Christmas Puddings and Something About Sauces (By Edith M. Barber) “When good King Arthur ruled He ruled it like a king; He stole three pecks'of barlej To make a black pudding. A black pudding the king did make He stuffed in well with plilms, And in it put great “gobs" of fat, As big as my two thumbs. And Almost All Christmas Puddings have the Same Basis of Flour and Suet, with Variations of Fruit†Spices and Nuts to Add Flavour. Plum Pudding; Steam Pudding. Sauces.

We do not know when it was written but history tells us that from medieval times plums and puddings have been associated. The oldest recipe to be found is for a sort of porridge which actually demanded plums instead of the fruits of the pr?sent-day which have replaced everything but the name. From Christmas Day to Twelfth Night plum pudding was customarily served each day. It was supposed to be un- lucky to eat it before December 25, but good fortune was guaranteed if pudding were eaten daily for the following 12 days. Neighbours and friends exchanged puddings percha‘nce for variety, but also to insure special good fortune for the year. _ To-day nothing is more appreciated for a Christmas remembrance than a share from the results of an old family recipe for Christmas pudding Both Syracuse and Boston are appre- ciated contributors to my Christmas dinner. Last year the jury disagreed as to which deserved the prize. While practically all puddings have the same basis of flour and suet. varia- tions of fruits and spices, the use of sugar or molasses. or the inclusion of nuts will produce differences in rich- ness and flavour. Both Scotch and Ger- man recipes call for grated carrots as well as fruit. English recipes some- times call for brandy, rum or sherry as part of the liquid. My own preference is to save my liquor to soak the pud- ding in after it is steamed. In these modern days we seldom With the Beatty Automatic Ircner “you can sit down and iron without fatigue." The work is done in a fraction of the time taken by the tiresome hand iron method. 1*“ " This Christmas BE A REAL JE‘VELIJSRg Orb†1847 ROGERS BROS.

Large puddings should be steamed from five to six hours; smaller puddings demand about an hour's less time. When they are finished covers should be removed at once. but may be returned after the puddings are cold. They may then be reheated from half an hour to an hour before serving time. Now just a word about sauces. fully as important as the pudding itself. Hard sauce. liberally flavoured with brandy or rum. or a rich creamy sauce may be used. My favourite. which is perhaps easiest to make of any sauce I know. is called Christmas sauce.

TILIRUNS, ONTARIO Members of the Schubert Choral So- ciety are specially urged to attend the meeting of the society this (Monday; evening. The time now is short before the first public appearance in 'I‘immins of the Schubert Choral as announced elsewhere in this issue. It is desired to make this first appearance a notable one and rehearsals are very necessary for this, so all members will kindly turn out for the meeting this evening. Dr. Donald R. Wells, in the Journal of the American Medical Association, suggests immersing a badly-burned pa- tient in a tub filled with warm tannic acid solutionâ€"using enough tannic acid powder to give it a. good muddy colour. Fresh water is run in and the solution drained out continuously and more tannic acid is added from time to time. The solution softens, loosens. and raises the destroyed tissue. For slight or medium burns spraying paraffin over the burn with a fine sprayer or painting it on with a fine brush is now being used to a. considerabl extent. However. using a strong brew of tea is the best and simplest home treat- ment of burns. “It is not generally recognized that strong tea. was an old wife’s method of treating burns and scalds in Scotland in generations past." Meeting This Evening of Schubert Choral Society For first aid purposes in the home the brew of tea should be of the “lum- berjack" variety produced by boiling a handful of tea in a. pan of water for a few minutes. Strips of linen may be sterilized by boiling them at the same time, then lifted out and allowed to drip until cooled to body temperature be- fore being applied to the burn." That carron oil is helpful in other] irritating conditions of the skin has. been discovered by physicians who.' having always a supply in their bag. tried it out on these other conditions. As you knowI3 to 5 per ‘cent. tannlci acid is now used for all degrees of] burns instead of carron oil. Carron oil' has been replaced in the kit bags by; tannic acid. A level teaspoonful of tannic acid tol 20 tsaspoonfuls of water gives the 5‘ per cent. solution. Two or three years ago it was report- ed in the Journal of the American Medical Association that if tannic acid were not available the use of strong tea would do equally well; tea is avail-l able in practically every household. Dr. Stewart Middleton, Edinburgh,‘ reports: “Some years ago I was able to! treat alternate cases of a. series of fairly severe scalds in children with tannic' acid and tea. So far as results were] concerned there was no difference be-' tween the two. I (Com/right, 1936. b 3' cate. Inc.) Beat, egg add sugar smooth. Bean cream. fc mixture and flavour. Home. Treatment of Burns For years every first aid kit carried a bottle or tube of carron oil for use in burns. IL was a sticky or untidy method but gave ease and seemed to heal the average burn.
