bh ke i i \ 3 e = a By Mair M. Morgan' '} > -e The following recipes for frostings ~ are "well worth being added to your scrap book for future reference, . Frostings 7 Frostings belong to two main groups -- tse which are cooked and those which are not cooked. 1, Cooked Frostings -- (a) The so- » called Boiled Frosting -- a sugar and water syrup poured and beaten into atiffly beaten egg whites; the White " Mountain = Frosting (the same but with a large proportion of egg white) and the Seven Minute Frosting, for which all ingredients are put together In the double boiler and cocked under constant. beating, (b) The creamy, fudge-like mix- tures -- any of the candy recipes like maple cream, fudge, divinity fudge, kept a little softer so that they will spread, ! 2. Uncooked Frostings ; Note: Always roll lumps cut of leing sugar and sift it, (a) Plain Confectioners' Icing -- tiquid, icing sugar 'and flavoring. (b) Butter Icing -- well creamed buster, liquid, icing sugar, and flavor- g. 3 ss (¢) Ornamental Frosting -- un- beaten egg white, icing sugar, lemon Juice, beaten together until stiff. . (d) Egg Yolk Base -- with icing sugar and fruit juices, pulp, choco- late, etc., added. » (e) Almond Icing -- prepared al- nond icing can be bought in tins and If necessary softened with a little egg white or yolk. Real almond paste can be mixe! with equal amounts of icing ugar (put through food chopper to- pether) -and: blended with well-beaten gg yolks for a yellow icing, or with stiffly-beaten whites for a white icing. to give required congistency. (Orna- mental Frosting is used over the al- nond paste.) . ~ : } BOILED FROSTING One cup granulated sugar, 1% tea- .ipoon salt, 2 teaspoons light corn fyrup, 1 or 2 egg whites, 1-8 cup voiling water, 32 teaspoon vanilla (or sther flavoring). ~ Two egg whites make a fluffier ic- ing. - Put the sugar, salt, boiling wa- ler and syrup over low heat in a raucepan and stir until sugar is dis- wlved; bring slowly to boiling point ind cook without stirring until your hermometer registers exactly 240 tegrees F.; if you have no thermo: uneter, test by dipping a fork into the wrup and lifting it into the air; when right, it will leave a long wavy hair- like thread as.it drips from the tip of the fork; also, a little syrup drop- ped into cold water will form a soft »alL. . Remove from fire; beat the egg white until stiff. Pour the syrup rery, very slowly over the egg white, beating constantly. If .you want a ~ firm, crisp frosting, begin to pour the syrup over the egg as soon as it stops bubbling; if you want a soft frosting, Mlow the 'syrup to cool considerably before pouritig it over the beaten egg. Do not scrape the last syrup from the pan. Beat until the icing is of a consistency to spread. A wire beater and flab plate of platter are easiest bo use for the egg whites, and to beat In the syrup. : Note--13% teaspdon cream of tartar, "sprinkled into the syrup when boiling town, may be used instead of the corn syrup to keep icing soft and fluffy, A-good- frosting to keep on hang; put'in covered jar in refrigerator. Seven-Minute Frosting Variations 13% cups white sugar. 2 unbeaten egg whites, - 5 tablespoons cold. water. 1 tablespoon light corn syrup. ! FLAVORING. Put all but the flavoring into up- r pan of double boiler and beat to end well, Place over lower pan containing ra- pidly boiling water and héat steadily steadily with a Dover beater until fc- Ing will stand up in. peaks when the Dover beater is lifted out -- (usually 7 minutes). ve upper pan from heat, add flavoring and heat until right for spreading. When cool, pile roughly on bop and sides of cake -- use as filling, too, if desired. te "This frosting shculd be allowed sev- etal hours to set, : -- h pi Bad dh Bn i tg re ~ VARIATIONS Either the boiled frosting or {he seven-minute frosting may. be finish. ed in many different ways, : Colored Frosting -- Blend a little pure coloring paste or liquid into a small part of the icing, then mix gra- dually into the main part; this way, you can be sure to keep it pale enough to be tempting. The egg-white may be colored for the beiled icing, Banana Icing -- Spread sliced ba- nanas thickly over soft frosting, just before cake is to be served. Chocolate Icing -- Add one ounce or square of melted chocolate imme- diately after adding syrup (in boiled frosting). Grate chocolate over 7- minute icing, and beat in lightly when cooked. : Coffea leing -- Use coffee infusion instead of water as the liquid. Caramel Icing -- Use Brown sugar instead of white.. Maple Icing -- Use 3% pound grat ed maple sugar to replace the sugar. Or flavor the cooked icing with maple flavering, 5 Marshmallow -- Add 8 marshmal- "|1ows, cut in pieces, to syrup, just be- fore beating it into egg whites, for boiled frosting. For 7-minute