EXCHANGE CLIPPINGS
Cocoa or Chocolate

In the first place never use any but
enameled or silver dishes or spoons
when using chocolate. The plainest
or the most elaborate cocoa is COM
menced in the same way Because of
the eornstarch which is in most vari-
cites the powder must be cooked over
the flame at first Use according to
the directions on the package, as far
as amount of sugar and cocoa or cho-
colate are concerned. Pour few
spoonfuls of water on this and cook
over the fire until smooth paste re-
suits, and then add the liquid, which
may be all water or all milk, or a mix
ture of the two according to convenience
or power of digestion. Finish cooking
over water
If milk is used, keep the vessel covered
in order to prevent scum forming
over the top. If such scum does form,
beat it up instead of skimming 1T OIL, as
it contains much of the nourishing proper
ties of the milk. When ready to serve an
addition which many like is a drop OF
vanilla extract for each large cup of liquid.
The French often churn the chocolate
Just before turning it out. This makes it
frothy If whipped cream is used it is put
into the cup before pouring the liquid
These are the simplest ways of making
the drink and are the best Some thicken

Indian Pudding.

Made as our grandmothers prepared it,
without eggs. The old way that has never
been improved upon is to bring a quart
of fresh milk to boil, in an iron
kettle, then sprinkle into it, little by
aplH with the left hand, above one
and one-quarter cupfuls of fine granulated
meal, stirring constantly meanwhile with
the right hand The meal should be held
high and allowed to siit slowly through the
fingers. When this has thickened and
cooled, two teaspoonsful Of ginger, three
quarters Of cup Of molasses and one-half
teaspoonful OF salt should be stirred in
and the mixture beaten until smooth
The pudding dish must then be thoroughly
creased, the batter poured in and quart
of cold milk turned in at the last. After
this last ad iii but little stirring is
needed. Bake about five hours in a slow
oven. The slower tie oven the more
creamy and delicious tie pudding. After
the cold milk is added the batter should

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS.


Advice Not Always Welcome But it Fits
Some Cases Admirably eLittle Temp

Mind your own business may not be a
pretty slogan but it fits many individual
cases admirably. Much of the nerve strain
and worry that makes round shoulders and
bumped backs is over troubles which con-
Germ the most of us indirectly, If at all.
We lie awake nights bordering the solu
ton of the problems which harass the
State officials We spend our mornings
on the city hall lot, trying to figure out

we fritter away our afternoons with our
associates confabing over +. II. Harri-
mans chances for a long and happy ca

Thus the things over which you screw your
eyes and wrinkle your nose are smooth

realization is brought home to you, by
your wife and friends that your indivjd-

who interests himself in his business alone
to the entire exclusion of those things

strikes the happy mean between the two.

we are tempted and haven't grit enough

us. To be tempted and to resist requires
too much sand. Is it Browning who says
"Why comes temptation, but for man to

And so be pedetaled in triumph"
We can easily resist the big temptations,

master us completely.
