The secret of making a good omelet of any kind is the same secret that applies to all successful cooking of eggs and dishes in which eggs pre- dominate: Cook slowly at moderate, even heat, says the bureau of home economies of the United States De- partment of Agriculture, The basic ingredients for any kind of omelet are the same: One egg for each per- son, one tablespoonful of milk for each egg, and salt to taste. Beat the egg yolks and whites separately for 2 fluffy omelet; beat them together for a flat omelet. To niake a fluffy omelet for an av- erage family use from four to six eggs. Add as many tablespoonfuls of milk as you have eggs. If preferred, the milk may be heated. It will cook the yolks slightly when it is added hot and give the mixture a one-half hot white sauce of medium smoother consistency. Or, cup of Turning the Omelet Out. thickness added to four egg yolks will make a larger omelet with more body. Fold the yolk mixture gradually and carefully into the stiffly beaten whites containing the salt—one fourth tea- spoonful of salt for each four eggs. Have ready and hot a smooth heavy omelet pan containing one tablespoon- ful or a little more of butter, and pour the egg mixture into the pan, The omelet can be cooked in three different ways, but in any case start it on top of the stove at moderate heat. If a small-sized gas or oil burn- er is used, move the pan about so that the omelet will cook around the edge at the same rate as in the cen- ter. As soon as the omelet has browned slightly on the bottom. place it in a moderate oven (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for ten minutes Or, continue the cooking on top of the stove until the mixture sets, and two or three minutes. Or, if pre- ferred, cover the pan during the whole period and so cook the top of the omelet with steam. When the omelet is done crease it through the center, fold it over with a spatula, and roll it onto a hot platter without attempt- ing to lift it from the pan. Pour over the omelet melted butter containing finely cut parsley and serve at once. For a flat omelet beat the eggs with one tablespoonful of milk for each egg and salt to taste. Pour a thin lay- omelet pan and cook slowly and even- ly. When brown on the bottom roll the omelet in the pan and turn it out onto a hot platter. Omelets with different names are simply variations of plain omelets, made by adding chopped ingredients to the egg mixture before it is cooked or spread over half of the cooked omelet before it is folded and turned onto the platter. Chopped fried ham or bacon, grated cheese, or a cooked vegetable such as peas, mushrooms or asparagus, or a combination of chopped onion, green pepper, celery, and parsley delicately fried in butter, are some suggestions for variations of plain omelet. Sweet omelets spread with jelly and containing sugar in the egg mixture, are sometimes served for dessert, SUMMER SQUASH OF DELICATE FLAVOR Especially Delicious When Seasoned With Butter. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Young, tender, summer squash, be it yellow or white and called crook- neck or cymling, is of delicate flavor, especially when seasoned liberally | with butter before serving. It need not be watery if properly cooked. Below are two recipes from the bu- reau of home economics for prepar- ing summer squash. Summer squash may also be sliced, dipped in flour or | egg and bread crumbs, and fried as eggplant is fried, or baked, or steamed in a regular steamer or a colander over hot water. When cooked in any of these ways without added the full flavor of the squash is re- tained and the texture is more satis factory to many the squash served mashed. Casserole Squash. 2 quarts diced sum- 1 cup mer squash crumbs 3 tbs. melted butter 2 tsp. salt 1% tsp. pepper butterei Select young, tender, summer squash, wash, cut into small cubes, put into a greased baking dish, sea- son with salt and pepper and sprin- kle the buttered crumbs on top. Put on the cover of the dish and cook in a moderate oven for about one hour. When the squash is tender remove the lid and let the crumbs become golden brown before serving. Panned Squash, 1% quarts diced 1% tsp. salt summer squash 1g tsp. pepper 3 tbs. butter Select young, tender squash, wash well, and remove the tips from each end. Dice the squash in 3% inch pieces, leaving the skin on unless it is very tough. Melt the butter in a skillet until slightly brown, put in the squash, sprinkle with salt and pep- per, cover and cook for ten or fif- teen minutes at medium heat. Re- move the cover and cook a little longer for the liquid to evaporate. Serve hot. Joy of Feeling Fit The joy of feeling fit physically is reflected in a clearer and more useful mind.

