FOR THE FAMILY DINNER OR DE-

Lemon Sponge : Special DeIicacy With
Which to Finish a MeaI-cookies
Made With Sour Cream
Beaten Steak.

For a lemon sponge mix a cupful Of
sugar with the Juice of four lemons.
Beat the yolks Of four eggs and add
them to the mixture. Thin out with
one cupful and a half Of water and
cook until it begins to grow thick.
Then add enough MELTED gelatine to
stifen 1t when it becomes cold. Strain
the mixture into a mold, and just as 1t
begins to stifeE fold in the whites Ct
four eggs beaten to a stiff froth. II
English gelatine ID used four good Ia
blespoonfuls will usually be enough.
Delicious cookies are made with
sour cream. Beat half a liberal cup
full Of butter with two cupfuls Ct sugar.
Add two eggs and a cupful Of sour
cream. Flavor with half a grated nut
meg and a teaspoenful Of vanilla. Add
a teaspoonful Of soda dissolved in a
spoonful Of water and half a teaspoon
full Of salt. Stir in enough sifted -four
to make a dough that can be rolled
out. Let 1t stand q few minutes, then
lightly -four the molding board, dip
out a big lump Of the dough and turn
1t into cookies, using as little -four as
possible for rolling. After this batch
Is cut into cookies dip out some more,
and so on until all Is used. In this
way not SO much -four is likely to be
needed, as when the whole mass 10
turned out at once on the board, and,
Of course, the less -four uesd in rolling
out the cookies the better they are.
For southern beaten steak, a cheap
but juicy piece of meat is used. Cut
the meat into small steaks the size Of
the hand. Season each piece highly
with salt and pepper. Tten pound each
piece until it is almost literally a rag.
Roll up each and dip in cornneal. Fry
In very hot suet and serve at once for
breakfast, with coffee and rolls or corn
pone.
For another breakfast steak pound
a piece Of round steak until the tough.
est fibers are broken, then rub 1t with
lemon juice and double 1t ever. Pound
1t again and sprinkle with salt. Fold
1t over again, pound a third time II de-
sired, and fold yet again. It should
now be about an inch and a quarter
In thickness. Press 1t a little to make
1t adhere and have the edges of uni
form thickness. Rub with a little -four,
broil like any other steak and spread
with butter.

bod with fever and nervous prostra-
ton for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widows advice
brought relief.
II liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an incredibly short
time 1t gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In 2
months my weight increased from IS
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and l felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to see me
gain so rapidly, and still more 80

Mrs Mckenzie thought that the proper

effect she received painful bite in

to crack the shell of the turtle as if
il had been a cocoanut. The head IF
the hammer was not properly fastened
to the handle, however, and the re-
suit was that it flew off and struck old
man Huhu a nasty blow between the
eyes. Mr. Huhu thereupon displayed
unfortunate but unmistakable signs Of
irritation, prodding his hosts left

ing . bowl of poi over his head. While
Papa Hilahila was out of the room

that at turtle dinners held in Kakaako

the turtle spared, and the risk of i'm

breeding on the part of the host be
reduced to a minimum.
