In offering to the public this first edition of the '•Universal
Cook Book" the ladies in charge of its publication desire to re-
turn their thanks to the many firms whose advertising patronage
has assured success to the enterprise.

We believe we can conscientiouslv'recommend every article
found advertised herein.

We gratefully acknowledge a generous donation of Evapor-
ated Cream and delicious Ice Cream from the Helvetia Milk Con-
densing Co.; a quantity of "New England" Condensed Mince
Meat from the manufacturer. T. E. Dougherty, and an elegant
silver "Self Pouring" Teapot from Paine, Diehl & Co., of Phila-
delphia.

Attention is called to the Can Opener advertised by Boothby
& Co. It is a time and temper saver and renders can opening no
longer an unpleasant task.

Our obligations extend to the King's Daughters of Province-
town, Mass., who have kindlv supplied many excellent recipes
from their own cook book.

Especial care has been observed in the selection of recipes^ all op
which have been closely scanned and revised by the members of Mrs.
Riley's cooking class who have also added a large number of new and
valuable formulas.

We have endeavored to compile a useful, practical, "every
day" cook book and with confidence in its merits we submit
the result of our efforts.

ijniversal Cook Book,

SOUPS.

STOCK I.

Take six pounds of shin of beef ; wipe it and cut meat from the bone
into small pieces; put bone and part of meat into a kettle and cover with
four quarts of cold water. Let it soak a half hour. Take marrow which
was cut from meat and melt in a pan. Slice three onions and fry brown
in marrow, skim into the kettle and put in remaining meat and fry brown;
add this to soup, then three tablespoons each of carrot and turnips, two
stalks celery, little parsley and bayleaf, ten cloves, ten pepper corns and
three teaspoons mixed herbs, tied in a cloth. One tablespoon salt.
Simmer eight or ten hours and strain. Cool quickly. Remove the fat,
allow white and shell of one egg for each quart of stock. Beat egg and
mix well with cold stock. Then heat and boil five minutes. Remove, add
one-half cup cold water and let it stand until ready to strain. Strain
through napkin or double cheese cloth laid over fine strainer.

THE UNIVERSAL

STOCK 2.

Procure a shin of beef. Have it broken in parts, let it boil slowly at
the back of the range all day in a gallon of water; at night skim out the
bones and meat, and set the soup away in a cool place, closely covered.
Next morning you will have a thick jelly covered with fat which should be
skimmed off, leaving a fine base for soup, which may be weakened if
preferred. If not, add for soup an onion and a piece of butter, size of an
^gg, which have been browned in same pan, a tablespoonful of browned
flour, mixed with a teaspoonful of celery salt, and a tablespoonful of
Worchcstershire sauce; cut up a carrot, a turnip, a root of celery,
a little parsley, thyme or summer savory, and to all add a few cloves (half
a dozen) and pepper to taste. Add all and let them cook till the vegetables
are done. Then strain and serve.

SAVE THE BONES FOR SOUP.

Many housekeepers throw away the stock for good soups. You
should save the scraps of beefsteak and the bones of a roast. Two or
three kinds make it all the better. The carcass of a turkey or a pair of
fowls make excellent soup with rice or barley. Boil the bones for five or
six hours, let stand over night, then remove the fat and strain. Any kind
of soup can be made by adding tomato, vermicelli, macaroni or chopped
vegetables.

SOUPS.

All vegetables are available for soup. The favorite vegetable soup
made from fresh tomatoes, corn and I,ima beans is almost as good when
the canned vegetables are employed. For chicken soup with rice and
milk, no herbs but parsley should be used. The shin of veal or beef is the
legitimate soup-bone; but any other bone may be used. Crack the bones
before boiling, for the sake of the marrow, and do not put salt in until the
meat has been well boiled — it has a tendency to harden the fibers and
prevent the flow of the jviices of the meat. You cannot well boil it too
long, short of the time when the meat boils into rags and strings. If kept
where they will not sour, and heated slowly so as not to scorch, most soups
are better the second dav than the first.

VEAL SOUP WITH SPAGHETTI.

Three pounds veal, knuckle or scrag, with the bones broken, and
meat cut off, three quarts water, one-fourth pound spaghetti. Boil the
meat in the water alone until reduced to shreds, three hours at least.

quarts cold water; cut the beef into small pieces, add the water and let it
come to a boil gradually; skim carefully and set where it will keep at the
boiling point eight or ten hours; strain and set away to cool. In the morn-
ing skim off all the fat, pour the soup into a kettle, being careful to keep
back the sediment. Put into the soup one onion, one stalk of celery, two
sprigs of parsley, two sprigs of thyme, two of summer savory, two leaves of
sage, two bay leaves, twelve pepper corns, six whole cloves; boil gently
twenty minutes, strain through a napkin, first seasoning with salt and
pepper to taste; tie the herbs together before putting into the soup.

