CHILDRENS PULPIT
Growing Some Flowers

One autumn day, as Mrs. McIn-
tyre was gathering her flower seeds,
Ruth, her eight-year-old daughter,
and Ralph, a younger brother, resolv-
ed that they, too, would have a flower
bed and grow some flowers the next
season, all their own. With their
permission they spaded up a little
spot out near the end of the walk. In
this they carefully planted some
pansy roots. Day after day they
cared for them. And os soon as the
winter cold began to approach, they
gathered leaves and scattered them
softly over the bed. They then plac-
ed old sacks over the leaves lest the
wind should blow them away and kill
the plants.
Many time during the cold winter
weeks, when all nature seemed to be
dead, they wondered if their plants
were really only sleeping, or were
until the sun drew nearer and again
to uncover the tender roots. They
asked themselves: "Will the plants
really grow again? If so, what one
will be the first to blossom?"
At last, after patiently waiting
through the long winter, spring came
on, and the children carefully re-
moved the leaves. They had guarded
the precious roots well against the
cold and kept them alive. Soon the
soft, gentle rains began to fall. The
sun became warmer and warmer. The
children were delighted as they MOTTO
ed their plants taking on richer
green near the top of the ground.
They could hardly contain themsel-

God to grow. Best Of all they were

rubbed the bars down and escaped
from her lot. She walked aimlessly
across the yard, and, alasl stepped
squarely upon the beautiful flower,
utterly crushing it into the earth. OF
course she didn't mean TO do it, but
neither did she mean not to do il. In
her awkward Guinness she did not
care what she did. So in one moment
a thoughtless COW destroyed the flow
err that had taken God and the chill
dren months TO grow
But so it is all through life. The
pansy reminds us of the flowers of
love in the little garden of our hearts.
1t takes long, patient care and plan
ming, together with the help of God,
to grow one Of these flowers of love.
But any one can destroy them. Some
Of US are like old Brindle, awkward,
careless and thoughtless. Often by
one mean word or awkward deed we
utterly destroy the flowers of patient
love which meant so much to some one
else.

MANY a Mickle Makes a Muckle.
One-Half Cup of Milk

Half cup of mflk-whole, skim
med, or sour-a seemingly trifing
matter-hardly worth the trouble to
keep or use.
In many Households quite little
milk is wasted-left uncovered in
glasses-regarded as useless because
the cream has been SKINNED off-al-
lowed to sour-poured down the sink
or thrown out.
Now, if every home-there are TO-
100000 of them-should waste on the
average of one-half cup daily, it
would mean a waste of 100000
quarts daily-912, 100000 quarts a
year-the total product of more than
400,000 cows.
1t takes lot of grass and grain to
make that much milk-and an army
of people to produce and deliver it.
But, every household doesn't waste
half cup of milk day? Well, say
that one-half cup is wasted in only
one out of hundred homes. Still in
tolerable-when milk is so nutritious
when skim milk can be used In
making nutritious soups and cereal
dishes-when sour milk can be used
in making bread or for cottage cheese
The United States Department OF
Agriculture, Washington, ID. c., or
your state agricultural college will
tell you how to use leftover milk
sweet, SKINNED, or sour.

WOMAN AND HOME
Homemade Bread

By the home baking of bread-the
largest single item in the diet in al
most every ousehold-housewive
should be able in many cases to re-
duce expenditures for food, say spec
ialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. The making of
this important food in the home is a
relatively simple process, the special
lists point out. Even housewives not
accustomed to home baking should be
able to produce satisfactory results by
using the following simple recipes of
the department:
White Wheat Bread-Short Process
For one loaf of bread pour one cup
of boiling water, scalded milk, or
mixture of the two, into a mixing
bowl over one teaspoonful sugar, and
one tablespoonful lard or other fat,
if fat is desired. Allow the mixture
to cool until it is lukewarm. Mix one
half cake compressed yeast with a
little of the lukewarm liquid and pour
it into the other mixture. If liquid
yeast is substituted for the compress
ed sort, the ingredients should con-
sist of one-fourth cup of yeast, three
fourths cup milk, water, or milk and
water mixture, and the quantities of
the other substances already men
toned.
If convenient, set the mixture of
yeast, liquid, salt, sugar, and fat
aside in warm place, not over Sc
degrees F., for an hour before adding
the flour. If not convenient to set
the mixture aside, add the flour at
once, putting in little at time and
kneading until the dough is Of such
consistency that it sticks neither to
the bowl nor TO the hands. This re-
quires about ten minutes. After the
flour is added, cover and allow to rise
one and quarters hours at
temperature of sc degrees; it may be
better to set it at lower tempera-
ture, but the lower the temperature
the longer the time required for the
rising. Cut down the dough from the
sides of the bowl; grease the hands
slightly. Knead little and set aside
to rise again for one hour. With a
good bread flour the dough should
treble its bulk in each rising. With
a soft wheat flour it should not rise
much beyond twice its volume. Divide
into portions, mold, and place in
CREASED pans of standard size Zone
and one-half quarts). Allow to rise
until light touch will make slight
dent With good bread -four this
happens when the dough reaches the
top of the pans. Bake fifty minutes.

