BAKED POTATOES DELUXE  

Select six medium potatoes, scrub and rub with the fat, bake until thoroughly done, cut lengthwise and remove pulp, add salt and pepper to taste and fold in two well beaten egg whites, fill potato cases and sprinkle 1 teaspoon grated cheese on top of each potato half. Brown and serve hot.

SANDWICH SALAD

CHOCOLATE CAKE

½ cup fat

2 eggs unbeaten

1 ¼ cup sweet milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 teaspoon soda

2 cups sifted brown sugar

6 squares unsweetened chocolate (melted)  

Sift flour, add soda, and sift three times. Cream butter thoroughly, add sugar gradually, and cream together until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time and beat well, add chocolate and beat again, add flour alternately with milk, a small amount at a time. Beat after each addition until smooth. Add vanilla. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees 30 minutes. Frost with favorite icing.

FAVORITE ICING

1 ½ cup sugar

2 tablespoons syrup

1/3 cup water

Boil together, as soon as boiling pour 4 tablespoons of syrup over one egg white beaten stiff. Add 6 or 8 marshmallows, beat thoroughly with electric beater. You may very this recipe if you add coloring, brown sugar or chocolate. [Grandma wrote in the column, “continue to boil syrup until it spins thread.”]

YOUNGBERRY SHERBET

¾ cup sugar

2 cups youngberries

1 cup coffee cream

1/16 teaspoon salt

½ cup water

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 egg whites

Drain the juice from the young berries and cook it with sugar and water for ten minutes. Add the youngberry pulp which has been through sieve and lemon juice. Pour into tray and allow to freeze firm. Remove and put in an ice cold bowl, beat until light, add cream and fold in egg whites which have been salted. Return to tray and finish freezing.

BURNT SUGAR CAKE

½ cup butter

2/3 cup burnt sugar syrup

1 2/3 cups Omar Wonder flour

2 teaspoons K. C. baking powder

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup milk

3 eggs

¼ teaspoon salt

Method: Cream the fat, add the sugar and cream thoroughly. Then add the eggs which have been beaten until thick and lemon colored. Sift flour, measure and sift three times with baking powder and salt. Add alternately with the liquid, dividing flour into four parts and liquid into three. Place batter into two nine-inch layer pans. Bake in a preheated moderate oven for 30 minutes or until done.

WHITER CLOTHES

White cottons and linens will come from your week's wash four or five shades whiter, and will last two or three times longer if your follow these hints.

Sprinkle Rinso into tub or washer. Add lukewarm water and stir a few seconds. You will be delighted with the lively, lasting suds. After using once or twice, you can easily estimate how much soap is needed (it's really very little) for rich lasting suds in hard or soft water.

White clothes should be soaked an hour or two or overnight. Even if you soak your white clothes as little as ten minutes in Rinso suds, the results will be amazing. If there are badly soiled spots, sprinkle a little dry Rinso on them, roll the garment and push it well under water.

The wash water for white cottons and linens should be as hot as is available, preferably around 140 degrees. Two loads of clothes can easily be washed without changing the water in the machine—three loads if the clothes are not too dirty. When the suds die down the cleansing power of the soap is spent. Either add more Rinso—or if the suds have become very dirty, make a fresh solution.

The more completely the dirty suds are wrung or spun out of the clothes, the easier the rinsing is, and the less hot water is required. Have water for the first rinse as hot as the wash water. In the second and third rinses, use as hot water as convenient.