BOUILLON.

Two pounds lean beef chopped fine, pour over it one quart cold water,
put it in a porcelain kettle, cover tight and let it simmer four hours.
Strain off the tea and let it cool, beat the white of one egg and add to the
tea, put it on the stove and stir until it comes to a boil; let it
boil until it becomes perfectly clear, skimming, then strain through a fine
napkin and season with salt to taste.

POTATO SOUP.

Three pints of rich milk, one pint of mashed potato, two tablespoonfuls
of butter, pepper and salt to taste. Boil the milk, add the potato and boil

The above cut represents one of our Openers with a can nearly opened.
It![sho\vs a clean, smooth hole, with edges turned under so it is impossible
to get cut by the rough edges.

The merits of this Can Opener are:

I. — It leaves no ragged edges to get cut on.

2. — A can may be opened in one-half the time it takes with an}- other
opener.

3. — It is adjustable to different sized cans.

4. — it is just the Can Opener every family needs.

Directions.— Oofti all cans on the bottom. Take the handle with points on it in
left hand, throw the other haTidle around to the left, fitvss or drive the points and knife
into the can placf thumb of left hand on edge of the can, hold firm and pull with right hand

PLAIN OYSTER STEW.

Take one pint oysters, add half cup cold water, stir with fork. Take
out of liquor with fork, one at a time; put in a sauce pan with part of the
liquor strained through fine sieve; put on the stove and when it comes to a
boil, add one quart milk and skim carefully. Let it come to a boil again
but do not boil, add salt to taste, one third cup butter and stir until butter
is all dissolved; serve.

OYSTER CUTLETS.

Soak two tablespoons of bread crumbs in liquor from one cup of
oysters. Chop 03'sters fine and add crumbs, one cup chopped chicken and
salt, pepper and lemon juice. Cook one tablespoon each of flour and
butter until frothy, add the oyster mixture and cook three minutes; add

the oysters into the eggs and stir gently; then take one after another, roll
in bread crumbs; place each one in your left hand, in taking them
from the crumbs, and with the other hand press gently on it. Put them
away in a cool place for about half an hour, and then dip again in egg;
roll in bread crumbs and press in the hand as before. While you are pre-
paring them set some fat on the fire in a pan, and when hot enough drop
the oysters in, stir gently, take off with a skimmer when fried, turn into a
colander, add salt, and serve hot.

ESCALOPED OYSTERS.

Butter the sides and bottom of the baking dish. Examine the oysters
carefully and remove any pieces of shell; then cover the bottom of the dish
with a thick layer of oysters, put lumps of butter thickly over the top and
sprinkle with salt and pepper. Next lay a layer, not too deep, of bread
crumbs and pounded crackers, half and half. Fill the dish in this manner
with alternate layers of oysters, seasoning, bread and cracker crumbs,
covering the top with crumbs and lumps of butter. Do not add liquid of
any kind, and if there has not been too large a proportion of bread and
cracker used it will be sufficiently moist, and will be much better made in
this way. One-half hour at least will be required in baking.

OYSTER CHOWDER.

Wash one quart oysters, pick over, drain and boil the oyster liquor;
skim; cut a one-inch cube of salt pork into small pieces and fry; fry one
onion cut fine in the pork fat until yellow; skim out the scraps of pork and
onion, and put in three-fourths of a quart of pared and sliced potatoes
which have been parboiled; cover with boiling water and cook until tender
then add the oyster liquor and the oysters; cook until their edges curl; add
two tablespoonfuls flour, moistened with a little cold water until a thin
paste; cook five miniites; add one pint hot milk, one tablespoonful butter,
salt and pepper to taste; add a few oyster crackers and serve. The onion
and pork may be omitted from the above rule if desired. The potatoes are
parboiled to extract any bitter taste they may have. The thickening can
be omitted if preferred.

MEATS.

ROAST BEEF.

Lay the meat on a rack in a pan, and dredge all over with salt, pepper
and flour. Put it in a very hot oven with two or three tablespoon fuls of
drippings of pieces of the beef fat placed in the pan. Put the skin side
down at first, that the heat may harden the juices in the lean part. Baste
often and dredge twice with salt and flour. When seared all over, turn
and bring the skin side up for the final basting and browning. Bake ten
miinutes to a pound if liked very rare. If there be any danger of burning
the fat in the pan, add a little hot water after the flour is browned.

GRAVY.

Remove the meat when done to a heated dish, skim the drippings, add
a little boiling water, a little browned flour, and boil up once, then strain
it and send to the table in a gravy-boat.

YORKSHIRE PUDDING.

Beat three eggs very light, add salt and one pint of milk, and one cup
of flour. Bake in hot gem pans. Baste with the drippings from the beef.
Serve as a garnish to roast beef.

