A GOOD THING
TO KNOW
NEW USES FOR OLD
BAKING POWDER CANS
Don’t throw away your old bak
ing powder cans. There are many
vays in which they can be turned
to good use in the household.
Did you ever use one in cooking
steam pudding or brown bread? If
i you never did, try it. It’s just
. the thing. When cooked in this
way, the pudding is a good size to
cut in slices, and really looks better
to serve than if cooked in a real
steamer, since all the slices are the
same shape.
A baking powder can may also
be used for freezing ices and creams
especially the mousses and pra
faits—that is, the ones that do not
need stivr'rg. The can being ti.i
is a very good conductor of heat
and aliov s th mixture te freeze
readily.
It V.;;. also make a good mold
1 i i :'r"c:v cream5 Atter the mix
ture has been fro er. until stiff,
mold it in the can; cover the top of
the mold with an oiled pa nor, and
place i\er that the lid. Cut off
all the paper that r. lef'i fiom under
the lid. Fill -.he #'erases around
the edge of the lid wiiti lard ir
parafin, so as to seal, tnen cover
this Aith a narro.v str p of cloih,
whicn holds the lari or parafin in
place, and pin the ecus together.
Pack n ice and s-i'.t in the ratio
of four to one, and let stand until
hard nd ready for use.
Using the lids to cut biscuits and
doughnuts is another reason why
old baking powder cans are as high
ly prized in many households as
• the most expensive aluminum uten
sils.

SUGGESTION
WORTH NOTING
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH
YOUR DENTIST’S HABITS
What are your dentist’s habits?
don’t Ihink for a minute that it’s
none of your business. Not only
Lhe condition of your teeth, but your
general health and your life itself
may depend upon the character of
the man who extracts your aching
teeth or fills the cavities in them.
If your dentist is an intemperate
man his hands are liable to be so
unsteady that skilful work is im
possible. Just a little slip of one
of his instruments may do damage
to your teeth or gums that can
lever be repaired.
Although there are few authori
tative instances of conatgion being
possible. It is, therefore, wise to
patronize only dentists who are so
neat and cleanly in their habits as
to ensure every precaution being
taken.
The list of organisms which may
contaminate dental instruments is
formidable, but this does not mean
that the disease of which they are
the cause necessarily ensue if they
are accidently carried into the
mouth. Their presence upon den
tal irs'ruments is , however, an ir.
dicatic:’. of what surgeons call poor
technic. In sufgery poor technic
is usually attended with disas
trous results, but in dentistry er
rors of this character may produce
no ill effects.
Cleanilness should be the pri
mary consideration in oil dental op
erations, says a writer in the Bos
ton Medical and Surgical Journal
The white coat of of the operator
represents more than cumL.rt; it is
the symbol o 1 ..eatness. The den
tist who works with unclean intsru
mer.ts, who provides soiled linen or
who places a common drinking gluts
before his patier.’; should he fudged
accordingly.
Fortunately the meir.be-s of tho
profession who !o these things are
ciiticized and suffer front loss of
patronage, so that there is a st?-ong
tendency on the part of dentists
to maintain their surroundings
above reproach. With the .sterili
zation of instruments some careless
ness ntay manifest itself, partly
owing to the fact that many inst
ruments are injured by the process,
ire to complicated to be treated in
this manner, or that the public is
not competent to detect errors in
the methods of sterilization. How
ever, the public is rapidly learning
the value of aseptic methods, and
proper equippment is now found in
! nearly all dental offices.
A good instance of the efforts
tho great majority of dentists are
making to protect their patients
. against contagion is furnished by
the fact that various dental assoc
iations throughout the country have
lately requested the United States
Public Health Service to investigate
and report to them the best methods
of strilizing all instruments.

SOUP BETTER WHEN FROZEN
Curiously enough it has been dis
wered that severe cold as well as
heat is esential in tho preparation
; of some foods.
i Meats aro greatly improved in
taste and are made much more
tender by being frozen before cook
ing. Fowls, too, are often frozen
inorder to render them tender and
delicious. And now it has been
discovered that some kinds of cook
ed foods are very much improved
by being frozen, or at least being
kept for a period in a temperature
not much above the freezing point.
Soups, especially vegetable soups
will be found to have a much more
appetizing flavor if they are per
mitted to freeze for a short time
after being thoroughly cooked in
the usual way.
A freezing or low temperature
will keep such foods much longer
than a milder temperature, and it
is surprising to see what a pleasing
difference there is in their flavor
when finally thawed out and heated
for serving.
This fact will doubtless result in
the devising of small cold storage
plants, arranged so that a freezing
temperature can be provided quick
ly and at a low cost, being put on
the market.
Iceless freezers, as well as fire
less cookers, wMl be coming into
general use in the next few years
when the public to the improvement
which can be affected in soups,
meats and poultry by freezing be
fore they are finally heated for
serving.
