard Boiled Eggs. Cook the eggs twenty minutes in water below the boiling point. If the yolk is cooked ten minutes it will be tough ; if cooked twenty, mealy and easily reduced to a powder. iq 66 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. A Skin of Beauty is a Joy Forever. DR. T.

Use nice sweet lard or cottosuet, and have it at boiling heat. Test by dropping in a little of the batter ; if it rises immediately and soon browns it is just right. In using fresh lard a good plan is to fry a few slices of potatoes in it before using. This clarifies it. Never use but a very little sugar in the bat- ter, as sugar will make them heavy; sprinkle it over them when ready to serve. Corn Fritters. Add two eggs well beaten, to one pint of milk ; mix well and add one can of fine corn. Add flour enough to make the batter the proper consistency and fry like griddle cakes. Serve these with chicken.

It is espe- cially adapted to people upon whom there are great demands for nervous energy. It is so easily digested and contains so little fat and is richer in phosphorus than meat. Fish, to be eatable, must be per- fectly fresh. Good fish will have a firm, hard meat. If it looks pale and limp reject it as unfit to cook. Fish should be cleaned as soon as caught. Remove the scales with a sharp knife and cut off the head and tail. Wash in cold salted water thoroughly, and wipe dry, then place on the ice until ready to cook. Do not soak fresh fish. Always cook fish very well done. )Ve have the salt water, fresh water and shell fish. Pieces of cold fish left over make very nice salads and cro- quettes. Large fish are usually boiled and the small ones fried. Oily fish, as mackerel, salmon, blue fish, should never be fried. Baked Fish. Prepare a fish as given above ; rub the fish inside and out with salt and pepper. Fill with a dressing made of bread crumbs. Sew it up and put in a hot pan with beef drippings and a piece of butter. Sprinkle over it a little flour. Bake an hour. This is especially nice for white fish. The dressing can be left out. Lay pieces of salt pork on top of the fish. Baked Trout. Clean well and wipe dry. Lay on a rack in a roasting pan. Bake slowly, basting with butter and water. When done serve with a white sauce poured around it. - Boiled Fish. To make boiled fish palatable, serve always with a rich sauce. Put the fish in hot water with a teaspoonful of salt. Cook thirty min- utes. Put the fish in a piece of strong white cotton cloth if you have no fish kettle. This keeps it in shape. Put a tablespoon of vinegar in the water in which the fish is boiled. ix JM^The place to get high class printing is at 9-11-13 Washington avenue north. 78 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO.

Bake in the oven over a little water in a roasting pan forty minutes. Serve with tomato either poured around it or in side dishes. Fried Fish. All small fish like brook trout, smelts, etc., are best fried. Salt them well after they are cleaned and dried, and roll in Indian meal or flour. Fry half a pound of salt pork a crisp brown. Take the pork from the pan and put in the fish. Fry brown on one side and turn and fry brown on the other. Flour can be used in place of Indian meal. Salt Codfish. The fish should be washed and soaked in several waters. Put on in cold water, and as soon as it comes to a boil put on the back of the stove, and keep it hot ; but do not let it boil. Pour off the water and pour on a cream sauce, or serve the fish with drawn butter. Fish Balls. Prepare codfish as above.

We have three classes— meat, poultry and game. Meat should always be cooked in such a way as to retain the largest proportion of juice. To boil fresh meat to retain the juice, put into boiling water and boil rapidly for fifteen minutes, then let it simmer slowly until done. Salt sets the juices free. When meat is boiled for stock, use cold water to extract all the juice and nutriment in the meat. Boil meat always slowly and keep covered closely. Salt meat should be put on in cold water and the water changed several' times according to the saltness o'f it. In roasting meats baste frequently, and turn ; to roast them evenly the new roasting pans with racks do the work with very little care. Have the oven very hot when the meat is first put in and after twenty minutes lower and keep a regular fire. The time of roasting depends on the size of the roast. Allow for rare meats fifteen minutes to the pound and twenty for roasts well done. Broiling is the most wholesome way of cooking steaks, chops, ham, etc. Frying in fat renders the meat not nearly so digestible. We use meat all seasons of the year, but certain kinds are better at certain seasons. Beef at all times, and is the staple meat. Pork is good in fall and winter, veal in the spring, lamb in the summer and poultry and game in the fall and winter. Good beef has a firm flesh and should be a bright red, the fat dry and crumble easily. It is much better some time after it is killed; at least a week old. Mutton and lamb are best kept for some time be- fore cooking. In veal the fat should be white and the flesh pink or flesh color. If it is white the blood has been taken out of the calf before it has been killed, and it is unfit to eat. Veal to be palatable should be highly seasoned and cooked very well done. Pork is the hardest meat to digest and should never be eaten by children or people with weak stomachs. It is very important to cook pork thoroughly and very well done. The meat of poultry is excellent for invalids, as it abounds in phosphorus. All game has a strong odor. It should be kept until tender, but no longer. All poultry and game should be 2c Rfi THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. ii n Dr.Scotfs Electric goods are world-renowned for the beneficent power of Elec- tro-Magnetism they contain, and popular because this cura- tive agent is combined in articles of every day use.

Feel of the cartilage at the end of the breast bone ; if it is soft the fowl is young and tender, if hard and not pliable it is old and tough. Roast Beef. Wipe the meat with a clean towel, dredge the sides and top with flour, pepper and salt. Place on a rack in a roasting pan and put in a very hot oven ; have the pan hot. Cover closely and allow for rare beef fifteen minutes to a pound. If the meat is roasted in a com- mon dripping pan put in a little water and baste occasionally. Un- cover your pan a few minutes before the meat is done to brown nicely. Flour and salt together forms a paste which retains the juices of the meat.

Put on a hot platter, season with pepper, salt and bits of butter. Beefsteak and Onions. Slice the onions thin. Put the steak in a hot pan, cover with the onions and season with salt and pepper. Cover tightly. When the meat has been browned on one side remove the onions, turn the steak, replace them and cook until done. Beef Loaf. Three pounds of beef chopped fine, one-half a pound of salt pork chopped fine ; mix with three well beaten eggs, six crackers rolled fine, one tablespoon of salt, teaspoon of pepper and sage and thyme to taste. Put bits of butter and a little water in a pan and bake an hour and a quarter. Baste occasionally. Slice when served. Veal can be used in the place of beef. Beef Tongue. Wash a fresh tongue ; cook in boiling salted water with a small pod of red pepper in it ; boil until it can be easily pierced with a fork ; remove the skin and set in a cool place.