POTTED BEEF.

Take a large beef shank and put in cold water. Boil until perfectly
tender. Remove bone and cartilage, chop meat fine and replace in the ket-
tle with the liquor which should be one quart. Let it simmer and season
with salt, pepper and mace. Press and cut in slices.

Tabasco

It is simply the Pulp of the

Ripe Pepper Extracted

by Pressure.

Pepper

OR
LIQUID PEPPER.

Sauce,

The seed of this pepper was obtained from Central America and by
careful cultivation in Louisiana for many years has been so improved in
strength, flavor and aroma as to have become a new variety of Red Pepper,
superior to all others. The pulp is so handled as to retain all the flavor,
strength, aroma and color of the ripe fruit, and to keep unimpaired in any
climate. It excites the appetite, promotes digestion, and is pronounced by
connoisseurs to be the finest condiment in the world. For medicinal pur-
poses it recommends itself by its purity, strength and difi"usible form.

From the Hon. Harvey D. Colvin, Ex-Mayor of Chicago:

Chicago, July 24th, 1890.

S. H. Klinck, — Dear Sir: I am pleased to say that I consider your remedy the best medicine in ex-
istence for the human afflictions you claim to cure. I suffered from catarrh with bronchitis for many
years. During that time I employed physicians and faithfully tried many so-called remedies advertised
to cure this disease, without any material benefit, when a friend induced me to try your remedy, claim-
ing others had been cured by it. The first bottle gave me the most pleasing results. I have continued
its use and cannot say too much for it. It found me too near the grave for comfort and restored me to
health again. It adorns my toilet stand and by using it occasionally I am kept well.

I would not be without it if it cost $2S per bottle. I earnestly recommend it to all my afflicted
friends.

Paid Policyholders since Organization in 1845, $112,911,500.18.

In a Mutual Life Insurance Company every dollar saved in expenses is a dollar added to dividends,
and a dollar saved in the actual cost of insurance. The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company is
conspicuous iov \X% econonomical xn3,r\3,%tme-a.\.. iox \\\e^ magnitude oi'Wi dividends, for the liberal-
ity of its Policy Contract, and for Wsfair dealing with its members. No policy can be forfeited
after the second year as long as any value remains to continue the insurance. The Full Reserve value
of a lapsed Policy computed on the 4 per cent, standard is applied to keeping the insurance in force; or,
if preferred, to the purchase of a Paid up Policy at the Company's regular published rates. After the
second year Policies are incontestable, except against intentional fraud, and all restrictions upon travel
or occupation are removed. The Company loans up to one-half of the reserve value of its Policies
when satisfactory assignments can be made as collateral security; and its practice as to the purchase of
Policies for cash values has always been extremely liberal. Losses are paid immediately on com-
pletion and approval of proofs; and in all essential features a Policy in the Mutual Benefit offers advan-
tages egual if not superior to those of any other Company.

COOK BOOK.

Inventors have long sought a suitable method of canning fruit and
other foods tvithotit cookimj or the use of chemicals. Hundreds of
dollars and years of patient labor have been expended, but it has been re-
served for a woman — Miss Amanda T. Jones, of Chicago — to be the inven-
tor of this hitherto undiscovered process. The practicability of the process
being established, a company has been incorporated with '|i, 000,000 cap-
italization under the name of

THE WOMAN'S CANNING i PRESERVING CO.

Manufacturing was begun in January of this j-ear. The first
product — lunch tongues — (for the process is applicable to cooked foods as
well), has produced the verdict from wholesale dealers, that with such im-
provements the whole canning industry wull be revolutionized. Three
factories, besides the one now in operation, will be established before
autumn.

The new process consists of j^lf^cing the cans in a hollow
chest from which the air has been expelled by hot steam and
that in turn condensed by sjyraying cold ttfater without. This
produces a vacnmn and the cans are then sealed by delicate machinerj'.
As every particle of gas is thus expelled from the canned goods, tleconi-
position is impossible. The process further is so simjile that
its cost is relatively less than the ordinary methods.

Do You Wish Perfectly Cooked Food?

IF SO, YOU SHOULD AT ONCE SUPPLY YOUR KITCHEN WITH A

LEACH
ROASTER (^m''

AND
BAKER.

They Save Health, They Save Food, Tliey Save Time, Tliey Save Labor, They
Save Worry, They Save .'Money,

Vour Roasts, and Fowls will come from the oven rich, tender and juicy, and with
all their nutriment and flavor retained. Your Bread and Cakes will be simply perfect.
No article cooked in the Roaster and Baker can burn.

It is a self-baster and requires no watching. It will do its work while you are busy
about your household duties or at church.

description: — It is not a comoln ated affair, but is merely two pans of equal size
so arranged thai the heat and steam is retained inside, so that the article, whether roast-
ing or baking, will not become dry and hard, as it does in an open pan unless the cook
keeps a constant watch on the article being baked.

