of nine eggs, two and one-half cups sugar,
one cup butter, two cups -four one cup
corn.starch, one cup sweet milk, two tea
spoons baking powder. Flavor with
lemon Bake In o good-sized dish with
pipe.
TO Remove Grease Spots.-Apply
a stiff paste to the wrong side of the
material or garment Then hang it up
and leave it for some time when you will
be surprised to find that the grease has
been entirely absorbed by the paste, which
can then be rubbed of.
Recipe for Crackers.-B one cup;
salt, one teaspoon; flour, two quarts. Rub
thoroughly together with the hand, and
wet nip with cold water, beat well, and
beat in -four to make quite brittle and
hard; then pinch off pieces and roll out
each cracker by itself, if you wish them
TO resemble bakers crackers.
Corn Bread-Take one pint and q
| half of sour cream; leave little in the
cup and have il hot. In this dissolve one
| teaspoonfil of soda stir in meal to make
batter thick enough to pour. Beat two
eggs-stir in the eggs and soda last. This
will make enough for two dripping pans.
Sour milk and little shortening will do
instead of cream.
| Cold in the Head.-When the head
| feels swollen, and the nose obstructed, the
| forehead hot, and the eyes watery, snuff a
few drops of tincture of camphor up the
nose, every hour or two, and take inter
nally five or six drops on lump of sugar.
Ordinary cold, and even influenza, If
treated in this way in the very beginning
of the attack, is generally controlled al
once
"A very superior glue may be made by
dissolving three parts of india-rubber in
thirty-fou parts of naptha. Heat and agi
tation will be required to readily effect the
solution. When the rubber is completely
dissolved, add sixty-four parts of finely
powdered shellac, which must be heated
in the mixture until all is dissolved. This
mixture may be obtained in sheets like
glue, by pouring it, when hot, upon plates
of metal, where 1t will harden. When re
quired for use, it may be simply heated il
pot till soft. Two pieces Of wood o.
leather Joined together with this glue cal
scarcely be sundered without a fracture o.
tearing of the parts.
-Arresting Decay in Potatoes.-Vari
Gus plans for arresting decay in potatoe
after digging have from time to time beel
made public, such as busting with quick
!, lime, gypsum, charcoal dust, etc. Proi
Church, of Cirencester, Eng, the eminen
: agricultural chemist, announces that SUI
! phate of lime appears to exercise yer.
remarkable influence in arresting tn
spread Of decay in potatoes affected by tn
r potato disease. In one experiment til
: salt was busted over some tubers PARTIAL
decayed from this cause, as they were b'
E ing slowed away. Some months afterwar
/: the potatoes were found to have suffere
q no further injury. A similar trial wit
C powdered lime proved to be much les
\. effective.
n Food Medicine.-Dr. Hall relates I'll
: case of man who was cured of his bi
y iousness by going without his supper an
|, drinking freely of lemonade. Every NOR
r ing, says the doctor, this patient aros
|. with wonderful sense of rest and refresl
v ment, and feeling as though the bloc
i had been literally washed, cleansed an
a a cooled by the lemonade and the fast. ii
r theory is that food will be used as rem
dy for many diseases successfully. As a
!, i example, he cures cases of splitting bloc
4 by the use of SALT epilepsy and yello
II fever by watermelons kidney affection
/ by celery; poison, olive or sweet oi
q erysipelas, pounded cranberries applied
d the parts affected; hydrophobia, onion
r. etc. So the way to keep in good health
a really to know what TO eat-not to kno
what medicines to take.
