If you hear a song that thrills you, Sung by any child of song, Praise it. Do not let the singer Walt deserved praises long. ‘Why should one that thrills your heart Lack the joy you may tmpart? If you hear a prayer that moves you By its humble, pleading tone, :Ig #t. Do not let the seeker W before his God alone. Why should not your brother share The strength of “two or three” prayer?

Dear Social Corner Sisters: a long time since I have cackled in The Corner; but Biddy’s always have a moulting” time, and then they get vely. This is a beautiful morning. The sun has come up as clear as can be, not a cloud to mar the hacutiful sky. low I would like to take a long waik morning, but I can’t. I am a very. busy women. I am getting my spring sewing done so as to get my house- cleaning done; but my Sisters, I hope you will not have to go through as much es I do. I am so tired from such hard work that I have just decided I must dve. So you can all come to sny funeral, it will be at about ten o'clock Friday morning and the mes- saline waist will turn into 2 beautiful shade of blue silk. I decided to give it this change of wolor. Don't bring or send any flowers, please. 1f any of the Sisters would like to dye over some of their dresses and don’t know how to do it just write me and I will send you the directions. Because you cannot always have good fuck unless you know what color to use. For instance, if you have a light red dress and want to color it purple have to use a light blue dye; again, to color green over blue yellow dwe and so on, the table of colors 1t is $2.50 to first; $1.50 to second; $1.00 to third. Award made the last Saturday in each month. | ammonia added to the water will give It is so very pale|" OTHER’S FAULTS mantic has an Old Home Week in June, beginning, I believe, on_the 21st. Are ‘the Sisters willing to_have the picnic the'12th of June. We can't have it the same week of Old Home Week. Polly Peppermint has to drill chil- dreg for the occasfon. Talk it up ang let me know. I want two weeks ak the least. Will try and get the same place we had last vear, if_possible. . 1 must close. BIDDY. A WORD FROM BALSAM FIR. Dear Social Corner Friends: It is some time since I wrote you last, but I have been ever so busy. You know, spring brings a great deal of work and, beside, I have been entertaining as well as going, taking trolley rides through the country. We are having an unusually early spring and I was giad to read so many new names on the anniversary page, and so many old ones, too. I must tell you what I met with not long since—not a compliment; oh, no! I always wear a yellow bow on my coat in plain view of eferybody, and so this time I speak of ! had a large bunch of violets on my coat, too. Of course, I never thought about the color. Any- way, a gentleman wanted to know if I was a suffragette. I was furious. He said_those people went to Augusta on St. Patrick’s day and wore yellow bows. But they did not get what they asked for, anyway. I am no friend to those people; no, indeed. And before anyone else should asic that question I immediately put my yellow bow out of the way; but no further than on lapel of my coat. I believe a woman'’s place is in the home and not out gadding after positions a mar. should have. I am sorry to learn so many of The Corner writers are shut-ins. I have been, the past winter, but am glad to say I am enjoying good health now. Was glad to learn Aunt Abby had Social Corner Club No. ‘2. Let the gcod work go on. Think it would be nice to give Frank of Moosup a shower. Maine Lover: Did you get my post- card? The letter I wrote you came back; said no one_there by the name. Rural Delivery: Your letter was fine, Thanks for card. Crimson Rambler: soon. Frozen: I am so glad you had your eyes seen to in time. Trust you are fecling better and will continue to gain, as well as the other unfortunate ones in the Social Corner, for it cer- tainly is one. BALSAM FIR. RECIPE FROM BALSAM BUD. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters: Here I am back again, but ex- cuse me for coming back so soon. 1 have been off on a vieit and have just got back. but I cannot stop writing. How did the Sisters like my recipe? Here Is another I want all of them to try: Chocolate Cookies—One cup butter, one cup sugar, one egg well beaten, one teaspoon salt, two ounces chocolate melted, two scant cups flour, two level tenspoons baking powder, ~one cup milk. Interested Reader: T thank you very much for that calendar. It was very nice. Maple Leaf: Have you got th: LR You got that house Snowball: Have you found the dia- mond you lost out of that nice ring? 1 was very sorry. Crimeon Rambier: call and see me? Perhaps you don't know me? 1If so, tell me. I have got some of them thinking. Best wishes. Will write you Why don’t you __BALSAM BUD. USES FOR COMMON THINGS, Dear_Editor and Social Corner Mem- bers: I am very much interested in The Corner, and this week thought I would add my mite, am going to tell of a few wa; In which some of the common things we all have in our homes may be used: Ammonia—A teaspoonful of ammo- nia added to boiling hot soapsuds will make glass, cut glass, lamp chimneys, mirrors and window glass as bright and shining as it is possible to make em. A tablespoonful of ammonia added to the tub in which clothes are nut to soak will greatly help in removing the Equal parts of ammonia and tunpen- tine will remove spots of paint from clothing; saturate thoroughly and then rub in soapsuds and. rinse well. ‘When shampooing the hair a little fine result Turpentine I find is very useful when ‘blacking the store: mix the blacking with turpentine and see what a love- ly polish it will give. Be careful that the stove is not hot. A teaspoonful of turpentine added to the boiler of clothes will make them gs white as snow, and no odor from When about to-wash the oflcloth or linoleum next time, put a teaspoonful of turpentine in the pail of water and see the results; it will not only clean casier, but will brighten up the colors. Turpentine stripes are splendid for anyone in_great pain, such as colic, neuralgia, headache, toothache, etc. To use them wring a flannel out of boil- ing water and pour on a few drops of turpentine and apply; change as often as they get cool, A liniment made of equal parts of turpentine, ammonia and either sweet mon baking soda. I always add = inch to all meats which I stew or oll, as it sweetens and makes them more_tender, A pinch of soda added to all acid fruits when stewing sweetens them s0 that they need far less sugar._ This is especially so with apple sauce and cranberries; add the soda just before taking from the stove. It the teapot and coffee pot are boiled out once a week or so with a solution of soda it will keep them sweet and clean. Soda dampened and put on a burn gives quickest relief; it should be put on_quite thick and carefully bandaged. Soda and rhubarb mixture is the very best medicine for children. I keep it on hand all the time and it is the only medicine my boys have taken in over two years. It can be obtained at any drug store and ten cents worth will last quite a_while; or, it can be made at home. I will gladly give the recipe to anyone who would care for i ‘With best wishes to Editor and Cor- ner members for a happy and pros- perous year during 1915. A STAFFORD DAISY. GREETINGS FROM KOCHIA. Soctal Corner Sisters: Don't think T have left you and forgotten to write, but so many times I have said I would take time and let you all hear from me again. I will say in regret, that I had to miss the gathering at Willi- mantic, where I had planned to at- tend. T am glad everyone had such a fine time. I do enjoy reading Rural Delivery's letters so much, and tried to make him out so many times; but I guess I am still in the dark. Poor Whippoorwill of Canterbury: T guess, like me. you are head over heels in work. I find there is no end to it; but Saturdays I do take time and read all the good letters if the pot on the stove does stick. - Etta Barber's letters are always of interest to me. Perhaps she is like me, a little old fashioned, and tries to make the most she can out of a little, and always willing to lend a helping hand to everyone who is in need of it. Josiah's Wife: T suppose you are busy these days turning the geese Waiting for the old goose to e up her mind to set. I can remember years ago when Etta Barber was home on the dear old farm how she used to turn the eggs. Whippoorwill and she were near neigh- bors and always had a large flock of them, Wishing you all a joyful spring. KOCHIA. DO NOT FORGET WILDWOOD'S