Oak Park, Sept. 9, 1890.
]V1r. T. E. Hocce, Sir: — Your Leach Roaster
is all that can be desired in this line. Meat
baked in it has a much finer flavor than in the
old way, and with little or no trouble or atten-
tion. Resp'y, Mrs. W. E. Hughs.

WooDLAWN Park, Sept. 12. 1890.
Mr. T. E. Hogge, Sir: — I fully endorse the
above statement. It also makes the meat ten-
der without waste by shrinkage.

Very Resp'y Mrs. R. E. Rapp.

Chicago, III.. Sept. 9, 1890.
Mr. T. E. Hogge, Sir: — I fully endorse the
above statements, and furthermore say it will,
with proper use. make "tough meat tender" and
fine flavored. I would not be without one for
many times its cost.

Yours Resp'y, Mrs. A. W. Sweet,

6929 Dickey Street.

Chicago, Sept. 22, 1599 W. Madison St.
Thos. E. Hogge; — As you requested I tested
the Leach Roaster on quality and shrinkage of
the roast. I weighed the roaster and meat to-
gether; it was 12'/^ lbs I then at 8 o'clock put
it in the oven with ^ pint water. At 12 o'clock
I took it out and found to my astonishment
that it still weighed iiX lbs., and was the best
roast I have tasted for 40 years. 4t is certainly
the best thing to roast meats I ever saw.

Resp'y, J. E. Davis, M. D.
For cooking meats the "Leach Roaster" is
most satisfactory. Mrs. J. L. Sherman.

6615 Perry Avenue.
I am delighted with the "Leach Roaster" as
a bread baker. Mrs. E. A. Rice,

JAM.

Strawberries, blackberrie.s or raspberries make good jam and if put up
air tight three fourths sugar is sufficient, but put in glasses like jelly it is
it is best to make it pound for pound. It should be cooked three quarters
of an hour and must be carefully watched to prevent burning. The best
way to cover jam and jelly is with melted parafine, which excludes all air.

PINE-APPLE.

The best way to retain the natural flavor is to put equal quantities of
granulated sugar and grated pine-apple in small jars and cover tightly. It
is delicious for ices, creams or puddings.

SPICED CURRANTS.

For five pounds of currants use four of sugar, a pint of vinegar and two
tablespoons each of cinnamon and cloves. Simmer two hours and place in
jars. Gooseberries or grapes may be done the same.

PIE PLANT ^PRESERVE.

Use equal amount of pie plant cut fine and sugar. Place pie plant in
the kettle with a little water and cook until the juices come, add the sugar
and simmer an hour.

CHILI SAUCE.

Put in kettle nine large tomatoes, two cups of vinegar, one tablespoon
of salt and four of sugar. Add a large onion chopped with three green
peppers, then a teaspoon of each of the spices. Boil one hour, fill bottles
and seal.

No Parboiling,

Bakes

Meats, Fowl, Fish, Game,

Puddings, Cakes

and Bread.

There are many other bake jjans which claim to do all the Tt- nnessee
Bake Pan does, but wherever this bake pan is introduced it immediately
crowds out all others and at once establishes itself with the people for the
following reasons:

1. Because it retains all the juices and flavor of the meat.

2. Becau.se it cooks quicker and more evenly.

3. Because almost any sort of tough beef and fowls can be cooked

done and tender in it. , , , •, 1 • • -4.

4. Because nothing can be burned or .scorched wiiile cooking in it.

5'. Because two or more different articles can be cooked in the same
pan at one time, and each retain its distinct taste and flavor.

6. Because it saves time, trouble, worry, and even fuel, and makes any-
thing cooked in it more plea.sant to the taste and more nutritious.

We ask vou only to give our invention an examination and fair trial and
you will be convinced of its merits. It does more than we claim for it.

From wife of Gov. W.J. Northen, of Ga.:
The (Tennessee) Bake Pan reached me in safe-

to testify to its merits. 1 am much pleased
with it. Respectfully.

What will a mother give to save the life of her child ?
All that she has.

And yet it is such a sinii)le thing to keep the bab^- well, when you
know how.

If the nursing mother is weak and out of, health, the babe will vomit its

will result.

Thousands of intelligent mothers and careful physicians have found Lac-
tated Feod the best one they could use. It is pure, nourishing and strength-
giving.

" I have thoroughly tried the other infant foods on the market, and speak
advisedly when I sjiy there is no other food that so thoroughly agrees and nour-
ishes as Lactated Food. I feel that it saved the life of my own fourteen
months old boy. JST. P. Tvleu, M.D.. New Rochelle, N.Y , Oct. 14, 1890.
