From Mrs, G. r. Arlinoton }


In answer to E. M. B., Silver
Spring. Here are few grace poems
that are nice for children:
God Ia love;
God Is good
And we thank Him
For our food.
And another:
Father of ell. in heaven above
We thank Thee for Thy love,
Our food, our home, and all we wear
Tell of Thy loving care.
Also:
Father, we thank Thee for the night,
And for the pleasant morning light;
For rest and food and loving care,
And all that makes the day SO fair.
Hope these will help.
Now perhaps some one can help
me. At the present time can't
afford a nursery school for my A.
year-old. However, I feel she needs
some training. This will have to be
done by me, and at home. Can any
one help me in such program?

GRACE FOR CHILD.

(From Mrs. Fl. S. DeM., Washington
- For E. M. B., Silver Spring. This
is the grace that my children used
Is years ago:
Thank you, God. for this our food.
For health, for strergth, for every good;
Let mamma to our souls be given,
The bread of life sent down from heaven.
Perhaps the mama to cur souls"
is too abstract for small children:
one of my kiddies used to say "let
manners to our souls be given"
Here is a little thankful song I
copied from Child Life years ago;
We thank you for the flowers SO. sweet,
We thank YOU for the food we eat
We thank you for the birds that sing,
We thank you, God. for everything.

CANS FOR GOODIES;
POUND CAKE; TIPS.

From Mrs. A. w., Washington
In answer to request of j. H. G
of Arlington regarding decoration
of cans for Christmas cakes, can
dies, cookies. etc, would like to sug-
gest methods used by my mother
years ago. She cut strips OF Christ
mas paper just enough wider than
depth of can, SO that folds on
bottom of can overlapped little
and could be securely fastened with
tape. Tape was then covered by
large Christmas seal. Inside OF can
was lined with waxed paper. Top
of can was covered with circle of
matching or contrasting paper and
fastened inside rim with transpar-
>ent tape. The silver-patterned
paper makes an especially attrac-
tive container.
Also for person requesting recipes
for old-fashiored plain pound cake
I have two. one of which might be
one that is wanted. The first is
copied from cookbook left by my
grandmother and may be rather
difficult to follow. 1t reads: Beat
to a cream l pound of butter with
/ pound of sugar. After mixing
well with the beaten yolks Of IL
eggs, l grated nutmeg, glass of
wine, l glass of rose water. Then
stir in 1 pound of sifted flour and
the well-beaten whites Of the eggs.
Bake to g. nice light brown.
The lack of exact ounce measure
ments in the liquids and oven tenn
perature timing make this recipe
rather unsatisfactory in my estima-
ton, but braver soul than I might
try it.
The other recipe have copied
from a very popular modern cook
book. 1t is called Grandmother
Pound Cake and calls for cup
butter, 12s cups sugar, S eggs and
2 cups flour. Work butter until
creamy, beat in sugar and eggs
one at a time. When creamy fold
in flour with spoon. If desired add
| tablespoon carawsy seeds with
-four. Bake in buttered and Toured
breadtin III hours in slow oven 300
degrees. Excellent for electric
beater
If column space permits would
like to pass on tip or two that
might help some one. When lemons
become dry and hard, place in a
hot oven for few minutes. The
heat makes them plump and juicy
again.
