was worse for us than coffee; choco-
late and cocoa were soon tired of;
milk was not liked very well, and hot
water we could not endure.
About two years ago we struck
upon Postum and have never been
without 1t since.
I'VE have seven children. Our baby
now eighteen months old would not
take milk, so we tried Postum and
found she liked it and it agreed with
her perfectly. She is today, and has
been, one of the healthiest babies in
the State.
Il use about two-thirds Postum and
one-third milk and teaspoon Of sugar,
and put it into her bottle. If you could
have seen her eyes sparkle and hear
her say good" today when gave 1t

she likes it.

Hundreds of Chinese scholars and
business men, and resolutions were
passed in approved public meeting
style, approving of a campaign against
the gambling vice. Members of the
Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-

meeting, and to demonstrate by the
means of games the possibility OF
recreation without vice. Suitable ad-
dresses were given by prominent Chi
nese and the chief organizer of the
movement is one of the government
education inspectors for the provinces
of KianFsu and Kiangsi. A Chinese
Roman Catholic teacher gave a violin
solo, a Chinese secretary of the Young
Mems Christian association rendered
two Cornet solos, and Protestant
missionary sang to the gathering The
whole meeting was conducted in so
orderly and orthodox a fashion that 1t
was scarcely possible to realize how
tremendous a reformation in the
whole Chinese outlook upon public
life this meeting revealed. Twenty
years, even ten years. ago such
meeting would not have been within
the realm of possibility. Today we

Christianity in their midst the ideals
which they are desirous of impressing

the flour looks and feels mealy, then
add one and one-half ounces OF milk

the dough out on a well-foured cloth

Slip the cover over the pin and rub

with light pats.
This should be moist, so It will
stick to anything but the well-foured
canvas. II must not be touched with
the hands except when the cakes are
laid on the -griddle. Roll the dough
out into an even sheet, about three
quarters of an inch thick, cut out with
biscuit cutter and bake on a granite
griddle, leaving them far enough apart
so they will not stick The fire should
not be too hot.
When the cakes puff up to double
their size, turn and bake on the other
side. Have a second batch baking
while the first is being eaten, like
griddle cakes. Serve hot, so the but
ter will melt at once when the cakes
are split and the butter is spread
