PLEASING THE MAN
Regional Dishes He
 May Like

If there is a Southern gentleman, in your home. .onc who pays you every compliment to your northern or eastern cooking. |. but still has fond memories of that particular brand of food that is created below the M. & D. line ?
 If the head of the house does hail from the South, he'll never forget his southern spoon bread, pones and hoe cakes, no matter how light your biscuits or the bakers white bread may be. So once in a while, for @ surprise, or when you especially want to please him, forget it's summer time and stir up a batch of spoon bread. You can bake it in your cooker. if you have one, and so avoid un- welcome heat.
 Hoe Cakes
 These little cakes are a modern ized version of the kind baked be- fore an open hearth. You can cook them on hot greased grid- dle in no time at all. Use coarse white meal-the old fashioned wa- ter ground meal if you can get it.. To 2 cups corn meal add 1a tea spoon salt; pour over this enough boiling water to make a soft dough; add also little milk to make them brown nicely. Let stand for an hour or longer, then work with the hand, forming the mixture into little cakes an inch thick. Bake on greased griddle until Drowned on both sides. Serve very hot, so the butter will melt when they are split and spread with it.

Dissolve 1 package of lemon favored gelatin in cup boiling water. add 12 cloves and IA tea spoon of salt, and 1 cup cold wa ter. When about to thicken, re- move the cloves and add 1-2 cup of prepared horseradish that has been seasoned to taste. Turn into small individual molds, filling them about one-half full.

If desired, you can whip 2 tablespoons of heavy mayonnaise into the mixture before pouring it into the molds to jell. This will give an opaque relish instead of a clear, sparkling one.

campaign would have more public
appeal.
Both Black and Schwellenbach aft

developed that the firm had working
capital of $4,000, which he advanced.
He refused to swear, however, that
he put additional sums into the COM
pany until he had consulted the rec
ords of the firm. Black told him to
get that information.
The committee records showed that
this firm, with a working capital of
$4,000, had earned S2,725,138 between
1926 and 1888.

ranged to continue their inquiry into

concessions to honest differences of
opinion" in order to break the dead
lock. Mr.. Roosevelt has fought for
the mandatory abolition clause.
