SIMPLE RECIPE FOR COOKIES
Is Not Extrsvagant at This Time
When Eggs Are Coming
in Fast.

At this time of the year, when eggs
are coming in fast in suburban homes
where chickens are kept, the following
recipe for cookies will not seem ex-
travagant, though it calls for five
eggs: Cream two cupfuls of sugar
and a cupful of butter. Add five well
beaten eggs and cupful of sour milk
Flavor in any way desired Stir the
mixture into two cupfuls Of flour, sift-
ed with a scant teaspoonful of soda.
Add enough extra -four to make bat
ter that can be rolled out and cut in
to cookies. Then bake as usual. A
cheaper rule calls for two eggs beat
en- with a cupful of sugar. Melt half
cupful OF butter and add to it half
a cupful of milk, one rounded tea
spoonful of cream of tartar and half
teaspoonful of soda. Flavor with
len on or almond extract and add flour
suf1 cient to roll out. Sprinkle with
sugar and bake.

DRAINAGE POLICY
GIVEN NEW BOOST
See importance of Supreme
Court Decision Rendered.
MAY ASSESS OTHER DISTRICT
Tax Provision of State Law Held
Valid in First Test Case Arising in
jefferson County Drainage Pro-
jects.

Madison.-The drainage policy in
the state of Wisconsin was given a
decided boost when the supreme
court decided that one drainage dis
trlct can assess another for benefits.
This ruling was made in the case of
the Rattlesnake Drainage District VS..
koshkonong Mud-creek District. This
was the first test ia the state upon
the constitutionality of this phase of
drainage law. The Rattles,lake dis
trfct lies in the towns of Sur Prairie,
Medina, Deerfield and Cottage Grove,
while the Koshkonong district lies
below and adjoining this in the
town of Cottage Grove, Deerfield and
ON to Lake Mills in Jefferson county,
the whole comprising about $500
acres of rich low land.
The Rattlesnake district was form
ed in the fall of 1908 and the Kosh-
konong district the January follow
ing. 1t was found that the upper
district as organized would have no
outlet for its drainage save through
the territory of the lower. 1t was
tnen proposed that the upper district
be reorganized SO as to take in part
! OF the lower, but the commissioners
and their attorneys could not agree.
The lower district proposed to tax
the upper $4,000. The case was
tried in circuit court and the Jury
! returned an assessment against the
upper of $1,515. This finding was
upheld by the supreme court.

THE LURE OF THE TEATABLE
lar Among Women as the Aft
ernoon Tea.

There is no form OF entertaining so
universally popular as the informal
afternoon tea, when two or three
friends gather over cup of the bev-
erage that cheers AMI chat gaily Of
the little intimate things of the hour.
The teatable, therefore, is always a
source of interest to women, and Ques-
tons of the making of tea and its ac-
cessories of paramount interest
Women who pride themselves on
their tea making assert that tea, to be
good, should be made in an earthen
pot, never in metal one.
Tea is never good when long stand
ing, but in some cases 1t cannot be
helped. 1t should be poured of the
leaves into another heated pot and
covered with a cosy"
If cream is taken, a less expensive
grade of tea may be used than when
lemon is preferred.
An old fashioned idea is to dror
few shavings of dried orange pee
into the pot in which the tea is made
Some like this, while others believe
that 1t spoils the flavor of the bev
erage
Bits of cinnamon and two or three
cloves dropped in are other ways Of
varying the cup that cheers.
The jam pot should not be fal
from the tea table.

fin is the generous amount of melted

Peculiar Bitter Flavor of the Plant
Acts as a Stimulant 20 the
Appetite.

The peculiar bitter flavor of the
handelion acts as stimulant to the

year, free for all to gather, this nat

very generally used. 1t is good for

Gather the young plants. Take g eat
care to clean them thoroughly. ScIape
the roots white and clean and rise In
several cool waters. The best way to
remove every bit of grit is to hold
the green's under fast running water
after rinsing. Some people prefer to
remove the roots.
To one-half peck az pounds) Of
green's allow two quarts of boiling wa
ter and two-inch cube of salt pork.
Put the pork in the kettle first. Boil
slowly and steadily for one hour. or
until tender: add one-half teaspoon
full of salt when half done. They are
not good unless perfectly we'll cool ed.
Drain. Cut up coarsely with a knife.
Put in a saucepan to re-heat, adding
a tablespoonful of butter, pepper and
more salt If needed. Serve piled in
hot dish, with thin slices of the pork
laid around, also a few lemon wedges,
Pass oil and vinegar for those who
wish to use them; If distasteful a
good squeeze of lemon juice and q
dash of paprika will be found de

One more word: If you canno. clean
and cook the dandelions as soon as
gathered, rinse them, cover with 8
wet cloth and put in a cool place tc
