How TO Bake Cookies Like Mother
Used to Make.

The secret OF making good cookies Is
to use just enough -four to roll them
without sticking. To do this take sew
eral thicknesses OF white muslin, or
part OF an old sheet folded TO ft the
board will do. Sprinkle with -four.
Take part OF the dough at time and
roll with light touch, never pressing
hard on cooky or doughnut dough.
Tho following recipe is at for a king:
cupful OF butter or mixed butter and
lard, one-half cupful OF sugar. three
good tablespoonfuls OF cold water, In
which dissolve level teaspoonful OF
soda; two eggs. two teaspoonfuls OF
baking powder. teaspoonful OF CHINA
mon, small teaspoonful OF cloves, a
cupful Of dates and nuts mot chopped,
but cut flne). Bake in quick oven not

Ridlnd N Horae.

Before you can ride horse you must
get on; many people have tried riding
first, but instead OF riding the animal
the animal has ridden them. Most sad
dies have a one rung ladder attached
Whether this Is a means OF mounting
or an easy method OF dislocating your
leg, there Il some dispute. The old
fashioned stepladder is good enough
for the author, but the last time, when
we had reached the top my horse had
left before schedule tinc. Now the
next point is how to start the animal;
most are self starters, and stopping Is
the all important thing. An easy and
simple method for starting is by the
use OF an icepick, hold IL aloft and
with downward stroke make contact
with the horse. This causes the pedes
equorum to vibrate; this either sets
you or on your journey or of of the
horse. Now. n possible, always go
with the horse; never argue. Going
ahead or behind the horse is no Joke
A method OF stopping which rarely
falls Is the following: Pick out n con-
venient preclpice. guide your animal
II 1t Is possible, toward the preciplce:
you now come to an abrupt stop at the
foot OF the precipice. A shovel Is An
elegant way OF arising. We have
known people who have never ridden
again after oEce stopping.--Princeto

Learned by Experience.

After ono OF the Indian reservations
had been opened the white community
was annoyed by tho promiscuous
swearing OF the noble red man, num-
bsrs OF whom seemed quite unaware
OF the strength OF their recently ac-
quired vocabulary. This condition be-
came so intolcrable that several ar
rests were made and Jail sentences i'm
posed. 1t was not long before the ma
tive sons OF America realized that
swearing In public was very bad
business, and they quit.

In case OF some Importance In the

WARS EFFECT ON RUGS.
How the Prios Of Beautiful Floor Gov
srlnss Has Risen.

Salu rug expert recently:
Il should say offhand that about 20
per cent OF the increase In rug prices Is
due to conditions In the dye trade. 40
per cent to the falling or In wool i'm
ports and 20 per cent to shortage Of
labor. The remaining Is per cent may
be accounted for by increased trans.
portation charges and by tho fact that
the rug manufacturers, owing TO the
nuctuating conditions, are inclined to
safeguard their own profits a little
more closely than before the war.
In general Ii Ia correct to say that
the price OF domestic rugs has ad.
vanced from % to As per cent over the
prices that were asked before the Eu-
ropean war began. Thus a Wilton that
could be bought for SEQ year and a
half ago must now sell at SIS; an AK.
minister or Brussels or velvet rug that
cost then $3.50 must now sell for S35
or $40 and Is expected to advance to
$40 In the near future.

CARE OF COMPLEXION.
Why Our Skins Arc Made Brown b,
tho Sun.


tho Sun.
That freckles are caused by the heat
from the sun seems to be an exploded
theory now. The light is given as the
cause, and In order to protect the skin
from the too strong rays the coloring
matter, or brown paint. as 1t were, alb.
serbs the suns rays to protect the thin
walled blood vessels so close to the
surface.
While sunlight Is very necessary,
only n certain degree OF 1t is good for
US. Beyond that It does us harm.
Some people can stand so much more
OF the SUMS rays than others without
browning. such as those who live I'm
the tropics. Their brown pigment pro-
tects their bodies. Many would rather
endure our northern winters than to
be brown as berries
Chiffon wells and other close filmy
materials should be worn during pro-
longed exposure TO the suns rays and
wind to preserve the complexion and
also save the trouble OF trying to get
rid OF the fr"ckles or tan.

Bread should not be oiled when put
In the pans. Fat when baked brings
out the defects In the bread. A hard
crust Is caused by the unequal distri-
button OF the fat when oiled.
"Souring OF bread Is caused by too
much carbon dioxide and too little
oxygen. This can be remedied by
thorough kneading. Large holes that
are often found can be worked out by
kneading. When rolling the bread to
put into the pans be sure to leave no
creases underneath the loaf, for these
will show when baked.
Bread Is scored I'm contests upon
