Making Crisp
Waffles
By Hannah Wing

When you make waffles You want
them crisp and delicious. 1t is Il
waffle's business to take up as little
space as possible in order TO give first
place to the hot melted butter and
thick. luscious syrup for which it is
merely the right and proper accOmpan-
iment. A thick. soggy waffle can
certainly not play such n role.
To make wafflcs crisp the waffle
mixture must be thin. almost danger
ously thin it seems. and certainly thin
ner than you at first think you can
use it. To get crisp waffle select
recipe which uses a fairly generous
amount of fat. And be sure you have
the right waffle iron. Select one that
only holds n small amount and makes
Il thin rather than thick waffle. Inc
new electric electric waffle irons are
particularly desirable for this purpose.
IL n gas waffle iron of real iron
is to be used. it must be creased gen
erously with each baking TO give
crispness. The electric waffle iron
of aluminium requires no grcasing and
hence makes no black. smelly smoke,
but to have equally rich crisp waffles
it. is well TO add a bit more fat to
the recipe.
As for recipes. some use milk. some
use mill; and water. some use cream,
but down South where the real waf-
files come from you will find they pre-
fer sour milk recipe.
Here is one inherited from a South
ern ancestor.

Tomato and Grange Salad
Cake
One of the cooking processes on
which we spend too much of both
time and energy is cakcmaking. Much
experimenting shows that it is scarce
ly worth while to cream shortening
and sugar; that melted shortening
combines with the sugar just as thor
oughly and much more quickly than
when it is laborously worked in; that
very little difference in the texture is
observed when the eggs are beaten
separately and the whites folded in
last.
There are several things to remem-
Der in cakemqking-simplc things
which are of great Importance. One
is that all measurements are level /:
another. that flour should be siftcd
before it is measured. Many cake bat
tiers are too thick because the flour
is not sifted and then measured &c
curately.
4 delicious dark cake that may
well serve rs 4 dcSsert-cspecially If
it is topped with heap of whipped
| cream-iS made of these ingredients /:
Half cup butter.
One cup sugar.
Two eggs.
One cup nuts or ralSlnS.
One cup sour milk.
Three tablespoons cocoa.
Two cups flour.
One teaspoon baking powder.
Half teaspoon soda.
Half teaspoon salt.
One teaspoon cinnamon.
The directions say: Cream butter
add sugar and cream again" The but
ter may be softened so that it blend,
easily with the sugar-Or it may be
| melted. My preference in making this
cake is to use brown sugar. but white
sugar serves equally well. II you agre,
with me that butter in cakes is be-
yond our means. oleOmargarine, lard
or any of the white vegetable shorten
ings may take its place.
After the shortening and sugar are
combined. the unbcaten eggs are add
ed, one at n time. and the mixtur.
beaten after each addition. Then the
nuts or raisinS and sour milk are add
ed and the sifteI dry ingredients fold

Foxy Grandpa's
Stories
Some Fishermen Who DONE
Need Tackle.

Bobby had been In swimming and
was drying off in the sun on the
sandy shore of the little island off the
coast of Central America to which we
had gone over in a motorboat.
That's the finest swim / ever
had, Foxy Grandpa. It's too bad you
don't like the water. Bunny" said
Bobby, shaking his curly head in the
sun to dry it.
Il prefer to take my exercise on
dry land" said Bunny, squirming at
the thought of water. MY family
can swim, I'll say that. But we only
swim when it is case OF life or
death"
l. Now said Bobby, when he was
all dry and dressed, "if only had
my fishing-tackle 1 could have some
more fun. I'll bet could catch a
lot Of fish in that water"
TOO bad you didn't think to bring
it along, Bobby. I'm surprised you
forgot it," L laughed.
81 didn't forget it. Foxy Grandpa"
said Bobby. 81 didn't know We were
coming here today and L lent it to
Il boy"
"Oh," I chuckled, that's different,
because Bobby is seldom caught any
where where there is water without
his fishing paraphernalia. That's
long word, isn't it?
But it didn't make much difference
about Bobby's not fishing that day,
because we saw one of the strangest

Bobby. Because the leader and the
ones right behind him walked right
straight into the water.

chuckled under my breath. That is
a surprise
We waited. One by one the whole

What Tomorrow Means to You
BY MARY BLAKE.

Tomorrow planetary aspects are,
during the morning and until noon,
propitious, and indicate that there will
be a decided zest sensed in any work
or task that may be undertaken. The
signs denote, however, that there is a
strong probability of overconfidence,
attributable to the more than or
dinarily stimulating vibrations that
will prevail. This must be guarded
against, as excessive assurance or eN-
aggerated optimism is a danger nearly
as great as undue pessimism. Later
on. the aspects become gloomy and
forbidding. Reactionary sentiment
will rule, and tendency to become
dissatisfied with conditions will be in
evidence. This transitory influence
must be combated and poise estab-
lished. In the home, especially, there
will be felt an urge to go off at a
tangent. Peace and consideration for
others demand that your impulses
must be curbed.
Children born tomorrow will not,
during infancy, develop the strength
and vigor that are desired. In order
to assist them to achieve a normally
physical maturity, great care must be
taken and well regulated nutrition
given them during the entire period

WILkES5ARRE, Pa, Sept. 3.-The
tie-up in the anthracite is 100 per

that fact. The operators are not so
far making any effort to import seabs,
though they may try that and try TO
break the local miners ranks when
they think starvation has done it's
work and the miners money is gone.
Their first move on this policy is the

Operators sources were quoted as
saying that this supply would last

no great demand for bituminous and

that time. They said the pubic need

Leaders Of the miners declared that
