HTwice Baked Bread--Good Fer the
Teeth and the Digestion.

The custom of twice baking the
bread is baeoming quite a common
thing with G great many housekeepers.
This is most frequently due to the adj
vice of a physician, for ZWieback is q
standard remedy for indigestion and
beneficial in some kinds OF kidney trOu-
Bile. But the greatest good to be derived
from its use is its effect upon the
teeth. This should cndeHr it to every
mother who has the welfare of her
children at heart, as a child can have
few better inheritances i'll the shape OF
bodily perfection than a set Of healthy
teeth.
1t is said that the habit of eating 50
much soft, sloppy food is the reason 50
few have perfectly sound. strong teeth
Even more terrifying consequences are
predicted. We are told that if this same
practice is adhered to toothless race
will be the result. Though such a ca
tastrophe is highly improbable, we arc
faced with the fact that the great ma
jority of the people of the present age
have not half as good teeth as did their
portion Of the human system, have a
given amount Of work to perform to
keep them in healthy condition.
Food which requires but little mastica-
ton deprives them of their appointed
tasks and makes them weak.
Consequently children should be Civ
en- all the zwieback they will eat, and
adults, too, will find that the health of
their teeth can be improved by it's con-
sumption. But of course all this n.y.
gienic inducement which is held out
would probably prove fruitless if it
were it not for the fact that the taste
for zwieback is an increasing one.
Few people who have eaten it, even
but short time, care to go back to
common bread, for it seems soft and
insipid after the crispiness of the re-
baked.
The Vienna bread makes the best
zwieback, although any other kind of
bakers bread will do if this is not Oh
tainabie, but homemade bread viii not
give satisfactory results. In preparing
it is q good plan to cut up several
loaves in slices of medium thickness
Place them in the oven and allow to
remain there overnight subjected to q
moderate temperature for twelve hours.
Bread treated in this way will be supe-
rior to that which is baked in a quicker
oven in shorter period.-Table Talk.

Excellent Layer Cake Recipe.

One and half teacupfuls Of sugar
and two heaping tablespoonfuls of but
ter thoroughly creamed. Add two Ia
blespeonfuls of milk, three well beaten
eggs, one heaping teaspoonful of bitk-
ing powder and one heaping teacupful
of sifted -four This amount of dough
will be enough to generously cover the
bottom Of four layer cake pans Of ordi-
nary size. The rule is an excellent one,
and by using different filings an al
most endless variety of layer cakes
may be obtained.

has been employed to give the correct

The round ornaments of various sizes
are all made on the same plan, either
with or without an edge. The cotton is
wound round a knitting pin until the
required thickness has been attained
and single treble then worked all

pinched into the shape required.
