Recipes for Criddle Cakes
Also CiUen, and Other
Quick Breads Much in
Demand
Mullins That Can Be Made
From a Drop Batter ana
Baked on the CridHe or
in Rings
By MRS. NJ. 4. WILSON

~ OVLf lDflt . fFf'F.bb 80 ~. - ''''
QUICK breads include griddle
Vcakes, wafies, mullins, Sally
Lunns, shortcakes and biscuits. These
doughs are made light or l%eavened
by the use of eggs, baking soda,
baking powder, steam created in
baking and by air beaten into the
mixture. Their entire success de-
ponds upon the careful measurement
of ingredients, the mixing and the
baking. Sift all flour once before
measuring and then fill the measur-
ing cup with a tablespoon. piling it
high; then level it, using the back
of a kitchen knife.
Griddle Cakes
Place the griddle on the range to
heat slowly, while mixing the bat
ter.
Place in a bowl or a fiat, wide
mouthed pitcher,
One cupful of milk,
One cuptm of -four.
One-qudrter teospoonful Of sait,'
TWo tedspoontaIs Of baking poe
der.
One tablespoonful of STRIP,
One cuptal OF milk.
Beat with a Dover egg-bcater to
mix to a smooth batter. This
amoun of batter will make hotcakes
for two people. For larger amounts,
multiply; one egg may be used for
every two cupfuls of flour.
Test the griddle by dropping a
few drops of water on it; if the
the water boils, the griddle is suf-
ficiently hot to bake with. Alumi-
mum griddles do not require any
grease. Rub with a clean cloth
dipped in salt. Grease iron griddles
slightly. Pour on the batter; just
as soon as the cakes are full of
air bubbles slip a cake-turner under
the cakes and turn them.
Now, if large bubbles rise at once
TO the top of the cakes, the griddlc
is too hot and the heat should be
reduced; while, if the cake s~tiffens
before the underside is brown, the
Sgriddle is not hot enough. Never
burn a griddle cake twice-this
makes them heavy. Serve them as
soc as baked, piling not more than
five or six together. Sour milk may
be used in place of sweet milk.
Discard the baking powder and use
one-half level teaspoonful of baking
soda for each cup of sour milk.
One egg and two cupfuls Of water
may be used in place of two cup
fuls of milk.
Wafles
Wafles are made from a thin bat
ter and are baked in a well heated
waffle iron. Many failures to make
good waffles are due to the fact
that the iron is not sufficiently hot.
The iron must he thoroughly clean
ed after each baking. Place the iron
On the range to heat. turning it
several times.
Try this method of grcasing the
iron; Purchase a large size sewing
machine oilcan and wash we'll in
plenty of hot water and soap, then
rinse thoroughly and dry. Now fill
with a good salad oil and when the
iron is heated, oil it on both sides
Now you are ready TO bake the waf.

How TO Meet Him

Dear Cynthia am II young girl six
teen years of age. Now there is a boy
t~Wcnty-three years of G who used TO
work at u place and he used TO firt
with me every time he would see me. al
though he never spoke to me lie is a
handsome chap and of course | liked
him. Now last week he left the place
and since then Il couple OF girls who
know him personally have seen him and
he was asking for me. and he says he
thinks / am a very nice girl and that
he would like TO get acquainted with
me.
Now, cynthia. he didn't ask tn" girls
70 introduce him to me and | Wouldn't
like - ask them TO introduce me To
him, so how are we TO get acquainted"
I am Just crazy about him. as he is just
the kind of n boy | wan Wont
YOU please give me advice oil this sub
iecc and / will thank o generously.
A LONlISlCK CHILD.
1t was a pity that you flirted, for
somehow | think the flirting could not
have been all on the young mans side.
Boys think so much more of girls
with whom they cannot nirt even
though they try TO make them. The
only way for YOU to get acquainted
would he through these mutual friends
of yours. SO screw up your courage and
tell the girls you would like to meet
him. Remember though. dear, at six
on YOU are too young to be thinking
Of falling in love and IL boy o. twenty
three is n little too old for YOU.

PUSHCART MARKET
FOR
FOOD PROFITEERS
Can Be Reached by Every
Housewife, and Greedy Re-
tailerS Taught a Lesson.

One partial and immediate solution
OF the food proflteering pioblom In
this city lies in the hands CT the con-
sumers themselves. II they Will take
advantage Of the opportunity offered
by the several pushcart markets in
various sections OF the city, they can
not only save from % to 75 per cent.
ON their green groceries. but can force
the retailers OF their localities to be
satisfied with reasonable profits on
such commodities.
As has been shown by The Evening
World. vast quantities OF vegetables
are now coming into New York from
Long Island and New Jersey, most OF
them being brought By farmers and
gardeners to the Wallabout and
Gansevoort Markets. controlled by the
city. There fully 30 per cent. Of these
products are sold difectly TO retailers.
many Of whom sell them To consumers
at from 100 to 600 per cent. profit.
String beans, for example. laid down
in his store to-day cost the retailer
less than cents pound, or 81 cents
a quart at the outside. In many re-
tail stores the prices to the consumer
run up to 10, 15 and even IS cents a
quart. But in the pushcart markets,
especially those IN the poorer quar-
ters of the city, the finest and freshest
of these beans can be bought for from
to 6 cents a pound.
A profitable form of evening enter

has lost much OF its attraction, might
