FOR LADIES ONLY

HERE IS SOMETHING CURIOUS.

Read only alter-

You are probably

busy and may

skip the rest.

IF YOU wish to be considered a model housekeeper you must

take care when furnishing your future home that you

spend your money to the best advantage, and it is specially

necessary if your income is to be a limited one. . . It is

advisable that you should provide yourself with thoroughly

reliable kitchen utensils and cooking appliances. You should buy

good household requisites, selected from an up-to-date stock. The

newly-married hubby is interested in his wife's cooking, and

meals which are prepared by the aid of the best utensils

are likely to prove the most satsifactory to him. They certainly

are easiest to get ready, and save considerable worry. If you

agree with our views on this subject, and if you think that you

would like to inspect some of the latest cooking appliances

we can recommend a visit to our showrooms. At any time

we shall be delighted to show you our stock, and

feel confident that we have much to interest you. If you wish us

to explain the merits of our goods to you and to your friends,

please favor us with a call at your early convenience.

Ho, ye mortals, we are bringing

You a message of good cheer,

Of a COOK BOOK we would tell you

Chant its praises far and near,

If its precepts you but follow

Best of health will then be yours.

Recipes we've tried and proven

Length of days for each insures.

O, the cakes are light and puffy,

From the Sponge to Angel Food,

And the custards are so fluffy

Pies and puddings just as good.

Then there are the meats and entrees,

And so many hosts of things

You'll pronounce when you have tried them

This is food for queens and kings.

Then, "O, wonder of a COOK BOOK!"

In amaze we hear you cry

"It not only teaches cooking

But advises where to buy!"

SOUPS.

"Now good digestion wait on appetite, and health on both."

--Shakespeare.

Oyster Soup.

One quart oysters, one quart milk, one pint strained liquor

of oysters and cold water. Add this with a little salt and large

piece of butter to the milk, let it come to a boil, add oysters,

and let it boil up once.

MRS. J. M. SYCKS.

Potato Soup.

Six boiled and mashed potatoes, one quart milk, one-fourth

pound butter; season with pepper and salt. While mashing, add

the butter and pour in the boiling milk gradually. Stir well,

and strain through a sieve, heat once more. Beat up an egg,

put in tureen, and pour over it the soup.

MISS ANNA G. SYCKS.

Bean Soup.

Rub one pint cooked beans through a colander, add one

pint of milk. Let it boil, then add a little flour thickening, with

salt, pepper and butter to suit the taste. Mashed potatoes left

over may be used in the same way.

Corn Soup.

Twelve ears corn scraped, and the cobs boiled twenty min-

utes in one quart water. Remove the cobs, put in the corn and

boil fifteen minutes, then add two quarts of rich milk. Season

with salt, pepper and butter, and thicken with two tablespoon-

fuls flour. Boil the whole ten minutes, and turn into a tureen,

in which the yolks of three eggs have been well beaten.

MRS. W. W. DAVIES.

Noodles.

One egg, one tablespoonful milk, salt, one-half teaspoonful

Cleveland's baking powder in the flour. Mix very stiff. Roll out

as thin as possible. Let it dry an hour. Dredge with flour to

keep from sticking, then roll up tightly. Begin at one end and

shave down fine like cabbage for slaw. Use in any meat broth.

MRS. M. E. CALHOUN.

Tomato Soup.

One part tomatoes strained through a colander; one part hot

water, two parts milk. Put in a pinch of soda before adding

milk, and as much butter as you would use in oyster soup.

Let all heat but not boil. Add a few crackers broken. Serve

hot.

MRS. W. A. SMITH.

Vegetable Soup.

Get a five cent soup bone. Put on to boil in about four

quarts of cold water, salt and pepper to season; boil until tender.

Then take out the meat and strain the broth, to which add one

onion, two potatoes chopped fine, one-half cup rice, one cup cab-

bage chopped fine, one cup tomatoes; boil one and one-half

hours. Serve hot.

MRS. T. W. CRABBE.

