water and one and three-quarter cups
of sifted buckwheat -four. Let rise
over night. In the morning stir well
and add quarter OF a teaspoon OF soda
dissolved in quarter OF cup OF luke

lasses. The soda is AIDED to neutralize
any acidity which has developed over
night. Cook the cakes on hot grid

pork being the best to grease the grid
die with. as less grease is absorbed.
This is good way to use up the pork
rinds. Serve the cakes hot from the
griddle, not piled one upon the other.
as that way OF serving will make them
heavy and indigestible. Maple syrup
usually accompanies buckwheat cakes.
The molasses added to the mixture in
the morning will give nice crisp edge,
to the cakes.

Women Climb Ropes.

Would it be possible, do you think"
q reporter asked Miss Daisy NJ Elliott,
keacher in the Berkeley gymnasium in
New York city, for woman, If she
understands the science of coming
down rope, to put her foot around it

'One OF the girls here has told me
that she has made practical trial Of
her ability to go down rope and that
she did descend from third story win

she had been able to do it. 1t means
great deal to undertake anything like
that when there is not the necessity

learn here to climb the rope before We
go down 1t, and that is the most diff
cult part. The girls sometimes climb
one rope and reach over to another
and go down that. This comes under

The work is laid out in regular course

times are able to climb the ropes at
the end of the first season; older people
seldom or never do. A girl under 16
will do best of all. Over 16 the girls
have perhaps been wearing tight
clothes and they seldom or never have
the freedom of motion of the boys. The
older people get to rope climbing by
the second season, but the seasons for
most OF them are short. Rope climb

Household Suggestion.

Onions, which are regarded by food
authorities as one of the most valuable
vegetables that we have. are unfortu-
nately also found by many persons
very difficult to digest. A suggestion
that has been tested, It's giver says, by
long experience, and tried by many per-
sons with success, is to add a little
sugar to the onion salad to prevent any
discomfort after eating it. Anything
which will encourage the consumption
of onions Is to be recommended.
Physicians say that they are wonderful
rejuvenators, and possess as well re-
markable healing powers. The raw
Bermuda onion is the variety that is
most palatable and the most efficient,
and If, with a little sugar, 1t Is also
easily assimilated, the knowledge be-
comes valuable.
1t is not generally known to what use
the lemon may lay claim to. We find
in the lemon Juice an acid which is
thoroughly wholesome and agreeable.
It's use is not confined to the Kitchen in
flayoring our pies, cakes and sauce, or
for ices and iced tea, but we can find 1t
useful in the laundry in removing ink
