+The New Royal Cook Book
+
+
+The new Royal Cook Book has been prepared to meet the large and ever
+increasing demand for a guide to wholesome and palatable home cooking.
+The young housewife will find here complete simple directions for making
+delicious cakes and other culinary delights. Experienced cooks and those
+more skilled in the art will find here many of their favorite recipes
+and in addition helpful suggestions, especially in the matter of saving
+eggs and other expensive materials.
+
+=Every recipe has been tested many times and all have been found
+excellent.=
+
+Royal Baking Powder is used in all recipes in which a leavening agent is
+required, and the biscuits, muffins, griddle cakes, doughnuts, cakes and
+pastry prepared by its use are unequalled in texture and healthfulness.
+"Royal" imparts a fine appearance, and a particularly good flavor to the
+food.
+
+Housekeepers are urged to avoid substitutes for Royal Baking Powder.
+Failures in baking often result from the use of sour milk and soda, or
+even home made mixtures of cream of tartar and soda, because of
+inability to determine the uncertain strength of such materials and
+hence the proper proportions to use.
+
+=Avoid all guess work by using "Royal." It is always the same, always
+dependable.=

+SOME SECRETS OF GOOD COOKING
+
+
+The addition of one or two teaspoons of Royal Baking Powder to plain
+pastry will add wonderfully to its qualities, making it very light and
+tender.
+
+_Omelets_ are improved by the addition of a small amount of Royal Baking
+Powder.
+
+Royal Baking Powder may be added with great advantage to _bread
+pudding_, _poultry dressing_, _stuffed_ or _deviled crabs_ and other
+preparations in which broken bread or bread crumbs are used.
+
+_Icings_ and especially Ornamental Icings are improved in texture and
+flavor by the addition of about a teaspoon of Royal Baking Powder.
+
+Instead of adding soda to keep color in green vegetables use Royal
+Baking Powder.
+
+
+
+
+Royal Baking Powder
+
+
+For raising or leavening breads, biscuits, rolls, muffins, griddle
+cakes, doughnuts, cakes, pastries, puddings and other similar foods.
+
+
+Absolutely Pure and Wholesome
+
+The principal active ingredient of Royal Baking Powder is Royal Grape
+Cream of Tartar, a derivative of rich, ripe grapes. It perfectly aerates
+and leavens the batter or dough and makes the food finer in appearance,
+more delicious to the taste, and more healthful.
+
+It possesses the greatest practicable leavening strength, never varies
+in quality, and will keep fresh and perfect in all climates until used.
+
+
+The Standard for over 50 Years
+
+For over 50 years Royal Baking Powder has been the standard. Most of the
+famous baking recipes in use today were created with it. Most of the
+famous cooking schools use it. Housewives all over the world have
+followed the lead of the American housewife and insist upon it. "I must
+have La Royal," say our Spanish-speaking neighbors in Mexico, Cuba and
+South America. "I want Royal Baking Powder and no other," say housewives
+in England, Scotland and Ireland.
+
+Only unequalled quality could create such a world-wide demand.
+
+
+Used in Leading Hotels
+
+Prominent chefs and expert bakers in America, including those of the
+famous restaurants in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other cities,
+consider Royal Baking Powder the most reliable, most efficient and the
+most dependable leavening agent.
+
+Physicians recommend Royal Baking Powder for its wholesomeness and for
+the healthful qualities that it adds to the food.

+
+_For Making the Finest and Most Healthful Food, Royal Baking Powder is
+Indispensable._
+
+
+
+
+GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
+
+
+Where shortening is mentioned in the recipes it is understood that
+butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of butter substitute or
+vegetable oil may be used.
+
+
+MEASUREMENTS
+
+All measurements for all materials called for in the recipes in this
+book are level.
+
+The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is divided into
+fourths and thirds.
+
+To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and scrape off excess with
+back of knife.
+
+One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.
+
+Sift flour before measuring.
+
+
+BAKING
+
+Regulate the oven carefully before mixing the ingredients. Many a cake
+otherwise perfectly prepared is spoiled because the oven is too hot or
+not hot enough.
+
+Biscuits and pastry require a hot oven; cakes, a moderate oven.
+
+When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the sides of the pan. A
+light touch with the finger which leaves no mark is another indication
+that the cake is baked.

+Roasting
+

+some pieces of fat in bottom of pan, and season meat with salt and
+pepper. Have oven very hot at first and when meat is half done reduce
+heat. Baste every 10 to 15 minutes. If there is danger of fat in pan
+being scorched add a little boiling water. Roast from 10 to 15 minutes
+for each pound of meat, as it is desired rare or well done.
+
+
+Broiling
+
+The rules for roasting meat apply to broiling, except that instead of
+cooking it in the oven it is to be quickly browned, first on one side
+and then on the other, over hot coals or directly under a gas flame,

+pan. For thin gravy pour a little boiling water into pan after meat is
+taken out.
+
+
+Boiling and Stewing
+
+Fresh meat for boiling should be put into boiling water and boiled hard
+for about 5 minutes; reduce heat and boil gently about 20 minutes for
+each pound, salt and spices may be added for seasoning. A little vinegar
+put into the water with tough meat makes it tender. The broth of boiled
+meat should always be saved for soups, stews or gravies. Salt meats
+should be put in cold water, which as soon as it boils should be
+replaced by fresh cold water, repeating if necessary until meat has
+palatable flavor when done. Salted and smoked meats require about 30
+minutes slow boiling, to each pound. Vegetables and herbs may be boiled
+with them to flavor. When cooked keep hot until required, if they are to
+be served hot; if they are to be served cold, cool in liquor in which
+they were boiled. Very salt meats, or those much dried in smoking,
+should be soaked over night in cold water.
+
+
+Pot Roasting
+
+Tough cuts of meat may be first browned in fat, then half covered with
+boiling water and cooked slowly either in oven or in iron kettle on top
+of stove. This method requires long, slow cooking.

