THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1929 Women's Interests in the Home ~ ar SHROVE TUESDAY AND PAN. : CAKES . With the mention of Shrove Tuesday there immediately comes to mind a large pile of pancakes for luncheon or supper, In many of the old countries pancakes are ,eaten religiously on pancake night ics is the eve of Ash Wednes- day, This year Ash Wednesday comes particularly early, February 13, and 1 at reason a& few re- clipes for this evening's supper may be well received: : : Usually. one thinks of griddle "cakes as a breakfast dish, but nuts, cheese, meats or vegetables may be mixed with the batter and served @8 the main dish at luncheon or Ir, So often the mention of pancakes brings to mind a smoke filled shouse in which the pancake odor lingers all too long after the pancakes have been eaten, But this 1s not necessary if the pancakes are cook- ed in the proper mafiner, The grid- dle should be heated very slowly and not too hot, To judge the heat of the griddle, two or three drops of water should be dropped upon it, If they dance gaily the heat is corréct. When-the water stays in place or when it disappears im- mediately temperature adjustments are in order, Many makers of pan- cakes have a tendency to overheat the griddle or the temperature is satisfactory when the first cakes are made they forget to pay any at- tention to the source of heat there- afte This method will lead to difficulty. When the griddle is of the right rature rub it lightly with a of soft paper which has been dipped in fat, Do not allow a sur- plus of fat, none should show on the griddle. This is important for pancakes should be baked, not fri- ed, As a further aid in preventing pancakes from sticking to the grid- dle, a small amount, of melted shortening should be included in the batter, Do not allow the griddle to be- come hot enough to cause the fat to smoke, ~If these directions are followed, the pancakes will be nicely brown. ed and of a spongy lightness, and the house will be quite free from the odor of frying. Some people refer the light, dry, bready pancakes, while others, prefer the thin, moist, almost soggy. kind, Each is a type. When a brand of pancakes is discovered which exactly suits the samily it is wise to stick to it. Variations may be used to avoid monotony but the main proportions should not be dis- turbed, SWEET MILK PANCAKES This is a type of "'bready" pan- cakes.. Mix and. sift 13 cups of flour, 2% teaspoons baking pow- der and § teaspoon salt, add 2 level tablespoons sugar. Beat 1'egg and 1 cup milk; beat thoroughly and add 1 tablespoon' butter, Pour bat- ter into a small pitcher, Pour by small amounts on griddle; cook on one side, When puffed, full ot bubbles and cooked on edges, turn and cook other side. 8érve with butter, maple syrup or a mixture of orange juice and sugfr. Begin cooking the batter as soon: as it is mixed or more baking powder will' be required, For luncheon, pancakes are a real innovation, In making, this type of pancake an excellent oppor- tunity is afforded of using veget- ables left over from dinner, Chop- ped meats, nicely seasoned, also may be used in this manner, When a thin pancake' is made a tasty filling of minced meat, molst- ened with a good sauce, and mado hot may be rolled up inside, These pancakes should be served with a good gravy, or they may be put n- to a flat baking dish' and, a little brown or tomato sauce . poured around, elpful ints For arassed ousewives EE SE Rag rugs so offen become discol- ored after washing bécause there is a goodly amount of soap left in them, Wash again and rinse thor- oughly until all the soap is remov- ed, * * » When serving lettuce be sure that there is no water on the leaves when the French drssing is added, The water will spoil the dressing and the oil will not adhere to the lettuce, Do not put the dressing on the lettuce until it is to ve serv- ed. 4 * ¥ %x To remove the deposit from the inside of tea kettles fill the kettle with water and add to it a dram of salamoniac, Let it boil for an hour when the fur or petrified sub- stances found on the metal will be dissolved, and can be easily re- moved. Rinse the kettle well, 'water. and soapsuds, taking care then boil once or twice before us- ing the contents, LJ LJ Since woollen stockings are likely to shrink with washing no matter how careful you are it is wise to buy them half a; size too large, Wash them in lukewarm to keep the water'the same tem- perature throughout the washing' process, Press the water through the stockings without. twisting or wringing, A little soap in the fin- al rinsing water will keep them soft and fluffy, If wolleen stock- ings feel scratchy next to the skin wear silk ones underneath, A fresh stain 'caused by black shoe paste can be removed by sponging or washing thoroughly with sosp and water, using plenty of soap, If the paste contains tur- pentine, as many of them do, dip the stained portion in turpentine and rub gently, For black liguid polish stains, sponge or wash with soap and water to remove as much of the stains as possible, ' then apply potassium permanagate; do no use this on rayon fabrics. The tan liquid polish contains more or less free oxalic acid and as this will injure the fabric it would be wise to treat such . stains while fresh. For all tan polish stains on cotton