BIRTHDAY. To Social Corner Friends: It has been a long time since I have writ- ten to vou, although I have kept in touch with you by reading The Cor- ner. I have often thought I would write, but some way have missed it. I have tried several recipes for cooking and found them fine; also tried the two remedies for rheumatism and while neither have cured, I think both the liniments very good to relieve pain; and the other for the blood. My case is of long standins. We are having lovely weather here now, and the spring is very forward, the fruit trees are a mass of beauty at present—pears. apples and plums and cherrfes, Some of my rose bushes are filled with buds, and by my birthday, the 23d of April, will have lots of roses in_full bloom. I took quite a bouquet of roses to daughter last year on my birth but zuess I shall not spend it with her this year, I shall be 76, and would be pleased to have some of your Circle remem- ber me on that day, as they did Hettie Marie, By ‘the way, what has become of her. I have written her two letters and have had no answers. I have been having quite a severe sick spell (grip and other troubles), ‘but I am galning strength Slowly. Perhaps when warm weather comes I may be better. My eves trouble me badly and the sight of one eye is near- ly gone. It is pretty hard for me, as I enjoy reading, and I can’t read much at a time. Potlatch was out last week and took dinner with me. I expect she will be pretty busy with her flowers from now on. My granddaughter and her little son made me a visit not long ago, and he is still the same cute little fellow. He likes to come out here in the summer. With best wishes to you all, I am WILDWOOD. o RECIPE FOR CAKE OR GINGER- BREAD. Dear Editor and Social _Corner Friends: Here is a fine recipe that you can use as either cake or ginger- bread: Put one third cup of short- ening in your mixing bowl, add three fourths of a cup of boiling water. When the shorieéning is meited, add one cup of molasses in which one and one fourth teaspoons of soda has been dissolved, one well -beaten egg, two cups of ‘entire wheat flour, and one teaspoon - each of cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Beat well and bake in a shallow pan for twenty-five minutes. When cool frost with a simple frost- ing colored pink with a teaspoon of red sugar. For gingerbread do not use cinna- mon and cloves, but use all ginger for your spice. This is also fine served hot with whipped cream. M. Roena: I'm glad that you got the prize. You certainly have all the right in the world to love your bun- salow and to be proud of it. It must give you a lovely feeling to know that you possess such a cozy little home. Janette: I wish I knew you person- ally. I have a feeling that we whould be fine friends. Next June I will have to change my name. “Sweet Sixteen” is only a one-year name. Schoolgirl: Please tell just a_lit- tle bit about yourself. Are you a High School girl I want to try to guess Who you are. I have made Floating Island twice from your recipe and both times came out fine, Absent Ome: I have learned by heart “The House By the Side of the Road” It is a beautiful poem. Poinsettia: I did not know rhubsarb could be served so many ways. Your recipes are very welcome. Faraway Dame: I think as you do gbout basting. I can make my own dresses. (I have a summer one half done now), and I did not baste hardly en) And my seams usually come out all right though sometimes T get into hot water. Pollyanna: _Please do write again and send your list of games. Best wishes to all. SWEET SIXTEEN. MIRRORED FROM STILL-WATER. Dear Sisters of the Social Corne: How many of ‘the Brothers of The Corner ever stopped to think what a big part in life the leter F plays. If starts with the farm and the farmer; he must fertilize the f-urrows, send ofl or skunk's ofl, is good for lameness, soreness of the joints, etc, Kerosene also is useful ways. Kerosene 1s good applied on the out- side for sore throat and cold on the lungs, but be sure and do not cover as it ‘will blister. A cloth dampened with kerosene makes the finest duster. for it not only, keeps the dust from flying about the room, but will give a good pelish to the furniture. I find there are many uses for com- in many his best f-ruits to the f-airs, and plant for the f-ture.