frost- ing, fold in, when fresting is cooked. Orange Icing -- Add grated yellow rup has been added to the egg, in a boiled icing -- at end, in 7-minute frosting. : Chocolate Glaze -- Put 2 squares chocolate over hot water and heat slowly till melted. Cool a little, keeping free from draughts, then streak over a thick layer and spread with a knife. Al- low to cool slowly in moderately warm room, 50 chocolate won't turn grey. Gelatine Icing -- Soak 1 teaspoon gelatine in 2 teaspoons cold water 5 minutes. and dissolve in het boiled frosting, (This makes it certain that the icing will stand up.) If Frosting Threatens Failure If you have a saucepan thermometer to put in your saucepan, you cah al- ways niake a boiled icing just right, but sometimes it is difficult to cook the sugar to exdctly the right degree without a thermometer. : / If boiled icing ov T-minute icing seems in danger of failure, you may rescue it: SER STAN Sy (a) If to thin, stir in icing sugar to bring frosting to right consistency (b) If too hard, add- a little hot water or soften it with a very little lemon juice, which will turn some of the sugar to glucose, with softening effect. : ~~ Plants in the Home 'Our homes, according to the Hor- ticultural Division, Dominion Depart- ment of Agriculture, aré much too warm and dry for most plants, es- pecially. during the winter months. High temperatures combined with too little sunshine produce weak, spindly growth, and under such conditions flowering plants often drop their buds. As the home can be modified only to a very slight extent, plants must be chosen that can: adjust themselves to such environment. Many failures to grow plants successfully are due to faulty drainage, careless watering, and insect injury. After potting, the plant should receive a liberal water- ing, and then no water given "until needed. Blooming plants require more water than the slowed growing ones such as palms, With a little experi- ence one can tell when plants really need watering. The appearance of the plant, of course, is a good indi- cation of its requirements. A method commonly followed is to tap the pot 'with the 'knuckles. If it has plenty of water, the sound is dull; if it dry the pot will ring. Occasional syring- Ing is beneficial, especially for ferns and other foliage plants. : Soften Brown Sugar If brown sugar lumps, soften it by placing in a shallow pan in a warm oven for a few minutes. Then put it away in a eool place, covered with a damp cloth, to keep it soft and moist until ready to use. : ; To Separate Glasses When two glass dishes have stuck together through being packed one rind of one orunge just after the sy™ the top one, and stand the bottom one in hot water, and in a few min. utes they will come apart. "Beautify the Home Following the impetus given by the | various horticultural societies through out Canada in th: beautification of Canadian homes, the many resplen- dent varieties of bulbs and other love- ly spring flowers are becomibhg in- creasingly popular' in the Dominion. After a long mo nous wintér they appeal to man's primitive love of rich colours in a degree seldom equalled by the floral glory of later seasons, Ev- ery spring one of thé most gorgeous displays of colour that it is possi. ble to create is to be seen at the Do- minion Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, where frequent inquiries as to the culture of these flowers are received and willingly answered, to- gether with other valuable informa- tionl on the floral beautification of the home, From the "More Beautiful Canada" committee of the Canadian Horticultural societies, and from all the Dominion and Provincial experi- mental farms and stations, anyone de- sirous o' beautifying the home may obtain useful and practical informa- tion.

Marie, Ont.--The second summary of [ce conditions. on the Great Lakes, issued here recently, gives little indication that, conditions have improved sufficiently for navig- ation to open before the first of May at the earliest," The ice in St. Mary's river is 23 inches thick and solid, 20 to 36 inches thick in the lower end of Whitefish Bay and 10 to 24 inches thick near the end of the point. There are still 44 inches of ice in Georgian Bay, which is completely frozen over, and 20 to 30 inches of ice at Parry Sound harbor. : In Lake Huron the ice extends he- yond vision along the east shore, in Saginaw Bay and in the region about Alpena, with depths ranging from 13 to 24 inches. At Oscoda there is no ice in the river, and only a few dis- tant "icebergs" are sighted. ---- Two U.S. Railroads ; Loaned $2,366,531 Washington.--Two additional loans Je. railroads ~totpiliag $2,066,681 < for new equipment and maintenance were announced recently by Harold Ickes, United States Public -Works Adminis. trator. .