FISH AND MEATS.

"There's no want of meats, sir,

Portly and curious viands are prepared,

To please all kinds of appetite."

Baked White Fish.

Pour boiling water over the fish to loosen the skin, remove

the skin and rub corn meal or cracker crumbs thickly over the

fish, season well with salt and pepper. Put in a pan with plenty

of butter cut in small pieces over it. Bake twenty minutes,

basting frequently.

MRS. J. M. ARMSTRONG.

Salmon Pudding.

One can salmon minced, all oil poured off; one cup fine bread

crumbs, three eggs well beaten. Salt and pepper to taste. Put in

a baking bowl, set in a dripping pan filled with water, put in

oven and steam one hour.

SAUCE.--Let come to a boil one cup milk, thicken with one

tablespoonful Kingford's starch, one egg well beaten and the

juice of one-half lemon.

MRS. LUCY PATTEN.

Escalloped Oysters.

To one quart star crackers rolled fine, add one quart oysters,

one-fourth pound butter slightly melted, three-fourths quart

milk and hot water, half and half. Season nicely with salt and

pepper and stir thoroughly with large spoon. Bake in a moder-

ately hot oven about forty-five minutes, or until brown. Any

kind of cooked meat chopped fine can be substituted for oysters

and makes a very palatable dish.

Drop Dumplings.

One cup flour, a pinch of salt, one teaspoonful Cleveland's

baking powder; sift all together, then take enough sweet milk

to make a stiff dough. This will make five nice sized dump-

lings. Have some beef or chicken broth boiling hot, dip a

tablespoon in the broth to prevent it sticking, cut off a piece of

the dough and drop in boiling broth. Repeat process until all

is used, wetting spoon each time. Boil ten minutes; as soon

as the lid is removed, take a fork and open the top of each

one to prevent falling. Serve with butter or gravy.

MISS CYNTHIA SMITH.

Economy Croquettes.

Rightly made, this combination of "left-overs," which are

too good to waste, is nice for breakfast or supper. Mince cold

meat finely, either pork or beef; to one-half teacup of this add

as much, or more, of cold rice and mashed potatoes. Break six

or eight crackers in a dish and wet with just enough sweet milk

to soak them; then mix all together, adding a well beaten egg,

and a pinch of salt and pepper. Flour the hands and make

into cakes the size of small cookies; fry until nicely browned

on both sides. Serve with butter.

MISS MARY R. SMITH.

Veal Croquettes.

Chop cold veal fine, season with salt, pepper, cayenne, onion

juice, celery salt and parsley, moisten with beaten egg and white

sauce (see below) and shape into rolls four inches long. Roll

in fine bread crumbs, egg, and crumbs again, and fry as dough-

nuts one minute in smoking hot fat.

WHITE CREAM SAUCE.--One pint hot cream, one-half tea-

spoonful salt, two tablespoonfuls butter, one-half teaspoonful

celery salt, one-half saltspoonful white pepper, four heaping

tablespoonfuls flour or two heaping tablespoonfuls Kingsford's

corn starch. Scald the cream, melt the butter in a granite sauce-

pan, stir till well mixed, add the cream gradually, stirring as it

thickens. The sauce should be perfectly smooth and very thick,

almost like a drop batter. Add seasoning and mix while hot

with the meat.

Little Meat Pies.

Line gem pans with biscuit dough made with Cleveland's

baking powder. Make gravy with meat stock if you have it; if

not, use one teacupful half milk and water, one tablespoonful

butter, a little flour, pepper and salt, one teacup meat chopped

fine. Cook all together. Fill pans with the mixture, and cook

fifteen minutes.

MISS FIDELIA PERKINS.

Pressed Beef.

Use half thick flank, and half second cut off the neck.

Boil until very tender, pick out all bones and gristle, and set

aside to cool. When cold chop fine, season to taste with salt,

pepper and ground celery seed. To each ten pounds of meat,

add one pint of very dry bread or cracker crumbs rolled fine.