+How to Make Coffee
+
+The best method of making coffee, as determined by the Better
+Coffee-Making Committee of the National Association of Coffee Roasters,
+is as follows:
+
+"Fill a kettle with fresh cold water and put it on to boil. Place over
+an open china teapot, kept just for coffee, a clean, wet, old linen
+napkin, or a new square of unbleached muslin, letting it sag toward the
+center. Put into the depression 4 heaping tablespoons (for 4 cups of
+coffee) of finely pulverized coffee. This fine pulverization is very
+important. Ordinary ground coffee will not do at all, and gives weak
+infusions.
+
+"When the water in the kettle is boiling fiercely, pour it through the
+coffee slowly until 4 cups have gone through, or a trifle more for 4
+cups of coffee.
+
+"Cover and take at once to table.
+
+"Wash the cloth immediately and keep it in a jar of cold water, never
+permitting it to get dry, and freshening the water every day. Keeping
+the cloth sweet is essential. Every effort should be made to this end.
+The least souring ruins the coffee.
+
+"Follow these directions strictly, paying especial attention to having
+the coffee very fine, like flour, and the water boiling, and you will
+have excellent coffee even though you buy cheap blends."
+
+
+Boiled Coffee
+

+
+
+
+Fireless Cookery
+
+
+The Fireless Cooker has become an important factor in the home. The
+principle employed is the preservation of heat by the use of
+non-conducting materials. The device ordinarily used is a rectangular
+box lined on all sides with some substance which will prevent escape of
+heat, with spaces or wells for the insertion of stone or metal discs or
+radiators and vessels containing food to be cooked.
+
+Among the advantages of this method are: the improvement in flavor by
+slower cooking with little opportunity for evaporation; improved
+appearance of food that is subject to shrinkage when cooked by ordinary
+methods; saving in labor, as the cooking practically takes care of
+itself. Dinner may be prepared in the morning, placed in the cooker, and
+without further attention be ready to serve at any time after 3 or 4
+hours. While the time required for cooking is longer than in the usual
+methods, the actual time consumed in preparation of a meal is
+considerably reduced.
+
+
+DIRECTIONS
+
+Prepare food for cooking as usual. Place in special vessel, designed to
+fit into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat on range or over gas flame
+until ordinary cooking temperature is reached. Put into cooker with one
+or more radiators which have been heated for 10 or 15 minutes over hot
+fire. For roasting, radiator should be hot enough to brown a pinch of
+flour immediately. Close cover, fasten lightly so that the steam may
+escape and allow cooking to proceed for time specified in recipes.
+
+For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed as for roasting. The time
+required for baking is slightly longer than that specified for regular
+ovens. For cake ordinarily baked in a moderate oven, heat radiators hot
+enough to brown a pinch of flour in half a minute.
+
+The Fireless Cooker is especially convenient for the preparation of
+cereals, meats, vegetables and other dishes that are ordinarily boiled
+or roasted. Remember that foods should be thoroughly heated before
+putting into cooker.
+
+
+Cereals
+
+Prepare cereal for cooking in double boiler as usual. Boil over fire for
+5 minutes; place in larger vessel of boiling water in cooker and allow
+it to remain 4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in cooker at night it
+should remain warm enough to serve for breakfast.
+
+
+Steaming
+
+For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread," "Steamed Fig Pudding," "Poor Man's
+Pudding," "Christmas Plum Pudding," etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as
+directed. Put into greased molds and place in shallow pan of boiling
+water over very hot radiator in cooker. Fasten cover tight and cook for
+5 to 6 hours.
+
+
+Soups
+
+Place ingredients in vessel; cover with cold water; bring to boil over
+free flame and boil 5 minutes. Fasten cover and transfer to cooker,
+using one hot radiator in bottom of well. Cook 3 or 4 hours and season
+when ready to serve.
+
+For ingredients and special directions for preparing soups, see "Soups."
+
+
+Roast Meats
+
+Prepare and season meat in usual way. Place in large dry vessel; put
+very hot radiator in bottom of cooker well; place vessel containing
+roast on radiator, and place another very hot radiator on top. Close
+cooker and fasten. Allow it to remain about one-half hour per pound of
+meat.
+
+The roast may be browned in a very hot oven before putting into cooker
+or just before serving.
+
+
+Boiled or Stewed Meats
+
+Prepare meat for cooking as usual, searing in frying pan if desired
+brown. Place in large vessel and cover or partly cover with boiling
+water, boiling with cover fastened tight for 10 or 15 minutes over free
+flame. Transfer to cooker, using one hot radiator underneath. Cook 2 or
+3 hours, season and serve.
+
+
+Vegetables
+
+Prepare vegetables as usual. Place in vessel with small quantity of
+boiling water. As there is little evaporation in fireless cookers,
+allowance does not have to be made for loss by evaporation. Boil over
+free flame for 5 to 10 minutes. Transfer to cooker, using one radiator
+in bottom of well. Cook 3 or 4 hours, remove from cooker, season and
+serve.
+
+
+
+
+Invalid Cookery
+
+
+Always prepare food for the sick in the most careful and attractive
+manner. In sickness the senses are unusually acute and far more
+susceptible to carelessness and mistakes in the preparation and serving
+of food than in health.

