fine AT BREAKFAST
FOUR DISHES, ALL OF UNQUES.
TONED MERIT.
Require Care in Their Preparation and
Baking, but Are Well Worth the
Time and Trouble Devoted
to Them.

There are two tests to put to break.
fast breads. One Is put by the cook
and that has to do with the time and
trouble required in their preparation
The other has TO do with flavor and
texture, and that comes from those
who eat them.
Always let breakfast breads cool
slightly on a cloth or wire rack before
sending to the table. They will then
be more digestible and more easily han.
died than If sent to the table literally
piping hot.
Heat all muffin tins before putting in
the muffin mixture. The mullins rise
more thoroughly and more quickly
when put into hot tins. Remember
too, that most mullins need a quick
oven. Popovers need quick oven, but
they also need long and thorough cook
ing, and some popover cooks let them
stay in the oven 40 minutes.
Popovers.-Popovers, robbers caves
or wheat puffs, as they are variously
called, are not difficult to make. The
ingredients needed are two unbeaten
eggs, two cupfuls of milk and two cup
fuls Of -four. with a quarter of tea
spoonful OF salt. Beat all thoroughly
together until not lump remains and
then pour the mixture into very hot
muffin pans, well creased, filling them
about half full. Cook thoroughly, I'M
I'll hrnBnn to hn1laVry inside
and shows firm wall or crust.
Emergency Biscuit.-Make a good
baking powder biscuit dough and drop
it, by spoonfuls, into well-greased muf-
fin pans. These biscuits are crusty lit
tie things, especially delicious If you
have the continental habit Of serving
honey or jam at breakfast. A good
rule for the dough is this: Mix six even
teaspoonfuls Of baking powder and one
Of salt with three cupfuls of flour.
Sift all together three times and then
chop in, with a silver knife, six table
spoonfuls Of butter, lard or some other
shortening agent. Mix together quick
ly with a knife and add q cupful of
cold water. Mix lightly and then put
in the creased pans from spoon.
Rice Muffins.-Rice mullins are made
of one cupful of boiled rice, two eggs,
two cupfuls of -four, tablespoonful Of
melted butter, three cupfuls Of milk
and salt to taste. Mix the eggs, butter
and milk, slft -four and salt and add it
and the rice to the wet ingredients.
Bake the mullins quickly.
Rye Gems.-Rye is not in as general
use as corn and wheat and graham
-four. Rye gems and rye bread are
nourishing and economical and rye
gems made according to the following
rule are a good addition to any break
fast: Beat three eggs, three cupfuls
of milk. tablespoonful of sugar and
the same amount of butter, with three
cupfuls of rye -four. The secret of
making these mullins lies in beating
them hard and baking them quickly.

WHY rheumatism Comes
With Cold Weather

| is that people do not drin'- as much
water in cold weather as i'll summer,
which helps to flush the kidneys. Again,
they eat more meat in cold weather, and
some people are so susceptible that they
soon develop rheumatism after eating
meat.
At all such times persons should drink
copiously of hot water, say, pint
morning and night, and take Anuric
three or four times a day. This An
uric comes in tablet form and can be
had at almost any drug store. 1t dis
solves the uric acid in the system
and carries it outward. I would advise
everyone to take Anuric occasionally,
and continue for three or four weeks,
and in that way avoid rheumatism, govt
and many of the painful disorders due
to uric acid. ADV.

A close connection exists between
these two cold weather and rheu-
matism. Prof. Alex. Haig, of London,
has the most followers in the medical
profession in the belief that the pres
ence in the system of uric acid, or its
salts in excess, is the real cause of rheu-
matism. Everyone has recognized the
difference in the appearance of their
water as soon as it gets cold there is
often a copious sediment of brickdust.
Several causes may lead up to an
accumulation of uric acid in the system,
which, in turn, causes rheumatism or
govt, or creaky joints, or swollen fingers,
or painful joints. = For one reason the
skin does not throw off the uric acid, by
profuse sweating, as in the hot weather,
and the kidneys are unable to take care
of the double burden. Another reason
