The stock must then be strained and uncovered in a cool place the fat may be more easily removed. The bones, meat and vegetables are sometimes cooked a second time with more water to make what is known as "second stock," not so strong as the first, but better than water for thick soups, sauces and gravies. If a highly flavored and colored stock is wanted, the vegetables and meat are sometimes browned in a little fat before the water is added, but this is not advisable where a clear stock is desired. Beef is the •Cold water draw* the juices out of the meat into the liquid. water harden* the outside of the meat and prevents the juices being given off. most commonly for brown and veal or chicken with a little ham for white stock. Cooked meats and the trimmings from steaks and roasts may be added to the other ingredients in the stock-pot, but have not the same food value as fresh Stock should never be left to cool in the stock-pot, but always removed to a clean, cold vessel and left uncovered in a cool place till wanted for use. All marrow be removed from the bones before cooking. It can be used to better advantage in other ways. For family use where fair sized joints are frequent, it should be rarely necessary to buy meat for soups, the bones and trimmings furnishing enough, with a judicious use of vegetables and flavorings, for ordinary use. The same rules, previously given, apply to the making of stock under these conditions if a little less water in proportion to the meat is used.

Few cooks realize the importance of cooking fresh vegetables as soon as possible after preparing them. Statistics show that in the case of potatoes, peeled and left soaking in water for several hours, the loss in nitrogenous matter was 50 per cent, and in mineral matter 40 per cent; while when placed at once in boiling water after peeling, they lost only 8 per cent and 19 per cent respectively, during the cooking. Steamed vegetables lose only about one-third as much food value as when immersed in boiling water, but more fuel is used as they cook more slowly. The greatest changes occur when are the swelling and bursting of starch grains, softening of cellular tissue and development of flavors and odors; while if the cooking is too long continued, flavor and odor are partly or entirely lost.

IN making pastry the best results are obtained by having all the ingredients as cold as possible, and keeping them so till the pastry goes into the oven. It is the sudden change in temperature, as much as the actual ingredients used, that makes pastry light. If soft and lukewarm are the result must be poor pastry—tough and not appetizing. For plain or a of lard and butter should be used; for very plain crusts, lard and good beef drippings; but for puff paste, butter must be used. It is often desirable to have pastry that is flaky and tender without too rich, and result can be attained by the addition of a

the reduction amount of fat used. Where a rule calls for one and one-half cups of flour and two-thirds of a cup of fat— lard or butter— the housekeeper may take half a cup of fat and a teaspoonful of Rumford Baking Powder to the cup and a half of flour, and have equally good results as to appearance and flavor, at much less expense. All paste is better if chilled before it is baked. If convenient it should be made the day before it is to be used. In making pies always put the sugar with the fruit — not on top — or the crust will be soggy. A marble or slate pastry-board and a glass or china rolling-pin are the best for pastry, because of their coldness; but if the ordinary utensils are cold, good results will be obtained.

TO insure good frozen desserts it is necessary to use the best ingredients, the ice and salt in the right proportions and to freeze at the proper rate of speed. Always boil sugar and water together to a syrup for ices, as melts the sugar thoroughly and gives body to the ices. When cream is the foundation for the dessert, scald it, and add the sugar to the scalding cream. When a custard is used as the base of the frozen mixture, cook eggs and milk in a double boiler. Do not add flavoring till all ingredients are quite cold, as extracts are volatile and lose much of their strength if added to a hot mixture.

When fruit is used do not add it till the mixture is about frozen; also be sure all is thoroughly mashed, or it will freeze too hard. Use about one cup of or macaroons to one quart of cream, and allow room for the cream to expand — one and one-half pints being sufficient for a quart freezer. Crush the ice and mix with the salt before packing it around the freezer can. For Ice Cream use one part of salt to three parts of ice by measure.

The longer the sugar and water are cooked together the heavier the syrup will be. without stirring, to prevent crystallizing. As a general rule reaching boiling point be to sterilize fruits, with the exception of very seedy ones, such as currants, which will take a little longer owing to the viscous nature of the substance surrounding the seeds.

It must be remembered that too long boiling destroys the jellying principle; consequently the fruit must not be allowed to cook longer than If the sugar is heated after measuring, the jelly will be clearer and jell more quickly. The heating can be done while the fruit juice is coming to the Jellies made by the Cold Process are the most delicate, but are not likely to keep quite as well as when and are The method followed is the same as for ordinary jelly so far as the cooking, straining and measuring fruit and juice are concerned. The sugar— pound for pint— is added to the strained juice and dissolved; the sterilized glasses filled, and covered with sheets of glass to keep out the dust and attract the rays of the sun, and the jellies in a sunny set. They are then covered according to directions given. There are three methods in common use: Dip a round of paper in either alcohol or brandy, lay it on top of the jelly as soon as it is cold and then put the tin cover of the glass over the top. Dip a round of paper in slightly-beaten white of egg, cover the glass with this and press down paper adheres The paper must be enough to overlap the top of the glass at least half an inch on all sides. Cover the jelly, when cold, with melted paraffine wax, having the wax quarter of an inch thick as it contracts when cold, and if too thin a portion of the jelly will be left uncovered. Make a syrup of the sugar with just enough water to prevent burning and add the lemon, or ginger if Cut the rhubarb two-inch lengths and cook in the syrup gently to prevent breaking. It is better to cook a small quantity at a time.

THE food eaten by a sick person has in many cases as much to do rapid recovery as have drugs. It must be remembered that the palate is more sensitive in sickness than in health, both to seasonings and temperatures, so that less seasoning and more moderate degrees of heat and cold must be observed. Daintiness in serving greatly influences the appetite of the patient, and, therefore, for this reason it is preferable to serve small portions and present the meal by courses rather than place all on the tray at one time. Have all hot beverages brought to the door of the sick room in a covered pitcher, then poured into the cup, thus avoiding the danger of spilling liquids into the saucer while carrying them to the patient. Food should not be kept in the sick room between meals. It be fresher and appetizing if brought direct from storeroom or refrigerator when wanted. When liquid foods are given, other receptacles than those for medicine should be used, as the association of the two is oftentimes unpleasant. the dietary is limited, serve the foods that are permitted, in as many forms as to avoid sameness. For instance, beef tea may be given hot in the form of beef essence— as savory jelly, frozen, and as beef tea custard; practically the same food but palatable because served in different forms. Be very careful to keep such foods as milk, beef tea, etc., covered while in the refrigerator, to avoid contact with other or more odorous foods.
