'Catarrh. "A health publication says
one of the most prominent causes OF
catarrh is the excessive use of salt and
/ heaters, such as sweets, fats, condi-
ments and starch. This excess of car
bonaceous food excites and infiames
the mucous membranes of the throat,
nasal passages, bronchial tubes, ETC. Iii
| is also caused by indigestion and con-
stipation.s Headaches and neuralgia
proceed from the same causes.
Stewed CeIery.-It is not everybody
who likes raw celery, and some cannot
eat it for want of somocg good teeth. 1t
is sometimes dressed as a salad, cut up
into what may be called splints. We
all know now fine it is when it helps to
make Chi icken salad. Still, there are
many who prefer. it steeced. 1t is first
split and tied in little punches, the
same as asparagus. and boiled, then
dressed with pepper, salt, butter, and
some use little onion. In fact it
should be prepared very much as oyster
plant is slowed and prepared. When
well done it is an excellent dish, and
when once accustomed to it generally
preferred to any other form. '7
81 Loaf Cake.-A rich loaf cake is made
from this recipe. If baked in an oven
where tho heat is even you cannot fail
to have u very nice cake. Use two
cups of sugar, one cup of butter, three
cups and Il half of -four (sifted, OF
cOrrse), ono scant cup of sweet milk, a
heaping teaspoonful of baking powder
and five eggs; beat the yolks and whites
separately, mix the baking powder with
the flour, and after beating the butter
and sugar together, add the other in
gradients. putting the flour in last. For
the frosting save out the whites of two
eggs, beat stiff, add one-haf cup of pull
verified sugar. six tablespoOnfuls of
grated chocolate. two teaspoonfuls of
vanilla; when spread over the top of the
cake set in the oven for few moments
TO harden. Buy the chocolate which is
not sweetened. The frosting is not to
be put on until the cake is baked and is
cool. d $500.
/. i German Yeast Bread. When fresh
German or compressed yeast can be obs
.tained, a very nice light bread can be
made and baked in about three hours
time. For two large loaves of bread
use three pounds of Hour, one quart of
>lukewarni water, one tablespoonful of
SALT and two ounces of yeast; dissolve
the yeast in the water; add to it enough
of the flour to make batter thick enough
to hold the drops from the stirring spoon
s when they are shaken from its surface,
and set this batter or sponge near the
e stove to risc; it must be placed where
the hand can be laid without burning,
and must be covered with folded towel.
When it is light and foaming mix in the
rest Of the flour and salt and knead it
for five minutes, using enough more
flour to keep it from sticking to the
hands or to the bread board upon which
it is kneaded: form it into loaves, place
them in separate pans near the stove,
and let them grow double in size; then
prick them with a fork, and bake them
: for an hour in a moderate oven, taking
care that they do not burn. 4l 22s's-