Put in a kettle with as little water as will cover it. Cover closely, and as the water boils away add more. When the meat is tender the water will be all boiled away. The fat will brown it. If there is not enough add some drippings or a piece of butter. Brown over a slow fire. Make a gravy of the browned drippings. Beef alaMode. Take six pounds of good round beef. Trim off rough edges. Cut half a pound of salt pork into strips half an inch thick. Soak the beef in one cup of boiling vinegar in which has been thrown one onion chopped fine, two teaspoons of salt, half a teaspoonful of mustard, pepper, cloves and allspice. Let the meat stand in this. Pierce the beef with a sharp knife with holes an inch apart. Place in these holes the strips of pork. Put a cloth around the meat and pin it securely. Dredge with flour. Put chopped onion, carrot and half a turnip in hot fat, and fry until brown. Brown the meat in the fat and the vegetables. Put in some water and simmer four hours. Garnish with potato balls and small onions. Hamberg Steak. Take a round steak and pound it well. Fry two or three onions brown, in butter ; spread the onions on the steak and fold it ; season with salt, pepper and butter, and fry brown. A round steak can be chopped fine and mixed with the fried onions, and seasoned well. Mold into flat cakes and fry well done ." Corned Beef. Soak in cold water for an hour if very salt. Put in cold water, and if still salt change the water. Simmer slowly for several hours. This is nice with a boiled dinner. Fried Liver. Soak ten minutes in boiling water to draw out the blood; drain and remove the thin skin ; cut into pieces ; cut nice slices of bacon, fry crisp, but not brown ; take out and fry the liver in the bacon fat. This can be served with the slices of bacon and a brown gravy seasoned with onion and lemon juice.

Remove the bone and fill the cavity with highly seasoned and moist dressing; dredge with salt, pepper and flour; put strips of salt pork or bacon on top, and bake half an hour for each pound. Serve with horse-radish sauce. Breaded Veal. Take slices of veal from the leg ; remove all bone and skin ; season with salt and pepper ; roll in beaten egg, then in fine cracker or bread crumbs. Fry out several pieces of salt pork and fry the cutlets brown in the fat. Garnish with slices of lemon and parsley. Make a gravy with the fat left in the pan and two tablespoons of flour and a cup of water. Sweet-Breads. Those found in veal are the best. They are two glands lying along the back and in the breast.

Put in a large kettle and boil five hours. Pull off the skin. Put in an oven awhile. This brings out a great quantity of fat. Serve the nicest part in slices cold. Save the bits for sandwiches and omelets. POULTRY AND GAME. Baked Chicken. Clean thoroughly. Use for a filling a pint of dry, fine bread crumbs. Either grate, or pound the stale bread in a bag ; add half a cup of milk, half a cup of butter and the yolk of an egg. Season with a teaspoon of salt, half a teaspoonful of powdered sage and summer savory, a tea- spoon ef chopped parsley and pepper. Fill the chicken and sew up. Baste in the oven every ten or fifteen minutes with a little water and butter, or dredge with salt and rub a little butter over the chicken and dredge with flour. This keeps in the juices. Fried Chicken. Cut up a chicken by cutting through the loose skin between the legs and body ; bend the legs over and cut at the joint. Then cut off the wings. Make an incision in the skin near the vent and cut the mem- brane lying between the breastbone and the tail down the backbone on each side. Now you can easily remove the gizzard, liver, heart and intestines. Remove the crop carefully. Fry the back, thighs, legs and wings in hot fat or drippings from salt pork or bacon. After these have fried awhile put in the breast. Season with chopped onion, herbs, and salt and pepper. Turn when browned and done on one side and brown on the other. This is only nice for very young, tender fowls. When the chicken is older and larger steam, or cook tender, and then fry as directed. Serve with the heart and liver fried brown. Garnish with fried oysters or rice croquettes. 2g There is usually a great big difference between the property-man and the man of property.— Brooklyn Eagle. 94 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO.

Dredge the meat with flour, salt and pepper and brown in hot butter or fry out a few slices of salt pork and use the fat to brown the chicken. Strain the liquor, add the fat left in the pan, one cup of cream or milk, a large tablespoon of butter and two of flour and the last thing a well beaten egg. Put a sliced onion in the water in which the chicken was boiled. Chicken Stew. Prepare the chicken as above, and instead of frying, add a table- spoon of butter, a tablespoon of flour and season with pepper and salt. Dumplings can be added if desired. Serve with the gravy poured around the chicken and surround with the dumplings. A few toma- toes cut up and a sliced onion with parsley, cayenne and black pepper makes a palatable stew. Chicken Pie. Prepare the chicken as for a stew and season the same. Put in a deep dish with a bottom and top crust and bake. Make a rich baking powder or sour milk crust and cut incisions in the top to let out the steam. A few sliced potatoes, a sliced onion, a little chopped parsley and celery improves the pie greatly. Some use only the top crust and it is a better plan to do so. Roast Turkey. Prepare the turkey by singeing the hairs. Remove the pin feathers with a knife. Cut the head off, remove the wind pipe and crop. Re- move the internal organs and wash inside and out thoroughly. Fill with a dressing and sew up.

Brown in the butter ; add one cup of water or stock, a cup of strained tomatoes, and salt and pepper to taste. Pour this on the chicken and cook an hour longer. Serve with a bor- der of boiled rice. Use veal and lamb in the same way. Scalloped Turkey. Take bits of turkey left from dinner, butter a pan, sprinkle in a layer of crumbs, then a layer of chopped cold turkey. Season with salt and pepper ; add another layer of crumbs and so on until the pan is full. Moisten well with milk. Add bits of dressing and gravy left over. This is better than all milk. Bake brown. Cold turkey minced makes very nice croquettes and omelets. Roast Ducks. Pick, singe and dress the same as a turkey. Tie the wings and legs securely and stuff with a pint of bread crumbs, three ounces of butter, (bits of salt pork are nice) two chopped onions, teaspoon of mixed powdered herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Do not stuff very full and stitch the opening firmly together to keep the fat out. Place in a roasting pan and baste occasionally with salt and water. Turn often and bake for a full hour ; if very young thirty minutes. Some always parboil a duck or goose before roasting. It is a good plan, for it disposes of some of the surplus fat. A dressing of equal parts of mashed potatoes and onions, seasoned well, can be used if pre- ferred. Rabbits. Skin and prepare as in fricasseed chicken or chicken stew. Serve with a white sauce the same as with chicken. To make a pie of them follow the directions for chicken pie. 2i HAVE YOU ASTHMA OR BRONCHITIS ? Dr. R.

