THK VERSATILE ORANGE One of Nature'* Great Gifts to the Human Family. Old Mother Nature in her bounty has given mankind few things so at tractive, so wholesome and ho versa tile as the orange. When one con siders that only forty-eight years ago Mrs. Kliza Tibbets first received from the government experiment station in Washington the first two naval orange trees, from which have sprung millions of naval orange trees and the great industry of California, one realizes that mankind has not been slow to appreciate this most delicious and healthful of all fruits. Last year California alone supplied to the United States and Canada one hundred thousand carloads of oranges and grapefruit and thirteen thousand carloads of lemons. Florida, of course supplies the Southern and Eastern states with these fruits, though they are less choice than the . California variety. ! ? The orange is, indeed, to the house wife a very present help in tinje of need for she can tempt an indifferent morning appetite with a glass of orange juice int? which an egg has been beaten; she can tuck one into the school-child's lunchbox with a comfortable assurance that here is i wholosome dessert which' will not spill or spoil en route, and she can use' oranges in all sorts of delightful ways to make an ordinary dinner seem "dressy" and extra nice. And an orange all around at bedtimq is one of the best known methods of correct ing constipation. Recently one hundred and eighteen prominent physicians throughout the country wore asked to name the fruit they most often recommended for children under three years of age. All but fourteen named one fruit only, and they simply wrote "Oranges." Their reasons briefly condensed are these: ? WITH THE NEIGHBORS Some of the Helpful Hints Passed Along by I'hoebe. Instead of mixing cocoa with boil ing water, before putting it into the cocoa pot try mixing it with an equal amount of granulated sugar and then pouring it into tho boiling water in I the pot, stirring all the while. If you do this there will be no lumps. Nursery furniture should never be upholstered, as it catches and holds dust. A rug is also an unnecessary article and an endless source of falls. | Have the corners of the table well rounded and place the lamp in a high bracket, if you wish your children to I escape maYiy of the usual nurseVy accidents. ' Never turn boiled puddings out of .the pan the moment they are taken from the lire. They are very liable to break if this is done. Let them stand for a few minutes until soirn of the steam has evaporated and you will find that they will turn out easily. When baking bread if the oven bakes so that the upper crust is brown and the lower is still paid turn the bread upside down in the pan and leave it until the bottom is lightly browned. When you art- basting roast; beef a teaspoonful of brown or white sugar added to the gravy improves the flavor and color. Salt should never be added to stews, soups and boiled meats until they are cooked. If put in at first it toughens the fiber of the meat and takes out the juices. Add h pinch of ileum of tartar if you arc beating1 whites of eggs to a froth. They will froth much more quickly and will stand up beautifully. Ammonia and water in equal pro portions will remove varnish from furniture. When frying doughnuts have a dish of boiling water on the stove be side the kettle of fat and as you take the doughnuts out of J he fat immerse them quickly in the water. They will not be greasy. It metal teapots are not used for some time they are likely to become musty. This may be prevented by dumping a lump of sugar into the pot before putting it' away. When poaching eggs try adding a teaspoonfu! of \-n.^ar to the water, vinegar helps to set the white and keeps it from spreading. To soften putty, break it into lumps about the size of a hen's egg. Put the pieces into an iron vessel or kettle with a small quantity of linseed oil about a tablespoon for each quart of putty). Add water enough to cover the putty entirely and boil the mix ture ten minutes, giving it one good ?tirring while hot. I>et cool, pour off water, and it will be like fresh putty. If you understand what you're trying to do your job is half done. See William S. Hart in "Sinj^er Jim McKee" at the Majestic Theatre Friday, March 28th. Also * "Oar G*ng" comedy. T.L. M imnauqh 4 Co.
