Twinkles merrily within his saucy eye

Feeling the pastry tickle at his lips

yet been made public. He was guar

Above all, the championship can

The athletic will wear 1t in

With doughs and batters
the chief proportion to con-
slider is that of flour to

For griddle cakes a cup of
SOUR milk takes 1 IA of flour.
A cup of SWEET milk takes 1 1-2

cups of flour for each cup of
liquid, while the general proper
tion for mullins is one cup of
liquid to two of flour.
These proportions will vary
just a little with the kind of
flour used. The flour is always
measured after sitting, and just
level. A measuring cup divided
into quarters may be purchased
for cents.
The liquid may be water OF
