OUR TEACHERS.

Ooh 4Gf1S4AoAsSs
Miss Ora Rippee, our efficient
first primary teacher, graduated
from the Mansfield High school
with the class of 1907. She taught
two successful terms in rural
schools and in 1908 was elected to
her present position. She has been
faithful in attendance at Normal
during the summer and has mas
tered her work so thoroughly that
she is now considered one of the
very best primary teachers III tins
section of the state. A visit to her
room will convince any one that
Miss Rippee knows just how to
work with little children. This
closes the sixth consecutive term
for her in the primary department
of our school and all are glad Miss
Ora is to remain in her place next
year.
Miss Sarah Gaskill has had one
years high school training and
has spent 32 weeks in Normal
schools. She has taught i'll sew
eral of the best rural districts in
: this community and has always
given general satisfaction wher
ever she has taught. She was Of
fered $50 per month i'll some Of
the same places where she had
= taught before, but she preferred
. to hold her place in the grades
| here. Her room was in very bad
Z condition when she began her
r work two months before the close
. Of school last year, but she has
6 improved the discipline greatly.
l. Her work has been too heavy this
y term to do what was expected to
{ be done. The total enrolment in
II her room this year is 10 pupils,
l. and if Mr.. Arnold had not found
It time to hear one class for her il
It would have been almost impOssi
} Bile to have covered the prescribed
II work in these grades. There have
l. been only six tardies in this room
d this year.

Things 10 Remember

The softer cookies are mixed the
lighter and more moist they will be,
To handle soft dough for rolling and
cutting, take only small amount on
the board at time,
When very soft dough is to be rolled
and cut, always add little baking pow
der to flour used on the molding board
and the rolling pin, as the -four alone
will tougher the dough.
10 bake cookies use sheet or shal.
low pan and always bake at the tor Of
the oven. Never try to bake cookies in
a deep pan. The heat must get directly
at the cooky from the sides as well IS
the top. II one does not have a shallow
pan or cooky sheet, invert a dripping
pan and use the bottom of it. Have
moderate oven for cookies.
To bake Tea Cakes ALWAYS nae the slow
oven until the cakes have doubled ID
buik. Then bake until done with the
hotter oven. If tea cakes ssmountain
up and crack open it is an indication
they baked too quickly.
K c Baking Powder IL excellent for
cookies. It is not always possible to
nave enough oven room or enough shall
low low pans to bake all the cookies at one
time. With X c it is perfectly safe to
NIX as much batter as you wish and
pake as fast as convenient. The last
cookies baked will be equally as nice as
the ilrst, due to the nature of X C Bsk-
ing Powder.
Is 9 Is SO made that it gives two dis.
tinct raises-one out of the oven and
one IN the oven. This double raise allows
1000 70 remain out of the oven for hours
ana stlll be light when baked and II also
makes the food much lighter than the
old fashioned baking powder. Test this
bymaking your fsvorite cake
with K c and note the difference in the
size Of It when baked.

Microscope in the Kitchen.

The use of the microscope is recon-
mended in the kitchen, If not of the
ordinary house, at least of those hay-
ing an army of servants and purchas-
ing by wholesale. In hotels, boarding
houses, hospitals, jails, its use in our
complicated modern life is becoming
essential, and the need is based upon
the necessity of determining the de-
gree of adulteration of food. The chef
has no excuse for not knowing what
he buys II he is provided with a
microscope.
In starchy substances the adultera-
lions will soon be revealed by the
microscope II the grains of starch
do not have the selfsame form In the
potato and in rice. The same thing
may be said of the spices. Pepper
can be adulterated only with peas or
ground beans, and this fraud also
may be readily detected. The rule
may be almost universally applied to
all foods that pass through the kitch.
en-, and especially the kitchens OF the
wealthy. Coffee under the microscope
does not look like chicory in structure
and chocolate made with peanuts does
not look like pure chocolate.-Har.
