Timely Hints
By RUTH CURRENT
State Home Demonstration Agent
Most cooks know that water,
or any liquid for that matter, just
will not get any hotter than boil
ing no matter how much heat you
apply (unless you are cooking
with steam under pressure).
Therefore, leaving the electric
unit turned on high after the food
reaches boiling point is wasteful.
The water boils off faster so you
have to start with more; excess
steam heats your kitchen; and
the food cooks not one bit faster
—reasons enough for reducing the
heat, don’t you think?
After boiling is started on high,
turn your switch to the lowest
point possible to still maintain
steaming. After experimenting
with the quantities you most fre
quently cook, you’ll know exact
ly where to turn the switch, and
you’ll get exactly the same heat
every time.
If you don’t have much time
for sewing, there are a number of
shortcuts that can be taken to
save time.
Choosing a pattern: Select a
pattern that is simple, one with
few pieces. Avoid patterns that
have many pleats, tucks and but
-Bonds
Over America
IOWA’S FIRST CAPITOL
Among the important shrines that
American youths are battling to pro
tect is the Administration Building
of the University of Iowa, Iowa City,
constructed in 1840 as the first State
Capitol. ^In 1857 the government
moved to Ties Moines and the build
ing was turned over to the Univer
sity. People on the home front buy
War Bonds to equip service men
who are guarding such institutions
as this one in Iowa, which began
with 75 students and now numbers
10,000. U. S. Treasury Department
tonholes and those with a great
deal of shirring. Be sure to buy
the proper pattern size which
should require only minor alter
ations.
Choosing a fabric: A firmly
woven fabric will prove most
satisfactory since it cuts easily
and will not fray or pull. Avoid
large figured prints that have to
be matched at the seams. Fig
ured fabrics, plaids and stripes
are a little harder to work with
than plain fabrics.
Good sewing equipment is es
sential to quick, efficient sewing.
Before beginning to work, have
pins, scissors, thimble, needles,
thread, tape measure and ruler
at hand. And when the garment
is ready for stitching, it is a good
idea to keep the iron in readiness
so that seams can be pressed af
ter each is stitched.