FRUIT AND OTHER Ice Cream Makes Fine (Prepared by the U of A 1 States Department ulture.) The children enjoy pretending they are having something at home that has first been sampled elsewhere, The idea of a “sundae” at home suggests all the joys of the soda fountain with of candy and chewing gum. French vanilla or custard ice cream is particularly good as a foundation for any sort of fruit “sundae,” with fresh fruit served over it, such as strawberries, raspber- ries or fresh peaches, according to the season. Chocolate or butterscotch sauce, maple sirup or honey may also be used with french vanilla ice eream or sundaes. This is a good ice cream, too, to serve with pies “a la mode,” which means simply pie with a dip of vanilla ice cream on top, It can be used with sponge cake to make an NICE SUNDAES AT HOME Foundation for Sundae. “ice cream sandwich.” The eggs in a custard ice cream are excellent for the children, supplementing the other nu- tritious ingredients of the ice cream by adding to the day's supply of vita- mines and minerals, The bureau of home economies gives water | people than when | is boiled, drained, and | the following directions for making it: | French Vanilla Ice Cream. 1 quart milk 3% cup sugar t double cream 14 tsp. salt 5S 1%, tsp. vanilla Prepare as for custard by pouring some of the heated milk into the light- ly beaten eggs and then cooking the milk and eggs with the sugar and salt in & double boiler until the custard coats the spoon.

BRUCE, Northwestern University. ( HILE the American people individually are lawless, collec- tively they are the most law abiding of all the nations of the earth. Sovereign states have been willing to settle by court decrees great boundary and water rights, disputes such as those between Colorado, Nebraska and Arkansas, which involved the use of the Colorado, the La Platte and the Laramie rivers; and between Texas and Oklahoma which involved the great oil deposits of the South- west. These controversies in most of the countries of Europe would have meant war, but the sense of law and order was so strong in this country that a supreme court of nine men in gowns was able to settle the disputes and to settle them without the firing of a gun or the calling out of a soldier. Collectively we are law abiding, but individually we are lawless. We show a national patriotism and a national ideal. What we need, chiefly, is a personal ideal. Dernoeracy is individualistic; democracy is eelf- centered, and rebels at constraint. Democracy is lawless, but democracy i8 irresistible. Its possibilities are unlimited. It needs only to be faced. It needs only to be understood. It needs only to be directed. We have a national patriotism, a national self-respect and a national ideal. All that we need is the cultivation of a personal respect and a personal ideal. What the boy and girl and what the defaulting fether and mother need is self-respect and a sense of dignity that is in them, EVILS CHURCH MUST COMBAT By REV. J. MARONI (Lutheran), Dean of Oslo, Norway. No man can be blind to the fact that society of today is in an unhealthy condition and confronts us with most difficult problems. There are evils of poverty and unemployment, house shortage, the war, class warfare and mammonism. Men are striving with feverish zeal to find rem- edies for these ills. We cannot leave these difficulties to be settled by politicians, for they ves of but one party, and the church must guard against becoming the servant of a single party. Since prevention is better than cure the church must be always most It must take up the fight against are the representati energetic in the cause of temperance. all the pitfalls that are set to catch the feet of the young. It must pro- tect against slackness with regard to the sacredness of marriage. It must attack the selfish code of business and commerce, and stop the brazen, shameless advertisement of sin of every kind. It is the duty of the church not merely to relieve want and suffering but to create a Christian opinion with regard to morality, legislation and social responsibility. The life of the Christian is the Bible of the world, and is often the only one that is read. CLERGY CALLED TO ACCOUNT By REV. DR. KNICKERBOCKER, Minneapolis (Episcopal).

Rodent Has Worn Out Its Welcome in Hawaii Those who know the mongoose only through Kipling’s immortal story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi may be surprised to hear that Hawaii hunts the little brown rodent as a pest. Originally brought to the islands on the theory that it would do battle with sugar- cane-gnawing rats, the mongoose has become a nuisance which many people feel is worse than the rats. Its de- struction of birds, small poultry and eggs is perennial and extensive. Some years ago the legislature put a bounty on the mongoose in the hope that suf- ficient scalps would be collected to di- minish its ravages. However, the mongoose is both wily and prolific, and his kind has not appreciably dimin- ished. A bill in the present territorial legislature proposes to do away with the mongoose bounty on the grounds that were the little chap welcomed and encouraged instead of chased and per- secuted, he might co-operate with so- ciety more cordially in campaigning the sweet-toothed rats, Mastering Temptation Two-year-old Keith was very much interested in the deck of cards lying on the floor by his mother’s chair at a euchre party. He started a game of his own but was told by his moth- er to replace the cards in the box. A moment later he had his game go- ing again and was again corrected by his mother, this time more severely. The young culprit immediately sought out the hostess and pleaded: “You put those cards up where I can't get them; my mamma don’t want me to have them.” Catty spinsters staying in a had what is called “a few words,” and thereafter passed each other by in silence. One day the manageress said to spinster No. 1, “Do you know poor Miss So-and-so (mentioning No. 2's name) has been stung on the nose by a hornet? We're all so sorry for her.” “Are you?” snapped spinster No. 1. “I'm sorry for the hornet.” Two elderly seaside hotel Fooled the Doctors Good Taken to a New Orleans hospital Marie Felicie was told by doctors she could not live more than three days...
