preparations were made for a visit to
the isthmus, which it reached on

Some Helpful SUGGESTIONS

Mullins would be served on many more
breakfast tables if this meal were not
prepared SO hurriedly that there is not time
enough to stir up mullins and bake them.
With X G double-raise baking powder, the
batter may be stirred up the night before
and if set in a cool place, it will remain
in a partially leavened condition all night,
and the raising will be completed when put
in the oven in the morning. No difference
will be noticed between mullins mixed the
night before and those mixed Immediately
before baking. This should not be
attempted however, with any Of the old
fashioned single-acting baking powders.
The old fashioned way was to bake
mullins in a hot oven, but this makes q
thick heavy crust and a soggy center,
which is unpalatable and hard to digest.
The proper and healthful way to bake
lmufins is to start the oven at a low
Temperature, just as for baking cakes.
When the mullins come up to the top of the
pan, the heat should be raised, and they
should be baked until a crisp crust is
formed. This crust will be thin, and the
!~centers will be found light and fluffy, but
thoroughly baked.
Always sift the -four and baking powder
together at least three times, no matter
what kind of pastry is to be made. This
will insure its rising evenly and the -four
is lightened by having air sifted into it.
Either water or milk may be used for
mullins. Milk will make the richer muffin
and brown better, but water will answer
the purpose very nicely when milk is not
Ito be had.
A most excellent "spread" for mullins,
lhot biscuits and hot cakes is made by
dreaming together about equal parts Of
butter and honey either strained or in the
comb. If the butter is solid it will work up
to about the consistency Of hard sauce and
it is simply delicious.

A great many housewives have had
trouble in making rich, light, moist mullins
without their falling, and to overcome this,
they have resorted to making the batter 80
stiff that when baked, the mullins are very
dry. A muffin can be made almost as
light and just as palatable rs a pop-overi
but to make q light, moist muffin which is
not soggy in the center. q double-raise
baking powder such as K G must be used
X c Baking Powder has two separate and
distinct raises: one when moisture is
added, and the other when heat is applied
80 that the raising is sustained until the
muffin is baked through, and all danger o.
falling and becoming soggy is past.
Like biscuits, the softer the dough goe'
into the oven, the lighter the mullins tina
come out of it.

is HOME STUDY BENEFICIAL TO

country there is acted nightly the
comedy of father ald mother, brothers
and sisters teaching the younger chill

struction has been done.
The ordinary interests of the home
are intercepted, young children are
kept up nights, and in this home study
everything fiattens out into a dead
level of restlessness. The child in un-
comfortable circumstances loses inter

life. leaves school as soon as possible.
The child whose parents can help
in the preparation OF lessons is cod
died along from day to day without
learning the most important lesson the
school should teach, namely, how to
study.

duties to do, the dear mother is per-
haps sickly, and the father pei chance

must be up and doing. Breakfast over
and the morning work done up the
children hasten to school. At four p.
m. they hurry home to find a half days
work awaiting them, this being &C.
complished what happens then? Think
you that they can help the dear mother
with her mending and sewing or they
can devote an hour or two to their fav-
orite book, practice the last music
lesson or play with their dolls and let
me say right here that play is almost
as essential to the child as are food
and raiment. No, oh no, there is a
lot of hard problems in arithmetic to
be solved. countless questions in his
tory, geography are to be memorized.
At last tired and completely tagged
out the child seeks his bed not to
sleep but rather to dream of the same
long hard days work which confronts
him on the morrow and for nine long
months.
This Is Turing a thousand lives

should be taught and studied exclusive

a trained teacher.
We parents are getting more OF less

analysis are not az clear as they once
were, and after We have done our best

not want us to do it that way. This

trouble.
