Hints For The Home
The luscious red berry that
brings joy to winter days has oth
er uses than the traditional cran
berry sauce. Once you’ve tasted
cranberry muffins you’ll want to
serve them often as a special kind
of quick hot bread.
3-4 cup cranberries
1-3 cup sugar
2 cups sifted flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 tblsp. sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
14 cup melted fat
Comt)ine cranberries with 1-3
cup sugar. Mix well and let stand,
while sifting and mixing dry in
gredients together. Combine
liquids (fat cooled slightly) and
pour all at once into sifted dry
ingredients. Stir vigorously until
dry ingredients are just dampened.
Stir in sygared cranberries with a
few quick folds. Spoon batter into
greased 2-inch muffin tins, filling
each 2-3 full. Bake in hot oven
(425 degrees F) 20 minutes—
yields 18 muffins.
Yum! Yum! What n«xt? Apple*
are grand—gingerbread delightful
—apples plus gingerbread makes
“Apple gingerbread”—here’s how.
Peel, core and slice three apples.
Arrange in 8-inch squar* pan,
together 1 1-2 cups flour. 1-2 Up.

You’ll want your home clean and
shining for the approaching holi
day season and while your task
is not a simple one it can be eased
considerably by applying a “few
tricks of the trade.”
Mirrors and windows can be
cleaned and polished to a spar
kling brilliance by adding a little
starch to the washing water and
then wiping dry with a soft cloth.
No rinse water is needed.
You can give y"ur floors new
luster by adding ■ 1 ttle floor pol
ish to the washin .vater and mov
ing the scrub bruah with the grain
of the wood. Use cold water for
washing floors; it drys faster.
Because of its portability, a
small vacuum cleaner or attach
ment is especially helpful in dust
ing books and book shelves.
If your candles wobble in their
holders, melt some paraffin and
pour into the socket. Place the
candle in while it’s still hot. This
serv'es a double purpose—it keeps
candles straight and prevents dan
ger of fire.
Glassware will gleam if you add
A pressure cooker with a broil
er in the top has just been de
signed and will be available before
long. It browns and tenderizes the
tougher cuts of meat at the same
time.
A soybean shoe sole which is
both waterproof and flexible is now
in use, but you probably will be
unable to distinguish it from the
others.
You won’t have to wait for a
waitress when an automatic name
selector developed recently gets
into production. The selector looks
and works like a juke box except
that you order food on it, rather
than tunes. When the numbers
show up on the kitchen recorder,
the chef gets busy. It saves the
customer time and gives the res
taurant owner a better record of
his business.
Houses built from the roof down
are possible as a result of a new
system which eliminates the need
for rafters or trusses in the roof
and for load-bearing walls. The
technique has been tried out suc
cessfully in one large housing proj
ect.
FOOD NOTES: Mincemeat and
plum pudding ingredients will ^
more plentiful than in recent win
ters. Lots of candied citron is
coming in from Puerto Rico. Also,
there will be more oysters than
usual, especially frozen ones, and.
more shrimp. Frozen fish supplies
are the largest in our history.
You may have trouble finding
sweet potatoes later on because
this year’s crop was smaller . . .
but there will be many more apples
than last year and the winter pear
crop is a good one.
Fats and oils will remain scarce
all winter, but less so after Christ
mas.
ABOUT DECEMBER 25: Christ
mas trees should be easier to buy
this year unless shopping difficul
ties interfere. More are being cut.
Toys will be more plentiful than
at any time since Pearl Harbor, but
tricycles and metal trains will not
go round. Fancy wrapping paper
and cards will be back.
An ultra-violet lamp which de
stroys kitchen bacteria and kitch
en smells is in production.
Some day you may brush your
teeth with penicillin. Experi-
ments are under way to tests its
worth as a bacteria killer when
combined with tooth powder. •
A new kind of washing ma
chine works on the bouncing prin
ciple and will be on the market by
the end of this year. It’s construct
ed so that clothes are cleaned by
swirling around in the tub, with
out an agitator or other moving
piece inside.
A new kind of sudless soap can
be had in individual packages
which contains just enough for a
load in your automatic washer. It
works equally well in soft and hard
water.

Porcelain is best cleaned with
salt sprinkled on a flannel cloth.
Fodder: “What’s the idea of
