sale, a few cents asked for each, but
the large majority is for free distri
bution. A list of monthly publica
tions may bo had on applying for it;
it will be sent to you every month,
if you ask it. If you ask your con
gressman to havo the list sent to
you, ho will do so. A complete set
of the free bulletins, as well as the
year books, can bo had by sending
your request to the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D C, or
applying to your congressman for
the same. Some of the pamphlets
may be out of print, and a few
pamphlets that you want may cost a
few cents each. The pamphlet,
. "Economical Uses of Meat in the
Home," Bulletin No. 391, is called
Uncle Sam's Cook-Book, and to go
with this the housewife should send
for Bulletin No. 266, which deals
with the preparation of vegetables
for the table. There are others that
are especially useful to the house
wife, and any one interested should
ask for the complete list (not the list
of monthly publications), and choose
what she thinks would interest her.
If you ask it, the pamphlets will be
sent you as they are issued; but
there will be many which will not
interest each individual.

into a loaf, let 'rise again and bake
in a quick oven This may not be
the recipe our friend L. B. L. is seek
ing, but it is tho only one I can find,
just now. If our readers can supply
others, will bo glad to have them.
Brown Bread For each loaf
wanted, take one and one-half pints
of corn meal, pour boiling water on
it to scald it properly, stirring so as
to make smooth batter; let stand
until only lukewarm, then put about
one quart of rye flour on the meal,
and pour in a bowlful of emptyings,
with a little saleratus dissolved In a
gill of water, kneading In more flour,
to make to tho consistence of ordi
nary bread dough. If yeast is used,
put a little salt in tho meal; the
emptyings referred to is "salt-risings,"
as for salt-rising bread. Form
into loaves, let set until raised light,
in a cool place in hot weather, and in
a warm place in cold weather; then
bake two hours. If the dough is too
soft, it does not rise good. It should
be made slightly stiller than white
bread. It should be mostly rye meal,
rather than corn meal. This is the
old "Yankee brown bread" recipe.
In answer to several questions:
Wheat meal, especially If ground
coarsely, swells considerably In the
dough, and therefore the dough
should not at first be made quite as
stiff as that made of fine white flour;
when it is raised, if it is found too
soft to mold well, a little more meal
may be added. Dough made of wheat
meal (whole wheat flour) becomes
sour quicker than that made of fine
flour, and requires a hotter oven and
longer baking than that of wheat
flour, and must not be allowed to
stand so long after being mixed be
fore baking.
Contributed Recipes
Spinach Wash and pick over tho
quantity of spinach you wish to use,
and throw It Into boiling water; when
it haB boiled ten minutes, drain and
chop- it. Meanwhile, chop fine a bunch
of spring onions, fry them nicely in
butter, then mix with the spinach.
Put a large tablespoonful of butter
in a sauce pan, put into this the
spinach and onions, season with a
little salt and pepper, and add a cup
ful of rich brown gravy. Let the
spinach stew fifteen minutes or lon
ger in the gravy or stock, until the
liquor has been pretty well absorbed,
and while this is doing, fry six or
more slices of bacon and six 'eggs,
turn the spinach out on a hot platter
and place the eggs and bacon around
it. Mrs. J. R. M., Ark.
Another Way This is a nice way
to serve spinach in a course by itself:
Wash, boil and drain and chop the
spinach as above directed, and sim
mer a few minutes in some butter
and a little salt; place a circle of
thin slices of well buttered toast (a
slice for each person at table) on a
warm platter; on each slice put a
cupful of spinach neatly smothed
into shape, and press the half of a
hard boiled egg into the top of each
mound, leaving the cut part of the
egg uppermost. Mrs. J. R. M., Ark.
Lemon Butter Beat well together
three eggs, on cup of whit sugar,
butter the size of half an egg worked
to a cream, and the juico and grated
rind of one lemon. Put the mixture
in a double boiler, or in an enameled
basin set in a pan of boiling water,
and stir constantly until thick. Nice
for filling tart-shells or layer cake,
and for small cakes which ar split
apart and filled with this butter.
Mrs. J. R. M., Ark.
To remove warts, take sulphur
sub., five drams; concentrated acctlo
acid, two and one-half fluid drams;
glycerine, two fluid, ounces. Mix
well and apply the paste to ih wart
on a small piece of linen, or spread
on with a brush at' night; wash off
in the morning. This is said to be
a sure cure.
Talks With Commoner Readers No. 5
In these days of high prices, it is gratifying to observe that
greater care Is being oxorcised by all classes of purchasers in en
deavoring to secure articles that aro reliable and really worth tho
money paid for them.
Away back in the paBt, buying and selling was a battle of tho
wits tho buyer and tho seller trying to outwit each other. If ono
could cheat tho other ho believed ho had a perfect right to do bo.
Tho ancient maxim of law, "Let tho buyer bowaro," was tho
recognized rule of trade, and if people wore deceived or imposed
upon by the seller in any way "amounting Co less than actual fraud,
or even through lack of good judgment, there was no recourse but
to profit by tho experience.
But the modern business man, tho ono who advertises and has
a reputation to sustain, is teaching thya world that tho squaro, frank,
satisfaction-guaranteed-or-monoy-back method is tho most profltablo
business policy.
But not all advertisers practice this policy. Tho average buyer,
to be fully protected from unscrupulous sellers, must yet depend
chiefly on his own information previously acquired from some
authentic source. Thus forewarned, ho may enter tho market with
comparatively little danger of being worsted in tho bargain.
When you deal with Commoner advertisers you havo this assur
ance of protection, because no advertiser is admitted to these columns
unless reported reliable. If there is anything you want or need, now
or in the future, be sure to write Tho Commoner advertisers. You
will get a square deal. Why not do It today?
