were big enough to tuck firmly un-
der the mattress. placed his pill
low up to the head of the bed and
had the covers up close to the pill
low. BY tucking good-sized sheet
under the mattress, it's impossible
to be pulled out. Then added covers
can be thrown on or off without
having to tuck them under.
At first, I'll say his first year and
a half, we watched carefully as he'd
go to sleep, as he was very restless
and would crawl out from under the
covers. Wed push him down un-
der; we used all manners Of ways to
impress him that he had to stay
under, from light spankings, talks,
scolding, loving him, talking or
reading stories, or singing to him.
We had to be sure ne stayed under
for he was subject to colds at the
slightest exposure To this day,
when he takes his hours rest,
whether he sleeps or just rests,
which he hates, he has to have a
sheet over him.
Ice Box Rolls-This is the combi-
nation of two recipes. Since there
are only three Of us and only bake
half dozen rolls a day these last
for almost week. In bowl put 8
tablespoons of shortening. Pour
over this cup of scalded milk, being
sure all the shortening melts, and 2
tablespoons OF sugar. Set aside and
let cool to lukewarm. In another
bowl sift S cups OF -four, teaspoon
of salt. In "a cup of lukewarm
water dissolve / cake of yeast (be
sure it's lukewarm or almost cold so
as not to kill the yeast. Two eggs
we'll beaten, pour all liquids to-
gether and stir into -four a little at
a time until you have ball of
sticky dough. On board with very,
very little flour, enough to keep
dough from sticking to your hands,
punch down. Place in a bowl and
let tighten up for 10 minutes. In the
meantime you can get all the
utensils used, washed and put away.
Place dough in a bowl (that has
lid, that is creased, also grease
dough. Place a double thickness of
wax paper over bowl, then lid, wet
a cloth, wrap around bowl and place
in refrigerator. on coldest shelf.
Should be at least so degrees. Keep
cloth damp at all times.
If dough rises, punch down and
put back. Next day cut desired
amount off, place in creased muffin
tins. Cover with cloth. Place pan
in warm nondrafty place. Let rise
to 11a hours or until double In
bulk. Bake in preheated 400-degree
oven for about 10 minutes or until
the top is a golden brown.
AS you know. for rolls you pinch
off and roll into small balls, so just
to be different. and because my son
likes them different, in two cups I put
two small balls in each cup. In the
next two cups I put small balls in
each cup. The next two cups I put 4
small balls in each cup. After max
ing this recipe once week for six
weeks I really got on to the hang
of it, My rolls are as light as
feathers even when left cold and
reheated.
CLOTHING FOR DUTCH
FAMILIES?
From Mrs. J. E. NJ, Washington J
I wonder If any of the readers OF
the Clearing House would care to
send clothing or food to some needy
Dutch families? I have been send
ing parcels to several families in a
small village in one of the provinces
and the principal of the school there
has asked me if I can help several
very poor families. AS have at
present sent all the clothing I have
collected, I cannot do very much.
[ can vouch for the fact that they
are quite needy. If any one could
help them, I know they would be
most grateful. They appreciate
one does for them very
much. Any one who is interested
can call me at Oliver 5252 and I
can give them further particulars.

SOUR DOUGH PANCAKES?
EASY PUDDING.
From Mrs. J. D. w, Washington.) J
would like the recipe for old
fashioned sour dough pancakes and
biscuits and how to keep the starter.
Also, If one Of you would happen
10 have a recipe for Swedish PAN
cakes, I'd appreciate very much.
The same holds true for baking
powder biscuits.
I would like to make my wee
to the RICH. I have
4 very delicious pudding that can
be adapted to any standard pudding
recipe. All I do is to mix all in
gradients except the eggs and cook
IS usual. Then I pour the pudding
slowly into the beaten egg yolks
and return to the stove where I
cook it 2 minutes longer. Then I
remove from heat and add the egg
whites stiffly beaten. This makes
the pudding much more fluffy. IT
YOU wish to make it extra rich and
fluffy, withhold n cup milk from
the pudding, and, after it is cooked
add u cup cream which has been
whipped until stiff. For extra gala
occasions, I prepare q plain vanilla
pudding as I have mentioned above
