CURE FOR LA GRIPPE: Dear Social ‘Cornerites: This is a fependable medical prescription for he grip and may he of advantage in Le absence of medical aid: Symptoms of .the. grippe: Chills up nd down the spine, headache, bones ache, and a mean and despondent sort & feellng generally: One-half ounce “ipeture geisemium, one-half ounce tluid extract boneset. Put one-third lcaspoon of each in one-half pint of water, and take one teaspoen every Lour until fully relleved, As a general thing. in & to 8 hours be cured. It is best to take a rest for three days or more, to avoid relapse, which will require three !mes as much medication to over- ome. For cough which is apt to follow a grippe, fill a four-ounce bottle one- third full of syrup of tolu and add five drops tincture of capsicum, then fill tottle with water, shake and take from one-half to one teaspoon every hour, or two, or less often, l; required. 'HE CRANK. WHAT SHE RAISED. Dear Social Corner Sisters:” As summer 1§ about gone and young and nld are gathering in the fruits of their gardens, I will just write about some of my harvests: I- have ¢ne bushel-of onions, two of peas in the pod, one of tomatoes, six quarts of pole beans, half a bushel of bush beans, sixteen fine melons, four- teen small Hubbard squashes, and sight small ones; one bushel of beets, $- a bushel of carrots, eight ears { miweet corn. but it is not quite-time to put the “logain winter storage for -1 have some wax beans hudded, so ] may need the noayryou_see.

Dear, Sisters of The Socia! Corner: To the stream of humanity which fre- quents Firth avenue, was| added on Sunday afternoon last the immense throng who came to surrcund the bier of the late Cardinal Farley. - Long before the hour of dpening the Cathedral, the lines extended many blocks along Fifth avenue, walking four abreast, taking a few steps for- ward at a time, each ling siowly mal ing its way into the purple-draped en- trance of the great Cathedral. The writer observed that in these lines were represented every creed and nationality, patiently waiting for hours to obtain a glimpse of the dead face of the great prelate of/the Ro- man Catholic chureh. The interior of the Cathedral was draped in purple and black, and as the lines entered and filed up the main aisle the affect of the dim lights on thg distant altar, twinkling through the sombr2 decorations of purple and black, deepened the solemnity of the occasion. The hody of the cardinal lying on the sloping catafalque at the foot of the altar was in full view of the pass- ing throng. = He lay with hands fold- ed, clad in all the royal vesitments of the church which he represented. The high altar was bare of orna- ments. A few candles were burning. At the feot and around the catafalque were gathered the insignias of .his rank. The silence was unbroken save for he shed to save[the footfalls of the hurrying multi- tude and the voices of the guards urg- ing them on. Bul as the people pass- €d on, the hasty glance which was taken of that sled face, lifted high above the multitude, was that of a piece of marble. The face was that of a sculptured image. No trace of ea: thly shadows marred thuse quiet riter would ‘fain have linger- 1o have looked longer and into that singularly beautiful ed un deéper face which perpetuated even in death the ideals of life; but the guards al- lowed no loitering. But as I passed out of the side entrance, 1 looked longinzly backward to obtain one more glimpse ofthe reposefil saintly face of the sleeping Cardinal Farley. THE LITTLE SPINSTER. CORNSTARCH AS A SUBSTITUTE. Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: This is how I use Cornstarch as a Substitute--I thick- en my gravies with it, use it in cake, shortcake, gingerbread, biscuit and bread, and like it much better than barley flour. In making sherbet that calls for the white of an ega, I use cornstarch. To each cup of sugar allow one ievel ta- blespoon of cornstarch; pour over it a quart of boiling water ‘and boil five minutes; all fruit, then freeze. 1 use one tabiespoon of cornstarch for every egg omitted. Fruit Soup—Two teaspoons corn- starch, two tablespoons cold water: stir until there is no lumps; then add to four cups of heated. fruit juice, and you can sweetén with one cup of su- gar or one cup of syrup; chill. These are very mnice soups, especially gosd made from cherries, grapes, oranges, ete. An Appetizing Dish—Two cups of hot mashed potato, two teaspoons of cod fat, one tablespoon milk, one tea- spoon salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper, a little grated cheese, yolk of one egg, beat white separateiy, Method: Mix all pit white of egg in order given, beat thoroughly, place in baking dish and rub the top over with the white of egg. or fold the stiffly beaten white; cook until brown, ETHELYN. TIMELY RECIPES. Dear Social Cornerites: T think these timely recipes may please some of you: Carrot Salad—Three large carrots and two apples, two cold cooked pota- toes; put carrots through chopper, then alternafe with apples (sliced) and cold potato. Ornament with mayon- naise dressing. Two Sugariess Dainties—Take the parings of apples which have been carefully washed before peeling and to each pound of skin add three-fourths cup of maple syrup; these cook until thick, then pour the mixture on a large piate or platter, spreading it out thin; leave this in the sun four days. You can protect it from dust by covering with cheesecloth ‘or glasst on the fourth day cut in strips, or cut' out with cookie cutter, and place several pieces on top of each other; or cut in strips one and a Quarter inches in width and roll tightly; wrap in wax paper, and put away in a box.. Thi® is a good substitute for candy. Peaches tonfatoes and cherries can be done the me way. Milk pudding—Ome can evaporated milk, two ounces of chocolate, one and one-quarter cups syrup, one-third cup cornstarch, two eggs, one-half téf- spfi;“ vanilla; add water to evaporated milk. V. . TESTED RECIPES. Editor of The Social Corner: Here- with I send a few tested recipes. How to can rhubarb: Canned Rhubarb: The easiest way to can rhubarb is te cut it in inch lengths.

