An Alabama Sister
Dear Household:


/ must say I quite disagree with Mrs. Nettie
on giving the boys all the education and only
teaching the girls 10 and cook. l say give
the girls all the education possible. II educated
girls make ignorant housekeepers (which hard

er's fault. There is plenty OF time outside
the school room to learn all the more practical
arts Of housekeeping. What does ignorant

ion is the more educated the mother, the better
off the child. physically. mentally and morally.
You have probably all observed that where
there is a large family the last ones usually
the brightest. whyf Because the mother is
better educated than when the first were
born. Her intellectual being has expanded

History proves the above as a fact Napo-
leon was the last of large family. Washing
ton Franklin. Lincoln. Roosevelt and many
others are all good examples along this line OF
thought.

Separately: The following recipe will be
found one of the best ever for layer
cakes. being very light and moist. as

Here are some ways OF using II: With
one-fourth the amount OF sugar 1t makes
the best ever mullins or gems. A
friend to whom I passed ii along uses it
for her steam pudding; another for her
cottage pudding, either steamed or baked.

moving IL you lose much of the juice.
II the family is "finicky'' at breakfast
this is good for them.
BAKED RHUBARB.
Wash the stalks and cut into inch
lengths. Use a sharp knife and do the
work quickly. Arrange in layers in
bake dish and strew generously with
sugar. When the dish is filled in this
order, squeeze the juice from half an
orange over all. Add not a drop of water.
Cover closely and bake. This is nice,
eaten cold or hot. With whole wheat
bread and butter, 1t is a satisfying break
fast.
We substitute dates for raisins some
times. Soak half a pound of dates for
six hours, or all night. In the morning
stew them soft to enable you to get at
the seeds. Slip these out and put the
dates on to cook with rhubarb when the
latter is almost done.
Pie plant cooked with prunes is bet
ter than laxative medicines when there
are symptoms OF biliousness in hot
weather.
Housekeepers, remember to keep cool
and serene. Don't get nervous over the
heat and the things to do. Be good to
yourself, do all the work you can in rea-

may not do IL as well or as willingly as
you could. but you can never teach them

Have a kettle OF water ready to place on

The stove must be regularly cleaned and

I prepared the dessert just after breakfast,
before the blaze turned off. used fruits,
melons and tomatoes, uncooked; also prepared

Miss Morris, who in private life is Mrs.

years old, is dying of infammatory rheu-
matism and according to her physicians