All About a Thoughtless Visi tor Who Hindered Rather - Than Helped Her Hostess : The leleginm naacsuncitg har av rival brought a puzzled frown to the brow of the busy housekeeper. For a moment the nama of the sender meant nothing to lier. Then she re- called the one-time school-mate, a somewhat selfish and inquisitive girl for whom she had felt no great at finity, in their casual contacts, and little real regret at parting, Now ghe experieniced a slight feeling of anger at this uninvited guest, who wag 'doubtless making a convenience of her; but this soon passed, as more hospitable feelings gained control. The train upon which the guest was expected to arrive pulled into and out of the station, but the guest was not there, The weary woman who had waited for her turned homewards, striving to make up for lost time by simplifying her plans for the evening meal, Just as the family .had reached the dessert stage, the missing - trav- eller was announced by the honking of an auto horn. "I got oft the. train at the 'other station," she offered gaily."l saw a friend on the platorm, and as 1 want. ed to speak to lier, I thought I might as well get oft there and taxi over." She offered no apology for her thoughtless change of plans. Her ut- ter disregard of every one's conven- ier.ce but her own on this occasion was symbolic of her attitude all through her lengthy visit. The meals became a bhiurden to the hostess, because "I cannot eat this," or "I must not eat that," became a familiar cry three times a day, and yet another burden was laid on weary shoulders: "What can I cook, or af- ford, that she will like?" And after each meal, when the busy housekepeer attacked the great piles of dishes--for she did: her own work --- the guest was _there, in the middle of things hindering where she was under the impression she was helping, misplacing articles, to the despair of the hostess when the time came to prepare the next meal, and continually talking about herself and her affairs, or about people whom her long-suffering hostess, approach- ing every monient a little nearer to distraction, never gaw and had no desire to see. CITA AE Suiiek tie It wag the pride of this hostess to have all her rooms in order early in the day, and no matter at what hour she chanced to pass her guest room door, disorder prevailed. She aver- 1} ted her eyes that she might not see the littered wearing apparel of all kinds, on tables, chairs and floor, while the lop-sided bed suggested nightmares, =~ "I just won't .make her bed," she said to herself, with the daring which even the trodden worm dis- plays. What was the use of trying to keep anything tidy In a room which always looked as though a cy- clone had struck it? "If she would keep all her belong- ings in her room, I could stand it!" the hostess sighed to sympathetic ears, "But she drops something every time she moves, and scatters things over every room in the house!" And sighed wearily as, in order to pres- erve some semblance of tidiness, she gathered up a collection of books, papers, fancy work and knitting and carrlec them upstairs to their owner. But it was in the bathroom that the guest "got in" her most remak- able moves! She: was quite without the- discrimination which teaches what is meant for family, "and what for personal use in a bathroom. Bath salts, wash cloths--she made use of everything. Her favorite time for a long-drawn- out Ltah was just in the middle of the carefully prepared morning sche- dule whereby each member of the family was governed, and which gave all the benefit of a regular bath, If she was aware that a son or a daughter had nearly exploded with impatience, and was finally obliged to go off bhathless to work or plea- sure, she made no sign. She simply could not learn to take her bath when the bathroom was not in demand. And dhe was the personification of curiosity about matters which did not concern her in the least. She notic- ed and commented on the slight dust in the corner, the finger prints on the bhannster, the sullen fire, the children's noise, In fact, nothing, large or small, escaped that eagle eye, And just where a guest might make herself most appreciated, she falled miserably. She made uc at- tempt to enter into the moods of her hostess and family, to be silent when, they were thoughtful, ready to con: erse when they showed themselvos so inclined. She could not merge herself into, the household atmo- sphere, be content to read or occupy herse]f with her own thoughts or her own work. 'An unceasing stream of meaningless talk made concentration impossible. > No member of that long-suffering household felt or even pretended to feel regret when at length she an- nounced. her departure. Too sincere to offer objections, even at the risk of seeming inhospitable, the hostess gently but firmly paved the way, and finally bade her a kindly farewell, Not so easlly, however, was this familly to get rid of the obnoxious visitor, Seated at the first meal they had really enjoyed for many days, they were transfixed with amaze ment when a too familiar volce called out gaily through the open door: "Missed my train, Good People!" mis ---- Swift's at Edmonton Raise Wages 10 p.c.