+remove fat. Beef tea may be served hot or cold.
+
+
+Scraped Beef
+
+Scrape meat with sharp knife from lean beef cut from round until nothing

+
+Preserving and Canning
+
+(Material adapted from U. S. Food Administration and N. Y. State
+Department of Agriculture.)
+
+
+General Directions
+
+Test all jars for leakage before using. To do this, fill with water, put
+on rubber and cover, seal and invert.
+
+Sterilize all utensils, jars, covers, etc., by covering with cold water,
+and boil for 10 minutes. Use only new rubbers and dip in boiling water
+just before using.
+
+Use a wide-mouthed funnel when filling jars to avoid loss of material
+and keep jar rim clean.
+
+Invert all jars after filling and sealing.
+
+Fruit should be sound, firm and not overripe. All fruit should be
+carefully prepared.
+
+Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils, and a clean kitchen free from
+flies, are essential for safety and success.
+
+Keep products in a cool place. Avoid freezing in winter.
+
+
+Canning
+
+Canning is the operation of preparing sterilized food so that it will
+keep indefinitely.
+
+The custom of canning fruit in syrup is based on the improvement in
+flavor and texture which sugar gives to fruit. Sugar is not necessary
+for its preservation. Success depends upon thorough sterilization--that
+is, killing the organisms which cause food to spoil, and then sealing
+carefully to prevent their entrance. Fruit may be canned in water, in
+fruit juice and in syrup.
+
+
+Preserving
+
+The only difference between preserving and canning fruit is that sugar
+is always used in preserving, while in canning it is used in smaller
+quantity or not at all. In preserving the old rule of equal weights of
+sugar and fruit may be followed.
+
+
+Directions for Canning by Open-Kettle Method
+
+By this method which is generally used, for preserves, jams and
+marmalades, food is completely cooked and poured boiling hot into
+sterilized jars.
+
+Prepare fruit, which may or may not be peeled, and cut into pieces
+depending on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches and similar fruits to
+loosen skin and chill by plunging into cold water. Cook slowly in as
+little water as possible or in fruit juice or fruit syrup until done.
+Fill the sterilized jars, seal and invert.
+
+
+Directions for Canning by Can-Cooked Method
+
+By this method uncooked or partly cooked food is packed in can or jar,
+covered with liquid and both jar and contents sterilized.
+
+Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald in boiling water a small
+quantity of the fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do not blanch
+cherries, sour cherries excepted, berries or plums.
+
+Chill outside of the blanched fruit by immersing it for a few minutes in
+a vessel of cold water. Remove skin from such fruits as peaches.
+
+Pack firmly in clean, tested jars to within one-half inch of top.
+
+Fill jars to within 1/4 inch of top with boiling water, fruit juice, or
+syrup.
+
+Place a new rubber on each jar, adjust cover and partly seal.
+
+Place jars on false bottom of water bath and sterilize for required
+time. (See time-table.) If the hot-water bath is used, jars should be
+immersed in sufficient boiling water to cover tops to depth of about 1
+inch. Do not begin to time the sterilizing until water boils. Keep water
+boiling during sterilizing period.
+
+Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them and invert to cool. Avoid a draft
+on jars, but cool as rapidly as possible.
+
+Wash and label jars. Wrap in paper or store in a dark place to prevent
+loss of color of red fruit.
+
+Vegetables may also be canned by this method.

+
+Use of Sugar in Canning Fruit
+
+Sugar is used in canning fruit for the purpose of improving flavor and
+is not necessary for preservation.
+
+Thin syrup--1 part sugar to 2 parts water for sweet fruits.
+
+Medium Syrup--1 part sugar to 1 part water for berries and medium sweet
+fruits.
+
+Thick Syrup--2 parts sugar to 1 part water for sour fruits.
+
+To make syrup add sugar to boiling water. Stir until all sugar is
+dissolved, then boil 2 or 3 minutes.
+
+
+Canned Peaches
+
+Scald sound, firm freestone peaches, a small number at a time, in
+boiling water just long enough to loosen skins; dip them quickly into
+cold water and slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves, and remove stones.
+Have ready a syrup made by boiling sugar and water together until sugar
+has dissolved, using 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar to each cup water. Allow about
+1 cup syrup for each quart jar of peaches. Put in 1 cracked peach pit
+for every quart of syrup.
+
+Can-cooked Method.--Pack peaches in overlapping layers with rounded side
+uppermost and blossom end facing glass. Fill each jar with hot syrup and
+adjust rubber, cover and upper clamp, thus partly sealing jar. Place
+jars on a rack in hot water to cover tops to a depth of 1 inch. Bring
+water to boiling point, and boil pint jars 16 minutes, quart jars 20
+minutes. Remove jars, seal and invert to cool.
+
+Open-kettle Method.--Cook peaches in syrup until tender; then with
+sterilized spoon slip them carefully into sterilized jar; fill jar to
+overflowing with syrup. Adjust rubber, cover, seal immediately, and
+invert to cool.
+
+
+Canned Cherries
+
+Wash. Cherries should be pitted before being canned in order to conserve
+space. Can sweet cherries as berries. Blanch sour cherries 1/2 minute,
+in boiling water. Dip in cold water; drain and pack closely into hot
+sterilized jars. Cover with boiling water or boiling medium syrup.
+Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in boiling water bath. Remove jars at
+once, tighten covers, invert to test seal and cool.
+
+
+Canned Pears
+
+Wash and peel fruit and follow directions for canned peaches.
+
+
+Canned Berries
+
+Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries, raspberries, loganberries,
+gooseberries and strawberries should be canned as soon as possible after
+picking. Hull or stem; place in strainer and wash by lifting up and down
+in pan of cold water.
+
+Pack into hot sterilized glass jars, using care not to crush fruit. To
+insure a close pack, put a 2 or 3 inch layer of berries on the bottom of
+jar and press down gently with spoon. Continue in this manner until jar
+is filled. Boiling water or boiling thin or medium syrup should be
+poured over the fruit at once. Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in
+boiling water. Remove jars, tighten covers, invert to test seal and
+cool.
+
+
+Asparagus
+
+Asparagus for canning must be fresh and tender. Select tips of uniform
+size and maturity and wash. Cut into lengths according to containers to
+be used. Scrape off scales, tough outer skins and hard ends and tie in
+bundles large enough for one jar.
+
+Immerse the lower ends in boiling water and leave them immersed for 5
+minutes, then the entire stalks, leaving them in 1 to 3 minutes longer.
+
+Cold dip, drain, pack neatly, tips up, in hot sterilized jars. Add salt
+and cover with boiling water. Loosely seal, sterilize two hours in
+boiling water bath. Remove as soon as time is up. Tighten covers, invert
+to test seal and cool.
+
+
+Beans
+
+Green String Beans and Wax Beans.--The beans should be tender and fresh,
+and graded according to size and washed. Leave whole or break in uniform
+pieces. Blanch 5 to 10 minutes until the pod will bend without breaking.
+Cold dip, drain well and pack into hot jars. Add salt and cover with
+boiling water. Loosely seal and sterilize two hours in boiling water.
+Remove when time is up, tighten covers, and invert to test seal.
+
+
+Corn
+
+Make careful selection of tender, juicy sweet corn, at best stage for
+table use. Can as soon as possible after gathering. Remove husks and
+silk; blanch tender ears 5 minutes, older ears 10 minutes. Cold dip and
+cut from cob but not too close. Pack at once into hot sterilized jars.
+As corn swells during sterilization, leave space of 1 inch at top. Add
+salt and cover with boiling water. Be sure that water penetrates through
+corn to the bottom of jar. Loosely seal and sterilize three hours in
+boiling water. Remove when time is up, tighten covers, invert to test
+seal and cool.
+
+
+Jams
+
+Jams are usually made with small fruits or with chopped large fruits.
+Cook slowly with an equal weight of sugar until thick; put into
+sterilized tumblers or jars and seal.
+
+
+Raspberry Jam
+
+Pick over berries. Mash a few in bottom of preserving kettle; continue
+until fruit is used. Heat slowly to boiling point and add equal quantity
+of heated sugar. Cook slowly 45 minutes. Put into sterilized jars.
+
+Blackberry, gooseberry or other berry jam may be made in this way.
+
+
+Plum Conserve
+
+    4 pounds plums
+    1 cup seeded raisins
+    2 oranges
+    sugar
+    juice of 1 lemon
+    1/2 pound walnuts
+
+Wash plums; remove stones; add raisins and oranges which have been
+sliced very fine. Measure and add 3/4 cup sugar to each cup fruit and
+juice. Put into kettle, cook slowly about 45 minutes or until thick like
+jam, stirring to keep from burning. Add lemon juice and chopped nuts.
+Pour into sterilized jars.
+
+
+Spiced Currants
+
+    3 lbs. white sugar
+    5 lbs. ripe currants
+    1 tablespoon cinnamon
+    1 tablespoon nutmeg