Alcohol _re- OVERHEARD AT THE POSTOFFICE 'Twas pretty cold and blustery that Saturday afternoon besides snowing hard into the bargain, so it wasn't sur- prising that not so man: usual had collected about the big “airtight” in the store. But after supper they be- gan to drift in until pretty near the usual number was on hand. Being so cold, though, the women folks had all stayed at home, so there wasn't any trading, and only the malil for me to tend to. That being the case, T heard more than usual of the talk going on in the circle about the store. “Fill that air stove up agin, Jim said Nat. “It's an almighty cold eve- ning, naow. Beats all how much corn it takes this cold weather to fill up them air pigs er mine. If pork warn't so durned low I 'low I'd sell the last blamed hawg.” “Beats all how late that Rural De- livery man is tonight,” remarked Ke- ziah Doolittle. “Must be the roads are pretty bad out on his route.” “Oh, that's all on account of its be- ing Saturday,” cynically remarked A Crank. “All the women folks are sure to be out waiting for the paper, and of course he has to stop and chat’ with them all.” “Pll bet there wasn't many out to- day, anyway,” laughed Dan. ‘“Prob- ably most of them have been shiver- ing over the stove all day, worrying over the prospect of having to leave their mew Easter bonnets in their bandboxes ~tomorrow. Easter hats wont’ look extra well blossoming cut of a snow drift.” “Guess you've been listening to Btta Barber, haven't you?” asked the Crank. That sounds a good deal like her phil- osophy. “And by that same token it wouldn’t hurt some others to listen also, and profit by what they hear well said,” Dan retorted. Just then the door was thrown open with a bang, letting in a gust of wind and a flurry of snow: and with it in blew big, jolly Rural Delivery, him- self and his-mailbags well powdered with snow. “Well, well.” beats all the heard tell of. he shouted. _“This April showers I ever I alan’t hear any Bee buzzing -today, guess she must be Frozen by this unseasonable storm. Well boys and how's all the Brothers tonight? The Sisters seem to be most prominent by their entire absence.” “Didn’t you see any Sisters today, R. D.?” Inquired Nat, anxiously. ¥ admitted Rural De- livery. “There was Munner hurrying to help out A Young Mother in her Inexperience. Guess Annette has changed her mind about early house- cleaning. Saw her hustling to get in the rugs and things she put out early this morning before the storm began. Ma was out digging her early chicks out of a snowbank tonight, and Biddy and last vear's Spring Chicken were on their perch pretty well humped up by the cold. Yes, there were some others out waiting for the mail, but I tell you brothers, there's altogether too ¢ of the sisters we don't see anything of nowadays.” “That's true,” said Nat. “Hadn't we better follow Etta Barbers advice and set a Social Corner Detective after ‘em?" “And_who asked Jim. “Well,” said Nat, “I move we appoint Aunty No. 1. Not long ago some- body told me that if You want to know who is who just apply to Aunt: Her intuitions are wonderful. As feminine edition of Sherlock Holmes she can’t be beat.” “She’s all right,” said Dan, “but I sorter incline to Crimson Rambler. She's a hustler from way back. Think if anybody could get 'em startéd she's the one. “Indeed,” said the Crank, “you've each made a good choice, but as there is only one sister who is always Ready. I move that we engage her, with Fairy Godmother, and the other two as her assistants. “Done, done,” they all shouted. and Nat added, “R, D. You carry a copy of the minutes of this meeting to ail the Interested Readers next Monday morning.” “Sure thing,” responded R. D., “and I also move that we each help when- ever we can. I met the Doctor's Daughter on_Centennial Square this afternoon and told her we didn't see her_half often enough. “Why,” exclaimed Dan, “that wasn't the Doctor's Daughter, it was—well, never mind, if you dom't know. But why don’t they all come. out as the first Sweet Sixteen did, so there won't be so much confusion.” “Oh, that's the fun of it, and we must expect it,” sald Rural Delivery. “We are most of us sort of Jekyli- Hyde combinations anyway. Only we don't stop there, but hide ourselve: under .a_half dozen or more Incognit and some of us change our names often as we do our clothes.” “By the way,” sald Nat, “Did you hear what happened to Papa’s Boy on April 1st, “Is it a joke?” inquired R. D. hurry up and tell it, has a joke to tell he wants to tell it as _quick as possible. It's a great re- lief to get it out of his system. Yeu're great on jokes, yourself, R. sald Nat. “Is that the reason you know so much about it?” “Well, about Papa’s Boy. He went into a city store to buy a jew’s harp the other day. When the clerk brought it along she also brought a post card with a_picture of a pig on it. ‘Here,’ she said, showing him the card. ‘Do they keep any of those things where you live? “Yes, he answered, ‘sometimes they do, and sometimes they keep ‘em in the city, behind the counter.’” “Folks can't get much ahead of the Socialville kids, can they?” said Rural Delivery, as he pulled on his gloves preparatory to again facing the storm. “Well, I move we all go home and to bed. Saturday Eve is the best part of the week, you'll all agree, but it is almost gone, and ‘twill soon be Easter morn- ing. Goodbye 'till another Saturday Eve. is to be our detective?”’ as *TeaE When a man who drinks it, but from the wife and family as well. It also removes the household furniture many times; al- so0. the eatables from the table and the smiles from the face of the wife, and the happihess out of the home.

