No one wants to spend much time
this beautiful season Of the year IN
baking cakes in a hot kitchen, but
nevertheless there is a certain charm
about homemade cakes that tempts
even the busiest of us. Nothing seems
to round out quite so well porch tea,
an early picnic or Sunday night supper,
and the cold drinks that are such a
popular part of warm weather enter
tanning often seem to taste so much
better when accompanied by a crisp
oatmeal or coconut macaroon. a spicy
cookie, or a small iced nut cake.
There are some recipes that require a
very short time in preparation; some OF
these are listed below, and others will
be found in any good cook book.
would suggest that you gather together
a group of dozen or so and keep them
on file for ready reference.
Nut Drop Cakes.
Cream together one-half cupful of
shortening and one cup of sugar.
When we'll blended add three eggs and
beat until smooth. Then stir in two
tablespoonful of milk and two cupfulS
of cake flour mixed and Sifted with two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one tea
spoonful of cinnamon and one-half tea
spoonful of salt. Next add one cupful
Of finely chopped nut meats. The mix
ture should be a very thick batter
Drop from q teaspoon on well creased
pans, and bake in a hot oven-400 de-
grees-about IL minutes. Cool, spread
with an unlocked icing which may be
variously colored and favored. This
recipe makes about 80 cakes. which will
keep for nearly week If stored in an
alright box.
Coc0nut MacarOons.

cate in texture. Such cereals may be
made even more appetizing by the addi-
ton Of small amount of cut-up fruit,
such as raisins. dates or figs, or by
serving them with sliced bananas, sliced
peaches or any OF the berries.
The coarser cereals are used In the
proportion Of one and one-half to two
cupfulS of cereal to four cupfuls of boil
ing water. In some instances, where
| the cereal is especially prepared for
quick cooking, almost equal proportions
Of cereal and water are used. Again
1 urge you to read the directions accom-
panying the cereal and follow them
carefully.
Present-day cereals are especially
manufactured to save time and trouble
for the housewife. It is entirely possible
to buy the old-fashioned type OF cereal
that has not been partially cooked by
steam, and that requires several hours
or more of cooking to make it tender
and digestible. Some people think that
such have a richer flavor than the par
TALLY prepared ones. but that Is largely
q matter of individual taste, and few
Of us have the time to give to cooking
them.

or singly.
Prepare the food for cooking accord
Place the food in the inner pail, cover
with water, and cook long enough to
allow the heat to penetrate to the very
center. Cover closely, and while it Is
still boiling place quickly in the out
side retainer and shut this tight. When
boiling a piece of ham or something
that weighs a good deal 1t is often q
good plan to take out the inner recep-
tacle that holds the food and reheat 1t
after it has been in several hours, then

There are few foods that offer as
great return in nutritive value as
cereals, and there are few foods that
can be more completely spoiled in flavor
and appearance by poor cooking than
these cereal grains. On the other hand
very small amount OF care and the
observance of few simple rules can
make them most appetizing and attrac-
tive.
Cereals are valuable for their starch
content, which furnishes energy; for
the small but easily assimilated amount
of protein they contain, and for their
varying amounts of minerals and vita
Minis. The coarse cereals also contain
considerable cellulose, which makes
them of use in providing some of the
necessary bulk that is an aid in pre-
venting constipation. The whole-grain
cereals also contain q slightly higher
percentage Of mineral matter and vita
minis than the refined ones.
Most cereals are divided into these
two, classes of the coarse and the fine.
In cooking them boiling water should
always be used, and enough time should
be allowed to develop the flavor. Pro-
portions should be carefully measured,
according to the type of cereal used
in order to avoid the sticky, stodgy
masses that are so often served in the
name of cereal.
Practically all package cereals give
directions for the proper cooking of
their contents. In most cases these
recipes have been very carefully worked
out by cookery experts, and are planned
to give the best possible results. It is
foolish to neglect them and to SubSti-
tute guesSwork in the matter of meas
uring and then expect good results. II
your family has formed dislike for
eating cooked cereals, it may be possible
that it can be traced just to this.
Finely ground cereals generally re-
quire one cupful Of cereal to four or
six cupfuls of boiling water The grain
should be stirred gradually into the
water in order to avoid Jumping, and at
least 20 minutes allowed for cooking.
When ready to serve 1t should be of the
consistency Of a thick jelly and as deli

squares of leather over the knees. This
saves stockings, trousers and knees

Buys

Purchase of fifty acre lake was

Johnson, photographer of Nevada
booms, last summer. it was reveal

While at his little resort, Tahoma
lodge, at Lake Tahoe, last summer
and fall johnson kept his eyes
open for various opportunities II
the vicinity.
And with the result that the 30
acre tract in PlumaS county, Cal
ifornia, on which the beautiful little
body of water is situated, was
bought during the summer.
The lake is fed by springs and
snow water, and is frozen over N
winter sufficiently for skating. There
is a government road within five
miles, leading to government ran
ger station which is perched atop
a peak at an altitude Of l700 feeC

The lake is fifteen miles from
Taylorville, and 81 miles from the
Feather river highway. 1t is 15l
miles northwest of Lake Tahoe, by