One pint of flour, half a teaspoon of soda and a teaspoon cream of tartar or heaping teaspoon of baking powder, one teaspoon of sugar, half a teaspoon of salt, one teacup of milk, one egg. Drop by spoon- fuls into the soup or turn out on the board and cut into small cakes. Do not let the soup cease boiling while the dumplings are in it ; they require about fifteen minutes. Do not let the steam escape but keep covered closely. Another recipe for dumplings is, two eggs, a cup of sweet milk and enough flour to make a stiff batter. Balls for Soup. Egg balls are made by mxing enough corn starch with two raw eggs to make into round balls. Drop in the soup and cook ten minutes. Force meat balls. — To a pound of chopped beef or veal add one egg, a lump of butter, a cup of bread or cracker crumbs ; season with salt and pepper and moisten with some of the stock in which the meat was cooked. Make into balls and fry brown in hot lard. Lobsters. When lobsters are purchased alive tie the claws together and plunge into boiling water — about a gallon— in which is a tablespoon of salt and a teacup of vinegar. Boil for thirty minutes. It will be a bright red. Drain, break off the claws and tail, remove and throw away the soft fins which lie under the legs. Shake out the coral and tomalley. Draw the body from the shell, split the lobster through the center and with a fork pick the meat from the joints. Cut under side of the tail shell, open and take out meat whole. Kemember that the stomach is found near the head and is a small sack in which is poison- ous matter and should be removed, also the dark vein found in the tail. The lobster can be seasoned and prepared in different ways. Oyster Dressing. Take one pint of finely grated or sifted bread crumbs, add three tablespoons of chopped suet or butter, a spoonful of mixed herbs, half a teaspoon each of salt, pepper and nutmeg ; add one pint of oysters cut in two pieces or finer, and lastly two well beaten eggs. If not moist enough add sweet milk. Mix smoothly and stuff turkey or chicken with it. 2n IP^-The Swinburne Printing Company would like to see you when you have any use for printer's ink. COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 103 'SE best butter or lard. Cottosuet is excellent for pie crust and very digestable. Always have your shortening fresh and solid. With the exception of mince pies, pastry should be eaten the day it is made. Make enough paste to use at once ; if any is left over keep it in the ice chest. Always mix the under crust a little stiffer than the upper with flour, this prevents the juice from soaking into the crust. Some use a beaten egg and rub it over the crust before putting in the filling. Always wet the edges of the lower crust wit i water or beaten egg, this causes the upper crust to adhere to the lower and prevents the juice from running out. Have the oven hot when the pie is first put in; this bakes the lower crust and prevents the crust from being soggy and raw. Remove from the tins as the crust is apt to become damp and taste of the tin. Always make opening in the upper crust, this lets out the steam, and especially so in meat pies of any kind. In making meringues for pies add one tablespoon of sugar to the white of one egg. Full the upper crust on a little as it shrinks in baking. Pies should be baked from half to three-quarters of an hour ; mince pies, and pumpkin or squash require a good hour and a slow fire. Good Pie Crust. Take two heaping spoonfuls of lard or butter to one cup of flour, and a pinch of salt. Cut well into the flour with a knife, and wet whh water to make a stiff dough . Mix as little as possible. This is enough for the upper and under crust of one pie. Use cottosuet in place of lard. Pie Crust. 2. To one pint of sifted flour add one even teaspoon of baking powder, a little salt, and sweet cream enough to make a stiff paste. This is enough for two pies. Pie Crust. 3. One-half cup flour before sifting, one-half cup of butter or cotto- suet, three tablespoons of water and a pinch of salt. In mixing the shortening and flour use a knife. Dredge with flour and roll your under crust stiffer with flour than the upper. 2o 104 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 105 Puff Paste. One quart of flour, three-quarters of a pound of butter or lard, yolks of two eggs, teaspoon of salt, tablespoon of powdered sugar. Mix with ice water in a cool place. Place flour on the board, sprinkle over the salt and sugar, and egg gradually, beaten up with a little ice water. Mix until it becomes a smooth dough. Apple Pie. Line a pan with crust ; pare and slice three or four good sized apples and spread evenly on the crust. Sprinkle with a small cup of sugar, bits of butter and sift a little cinnamon over it all ; dredge a little flour over the pie and about three tablespoons of water. If the apples are not very sour squeeze the juice from part of a lemon in the pie. Add upper crust and press edges firmly together. Bake in a hot oven. Dried Apple Pie. Put your apples — enough for a pie — in warm water, and soak over night. In the morning stew a few minutes ; add a little sliced lemon, and sugar to taste. Put in the pie and sprinkle a little flour over the apple, and bits of butter. Crab Apple Pie. Slice the crabs very thin, and make the same as the first recipe for apple pie. Add a little more sugar, as they are apt to be more tart than apples. These make a very rich pie, unequaled in flavor to any other kind of apple pie. Apple Shortcake. Line a tin with any kind of crust. With a soft cloth cover with melted butter ; put on the top crust and bake. Slice and 'cook your apples, sweeten and flavor with a little cinnamon or nutmeg. Separate the upper crust from the under crust, and fill with the apple. Replace the crust, and serve with sweetened cream. In place of apple fill with fresh berries or sliced peaches. Cream Pie. To one pint of milk add a pinch of salt, and a teaspoon of butter. Let the milk come to a boil ; add the yolks of three eggs well beaten with a small teacup of sugar and two even tablespoons of cornstarch. Bake your under crust ; fill with the custard and spread over the whites well beaten aud sweetened with two tablespoons of sugar. Brown in a quick oven. 2p 106 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. Cream Fie. 2. Pour a pint of cream upon upon a large cup of sugar ; let it stand awhile. Beat the whites of three eggs ; add this to the cream, and beat well. This will make two pies without upper crusts. Custard Pie. For one pie use three eggs to a pint of rich milk, a pinch of salt and a small teaspoon of butter, one-half cup of sugar. Let it bake until it custards, but does not water. Cocoanut Pie. One pint of milk, one cup of cocoanut, three eggs, one cup sugar. Use the whites for a meringue for the top. Bake with an under crust only. Instead of the dessicated cocoanut one cocoanut can be grated and used. Lemon Pie. • One lemon ; grate the rind, and squeeze out all the juice ; put all in a bowl and pour over it one cup of boiling water. When cool strain, and add the yolks of two eggs, a small piece of butter, one cup of sugar, two teaspoons of corn starch. Bake your under crust, fill with the custard ; spread on the whites beaten to a stiff froth and sweetened with two tablespoons of sugar. Eeturn to oven and brown. Lemon Pie. 2. One lemon grated rind and juice, yolks of three eggs, teaspoon of of butter, three tablespoons of milk, one teaspoon of cornstarch, one cup of sugar. Prepare as the recipe above says, leaving out the boiling water. Pie Plant Pie. Cut up pie plant in small pieces enough for one pie ; add one well beaten egg, a large cup of sugar. Mix well. Putin the crust and bake slowly about three-quarters of an hour. Squash Pie. A good cup of stewed and sifted squash, two eggs, one-half cup of sugar, butter size of an egg, one pint of sweet milk, one-half teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Beat all together, and add milk ; warm and bake in a deep tin with a rich under crust. Rice Pie. One-half cup of boiled rice, one cup of milk, one-half of sugar, two eggs, large piece of butter. Flavor with a little cinnamon, and put in a handful of raisins seeded. Bake with under crast only. 2q COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 107 Pumpkin Pie. Cut a pumpkin into thin slices, and boil until tender in as little water as possible. Stir often to prevent its scorching. Mash the pumpkin and let it stand on the back of the stove until all the water has dried away. Rub through a sieve. Add sugar enough to sweeten it well, a lump of butter, a teaspoon each of cinnamon, ginger and cloves, one nutmeg. Let it cook slowly. This will be enough for several pies and can be kept in the ice chest. For one pie take a large cup of the pumpkin, a pint of milk and one egg. (A little cream is nice.) Sweeten to taste. Bake with an under crust a good hour in a slow oven. ^ Pork Pie. Line a pan with crust, pare and slice good, sour apples, put^a layer in the bottom, seasoning with sugar and allspice. Shave very thin slices of salt pork, and put a layer on top of the apples, and pep- per. Repeat this until the pan is full. Cover with a crust, and bake two and one-half hours. Mince Meat. Boil six or eight pounds of good beef tender. Take off scum as it rises, and salt just before it is done. Put away to cool. Remove all bones and bits of gristle, chop very fine. Make the mince meat in the proportion of two bowls of chopped apples to one of meat, and one cup of suet chopped fine. To this add the grated rind and juice of a lemon, a cup of molasses, cup of brown sugar, one quart of cider, one-half pint of boiled cider, one pound of raisins chopped and seeded, one-half pound of currants, one large teaspoon each of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg, one-fourth pound of citron, teaspoon of salt, a little black pepper. A pint of cranberries cooked and put through a sieve gives a nice flavor. Cook this preparation until all the apples are cooked. It requires a good hour or longer. If not juicy enough add syrup from sweet pickles, or canned currants. This quantity, doubled and put away in a jar in a cold place, will keep all winter. For baking take out enough for a pie ; if nof moist enough add the juice of some kind of canned fruit. If none is to be had, a little hot water. If not sweet enough sprinkle on a little more sugar, bits of butter, a few whole raisins, and lastly two tablespoons of brandy. The brandy adds greatly to the flavor of the pies. In making this mince meat one must be guided by their own judgment as to sweetness and seasoning. Mince pies must be baked in a slow oven some length of time, at least an hour. Do not make too rich a crust for them, as they are rich in themselves. 2r 108 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. Platte Chlorides. The Household Disinfectant An odorless liquid.

