��How to Keep the Mois- ture in Cheese
CHEESE would not get stale and dry so quickly if proper care were taken of it as soon as it comes into the kitchen. If a whole cheese is bought at one time, after the first slice has been taken out of it, the fiat side of a warm knife should be rubbed over the cut surface. This closes the pores and keeps the cheese moist.
Whenever possible, cheese should be wrapped in oiled or parchment paper. When such paper is not obtainable, cheesecloth which has been moistened in salt water and then wrung out almost dry, may be substituted.
It must not be kept too moist or it will go moldy.

��*'Stretching" a Pound of Butter to Make Two Pounds
TWO pounds of good table butter out of one pound and a pint of milk? Yes, it's done. The churn which performs the feat was recently placed upon the market. It is square in shape and heavy of glass, and the churning m_echan- ism, entirely of metal, is attached to the glass churn by a metal screw cap. In making the "stretched" butter the churn is warmed before the milk and shaved butter are put in. After stirring one minute the whole churn is placed into cold water and the operation is completed by churning for another minute. Salt and, if de- sired, some coloring should be added before churning.

��They Carried Stoves in Their Arms And Kept From Freezing
THEY sat huddled up together, four chorus-girls, in a freez- ingly cold New York street-car on one of the days that New York shivered and wondered whether it would ever be warm again. Each girl held in her hands what looked like an oval- shaped can wrapped in some fabric. "What are they hold- ing?"
Everybody in the car asked himself that question.
The mysterious cans proved to be automo- bile foot-warmers, heated by charcoal. Carrying a stove in your arms must have its pleas- ant side, judging from the expressions of the girls in our photograph. They would be awkward for shopping though.