SOUR MILK CAKE, Dear Social Corner Sisters: a nice economical cake: Sour Milk Cake—One cup sugar, three-fourths butter (I use half crisco), three«fourths cup sour milk, two eggs, two tablespoons cocoa, one teaspoon of cinnamon, one-haif clove, pinch of salt if you use clear crisco, one-half cup | raisins.

Write some more of the same kind. 1 like all letters about babies. Mountain® Laurel: You have some good domestic helps. Easter Lily: Have tried your war cake; it is fine. Mandy: Glad to hear from you once more. Barah Ann Tighe: I would like to salute the soldier with you. KATYDID. ECONOMICAL HINTS. Dear Social ‘Corner Sisters: As this is a time when some have to economize —and all should—to help win this ter- rible war, I have in mind a few things which T have tried ang which may be a benefit to some others, now cold weather is approaching: When sheets become thin in 1ine middle, take the corners and make pillow slips of them, using the hem of the sheet fogmthe slip so it is not much work to make them, and I think you will be surprised at the service you can get out of them. Then take the thin parts of the sheets, make several thicknesses, cover with cheesecloth, tie them and use for pads on the bed, crib or cradle. Now cotton is sc expensive, try making coverlids out of old sheets, blankets and spreads by placing them evenly together, covering with some pretty material and tying. Bave all your new colored pieces, both cotton and woolén, even, the small ones. Take some old material either white or colored, make it into squares any size you like, and on to these stitch your new pieces on the machine, making the seams the same as in the log cabin quilts, but placing the pieces in a crazy design. Make a hlock as you get the pieces and it will 10t be long before you will have :nough for two comfortables. I wish the Sister who wroté about bleaching grain bags would tell me how she does it, for I have several of them, but have never been able to remove the printing on them. TWICE TWENTY. QUICK LOAF CAKE. Dear Social Corner Sisters: I am sending in the cake recipe someone asked for at Deliah Deal's. I call it Quick Loaf Cake: One cup sugar, and one-half cup butter, beaten to a cream; one' cup milk, two and one- half cups of flour, two téaspoons bak- ing powder, one cup of raisins, nut- meg, one-half teaspoon; beat thor- oughly and add the white of one egz beaten to a stiff froth—stir ir lightly Tor the icing use the yolks of two eggs thickened with confectionary su- far, add a few drops of lemon extraet, and spread on the cake while it is very warm. Here also is a very good War Cake: One cup sugar, one cup thick sour milk, one tablespoon short- ening, one-half teaspoon of cinnamon, three-fourths teaspoon vanilla, one and one-half cups of flour, (one-half barley), one level teaspoon soda, two tablespoons coc¢oda, a pinch of salt, With a soft white frosting this is de- licious.

The codfish, from a scientific stand- point, will be exhaustively studied by a Norwegian government commission. An electric brake has been invented by a Califernian to automatically stop a phonozraph at the end of a record. An English scientist claims to have discovered a gas that has the same relation to hydrogen that ozone has to oxygen. For the use of physicians and dent- ists a tongue depressing instrument has been invented that switches on an eléctric light to illuminate a patient’s mouth when it is used. American tobacco preparing and cigarette making machinery have been introuced into Algieres, which manu- immense.— al recipes may be found of use to some reader: How to Cook Whale Steak—TFirst soak the whale meat in soda water (one teaspoon baking soda to a pint of warm water) for five minutes, then dry and cook as any beefstead.. The soda destroys that fishy taste and also makes steak tender. My family didn't know it from beefsteak until 1 told them. To Be Rid of Ants and Other Insects —To a half cup of sugar add a haif cup of powdered borax-and a teaspoon of red pepper. Mix all thorqughly, fill a blower and go all over the places where the pests are seen and into the cracks, puffing the powder over the kitchen anc pantry doors. Iassure you it worked like magic. Corn Chowder—Cut enough corn from the cob to make a quart. Pare and slice one quart of potatoes and two onfons. Cut hall a pound of pork in slies and fry good and brown. Take up pork and fry omions in the fat. Put potatoes and corn .into kettie, in lay- ers, sprinkling each lgyer with salt, peper and a little flour. Use altogether one-half teaspoon of pepper, one and one-half teaspoons of salt and three| tablespoons of flour. Place - gravy strainer on vegetables and turn onions and pork fat imto it, and with a spoon press the juice’throvgh. Then slowly pour one and one-fourth quarts of boiling water through the strainer, rubbing as much onion through as possible. Remove strainer, cover ket- tle and boil gently for 20 minutes. Mix three tablespoons of flour with a lit- tle milk. Stir this into the boiling chowder. Taste:to see if seasoned enough. If not, add pepper and salt to suit you. Add six crackers, and dipped for & minute in cold water., Replace cover, ®0il up once and serve. REBECCA. | - TASTY TOMATO CATSUP.