Always allow two heaping spoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoon of corn starch or one tablespoon of flour to one pie. Put your berries in the tin lined with an under crust, and sprinkle sugar and flour over them. Use your judgment as to quantity of sugar according to their tartness or juiciness. Gooseberries and cranberries or green grapes require a large quantity of sugar. Press the two crusts together firmly to pre- vent the juice from running out. Some take a strip of clean white cloth wet and fold around the edge. When the pie is taken out strip off the cloth, and the edge is nice and brown, .not burnt. In using canned fruit use very little sugar, and a little more flour. Gooseberry Pie. Take gooseberries, either green or ripe, and stew a little until they break. Sweeten well; dredge with a very little flour, and bits of of butter. Pour in a pie tin lined with paste, and cover with an upper crust. Green currants can be used this way also. Crust for Meat Pies.

Pickles are made from almost everything in the shape of vegetables and fruit. Any kind of fruit that can be preserved is nice for sweet pickles, including the rind of water melons, and ripe cucumbers. Home-made pickles are tbe best ; for usually the best vinegar is em- ployed in making them, and good cider vinegar is very necessary to the best pickles. Never use any thing but a porcelain kettle in mak- ing them. Keep in a dry cool place. If a white mold appears on the top of the vinegar scald the vinegar over, and put in pieces of horse- radish or mustard seed. Seal sweet pickles while hot. In cooking sweet pickles cook until they can be easily pierced with a silver fork. In making a syrup for sweet pickles use three pints of best brown sugar to a quart of cider vinegar. If ground spices are used tie them up in a little bag, and throw into the hot syrup. Watch them closely and as soon as a white scum appears scald again, and if necessary add more vinegar, sugar and spices. Whole cloves and stick cinnamon are the only spices necessary. Pickled Beans. Take young butter beans and cook until tender. Put in brine made of one cup of coarse salt and two quarts of water. Let them stand a day or so. Take out and drain. Take two quarts of good cider vinegar, add a spoonful each of pepper, ginger, cloves and mace. Boil the vinegar and pour on the beans while hot. Pour off and boil the vinegar for two days in succession aud put back on the beans. Pickled Beets. Boil fine, red beets until they are tender. Put in cold water, and slip off the skin, and cut in slices or any shape. Cover with a vinegar made the same as for beans. A cup of sugar can be added. 2u 112 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO.

Cut ripe, solid cucumbers into long pieces, about three inches long. Remove all seeds. Cook in water and salt until tender. Soak in alum water over night, using a lump of alum the size of a hickory nut. This hardens them, and makes them firm. Drain well and pour over them a syrup made of three pints of sugar to a quart of vinegar. Add stick cinnamon, whole cloves and mace ; about two tablespoons of each. Scald the syrup and replace it on the pickles three mornings in succession. Then seal and put in a cool place. Be careful not to cook too soft. Use about a tablespoonful of salt to two quarts of water. Water Melon Pickles. Pare off the green rind, and cut in oblong pieces. Make and pre- pare the syrup the same as the above recipe says. Take off all of the red part of the melon. Pickle only the white rind. If a scum rises skim the syrup. Peach Pickles. Pare freestone peaches. Put in a jar and pour over them a syrup made of three pints of sugar to a quart of vinegar. Skim the syrup well, and pour on the fruit boiling hot. Repeat this for several days. Put pieces of cinnamon and cloves between the layers of peaches and stick some of the whole cloves in the fruit. Lastly scald the fruit, vinegar and spices together. Have the fruit the same color through- out. If there is not syrup enough to cover them well prepare more. Pear Pickles. Cut the fruit in halves and pare if large, if small leave whole. Pre- pare and make the same as peach pickles . Spiced Currants. Put a tablespoon each of cloves, cinnamon, mace and allspice in a bag and boil with four pounds of currants, two of sugar and one pint of vinegar. Some add a pound of raisins. Seal while hot in glass jars. Spice blackberries the same way ; do not use quite so much sugar. Leave out the spices if one prefers. 2w The place to get high class printing is at 9-11-13 Washington avenue north. The housekeeper should not fail to study page 32.