+    1/2 pint vinegar
+
+Boil currants one hour, then add sugar, spices and one-half pint
+vinegar, boil one-half hour longer. Pour into jars and store.
+
+
+Jellies
+
+Heat and mash fruit until juice runs readily. If fruit is not entirely
+broken up rub through coarse sieve. Pour into sterilized jelly bags of
+unbleached muslin or doubled cheesecloth and drain thoroughly but do not
+squeeze. Take 7/8 cup sugar for each cup of juice. Boil juice 8 to 20
+minutes (berries and currants less than other fruits); add sugar which
+has been heated in oven; stir until sugar is dissolved and boil about 5
+minutes. Pour into hot sterilized tumblers. Hard fruits like apples and
+quinces should be cut up, covered with cold water and cooked until
+tender before turning into jelly bags.

+Keep the Home Baking Safeguarded
+
+
+Housekeepers who have always used Royal Baking Powder with utmost
+satisfaction are sometimes misled into experimenting with baking powders
+containing questionable ingredients.
+
+No real economy is thus accomplished--in fact, the use of an
+unwholesome, undependable baking powder often produces a bitter taste in
+the food which makes it unappetizing and sometimes inedible, to say
+nothing of the injurious effect produced upon the digestive system.
+
+Royal Baking Powder is most economical. Its well-known dependability
+makes baking success simpler and surer, thus preventing loss of eggs,
+flour, butter and other ingredients. Only the best materials are used in
+its production--pure cream of tartar and tartaric acid, derived from
+grapes, bicarbonate of soda and corn starch, all scientifically blended
+and perfectly balanced. The best is always the most economical.
+
+=To insure food that is always delicious, wholesome and appetizing,
+insist on using Royal Baking Powder which is made from Cream of Tartar,
+derived from grapes.=
+
+
+
+
+BAKE IT WITH ROYAL AND BE SURE
+
+
+has been the motto for fifty years in millions of homes where good food
+is recognized as the first essential of good health and where pride is
+taken in good baking.
+
+One of the distinctive qualities of food baked with Royal Baking Powder
+is _wholesomeness_.
+
+This is health insurance of such vital importance that millions of women
+bake at home just to be sure that Royal Baking Powder is used.
+
+_Remember the adage_--
+
+"Bake it with Royal and be sure."

+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal

+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at http://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+http://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at http://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+<h1>The New Royal Cook Book</h1><br>
+<p>The new Royal Cook Book has
+been prepared to meet the large
+and ever increasing demand
+for a guide to wholesome and palatable
+home cooking. The young housewife
+will find here complete simple directions
+for making delicious cakes and
+other culinary delights. Experienced
+cooks and those more skilled in the art
+will find here many of their favorite recipes
+and in addition helpful suggestions,
+especially in the matter of saving eggs
+and other expensive materials.</p>
+
+<p><i><b>Every recipe has been tested
+many times and all have been
+found excellent.</b></i></p>
+
+<p>Royal Baking Powder is used in all
+recipes in which a leavening agent is required,
+and the biscuits, muffins, griddle
+cakes, doughnuts, cakes and pastry prepared
+by its use are unequalled in texture
+and healthfulness. "Royal" imparts a fine
+appearance, and a particularly good
+flavor to the food.</p>
+
+<p>Housekeepers are urged to avoid substitutes
+for Royal Baking Powder. Failures
+in baking often result from the use
+of sour milk and soda, or even home
+made mixtures of cream of tartar and
+soda, because of inability to determine
+the uncertain strength of such materials
+and hence the proper proportions to use.</p>
+
+<p><i><b>Avoid all guess work by using
+"Royal." It is always the same,
+always dependable.</b></i></p>

