B445 Success With tiuhs itute Flours. , Almost every Red Cross 'meeting I resolves itself sooner oz latex into al cooking exchange, for naturallyi housewives of the present time arel concerned to use the supplies assail -1 as successfully' as possible. We.{ often hear complaints about the; substitute flours making the food; " hard, dr tough, or coarse grained or' eakes,-.fa11. There is a reason for! all this, and if we consider the matter a few minutes we will surely see why., Most' of our old tried and Crilel recipes call for wheat flour. Nowa- days we have to substitute other 1 flours, and it takes experience or ex -1 act standards of measurements • to know how much substitute to put in: for a cupful of wheat. Experimentsprove that substitute cereal flours (not potato flour) and brans absorb -the same amount of moisture as wheat end. require the same amount of yeast or baking pow- der to leaven them. By amount I mean "weight" not "measure," That is where so manypeople are deceived and wonder wiry their results axe not good; so remember if you want to l use substitute flours you can do so with success, if you use an equal; weight of corn flour, cornmeal, buck- wheat, rice, or rye flour as the recipe - called for in wheat flour. A cup of wheat flour which has been sifted and measured in ' a half pint cup, being piled in lightly until the cup is even full, weighs four ounces;' Let u ke'thia as our standardmes- e sits 5urentent. Two-thirds of a cup of rolled oats ground through a food chopper, four-fifths of a cup of rice flour, four-fifths of a cup of buckwheat, four-fifths of a cup of coarse cornmeal, one Cup of fine corn-' meal, one and one-third cups of bar- ley flour, one level cup of corn flour, er.ch weighs four ounces. So 11 your x ripe calls for half a cup of wheat flour, you can use corn flour in its place, or only two-fifths of a cup of r`.ace flour, or one-third of a cup of. ground roiled oats. Measure for measure the substitutes do not pro- duce the same results, but weight they may be interchanged, not with the same results as to appearance and taste, but as to success in lightneea and moisture. As we are likely to have to use substitutes for a long time, these are very important points to remember, Some Practical Suggestions, When you have a stain which you think is tea, fruit, or of unknown origin and it has been boiled in- and "set" try removing it with javelle tester. You can get javello water at the drug store. Put one tablespoon- ful into 'hall a cupful of water. Im- merse the stain in this and leave for twenty- minutes or half an hour. Ifs it has disappeared altogether, wash the javel'le water out of the cloth with clear water, as to leave it in will weaken the fabric. If the stale bete only partly disappeared put it in a while longer. If yroer gasoline or eoaI oil stove' shows signs of rusting anti begins to look shabby, although it is still quite flew, go to the stove company and get a bottle of thekind of oil especially` prepared for the care of such appar- atus, Follow directions and you will keep your stove looking like. new. . Wheal preparing french -fried pota- toes cut them in even sections, pre- ferably eighths. Soak them .half an hour in cold water. Drain, turnboil- ing water, over them and lot stand two minutes. ' Drain again, dry with a cheesecloth. Ilave the fat just hot enough that it gives off a thin blue haze, Drop the dry potatoes in and. they will •rook quickly, be Crisp on the outside, tender and delicious. As fat is expensive now, it is well to remember that a ,small, deep cotf- tainer will take less material and an- swer quite es well fpr the average family' as a broad vessel which re- quires more fat to give the necessary depth. French -fry potatoes occa- sionally in the -kettle kept for deep frying. This will clarify it ancl, with the addition of a very little drippings, will give enough clear, pure material for family frying. When canning Vegetables this sum- mer, such as asparagus, beans and peas, the three -period method may be shortened to a single period of one and one-half hours if the vegetables are blanched by dipping in boiling water three minutes, then chilled in cold water, packed into clean sterile cans and covered with boiling water to which a teaspoonful of salt and a tablespoonful of vinegar have been added. Partly clamp down the top. Cools one and one-half hours in a water bath which comes within an inch of the top of the cans. Cover so that the Item will steeilize the tops. Remove from the water bath at once when the period is up. Open the cats, fill any space left by shrinkage, put on the covers at once, clamp tightly, set in a cool room. Do not let eoolein a hot kitchen. In the winter if you desire to cook these vegetables with milk, either turn off the liquid con- taining the trace of vinegar or add a pinch of soda. This prevents the flat taste so maty vegetables have and aids the keeping qualities. Use Wheat Substitute. Are you insisting on getting wheat substitutes from your, grocer and are you, as a housekeeper, trying them out in your kitchen? There is no use saying they are not available be- cause with possible •exceptions in eome districts, they are, and if your dealer does not carry them then that is bisfault and yours. The largest substitute milling concern in Canada hos just been opened at Peterboro by the Quaker Oats Company. Corn- meal, eat flour, oatmeal 'and corn- flour will be turned out at the rate of 7,000 barrels' a day, ' The .darker the bread you have these days the more patriotic you are, so don't insist on getting light bread from your baker, On the contrary en- courage him to go even further than the regulations specify in the use of substi Lutes. TITRE IS IN DEMAND How Ireland is Supplying a Coal Substitute. The diversion -of ordinary shipping between the ports of the great coal- fields of England and the Irish ports to the needs .of the war has brought about a great scarcity in Ireland of many necessary articles, and most particularly of coal. Ireland is sup- posed to lemmas vest supplies of na- tive coal, but only in it few eases eve attempts being made to work it, and tren only in a small way. The rail- way to the Wolfhill Mine which is being constructed by the Government may not be completed for months, and this is the most extensively worked colliery in Ireland, Its normal out- put of coal is only about a thousand tons per week. - Formerly the dist areas of bog - land provided thousands of the peo- ple in rural districts with fuel, and quantities of it have been used in the towns; but effort s are now 1 ' Made to extend its use to every part of the Country. There is little doubt that these bogs, if worked on a large kale, souls! supply almost every liouseheld"1' 131)1) fuel, and Wally people have air•acly begun to lay in stores of ii in take Am piece of coal during the eonang 'sinter, On all the hogs seetteted over Ire. land hundreds of peaople are work- ing as they m ver worked before, try- ing to sleet the heavy demand foe turf, and the dealers are now reaping a rich harvest, for they are charging the consumers more than twice the old price.