Graduate of Toron to University Actually Out in Mining Field There is one woman prospector in Manitoba, who Is actually out in the fleld. This is Miss Kathleen Rice, an honor graduate from Toronto Unf. versity, who is located at Herlh Lake. She has a team of huskies, wears hob nailed boots and a real -pro- spector's outfit, and is equipped to look after herself in the wilderness, But there are seven other women who have completed a prospector's course in the geology department, at the University of Manitoba, with 150 men. Que of these, Mrs. -G. DM. Brownell, said she took the short course because she was interested {un geology and wanted to make herself better acquainted with her husband's specialty. When Dr. Brownell men- tions at dinner, on future occasions, that so-and-so has staked a claim, or that ope ations are to begin on a new mine, his wife will be able to gay something besides a mere, "Oh," and then ask if his coffee is all right. One of the teachers graduating taught near Gypsumville, where she satisfled her curiosity about fossils and rock formations, and added a lot of mining terminology to her voc- bulary. Other teachers said that the prospectors' course attracted them because thelr students were always bringing In rock and stones for identi. fication. . None of the women have aay in- tentfons at present of going off and rotighing it as a prospector. There fs some talk, however, of an expedi- tion in the spring, for a little prac- tical field work. Asked if It was a women's course in any .way, some of tic-members a! the class replied "that a woman's powers of observation and discrimination undoubtedly aided her in the fdentl- fication of minerals. The examinations consisted in part of the naming of 60 minerals, a knowledge of which Is necessary before anyone calling her- gelf a prospector could attempt to dis- cover a fleld where gold" or other minerals might be found. As one of them put it, "a woman is ued to look- ing into things."

Dr. Logan Clendéning writing 1a the Border Cities Star offers' some sound advice. It would be wise for us all to read and learn the art of artificial résperation at we never know when.an emergency may arise, Heo writes: SE SN "The induction of artificial respir- ation is an emergency method of first importanca, It.is applicable to, any condition where the patient js knocks ed unconscious 'or shocked, as point that breathing hav ceased." In such an event, artificial takes precedence over every form of treatment. ' HOPE FOR HOPELESS ix No time should be lost in beginning it, and it should be continued for several hours. Cases are on record in which things looked quite hopeless, but in which at the end of four houra of artificial respiration the patient began to breathe voluntarily. The best method of artificial respi ration--the prone pressure method--- is simple and can be learned quickly by anyone; the injured person's mouth is examined to se) that there are no foreign bodies or dislocated false teeth or pleces of chewing gum, which might obstruct breathing. The neck bands are loosened. The patient is laid face downward with his fore- head vesting on his elbow. The resus. citator straddles the prone body, Placing an open palm on each side ot the patient's chest, the resuscitator leans forward, compressing the cheat with all his weight. Then springs back, taking his hands off the chest . and allowing it to expand. Count five, Then lean forward again and com- press the chest once more. INSTINCTIVELY This method may not- seem to allow as much air to goin and out as other methods. The one used In. stinctively probably by most people, is to put the patient on his back and other alternately raise the arms over the head and press them: down to the gides, One_ disadvantage of this method is, that with the patient on his back the tongue is likely to drop backward and close the entrance to the lungs, but even more important than this is the small amount of, aly which 'it manages to bring in and out Comparatively, for instance, this so called Syslvester method brings an ali exchange of 2,280 cc a minute, while the prone pressure method, as de Two Dead Dogs Restored to Life Doctois Hopeful Test May Prove Applicable To Humans Berkeley, Callf.--Last week tw dead dogs brought back to life Ig the magic of science gave a doctor hopé that buman lite may be restor ed, Not that the goal is immediately ta sight.

The dogs were as phyxiated with nitrogen gas aud pronounced dead. : Then injections of. adrenalin, he parin and oxygen were administered combined with a '"toeter-totter" de vice to restore the circulation of the blood. The doctor said that heart ac jon and respiration were restored One dog, a fox terrier, lived again foi four hours. Another, also a terrier came back for flve hours. ' The trouble with the dogs Dr Cornish said, was that on their re turn journey they didn't seem to take an interest in things. Nelther appear ed to regain consciousness, : A record kept by the scientists showed the second dog, . proclaimed dead from nitrogen gas at 12:34 p.m, gtarted to live again nine minutes later as indicated by the first hear beats, At 12:58, respiration was well under way. The dog soon twitched gave knee reflexes, moved its lp and eyes, At 4 p.m, the respiration and pulse approached normal, An. how later the breathing became labored and at 6 p.m. "re-death occurred," Dr. Cornish said he will continud his experiments and that {i 'com sciousness" can he added to the re stored organic functions, "life may be = prolonged for a considerable period." : He hopes that, if successful, the knowledge can be applied to revive persons struck dead by electrie shocks, heart attacks dnd other sim flar cnnses, 4 TNR Soviet Lipstick Expert Won't Use It Herself Moscow, -- Pauline Czemshuzlina, wife of.
