Pancakes.

Somebody has been bamOaning the
fact that burkwheat cakes are passing
out of popular approval. Well, who
cares? Just the ordinary pancake Is
good enough for the ordinary mortal.
Don't you remember those good old
days at home when you were q boy or
a girl and mother set before you at
breakfast IL plate of steaming hot PAN
cakes: They had no fancy name, nor
had they any fancy flavor. They were
lust simply and solely pancakes. But,
all, We gods, how delicious!
The buckwheat cake, it is said, is
disappearing because it is not Of its
former high quality, the deterioration
being due to adulteration Of the flour
and to incompetent cooking in about
equal measures. People won't eat
buclwheats unless they are palatable.
Only first class buck wheats need ap-
ply, anyhow.
Did you ever partake, or try to par
take, Of the so called flannel cakes OF
the average restaurant of a dozen
years ago or more? Ugh! They were
the extreme limit and the last refuge.
Now they call them wheat cakes, but
all the same they are wretched sub
stitutes for the pancake Of your boy
hood, ut most lunch counters and res
taurants.
But the good old fashioned pancake!
Say, by the way, gentle reader, does
anybody make 'em any more? II SO,
please pass half a dozen this way.
We still have good butter and mo-
lasses, though they have got to calling
the latter Wand 'sirup." Pass the
pancakes.
