POTATO PANCAKES.
From Mrs. r. S. B., WaShington.)
To Mrs. M. M. K, Landop: Po-
tato Pancakes: Eight large potatoes
pared, 2 onions, eggs. 3 teaspoons
baking powder, 3 tablespoons flour,
p or 3 teaspoons salt, according to
taste.
This was my mothers recipe and
they were delicious to our family.
Potatoes and onions are grated, but
they can be put through the meat
grinder (eaSier on your hands,. Mix
in the baking powder and flour and
salt according to taste), beat the
eggs and then add to potato cake
mixture. Fry in hot lard or any
shortening grease. They shouldn't
be tough. At times I have put in
3 eggs, and if the mixture seemed
a little too runny I have added
little more -four Too much flour
could make them heavy. Heat un-
der pan not too hot and not too cold.
Too hot might burn onions before
potatoes are cooked.

I repeat, a baby should be in bed
when he is asleep At II months
our boy is put to bed when he is
tired-not at some time convenient
to his parents. If he wants to be
rocked he is rocked. If he wants a
story his father or mother reads
him a story If he wants a bottle
he is given one In bed he lies
quietly or plays quietly with few
toys and goes to sleep in to Is
minutes. Sometimes he stands up
and calls. If he is really not sleepy
we let him up for an hour, or so.

The point is, we do not try to

our trouble and care is paying off
Mrs. L. M. S. writes that our child
must be very inactive. The opposite
is true. He climbed out of the play
pen at 7 months and walked at 10
months. He is unusually large and
active, with an active child's dislike
for confinement. If you try to put
yourself in the child's place you can
see that he would naturally object
to being yanked away from play on
the living room floor while wide
awake, and dumped into a high
walled bed in dark room. A child
