pos 4 nl Lie "salt, onion juice, crab-meat, By Mair M. Morgan J CRISP, COOL SALADS, Summer menus cry aloud for crisp, cool salads. The eye does half the eating. in hot weather and so color and beauty in food - are of double value, Try this molded crab-meat salad with = watercress sandwiches for luncheon on the porch some hot noon. Molded Crab-Meat Salad Two cups flaked crab-meat, % cup diced celery, 2 tablespoons shredded green pepper, ¥ teaspoon onion juice, 34 cup mayonnaise, 1% tea- spoon salt, 4 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons vinegar 1 tablespoon granulated gelatin, 4 tablespoons cold water, 4 tablespoons boiling water. . A Soften gelatin in cold water for five minutes and dissolve it in boil- ing water. Add lime juice, vinegar, celery, green pepper and mayonnaise. Turn into a ring mold and let stand on ice until chilled and firm. Unmold and garnish with mayonnaise, cucumber sticks and radishes, Lime juice is suggested in place of lemon juice be- cause the favor of lime is particu- larly delicious with crab-meat. If limes are not to be had, lemon juice of course may be substituted. . Ham Salad Two cups finely chopped but not ground cold boiled.or baked ham, cup shredded new cabbage, 1 shred- ded green pepper, 1 package lemon flavored gelatin, % cup boiling water, 1% cup cold water, 1 cup mayonnaise. Pour boiling water over gelatin and when dissolved add cold water. Let cool and add ham, cabbage "and green pepper. Mix well and fold in mayonngise. Turn into a brick shap- ed mold and let stand on ice for several hours to chill and become firm. Unmold and serve on a bed of lettuce with a garnish of dill pickle strips and mayonnaise. This salad may be varied in many ways. Add celery and grape fruit pulp in place of cabbage. Green pep- per adds a refreshing touch of green as well as a tang that is pleasant with both combinations. You may want to add 2 or 3 tablespoons vine. gar, reducing the amount of cold water that much. COOL DRINKS Of all the deliciously simple and simply delicious concoctions in the category of summer foods, fruit gran- ites come first. Chilled to. the de- grec without the actual forming of ice crystals, granites are refreshing and decidedly cooling. ~~ To make a granite a heavy syrup is combined with fruit juice and water and the mixture is half frozen. It always is liquid enough to drink, but so thoroughly chilled that it just misses being an ice. Chill it until it looks white with-frost-and ice eryst- als gather against the sides of the mold. The combinations are almost count- less for these granites. All the can- ned fruits and most of the fresh ones may be used singly or in com- bination. The combination of fresh and canned fruit produces many novel flavors that ar delightful. Berry Granites Berry granites are seasonal and easy to prepare. Wash and drain one quart of berries. Put into a deep bowl and cover with 2 cups granu- lated sugar. Mash and cover with a clean towel, Let stand two or three hours. Extract all the juice and strain through a fine wire sieve or cheese cloth, Add two cups of water, pouring it through the fruit pulp. Pour into a mold and freeze. Serve with a garnish of mint. Canned fruits must be cooked with additional sugar to make a heavy syrup, crushing the fruit as it cooks. with a citrus fruit juice. Then the syrup is strained and com- bined with water as for fresh fruit. You may use jelly, too. Combine it Orange, lemon, lime and grapefruit juices all are good and each produces a distinec- tive flavor. Currant jelly and orange juice, blackberry jelly and lemon juice, red raspberry and lime--these are a few combinations that will sug- gest others to you. Use one large glass or standard measuring cup of jelly to one cup of fruit juice, % cup sugar ard 3 cups water. A tart juice such as lemon may require up to one cup of sugar. Make a syrup of the sugar and water by boiling them for 10 minutes. Add jelly and when cool add fruit juice. Strain and freeze. This may seem like a large amount of sugar, but as extreme cold has a tendency to deaden the taste, these drinks must be made extra sweet be- fore chilling. : Plums Good Choice Plums make a zestful granite. Add a few whole cloves and a two-inch stick of cinnamon broken in small pieces when making the syrup. Red, yellow or blue, they make a rich fragrant beverage. Cook them just long enough for the juice to flow freely, pour over the.prepared syrup and let stand until cool before strain- ing and freezing" If the granite is to be chilled in a crankless freezer, use three parts crushed ice to one part ice cream salt and let stand one hour. To hasten the chilling process, scrape down the edges of the mixture as it freezes. oo Orange and Lemon An orange and lemon