American Invention Is Great Improve- ment on the Old Variety. American sho‘ck'absorbing helmets are now being worn by United States soldiers in Ffance, and although they were only tecently'perfected, the arm- ies of the allies have already adopted The knuckle or end of the leg of veal may be made into an attractive dish for hot weather by the aid of gelatine, instead of serving it as a stew, which is more appetizing for a cool day. ' Lamb can be used in the Same way. To prepare a delicious jellied loaf, trim and wash the meat and barely cover with cold water, add a few whole cloves, an onion, parsley or driedcelery leaves, and one teaspoonâ€" ful of salt for each quart of water. Cook gently fqr two hours or until the bones may be slipped out. Drain the broth from the meat and let it cook again, uncovered, until reduced Where ice is not available, gelatine may be\t\sed to give form not only to desserts but to meat loaves or salads. Why spend hours' in a hot kitchen}. making cakes, pies and fancy desserts when fresh fruit is more abundant, than at any other time of the year?; ‘Try to plan to haVe as few hot dishes: as possible and yet. have something; warm at each meal. Plan all threeg meals at once and “dovetail” them to- save handling the same materials and.1 utensils twice a day. l Few foo'ds should stand over twenty-four hours without scalding to kill germs that maybe present. Meat with gravy, reheated in a pie crust, or a salad or meat loaf can become so germ-infected as to cause severe illâ€" ness. The housemother may suc- cumb first to the poison created by the germs. because she has worked 'hard and eaten carelessly. It is well for her to try to keep cool in mind and body during the busy, trying days' 0 August. ' While food is cooling, uncovered or- standing exposed to the air, spores or germs of molds and ferments acnterl nd the warmth present causes their‘ rapid “multiplication. Food should, therefore, be cooled as quickly as posâ€" sible and never left standing in a hot-i kitchen or unprotected anywhere. ItI is wise to put soup or stewed fruit into two dishes instead of one that they may more rapidly cool and be puti away. ' i _ Do not trust too mach to the re- frigerator to keep foods in good condi- tion. If trouble-making germs have settled on meat} dessert, milk or but- ter before they reach the cooler, their multiplication may be delayed but the temperature of the ice box, being be- low freezing, is not such as to render them harmless and if through lack of ice, it warms up, a dangerous change in the f00ds is easily brought about. The high temperature and moisture usually present in August afi'ord just the condition under which bacteria grow. We need. therefore, to be very careful] how and what we eat.

' Fruit juices for use later in‘jelly making can be sterilized and bottled ‘without sugar and made into jellies at the housewife’s convenience. This ‘enable her to do with fewer jelly glasses and to distribute her pur- 'chases of sugar for jelly making through the year.

This liquid may be ,used to dissolve a small amount of Isoaked gelatine and then be poured ;over the meat again. thus surround- ;ing it with jelly when it is cold. d1 To put up unsugared fruit juices for jelly making. proceed exactly as if jelly were to be made at the time. Cook=the Ifruits until they are soft and strain out the juice through a flannel bag. Heat and pour while hot into bottles lpreviously scalded. Fill _the bottles full, leaving no air space between juice and cork or seal. Place the filled sealed bottles on their sides in water near the boiling point. and keen them in the bath for about thirty minutes. Make sure that the corked or sealed end is under the hot water, cover the cork with a paraffin seal. Thorough sterilization and seal- ing are absolutely essential to success. To make jelly from the sterilized juice, test its jelling quality, add the proper amount of sugar, and proceed as in making jelly from freshly ex- pressed juice. When meat broth is lacking as a foundation for the jelly, strained to- mato may be used. or celery or even cucumber may be cooked and strained and seasoned. This is a fine way to put in attrac- tive shape the last_bi§s of’a roast of meat m- of a boiled ham, instead of using them for hash or a hot meat loaf.

No matter how tired she was, she always foused herself to go in search of mother’s spectacles; no matter how interesting the game, she hunted for the lost needle or pin. But mother also said that, charming as that touch would be,«it was an ex- pensive one in time of war. Elizabeth he'rself must give it to her almost bald-headed darling. War time or not, Elizabeth could do errands and perform certain new duties that in time would earn enough money to buy the longedâ€"for wig. Mother agreed that it would give Mary Jane just the added touch that she most sadly needed in order to be- come a truly delightful dolly. Elizabeth asked mother whether it would be wise to buy a new wig for her cherished Mary Jane ~21 wig of real hair; a wig that would curl na- turally and that should be brown in- stead of yellow. The hair of Mary Jane, who was Elizabeth’s favorite doll, was falling out at an alarming rate. Elizabeth brushed it, shambooed it, and even used father’s hair tonic on it. Yet the little ivory brush collected more and more glistening threads of g‘ofld and the head of poor Mary Jane be- came more and mnre _b:\1i' So hearken to me, little lassie, g And laddie with anger-flushed cheek.
