Mixing Batters.

In mixing the various cake and waffle
batters the greatest difficulty that most
inexperienced housewives find is thai
they get the mixture lumpy. This is
nearly always caused by adding the
liquid first and then the flour; when the
right way is TO put the given amount
of flour into a mixing bowl and then
the liquid by degrees. as a batter made
in this way should never lump and
may be easily thinned as desired.
In the following recipes tested Tor
mulas are given which insure success.

BILE prepared fiours on the market,
which require only the addition OF wa

are utilized. IA teaspoonful of molasses
and a heaping tablespoonful of melted
butter added to the batter Just before
baking will be found a decided I'M

AN INTERESTING STORY.

A young lady who was formerly a
resident of this town is row a stu
dent in New York. Among her fellow
students is young lady who has an
acquaintance, young lady also, in
Germany. Recently the young lady in
Germany wrote her New York friend
letter. In the letter she told of how
fine everything was there, how there
was an abundance of food and so on
and so on. Near the end of the letter
occurred this sentence: "You are a
stamp collector You would better
save the stamps on my letters, as the
German war stamps are apt to be val
liable some time" The New YorA
young lady, more to carry out the
suggestion of her German friend than
from any other motive, soaked the
envelope to get the stamp off. When
the stamp came off, she found writ
ten In the space covered by the stamp
these words: eve are practically
