barley flour, teaspoons baking
powder, y teaspoon salt, Il cup
peanut butter, 4 cup sugar. l cup
milk. Sift -four, baking powder,
salt into bowl. Add peanut butter,
sugar, mix well. Add milk. mix
until blended. Bake in creased loaf
pan in 350-degree oven IS to 40
minutes. Better when day old,
then it may cut in thin slices. Makes
nice sandwiches.
Just a hint to the first-time can
ners, picklers, preservers. Place
rubbers on jars before you start,
then there will be no delay when
fruits and vegetables are ready to
put in the jars.
And friend who preserves
everything says cooking two fruits
together gives a marmalade of dif-
ferently delicious flavor than just
one fruit gives. She cooks to-
gether apples and grapes, apples
and ounces, plums and apricotS,
rhubarb and currants, oranges and
rhubarb, in strawberry juice, raSp-
berries and cherries. oranges and
grapefruit. This Is safe rule for
canning sirups, for o light sirup l
can granulated sugar to 3 cups of
water. Medium, ! cup granulated
sugar to cups water. Heavy, l
cup granulated sugar to cup water.
Filling jars with gravy boat is
quicker, easier than with spoon.
Melt the paraffin for jelly In agate
tea or coffee pot, will not drip.
BACK COPY OF THE starr
(From Mrs. P. A. p, Blddensburo.)
Thanking every one for all the
good and Joy I have received from
this splendid page, I wish to ask a
special help If it is at all possible
to get from some kind reader.
There was a picture, also the his
tory, Of the founding of the st.
Luke's Lutheran Church, Colesville
road, Silver Spring, Md, appearing
in last February's Saturday paper
dated either 7th, 14th, 21st or 28th,
1948. I was living with some friends
out of town and asked them to
please save it for me. Sorry to say 1t
must have gotten in the furnace
by mistake. I Immediately called
through the neighborhood trying to
locate a copy, also called some
friends in D. C. and asked them to
get me q copy at The Star, and I
have been going through everybody's
papers I visit since then with no re-
suit. The Star only keeps copy for
80 days, so on returning to D. c. I
was too late then. This is very i'm
portant to me as I helped in small
way to establish the church and my
children were christened there, and
I want it for their baby book, also
other reasons, too, as we loved that
church. Can any one help me in
locating this copy?

HINT TO MOTHERS.
(From Mrs. w. N. H., Washington
I have watched the articles on
keeping baby covered in your paper.
When our children were young we
purchased at the department stores
here in town clips which we tied
to the sides of the crib. These clips
are of metal, then piece OF elastic,
then a string that you tie to the
sides of the crib. This worked. We
also got a pair for the foot of the
bed. Hope this will help some
reader.