US PRESERVES AND JELLIES. fHESE are usually prepared with equal weights of sugar and fruit. Most people prefer preserves not so sweet, and use three- quarters of a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit and even less. Prepare the syrup and clarify it, then put in the fruit. Fruit like quinces, citron, melon rinds, cherries, currants, etc., harden if first put into the syrup. Cook in a little water until tender, or in a weak syrup first, then add them to the syrup. In very soft ripe fruits pour the boiling syrup on them and let them stand over night. The secret of keeping fruit is to have the covers of the cans fit securely, and keep the fruit in a dark, cool place. In jellies extract the juice first by cooking the fruit in just enough water to keep it from burning, and strain the juice through a coarse flannel or cotton bag. Hang the bag over the kettle and let it drain. The rule is usually equal measures of fruit and sugar ; sweeten less if pre- ferred. Boil juice first, skim and add the sugar and boil until it jellies when a little of it is cooled. When jelly is put away cover the top with pieces of writing paper brushed with the white of an egg. Some use a little butter to grease the papers or wet them in brandy. Citron Preserves.\ Pare off the rind and cut in thin slices two inches long. Add equal weights of sugar and fruit and boil twenty minutes. Before adding the sugar boil tr^e citron in a little water, tender; add two sliced lemons to each pound of fruit. Kemove the fruit and boil the syrup down some, put in the fruit and boil awhile and seal in cans or jars. Peach Preserves. Pare the peaches and remove most of the pits ; leave some to give the syrup a flavor. Make a syrup of three-quarters of a pound of sugar to one of fruit. Add water enough to dissolve the sugar. Skim and clarify. Add the fruit in small quantities at a time and cook eight to ten minutes. Skim out in a jar and put in more fruit. When all done fil the cans with the syrup and seal securely. A good plan is to pour off the syrup the next day and scald, and return to the can. 116 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. Pear Preserves. Pare, cut in halves, prepare and make exactly the same as peach preserves. Plum Preserves. Take plums, wash them and prick each plum and put them in a stone jar. Make a thick syrup of equal weights of sugar and fruit. Pour the syrup on the fruit, and let it>tand over night ; repeat this'for three days. Put fruit and syrup in a porcelain kettle and boil for an hour. Put in stone jars. Quince Preserves. Pare, core and quarter or slice your quinces ; boil till tender in a little water. Take out and drain. Add equal weight of "sugar to the water, replace the fruit and boil until clear. Take equal parts of quinces and quarters of nice sweet apples and preserve as for quinces. Cook the parings and cores and use the water for jelly, or add it to the sugar for the syrup of the quinces. Tomato Preserves. Take green tomatoes that are just beginning to turn ; if red a little all the better. Pare and slice. Take equal weights of sugar and fruit and cook all together until the syrup is thick. Add one or two lemons sliced for additional flavor. Cider Apple Sauce. Pare and quarter nice sweet apples, put them in boiled cider enough to cover them and boil until tender. Any kind of apples can be used. Apple Jelly. Wash and quarter large crabs ; cook in water enough to keep them from burning. Cook to a pulp, strain according to directions. Take three-quarters of a bowl of sugar to a bowl of juice. Boil the juice twenty minutes ; add the sugar and boil five minutes longer. Try it to see if it jellies. Preserved Berries. To preserve strawberries, raspberries, currants, cherries or black- berries, take a bowl of fruit and a bowl of sugar. Dissolve the sugar in a very little water and add the fruit ; cook until soft ; skim as it needs it. Cherries should be stoned, but use some of the pits for flavor. 2y "The cook will find something interesting on page 32. COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. H7 Brandy Peaches. Prepare peaches as the recipe for preserved peaches says, and just as the syrup is removed from the fire, add half a cup of brandy to a pound of fruit. Grape Jelly. Eub the fruit through a sieve ; add a cup of sugar to a cup of pulp or three-quarters as much sugar as pulp. Boil the juice twenty minutes, and add the sugar. Boil until it jellies. Quince Jelly. Use the best parts of the fruit for preserves, and cook the skins, cores and hard part of the quince for jelly. Boil in enough water to cover. Mash and drain . Add equal weight of sugar and juice. Boil until it jellies. Currant Jelly. Do not 'have the currants over-ripe. Take equal parts of red and white currants if you can get them. Pick over and remove all leaves and poor fruit. Mash them in a kettle and drain in a flannel bag for several hours. Take a bowl of sugar to a bowl of juice. Boil the juice twenty minutes. Skim thoroughly ; add the sugar and boil five minutes longer; turn into glasses and let them remain where the sun can shine on them several hours before sealing. Cover them with a paper dipped in brandy. Berry Jam. Pick over and mash the fruit ; allow a pound of sugar to a pound of fruit. Boil until the jam looks dry and glistening, and no moisture gathers. This answers for raspberries, strawberries or blackberries. Equal parts of red and black raspberries make delicious jam. Grape Jam. Stew the grapes in a little water and press the fruit through a colander, adding a little water to get all the pulp through. Add sugar and make like the jam above. This answers for plums and goose- berries. Wine Jelly. Dissolve one box of gelatine in one pint of cold water ; add four coffee cups of sugar and the juice and rind of two lemons ; a little stick cinnamon. Let the gelatine stand an hour ; add the sugar, lemon, three pints of boiling water and one pint of sherry. Strain into molds and let it stand until thick. 2z 118 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. DR.

Do not put in [) too much sugar, as it is apt to make the pudding heavy. Pud- dings are either boiled, baked or steamed. If boiled use a bag made of fine drilling with a tape run in the top, or a tin mold with a cloth tied securely over it. Always flour your bag or cloth tied over the mold. Let the water entirely cover the bag ; leave space in the bag or mold for the pudding to swell ; turn it over frequently. Boiled puddings require more time than the others. Rice, bread and fruit puddings require a slow fire, and some time in baking. Batter and corn starch puddings, a quick oven. Steaming answers all purposes and is the most convenient and wholesome. Have your water boiling and steamer hot when the pudding is first put on, and do not let the water stop boiling. Replenish if necessary from the tea kettle in which the water is hot. Do not uncover and allow the steam to escape until the time is up. If these directions are followed a light, wholesome pudding is the result, if not, a soggy, heavy one? In making custards for puddings bring your milk to a boil, and then add your sugar and salt, and lastly, the well beaten eggs. If corn starch is used, either dissolve in a littld cold milk or stir thoroughly in the sugar ; otherwise the mixture will be lumpy. Stir constantly and cook always in a double cooker ; add your flavorings after removing from the stove. Beat yolks and whites separately. To keep your custard from curdling a good plan is to add your sugar to the boiling milk and then the eggs. Apple Pudding. One egg, small half cup of butter, one cup of sugar, cup of sweet milk, level teaspoon of soda, and two of cream of tartar, or in place of sweet milk use sour milk, or butter milk, and one-half a teaspoonful of soda. Line sides and bottom of a pudding dish with quarters of apples ; pour oh the butter, and bake in a quick oven half an hour. Serve with a cream or common sauce.

