To the Editor and Social CorneS Sisters: This is a lovely, cool morn ing, and I think we can all appreciate it, after the extreme heat of a few dRys-just right to sit down to write 8 few reasonable recipes, that I have not yet seen in print:
 Canning succotash-rake nice ten- der corn, split the kernels and scraps them out. I also cut some of without splitting the kernels. Then put in ths cans first a layer of corn. then tha beans, and so on until the can is full Put a teaspoonful of salt on top and fill full of water Put the top on but do not screw eown tight Put in boiler with a rack at the bottom. FIJI the boiler to the neck of the jars and let 1t boil for three hours; then puf the rubbers un. screw the tops down tight; let them boil one hour longer, and it will keep for a year. I havt some in my cellar Just as nice as when first canned.
 Canned Beets-Take beets about aH large as an egg, boil about an hour, then put them in cold water, rub off the skin. put in jars, fill with cold water, with & teaspoon of salt on ton. let them boil for an hour in the boiler and you will have beets in winter, just as nice as when taken right out of the garden.

coRNFLoWERs WAY OF MIXING
 DRINKS,

Dear Editor and Sisters: I am glad that our sister, Mrs. Robinson, has sounded a warning on the use of fer mented drinks. Still Co-SoIid's recipe for root beer sounds so good that I in tend to make some, but make it as a syrup and not feEment it; then use it by adding little cold water, sweeten- ed to taste, I think it w1M be good.
 By the way, how many know that Hires Root Beer Extract makes a very pleasant drink by adding a teaspoon to a glass of cold, sweetened water?
 Sunshine; I shall try your tomato marmalade when my tomatoes begin to ripen. and am going to put up some pickles by the recipe given by One of Them.
 J. F. T.: wish some one would fill my pails for me when go berrying.
 Sunshine: You can buy spikenard root at the druggists for five cents an ounce, and you had better do 1t rather than run the risk of mistaking. some poisonous plant for 1t. That is why l think most people will continue to procure their medicines where poisons are labeled. It is hard for one un- verSed in the lore of field and woods to distinguish the helpful from the harmful

TESTED PUDDING RECIPES.

Dear Sisters of Social Corner: Here with l send few pudding recipes.
 BIueherry Bread Puddina-One-half cup of water to pint of berries, strain and sweeten to taste Cut stale bread in small squares and put layer in bowl, moisten well with hot berry juice then more bread and juice till all Is used. Cover dish and set away to cool. Serve cold, with plain or whipped cream or eustard sauce. I do not flavor the sauce as I think it detracts from the flavor of the pud- ding.
 Lemon Rice Puddinq-One cup of rice boiled soft in water. Add a pint of cold milk and a piece of butter the size of an egg. yolk of four eggs and grated rind of a lemon; mix and bake half an hour. After the pudding Is baked and cool, beat the white of 4 eggs in nearly pint of sugar and the juice of lemon. Pour this over and brown.
 Apple Puff Pudding-PeeI, core and i'll with sugar six large or eight small apples. Bake slowly and cool in serv- Ing dish. Beat whites of egges, a pinch of cream Of tartar and table spoons powdered sugar; heap one or two spoonsful on each apple and brown in the oven Serve with custard made of an egg yolk. Half this recipe is enough for small family.
 Pineapple Tapioca Puddina-Wash 1-2 cup pearl tapioca and put in double boiler with scant quart cold water and a pinch of salt. Cook until as clear as starch. Stir often to prevent Jumping. Remove from fire and put in dish in which you intend to serve it. Add 12 cup of sugar and & To- cent can of shredded pineapple. When cold, whip cream and spread on top | If you have your own preserved pine apple, use a large cupful instead ot the above.

EASY WAY OF BLAckINe A STOVE

Dear Sisters; Aunt Jerusha asks where all the mas and grandmas are. l can answer for one Ma. I hope there are not many of the Sisters who black stoves the old fashioned way of put ting on with a brush and polishing. Most people nowadays rub the stove with a greased woolen rag and occa- sionally, where the parts get red, sprinkle a little blacking on and rub the rag over it. It looks just as well as the other.
 With the tight fitting skirts one needs tight petticoats. I made one as nice at much less expense than those bought in the shops. sewed stocking legs together. the small ends at the top, and finished with silk ruff1e,

JOHNNY KILBANE, the feather

y his fall campaign in earnest with
a second meeting with Eddie OKeefe
in Cleveland, Ohio. The contest went

such match, as it would be a real
international battle and draw a ire

If Wolgast should still retain his
title and then meet Michigan it would
indeed be a contest for the worlds
title. as Michigan is champion of Aus
traliasa and worthy a match for the
championship. His battle with Wells
showed him to be a strong fighter as
well as a clever boxer. If the induce
ments are big enough il is expected
that Michigan will make the trip over
here and then return to Australia via
san Francisco, having another bout
there before sailing for the Anti

there would be no hitch on that score.
