The usual allowance of time am a medium rare roast is fifteen minutes for every•pound of meat. The length of tirne required for baking )p,ota6eadepends on the aLze of the tUlketg,,thit tiveragentime for fairly la'?:ge paatees Its' forty-five Min- utes, Boiled potatoes ata ever so mue better If they are boiled gently. The simmering burlier of the gas range is, just right for this. Test with a fork at the, end ea a half hour, and when mellOw drain off the water, and if they must stand before serving place a cloth over them rather than a tin cov- er. Old 'potatoes with a strong flavor should be pared before boiling and soaked in cold water. For creamed potatoes use chopped, baked or boiled potatoes. When these are mixed with the ingredients for the cream sauce, set the saucepan over the simmering burner upon an asbes'.,os mat. This slow process will ensure a delicious creamy mixture. Kitchen Knowledge. Corn starch, arrow root or tapioca may be used to thicken cream soups. Oranges, banana e and figs eut up to- gether make a very delicious dessert. Winter fruits that need cooking are most wholesome cooked without sugar. Thin cold beef served with potato salad and brown bread is a gated sup- per. When making padding soak the bread or cake in cold milk; it makes it light. Hot milk causes heaviness.. Eggs, fruit and whole-wheat bread make a perfect early breakfast for a business man. When mixing fruit or nuts in a cake, they should be added before the flour. They will then be evenly dis- tributed. ; Dates are so nutritious and can be cooked in so many different ways, it is surprising they are not more genera:i- lly used. Five cents worth of tartar emetic mixed with an equal amount of. sugar, moisteeed and placed -where the ants are, will drive them away. I It is a very wise plan to put sheets ; of newspaper under bedding and car- pets, and in frosty weather to tie them around water pipes fo prevent :bursting. When the spring of a window shade is run down, it is a good idea to wind it up with a button hook—putting ,b .e, hook around the small metal end whieh is to be turned. Beets are much better and sweeter baked than boiled. They should be put in the oven in a baking pan and turned frequently, then when tender served with olive oil and lemon juice. Shoulder of pork is delicious when stuffed. Buy a nice fresh shoulder; have the butcher bone it, then stuff it. Sew it up tight, roll it in a cloth and boil it two hours. Then remove the cloth from it, put it in an iron baking pan and bake it two hours. sae—en_ BUILD MERCHANT ARMADA. Britain Will, Construct Vast Fleet of Mercantile Shipping. The creation of a mighty armada of British mercantile shipping within six months after the end of the war was prophesied by a high naval authority in a statement made in London re- cently. Facilities for shipbuilding ip Great Britain, it is asserted, have been so greatly augumented during the war. that British yards can easily outdistance all German competition. .1 "Once our effort is concentrated on merchant shipping," this official said, it will be possible to build vessels in less than ninety days, and perhaps faster, if they are standardized ships. Even with so much labor diverted to war purposes we have been able, to construct 9,000 -ton liners in three months' time. "The stimulus to shipbuilders work- ing under War pressure and on war vessels will continue when it comes to building merchantmen, for the men will accept the challenge of the Ger- mans. Never in her history has Bri- tain had at her diseosal such a highly efficient and large body of shipbuild- ers as she will have. when the - war closes. We can view the future with equanimity, regardlese of Getman pre- dictions." . WAR FOOD FLOWER °BEDS. Convalescent Homes Plant Gardens in Potatoes. Sir Alfred Mond, the Fitst Commis- sioner of Works, London, England, is setting an example to local authorities in dealing promptly with food ,produe- tion in parks and open spaces. With the King's approval he has given in- structions for the grounds of the Con-. Yalescont Home for Ofileers of the Navy and Army, at Osborne, Isle of Wight, to be planted with potatoee. Befoee the war those portions of the grounds open to the public, tiot- alaly the Swiss Cottage gardees, were a blaze of colo"i, all the suinmer. Very little gardening has been done since, but the decision of the First Com- missioher of Works cannot fail to be an object -lesson in the use of idle ground. - Worceeter 'Cathedral schoolboys during the Christmas holidays clug up the Cathedral close, an aese-plot, whose ancient eirns were blown down laet year.
