CARING FOR Dear Corner Friends: your letter, Persis, I think your time spent_with your more _satisfac- tory than any other way. When I see mothers with babies, wanting to go here, and there and leave the little others, I aiways think if I had my life live over I mever would do that ‘again. - 1 /1 was looking at a.picture of a. little baby in a magagine, and “Atter except mothers liked babies. The rec- ords of civllization show progress Writ- ten in babjes’ blood. ' Babies had no_ rights. They were a necessary evil. In the South Sea Isi- ands, when either parent died, the chil- dren were slain and buried aiso, to Wwait on_the parents in the other world. In China it is estimatea That 40 per cent. of the giri bables in the provinces of the interior were drowned. In India When a girl baby was born, the mother put opium on her breasts, and the baby, inhaling it with the mother's mifk, dled.. Inside the great iron statue of Moloch, & roaring fire was built on holy gays, and into the white hot arms of the god, wo- men hurled their screaming infants. Even the Greeks, who established & civilization higher than that of any other ancient people ,regularly “exposed” their unde- sired infants on the mountainsides. And Socrates, their greatest man, saw nothing in the practice to condemn. Little by little, through the succeeding centuries, the paby has been coming into his own. Romulus, who founded Kome, took the first forward step; the emperor Hadrian made another advance. But it was Christianity that discovered the baby. All motherhood became sanc- tifled in the worship paid to Mary, the mother of Jesus. All chidhood was en- robled by the Babe in the manger. To- day we measure the civilization of a na- tion by the question: How does it treat its bables? And the civilization of an individual can be measured by the same test, but one little section in your home of the human race is given to you irre- vocably—your babies. 1If there is a baby in our home, nurSing bottles ought to be more important to us than stocks or bonds. We ought to know more about the various kinds of babies' food, than We know ubout cards er golf. Our busi- ness is important because it makes our living. But our home is all Enportant because thers we make lives. This is a baby's letter and our hats are off to the little fellows—the future proprietors of the earth, the most im- portant cirizens in the world. Eiiza Jane: I make potato candy. My recipe is three tablespoons of hot mash- ol potato to one pound confectioners su- gar. Mash potato very fine and have ic hot, then stir in your one pound of sugar. You can make peppermint candy, by adding a few drops of peppermint. Sprinkle board With fine sugar, roll and cut out drops. Stir in_chocolate and you have chocolate candy. You can make cocoanut candy. T sent some cai- @y to the lady who lives next to you, and that is the way I made hers. Three ta- Biespoons of hot, mashed potato to one pound confectioners sugar. You car add nuts and raisins if you wish; Another good recipe is one pound con-. fectioners sugar, and just enough boiling water to make a heavy paste, one tea- Spoon butter. Stir that to a heavy eream. 1 you Jike chocolate flavor use cocoa. This also makes an excellent filling fox, cake. You may put in vanilla or lemon.

Dear Editor and Sisters: Every time I read the letters that ask why the old members do not write, I feel I am not doing 'my bit to keep the page filled and encourage the editor who takes so much pains with us to make it interesting for us. I enjoy all the letters ana secipes. and like to try them. The weeks go by So fast I do not get a chance to try them all before the next Week's letters are here with more to read and try.

Dear Social Corner Members: I want to ‘thank By Jingo for answering two of my questions. 1 imagine you are stout. 1 wonder it you drink too much coffes?

I will send mine, hoping it is the one she wants. Dried Apple Cake—Take two and one- half cups of dried apples, cook ip warm Water one-half hour; then put them Into two cups of molasses and simmer two hours. Take three eges, one cup sugar, beat together, one cup milk (sweet), vne cup shortening, two teaspoons sods, . five cups flour, any fruit and spice to cuit. Bake slowly. This will make two ordi- nary sized, loaves or one extra large one. Like any other fruit cake, it improves it to bake glow and long. say from one to two hours for ordinary sized loaves. ‘Wishing all success and & happy new year, I am,as ever, yet AUNTY NO. 1. - —— TAKING GUM OUT OF A DRESS. Dear Editor and Sisters: If the sister who wanted a dried spplo cake will try this I think she will fike it: Two cups dried apples soaked over night, then boil- ed in two cups molasses for one and a Ralf hours; add one-half cup butter, stir- ring till melted; cool, then add one-half cup suger, two beaten eges, four level teaspoons soda, two cups buttermilk, all kinds of spice. Make stiff as loaf cake. Yes, Aunt Jerusha, my little girl's an- niversary and the Social Corner's are the same Week. I remember the day. I be- lieve the Scotland sisters were hostesses and you brought & marble cake. Wonder if any of the sisters ever had a like experlence as myself, when going to the pictures, of sitting in a seat where eomeone had carelessly parked their discarded chewing gum? /Think someone «lse must have cafried off part of it be- fore I.got there, as there wasn't much left, but it was well rubbed in and spread around (a black skirt, too).
