Griddle Cakes.
BY BETSY CALLISTER.

Griddle cakes are certainly an easy
way to give tempting taste to meal.
Fried foods have a taste that gives
character to whole meal some people
think. And griddle cakes provide this
delicious quality.
There are many kinds Of griddle
cakes. Among those that may be served
temptingly for luncheon are corn grid
die cakes. They are just as good made
of canned as Of fresh corn. This Is the
way to make them: Mix two cups Of
canned corn with two-thirds Of cup
of milk, two eggs beaten light. two ta-
blespoonfuls of butter, a cup Of sifted
flour, a half teaspoonful of salt and
two level teaspoonfuls of baking pow
der. Fry in a buttered skillet. They
may be served with butter. with sirup
or with creamed chicken or chicken
fricasSee.
Griddle cakes may be made with
bread crumbs They are delicious and
they form an admirable way Of using
I'D stale bread. Measure out two cups
of crumbs and soak them in two cups
of scalded milk for an hour. Add enc
teaspoonful of salt, cup Of flour and
two teaspoonfuls Of baking powder
sifted together, and then add two eggs,
whites and yolks beaten separately.
Cook on a griddle In the usual way for
griddle cakes.
Rice griddle cakes are made in this
way: Pour one cup Of scalded milk on
one cup of cooked rice. Sift together a
cup and a half Of flour, a teaspoonful
of salt, a tablespoonful of sugar and
two teaspoonfuls Of baking powder.
Add to the rice and milk. and then add
two eggs, beaten separately, and then
another cup of milk. Cook as usual for
griddle cakes.

has been only one menace to the heights
to which they have scared since the
war in their successful attack on new
interests. And that is diet. You do not
need to diet excessively II you lead q
normal, happy life, with your full
quota of intellectual and physical en-
joyment. I do not mean that I want
you to indulge in quantities of whipped
cream or candy in an afternoon. But
remember. You are successful
woman only II you are happy and at
tractive and well.
Sample my idea of balanced menu,
eating one-third as much as your hus-
band, and let me know how my plan
works. Here's the menu:
Tomatoes Stuffed With Celery
and Apples

Borscht (no cream for yours)
Brook Trout With Cucumbers Sauted

PLEASING THE MAN
BY CHLOE JAMISON.

THERE is one thing that should be
rendered in homes where Lent is
observed. Sacrifice may take the form
of curtailment of habits or special ap-
petites. But never let it be stretched
to the point where the menu is insuff1-
cient to satisfy the reasonable needs
of the man. woman or child who must
go out to work or to school or do heavy
housework
Confined indoors. at relatively easy
tasks, many hmemakers do not realize
the demand for food created by catch
ing the BIS in the cold early morn
ing. walking briskly to the office, put
ting in a full day at nervous tension.
then dashing home again. The man
who sits down to a sacrificial dinner
Of pale vegetables and a piece of fruit
does not rise from his table in a GOOD
frame of mind. He gets up hungry
vaguely conscious that something Is
wrong somewhere Unless his meal has
been well planned to include its proper
proportion of sugar, starch and meat
substitute there will be wistful tight
ening of the belt before bedtime; On
the morrow a week. ill-tempered start.
Lenten meals can be ever so delici-
GUS: ever so sufficient, yet still keep
within the spirit that prompts us to
observe this period set apart for
sacrifice.
When meat is absent. cheese, nuts.
butter cream or some other equivalent
should take its place. When fish is
served, bolster up the menu by includ-
ing a hearty food such as cheesed rice.
macaroni with tomatoes. green peppers
and onions. or perhaps lima bean loaf
with tomato sauce.

dainty and attractive finish without the
trouble Of turning hens and sewing on
lace. -,
Garments finished in the neck with
an embroidered buttonhole scallop tear
cut very easily. Many nightgowns that
are bought already stamped for en-
broidering are finished in this way. II
you will sew tiny tape on the wrong
side of the garment before doing the
ernbroidering. the buttonhole scallop
will make firm, strong neck and also a
heavier and much more attractive
scallop.
1t is such an annoyance to have tapes
or ribbons mislaid or partly unstrung
when dressing in a bury. To avoid
this, tack them to the garment halfway
from each end, and they will always be
in the right place. To make strong
shoulder straps for underwear crochet
strip of plain filet half an inch wide
and of the desired length to 60 over
the shoulders Sew to the garment In
place of riELon CT tape, and you Will
have very satisfactory shoulder strap
for undervest. nightgown or slip. IT
will wear well and will stand launder-
ing for long time.
Many ways for repairing mems shirts
which have worn around the neck and
cuffs have been suggested. but one OF
the best ways is as follows: Put onto
such a shirt a new piece in the front,
shaped like an old-style bosom. Then,
if need, attach new cuffs. IT does not
matter if the material is not the same
as the original shirt, because the new
parts are the only ones which show
when the coat and vest are worn. This
gives double life to each shirt, quite a
saving these days, and the work is
quickly done by person who Is accus-
toned to doing mending and plain
sewing.
Blankets and Linens.
If a blanket is worn in the center,
other parts may be cut into squares
about a yard long and hemmed, and
you will then have warm, absorbent
pieces to fold around the baby when
taken from the bathtub. If you have
a blanket that is perfectly good except
that the binding is worn or faded, first
rip off, but do not cut off. the worn
ribbon, then crochet scallop or shell
in its place Use heavy wool and steel
crochet needle. which will go through
the blanket easily, to pick up the
stitches. The edge may be finished in
white or cream color to match the
blanket. This launders better than q
ribbon binding.
Linen sheets are very nice, but their
cost often prevents their use. Such de-
sirable cotton sheets are available that
we should not wish for the linen that
We cannot afford. 1t Is impossible to
judge at sight whether sheeting is
made of short or long cotton threads,
and yet there is considerable difference
in the wear. The longer fibers last
longer. The best and safest way to in
vest in sheets is to depend upon the
label of the manufacturer as there are
several brands that can be depended
upon.

To Wash Rag Rugs.

There is a simple way to wash heavy
rag rugs. Soak the rug for five minutes
in cold water, then spread them on a
bare floor and sprinkle them heavily
with any good washing powder. Scrub
the rugs until they are clean. with a
clean broom dipped in hot water. Rinse
thoroughly in clean water in the
laundry tub and hang on the line to
dry.

 The attack came as he charged the jury in liquor case involv- ing ten defendants. The jury re- turned a disagreement and was discharged Assistant United States Attorney Elihu D. Stone said a new trial would be held soon.
 Judge Lowell said that by wire tapping, Uncle Sam became "a Sneaking cur" instead of an hon. orable, upright gentleman.

 At present Turkey actually has only three full working days each week. On Sunday her Christian subjects lay off; on Friday the Moslems and on Saturday the Jews. Nobody likes to make any important deal on Tuesday, which IS considered a bad luck day.