+<h2>SOME SECRETS OF GOOD COOKING</h2>
+
+
+<p>The addition of one or two teaspoons of Royal
+Baking Powder to plain pastry will add wonderfully
+to its qualities, making it very light and tender.</p>
+
+<p><i>Omelets</i> are improved by the addition of a small
+amount of Royal Baking Powder.</p>
+
+<p>Royal Baking Powder may be added with great
+advantage to <i>bread pudding</i>, <i>poultry dressing</i>,
+<i>stuffed</i> or <i>deviled crabs</i> and other preparations in
+which broken bread or bread crumbs are used.</p>
+
+<p><i>Icings</i> and especially Ornamental Icings are improved
+in texture and flavor by the addition of about
+a teaspoon of Royal Baking Powder.</p>
+
+<p>Instead of adding soda to keep color in green
+vegetables use Royal Baking Powder.</p>
+
+
+
+<hr style="width: 65%;"><p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_1" id="Page_1">[Pg 1]</a></span></p>
+<h2>Royal Baking Powder</h2>
+
+
+<p>For raising or leavening breads, biscuits, rolls, muffins, griddle
+cakes, doughnuts, cakes, pastries, puddings and other
+similar foods.</p><br>
+
+
+<p><b>Absolutely Pure and Wholesome</b></p>
+
+<p>The principal active ingredient of Royal Baking Powder is
+Royal Grape Cream of Tartar, a derivative of rich, ripe
+grapes. It perfectly aerates and leavens the batter or dough
+and makes the food finer in appearance, more delicious to
+the taste, and more healthful.</p>
+
+<p>It possesses the greatest practicable leavening strength, never
+varies in quality, and will keep fresh and perfect in all
+climates until used.</p><br>
+
+
+<p><b>The Standard for over 50 Years</b></p>
+
+<p>For over 50 years Royal Baking Powder has been the standard.
+Most of the famous baking recipes in use today were
+created with it. Most of the famous cooking schools use it.
+Housewives all over the world have followed the lead of
+the American housewife and insist upon it. "I must have
+La Royal," say our Spanish-speaking neighbors in Mexico,
+Cuba and South America. "I want Royal Baking Powder
+and no other," say housewives in England, Scotland and
+Ireland.</p>
+
+<p>Only unequalled quality could create such a world-wide
+demand.</p><br>
+
+
+<p><b>Used in Leading Hotels</b></p>
+
+<p>Prominent chefs and expert bakers in America, including
+those of the famous restaurants in New York, Chicago, San
+Francisco and other cities, consider Royal Baking Powder
+the most reliable, most efficient and the most dependable
+leavening agent.</p>
+
+<p>Physicians recommend Royal Baking Powder for its wholesomeness
+and for the healthful qualities that it adds to the
+food.</p>
+
+<hr style="width: 25%;">
+
+<p><i>For Making the Finest and Most Healthful Food, Royal
+Baking Powder is Indispensable.</i></p>

+<hr style="width: 65%;"><p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2"></a>[Pg 2]</span></p>
+<h2>GENERAL SUGGESTIONS</h2>
+
+<hr style="width: 25%;">
+
+<p>Where shortening is mentioned in the recipes it is understood
+that butter or lard, or an equivalent quantity of
+butter substitute or vegetable oil may be used.</p>
+
+
+<h3>MEASUREMENTS</h3>
+
+<p>All measurements for all materials called for in the
+recipes in this book are level.</p>
+
+<p>The standard measuring cup holds one-half pint and is
+divided into fourths and thirds.</p>
+
+<p>To make level measurements fill cup or spoon and
+scrape off excess with back of knife.</p>
+
+<p>One-half spoon is measured lengthwise of spoon.</p>
+
+<p>Sift flour before measuring.</p>
+
+
+<h3>BAKING</h3>
+
+<p>Regulate the oven carefully before mixing the ingredients.
+Many a cake otherwise perfectly prepared is spoiled
+because the oven is too hot or not hot enough.</p>
+
+<p>Biscuits and pastry require a hot oven; cakes, a moderate
+oven.</p>
+
+<p>When a cake is thoroughly baked it shrinks from the
+sides of the pan. A light touch with the finger which leaves
+no mark is another indication that the cake is baked.</p>

+
+
+<h3>Roasting</h3>
+
+<p>Wipe meat with damp cloth. Trim
+and tie into shape if necessary. Put
+some pieces of fat in bottom of pan,
+and season meat with salt and pepper.
+Have oven very hot at first and when
+meat is half done reduce heat. Baste
+every 10 to 15 minutes. If there is
+danger of fat in pan being scorched add
+a little boiling water. Roast from 10
+to 15 minutes for each pound of meat,
+as it is desired rare or well done.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Broiling</h3>
+
+<p>The rules for roasting meat apply to
+broiling, except that instead of cooking
+it in the oven it is to be quickly browned,
+first on one side and then on the other,
+over hot coals or directly under a gas
+flame, turning every minute until done.
+Meat an inch and one-half thick will
+broil in 8 to 15 minutes. Season after
+it is cooked.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Pan Broiling or Frying</h3>
+
+<p>Put meat to be broiled or fried in very
+hot frying pan, with very little or no
+fat. Turn every few minutes until
+cooked. Season and serve immediately.
+Steaks and chops may be pan-broiled
+without any fat in the pan. For thin
+gravy pour a little boiling water into
+pan after meat is taken out.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="Boiling_and_Stewing" id="Boiling_and_Stewing"></a>Boiling and Stewing</h3>
+
+<p>Fresh meat for boiling should be put
+into boiling water and boiled hard for
+about 5 minutes; reduce heat and boil
+gently about 20 minutes for each pound,
+salt and spices may be added for seasoning.
+A little vinegar put into the water
+with tough meat makes it tender. The
+broth of boiled meat should always be
+saved for soups, stews or gravies. Salt
+meats should be put in cold water, which
+as soon as it boils should be replaced
+by fresh cold water, repeating if necessary
+until meat has palatable flavor
+when done. Salted and smoked meats
+require about 30 minutes slow boiling, to
+each pound. Vegetables and herbs may
+be boiled with them to flavor. When
+cooked keep hot until required, if they
+are to be served hot; if they are to be
+served cold, cool in liquor in which they
+were boiled. Very salt meats, or those
+much dried in smoking, should be soaked
+over night in cold water.</p>

