 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.

 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.

 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. 
 Cook the spaghetti, broken into inch pieces, in water, in a vessel by itself, 
 till tender. Add a little butter to the spaghetti, just as it is done; strain 
 the meat out of its soup; season to taste; put in the spaghetti and the 
 water it was cooked in. Let it boil up once and serve. 
 
 CONSOMME. 
 
 Five pounds of clear beef cut from the lower part of the round, five 
 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 
 again, stirring frequently that the potato may become thoroughly dissolved, 
 and season just before serving, Serve very hot.

 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

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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 PRESER VING 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.

 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.

 ]V1r. T. E. Hocce, Sir: — Your Leach Roaster

 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.

 Mr. T. E. Hogge, Sir: — I fully endorse the

 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.

 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.

 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.

 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. 
 
 Lactated Food is sold by druggists, or mailed on receipt of price, 25 cents,

 card free to any mother sending baby's name and age.