The broth having become cold, remove all the grase. Heat the

broth, strain to remove bones, and add sufficient to the meat to

make it moist enough to pack smoothly. It should be prepared

the day before wanted for use. Set on ice. Slice very thin.

MRS. J. R. MOONEY.

Corned Beef Pickle.

One gallon water, one and one-half pounds salt, one-half

pound brown sugar, one-fourth ounce salt petre. Be sure to

keep meat under the brine.

MRS. J. A. CLINGAN.

Dainty Veal Steak.

Cut veal steak in pieces large enough for each person.

Have ready one egg well beaten and highly seasoned with pep-

per and salt; also five or six crackers rolled, (not too fine). Dip

veal in egg, first on one side, then on the other; repeat same

process with cracker crumbs; then fry in butter and lard,

which should be boiling hot when veal is put in. Cover closely

at first. Let cook one-half hour, removing cover the last ten

minutes. This is delicate as chicken.

Veal Pie.

For a family of four two and one-half pounds veal steak.

Put in kettle with salt and pepper to taste, and water to cover

and boil a few minutes. Take four good sized potatoes cut in

squares, and two onions cut fine, boil until tender. Butter the

size of a small egg. Make a pastry the same as for biscuit.

Line your dish with this rolled quite thin. Put in the veal,

etc., and bake with a cover of crust until done.

MRS. T. W. CRABBE.

Stewed Chicekn.

Cut the chicken up, put into the kettle and cover with water.

Let it cook until tender, then make a thickening of cream and

flour. Add butter, pepper and salt. Have ready a nice short

cake, baked and cut into squares, rolled thin as for crust. Lay the

cakes on the dish, and pour the chicken and gravy over them

while hot.

MRS. W. W. DAVIES.

Smothered Beef.

Take a roast, salt and pepper it and place in a smothering

pan. Have oven hot enough for bread. A piece of beef four

inches thick requires two hours. If you do not have a smoth-

ering pan, use bread pan with a similar one for cover.

Beefsteak Smothered in Oysters.

One pound steak, one pint oysters. Steak fried brown

quickly on one side; turn and pour over it the oysters; season

with salt and pepper; cover and cook till the oysters curl at the

A Yankee Dish of Chicken.

Clean and joint a nice fat hen. Put to cook in two quarts

boiling water; when half cooked season with salt, pepper and

celery seed. Add boiling water as needed. When the chicken

is tender, you should have a pint of good broth. From this lift

the chicken and fry carefully in butter or dripping until nicely

browned. To the broth add a quart of milk. Take one egg,

two heaping tablespoonfuls flour, and a little milk; stir together

smoothly, and add to the boiling broth to make a nice gravy.

Season to suit. Take one dozen of the Favorite biscuit, split

and lay in the oven to dry and brown very slightly. Drop them

into the gravy, cover for ten minutes where they will keep hot,

but not boil. Dish and serve with the nicely browned chicken.

MRS. IDA M. WARD.

Fried Chicken.

Wash the chickens, cut them in pieces, rub a very little salt

over them, and roll each piece in flour. Put chicken in pan and

fry till a nice brown, in butter, adding at times a little hot water.

Make a gravy of cream and butter; if the cream is not very

thick add a little flour. Season to taste.

MRS. A. C. GRAY.

Chicken Pie.

Boil chicken until tender, (one a year old is best.) Thicken

gravy with flour, add one cup milk, and yolk of one egg well

beaten. Make a rich crust like soda biscuit. Do not have a

bottom crust, but put small bits of dough through the pie, then

pour gravy over and add top crust, rolled one inch thick, with

edge of crust cut in points and turned over. Before baking

brush top with yolk of egg, to make it a nice brown.

MRS. PHILIP PHILLIPS.

Or--Take chicken from the kettle, roll out crust and cut in

squares large enough to wrap each piece separately, pinching to-

gether like little turn-over pies. Bake in quick oven, and in

serving cover with the gravy.

