It also supplies bulk to the diet. When making summer dresses of voile, cut off all selvedges, even in straight skirts. Otherwise the material ma-terial will draw when washed. Voile sometimes shrinks when washed, and it is well to make allowances for this in cutting. , Grape juice makes a delicious hot weather ice or sherbet. Flavor with sugar and lemon to taste and freeze; if a sherbet is wanted, add a beaten eTO white when partly frozen and continue turning the dasher until stiff. Remove dasher, cover the can tightly pack with ice and salt, and set away to ripen for an hour or more. "Eternal vigilance is the price of peace," from household insects in warm weather. Many of the most troublesome ones feed on crumbs, scraps, and other exposed food. The only way to beat these pests ants, cockroaches, and flies, especially is to keep food supplies in tight metal or glass containers, and clean up promptly any food crumbs that may be scattered about. Never leave food uncovered. Keep the garbage pail closed, and have it emptied regularly. Rinse it out and line it with clean paper each time it is emptied. It is not necessary to drain the juice from canned vegetables or fruits. If the food in the can is good to eat, the juice is. In the mase of vegetables especially the juice contains con-tains some 'of the valuable food constituents' con-stituents' which have been dissolved in it during the canning process. These can ho saved by serving the juice in thr- form of sauce with the vegetable, i,r using it in soups and gravies. Juices from canned fruits can always be added to fruit drinks to sweeten and flavor them, or used in pudding sauces or fruit gelatins. |
