Milk Yeast Bread.

The Helping Hand reaches so many forlorn ones. and it is grand thing to feel we can relieve and cheer those In dis tress. The thought expressed by the mes IT you have kindness shown you, pass 1t on. has always seemed to me Christlike. I wonder If you care to print this recipe for an old fashioned milk yeast bread In the middle of the morning take one pint of corn meal. one teaspoon of salt, and one tablespoon of sugar. Sift them and pour enough hot mot boilingl water on the mixture to wet 1t; put into an earthern vessel until the next morn ing. Then add q quarter spoon of soda, one pint of scalded sweet milk, and flour enough for stiff battsr. Put into a pitcher placed In bucket of water as hot as you can bear your hand in and keep at that temperature, In three or four hours the contents of the pitcher will be foamy Mix with spoonful of lard and flour sufficient to make medium dough: knead well, shape into loaves. and when risen, bake. This Will take three quarters of an hour or an hour. This bread Is easy to make4and Is delicious when done properly. M. B."
 Good and trustworthy recipes for bread arc always in demand. and am sure thls will be gratefully accepted and tried by our housekeepers.

Rolled Oats Cookics.

|" think the Helping Hand is wonder ful. I read it before I look at the rest of the paper. Several months ago an excel lent recipe was printed for cream cookies. I tried it and found the cookies delicious. But l mislaid the paper before copying the recipe. Will it be possible for me to get another copy of it now? I am sending a favorite recipe of mine for rolled oats cookies One cup of granulated sugar. one cup of butter, two eggs, one teaspoon of baking soda, two cups of rolled oats. two cups of flour. one cup of chopped raisins, and two-thirds cup of nut meats, Mix well and drop by the spoonful In buttered pan. Bake in a moderate oven.
 M. o. B."
 l am afraid there is no way of tracing the recipe you wish since you do not know the name of the correspondent who sent it in. I hope that printing your request may call forth an answer from some one who has saved the recipe. Thank you for the directions for the rolled oats cookies and also for the stamps you were kind enough to send. All contributions of th.s sort help along, since many of our corre. spondents write letters which must be answered and do not inclcse postage.
