THE SOLDIER soY's WELCOME
~ fiOk.A


Dear Sisters Of Ills Social Corner:
Having been absent freln The Corner
for several weeks past, enter again.
with Unusual jo5 and gratitude. though
personal TO me: Yet all soldiers' moth
ers realize what 1t means to welcome
home their boys from overseas.
The nlists have rolled away, and the
silver lining from the dark clouds OF
| anxiety which appeared one Year ago
NOV present al gladness to a thankful
heart.
Unselfsh for the priceless treasure
Of my soldier boy. safely returned to
| me, my sincere synlpathies go out tc
ali mothers and friends who cannot
greet their loved and lost on this siGe
! Of eternity's ocean.
We might correct that thought. No
lost but only passed on a short tint
before US ALL and not in vain!
Those of us whose boys have beer
| spared to return, without scratch O
| scar, and III the excellent health Q
their young manhood. feel the hand 0
fate has favored US greatly.
| Many SAD hearts are mourning a
this time as the troopships bring t
our shores the infirm and shattefe
lives OF those Eiae crossed over i
prime Of health only 4 few month
I ago.
\ And to those homes where the gol
star on the service flag speaks for it
self We all desire to do honor to thei
dead memory.
We who now remove the blue star
| from our porci7es are humbly gratefI
that they lived TO DO their bit, and W
| appreciate their home coming as "
never could before.
! Good cheer and gratitude

RULES FOR BAKING

Dear Social Corner Friends: Il is q
long time since contributed my, bit
to The Corner, but as With most of
the Sisters the spring of the year is
usually my busy time, as there is so
much to do.
Blanche: I will answer yours of late
cate soon. Was much pleased to hear
from ore / used to know
Merry Widow: Please send ME ycur
address. ! have lost track Of your old
enc.
Tidy Addley: Are you still living la
| Croton or New London? II SO I may
| look you up some time.
/ Crimson Rambler; How are you this
| beautiful spring weather: Well and
| happy, ! hope.
am sending in hints myself tried
/ and found by experience they wera
friend.
The most difficult Of the young
| housewives duties is that of baking.
| Food prepared in the best manner
may be ruined by a fire which Is eth
| az too, hot or too slow, during any
part OF the process. There are count
less recipes for the preparation OF
/ food, but very little instruction as to
the manner Of baking it. Each one
! must learn By experience. ard there
are more provoking Failures in this
! direction than any other.
! Some think that to bake anything
1 well the oven must be IS hot as it can
| be without burning the article to be
| baked all the time il is baking. That
I I lind is not tlae case with anything
| except crackers and cookies.
/ For biscuits, the oven should o.
] equally hot when they are put in, .,u-
4 should; begin to cool q little before
they are taken out. This makes them
very light, but one has to watch to
keep them from being seoret,ed: ht-
teen minutes are enough to bake them
If baked with such fire as that re-
i Quired for bread they will be heavy.
i For gems made Of graham -four and
! water. or for corn bread, the ever
should be very hot. but the fire shoule
have been built some time before they
are put in; and begin to go down By
the time they are light; for il the over
remained as hot as is necessary tt
i make them rise, they viii burn bGsnre
they are thoroughly cooked through.

ARE THE SCHOOLS LOSING
GROUND?

Dear Social Corner Sisters: Should
there not be nearer relation between
the home and the school? Are there not
IDEAS IN regard to home duties which
the teacher ignores, and ia doing SO,
the child . misjldges her. and rather
THINKS she is encouraged TO look upon
household work rather as something
demsaning rather than what it is,
something very wo,aaniy.
j II is a splendid thing for a girl to
study Latin and Mathematics. but it
would be better tor her never to know
what they are than that she should
be studying them on Saturday morn
ing while her mother is scrlbbing the
floor and doing the baking for the next
day. No girl insti.iAd with right prin-
ciples would want such a state of at
fairs.
We say the girl will pl&y lady while
her mother washes her clothes and
waits on her. We blame the child, but
is it the child's fault? The parent al
lows these things to go on, and the
school has a tendency to encourage 1t
and in doing SO, is not the school los
ing ground?
A girl should be taught that satur-
day and Sunday are different than al
other days Of the week. The lesson
LOT .hofudy Stlould De learnt on HflQay

used on either Of these two days. Sat

A CURE. FOR CONCLUSIONS.

Dear Sisters OF the Social Corner:
II Monday is pleasant it is good omen
for the rest Of the week, at least for
the laundry work. and the plans are
not disarfanged for the other days.
Recently / have been adding a
rounding teaspoon OF peanut butter to
each loaf of bread No other shorten
ing Is used. Although little darker
colored, it is richer in protein.
The slogan of the writer is, il one
has something to help one, pass il
along.
Last week child three years old
had a spasu and the mother was much
frightened and sent her boy for the
Deighbors to come in. 1t was very
quiet when they arrived and took the
medicine that was given to it. I cou1d
assist only in kind words. Some
thought it might be worms. as it Ilae
! been subject to similar attacks. Ons
woman gave remedy to cure it from
! future Illness along this line; and i
| was to pull its shirt off over it's heat
wrong side out and put it in the stov,
/ and burn it. which was promptly done
I was an interested onlooker. ant
am wondering If the remedy will hav
/ TO be repeated. The doctor came latel
/ md all Is well.
