Recipe for Johnny Cake

For those who like Johnny cake this recipe Is excellent: One cup of flour. one half cup of cornmeal, one-half cup of sugar one-half teaspoon of salt. two level teaspoons baking powder. one cup of milk, one egg, one tabespon melted hut ter. Mix all the dry ingredients; beat the egg; add the milk. Beat well and add the melted butter last. Beat well again and bake in shallow pan 20 min utes. It is very good
 CONSTANT READER"
 Who does not like Johnny cakes whan they are we'll made? Yours has the pecu- liarity of doubling the quantity of flour and halving the cornmeal, whereas the usual rule is to put twice as much corn meal as Hour, making the cake to belong .o the cornmeal family. l am prepared to believe that the product of your for mula Is. as you say, very good" albeit contrary to the old-fashioned housewifely method.

Among Crandmother's Books

'I am an inmate of an old peoples home in this city. I am anxious to get a copy of Hannah More's Practical Piety.' There may be persons who have it in their li- braries and who would be willing to part with this old time book to an old lady If you can get it for me I shall be thank full JULIET"
 Practical Pietys had a tremendous run 8 century ago. I have not seen a copy in 40 years. l am told 1t may be found In public libraries that make a speciality of old editions. I doubt not that a copy, sallowed by years, may be tucked behind newer books in a grandmother's library in house to which the Corner is a daily visitor. lnterrogate the dear old soul in behalf of her contemporary in the old peoples home and see if we cannot make the inmate happy for a little while in re- newing the memories of the days that are no more.

Hints for Light Housekeeping

Suffer a homely hint or two to those who practice the mode of life we know as light housekeeping. box foot and a half or two feet square makes a first class ironing board. Put 1t, bottom side up, upon your bed, and your clothing or napery is high and safe from floor dust and your back is saved many an ache. 1 use clean newspapers when no ironing pad is at hand. The newspapers do not soil the freshly ironed clothes. Two sheets of newspaper make q good iron holder and do not need washing. A recipe for fruit sandwiches: Fresh fruit or stewed, spread between slices of but tered bread, and sugared to taste, are nice, either for home luncheons or to take to ones work in the morning.

IT'S A MISTAKE
Made by Many Barre Residents

Many people in misguided
effort to get rid of kidney back
ache, rely on plasters, liniments
and other makeshifts. The right
treatment is kidney treatment,
and a remarkably recommended
kidney medicine is Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Barre is no exception.
The proof is at your very door.
The following is an experience
typical of the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills in Barre.
Mrs. May Bond, So Elm street,
Barre, VT, says: "Doan's Kid
ney Pills were first brought to
my attention when / read in the
local paper how citizens of Barre
had been cured of kidney trou-
BILE by them. At the time | had
sharp twinges of pain across the
small of my back. | knew that
these were caused by weak kid
neys, so | got Doan's Kidney
Pills and used them as directed.
From the first they did me good
and soon | was cured"
