By Sister Mary ,ITCKwHEAT CAKES

BUCkWHEAT CAKES The winter breakfast is usually a heartier affair than the summer one of fruit and toast. Hot cakes, griddle cakes or pancakes offer a welcome change from toast and are universally popular,
 Buckwheat is particularly win ter grain for it provides heat for the body. Freshly ground, pure, unadul- terated buckwheat should be used if possible.
 A luncheon of buckwheat cakes and sausages is always a delicious change if hot cakes are not wanted for breakfast.
 These rules for buckwheat cakes are good and offer a fair choice. Cakes made with yeast are perhaps more wholesome than those made by the quick" method.
 Yeast Buckwheat Cakes
 One-half compressed yeast cake, 1-2 cup luke-warm water, 3 more cups warm water, cups buckwheat, teaspoon salt, 1-2 teaspoon soda.
 Soften yeast cake in the half cup of water. When thoroughly dissolved add the rest of the water, salt and buckwheat. Mix perfectly smooth. The batter should be so thick that it will just pour from the spoon. Cover and let stand in a warm place over night. In the morning dissolve soda in little warm water and beat into batter. Let stand 10 minutes and bake on a hot well greased griddie. The batter for baking should be thin and 'runny." Buckwheat cakes require a hotter griddle than corn meal or wheat cakes.
 Some of the batter can be saved and used as a starter for another baking instead of using fresh yeast cake.
 Sour Milk Buckwheat Cakes
 Two cups buckwheat. cup sour milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, i-2 teaspoon salt, teaspoon soda, egg
 Mix dry ingredients. Beat egg well and add milk and butter. Beat well. Let stand 10 minutes and bake on hot well greased griddle. Sour milk batter should not be as thin as yeast batter
 Ci1nib Buckwhcat Cakes
 Two-third cup fine bread crumbs 2 cups milk, ? cups water, l-2 yeast cake, tablespoon molasses cups bnckwheat, l tablespoon melted but ter. l.2 teaspoons soda, teaspoon salt.
 Scsld milk and pour over bread crumbs. When luke warm add yeast cake dissolved in luke-warm water. Add salt and buckwhcat and beat until smooth. Cover and let stand in a warm place over night. In the nor ming add molasses. melted butter and soda dissolved in little warm water. Bake on a hot well grcased eriddle. Some of this batter can be saved for another baking.

Disinfccting inc Home.


 You can be well and strong only when your house and surroundings are clean and free from germs and vermin. Dirt and disease germs go hand in hand. The consensus of opinion at the last great meeting of the American Medical Society, at Chicago, was that cleanliness was the greatest single factor in reducing the death rate in our country.
 The general health is not safe guarded as it should be. If laws adequate to real health conditions could be made and enforced, our death rate would soon show fur ther drop. Disinfecting is one great means of helping in the prevention campaign against conta agious disease germs.
 Proper disinfecting is easy. The expense is slight, the gain is great.
 Disease germs are readily killed and your house made heslthful by strong. pungent gases, used as dis infectants. The old sulphur method is still used, and in cases where other material is not easy to obtain, is sat isfactory.
 For 1000 cubic feet Of air space use about four pounds of sulphur. Batten up all cracks and openings. the keyhole included, so that no air can enter. Place your sulphur mix cd with pounded charcoal and little paper to insure proper lighting, in u metal container for safety. Have the air of the room moist, so the sulpher will be more effective. For verm;n extermination sulphur is best Do not open room or house so disinfcct- od for 24 hours. Allow no one 10 enter. Then open all doors and win dows to air thoroughly.
 lormaldhyde gas or vspor acts more quickly than sulphur and does not affect colors. When using th,s gas, place clothing or other objects on a clothcs-line. stretched across the room. Sprinkle coarse cotton sheet with 4o per cent solution Of for maldchyde gas and leave for l2 or i5 hours.
 Strong sunlight will kill all ordi- nary germs in about three hours.

STRENGTH H0LDSUP.
IN BOND MARKET
Austrian Loan Plans Meet
With Favor--High- Grade
Rails in Demand.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 24.-The bond
market was strong today-in fact. the
strongest since the first week Of
April. About that time there were
two or three days of rising prices
with apparent indications of sub
stantial advance, but the movement
fattened out. The tone today was re-
garded as very much better than that
prevailing on the last attempt to
stimulate a buying interest in bonds.
In addition to- the factors enumer-
ated Wednesday the market today
had the stimulus of the announce
ment OF J. p. Morgan & Co. as to the
proposed Austrian loan. IL was ar
gued that the bankers would not have
attempted to fioat this loan at this
of the future of the investment mar
ket. not only as to foreign, but as to
domestic securities as we'll.
Liberties were quiet, but firm, with
the most activity in the second and
third Az as. High-grade rails. how
vancing prices. Practically the whole
list responded TO the movement The
impressive thing about the advance
was its uniformity.
The speculative rails shared the I'M :
provement shown by railroad stocks.
notably the st. Paul As of 1925 and
the refunding las.
Industrial and utility bonds were
firm. but not so active as the rails.
Foreign bonds, as a rule, were firm.
Serbian SIS and Bolivia IS were the
only exceptions. Heavy offerings Of
state and municipal bonds are ex-
pccted within the next month. For
a long time the municipal bond mar
ket has been very quiet.
