GINGER COOKIES. The best ginger
cookies that ever tasted had in place of the
usual cup of water cup Of sweet milk.
This gave lghtness to the cakes that water
cannot give. The formula for these is;
Two cups of New Orleans molasses, one cup
of sugar, one cup of swee! milk, half cup
of lard, one teaspoonful each of ginger and
of soda, one teaspoouful of salt. The lard
instead of being melted, should he rubbed
with the flour the same as for pie-crust.

A VERY nice way to make cornstarch
pudding is to put halfa peach in the bottom

mango over it. When ready to serve, turn
from the cup into saucer. Slices or quarters
of oranges may bs used in place of the peach.
A thin custard for sauce is recommended to
