I can think of one home that I al- ways feel depressed after leaving, and it isn't because the home-maker herself is discouraging. It is because the pctual air. a combination of gas- oline fumes from the kitchen stove and strong tobacco smoke from her hours biW>and's pipe, pervades the whole ;»mount of my ing water, and when the contents are steaming hot put the small pan di- rectly over the fire until it boils. Replace it in the pail of boiling water and set the whole in the cook- er for one hour.

This dressing keeps well in sealed jars. Spinach loses both color and flavor if it is cooked in too much water. The quantity of water that adheres to it from washing is enough to steam it tender; there should be just enough water to keep it from scorching. Garnish the cooked spinach with hard-boiled eggs put through a vege- table ricer. or cut in slices. The eggs improve both the looks and the taste of the dish. When you cook vegetables such as potatoes, peaa, cauliflower, etc., put in enough water to have a cupful left as a foundation for a light, nourish- ing soup. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter into a saucepan, when it bub- bles add a quarter of a cupful ol flour, two cupfuls of milk and th« vegetable liquor; add salt, pepper, kitchen bouquet and onion seasoning, if desired; let it bo,il and serve.

Many a mountain cabin, vacation lodge, and even a shack of the West- ern ranch has an optimistic home at- mosphere just because it has light, sun, air. and simple but bright fur- nishings.

And you, Phil?" Use a Fireless Cooker. Food which has started cooking over coal, wood or gas is placed in the cooker and continues to cook be- cause the heat stored within escapes so slowly that the cooking is pro- longed indefinitely. Food requiring long, slow cooking can be started over a quick fire and finished in the cooker, with a saving in fuel and a cool kitchen. Soapstone disks are re- quired for baking and roasting, and these, instead of the food, are heated; and the cooking continues without danger of burning. The food container must fit closely into the nest, and should have a close- ly-fitting lid; for not only the food, but the a,ir between the food and the lid, must be thoroughly heated before it is placed in the cooker. There is considerable comfort in being able to start the breakfast cer- eal while you are doing up the supper dishes, knowing that you will find it perfectly cooked the next morning, requiring only a quick reheating be- Water Power of the Empire.
