PROSPECTS BRIGHTEN.

"I was surprised today, Hope, for good things seem to be coming our way. Ben Haskins, the merchant, met me and says: sHez, how would you like to drive our motor delivery wag- cnc want a dependable man like you
 If I knew how to run it I should like to work for you, MT. Hasklns, says I "but I don't know any more about running a motor wagon than a kid"
 "'You can learn, can't you said he. I'll give you ST a week and all your groceries at cost, and see you are taught how to run it if you will accept the place.
 T told him could learn, and I will, and do you know I feel scared now when I think of it." said Hope. DC you know how he came to want to help you?"
 "He said he wanted man too old to go to war and just patriotic enough to let his money fight for him and Un- c.e Sam. I hear you invested in Lib erty bonds. I hope you'll buy more!'
 You'll be able to pay for the first bond and buy more if we get on that footing" said Hope.
 There's nothing like having faith in yourself" said Ben Haskins "and daring to shoulder responsibility and he a man.
 Hope. I could seem to feel myself grew in his presence. Deemed if I didn't seem to be swelling right up. I'm going to drive that buZZ-wa gon as sure as you live.'

A FEW SUGGESTIONS.

Dear Social Corner Friends:-You don't know fhow much help I get from the Social Corner and what a disappointment when Saturdays paper fails to arrive on time, as was the case lase week. When we hear and read so much of the war and terrible accidents happening all ar3und us 1t IS such a relief to turn our thoughts for little while in another direction.
 |. And in thinking of the war wonder if any of the Social Corner Sisters are guilty of making it harder for the boys to leave home A cloud is hanging over us a1l-for we all have some one who is dear to us who is waiting Tor the call. and we know some of the but can we not help to make it easier for them and ourselves by being just as cherry and brave as possible! God bless and keep the boys. g
 I will add few suggestions for the sick room:
 Use the daintiest dishes in the house Place a clean napkin on the trays4 and <e, possible. fresh flower. <
 Serve everything in small quantities, appetite. @s6 45 3.s-sr.5

A LETTER FROM SOMEWHERE IN
 kEs FRANCE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: As mothers some of you may be anxious ly awaiting a letter from Somewhere in France and wonder why it doesn't come speedily.
 Letters from France have to be cen sored: and the letters come slow for under present circumstances letters come slow from lover there"
 This is what one mother says of her
 My first letter from somewhere in France" arrived today after a journey of thirty-one days
 And could you but see that sadly mutilated gem of literaturel Wild sweeps of green ink deftly obliterate choice bits. right in the middle of originally perfect sentences. A huge paster on the envelope, Opened by Censor" tells the tale. Of course am righteously indignant, so, to get even, I make my weekly donations re- semble young newspapers. Those lat ter named gems have gone, reg ularly. from the day ''rae mon'' sailed 'Tis the only way he can. know am rot tired writing to him"
 A waiting Sister writes: I have a. brother somewhere in France" too, and since he left America somewhat more than two months ago I have not heard a word from him. Before he left he was very regular in his letters have repeatedly written him, as well as sent him packages and papers,"
 Anxious parents and wives and true loves have to abide in patience for the letter which is slow but will surely come.

THE MONTHLY WINTER MEET

Dear. Social Cornerites:-we are all looking forward to our monthly gath erings at w. c. T. U. hall in Willfz mantle.
 We enjoy the social times and the delicious lunches so much: but | have been thinking it seems almost selfish fo1 us in the present hard timeu v at to share our good things with others who are less fortunate than our selves. t~s' ! 2.
 Tidy Addly started a project last winter which was. a decided success, and was voted an annual af-&~.,s We hope to do as much for the needy this year. HE ::
 Last summer some of our good townspeople gave the children a great treat: an automobile ride to the lake with boating. bathing and pi@ ic lunch. The hard working mothers have few diversions.
 Now how would it do, perhaps twice through the winter for each one to bring, send. just much and just as good as for our own gatherings. prepare the tables just as attractaa9 as possible, then instead of ourselves enjoying the good things. invite in a limited number of those who perhaps

