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.
