This makes a nice breakfast dish:
Mix together one pint of rich sweet
milk four well-beaten eggs, half a tea
spoonful of salt and a little pepper
Have the frying pan warm with little
melted butter in it to keep the ingredi-
ents from sticking. Turn the mixture
into 1t and stir continuously over the
fire When 1t begins TO look like yellow
popcorn II is done. Remove from the
fire before it becomes watery and'add a
little butter. This makes nice dish
for breakfast or a light substitute for
meat at supper
The following is called poor mans"
mullins. but they eat so good that no
man feels poor after eating them:
One may use half the recipe with a
, small egg with satisfactory results, for
this amount makes 30 mullins. Mix
and sift three and one-half cupfuls of
pastry flour, three tablespoonfuls of
sugar. six teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der and one teaspoonful of salt. Add
gradually, while beating constantly, one
and one-half cupfuls of milk, one egg
well beaten and three tablespoonfuls of
melted butter. Bake in buttered iron
gem pans 25 minutes, having the pan
previously heated.

one tablespoon butter, one heaping ta-
blespoon sugar, quarter yeast cake dis
solved in half cup tepid water, one tea

of cayenne pepper, one egg, one cup OF
vinegar. Cook in double boiler until

two cups of hot water. Pour over two

five minutes in fresh water. Take them
from the boiling water, drop them into
cold water and cut away all the wind

A rice and nut-meat mold is both
good to look at and good to eat. To
prepare 1t, line a buttered baking mold
with cold boiled rice. Season two cups
of chopped nut meats, using any variety
preferred, with salt and pepper, and
bind together with beaten egg. Fill
up the mold with this mixture and COW
er with layer of rice. Steam three

tomato or cream sauce. Then there
are nut balls nut croquets, nut salads,
nut sandwiches and numerous other nut