One pound bread, crumbled fine, one-half pound butter

melted, two stalks celery chopped fine, salt and pepper to taste,

two quarts oysters, strained from their liquor, and carefully

picked over for bits of shell. Mix oysters with bread, and add

enough of their liquor to moisten stuffing well. Fill turkey,

MRS. J. M. SYCKS.

Baked Eggs.

Beat the whites of eggs to a stiff froth, salt slightly. Spread

roughly on a platter; make a small cavity for each yolk some

distance apart. Bake till the white is brown.

Boiled Eggs.

Put them on in cold water, and when it has boiled the eggs

will be done, the whites being soft and digestible, as they are

not when put on in boiling water.

Puff Omelet.

Stir into the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three

beaten very light, one tablespoonful flour mixed into tea cup of

cream or milk, with salt and pepper to taste; melt one table-

spoonful butter in a pan, pour in the mixture, set the pan into

Fill a large stone jar with ripe and perfect whole tomatoes,

adding a few cloves and a sprinkling of sugar between the

layers. Cover well with vinegar and water mixed, half and

half. Place a piece of thick flannel over the jar, letting it fall

well down into the vinegar. Then tie down with cover of brown

To every one hundred pickles one cupful of salt.

Pour over them boiling water to cover. Let it stand for

stand three days, then pour off the brine. Boil and skim and

pour on again boiling hot, (the more you boil the brine the bet-

ter it is); let them stand two days. Then take them out of the

brine and boil in one quart rain water to one pint vinegar. Take

out, dry with a towel, and pack in jars. Now boil the spices,

whole cloves and stick cinnamon in bags, in one gallon vinegar;

two and one-half pounds brown sugar. Pour over the pickles

boiling hot. Skim off the cloves and cinnamon, and lay on top

of the pickles whole grains of white mustard seed, celery seed,

allspice, pieces of horse radish and one or two small red peppers

to each jar. Lay on top of each jar a green grape leaf. Cover

CAKES.

A labor-saving way of making cake is to measure out the

sugar, flour and baking powder that the recipe calls for, and sift

all together several times. Beat the required number of eggs,

soften the butter, but do not melt it, add the milk and flavoring,

stir in the above mixture and beat five minutes. Place the loaf

in a well heated oven and bake until done. When cut you will

find a fine-grained, light, delicious cake, with half the usual

labor.

White Cake. No. 1.

1 cupful butter,

2 cupfuls sugar,

3 cupfuls flour,

Whites of 4 eggs,

nilla.

Bake in square pan and cut in squares. Chocolate icing for

same: two cupfuls granulated sugar; cover with hot water and

two eggs, beaten stiff, and beat; add two squares of Baker's

chocolate grated, and continue beating until cool enough to

spread on the cake.

CANDIES AND CONFECTIONS.

Candy should not be stirred while boiling. Cream of tartar

should not be added until the syrup begins to boil. Butter

should be put in when candy is almost done. Flavors are more

delicate when not boiled in candy, but added afterward.

Unboiled Cream Candy.

Take the white of an egg, an equal quantity of water or

cream, and enough confectioner's sugar to make a firm but not

hard paste. This forms the basis for many kinds of home-made

candies.

MRS. W. A. SMITH.

Peanut Candy.

Five cents worth of peanuts, one teacupful granulated

sugar. Put the sugar without any water in a hot skillet and

stir constantly till the sugar is melted. Remove from the fire

and pour over the peanuts while there are yet a few fine grains

of sugar in it, or it will have a burnt taste.

MISS FIDELIA PERKINS.

Everton Taffy, With White Sugar.

Put two cupfuls granulated sugar in a saucepan with a cupful

sugar is dissolved add the butter, and keep stirring the mixture

over the fire until it sets, when a little is poured on a buttered

dish. Just as it is done add six drops of essence of lemon.

Butter a tin, pour on the mixture, one-fourth to one-half inch

thick, and when cool it will easily separate from the dish. Mark

off in squares, if you wish it to break easily.

