of milk, fourth of cupful of corn
meal and a half teaspoonful of salt
in double boiler until the milk and
menl has made a thick mixture. Cool
and stir in two well-beaten eggs.
Grease the gem pan well, allowing to
each pan a teaspoonful of the fat
from the roast. Bake in n moderate
oven, basting occasionally with the fat
from the roast.

Ins, dates or figs, and dry in slow
oven. This softens the fruit and drys
It on the outside. Add to the hct

There Is no limit to the amount of
cheese to be added and it needs no
butter or cream to season it.
6uttermiIk cornmeal Mush.-White

Early In the battle of Menin road.
In Flanders. n British observation bal
loon and Its observer got into serious
difficulties. The observer. to escape
injury. chanced his life In the para
chute. This British official photograph
shows how the parachute carried him
to safety in n tree-top. The observer
let himself down from his precarIous
position by means of the parachute
ropes, which enabled him to reach an
other truncated tree.

fed and happy. The average Ameri-
can breakfast is n simple one, which
is sensible. as few people are hungry
in the morning and hearty breakfast
is unwise. 1t is better far to par
take of meal that has not overtaxed
the cook to prepare or the individual
to digest. "No dinner however beau
tifully cooked and served, no fine raj
ment however costly and becoming,
can ever atone, in the memory of man,
for the wild and untamed morning
which so often prevails in the Amer
ican household" says Olive Green.
The right kind of breakfast begins the
day before as all good meals do.
Corn meal mush fried in little fat
is going to be very popular among our
patriotic families, 1t is most nourlsh-
ing, and will take the place of bread
In large measure. BY adding chop
ned meat to the mush before
molding tito cut in slices, it becomes
still more valuable as food.
There is no reason that the morn
ing meal should not be varied in its
menu, as there are countless ways of
serving the common things in uncom-
mon ways. A hot bread will take the
place of the toast. waffles and griddle
cakes are digested by the active child
as well as the older person, but are
not wholesome for those who take lit
tie exercise. When one feels slug
gish and stupid an hour or two after
eating breakfast it is advisable to
eliminate the offending food. There
are those who insist upon meat and
potatoes for breakfast, and If the fam
lily are active enough to digest such
food well, there should be no reason to
change the habit, although we all
know that meat once day is plenty
for health, and we will be richer in
purse as well as health TO eat less Of
the more expensive protein foods.
As most people enjoy and are able
to digest fruit well, dish of season.
able fruit is always a good beginning.
A bit of bacon as an appetizer. and

when it goes into the oven, giving 1t
more opportunity for expansion. In
making pastry use six tablespoonfuls
of lard to a cupful and a half of flour,
Il half teaspoonful of salt, and just
enough cold water to handle and roll.
If the fat is cut in with two case
knives instead of being rubbed in with
the fingers, the pastry will be more
flaky.
Sour Cream Pie.-Mix together one
cupful of sugar, one cupful of chopped
raisins, c=e cupful of sour cream, and
one egg well beaten, one-half tea
spoonful each of cinnamon. nutmeg,
and salt, one-fourth of teaspoonful
of cloves and a teaspoonful of vine
gar. Bake this filling In two crusts.
Pecan Pie-Cook in a double boiler
one cupful of milk, and a cupful of
sugar. Thicken with one tablespoon
full of aour and the yolks of two
eggs, add the juice of lemon. Bake
n crust as for lemon pie, and when
done fill with custard, adding a half
cupful of pecan nut meats. Cover with
a meringue, using the whites of the
eggs and brown in a moderate oven.
Apple Custard Pie.-Add n cupful
of sugar to a cupful Of grated apple.
two well-beaten eggs, one cupful of
sweet cream, and the grated rind of
a lemon. Pour Into a pastry-llned tin
and bake.
Date and Apple Pie.-Llne n pie

mixture of chopped dates and tart
apples. Sprinkle over the fruit three
fourths of cupfnl of sugar. a tea

bits Of butter and cover with an up
