HARICOT BEANS FOR AN INVALID
One sometimes hears complaints that haricot beans are tnclined to by bitter when cooked. This may. be due either to the staleness of the bean or the method of cook- ing. You can assure yourself of the former from your grocer, the following method will dispose of the cooking difficulty. If you pos- sibly can, cock them in an ear thenware pan.
Soak the beans overnight not forgetting to add a pinch of bi- carbonate of soda to the water drain them, and put them into a saucepan or an earthenware cas- serole, in which you can serve them. Cover with plenty of fresh, warm water, about a quart for a pound of beans. Put the pan an a low are, so that it comes to the
boil very slowly, and draw the pan of the fire as soon as it comes to the boil. Leave-it there for about an hour. The beans should get cooler rather than hotter, and "at the end of the hour should be just "warm; but they will have wol- len to nearly twice their original size, and will all have sunk to the bottom of the pan. Drain them again and throw
away this first blanching water. 14
Now put the drairied beans Dack into
the pan, add salted water which should be boiling, a sbrig of parsley, a plece of celery, a small onion with a clove stuck in tt, and, for those who like it, a tiny piece of garlic. Cover the pan and let it cook very slowly, Just simmering quietly. for ar hour and a half. If "the water reduces too much, add a little more, but it must be bolling, The importance of slow and regular cooking must be insisted on, for otherwise there is a tendency" for the skins of the beans to harden Once you have cooked haricot beans in this way you will never use say other.
TRY THESE WAYS. WITH
KIDNEY
Here are a few ways of serving kidneys. One: Halved,, skewered and grilled and served with a dab of maltre d'hotel butter in each

Food for as invalid has to be carefully and daintily prepared to be appetising.
These two recipes for invalid dishes are given by special re- quest.
FISH CUSTARD
For this, you need one
egg
pint of milk, a whiting, or any kind of white fish such as sole or plaice, pepper and salt, a small piece of butter, l'a leison..
First cook the fish with bones, head and skin, in the milk, adding a pinch of salt and a tiny.dash of mace. Zift out when done, although if liked the bones may be simmered longer in the milk. Strain off fish and bones, and re- move all meat from bones. Beat up the egg and stir into the hot milk.
Butter a pretty china dish, lay the fish in this, pour the custard round, cover with a greased paper, set the dish or mould in a pan of
water, boiling
reaching three-
parts up the mould, and steam for "three-quarters of an hour. It can be turned out, "I liked, and garn"- Ished with cut lemon, or served in the dish.
BAKED SWEETBREADS
For this you need one set of calf's or lamb's sweetbread, one of fire bread- egg, a handful crumbs, a plece of butter the size of a small egg.
First soak the sweetbreads In salted water for ten minutes, then have a saucepan of boiling salted water ready, drop them in this and parboll (ten minutes only). Laft out, drain, wipe dry, then egg and breadcrumb them.
Have a fireproof dish ready, put the butter in this and when melt- ed
lay the sweetbreads in and bake in the oven for 20 minutes. If liked, the rest of the egg may be utised with a gill of milk to make 4 savoury custard to serve with them.
VEAL KIDNEY
Veal kidney, which is far more delicate in flavour than sheep's kidney, can be cooked in any of the foregoing ways, but it is best of all when cookled in a casserole as follows: You must have the whole kidney for this, and just leave on it a thin surround of its fat. Season It Ughtly with salt and pepper, and put it into the casserole, in which you have melt- ed an ounce of butter.. Put on the id; and put the whole thing straight Into, the oven, giving it 25 to 30 minutes' cooking and turning it over once or twice. When it is done, pour over it a spoonful or two of good,” clear alternate gravy and serve it at once. It perhaps should still be slightly, pink inside,
and is really excellent.
Blanch four uncre of almonds in hot enter and put them to dry in a cool oven, into a saucepan, put que pound of "loaf sugar, and pint af water. When the half a sugar has melted, add a pinch of tream of tartar and boil the mi- ture until it is golden in colour, Take the pan from the fine and

USE of
ADVERTISING
IF
the claims made are proved a fallacy? Would you buy that article a second time? While advertising is a powerful force in educating as to the uses, merits or money saving advantages of a product, the people are the judges when they make their first purchase. "Delivering the goods" is what they demand, and the scrap heap of failures is piled with goods that could not stand the test of public judg ment. ASPRO' messages are carefully planned to prove what 'ASPRO' can do to alleviate pain and suffering, and the reason of its success through- out the civilised world is simple, because it fulfil's all claims made for it. Its purity is its safety, and its quick action the healing service humanity appreciates. 'ASPRO conforms to the standard of purity laid down by the British Pharmacopoeia (the guiding authority of the Medical Profession), and the 15 uses enumerated below make it an invaluable quick first-aid emergency in every bome.
