A Word of Gratitude.

Before presenting my contribution
and before asking for help, let me bring
word Of gratitude for the never-fail-
ing recipe for light bread given by you
a year ago and repeated lately.
In my part OF the country few house
keepers have made bread, and it had
always seemed bugbear to me. When
I read your recipe, it seemed too easy
to be true. but l determined to try ana
TO succeed 1t has the finest flavor of
any white bread I ever ate. Ny en-
thusiasm abates not.
May suggest one of my favorite
ways of cooking lambs liver?
Slice the liver in rather thin and small
slices. Pour boiling water over it. Let
it stand thus for a few minutes. Then
dry. ana roll in meal which has been
saited and -peppered. Fry a few slices
Of bacon until all the fat is fried out.
Remove the bacon from the skillet
and fry the liver in the hot fat until
done. Place the liver on dish where it
will keep hot: drain all the fat out Of
the skillet and make a cream gravy, as
for (so-caHed) Maryland fried chicken.