+
+<h3>How to Make Coffee</h3>
+
+<p>The best method of making coffee,
+as determined by the Better Coffee-Making
+Committee of the National Association
+of Coffee Roasters, is as follows:</p>
+
+<p>"Fill a kettle with fresh cold water
+and put it on to boil. Place over an open
+china teapot, kept just for coffee, a clean,
+wet, old linen napkin, or a new square of
+unbleached muslin, letting it sag toward
+the center. Put into the depression 4
+heaping tablespoons (for 4 cups of coffee)
+of finely pulverized coffee. This fine
+pulverization is very important. Ordinary
+ground coffee will not do at all, and
+gives weak infusions.</p>
+
+<p>"When the water in the kettle is boiling
+fiercely, pour it through the coffee
+slowly until 4 cups have gone through,
+or a trifle more for 4 cups of coffee.</p>
+
+<p>"Cover and take at once to table.</p>
+
+<p>"Wash the cloth immediately and keep
+it in a jar of cold water, never permitting
+it to get dry, and freshening the water
+every day. Keeping the cloth sweet is
+essential. Every effort should be made
+to this end. The least souring ruins the
+coffee.</p>
+
+<p>"Follow these directions strictly, paying
+especial attention to having the coffee
+very fine, like flour, and the water
+boiling, and you will have excellent coffee
+even though you buy cheap blends."</p>
+
+
+<h3>Boiled Coffee</h3>
+
+<p>For 4 cups. Beat half an egg white
+with 3 tablespoons cold water; add 3/4
+cup ground coffee and stir until moistened;
+put into scalded coffee pot; add
+1 quart boiling water and boil 5 minutes.
+Add 1/4 cup cold water and allow
+to stand 3 minutes to settle and serve.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="Cocoa" id="Cocoa"></a>Cocoa</h3>
+
+<p>The usual rule is 2 teaspoons cocoa, 1
+teaspoon sugar; 1 tablespoon cold water
+and 3/4 cup milk to each cup. Mix cocoa
+with sugar and cold water; cook over
+slow fire until thick; add milk, and boil
+1 minute.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Cocoa Syrup</h3>
+
+<blockquote>

+<p>Stir water and sugar in saucepan until
+dissolved; boil 5 minutes; mix cocoa
+with cold water to make a paste and
+add to boiling syrup; boil slowly for 10
+minutes; add salt. When cold put into
+bottle or glass jar in refrigerator. Take
+2 tablespoons of syrup for each glass or
+cup of milk. Serve with whipped cream.</p>
+
+<p>Served either hot or iced, this is a
+nourishing and delicious beverage.</p><p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</a></span></p>
+
+
+<h3>Tea</h3>
+
+<p>Water for tea should be freshly heated
+and just boiling. Teas are of different
+strength, but a safe rule is 1 teaspoon
+dry tea to 1 cup water. Scald teapot;
+put in dry tea and cover for 1 minute.
+Add boiling water and cover closely.
+Allow it to stand 3 to 6 minutes and
+strain off into a second hot pot.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Chocolate</h3>
+
+<p>Cut into small pieces 1 ounce unsweetened
+chocolate; add 1 tablespoon
+sugar and 2 tablespoons hot water. Boil
+all together till smooth; add gradually
+2 cups scalded milk; cook in double
+boiler 5 minutes. If desired add 1/4 teaspoon
+vanilla. Serve with whipped cream.</p>

+<h2><a name="Fireless_Cookery" id="Fireless_Cookery"></a>Fireless Cookery</h2>
+
+
+<p>The Fireless Cooker has become an
+important factor in the home. The
+principle employed is the preservation
+of heat by the use of non-conducting
+materials. The device ordinarily used is
+a rectangular box lined on all sides
+with some substance which will prevent
+escape of heat, with spaces or wells for
+the insertion of stone or metal discs or
+radiators and vessels containing food to
+be cooked.</p>
+
+<p>Among the advantages of this method
+are: the improvement in flavor by slower
+cooking with little opportunity for evaporation;
+improved appearance of food
+that is subject to shrinkage when
+cooked by ordinary methods; saving in
+labor, as the cooking practically takes
+care of itself. Dinner may be prepared
+in the morning, placed in the cooker,
+and without further attention be ready
+to serve at any time after 3 or 4 hours.
+While the time required for cooking is
+longer than in the usual methods, the
+actual time consumed in preparation of
+a meal is considerably reduced.</p><p><span class="pagenum">[Pg 45]</span></p>
+
+<h3>DIRECTIONS</h3>
+
+<p>Prepare food for cooking as usual.
+Place in special vessel, designed to fit
+into wells of Fireless Cooker, and heat
+on range or over gas flame until ordinary
+cooking temperature is reached. Put
+into cooker with one or more radiators
+which have been heated for 10 or 15
+minutes over hot fire. For roasting,
+radiator should be hot enough to brown
+a pinch of flour immediately. Close
+cover, fasten lightly so that the steam
+may escape and allow cooking to proceed
+for time specified in recipes.</p>
+
+<p>For baking cake, apples, etc., proceed
+as for roasting. The time required for
+baking is slightly longer than that specified
+for regular ovens. For cake ordinarily
+baked in a moderate oven, heat
+radiators hot enough to brown a pinch
+of flour in half a minute.</p>
+
+<p>The Fireless Cooker is especially convenient
+for the preparation of cereals,
+meats, vegetables and other dishes that
+are ordinarily boiled or roasted. Remember
+that foods should be thoroughly
+heated before putting into cooker.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="Cereals" id="Cereals"></a>Cereals</h3>
+
+<p>Prepare cereal for cooking in double
+boiler as usual. Boil over fire for 5 minutes;
+place in larger vessel of boiling
+water in cooker and allow it to remain
+4 or 5 hours or longer. If placed in
+cooker at night it should remain warm
+enough to serve for breakfast.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Steaming</h3>
+
+<p>For recipes see "Boston Brown Bread,"
+"Steamed Fig Pudding," "Poor Man's
+Pudding," "Christmas Plum Pudding,"
+etc. Prepare and mix ingredients as
+directed. Put into greased molds and
+place in shallow pan of boiling water
+over very hot radiator in cooker. Fasten
+cover tight and cook for 5 to 6 hours.</p>