THANKSGIVING DISHES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: There are few American homes in which Thanksgiving is not observed.
 Table decoration and menus are the two problems which seem to perplex US. We do not require elaborate dec crations for Thanksgiving day, for it is more like harvest festival. A very unique centerpiece can be ar ranged by carefully grouping candy and nuts. Take an Is inch square of cardboard and arrange it in the cen ter of the table, then sprinkle with cocoa to look like dirt; make a log cabin of wood licorice and trees of sprays of celery; then wall around the house of English or plain walnuts; make a chimney of small red candy.
 The potato on the plate may be in the form of a turkey; use black beans for eyes. This is rather cute.
 These are good Thanksgiving dishes:
 Peel and core four large apples Spitzbergen preferred. Then put butter a large baking dish and place :n a layer of uncooked rice and then a layer of apple, salt and pepper and little dots of butter; then layer of and a layer of macaroni, and so re- reat until your baking dish is filled. Pour in one quart of milk, place bread crumbs on top and melted butter; bake one hour. This is not a meatless dish for it has a littls meat. You can make a white cream gravy.
 Apple Soup or Apple Crowdie-Take three tart apples and boil in two pints of water, one cup oatmeal, drain; add ere cup of cree m, one tablespoon of butter, one teaspoon flour and a little pimento with celery leaves (dried). If you haven't cream, milk with but- ter melted is very nice. Heat and serve hot with Royal lunch or toasted bread.
 Apple Rread-One and one-half cups apple sauce, one teaspoon salt,s one ta espoon baking powder, one teaspoon soda, a cup of white flour, one cup In dian meal; turn apple sauce into bowl .nd sweeten to taste: then add salt Next add flour and Indian meal and baking powder; mix; turn into a we'll buttered dish or pail and boil gently for three hours.
 Apple Pot au Freu-Cut up four ap- pies, put through chopper; while fix ing this put two pounds of fresh pork on to boil; skim 1t we'll when boiled F minutes; put in with it a hve-cent cabbage (new' if you can get it) and when both meat and cabbage are boil about 15 minutes. Then take your meat out and serve meat with the cabbage and apple; salt mad pep per the apple and dot little tiny bits t.f butter. Save liquor to make soup.
 Apple Sandwiehes-Take one hard boiled egg. one-fourth pound of cheese, one half teaspoon salt, one-half tea spoon of pepper or pfmento, one ta- blespoon melted butter and one large apple grated; mash the yolk of an egg in a bowl; put in the butter, mix 1t with spoon. then add salt pepper, mus tard and cheese, mixing well: then put in tablespoon of water. If the ap- pie is juicy you will not need water. for sandwiches.

FOOD PROBLEM.
Sins and Commandments.

Sir Arthur Yapp, Director General Of British Food Economy, defined in an interview with The London Ob- server recently ten deadly sins against reSs upon the country the imperative necessity of obeying ten command ments if the campaign and the scheme of voluntary ratiOning are to succeed.
 The Ten Sins.
 To waste food of any description.
 2-To hoard foodstuffs.
 3-TO be extravagant in food. Re- member there is war on, and it is should not be the only ones to make Sa crificeS.
 4-To make unlawful profits out of the peoples food.
 5-To forget the risks run by our sailors By strict economy in food cargo.
 C-To eat the usual supply of ham or bacon wh4> others who need it more have to do without.
 TO eat more than the rationed quantity of meat or to excuse oneself ty saving that others are failing to play the game.
 s-To eat more bread because the rrice of the loaf has been lowered to meet the needs of the poor, to whom tt is still the staff of life.'
 a-To be lavish in the use of tea butter eggs, milk, cheese, sugar, or drink of any kind. The open sugar bowl should be banished from every table, and tea should be taken only once a day.
 10-To waste anything that may mean tonnage.
 Ten Commandments.
 1-rake care of your food. . z-Cook it properly and divide it equitably.
 3-Live well within your rationed allowance. Many of us can eat a lit tie less and be none the wHr7a for it. 4-Set an example in all matters of food economy.
 5-Ration yourself rather than wait to be rationed by the state.
 6-Watch the kitchen.
 Eat potatoes instead of bread.
 S-Do your bit-the men at the front are doing theirs-and help to win the war by practising economy.
 9-Save money in food and invest it in War Savings, and thus help both your country and your family.
 10-Work for national economy and toiE the League for National Safety immediately the scheme is launched.

THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED.