Roll half an inch thick, and place in a shallow baking pan. Press down quarters of apples placed in parallel rows on top of the dough, edge down. Sprinkle sugar over the apples, and a little cinnamon. Bake twenty minutes, and serve with a common sauce. Apple Betty.

Bake half an hour. Do not let it remain in the oven too long or it will be watery. Spread with a layer of jelly and cover with a meringue made of the whites of the eggs flavored with the juice of half the lemon. Return to oven, and brown. This can be served alone or with a hard sauce. (See sauces.) Cottage Pudding. One cup of milk, two eggs, one cup of sugar, two cups of flour, three tablespoonfuls of melted butter, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder.

If brandy or wine is used, flavor after removing from the fire. If the juice or rind of a lemon or orange is used put in just before removing, as boiling with any of the grated rind is apt to make the sauce bitter.

Candied Lemon Peel. — This is made by boiling lemon-peel with sugar, then exposing it to the air until the sugar crystallizes. Bed bugs, according to a lady correspondent, have a great aversion to salt. She states that if the articles and places infested with bed bugs are washed with salt water, and the crevices in which the ver- min hide are filled with it, they will give no more trouble. Lock Jaw. — The following is well worth saving for future refer- ence: " Locked jaw from a rusty nail in the foot was entirely cured in four cases reported by Dr. Kinkle, by applying to the whole spinal column cloths saturated with chloroform, just at the approach of the spasm. It was repeated at several returns of the spasm, always in- ducing sleep and finally recovery." A young man out west was intrusted with the money to bring his father home a good family sewing machine. He carried off a neigh- bor's daughter to Chicago, married her, brought her home and said : " There, father, is the best one I could find." A pretty girl and a wild horse are liable to do much mischief ; for the one runs away with a fellow's body, and the other runs away with his heart.

Never press down a salad to get it into form. In arranging the salad toss it lightly with a fork. Do not cover a delicate salad with hard boiled eggs or boiled beets, etc. Keserve these for chicken, veal or turkey salads. Use the white leaves of the celery, and the light green leaves of the lettuce. Always tear lettuce, do not cut it. Wash it thoroughly, as hot house lettuce is very apt to be covered with little green lice. Always wash all vegetables thoroughly. Cut chicken with a knife not to fine. Shave cabbage with a sharp knife, and cut your celery into small pieces. This is better than chopping it. Rich salads like chicken, veal, salmon, lobster, and shrimp are not served after meats at dinner, but are only appropriate for lunch or tea. Vegetable salads, like lettuce, cucumber, potato, tomato or cabbage are the best after meats. Do not add the dressing until the salad is ready to be served. Salads can be garn- ished with pieces of jelly, celery heads and the heart of the lettuce. Use slices of lemon for all kind of fish salads. Asparagus, string beans and peas must all be boiled in salted water until tender before using. In mixing dressings, if hard boiled eggs are used powder them with the back of a spoon ; beat raw eggs very light, add oil, and lastly vinegar. A dressing should be ice cold before putting on the salad. When oil is used pour in a drop at a time beating well all the time. A nice way to serve fish salads is in shells in each of which is placed a leaf of lettuce. Chicken salad can be served in a salad dish or enough for one individual can be placed in a shell made of two leaves of let- tuce and served from a platter. Use the Mayonnaise or cooked dress- ing with all kinds of meat or fish salads. For green salads use a plain or French dressing. 8m 134 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. Salad Dressing. 1. Mash the yolks of two hard boiled eggs, add one teaspoon each of mustard and salt, a little cayenne pepper and a pinch of black pep- per, piece of butter size of an egg, or three tablespoons of olive oil, yolk of one raw egg, one-half cup of vinegar. A tablespoon of sugar improves it. This is excellent for any kind of a salad. French Salad Dressing. One salt spoon of salt, one-half salt spoon of pepper, three table- spoons of oil, one tablespoon of vinegar. If you like the flavor of onion, add one tablespoon of onion juice. This can be obtained by grating the onion with a coarse grater. To prepare this put the salt and pepper in a cup, add the oil slowly, and then the vinegar. This is nice for lettuce or potato salad. Simple Salad Dressing. Three eggs, one tablespoon each of sugar, oil and salt, small table- spoon of mustard, cup of milk and one of vinegar. Stir oil, sugar, salt and mustard until smooth, add eggs and vinegar and lastly milk. Put in a bowl and place in boiling water until it thickens. This is enough to use several times. Cream Salad Dressing. One-half cup of vinegar, a piece of butter the size of an egg, yolk of one egg, a teaspoon of mustard, half a teaspoon of salt, a little cay- enne pepper, two tablespoons of sugar. Cream sugar, butter, mus- tard, egg and salt together; add vinegar and put in a bowl in boiling water until it thickens like custard. Remove and add two table- spoons of thick sweet cream. This is excellent for cabbage or lettuce salads or any kind of a salad. Quick Salad Dressing. This can be made at the table.

Put in a bowl in hot water and stir until it thickens, and then set away to cool. 3n COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 135 Mayonnaise Dressing. 2. Beat the yolks of three eggs very light, add a tablespoon of sugar, tablespoon of mustard, a little cayenne pepper, teaspoon of salt. Beat all to a cream, put in a bowl set in ice water and add a pint of olive oil, dropping in gradually a few drops at a time until the mixture is thick and very hard. Thin with half a cup of vinegar and juice of half a lemon. A cup of whipped cream makes it very nice, but can be omitted without injury to the dressing. This can be doubled for a large company. Chicken Salad. 1. Free one cold boiled or roasted chicken of bones and skin. Cut the meat into little dice or long strips . Season with salt and pepper. There should be a quart. Have a pint of nice tender celery, cut into small pieces about half an inch thick. Mix with the meat and when ready to serve pour over it a Mayonnaise dressing. Garnish with slices of hard boiled eggs or dices of beets. Serve on a platter, putting enough for one individual on one of the large leaves of the lettuce. Chicken Salad. £. Cut up one chicken, using only the tender meat, add one cup of cabbage, shaved very fine with a sharp knife, and one cup of celery cut in small pieces. Pour over it a Mayonnaise dressing (see Mayon- naise dressing with butter). Serve in a salad dish garnished with the green leaves of the celery and the small leaves of the lettuce. Turkey Salad. This is especially nice in preparing for a large company. The meat takes the place of chicken and is just as nice. Make the same as chicken salad, using half cabbage and half celery. Garnish with slices of cold hard boiled eggs and the green leaves of the celery. Lettuce Salad. Wash each leaf carefully. Drain and keep in a cool place until ready to serve. Put the leaves in a salad bowl, the light ones in the center. Tear some of the larger ones and arrange around these. Pour over all a French dressing. A cream dressing can be used if de- sired. 3o Always Fry Doughnuts in COTTOSUET. Ad. on page 22. 136 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. Cucumber Salad.

