COOP CHEER-Some of my friends have writ

ing such delicious biscuit Since then we have
tested it most thoroughly, and am happy to say
that it fills the bill exactly For students who do
their own cooking or men who board themselves,
OF young wives who not yet skilled in kitchen
and culinary arts it is invaluable; but it seems to
me you women in the East should know all about
it because it is made by one of the professors in
Harvard University, on purely scientific princi-
pies. The regular packages on sale
are sufficient for preparing twenty-five pounds of
flour. Never mind the little measure that you
may get with the regular package, but weigh out
the flour and sft the preparation through it most
thoroughly, two three times; then put this flour
by itself in a covered box or pail When you go
to use it there is no running here and there for
the necessary ingredients; there it is and all you