+place another very hot radiator on top.
+Close cooker and fasten. Allow it to
+remain about one-half hour per pound
+of meat.</p>

+
+
+<h3>Vegetables</h3>
+
+<p>Prepare vegetables as usual. Place in
+vessel with small quantity of boiling
+water. As there is little evaporation in
+fireless cookers, allowance does not have
+to be made for loss by evaporation. Boil
+over free flame for 5 to 10 minutes.
+Transfer to cooker, using one radiator in
+bottom of well. Cook 3 or 4 hours, remove
+from cooker, season and serve.</p>

+
+<p>(Material adapted from U. S. Food Administration
+and N. Y. State Department
+of Agriculture.)</p>
+
+
+<h3>General Directions</h3>
+
+<p>Test all jars for leakage before using.
+To do this, fill with water, put on rubber
+and cover, seal and invert.</p>
+
+<p>Sterilize all utensils, jars, covers, etc.,
+by covering with cold water, and boil
+for 10 minutes. Use only new rubbers
+and dip in boiling water just before using.</p>
+
+<p>Use a wide-mouthed funnel when filling
+jars to avoid loss of material and
+keep jar rim clean.</p>
+
+<p>Invert all jars after filling and sealing.</p>
+
+<p>Fruit should be sound, firm and not
+overripe. All fruit should be carefully
+prepared.</p>
+
+<p>Clean fruit, clean hands, clean utensils,
+and a clean kitchen free from flies,
+are essential for safety and success.</p>
+
+<p>Keep products in a cool place. Avoid
+freezing in winter.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Canning</h3>
+
+<p>Canning is the operation of preparing
+sterilized food so that it will keep indefinitely.</p>
+
+<p>The custom of canning fruit in syrup
+is based on the improvement in flavor
+and texture which sugar gives to fruit.
+Sugar is not necessary for its preservation.
+Success depends upon thorough
+sterilization&mdash;that is, killing the organisms
+which cause food to spoil, and then
+sealing carefully to prevent their entrance.
+Fruit may be canned in water,
+in fruit juice and in syrup.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Preserving</h3>
+
+<p>The only difference between preserving
+and canning fruit is that sugar is
+always used in preserving, while in canning
+it is used in smaller quantity or
+not at all. In preserving the old rule
+of equal weights of sugar and fruit may
+be followed.</p><p><span class="pagenum">[Pg 47]</span></p>
+
+
+<h3>Directions for Canning by Open-Kettle Method</h3>
+
+<p>By this method which is generally
+used, for preserves, jams and marmalades,
+food is completely cooked and
+poured boiling hot into sterilized jars.</p>
+
+<p>Prepare fruit, which may or may not
+be peeled, and cut into pieces depending
+on the variety. Blanch or scald peaches
+and similar fruits to loosen skin and
+chill by plunging into cold water. Cook
+slowly in as little water as possible or
+in fruit juice or fruit syrup until done.
+Fill the sterilized jars, seal and invert.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Directions for Canning by Can-Cooked Method</h3>
+
+<p>By this method uncooked or partly
+cooked food is packed in can or jar,
+covered with liquid and both jar and
+contents sterilized.</p>
+
+<p>Pare fruit if desired or blanch or scald
+in boiling water a small quantity of the
+fruit at a time. (See time table.) Do
+not blanch cherries, sour cherries excepted,
+berries or plums.</p>
+
+<p>Chill outside of the blanched fruit by
+immersing it for a few minutes in a vessel
+of cold water. Remove skin from
+such fruits as peaches.</p>
+
+<p>Pack firmly in clean, tested jars to
+within one-half inch of top.</p>
+
+<p>Fill jars to within 1/4 inch of top with
+boiling water, fruit juice, or syrup.</p>
+
+<p>Place a new rubber on each jar, adjust
+cover and partly seal.</p>
+
+<p>Place jars on false bottom of water
+bath and sterilize for required time. (See
+time-table.) If the hot-water bath is
+used, jars should be immersed in sufficient
+boiling water to cover tops to depth
+of about 1 inch. Do not begin to time
+the sterilizing until water boils. Keep
+water boiling during sterilizing period.</p>
+
+<p>Remove jars from sterilizer. Seal them
+and invert to cool. Avoid a draft on
+jars, but cool as rapidly as possible.</p>
+
+<p>Wash and label jars. Wrap in paper
+or store in a dark place to prevent loss
+of color of red fruit.</p>
+
+<p>Vegetables may also be canned by this
+method.</p>

