water and hurried back.
The girl lay on the ground. "Pour
some of the water over her." the cou-

The girl opened her eyes slowly.

voice.

He pulled off his knapsack and gave
the girl an orange from it. Then he
gave her a biscuit.
"We'll all have a big meal shortly"
he said. perhaps 1t would be better,

shown that these simple breads, which
are tender and light, though solid in
appearance, can be satisfactorily made
out of finely ground meal, If little
baking powder is added. In the corn
meal breads of the second class. which
are made light by the carbon dioxid
given off by baking powder, or through
the action of sour milk on soda, the
gluten deficiency Of the corn is made
up for by the use Of eggs, which hold
the air bubbles which make ii light. In
breads of the third class, those raised
by the carbon diOxid given off by the
yeast. the gluten deficiency in the corn
is supplied by the addition of some
other -four, usually wheat or rye.
YeaSt-raised corn breads do not dry
out nearly so quickly as the other
types, and they are palatable either
warm or cold. For these reasons they
are convenient for the hOusekeeper
who does not wish to make bread
fresh for each meal.
Provides Other Dishes.
Corn meal may be used in preparing
many excellent dishes other than
breads. A very substantial dish is

two cupfuls of cold white corn

Goldfish, one egg and one tablespoon

the ingredients and drop by spoon

paper. These Goldfish balls compare
very favorably in taste with those
made with potato and are prepared
more easily and quickly. The mush
must be as dry as possible.

powder or eggs, or in which the corn
meal is combined with wheat. For
some sorts of cooking it requires soft
ening by scalding. The underground
meal is prepared very generally from
white dent corn which has been Meth
er kiln-dried nor degermed. 1t is
milled between stones which are not
allowed to reach high temperature,
and may or may not be bOlted. 1t is
not so dry as the granulated meal and
feels softer or more fiOurlike TO the
touch. While it can be used in cook
ing all sorts Of corn bread, ii is par
ticularly suitable for the simpler
forms Of bread which consist chiefly
of meal, shortening and water or milk.
When used in such breads, however,
1t should not be ground too finely.
Since corn meal spoils rather easily,
special attention should he given to
the way in which it is stored. 1t
should be kept in a cool, dry place,
and should be closely covered to ex-
clude insects. This applies to the
mill and the shop as well as the home.
The underground" meal spoils more
easily than the granular meal. When
convenient, therefore, it should he
milled only In small quantities as
needed.
In q general way, cOrn-meal breads,
though Of very great variety and
known by many different names, fall
into three classes: Those raised by
air beaten into them; those raised by
baking powder or soda, and those
raised by yeast. The meal Is partic-
ularly adapted to the making of the
first kind, for as we have seen, there
is nothing corresponding with the glu-
ten of wheat to hold the particles to-
gether and to prevent them from be-
ing driven apart by the expansion Of
the air. Such breads are best made
from the coarser meals and are usual
" very simple in character, often con-
tanning nothing more than meal, salt,
and either water or milk. Sugar Is
sometimes added In some localities,
though in others this is not considered
desirable. A small amount of fat is
also added sometimes. Recent care

At ordinary prices corn meal is

made simply of corn meal, salt and
water or the meal may be combined
with various other materials.
Recipes for the use of corn meal
that will be useful everywhere are not
Easy to make, for the meal used in
various parts of the country differs
| considerably. In general the granular.
which is used more commonly in the
North, requires more water and long
er cooking than the water ground,
which is used more generally in the
South. This extra cooking is needed
to soften the meal and remove the
granular quality from which it gets
its name, and must often be given TO
the meal before it is used in making
bread and some other dishes.
Two Kinds of Meal.
There are two general kinds of corn
meal, the granular, or new process"
and the sO-called water ground" or
''Old process" The granular is more
used in the North. the water ground
in the South, though the latter is also
well known in many parts of the
North. The granular meal is milled
from kiln-dried degermed corn be-
tween rollers which may become quite
hot during the process, and is bOlted.

fingers. 1t is convenient for use, for
