To five cups lukewarm water use
handful of salt (generous), a handful Of
sugar (scanD, one tablespoonful shorten-
ing, one cake compressed yeast. The
liquid and othe ingredients are put IN the
bread mivxer first, then the five quarts
Of -four. The mixer is turned three to six
times. This mty be done any time before
bedtime and next morning the chank in
mixer is turned until the bread forms a
ball Ctwo or three minutes), then taken
out and cut into five loaves, one of which
was a half cup OF sugar and three
fcurths of cup of raisins added \
heaping cup of the dough is made into
a coffee or apple cake by adding a sener-
Gus handful or two of sugar one egg ,or
none If searcel, and shortening the size
OF two walnuts. Mix thoroughly, put in
an inch high square pan, and after it las
raised two hours sprinkle generously with
brown and white sugar and cinnamon and
dot with small bits of butter. Bake for
about 25 minutes. This can be covered
with slived apples and grated nutmeg and
sugar. or half of it can he covered with
the apples. OF this quantity of dough or

or ten minutes to be sure it is well done
Although this is as simple a process y
bread making as l believe there is yet
ii takes time as the bread has to be
watcred faithfully in the baking.
''The cup / use to measure holds three

Cover the bones with a quart of boil

the cooker for an hour two on the
range). Add any kind of vegetables de-
sired and you have a savory soup. / Use
tomatoes onions, celery or celery salt i
large tablespoonful of rice, or potato il
desired, and dash OF cayenne pepper.
This may not be new to some, but Il
may be welcome to those who hate to
throw away good bones. X. y. Il.

Freshening Stale Bread

II add my mite with a recipe for fresh
ening up bread which is little dry.
Steam in a steamer over boiling water
until warmed through thoroughly, then
slip it into a paper sack and place it in
a warm over until the outside is dried
well. 1t will ne almost as nice as fresh
baked bread.
Another: When cooking meals on a
gas stove one can save matches by hav-
ing a little metal or china vessel to drop
the used matches into These will start
other burners when needed from the bur-
ner that is already lighted.
