Pastry '
There are three classes of pastry:
plain flaky and puff paste
Plain and flaky paste are used for
pies and tarts puff paste is used for
meat pies and patties Plain paste is
prepared by chopping the fat into the
flour flaky and puff paste are prepared
by adding moss of the fat in layers of
dough and combining by rolling and
folding thus incorporating' much air
in the process which when heated ex-
pands making paste flaky
Rules for Plain Paste
Use flour cold fat and ice
water in making pastry Add
salt to give flavor and baking
powder if additional lightness or
a cheaper paste is desired
Butter butterine lard cotto-
lene or beef drippings may be
used for shortening Butter
gives the best flavor lard makes
most tender crust Beef drip-
1 pings and salt are especially good
for meat pies The per cent of
fat may be reduced when baking
powder is used Have all ma-
terials very cold
Sift all dry ingredients togeth-
er chop in cold fat with a fork
the hands warm it Do not chop
fat very fine if flaky crust is de-
sired Add ice water carefully a
few drops at a time and only
enough to hold dough together
- Toss on a floured board with a
knife so that the entire surface
is floured Handle only the part
that is to be used for one crust
at a time Roll lightly and
quickly on one side only so as
not to work in more flour
Roll thin and as near shape of
pan as possible Fold and lift
paste carefully to the pie plate
and trim one-fourth inch larger
than plate 1 Work scraps to-
gether lightly keep them covered
with a moist cloth and very cold
They may be used another day
All pastry rolls more easily after
chilling
Left over pastry may be used
for cheese straws and tarts
Plain paste for a one-crust pie
may be baked on the outside of
the pie tin and carefully pierced
with a fork before baking so
that bubbles will not spoil the
shape
Meat and oyster pies and pies
made with fresh fruit are best
made without an under crust
They should be baked in an
earthen or granite dish The
upper crust should always be per-
forated to -allow the escape of
steam' If the upper crust be
brushed with beaten egg before
baking it will brown better and
have a shiny appearance If the
pie is a juicy fruit pie it is well
to brush the under crust with
beated white of egg to prevent
the juices making the crust soft
The lower crust should always be
moistened around the edge with
cold water and the upper crust
placed over it and the two press-
ed tightly together
Pastry should be cooked in a
hot oven 15 to 30 minutes After
pastry has been in the oven a
few minutes the heat should be
decreased
Plain Paste
1 c flour i t salt
ice water i c fat
Enough for one crust
Flaky Paste
3 c flour li c butter or lard
& t salt 1 c ice water
Sift flour and salt add I of the
butter and chop it in well Add
enough of the water to make a
stiff dough and knead it until
smooth Divide remaining fat
in three portions Roll paste half
inch thick Spread one portion
of the butter on it dredge light-
ly with flour fold in three layers
roll out fold and roll again
spread on another portion of but
ter fold and continue until all the
butter is used rolling and fold-
ing six times in all Bake in a
hot oven
Test Jars for Canning
The following tests are sug-
gested to determine if jars are
defective for canning purposes:
Screw-top jars— ( 1 ) Place top
on jar without the rubber turn
dowh tight ' If the thumb nail
can be inserted between top and
glass the top is usually defective
(2) Place rubber and cap in
position and screw down lightly
Pull rubber frdm position release
If the rubber returns to position
between top and jar the top is
defective
Glass-top jars— (1) Place glass
top on jar without rubber Tap
with finger around the outer edge
of the top If the top rocks it is
defective '
( 2) Wire bail placed over the
top of cover should go in with a
snap even when tightening lever
or clamp springs is up If it
does not remove bail from
tightening lever and bend to
make tight This tightening of
bail should be done every year
Uses of Tomatoes
Tomatoes can probably be pre-
pared in a greater number of
ways than any other vegetable
Few dinners are complete with-
out them They form the basis
of most soups They may be
used in sauces for fish or oysters
As a vegetable they may be used
in many ways Lettuce and
tomato salad with mayonnaise
is one of the best dishes of its
kind The combinations with
onions peppers cabbage and
spices represented by catchup
picalilli chow chow and pickles
are almost endless in number It
is scarcely to be wondered that
the tomato has taken first place
among the vegetables
Tomato Catchup
It is quite an art to make good
catchup The tomatoes should
be of a red variety and thorough-
ly ripe They should be gone
over carefully and those having
rotten spots or green places
should be discarded The boil-
ing should be done as rapidly as
possible in enameled aluminum
or porcelain lined preserving ket-
tles Long boiling has a tenden-
cy to darken the product With
the exception of cayenne pepper
which should be ground whole
spices should be used when pos-
sible Ground spices darken the
catchup

policemen and a detail of firemen were
necessary yesterday to get the body of
a man from the River Oes Peres The
body was discovered by Henry Kettler
8226 Morgan Ford road It was about
300 feet from the Morgan Ford road in
about a feet of water anfj the banks on
either side at that point rise almost
sheer to a height of 40 feet
Police who reached the scene thought
the body could be reached by ropes but
this proved futile and Fire Chief Hen-
derson sent Hook and Ladder Company
No 10 to the scene With the aid of
ropes and ladders the firemen aided by
the police got the body ashore
’ The body was that of a man apparent-
ly about 25 years old In the pockets
were a City Hospital card numbered
6280 Records at the hospital showed
this card was issued August 6 to An-
tonio Noascona 25 years old of Le-
high Okla The records showed the
patient had suffered from heat prostra-
tion August 8 There was also an Odd
Fellows card in the pocket bearing the
same name The condition of the body
indicated it had been in the water about
three days There was no exterior
marks of violence so far as could be
found — St Louis Globe-Democrat

DUTY OF THE ADMINISTRA-
TION TO STOP PLOTS AND
CONSPIRACIES
‘ We’ denounce all plots and
conspiracies in the Interest of
any foreign nation Utterly in-
tolerable Is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues Every Am-
erican must unreservedly con-
demn them and support every
effort for their suppression But
here also prompt vigorous and
adequate measures on the part
of 1 tha 'Administration were
needed There should h’'s
been no hesitation no notion
that It was wise and politic to
delay-’ ’ Such an 1 abuse of our
territory demanded Immediate
and thorough-going action As
soon as the Administration had
notice of plots and conspiracies
tt was its duty to stop them
It was not lacking In resources
Its responsibility for their con-
tinuance cannot be escaped by
the condemnation of others—
From Mr Hughes’ speech of
acceptance
