+ tenet oily the nr SE gi strength but im have ; PREPARING THE PERISHAB Midsummer illnesses are often charged to excess of fruit and vege- tables in the diet. This form of diet is the best for this season of the year but unless these foods are not in per- fec. condition of ripeness; and cican- ness, troukle is sure to follow, espec- fally if we ourselves are not in good physical condition. The high temperature and moisture usually present in August afford just; the condition under which bacteria; grow. We need, therefore, to be very carefull how and what we eat. Most houses are now screened against flies but harmful germs also are carried in dust. All food should therefore be protected from dust as from flies. While food is cooling, uncovered or standing exposed to the air, spores or germs of molds and ferments enter and the warmth present' causes their rapid multiplication. Food should, therefore, be cogled as quickly as pos- sible and never left standing in a hot kitchen or unprotected anywhere. It is wise to put soup or stewed fruit into two dishes instead of one that they may more rapidly cool and be put away. Do mot trust too much to the re- frigerator to keep foods in good condi- tion. If trouble-making germs have settled on meat, dessert, milk or but- ter before they reach the cooler, their multiplication may be delayed but the temperature of the ice box, being be- low freezing, ig not such as to render them harmless and if through lack of jce, it warms up, a dangerous change in the foods is easily brought about. Few foods should stand over twenty-four hours without scalding to kill germs that may be present. Meat . with gravy, reheated in a pie crust, or a salad or meat lod can-become so germ-infected as to cause sdvere ill- ness. The housemother may suc- cumb first to the poison created by the germs, because she has worked hard and eaten carelessly. It is well for her to try to keep cool in mind'and body during the busy, trying days of August. Why spend hours in a hot kitchen making cakes, pies and fancy desserts when fresh fruit is mote abundant than at any, other time of the year? Try to plan to have as few hot dishes as possible and yet have something warm at each meal. Plan all three meals at once and "dovetail" them to save handling the same materials and utensils twice a d Where ice is not available, gelatine may be used to give form not only to desserts but to meat loaves or salads.

Lamb can be used in the same way. To prepare a delicious jellied loaf, trim and wash the meat and barely cover with cold water, add a few whole cloves, an onion, parsley. or dried celery leaves, and one teaspoon- ful of salt for each quart of water. Cook gently for two hours or until the bones may be siipped out. © Drain the broth from the meat and let it cook again, uncovered, until reduced to less than the bulk of thé meat. I Dissolye some soaked gelatine in the | broth and more seasoning as needed, 8 little lemon Juice or vinegar .or a cucumber pickle chopped fine.. Have the meat carefully picked over, alli m skin and bones removed. It may be left in large pleces or be chopped. Arrange in a good mold or loaf pan or a bowl and strain the broth over'it. Leave over night to cool. Or it may be shaped in small cups, one mold to be served to each person on a lettuce leaf or nest of water cress. Almost any meat or fish or fowl may be pre- pared in the same way. Liver boiled, chopped and mixed with a little chopped ham, makes a good change. Canned salmon mixed with a cooked salad dressing in which a little gelatine has been dissolved, is excellent. This is a fine way to put in attrac- tive shape the last bits of a roast of meat or of a boiled ham, instead of using them for hash or a hot meat loaf. Sometimes when we make a meat loaf and steam it there is considerable Niquid in the pan when it is done and the solid portion has drawn away from the pan. . This liquid may be used to dissolve a small amount of soaked gelatine' and then be poured over the meat again, thus surround- ing it with jelly when it is cold. When -meat broth is lacking as a foundation for the jelly, strained to- mato may be used, or celery or even cucumber may be cooked and strained and seasoned. Sterilize Your Fruit Juices. Fruit juices for use later in jelly making can be sterilized and bottled without sugar and made into jellies at the housewife's convenience. This enable her to do with fewer jelly glasses and to distribute her pur- chases of sugar for jelly making through the year. More over, with the bottled juice she ¢an make a greater variety of jellies, as juices which will not "jell" can be put up when the fruit is ripe and combined later with fruits that will jell, or fruits ripening at different seasons an be combined. For example, the juice of strawberries, cherries or pine- apple can be kept without sugar, and later, when apples are plentiful, can be made into combination jelly. To put up unsugared fruit faices for jelly making, proceed exactly as if jelly were to be made at the time, Cook the fruits until they are soft and strain out the juice through a flannel bag. Heat and pour while hot into bottles previously scalded. Fill the bottles full, leaving no afr space between juice and cork or seal. Place the filled sealed bottles on their sides in water near the boiling point, and keep them in the bath for about thirty minutes. Make sure that | corked or sealed end is under the hot water, cover the cork with a paraffin seal. Thorough %terilization and seal- ing are absolutely essential to success. 'o make ji from the sterilized juice, test its jelling quality, add the ipropes amount of sugar, and proceed as making jelly from (freshly ex- _ | pressed juice.
