Peach Fritters, Coated and Fried,
Make Luscious Snacks, Desserts
Summer is just about over
and with it goes the fresh peach
season. We have here a recipe for
you which makes use of the fresh
peaches or the canned ones.
Peach fritters stand in a class
all by themselves. Imagine, if you
can, golden luscious peach halves,
dipped into a fritter batter and
deepfat fried. Coated with confec
tioners’ sugar, these fruit gems
will certainly bolster dessert and
snack suggestions.

2 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg, slightly beaten

and baking powder. Combine egg -
and milk and add gradually to dry r
ingredients Stir until batter is
smooth. Add melted lard. Dip
each peach quarter into fritter
batter. Cook in deep hot fat (350
degrees) until golden brown.
Drain on absorbent paper. Serve
immediately with confectioner’s
sugar, if desired. Yield 12 to 16
fritters.
Variety in daily meals is a con
stant problem for most homemak
ers. Especially during the sum
mer when less of the homemak
er’s time is spent in the kitchen,
this situation is ever present
Chipped beef is a handy item
to have on'hand It is quick to pre
pare and for last minute meals or
unexpected emergencies, it might
help to know simple ways to vary
a basic creamed chipped beef re
cipe
1. Cook two or three table
spoons of minced onion and green
pepper in fat, before adding flour
2. Add cuiry powder to the
sauce (about one-fourth teaspoon
cuiry powder to two cups sauce)
Serve on fluffy white rice.
3 Add chopped, hard-cooked
eggs.
4 Dried beef makes a hearty
mam dish out of a baked mara
rom and cheese casserole.
5 If planning to serve cream
ed dried beef over toast, perhaps
you might like preparing a
cheese sauce rather than a regu
lar white sauce

CELLAR STAIRS
Cellar stairs were found to be
special accident hazards to elderly
people living in farm homes in a
recent survey. Some 600 people
over 65 years old were interview
ed in a study of housing condi
tions and needs of this age group
of farm people.
Most of those people lived in
houses with stairs. Many of them
no longer used the stairs to the
second floor but almost all used
basement stairs. Many of these
stairways were poorly lighted,
steep and cluttered, thus a special
hazard to those whose eyesight
often was not as keen as it once
was and whose step was not as
steady.
For safer stairs, safety speia
lists in several states offer these
suggestions A strong handrail
the full length of the stairs; good
light on every step, keeping steps
in good repair so that the tread
is firm and even; top and bottom
step painted white as a reminder;
keeping stairs free of any sort of
clutter The stairway should never
