THINGS TO REMEMBER ABOUT
COOKIES

The softer cookies are mixed the
lighter and more moist they will
be.
To handle soft dough for rolling
and cutting, take only small
amount at time.
When very soft dough is to be
rolled and cut, always add ia little
baking powder to the flour used
ON the moulding board and the roll
ing pin, as the flour alone will
tougher the dough.
Z. To bake cookies always use a
shallow pan Or a cookie sheet, and
bake on the top CRATE in the oven.
Never try to bake cookies in. a
deep pan. The heat must get di-
rectly to the sides as we'll as the
top. If one does NOT have a shall
low pam or cooky sheet, turn a
dripping pam upside down and use
the bottom of it, Cookies should be
baked i'm a moderate oven.

this during the past year it is found
that a large amount of charity work

Sanitarium; SIS each has been contribut-
ed to the Howard Benevolent Union,
the district nurse and the county Anti
Tuberculosis work; considerable sew
ing has been done for the Augusta

aided in the Red Cross work