+<h3>Use of Sugar in Canning Fruit</h3>
+
+<p>Sugar is used in canning fruit for the
+purpose of improving flavor and is not
+necessary for preservation.</p>
+
+<p>Thin syrup&mdash;1 part sugar to 2 parts
+water for sweet fruits.</p>
+
+<p>Medium Syrup&mdash;1 part sugar to 1 part
+water for berries and medium sweet
+fruits.</p>
+
+<p>Thick Syrup&mdash;2 parts sugar to 1 part
+water for sour fruits.</p>
+
+<p>To make syrup add sugar to boiling
+water. Stir until all sugar is dissolved,
+then boil 2 or 3 minutes.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Canned <a name="Peaches" id="Peaches"></a>Peaches</h3>
+
+<p>Scald sound, firm freestone peaches,
+a small number at a time, in boiling water
+just long enough to loosen skins;
+dip them quickly into cold water and
+slip off skins. Cut peaches in halves, and
+remove stones. Have ready a syrup
+made by boiling sugar and water together
+until sugar has dissolved, using
+1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar to each cup water.
+Allow about 1 cup syrup for each quart
+jar of peaches. Put in 1 cracked peach
+pit for every quart of syrup.</p>
+
+<p>Can-cooked Method.&mdash;Pack peaches in
+overlapping layers with rounded side uppermost
+and blossom end facing glass.
+Fill each jar with hot syrup and adjust
+rubber, cover and upper clamp, thus
+partly sealing jar. Place jars on a rack
+in hot water to cover tops to a depth
+of 1 inch. Bring water to boiling point,
+and boil pint jars 16 minutes, quart
+jars 20 minutes. Remove jars, seal and
+invert to cool.</p><p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_48" id="Page_48">[Pg 48]</a></span></p>
+
+<p>Open-kettle Method.&mdash;Cook peaches in
+syrup until tender; then with sterilized
+spoon slip them carefully into sterilized
+jar; fill jar to overflowing with syrup.
+Adjust rubber, cover, seal immediately,
+and invert to cool.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Canned Cherries</h3>
+
+<p>Wash. Cherries should be pitted before
+being canned in order to conserve
+space. Can sweet cherries as berries.
+Blanch sour cherries 1/2 minute, in boiling
+water. Dip in cold water; drain and
+pack closely into hot sterilized jars.
+Cover with boiling water or boiling
+medium syrup. Loosely seal. Sterilize
+16 minutes in boiling water bath. Remove
+jars at once, tighten covers, invert
+to test seal and cool.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Canned <a name="Pears" id="Pears"></a>Pears</h3>
+
+<p>Wash and peel fruit and follow directions
+for canned peaches.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Canned Berries</h3>
+
+<p>Blackberries, blueberries, huckleberries,
+raspberries, loganberries, gooseberries
+and strawberries should be canned as
+soon as possible after picking. Hull or
+stem; place in strainer and wash by
+lifting up and down in pan of cold
+water.</p>
+
+<p>Pack into hot sterilized glass jars,
+using care not to crush fruit. To insure
+a close pack, put a 2 or 3 inch layer of
+berries on the bottom of jar and press
+down gently with spoon. Continue in
+this manner until jar is filled. Boiling
+water or boiling thin or medium syrup
+should be poured over the fruit at once.
+Loosely seal. Sterilize 16 minutes in
+boiling water. Remove jars, tighten
+covers, invert to test seal and cool.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="Asparagus48" id="Asparagus48"></a>Asparagus</h3>
+
+<p>Asparagus for canning must be fresh
+and tender. Select tips of uniform size
+and maturity and wash. Cut into lengths
+according to containers to be used.
+Scrape off scales, tough outer skins and
+hard ends and tie in bundles large enough
+for one jar.</p>
+
+<p>Immerse the lower ends in boiling
+water and leave them immersed for 5
+minutes, then the entire stalks, leaving
+them in 1 to 3 minutes longer.</p>
+
+<p>Cold dip, drain, pack neatly, tips up,
+in hot sterilized jars. Add salt and
+cover with boiling water. Loosely seal,
+sterilize two hours in boiling water bath.
+Remove as soon as time is up. Tighten
+covers, invert to test seal and cool.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="Beans" id="Beans"></a>Beans</h3>
+
+<p>Green String Beans and Wax Beans.&mdash;The
+beans should be tender and fresh,
+and graded according to size and washed.
+Leave whole or break in uniform pieces.
+Blanch 5 to 10 minutes until the pod
+will bend without breaking. Cold dip,
+drain well and pack into hot jars. Add
+salt and cover with boiling water.
+Loosely seal and sterilize two hours in
+boiling water. Remove when time is up,
+tighten covers, and invert to test seal.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Corn</h3>
+
+<p>Make careful selection of tender, juicy
+sweet corn, at best stage for table use.
+Can as soon as possible after gathering.
+Remove husks and silk; blanch
+tender ears 5 minutes, older ears 10 minutes.
+Cold dip and cut from cob but
+not too close. Pack at once into hot
+sterilized jars. As corn swells during
+sterilization, leave space of 1 inch at
+top. Add salt and cover with boiling
+water. Be sure that water penetrates
+through corn to the bottom of jar. Loosely
+seal and sterilize three hours in boiling
+water. Remove when time is up,
+tighten covers, invert to test seal and
+cool.</p>
+
+
+<h3><a name="Jams" id="Jams"></a>Jams</h3>
+

+<h2>Keep the Home Baking Safeguarded</h2>
+
+
+<p>Housekeepers who have always used
+Royal Baking Powder with utmost satisfaction
+are sometimes misled into experimenting
+with baking powders containing
+questionable ingredients.</p>
+
+<p>No real economy is thus accomplished&mdash;in
+fact, the use of an unwholesome,
+undependable baking powder often produces
+a bitter taste in the food which
+makes it unappetizing and sometimes inedible,
+to say nothing of the injurious
+effect produced upon the digestive
+system.</p>
+
+<p>Royal Baking Powder is most economical.
+Its well-known dependability
+makes baking success simpler and surer,
+thus preventing loss of eggs, flour, butter
+and other ingredients. Only the best materials
+are used in its production&mdash;pure
+cream of tartar and tartaric acid, derived
+from grapes, bicarbonate of soda and
+corn starch, all scientifically blended and
+perfectly balanced. The best is always
+the most economical.</p>
+
+<p><i><b>To insure food that is always

+
+<p>One of the distinctive qualities of

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit http://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.
+To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     http://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
