Mr. Plumsteel also congratulated
the girls for the fine gardens that
they were successful in having this

'time grocery store have been superseded by
sanitary packaged goods backed by the good name
of their maker. The sliced, wrapped loaf of bread
and the can of soup or fruit have eliminated hours of
kitchen drudgery. Modern bathrooms,. furnaces, and
electric appliances, have swept away inefficient,
laborious methods. The motor car has revolution-
ized our way of life.
Advertising has played a part in these advances,
because advertising has made mass production pos-
sible, and mass production has brought the can of
soup, the electric washer and the motor car within
every family's reach.

advertising as an important part of its service to
the community.

Rudd.

the afternoon with Gladys Collins
assisting at the piano.
Since many of the second and
third, year girls have to can vege-
tables, Mrs. J. Hillebrecht gave a
demonstration on canning of beets
and beans in tin cans. This proved
most interesting, not only to the
Garden Club girls, but to their
mothers as well. After the canning
was completed, the cans were_dis-
tributed to the girls holding Iucky
numbers.
Mrs. Haugh conducted the busi
ness for the afternoon and remind-
ed the girls that their record books
were to be in by August 20.
Miss Kellough spoke to the girls
about the Achievement Day which
is to be held in Seaforth High
School on August 28. She suggedt-
ed different means for a reference
file and pointed out to the newer
members Brow judging was carried
out on a day like this.
After the adjournment of the
rneeting indoors, everyone met out-
side for a few sports which were
under the supervision of Mrs. Hil-
lebrecht. The following are the
results: Small girls' race, Marion
Riehl, Susan Haugh, Marguerite

They still have two postponed
games to clean up. These will be

Hello homemakers! Inspiration
is what we need to overcome hard-
ships and extra work. Perhaps
some "quickies" concerning the
problems on the homemaking
agenda during this hot weather
may be helpful . Apply a little
insect repellent and then enjoy the
newspaper, columns in comfort.
Take a Tip
1. Do not try to wrap hot coffee
grounds in paper. Remember hot
coffee will stain linoleum and the
rubber pads -yet tea leaves and
coffee are good for the garden,
2. De lime a "coated" tea kettle
with some c ommercial scale re-
mover. The water will boil more
quickly and eliminate much heat
in the kitchen.
3. Oil the jelly tins and the
moulds will slip out all in one
piece.
4. Keep the jams, marmalades
and sugar containers tightly cover
ed since they coax ants . . , Kill
ants with borax or a commerci tl
preparation before they bring
their uncles aand cousins.
5. Put six or seven iterne's cf
rice in the salt shakers to keel
salt from caking.
6. Make a junket dessert wit'
leftover coffee and milk.
7. Place tomatoes in a hot oven
for a minute, skins will slip off
readily.
8. Keep rubber bands out of the
silverware drawer as they wil
Cause tarnish . You may save
polishing silver by covering tight-
ly with cellophane.
9. Wash glassware in the dish•
pan of water to which you add one
tablespoon. dry ammonia. only. Af-
•
terwards, add the detergent or soap
for the dishes.
10. Bake forks in a low tempera-
ture oven of 250 degrees for one
hour to remove fish flavor.
11. Gather nasturtiuhi seeds and
make your own 'papers by pickling
them as you do onions.
12. Soak small onions in milk,
then pickle them if you wish to
keep them white. For festive oc-
casions add red or green coloring
to the bottled onions before cap-
ping the jars.
13. To make ;hot mustard stir a
little milk into a teaspoon of dry
mustard. Keep the wee dish cov-
ered and it will not dry out.
14, For a delicious ham sand-
wich put cooked ham and walnuts
through the food chopper and mois-
ten with boiled salad dressing mix-
ed with a pinch of dry mustard.
The ham "goes', further and tastes
good.
15. Don't forget to scald the sil-
ver knife before you slide it into
the jar of fruit. Men place the
tops in position for canning.
16. Never chill the pressure
cooker with pars of preserved food
in it as you do the raw food for
the table. This forces the juices
out of the jar. It usually requires
40 to 50 minutes for pressure to
return normal in the pressure
saucepan off the heat.
17. Keep bread in the refrigera-
tor during the hot weather to pre-
vent mould.
18. Browned almondts will not
become wormy whereas unblanch-
-d nuts will, during the summer.
So bake the blanched nuts until
golden brown in a moderate oven,
let drain on absorbent paper, then
;tore.
19. Raisins or chopped dates
keep cookies moist and fresh. A
hermit or drop cookie recipe is our
favorite mixture at this season.
20. To make a double batch of
drop cakes, place sealer rings on
a cookie sheet, insert paper bak-
ing cups in each and fill two-thirds
full of batter.
21. Soft water is best for pick-
ling. Water that is high in lime
uiay cause the pickles to become
soft.
22. Store pickles in glass jars
with lacquered. tops or wax -coated
tops. Tin or zinc lids will rust
and cause a relish to spoil.
GRAIN
23. Cider vinegar is most com-
monly used for pickling except
where white vinegar is preferred
when making light colored pickles
such as onions and cauliflower.
24. Never fill jars to overflowing
=especially the fruit to.be process-
ed. If there is one-half 'inch of
space from the rim the contents
will not be forced out.
25. Our favorite summer salad.
Prepare two packages of lime jelly
powder and pour into a rectangu-
lar casserole. Then spread six
slices of cooked ham with a chive
flavored cream cheese, and roll up
each piece. When jelly is partial-
ly set press each roll into it al-
lowing an inch around each one.
Cahill firm. Cut into servings. Ac-
company with potato salad and
tossed greens.
