America.
"You Americans," she said, "don't seem to possess the secret of
matrimonial happiness. Perhaps you might take a lesson from a city
clerk I heard of recently.
"A friend of this clerk's, after visiting him at his home, said:
'Excuse me, Will, but how do you manage, on your small salary, to have
such well cooked and delicious meals?'
"'The secret is simple,' Will replied; 'every day I kiss the cook and
do all I can to please her and make her happy.'
"'But doesn't your wife object?' the other asked.
"'Dear no--she's the cook,' was the reply."

One fall Farmer True sold a large part of his hay in order to buy some
new green blinds for his house and a smart kitchen clock. The
neighbors heartily disapproved. Spring came, and with it the downfall
of his pride, for alas! he had not hay enough to feed his cattle until
they should be turned out to grass. Thereupon he humbly sought a
neighbor, and asked him if he had any hay to lend. "Well," said the
neighbor, deliberately, stroking his chin, "I dunno's I've got any hay
to lend, an' I dunno's I've got any to sell. Why don't ye drive yer
cattle up an' let 'em look at yer green blinds an' hear yer clock
strike?" But he sold him some just the same.

How to Utilize Bacon Grease
Bacon grease is the best available medium for frying. It is the most
toothsome and the purest. Contrast the clean lines and flavor of bacon
grease with the insipid, ghastly-looking product known as lard, made
from who knows what. Pure leaf lard is rare, and even at its best the
rich, tempting savor of bacon is vastly preferable.
Bacon, properly prepared for those who do not engage in heavy manual
labor and therefore do not need much of the rich heat producing fat,
should be fried to a crisp, until it is to all intents entirely lean.
Then it is a dish fit for gods, and for mortals who know what is good.
Then there is left the grease, golden brown and delicious. Now the
usefulness of bacon only begins.
Hear this! From one pound of breakfast bacon you get one pint of
precious bacon grease.
What do with it? That's easy.
Fry eggs in it. You will never again use lard. Even butter is inferior
to it.
Season boiled string beans with it. It is a substitute for cooking
bacon with them. Two or three tablespoonfuls will give the proper
flavor. Use the bacon fat in place of butter or lard.

On a festive occasion Mr. Jones, who is by nature courtesy itself,
complimented a middle-aged lady upon her dress, the upper part of
which was of black lace. "Nothing," said he, "to my mind is so
becoming as black and yellow." "Yellow!" she cried. "Oh, good
gracious! That's not my dress, that's _me_!"--_James Payn, in the
Independent._

Cardinal Manning visited a Liverpool convent, where an Irishwoman was
cook. She begged his blessing, and, when it was given, looked up at
his frail figure, and exclaimed, "May the Lord preserve your eminence,
and oh, may he forgive your cook!"

Kornlet
_Is the Milk of Sweet Green Corn, Preserved in Cans When Corn
is at its Best_
--_Nothing_ makes such delicious puddings, fritters, griddle cakes and
soups. Now--to associate Kornlet in your mind with summer green
corn--procure nine full ears, the best the market affords; score and
press the _milk_ from the kernels as completely as possible. This will
be equivalent to one can of Kornlet and may be used successfully for
all the dishes we have mentioned. After that, simply remember that
when green corn is out of season you can have these same delicious
dishes by using Kornlet in the same recipes.
Book of recipes sent free for your grocer's name. During the green
corn season, nine ears of corn take the place of one can of Kornlet.

An' I des laugh an' laugh an' laugh--
An' nen say, "Do it agin!"

One of the latest kitchen novelties is a spoon holder, which hangs on
the inside of any preserving kettle and holds the stirring spoon when
not in use. They are made of aluminum and will not rust.
By using one, you dispense with saucer, cup or plate to hold the
spoon, and the spoon is always ready for use and always where it is to
be used. After you have once used this little article you would not
part with it for five times its cost.

Grape Juice
The finest grape juice is obtained by pressing the grapes without
boiling. After all juice has been extracted by the _Yale Fruit Press_,
place pulp in kettle, bring to a boiling point, then continue pressing
operation. This latter will yield a darker colored juice and not so
delicate in flavor as the juice extracted by the cold process. In
bottling or canning do not mix, but put up separately. Cold process
juice must be heated to the boiling point before it is bottled.