Ice Cream Candy

Two cupfuls granulated sugar, one-third cupful boiling

water and one-third teaspoonful cream of tartar. When the

sugar begins to boil add cream of tartar dissolved in a little boil-

ing water and boil ten minutes; then try by dropping some in

cold water. If it is hard when you strike the cup, add a small

piece of butter and remove from the fire. Flavor while working.

2 cupfuls sugar,

Put sugar, nuts and water together, and when boiling well,

add chocolate and butter. When it becomes crisp--test by

dropping into cold water--remove from fire, flavor and beat

until it stiffins. Pour on buttered plate, and immediately check

off in squares with a sharp knife.

Popcorn Balls.

Dissolve one ounce white gum Arabic in one-half pint of

a little is cooled in a saucer, it becomes so thick as to be stir-

red with difficulty. Pour the hot liquid over half a bushel of

freshly popped corn, and when well mixed the kernels will ad-

here in a mass; form into balls by pressing with the hands

slightly dusted with flour. If ordinary molasses is used, no

gum Arabic is necessary, but the latter is used for the popcorn

ball of commerce.

space of two inches between them. Shape quickly, making

them either round or oblong. Bake in a moderate oven about

twenty minutes. When done a very delicate brown, take from

the board, turn bottom side up, and with a knife carefully press

in the center of each. Make any amount you wish, as they

will keep any length of time. When you wish to serve, they

may be filled with whipped cream, and two halves pressed

together.

Macaroons.

Into the beaten whites of four eggs stir one pound confec-

1/2 canful shredded pineapple

2 lemons,

3 cupfuls sugar,

4 cupfuls water.

Boil the sugar and water, and when cool add the pineapple

and juice of lemons. When partly frozen, beat well, and add

the well-beaten whites of two eggs. Freeze until fine and firm.

MRS. L. E. WINTER.

A Nest of Easter Eggs.

Calf's foot or gelatine jelly, blanc mange, preserved lemon

peel and egg shells. Color the jelly a bright yellow, by soaking

dried saffron blossoms in the water; quarter the lemon rinds,

trim all the white out of them, slice in long strips about the

width of a straw, boil in water until tender, throw into a thick

syrup, and boil until clear, then drain on a sieve. Make a good

blanc mange, divide, color one-third pink with flavor or candy

coloring, color one-third green with flavor or candy coloring,

leave one-third white. Take as many eggs as you wish in the

nest, make a hole in the large end of each, pour out the eggs,

wash and drain the shells; set them in a basin of salt to fill,

pour the blanc mange slowly through a funnel to avoid air bub-

bles; set in a cool place to harden. When ready to serve break

up the jelly and pie on a flat round dish. Shape the next by

setting a deep bowl in the middle, and putting the jelly around

it; let stand awhile, if the jelly seems inclined to fall in the

nest. Scatter the lemon strips over the top and sides like

straws; remove egg shells carefully from blanc mange, and fill

the nest wtih them. Nests for one egg can be made by using a

cup instead of a bowl, to mold jelly.

Delicious Fruit Drink.

One pint apple juice (from stewed apples), one teacupful

cranberry juice (berries stewed and juice pressed out as if to

make jelly), juice of two lemons, two oranges and four bananas.

Slice bananas a few hours beforehand; sprinkle sugar on them,

and press out the sweetened juice. Add sufficient water to

make a gallon or five quarts of the mixture, and sweeten to suit

the taste. A few drops of pineapple flavoring should be added

the last thing. Apple and peach juice can be sealed up during

the canning season, and opened as needed.

MARY R. SMITH.

White or Trout Fish, Sweet or Sour.

Salt the fish the day previous; put slices of onion on the

bottom of kettle; lay the fish upon this, adding water to barely

cover; add a piece of fresh butter, a few slices of lemon and a

dash of vinegar; also a few cloves. Let the fish boil uncov-

ered, and in the meantime soak a few ginger snaps in a very

little vinegar; add a handful of raisins, also a handful of pounded

almonds and some ground cinnamon; sweeten with a handful of

brown sugar. By this time your fish will be ready to turn, then

add the sauce and allow the fish to boil a few minutes longer.