Oyernight SPONGE Method

Use the same proportions as for
the short process, except in the case
of the yeast, which should be one
eighth cake of compressed yeast or
two tablespoonfuls of liquid yeast for
each loaf. Use water rather than
milk. In the evening mix the yeast
with water, salt, and half of the flour,
and beat thoroughly. Cover and place
at temperature Of So degrees to
seventy degrees F., or that of an or
binary room. In the morning add the
sugar and the rest of the flour and
proceed as in the case of the short
process.
Belding banner. (Belding, Mich.) 1889-1918, 1917-06-20
Whole Wheat or Graham Bread

One and one-half cups lukewarm
milk; three tablespoonfuls brown SUI
gar; one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls
salt; three cups whole-wheat or gra-
ham flour; one-half yeast cake.
Scald the milk, together with the
sugar and salt. When lukewarm,
add the yeast, mixing it first with a
little of the milk. Add the flour, beat
well, and let it double its volume.
Beat it thoroughly, put into a pan,
and let it rise. In a pan of standard
size it should come nearly to the top.
The above recipe may be used in
preparing bread from homemade
meal. There are many households,
particularly in the country, where
clean whole wheat can be obtained at
moderate cost. If ground in the or
binary coffee mill, such wheat makes
coarse bread, not very light in tex
ture, but of such good flavor that it
may well be used occasionally to give
variety to the diet. 1t is useful, too,
in places where good bran can not be
obtained easily and where coarse
breads are desired as a means of pre-
venting constipation.
In making such bread with a view
to economy the housekeeper should

including labor and fuel, as compared
with other breads she makes. Skim
milk instead of whole milk can be US
ed; homemade yeast, either liquid or
dry cakes, is a possibility, and some
might like the bread with less sugar
or unsweetened. Another recipe which
has been worked out follows:
Home Ground Wheat Bread
One and one-fourth cups water or
skim milk; one and one-fourth tea
spoonfuls salt; one tablespoonful SUI
gar; three cups home-ground wheat
-four; one-half cake dry yeast or one
gill of liquid yeast.
Set a sponge at night, using half
ofthe flour. In the morning add the
rest of the flour, beat well, put into
creased pan, allow to rise until it
doubles its bulk, and bake. (For par
ticulars as to setting the sponge, ETC.,
see directions for making wheat
bread.)

Cheerfulness

Cheerfulness makes life worth liv-
ing-work worth while-makes you a
joy to your friends, and an influence
for the better to all with whom you
come in contact.
Cultivate cheerfulness. Be build
er. Dispense sunshine-it makes
things grow. 1t indicates a healthy
mind and healthy body. All of us
have difficulties. They are divided
into two classes-real and imaginary.
Your station in life does not matter.
Face them cheerfully, you are bound
to win. The imaginary ones fade
away-the real ones are surmounted.
If conditions are not what they
should be, you must do one of three
things-alter conditions; leave condi-
tions; or rise above them. Whether
you teach school or work in store or
in an office, remember it is not a
crime to smile or be CHEEKY over your
work.

Short Snonre Method

The short sponge method requires
setting for considerable period. All
mixture m which is called a sponge
is so light that it will fall at the
slightest touch, the rest of the -four
should be added.

Mixed Wheat Flour Breads

Mixed Wheat Flour Breads
The recipes given above for white
bread can be followed in making
bread out of part graham and part
white flour. The usual proportions
are either one part of graham to two
parts of white, or half graham and
half white. In all cases, however,
white flour should be used for max
ing the sponge. In place of the SUI
gar an equal amount of molasses may
be used. Such bread will not rise
quite as much as bread made with
white flour only.

Rice Bread


mixture of teh two; one cup uncooked
rice; one and one-fourth teaspoonfuls
salt; one tablespoonful sugar; butter
(if used), one tablespoonful or less;
one-haf cake compressed yeast; two
cups wheat flour.
Steam the rice with one-half of the
liquid until it is soft. This is done
better in steamer than in a double
boiler, for the liquid is so small in
amount that the rice does not become
soft readily and the presence Of the
steam helps. Put the sugar, salt, and
fat (if used). into the mixing bowl
and pour over them the remaining
liquid (one-half cupfuD. When the
mixture has become lukewarm add the
yeast and one-half cupful of flour.
Allow this sponge to rise until very
light. Add the boiled rice, which
should have been cooled until luke
warm, and the rest of the flour. This
dough is so thick that some pressure
is required to work in the last por-
tions of the flour. Allow the dough
to rise until it has doubled its bulk,
form into loaf, place in a pan of
standard size, allow it to rise until
it nearly reaches the top of the pan,
and bake.