and linen, use soap and water, and for other fabrics, especially wool, wood or denatured alcohol will be found more effec- tual, Spots caused by white shoe dressing can be removed by spong- ing with water and when perfect- ly dry, brushed well br rubbed with the same material in the direction of the weave. THE MOTHER JOB It really isn't hard to be a mother, 'really isn't very much to do, The days are just exactly like each other-- You simply shut your eyes and wander through For six o'clock fs time enough for rising, And getting sll the children washed and dressed, And breakfast cooked--it really is surprising, But mothers never seem to need 8 rest, 3 The lunches must be jackets rounded. And everybody soothed and sent to school. To say that mother rushes is un- founded. packed and She's nothing more to manage, as) a rule. Talat 3 is to finish piles of sew- And cook and wash and iron and scrub and sweep. To order'food and keep the furance han, And , perhops to hide herself and weep! And when at last she's tucked them under covers, And geen to door that dad forgot Triumphantly, at midnight, she dis- covers ¢ ' She's mothing more to do till 6 o'clock? There "were almost 200,000 di- vorcesin the United States last jan rd as compared with 19,100 lL | IGNORANCE OF For Anything of Interest to Air Anving of Jugrert | * YOUNG RESULTS ~INDIVORCE Rabbi States Young People Should Be Trained and Educated for Marriage New York, N.Y,, Feb. 12.-- If' the matrimonial bark is to weather stormy seas successfully, young people must be trained and educated for marriage, Rabbi Na- than Krass told his congregation recently, The reason the ratio of divorces to marriages is so high is that our young people know little about marriage, he said, "We educate them in everything, we have col- lege courses in all things under the sun, but we do not teach them the real meaning of marriage, its signi- ficance, its problems as well as its virtues," he declared. "We must learn to train our young people for marriage. Be- fore entering the bonds of matri- mony, our young men and women must have received preparation in the art of saving, in the practice of making mutual sacrifices, and must know how to iron vut uusun- derstandings, and clashes of tem- perament, "No human being {is perfect, either before or after marriage. The trouble is that young people entering marriage, inspirea only by romantic love, forget that. Hence, they are not ready for the disillu- sionment that must come in every lite and when it does come they hurry for a divorce. ' "With the right sort of training they would know that occasjonal 4isillusionments are to be expected. They would know how to make mutual sacrifices, They would know. how to adjust themselves to each other. For one ov tne dan- gers of marriage is the effort to create a new temperament out of your partner, It can't be done, and even if {it could be brought about, it would be highly undesir- able, Young people in marriage must be of the same cloth but not of the same pattern." Short vacations for both the hus- band ama wife, a sort of sabbati- cal leave from marriage for a short period at the time, would be a very helpful 'immunizing agent" against discontentment and ennui, Rabbi Krass said, Such vacations, he explained, would give time to reflect about one's married life with the result that on returning to the 'matrimonial bark" a new point of vigor would be introduced into marriage. MARRIAGE EXPERT | SEEKS A DIVORCE Author of "Fourteen Points of Married Life" Leaves Husband San Francisco, Calif.,, Feb, 11,-- The Examiner says that Mrs. Vir- ginia Mowbary Whitney of Brook- lyn, N.Y,, whose "Fourteen Points of Married Life" gained her consid- erable fame several years ago, has filed suit for divorce in Reno against Arthur Whitney, paper com- pany executive and former army aviator, i The paper said that the martial troubles of the Whitneys dated back to 1924, when they separated because Mrs. Whitney contended her husband was cruel to her. When Whitney sought a reconciliation, Mrs. Whitney served him with her 14 rules for connubial bliss, which Whitney is said to have declared "read like the terms of a victorious general to a foe he has forced to an unconditional surrender." In the 14 points which the Ex- aminer lists, Mrs. Whitney stipu- lated that there would be no more talk of bachelor freedom, mor en- tertaining of young ladies by her husband, and thet the marriage was on a fifty-fitfy basis. .

If I can have just bread and cheese, Or a homely meal . Served simply on a platter clean, Quite satisfied I'll feel, I will not ask for richer foods or red and sparkling wine For glass and silver shining bright, or napery so fine, x If I can live with homey folk, My own folk so near and dear, The friends who've loved and clung to me, . Through many a weary. year, I'll never ask to mix with those Who're born of high degree. But live my life just as I can, Happy and poor, but free, SONG She is not fair to outward view, As many maidens be, Her loveliness I never knew Until she smiled on me. Oh, then I saw her eyes were bright, A well of love, a spring of light. But now her looks are coy and cold, To mine they ne'er reply, And yet I cease not to behold The lovelight in her eye. Her very frowns are fairen far Than smiles of other maidens are. Hartley Coleridge.
