TARALE,

ffTOHL d. 81, 6TentUOOG, No.
I haven't seen any answers for q
recipe for "Tarale" so am sending
the one my mother used to make.
She never had a written recipe but
these are approximately the meas
urements.
Sift about 6 cups flour, 3 tea
spoons baking powder, V teaspoon
salt, u cup sugar together, make a
hole in the middle, add / teaspoon
vanilla. II eggs, mix as you would
for biscuits but make slightly
harder dough. Set aside to "rest"
for half an hour or more so it will
roll. Roll to about u inch thick,
then cut in about u inch strips,
roll slightly, cut in desired lengths
and make rings, we prefer to make
them in straight fingers, however,
as they frost more easily. Set on
cookie sheet ! inch apart and bake
about $50 degrees.
Frosting: Two pounds sugar, l
teaspoon vanilla, about u cup
water, or enough to melt sugar.
Cook until it spins thread, put
cookies in large pans, pour frosting
over cookies and stir steadily until
sugar dries. Use paddle or large
spoon. Also sugar in boxes worked
better than in bag. Be sure to
cook sugar enough or it will remain
sticky. You may add coloring or
cocoa to the frosting.
You may add some milk in place
OF all the eggs, but it will not be so
good in texture. Add little more
flour if dough is not hard enough.

TRAVELLING WITH CHILDREN
From Mrs. c. F. R., Arltngton.)
I'm a constant reader of the RICH
and have certainly learned innum-
erable ideas about housekeeping,
etc, through your column. It's a
wonderful page and look forward
to reading it every night. This is
the first time I've written in and
hope to help some one as they've
helped me.
To Mrs. ]. I. K, District Heights,
Md: About your trip to North
Dakota, you go right ahead and plan
it. I had a similar long trip to
Nebraska when our daughter was
only 5,a months old, and we got
along fine. Am passing on my self
worked-out idea to you and hope
they'll prove successful.
Re baby's formula: Make up
each evening, when you stop at
tourist camp, enough formula to last
the next day. Keep it in quart
fruit jars packed in bucket Of ice
which you can buy, in many cities,
close to service stations. When it's
time for baby's feeding, stop at a
restaurant and ask to warm the
baby'S milk in the bottle. You'll
find all places are very courteous.
Have your sirup for the formula
in a jar, also. To cleanse all bottle
nipples, have jar of boric acid
solution and cotton. (On my long
trip I boiled my daughters milk
in saucepan on hot plate I took
from home). You can usually buy
homogenized milk at tourist camps
found, too, the tourist camps off,
ces usually have refrigerators and
they were very hospitable in letting
me keep baby's formula in it over
night. Too, if your baby eats pab-
lum, mix that up in a big batch,
1. e., the pablum and sugar or
whatever you use and add the
warmed milk as you need it.
Re baby's diapers: BY all means,
use disposable ones. (Take rubber
sheet along to use on the beds, or
some tourist camps even provide
them-it's best to take one and be
on the safe side). Have the diapers
In an easy accessible bag.
- Arrange the youngest baby's feed
ing schedule to coincide with the
times your husband has to service
the car with gas, oil, etc, or regular
