To Salt Down String Beans.
For this the large, flat, “meaty" and
hicy beans are best—beans having

String the beans from both ends,
pash thoroughly, and then with a
pinup, small knife proceed to cut them
pp in small bias slices—about 1%
Inches long and one-quarter inch thick.
Hold the bean in left hand and begin
gut on top, cutting on a slant toward
yourself. A little practice and this can

«’the ordinary way, but results are so
such more satisfactory that the extra
_ dime and effort are amply Justified.

Ilse salt with a liberal hand, and pack

using your lists for the purpose. Pack
' each layer as it is cut. so as to have

Next, cover with a clean white cot-
ton cloth, tucking in the edges all
around. place a plate over the cloth—:
as large a plate as will fit in the
crock-and over that put another
piece of clean white cotton cloth. On

Avoiding Waste.
To buy and cook large quantities
of food purposely to secure left-
overs would be foolish, but it is
equally unwise to throw away good
food that may be used in appetizing
and nourishing ways.
A properly cooked beefsteak can-
not be reheated in the same way nor
will it be digestible if allowed to
dry up in the oven. but if reheated
_in gravy or stock, or made into a
stew with vegetables, it differs little
from freshly cooked meat. ‘
Clear lean meat. freed from un-
ealabie portions, may be chopped
fine and serve with gravy on toast,
or it may be put in a dish, covered
with boiled rice or mashed potatoes
or buttered crumbs and baked or
made into hash with potatoes and
other vegetables. Meat should be
scolded if there is danger of its
spoiling. The bones and tough
pieces that cannot be eaten may be
covered with cold water and cooked
gently for an hour or two. This is
worth doing with even a small quan.
tity. for half a cup of broth will
flavor a vegetable hash or soup.
Leftover vegetables may be used in
soups and salads. Remainder of
gravy, creamed or plain vegetables,
herbs. bones and trimmings of meat,
with an ingenious use of seasonings,
will keep up the soup supply on prac-
tically no extra outlay. Enough
vegetables or certain kinds may be
cooked one day to serve the next day
in an appetising scalloped food or in
a cream soup. ' A combination of the
left over vegetables of two days
often will make a delicious salad.
Bread may be toasted, steamed or
reheated in a common paper bag in'
the oven. Corn bread, graham
other fortus of bread may all fie
treated in this way. Toast div
'bread and put in a tin box to been
like crackers for use with minced
meat and gravy or a cheese dish. All
broken bread, first thoroughly dried
and then put through a meat chop
per and sifted, will furnish a fine
crumb and a coarser size will not go,
through the sieve. These coarse,
crumbs may be used for stalling or‘
for scalloped dishes. When using.
melt one or two level tablespoonfuis
of ‘butter or other fat and stir the
crumbs through it. On scalloped
fish or meat the crumbs fortn a
brown crisp crust. ;
, if bread is merely dry, is it not
easier to steam or toast it than to
make fresh bread? wut u not take'
less effort to cream potatoes than.
to boil or bake fresh ones? Soft-
bolled eggs left from breakfast may.
be cookéd twenty minutes more and}
are then ready for salad, lunches or.
to use in garnishing. Even a ta-lo-j
spoonful of meat, gravy orgchoice.‘
vegetables may be folded into ans
omelet, adding not alone a change!
of flavor, 1'11 as much nutriment as
an additional egg.
All surplus milk is usable. Fresh
milk carefully scalded will keep for
another day. Sour milk is always,
'useful in making muffins, pancakes.
biscuits, etc. .if there is enough, a'
Dutch cheese may be made} ,1