I know _you personally and vou know me too; hope the next time you send® a letter to The Corner you will give me an idea, if_you have found me out.. Paula: Where are you? Have you moveG? T saw you one day on Bos- well avenue not leng ago; or, at least the party with me said it was you. You wore a long black coat and black velvet hat. I heard you lived at one time in Central Village, am I right? Come and see me some time and we will go to the moving pictures. STILLWATER. GREETINGS FROM CRIMSON RAMBLER. Dear Social Corner Sisters: Here I come for a little chat once more. Keziah Doolittle: Many thanks for pretty Easter card; am sending you ore in return. Dom Pedro: Many thanks for your box containing the two cute little gifts, I prize them very highly, coming from you. Joan: Your letter at hand. Must say I could not help but laugh at the funny side of it. Do you understand the part I mean? Will write you soon. Morning Glory: Your Easter card at bend: will write you soon and answer your questions. Am at present very busy, with lots to do. Betsey Bobbett: Your card also at hand; am sending you one in return. Paula: Your two cards are before me. How very thoughtful of you to send another before I have returned you any. Aunt Abby: Your letter at hand. How is_our little “mascot?” Well, 1 hope. I hear you have become an expert whist player; am awfully glad to near it. Calla Lily: Your Easter card at hand. Thanks for the same. Expect to see you the 14th if nothing happens. Plain Nancy and Merry Widow: Am anxiously awaiting that letter with that bit of information; am getting very uneasy. Balsam Fir: Where art thou? Not sleeping, I hope. Please come off that high perch of yours and get busy. Dont let that chicken ranch usurp too much of your time. Remember, you have Sisters in the Soeilal Corner awaiting a line from you. CRIMSON RAMBLER. ECONOMICAL_ USES OF MEATS, _ETC. Dear Editor and Soclal Cornerites: I read the letters sent in each week and have found many helpful sugges- tions: May I give a few wavs of us- ing “left-overs.” I find they make tasty and attractive dishes and hel; ont quite_a litle with the present high prices. Beef Balls: Mince fine, beef, an onion and a little parsley, add a few bread crumbs, seadon with salt _and pepper, add beaten egg. Form into balls, flour and fry in deep fat. Take slices of cold roast beef: broil over hot coals, season with salt and pepper and serve with a lump of but- ter on each piece. Chop or grind cold lamb, chicken or beef, boil macaroni in the long lengths with a little salt in the water, butter an oval dish, line the bottom and sides with the macoroni in the center. Put the meat seasoned with salt, pepper and onion, if you like. Bake twenty minutes or a half hour. Make Tomato Sauce by boiling until soft. Put in a little soda to take out the ‘acid; strain and season with salt, Depper and a little sugar. Thicken with_a little flour-and butter rubbed| together; when ready to serve turn dish bottom up on a platter and pour| the sauce over. It is nice sliced cold, moves’ the stains from summer cloth- ing. It will remove the clothes and the summer; also the spring, autmn and winter clothes, not only from one also, Cold Potatoes with Cheese: Cut six cold potatoes into dice. Make a sauce by melting two tablespoons of irutter. Add two tablespoons of flour and pour on slowly two cups of milk. Season with salt. and pepper, and add four heaped tablespoons of grated cheese. Put a layer of potatoes and then a layer of the sauce until the dish is full. Cover with buttered crumbs and bake a golden brown. Potato Puff: Two cups of mashed potatoes, stiv in six teaspoons of melt- ed butter, beating all to a cream. Add two eggs beaten stiff and a teacup of cream or milk and a little salt. Beat all together and bake in a quick oven until brown. Potato Croquettes: To mashed po- tatoes add pepper and salt and esgs enough to make a Stff paste; form into balls- roll in egg and crumbs and fry in a basket in deep fat. Stale bread can ‘be used in many ways. Different kinds of toast, browned in_ the