Parents Warning
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
! wish you would print this let
ter as a warning to parents not to
let their boys go out on the farm.
My boy, about Is years old,
wanted to get out to earn some
money during vacation. He saw
an ad in one of the Tacoma papers
for boy wanted on the farm and
answered 1t.
A man came up to the house
and made a bargain with the boys
mother to pay the boy $40 a
month and offered to pay his fare
out, about 81 miles.
He claimed to be in such a
hurry to get the train that he
couldn't have the time to stop
where / was working and get any
money, so consequently he went
without any. Now we get letter
saying they refused to pay him
more than $12 and he left there
last Monday morning without any
money to pay for anything and
is somewhere between there and
Tacoma without any means of get
ting anything to eat.
His mother is worried so she
Is almost sick. Now, while !
think that we as a nation should
raise as much as possible, there
should be some punishment for
such low down people as that.

Brown Bread
ITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
Now that it has become pat
riotic duty in providing for our
most precious possessions, our
soldier and sailor boys, and our
allies. to limit our consumption
of wheat. let us turn for mo-
ment our attention to maize or
Indian corn.
We have in Tacoma many ladies
from New England, outside OF
Boston. If one or more of those
ladies will search her memory or
her recipes for New England baked
beans and brown bread. which is
a very different thing from the
well-known Boston beans and
brown bread, and will send a
recipe to The Times, she will not
only perform patriotic act, but
will gladden. many homes.
The beans were first parboiled,
then baked. The brown bread
was baked to a hard and thick
outer crust, and was made from a
mixture of rye meal and corn
meal, one part rye to three or four
parts of corn. The combination
makes a delicious breakfast. Nc
one has ever eaten toast raised to
the nth degree of excellence, who
has never eaten toast made from
this bread.