drink is very refreshing and easy to make. Peel four oranges and two lemons vary thin and put in a vesszl with a pinch of salt. Allow to simmer and finally bring to the boil. Take out the peel, and, when cool, add the juice of the fruit. N This makes a good syrup and may be diluted with water or soda water as required. ? - A few slices of cucimber, an add grape or_two, or a cherry, two or three raspberries, or whatever fruit is handy, adi a new flavor to the drink, which will interest your friends. Gooseberry Quench Gooseberries simmered with sugar and water then strained, make a good fruit syrup especially if a little thin orange peel is added. Rhubarb, too, will give a tang to a syrup which, when diluted, makes a much appreci- ated drink. _ A good general rule is to boil slow- ly the sugar, peel and water for syrup, but not the fruit juice, as it loses its flavor. This should be added afterwards. - Lemon Squash. The children all love lemon squash. Here {s a good recipe: - Boil 2 cups sugar.in 1 pint of water for ten minutes, then leave to cool. "Mix 2 oz citric acid with two teaspoons of essence of lemon, and stir into the cold syrup. Add the pulp of two lemons, and shake thoroughly in a bottle, Allow one tablespoon to a tumbler of cold water. Lemonade, | Fxtract the juice from six lemons and put this, with 1 cup sugar into a jug, pour in a quart of boiling water. When the sugar has dissolved, strain the lemonade through muslin and allow it to get thoroughly chilled before serving. Cherryade Crush 1 lb. picked-over cheeries and break a few of the stones. Put the fruit into a saucepan with the 'kernels and one pint of water, bring to the boil and boil steadily for five minutes, Sieve, stir in half cup sugar, and when cold store in bot- tles.

An eggnog servad with sandwiches and cookies or cake makes a nour- ishing lunch for the children and on hot days particularly their diet must be watched. If you serve a choco- late drink you're sure to please the youngsters. We doubt if there is a more popular flavor with little peo. ple, and a great many grown-ups too. The Sunday School Lesson Amos Pleads for Justice. -- Amos 5 and 6.

In Alberta the number increased from 49 to 64. Prince Ed- ward Island had two deaths as against one in the preceding year. Ontario had the heaviest death rate from this cause of any province in 1933, 1L.8 per 100,000. British Col. umbia stood second with a rate of 11.0, The next highest: rates were 8.8 in Nova Scotia, 8.6 in Quebec and 8.6 in Alberta. In the City of Montreal 104 deaths took place in 1933 as compared with 1201 in 1932. In Toronto the number was 65 as against 41, In Ottawa, 25 as against the same number in the preceding year, in Hamilton 22 as against 20, in London 20 as against 12, in Winnipeg 18 as against 22, Death occuring in cities due to automobile accidents are not in every case the result of accidents which have taken place within the city lim. its, as those injured In accidents out. side if cities are frequently taken to city hospitals. Thrills Cost Him Plenty Will Spend $150,000 For Tractor Trip Through . Bush EDMONTON, Alta. -- Chas. FE. Bedaux, multi-millionaire Frenchman, likes his thrills so well he is going to pay more than $150,000 for one this summer. Bedaux and his party have left Edmonton for Jasper, where he will undergo a two weeks' "training period" prior to attempting a tractor dash across 700 miles of unexplored wilderness in northern British Col- umbia. With a party of 30, including three women, he plans to leave Fort St. John and hopes to arrive at Tele- graph Creek on October 15th. The party includes several explora- tion experts of international reputa tion and numbers among its equip-. ment five specially built caterpillar tractors. Nothing has been left to chance. Supply bases have been established along the route and radio equipment will be carried. Should anything un- foreseen happen that makes outside aid necessary, help will be summoned by radio and sent by airplane. The three women are Mme. Bedaux. wife of the leader; Mme. Alberto Chiesa, wife of a famous Cannes and Paris sportsman, and their maid. Bedaux said the trip primarily is for adventure, but he expects to find mineral deposits, important fossil ve: mains and some new tropical valleys; formed by hot springs. WHITE IS FAVORITE FOR WEARNG IN EVENING Paris.---White was in the ascend- ant in the evening stylescape, blues and pinks took second and third places. Ilegantes wearing volumin- ous snowy draperies that rivaled those of the visiting Bey's suite hint- ed that a new Tunisian silhouette may be expected in the future. Untrim- med velvet. evening wraps in deep colors were favorites, often they echoed the velvet trimmings on the bodices of white frocks.