One of the greatest aids and "step-savers" for the woman who does her
own work is a "Wheel-Tray."
Its cost represents not more than you'd have to pay a domestic for two
or three weeks.
The advantage of _this_ helper is that it is always ready, never wants
"an evening off," never argues, never sulks and is always "Bridget on
the spot," if we may be permitted this adaptation of the well-known
phrase.
Ten dollars for the Wheel-Tray will save you hundreds of dollars'
worth of labor, worry and time. Those who have used it say they cannot
now get along without it.
It will last for years, has no breakable or intricate parts and glides
about like a silent, well-trained butler.
In addition to its help in kitchen and dining-room, some use it
sweeping days, taking the small articles out of a room before
sweeping. It saves many steps in one home in distributing the
freshly-ironed clothes to their respective bureau drawers.

1 cup blackberries

Have milk lukewarm, dissolve yeast into it; then add sugar, butter,
salt, egg well beaten; add flour gradually and beat thoroughly; cover;
set aside to rise for one and one-half hours. Then stir in very
lightly the cup of berries and put in well-greased muffin tins. Let
rise for twenty minutes. Bake twenty minutes in a moderate oven. This
makes one dozen. Takes about two and one-half hours. Should be eaten
hot and are very delicious.

Salads, Sandwiches and Chafing-dish Dainties
By Mrs. JANET MCKENZIE HILL, Editor The Boston Cooking-School
Magazine
_A New and Revised Edition.
Profusely Illustrated._
230 pages. Price, $1.50
Salads and chafing-dish dainties are destined to receive in the future
more attention from the progressive housekeeper than has as yet been
accorded to them. In the past their composition and consumption has
been left chiefly to that portion of the community "who cook to please
themselves." But since women have become anxious to compete with men
in every walk of life, they, too, are desirous to become adepts in
tossing up an appetizing salad or in stirring a creamy rarebit. The
author has aimed to make it the most practical and reliable treatise
on these fascinating branches of the culinary art that has yet been
published. Due attention has been given to the a b c of the subjects,
and great care exercised to meet the actual needs of those who wish to
cultivate a taste for palatable and wholesome dishes, or to cater to
the vagaries of the most capricious appetites. The illustrations are
designed to accentuate, or make plain, a few of the artistic effects
that may be produced by various groupings or combinations of simple
and inexpensive materials.
We will mail "Salads, Sandwiches and Chafing-Dish Dainties,"
postpaid, on receipt of price, $1.50, or as a premium for
three new yearly subscriptions to the magazine.

Important Legal Decision
The Liebig's Extract of Meat Company of London, makers of the
celebrated Liebig's Extract of Meat, has gained an important victory
in its suit against the Liebig Extract Company of Hudson and Thomas
streets, New York City, by the decision recently handed down of the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
The principal issue was as to the right of the Liebig Company of
London to exclusive ownership in the name "_Liebig_," and the
Appellate Court has now given a decision, with heavy costs against the
Liebig Extract Company of New York, and enjoins that company from
using the word "_Liebig_" in connection with the sale of extract of
meat. Since this decision is final and not subject to further appeal,
it should mark the end of infringements on the original and genuine
Liebig Extract of Meat made by Liebig's Extract of Meat Company of
London, under rights acquired from the eminent Baron Justus von
Liebig, whose facsimile signature "J. v. Liebig," in blue, is a
prominent feature of the package.

How French Women
Develop Their Bust
First Opportunity Ever Given to the Ladies of America to Profit by the
Mdme. DuBarrie Positive French Method of Bust Development.
Many women believe that the bust cannot be developed or brought back
to its former vigorous condition. Thousands of women have vainly used
massage, electricity, pump instruments, creams, ointments, general
tonics, constitutional treatments, exercises and other methods without
results.
Any Woman May Now Develop Her Bust
Mdme. DuBarrie will explain to any woman the plain truth in regard to
bust development, the reason for failure and the way to success. The
=Mdme. DuBarrie Positive French Method= is different from anything else
ever brought before American women. By this method any lady--young,
middle aged or elderly--may develop her bust from =2 to 8 inches in 30
days=, and see definite results in 3 to 5 days, no matter what the
cause of the lack of development. It is based on scientific facts,
absolutely safe and lasting. _For complete illustrated information,
sent sealed secure from observation, send your name and address, with
a two-cent stamp. Communications strictly confidential._