Dear Sisters of the Social Corner: This Knowledge is of daily use in the kitchen:
 When making tea better results will be obtained if fresh, bubbling. boiling water is used.
 Custards cook evenly and are less liable to become watery when baked in cuI8 set in 8 pan of water.
 Remember to serve hot dishes steaming and directly upon remov- ing from the fire. Otherwise the food loses that delicious piquancy. Cold dishes should be chilled thoroughly, not insipidly cool.
 While cooking vegetables. fruits, meats. etc, should they catch on the bottom of the pot. quickly set the pot or boiler in cold water. Then remove carefully all the food except that which sticks to the bottom of the pan. This will prevent the unpleas- ant scorched flavor penetrating the food.
 If your sink gets stopped up or runs off too slowly, use lye or cop peras to better conditions. A strong solution of sal-soda should be poured down a sink once in a while and the water allowed to run for some time afterwards.

recting their children the result would be more effective and lasting.
 So much slang is being spoken and read at the present time, that many yreople of all ages acquire the use of IT. unconsciously, many times.
 If in each neighborhood there could he mutual benefit society formed ana each, one try to use correct lan- guage and be willing to be corrected We might then, in time. eliminate slang; but criticism is not often con ducive of good feeling.
 As one of the Sisters asked for a cookie recipe using sour cream, send ore which I have used for many years.
 Sour Cream Cookiea-One cup thick sour cream. one cup sugar, one tea spoon lemon extract, 1-2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon saleratus four enough to make them stiff enough to d1 op from the spoon and not fiatten oiIt when you drop them on the tin; but will fatten out when beginning to bake.
 some place a raisin in the center of each one and bake in a quick oven.
 There is so much difference in flour I cannot give an exact measure, but tliey want to be quite stiff or they will spread out too thin.
 Aunt Mary's Soft Gingerbread - Ore third cup of lard, fill the cup with boiling water, 1 cup of qolasses,. tea spoon of saleratus, stirred into the flour; 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and ginger and nearly three cups of flour. Bake in quick oven.r
 This helps out the scarcity of sugar.

HAVE YOU TRIED THESE?

Dear Sisters of the Corner: These good things are not generally known:
 Taffy Apples for the Children: Bell together a pound of granulated sugar and a gill of water. Do not stir it. When it becomes crisp test in cold tablespoon of lemon juice and place the vessel in which it has been boiled in another one of scalding water to keep 1t hot. Have the apples washed dried and pierced with a thin skewer Dip quickly into the hot syrup, turn ing them that they may be we'll coat ed Place on waxed paper to dry.
 Filling for Sandwiches A fruit fll- ing would be nice between thin slices of your whole wheat bread: Chop dates fine and moisten with orange juice. Mix we'll and spread. For slices of rye bread you could make a sardine filling; chop sardines fine and add little lemon juice. bit of butter and a sprinkle of Worcester shire sauce. I should serve coffee with these sandwiches.
 Fruit Puffs: Four level tablespoons butter, two level tablespoons sugar, one egg, one cup flour. two level teaspoons one-third cup of entrants, one level tablespoon figs cut fine, one level ta- biespocn chopped dates, one level ta- biespoon chopped nut meats, one-half a teaspoon lemon extract. one-half a teaspoon vanilla. Mix the sugar, flour, and nuts. Beat the egg, add the milk, vanilla and lemon. Add this to the dry ingredients. Beat two minutes add the melted butter. Pour into we'll buttered custard cups filling one third full. Bake in a moderate oven for 20 minutes. Serve warm with pudding sauce.

WAYS OF MAKING CAKE.

Dear Social Corner Sisters There are five principal ways of making cake:
 The first method, used for plain ing into the flour the same way as for short pastry; then the dry ingredients such as sugar, fruit and spice are ada ed, and lastly the eggs and milk. Then all are mixed we'll together.
 The second way is used for fruit pound and seed cakes. The shortening and eggs are creamed together, the eggs beaten in one at a time, and the fruit and flour stirred lightly and quickly at the last.
 In the third way the eggs and sugar are beaten together until thick and creamy, then the flour is stirred in lightly and quickly. This is used chief " for sponge cakes and cakes of that
 For the fourth way the sugar short ering, milk and syrup or molasses are melted together, then cooled slightly and added to the dry ingredients This method is used for gingerbreads.
 In the fifth way the sugar and eggs are beaten thoroughly over boiling water, then cooled before the melted shortening and dry ingredients are added. This method is used for Gen noise cake and some kinds of layer cakes.
 = Care must be taken to insure the right consistency of cakes. The mix ture should be fairly stiff. If too moist the fruit will sink to the bottom.
 For rich cakes the tins should be lined with paper, the paper coming short distance above the tins, so that the cake is protected as it I1ses. For very rich fruit cakes, experience has shown that it is best not to grease tie paper or tin. The cake is not so liable to burn, and the paper can be removed easily when the cake is done without injuring it.
 On the other hand, if tins are lined for sponge cakes or jelly rolls, the raper should be greased