Taste; if too sour add more sugar. Take up the fish carefully,

lay on a platter and let the sauce boil until thickened a little,

then pour over the fish. Eat warm or cold.

HINTS FOR THE SICK ROOM.

Hot, dry wheat bran in a flannel bag is an excellent appli-

cation for lung or other trouble where wet poultices are not con-

venient. Hot salt is always good.

A cup of hot water taken four or five times a day is good

in cases of la grippe. Have the water as hot as can be taken.

A thin pillow of best cotton covered with cheese cloth and

laid over the feather pillow is very restful to the sick. Also, to

have pillows of different sizes for propping the shoulders and

head is desirable.

Gargle for Sore Throat.

One teaspoonful of ammoniated tincture Guaiac in a cupful

of hot milk. Gargle every hour, or every half hour. Keep the

mixture hot. Will cure the worst case of sore throat.

To Allay a Tickling Cough.

One tablespoonful of ginger, two tablespoonfuls sugar, alum

the size of a hazelnut, pulverized. Mix thoroughly and take

one-fourth teaspoonful frequently till relieved.

For a Cough.

One pound of flaxseed, one-half pound rock candy; three

lemons pared and sliced; over this pour two quarts boiling

watear; let it stand till very cold. Strain before drinking.

For cold in the head, ten drops of camphor in a half glass

of water. Take dessertspoonful every twenty minutes.

SOUDERS' 10 cent Lemon and 15 cent Vanilla Extracts are guaranteed

fully equal to many other brands at double the price.

Splendid for Rheumatism.

One ounce origanum, one ounce aqua ammonia, one ounce

laudanum, one-half ounce spirits turpentine; mixed at the drug-

gist's. Three fresh eggs, one pint pure cider vinegar. Beat

the three eggs violently for a long time; the longer the better;

then pour the drugs into the beaten eggs a small stream at a

time, beating hard all the time, then the vinegar in the same

way. This is excellent for a sprain, or stitch in the back, and

for rheumatism that does not swell.

MRS. ELMER HILLS.

Wash for Tired or Weak Eyes.

One teaspoonful pulverized borax, one teaspoonful of salt,

one pint boiling water; let it stand until cool; drain; put in

bottle for use. Better results are obtained by using hot to bathe

the eyes three or four times a day.

FOOD FOR THE SICK.

To Prepare an Egg.

Beat an egg until very light, add seasoning to the taste, and

then steam until thoroughly warmed through, but not hardened;

this will take about two minutes. An egg prepared in this way

will not distress a sensitive stomach.

Egg Appetizer.

Into one-half glass of milk stir the well beaten white of an

egg; then add juice of cherries or of other fruits for flavoring.

This is nourishing, as well as palatable for the sick.

Cherryade.

Sweeten cherry juice to taste, boil and can. A teaspoon-

ful in a glass of water is very refreshing and allays a cough.

A Dish for Invalids.

One-fourth pound best beefsteak; chop fine; season with

pepper and salt more than for ordinary cooking; add in bits one

teaspoonful butter. Place in a bowl over boiling teakettle; stir

constantly till the blood is just set, which you can tell by its

light color. If kept a moment too long, till the juice starts it

will be hard and dry. It should be just hot, juicy and tender,

and eaten at once.

Cornmeal Gruel.

To one pint boiling water add one tablespoonful of corn-

meal, a pinch of salt, and boil twenty minutes.

Gluten Bread.

Make a stiff dough with flour and water using all the flour

that can be worked in. Put the dough into a quantity of water,

handling it over till all the starch is dissolved out, changing the

water frequently. Salt the dough, by pulling and working in

the salt. Have the oven very hot at first. Break off pieces the

size of a hickorynut, place then a little apart in baking pan and

bake.