Drain the cucumber and put with the lettuce in a salad bowl. Serve with a French or cream dress- ing. Cucumber can be used without the lettuce. Potato Salad. Take one quart of potatoes cut in slices while hot. Cut in thin slices one or two onions, or use two tablespoons of grated onion ; add a little chopped parsley. Pour over all any kind of dressing, enough to make it very moist. Place sprigs of parsley around the dish, and serve cold. Bits of cold fried salt pork or bacon are nice mixed with the salad. Cucumber and Tomato Salad. Place a layer of crisp lettuce in the bottom of a salad dish, a layer of sliced cucumbers prepared as the above recipe says, then a layer of sliced tomatoes. Pour either a French or Mayonnaise over the whole. Tomato Salad. Slice large tomatoes, arrange on a bed of crisp lettuce, sprinkle with a little sugar and pepper, and pour over all a cream dressing. Garnish with celery tips. Salmon Salad. Take one can of salmon, break in small pieces, add a little salt, pepper, half a cup of vinegar, throw in a few whole cloves, a little chopped onion if wished. Let this stand for two hours. Pour this off and put the salmon in a circle of lettuce leaves, and pour a Mayon- naise dressing over it. Garnish with hard boiled eggs, and slices of lemon. Fresh salmon can be used the same way. Celery can be used with the lettuce. Serve in shells lined with lettuce. Lobster Salad. Cut up the lobster like chicken, season with a French dressing. Let it stand until ready to serve. Then tear up one-third as much lettuce, mix with the lobster, and serve in a nest made of two large lettuce leaves.

SOUPS. rt0A OUPS are made from meat, fish and vegetables, with water or |S^ milk. They are classified according to material, color, quality, ^U etc. When soup is made of stock, meat is the basis. To make nutritious, healthful soups, requires study and practice. Always have materials on hand such as dried herbs, rice, okra, vermicelli, onions, carrots, whole as well as ground spices. Parsley is another necessary article. With these soups can be make from scraps of meat left from a meal. Pieces of steak, bones of roast beef or veal make a good stock. Save the water in which chickens, beef tongues or leg of mutton are cooked. The carcass of a turkey, in which are remnants of the dressing, cooked slowly makes an excellent soup. It is not necessary to buy meat expressly for the purpose of making soup stock. By stock we mean a liquid containing the juice and soluble parts of meat and bone, which has been extracted by slow cooking. Stock made from meat without bone or gristle will not jelly when cold. Stock can be made from the cheapest inferior parts of meat, whieh yield the most nutriment when cooked. When buying meat for stock select a piece from the shin or lower part of the round of beef or veal. This has a bone with marrow, and a large proportion of gelatine. Stock made from roasted or browned meats is the most nutritious. A bay leaf adds greatly to the flavor of soup. Always put your meat or soup bone into cold water without salt, and let it cook slowly for several hours. Cover closely ; thus keep the flavor of the meat from escap- ing with the steam, and also prevents it from being reduced too quickly by evaporation. Skim the stock several times, and when the meat is reduced to rags, strain, and put away in an earthen jar. When cold remove the grease from the top. This is the basis of several kinds of soups, and will keep in a cool place for some time. Soups can be served thin, or thickened with flour, corn starch and different vegetables. Do not put away stock with vegetables in it, as they are apt to sour it. For coloring soups brown, use caramel, browned flour and onions browned in butter. Caramel can be made by boiling one cup of sugar and two teaspoons of water in a sauce pan until brown ; then add half a cup of water and boil for a few minutes. Serve soups with 30 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. . 141 bread browned in the oven, and cut in small dice, or squares of bread thrown into boiling fat, and browned. Serve with oyster soup crack- ers crisped in a hot oven. Clear stock by removing the fat, and using the white of an egg for every quart of stock. Do not add the egg when the stock is hot, but set it on the fire and stir all the time, until it comes to a boil. A scum will form which when taken off leaves the liquid clear and sparkling. Always strain thoroughly. Cook your vegetables that require long boiling, as rice, sago, macaroni, tapioca, etc., separately, then add the stock. Serve with clear soups slices of lemon, yolks of hard boiled eggs, force meat balls, or a spoonful of grated Parmesau cheese on each plate. The nicest of clear soups is the French, called Consomme. For five pounds of clear meat and bone use about six quarts of water. Add a pinch of sugar to all soups. Thick soups require more seasoning than thin ones. Never use any kind of meat that is the least bit tainted, as the stock witl taste of it. Cayenne pepper, Worces- tershire, Halford or Chili sauces and catsup are used by some, but must be used cautiously. Wine is also used by some for the extra flavor. If soup is salted too much modify by adding a little sugar and a tablespoon of vinegar. Asparagus Sauce. Two bundles of asparagus, one quart of stock, one pint of milk, one cup of cream, three tablespoons of butter, three of flour, one onion, salt and pepper to taste. Cut off the tops and cook awhile in salted water ; cook the remainder until done. Cut the onion in small pieces, and fry in the butter, add flour and then add the stock and asparagus. Boil twenty minutes, strain and add the milk and cream. Bouillon. Melt one tablespoonful of butter in a sauce pan, add one-half an onion sliced very thin. Cook until the onion is browned, then add one and one-half pounds of finely chopped beef (that from the round being best), one and one-half pints of cold water. Cover the pan and let all simmer gently for two hours. Strain, and return to the kettle, and boil Beat the white of an egg with one-half cup of water, add this to the bouillon, and boil four minutes, strain, and if it is too light add caramel, but have it very clear. 3t JJH^We guarantee our work.

COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 149 VEGETABLES. fjjg) Y VEGETABLES we mean such plants as are used for food, and [gp comprise all parts of the plant from the root to the leaves- The fresher the vegetables are the better. They should be washed and cleaned thoroughly in cold water, and cooked in boiling water. Always salt the water in the proportion of a teaspoonful of salt to a quart of water. The time of cooking varies with the age of the vegetable. All should be cooked until tender, and no longer. String beans, turnips, parsnips, carrots and cauliflower require from one to two hours. Potatoes boiled require thirty minutes ; fcbaked forty-five. Onions are best put in warm salt water for awhile before cooking ; this removes the strong odor. In cooking greens add salt and a pinch of soda to preserve the color. Add a pinch of soda always to any kind of beans. This removes the strong, beany taste. Old potatoes should be soaked in cold water some time before cooking. In cooking potatoes remove and drain as soon as done. Uncover a little to let the steam out, and place on the back of the stove to dry out. This makes them mealy. »The secret of mealy potatoes is to cook them rapidly and re- move and drain as soon as done. Try with a fork, and if soft, drain. Some prick baked potatoes as soon as done or squeeze a little. This lets out the steam and keeps them from being watery. Raw potatoes that are to be fried should be sliced thin, and soaked in cold water. This draws out the starch and makes them crisp instead of mealy. Asparagus. Wash and clean thoroughly. Use only the tender part of the stalk. Cut off any that is white. Boil in salted water. Boil the stalk first, and then throw in the tips. When tender season with a little cream, lump of butter and pepper to taste. The asparagus can be cooked whole and served with melted butter. 4b 150 COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. Asparagus on Toast. Prepare as above, only leave the stalks whole. "When tender put in a lump of butter, pepper and a little thickening if one likes it, and pour it over slices of toasted bread. The water must be boiled down so as to leave just enough for the gravy. Use a teaspoon of corn starch for thickening. String Beans. String by cutting off the ends of the pods. Cut in inch pieces or break. Boil from one to two hours until perfectly tender. Beans re- quire longer time than most vegetables. Throw in a pinch of soda just before draining. Add a cup of cream or part milk, a piece of but- ter, salt and pepper to taste. Shelled beans should be prepared with the same kind of dressing, only they do not require as great a length of time to cook tender. Baked Beans. Pick over and wash one quart of beans, soak in plenty of water over night. In the morning pour off the water ; cover with hot water and let them come to a boil. Pour off this water and add more. Boil until they begin to split. Put the beans in an earthen jar or crock always saved for this purpose. Throw in a pinch of soda. Put in the bottom one pound of good fat and lean salt pork. Mix a little mustard with two tablespoons of molasses, and a little water. Have water to cover the beans. Bake all day. Watch them and if they need any more seasoning and water add it. Some add a little chopped onion for additional flavor or put two slices of an onion on top of beans. Boiled Dinner. Use a nice piece of corn beef, put on in warm water and when it comes to a boil pour off the water and add enough more to cover well. Skim off the scum as it rises. Before the vegetables are put in remove the meat and put in vegetables as follows : Turnips cut in slices, cook awhile and then add cabbage cut in quarters, pototoes whole and a few carrots or parsnips. Beets should be boiled in some of the liquor separately. After removing the vegetables put in the meat for a few minutes to heat through. Serve cabbage and beets in separate dishes. Place turnips and carrots or parsnips on the platter with the meat. Season with butter, pepper and vinegar to suit the individual taste. Prepare the beets as the recipe below says. 4c J^^-Wedding Invitations, Announcements, At Home, etc. High class work produced by The Swinburne Printing Company, 9-11-13 Washington avenue north. l^fc.Ch.ap-0-Lene for th« hands. COMMON SENSE COOK BOOK. 151 Beets. Cook whole. Do not break off fibers or roots, or peel, as the juices escape. Cook from one to five hours. When tender drop in cold water and slip off the skins. Slice in a dish, add pieces of butter, pep- per and salt ; pour over a little vinegar and let them stand in a hot oven a few minutes. Serve hot. Place some of the beets in vinegar and a few pieces of horse radish on top and let stand for a day or so for pickles. Beet Greens. Wash the young beets and tips very thoroughly. Cook in salted water with a piece of salt pork. Take out and drain and dress with butter, pepper and vinegar. Corn Oysters. One cup of flour, half a cup of butter, three tablespoons of milk, teaspoon of salt, pepper, one pint of grated corn. Pour corn on the flour, add the rest and fry in the frying pan in which is hot fat to the depth of two inches. Put in batter by spoonfuls. Boiled Corn. Clean off all the silk carefully and cut the heads off the cob. Boil in salt water three-quarters of an hour, or cut the corn (after it is cleaned) with a sharp knife from the cob. Stew with a little water. When tender add milk, butter, pepper and salt to taste. Beaten eggs added makes a rich dish. Cauliflower . Take off the green leaves and stalk, put on to cook in boiling water. Boil for an hour or longer until tender ; pour off water and add a cream sauce. It is a good plan to let it soak in salt water before cooking. Succotash. Take equal quantities of shelled beans and corn cut from the cob. Cook each separately until tender. Mix together and season with cream and milk, a large piece of butter, pepper and salt. A little sugar if one likes it. Succotash can be made from canned corn and dry beans the same way. The beans must be soaked over night and boiled until tender before adding them to the corn. Season as above. Cabbage. Slice with a sharp knife very fine, put in a stew pan and add a lit- tle water. Cover closely and cook until tender. Add milk, butter, pepper and salt to taste, or a cream sauce. 4d 152 THE WEINHOLD DRUG CO. Fried Cabbage. Slice cabbage fine, place in a pan in which are some pieces of bacon or salt pork, previously fried a little. Add a little water, cover closely and cook down until brown. Some add a little vinegar just before re- moving from the stove. Cabbage is considered indigestable, and some boil it with a small piece of red pepper and change the water once or twice. It is more wholesome served as a salad. Celery with Cream Sauce. Wash and scrape celery, cut in pieces two inches long. Boil half an hour, drain off water and add a cream sauce. (See sauces.) Egg Plant. Cut the plant in slices, pare these and cover with boiling water in which has been put a teaspoonful of salt ; let this stand an hour. Drain, and pepper the slices and dip in beaten egg and bread crumbs. Fry the piec es in boiling fat. Or the slices can be fried in just enough pork fat or >acon to brown them. Macaroni and Cheese. Boil about four ounces of macaroni, broken up in small pieces in a little salted water about fifteen minutes. Grate a quantity of cheese. Put in an earthen dish a layer of macaroni, a layer of grated cheese, bits of butter, pepper and salt, another layer of macaroni, then cheese until the dish is full. Pour over it all enough milk and cream to come to the top. Bake slowly three-quarters of an hour. Macaroni with Tomato. Boil in a little salted water a little macaroni (about a cupful) a few minutes, pour over it a quart of canned tomatoes. Season with pieces of butter, salt, pepper, a little minced onion and sprinkle sifted bread crumbs on top. Bake in hot oven three-quarters of an hour. Italian Macaroni. Take a piece of beef, about two pounds, half a pound of salt pork, two chopped onions. Let all cook for awhile ; add a quart of toma- toes, pepper and salt, and cook all for three hours. Boil a sufficient quantity of macaroni fifteen minutes, put a layer in a dish, cover with some of the mixture above, a layer of grated cheese and so on until the dish is filled. Bake an hour. 4e ISI^Anything from a calling card to a large show card embossed in colors, or from a circular to a history of the world, can be produced by the Swinburne Printing Company, 9-11-13 Washington avenue north.

Try with a fork and remove as soon as done. Drain and set on the back of the stove with the cover partly off to let the steam escape. Clean potatoes for baking with a small brush.