For my. elf, I am no addict, and Robert, for all his regulation six cups a day when at home, was very cheerful at the prospect of doing without his early-morning awakenar and his afternoon restorative. TiLlg was at first. Somehow it seemed to me that his temper was not quite so good on our first morning in I'rance, and although the wine at lunch improved it, after another 100 miles of tree-lined dusty roads, [ felt myself that the tea problem was be. ginning to be important, In A Jug, Wo stopped at an imposing looking cafe, and Robert, purely, as he said afterwards, "to convince me, demand. ed "deux thes angilals" -- wa didn't bother about our special blend, In five minutes wo were offered a jug of pale fluid and another jug of hot milk. When mixed they made a grey colored liquid of quite unspeakable. flavor, Wo persevered miserably for the next two days. The nearest thing to a drink that we obtained was a most expensive and delicate blend of tea which tasted of lilac, Once we had crossed the Spanish frontier our hopes rose -- so much smiling sympathy for the weary and travel.stained, so much anxiety to be helpful, The delight of the cheer ful little waiter at Gerona at under- standing my faltered te inglese was altogether touching, Alas, his tea was hardly better than the rest. Wa were now drinking coffee, very grim. warned, the London ly, and the canister was badly de. pleted. The Old Yearning. . The sun and sea at Sitges mada us forget our troubles but after trea days the old yearning returned, Min. ute instructions in English, Irench and pidgin-Spanish at our very co mopolitan and up-to-date hotel results ed in tea that was just drinkable, but only just, So then 1 made inquiries, I learnt that on the Continent water, is held to remain boiling for some ten minutes after it has left the fire, that kettles and teapots are rarely' used, and that coffee.pots are consid- ered ominently suitable receptacles for the brewing. There is also the method which involves hanging the tea in little linen bags, one for each person, in the hot water. Avmed. with fresh data, I plotted, as well as | could, with the entire staff, cham. bermaids, waiters, and manager, Only Robert was kept in the dark, Punctually at 7.30 next morning an astonishing procession arrived, First came a smiling commis, bearing a sil. ver spirit lamp. Next the waiter with a tray and teapots, two kinds of cups, two kinds of sugar, and hot and cold milk, jugs of hot water and a giggling cham. bermaid brought up the rear, My io- structions had evidently not been ex- plicit, so nothing had been left lo chance, Slipping on a dressing gown, [ supervised operations whilg the crowd watched. The pot was warme- ed, the tea allowed to expand in the heat, hofore the water, really boiling, hut for not a moment too long, was reverently poured upon it. The great moment had come, and there was no disappointment, Gratefully Robert and I drank our first cup of Con. tinental English tea, Science Threatens Future of Countless Operatic Singers Anna Roselle, opera singer. is con. cerned for the future of the thous. ands now training for an operatic career. They are threatened, she he. lieves, hy radio, by television and by records. "It will be a little hit like the poor ohap who took his harp to the party and no one asked him to play," she says. The battle hetween science and mu. sical art is lamented by Miss Roselle: "ft is so very dificult for me to be- lieve that such a thing, the limita. tion of artists, will come about. It is like curbing nature, is it not so? It is like canned peas. Ah, ves can. ned peas are very good. But they are not so good as peas ong picks and cooks from one's own garden, So it is with voices, New, real, fresh voices--nothing is better." 14 And She Just Yoves Elsie Books, We Bet!
