TIMELY TESTED RECIPES.

Social Corner Sisters: To take the ink off flour bags: Wet and ruD scapine all over the marking, roll up and soak for twenty four hours, or longer won't hurt them. If you use 3 washing machine rub fifteen or twenty minutes Most likely they will be all clean, if not go over the same process. Some bags are very hard to whiten. But most of them will come out clean with one treatment With a. very poor quality of cotton selling at thirty five cents a yard consider them we'll worth fussing over
 Cake Without Sugar: One fourth cup shortening, two cups syrup, two eggs, two cups flour. two teaspoons haking powder, one-fourth teaspoon salt. Cream fat. add syrup. break in eggs, beat well. Add part of milk, Beat again and fold in -four, baking powder and salt. sifted twice, s-old in remainder of milk Bake as loaf or layer cake in moderate oven.
 Filling for Layer Cake; Two round- ing dessert spoons of condensed milk, two rounding dessert spoons of marsh nallow cream. Flavor with maple Mix over hot water. Can be used as icing also if cake is to be eaten while fresh.

coNsERvATIoN RECIPES.

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Since sugar is so scarce and sweets. are al most indispensable, I send you an old fashioned recipe for moIasses cookies which you do not need to roll out, thus conserving flour as welt as su- gar; also a good pickle.
 Moiasses Cookies: One cup of mo- lasses into which stir one tablespoon Of granulated. sugar, one-half cup of cod fat. lard. Criscc, nutbutter or but ter, either will do; but whichever shortening you wish to use, be sure ard use but one-half cup, Stir this in well. then adc one half cup of boil ing water, two teaspoons soda, one teaspoons of cinna mon, one-half tea spoon of ginger, one fourth teaspoon i of salt and two and one-falf cups of | four, or two cups of foua and three | fourths of a, cup of cornstsrch: Stir | so you can dip up and. put in the pan | tf4e size of silver dollar (nlake your mixture. so you can push it off with Q spoon). These are d delicious, eco Homical, molasses cookey.
 To Make Nice Pickles: Four quarts of small white onions, eight sweet. pep pers, two cups of sugar, one pint 0. strong vinegar, three pints of water enc tablespoon of tumeric powder, twc tablespoons mustard, four tablespoons cornstarch, one cup of salt, one table spoon of vinegar, two quarts water Pour boiling water on onions and nee them; then put them in salt. One cul of salt. two quarts of water. Let stand PA hours after onions have sIoo! ]:
 hours. Then put in peppers Gu around the top economically and wit scissors and cut them in sits I.e stand F hours in with the onions 1,a,
 and the onions have stood 2t hours
 put in the preserving kettle, cove
 with water and let come to boilln;
 point Boiling makes them tnushy nt
 spells them. Pour into a st1ainer an;
 let drain
 After draining wash thoroughly il
 cold water. Taste and see if to- salty. If they are put them in one
 half pint of vinegar and three pit of water and just heat up. fNow q
 not throw away that water and vine gar; put in a vinegar bottle and kee , it to make your Mayonnaiset.
 Mustard is made by taking mus tard, tumeric powder and eorastar re wet up with vinegar to make a slnoot , paste, then pour in one pint Of vine
 gar, three pints of water. Place owe fire and heat, then add two cups c ; sugar. If you don't like it quite a sweet add less sugar. Boil un.il l thickens; add peppers and onions. bu
 do not boil but just heat through thor , oughly; then put in cans aai seal : usually make two quarts at a time
 you can't get small onions use iars
 ones.
 Use this recipe the same manner 7 One quart of green tomatoes, on quart of small cucumbers, one qual = of sliced cucumbe one qu:irt of sma z onions, one caulifower, four pepper (sweet). Proceed same as with soI = Iler recipe.
 The secret of making these pickle | a success is in not letting them coo ! to pieces. You must watch them.

DID YOU KNOW.

Social Corner Sisters: Di1 you know if you added a little vanilla Or lemon to Karo corn syrup it improved it's flavor; and that if you plunge raisins first into boiling water for two or three minutes. then take them out of the water and stir thoroughly into the mixture, they will not settle; that when your apple pie juice commences to run out that you want to pour off the juice and put back the pie until it is done; that bright colcred win : dow shades that are slightly soiled, may be cleaned by rubbing lightly with a stale bread crust; that an oil- ed cloth usetl to dust stoves, will keep them black; a corn poppe~ which the handle has been removed makes an excellent drainer when irving doughtnuts; that bits of toilet soap may be. placed in the bath, thus using the odds and ends that would other wise clog the pipes and traps; that a milk bottle filled with sand makes a good door stopper; that in baking peanuts have a slow fire. and when making your peanut butter add few drops of oil and they will not stick when using the nut butter grinder. Save all your salt bags when canning by the cold pack method; slip every other jar in a bag.

THINGS TO EAT.

Dear Social Corner Friends: The following recipes may be new to some of you, and dependable for all:
 California Drops-One cup of sugar, one and one half tablespoons lard, one egg, one cup molasses, one cup sour milk, one teaspoon soda, in sour milk, one teaspoon cinnamon, some raisins cut in pieces and flour enough for a batter that can be dropped on a but tered tin or large pan.
