Hash Recipe Wanted

 Can any of the readers give the recipe for heavenly hash? It is a conserve of pears, raisns and English walnuts. It was printed In the Corner years ago. 1 was so unfortunate as to lose it-hence the request. Also, the recipe for York sire pudding, and how it is served.
 MRS. J. e. B-'
 We have had so many and such various recipes for heavenly hash l hesitate to guess at the one you would have. Instead I appeal to expert housewives to send in the best formula for 1t which they have any knowledge. Yorkshire pudding -15 minutes before taking your roast of beef from the oven skim six table spoons of fat from the gravy, put into sraall dripping pan, and set in the other oven, which must be brisk Have ready this batter: Sift an even teaspoon of salt and one of baking powder twice with a pint of flour. Beat two eggs light, add a pint of milk, turn into them the sifted flour, and mix quickly. Set the reserved fat upon the upper grating of the oven and as it bubbles pour in the batter and bake to golden brown. Cut into squares. and when you dish the roast, lay them about 1t in the dish.

Gasoline is inflamabe. An easier way is to fill the house-one room at a time-with green pennyroyal. It Is in full season now, and may be had for the picking. Strew floors thickly with it.
