Cane Sugar Necessary
Caramel Roll

Perhaps this recipe may help the per son asking for caramel roll: To one quart of flour add one cake of com pressed yeast. dissolved in lukewarm water; half pint fo milk. half pint of water, one cup of sugar teaspoon of salt, two eggs, equal proportions of lard and butter to make half cup. Mix well; add enough flour to make a soft dough Let it stand to rise. which should be al- most three hours. Have ready a skillet and in the bottom place at least one cup of light brown sugar. small pieces Of butter, and chopped nuts tnuts may be omitted). Then take half of the quan- tity of raised dough. place on aboard. and roll out to the thickness desired thalf an inchl. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, and entrants. Roll like a jelly cake; cut off pieces about two inches in height, place in the skillet. greasing each slice. Fill the pan. Let it rise until light, and bake about half an hour. When fin- ished turn out Immediately onto large plate. The idea of using skillet Is to have the use of the handle to turn out the contents before the sugar in the bot. tom of the pan is allowed to chill.

 "It is often suggested" Miss Sparks went on to say that these sick babies be sent to the hospital, but it must be remembered that often the hos pitals are crowded and there is no room and then too the parents often object to sending their babies to the hospital"
 q asked our nurse, Mrs. Sanford, Miss Sparks continued. just a few days ago how much ice an average family requires in case of sickness. She said she could give me no definite idea as circumstances, of course, govern cases Sometimes it will run up to $10 week, while at other times it will be much less. It all depends on the num- Der of patients in family and the dis ease they have"
 "In one section of the city, Miss Sparks said, you would be dumbfound- ed to see the conditions. No shade, no porches, many large families all crowd ed into small rooms, no screens in the windows and the flies devouring ev- erything and sick babies and sick mothers without a comfort or con veniencei Really it is pitiful and the ice fund means a great deal more to these people than the casual observer im- agines."

One of the many fine practical ventures of the women who have in charge the extension work of the Young Womans s Christian association is the summer camp which is to be opened next week at St. Clair Springs. It will be the objective point of many members of the association during the summer vacati ton, many spend ing 10 days or two weeks in this delight ful spot enjoying the swimming pool, the excellent water and the wholesome fare that is to be provided, others going out during the weekend. It is the desire of the association to keep the camp open also throughout the winter. so that con- valescents or those in need of rest and country air may be accommodated at any time they may go.

 "It is done by popular subscription was the reply. That is the way it is managed in nearly all of the large cities. Chicago raises her ice fund for the poor babies and mothers of that great city by popular subscription. Memphis also has the same method of raising the money"
 "Even if we have to make a sac rifice to contribute to the ice fund for babies and mothers this summer" Miss Sparks said in conclusion. We will
 be repaid by the great amount of hap piness it will bring into sorrow strick

And perhaps some man who indulges himself in the finest cigars should de- eide to make just a bit of a sacrifice and send us check for what he spends in one month for cigars. don't you think he'd be very happy to know that he had given so much real comfort and joy to some poor little sick baby or dragge out. worn out, mother?
