The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1951-01-04


you will have carefully wrapped up
and stored away the first half of
this century. For many the past
year has been happy and pros
porous one, but for others it has only
meant hardship, i'll health and sor-
row. For these we especially hope
for better days.
Have you been wondering what
to do with those beautiful Christmas
cards you received? Well, here are
several addresses of organizations

When our good friend Mrs. M. L.
McAdams returned from her stay
in Dover, New Hampshire, recently,
she brought me this recipe for
bread, that is very popular in the
New England states. AS soon as l
have the opportunity l will be try
ing it, and l am sure some of you
bread bakers will want to do like
wise.
Oatmeal Bread New EngIan6
2 cups quick Quaker Oats
2 cups boiling water
p cup molasses
- tablespoon salt
/ tablespoon melted butter
yeast cake, dissolved in Y cup
luke-warm water
5 cups bread flour
Add boiling water to oats, let

the bottle, shake, and then use it
for making French dressing.
To improve the flavor of green
string beans, place l or 2 small
onions in the kettle before adding
beans.
When beef or pork liver is tough,
run it through your food chopper
Season and drop by spoonfuls into
hot frying pan.
Stick 2 or 8 pieces of macaroni in
the center of the top of a double
crust pie. The juice bubbles up
these sticks and prevents pie from