oven, as croutons for soup; bread pudding (both plain and with' chocolate), and as crumbs for many uses. Loft over fish can be used by hredding the cold fish and creaming th milk; add butter rubbed with a little flour; season with salt and pep- per. Scalloped fish is nice by using a layer of cold potatoes seasoned, and then a laver of fish until the dish is full; pour in cream or milk and bake. PRACTICAL POLLY. GREETINGS FROM READY. Dear Editor and Soctal Corner Sis- ters: With the sun shining so brightly and the birds singing so sweetly, and not enough breeze to stir a branch on the tree and the work all done up, is enough to stir up the Social Corner spirit’ to indulge in a Social Corner chat. These lovely days make one feel Just like housecleaning; but I think there is such a thing as cleaning house too soon. There is plenty of time now before the real hot weather sets in. Annette: Thanks to the woodbox for kindly greetings and thoughts. May the woodbox never die out. I trust some of the Sisters will gather around your woodbox and have a real Social Corner time. Morning Glory: Yes, I am again in the Nutmeg State. The man of the house keeps the woodbox so full all the time I think one would have to get a ladder to sit on it. Not like the orig- inal one. Pollyanne: Write again. You might have just the right message for us. Sometimes the demands are greater than T can meet. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Silver Sixpence: Thanks. T always read yoyr letters with pleasure. Lucy “Acorn: I should be delighted to come and sit on your woodbox, but I do not know Who is Who? Thank you. Trottie: I trust you got the card all right. I believe you were the first to greet me as I entered the hall March 13. Peggy Anne: When I returned home Sweet William told me her little_girl had a great deal to say about Wee Peggy Ann. I thought she was very cute. Frozen: I trust you are improving. Frank: I think of you often. All cards will be answered soon. I have quite a few to answer. Calla Lily: T know to whom you re- fer, I think he is a splendid man. Off and on, I have made quite a hit with cards. Must close now, by wishing all Good Morning! SISTER READY. LIVING IN THIS LIFE RIGHT FOR THE NEXT. . Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis- ters:—April is here again with her smilés and tears. We are all glad to see her, for she brings us a promise of the “good old summer time.” I suppose the Sisters are busy cleaning house. The poor tired Editor has no time to clean her (his) house| with such a large family to look af- ter. Do you know that a little baking soda on a cloth will take any stain off the most delicate paint. A pinch of flour in the grease when frying ezgs, prevents any spattering and saves getting burned. How many ever tried putting down dandelions for winter use Take an earthern jar and put in first a layer of salt, then a layer of dandelions, and repeat until jar is full, having salt on top. In winter take up what you want, soak over night, and put on with a piece of pork, and you will think it is spring. Ancther way is to cook in water for one hour without meat- then pack in glass jars and put in boiler and cook for ‘another hour with tops all on. I can string beans this way and peas and green shell beans, and we have plenty of garden sauce for the winter, without buying. How many of the Sisters belong to ! the Christian Endeavor Soclety? T doj and think it a most helpful society. The topic for last Sunday, was * ting Ready for the Next Lif ithink_Jf we do_the very best we can in this life, always careful to give every man his due, and the benefit of the doubt, when there is a doubt, al-| ways striving to keep, the two great! cormandments, we need not worry about the next life. The question is, do_we? It is easy by a careless slip of the tongue to wound our friends. It' is so easy to misjudge the motives of others, and to repeat things that are ftold and so stir up strife, instead of pouring oil on the troubled waters. Let us try harder to keep the Golden Rule. That is_the color of our rib- bon, is it not? Golden, or yellow And to do unto others not only as we would have them do unto us. but do all the good we can regardiess of their attitude toward us. It is my purpose to so fall far short. Nell of Wauregan: Please tell us how you manage for breakfast and supper. Good will to all POLLYA? OLD SONGS AND OLD MAIDS. Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis. ters:—Do any of you, I wonder, ever cut songs that you wish to save from papers or old lesson quarterlles? I had qnite a number of them, and find- ing they were getting torn and worn from much handling this is what B did: 1 cut pastebard into convenient sized sheets and on them pasted the songs, one, or sometimes two or three on both sides of each sheet. Put them under a weight until dry so they wouldn't curl. Wken there are several in a fam- ily who like to spend an evening in singing, it is nice to have a number of copies of the old favorite songs mounted in this way, especially if you are short of hymn books. To the Sister who advised us not to waste anything: What do you think of this for saving? The last time we had popcorn it did not pop well, and there was over a pint of “old maids.” Corn at five cents a pound is expensive chicken feed, so I concluded to experiment a little. ‘I took this un- popped corn, run it through the meat grinder (fine cutter) cooked it over night in the double boiler, and had it for the Treakfast cereal next morn- ing. It tasted like a cross between corn.flakes and grape nuts and really was quite_eatable. One member of the family even said was better. than oatmeal. M.

Eggs on Toast—Toast and butter a slice of bread for each person to be served. Take as many eggs as slices of toast, and one at a_time, seperate white from the yolk, beat stiff and spread over toast, and drop yolk in the center. When all are prepared put in oven long enough to set the eggs. Whites should be slightly browned, serve on hot platter. Poached Eggs—Break egg carefully and drop one at a time in boiling salted water, with a little vinegar added to water to help keep shape of the egs. If a poacher is lacking, stir the water swiftly in one direction, drop egeg in the eddy and stir water until cooked; serve on toast. Excellent Omelet—Three eggs. yolks and whites beaten seperately; small cup of milk; good teaspoon flour; big pinch of baking powder; salt. Beat yolk, add ~baking powder, salt and flour; beat till mixed; then add part of whites. Have spider with melted butter very hot; pour in mixture and dot with spoonfuls of the remainder of whites of egg: when partly cook- ed set in oven five minutes fold and serve at once.

OUT OF THE SOUR-MILK JAR. Dear Editor ard Social Corner. Friends;—It will not be long before the milk and cream will begin to sour unexpectedly. To the housewife of many year's experience a bottle of sour cream is a real blessing, so many £00d things can be made with it ail the way from butter itself to butter- less cake, doughnuts, coffee-cakes, griddle-cakes, and even cottage cheese. The cook of not so many years standing looks upon her sour-milk as a much-to-be deplored waste. with which nothing can be done; but guide it safely down the sink hole.

Be sure your pans are sizzling ‘hot and your mixture cold, for therein lies the secret of light bread. This bread is delicious made of rve flour. You do not get that sour, yeasty taste all bakers’ bread has and which is the principal cause of fermen- 1etion and stomach troubles. 1t can also be made of white flour and cornmeal, using one-half white four with cornmeal. White flour must e mixed a little stiffer than coarser flours, and a pinch of salt can be add- ©G_if you wish. The food expert stated that barley. four was more easily digested and es- pecially good for invalids or convales- cents. The chief point is to have your pans sizzling hot, not necessarily cast iron, T find, for they round up even more tender and light in my aluminum gem an; but I like cast iron pans because tue gems come out almost perfectly .lcan,.and washing labor is reduced to the minimum.
