FOR BREAKFAST TABLE
MUFFINs ALWAYS APPETIzINc
ON COOL MORNINGS.
Have First Place In Long List of Hot
Breads That Have Found Favor
English Buns Are Liked
by Many.

When the air gets frosty. mullins
mount high pedestal in the estima-
ton of breakfasters, and there they
stay until spring. Here are some
recipes for good mullins:
Rub tablespoonful OF butter in a
cupful Of corn meal and a cupful OF
white wheat -four for delicious corn
mullins. Then add a teaspoonful Of
sugar, half a teaspoonful of salt and
I teaspoonful of baking powder. Break
an egg into three-quarters of cupful
OF milk, and then fill the cup with
milk If necessary to make it full Pour
this into the flour and mix it thor
oughly. Bake quickly in a hot oven
Make rye puffs in this way: Mix
two-thirds of a cupful of rye meal
and a third Of cupful of white wheat
flour. Add a quarter of a teaspoon
ful Of salt and sift Then add two
well beaten eggs mixed with a cupful
of milk, and beat for three minutes.
Add two teaspoonfuls of butter, melt
ed, and mix. Bake in hot muffin tins.
Here is recipe for graham mullins
that always turns out well: Mix cup
full of graham flour and the same
amount of wheat -four with a quarter
of cupful of salt. Sift them and
add cupful of milk, a tablespoonful
of butter and one egg. Beat well and
bake for about twenty-five minutes in
hot oven.
These English buns are a favorite
with those who like slightly sweet
breakfast breads. To make them rub
half cupful of butter with three
tablespoonfuls of sugar and a pinch
of salt. Add two well beaten eggs and
then add, alternately. two cupfuls Of
flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder and milk to make
stiff dough. Add at the same time half
cupful of currants. Roll out about
an inch thick, cut with biscuit cut
ter and bake in slow oven.
Sally Lunn is a tempting muffin Sift
pint of -four. two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder and half teaspoonful
of salt and ad half a cupful of milk,
half E. cupful of melted butter and
two beaten egg yolks. Mix thoroughly.
Then add two egg whites beaten stiff.
Drop the butter in muffin tins and
bake. 1t is a stiff batter and when the
egg whites are folded in they do not
mix completely with the other ingredi-
ents, and so the tops of the mullins
are somewhat irregular.
Oatmeal mullins require fine meal,
not the coarse sort used as cereal.
Mix cupful of it with three cupfuls
of white wheat flour, two teaspoonfuls
of baking powder and a liberal tea
spoonful of salt. Rub in a tablespoon
full and a half of butter and lard
mixed. Beat two eggs and add them
to a pint Of milk and pour this grad
ually into the dry ingredients. Mix
thoroughly and bake quickly in a hot
oven in muffin tins.

WEN. WITH ALARM
Democrats Recognizing BIunders
of Party.
Men Like Thomas Taggart of Indiana
Are Beginning to See the Light
Appeal for More Con-
structive Attitude.

An interview with Mr. Thomas Tag
CART is suggestive in several directions
and In none more strikingly than in
that Of national politics.
Mr. Taggart's immediate purpose is
to invite attention to the important
bearing of railway prosperity to the
welfare of all the rest OF US; but be-
tween the lines one may read, without
violence to the context, a subtle ap-
peal to the Democratic party for
more sensible and constructive atti-
tude toward business, big and little.
The truth is that the Democratic
party, under the guise of so-calied
"progressivism" or forward looking"
is rapidly approaching the lamentable
situation in which it labored for long
years, beginning with 1896, when
every man who had dollar hoped for
continued Republican ascendancy.
Men of property and influence, like
Taggart and many other Democrats
who could readily be named by any
one. are becoming alarmed.
This apprehension is not restricted

sibility as citizens and business men
for the commercial and industrial well
fare of the whole people, themselves
included. What is it going to profit
Democrats Of property and standing
In the community if they assist the
Democratic party into power only to
inJure and perhaps destroy their own
and their neighbors' prosperity?
For the Democratic party, in state
or nation, to assume the friendly atti-
tude toward business indicated in Mr..
Taggart's argument for increased pas
senger fares might bring down upon
1t the objurgations of the destructive
agitators of which the party always
mas so large and varied an assert
ment; but 1t might tend to avert for a
time the disaster which seems certain
to overwhelm it unless something hap
pens to abate the present deplorable
condition of business, borne down as
1t is by decreasing incomes and con-
stantly increasing toll in taxes levied
by state, national and local govern.
