DI8HES FOR CORNMEAL DAY.
It is possible to substitutes com
nienl for flour In many dishes. The
only ndvnntngc In
using It in cake
malting is In tho
saving of flour.
In making dough
nuts, however, there
1b an advantage,
for they are much
more tender when
cornmeal Is added.
Indian Meal Doughnuts. Put three
fourths of n cupful of milk In n double
holler, when hot add one and a half
cupfuls of fine white comment; stir
nnd cook ten minutes; add four table
spoonfuls of butter, three-fourths of n
cupful of sugar. Sift one and n fourth
cupfuls of flour with two teaspoonfuts
of Imklng powder n..d a tonsponnful of
fialt, the same of cinnamon. Add those
and two beaten eggs to the meal. Roll
out on a wcll-IIouicd bourd, cut Into
desired shape and fry In deep fut.
Itoll In powdered sugar. A cupful of
mushed potato added to this recipe
makc3 more bulk and also a dough
nut which will keep moist.
Fruit Gems. Cook a cupful of com
mcnl, n teaspoonful of linking powder,
a half cupful of raisins, u half cupful
of currants nnd one-hnlf cupful of
cream; beat thoroughly, add tho fruit
and cream tho last thing. Bake In
well-buttered niuflln pans.
Boston Brown Bread. Take one cup
ful of cornmeal, one cupful of rye
meal, a cupful of grahnm Hour, all
mixed nnd sifted with two nnd a half
teaspoonfuls of soda and n tenspoon
fnl of salt ; add three-fourths of a cup
ful of molasses, two cupfuls of sour
milk, nnd baste , thoroughly. Steam
three and n half hours In well-buttered,
covered molds, lteraove the cov
ers nnd dry off In tho oven. Italslns
may be added If desired.
Apple Corn Bread. Mix two cupfuls
of white cornmeal, two tublespooufuls
of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt,
a teaspoonful of soda, n teaspoonful of
cream of tartar, one and two-thirds
cupfuls of sweet skim milk ; beat well
, nnd pour Into n buttered pun. Lay
on tho sliced apples, using three ap
ples; bnke 80 minutes In a hot oven.
Nuts or bits of meut ndded to corn
meal mush, molded then fried, makes n
most wholesome breakfast dish.
It takes more than one fall to keep
a determined man down; to have failed
once does not muko one a failure; to
havo strayed onco cannot make one a
lost soul.
FOR MEATLESS DAYS.
Use olive oil or corn. oil in cooking,
the olive oil prevents waste of tissue
and lessens the amount
of protcld foods needed.
Olive oil as a food has
long been known and
valued by physicians. In
cases of nervous trouble,
malnutrition, and anae
mic conditions, tho pure
olive oil may bo relied
upou to accomplish great
results In the way of re
building tissues.
Chopped, cooked beets, reheated In
olivo oil, sensoned with salt and pep
per, make u most sustaining dish. Illce
browned In hot olivo oil, then n little
broth udded to finish looking, an egg
or two stirred in Just before serving
nnd a highly nutritious dish Is the
result.
Those who like old flavors In new
plnces will like to try frying oysters,
which have been drained nnd wiped In
hot chicken fat mixed with bacon fat.
Tho oysters nre not rolled In crumbs,
but nre dropped into tho fat and
stirred until the edges curl.
One-Mlnute Rarebit. Cover the bot
tom of n dripping pan with saltlne
crackers thinly buttered nnd covered
with several layers of very thinly
sliced American cheese. Put on the
top grnto of the oven and brown the
crackers and melt tho cheese. Slip
out on hot plntes, sprinkle with pnp
rikn nnd servo piping hot.
Corn Pudding. Turn a cun of corn
Into a baking dish, cover with u quar
ter Inch layer of grated cheese after
seasoning It well, dust with paprika
nnd put Into a hot oven for 15 minutes.
Serve very hot.
Uso the wnter In which beef tongue
has been cooked for tho water to make
a cornmeal mush, then bits of the
leftover chopped tongue may be ndded
mid a delicious scrapple Is the result,
which will, when sliced and fried,
muko n line breakfast dish,
i Economy Omelet. Heat two eggs,
add a cupful of milk nnd two heaping
tnblespoonfuls of breud crumbs, then
cook In n hot, well-buttered omelet pan
ns usual.
Dates stuffed with nuts nnd served
as dessert at the end of n meatless
meal wilt bo found to muko n good
finish, supplying n large amount of
nutrition.
A Wholesome Gruel. Take two to
bli'spoonfuls of cornstarch, and one of
llnuf, mix nnd wet with cold water,
stir while pouring Into a pint of boil
ing water, let cook 1.ri minutes, then
udd a cupful of rich milk.
MEALS FOR INVALIDS.
Though neatness nnd cure In tho
preparation nnd serving of food nre
Important nt nil times,
thcro is no time when
they mean so much, ns
during tho tiresome days
of Illness. The desire for
food Is not strong nnd
too often repugnant,
mnklng entlng n mntter
of duty rather thnu n
pleasure, nnd It may be
come n misery, if tho
patient lias refined nnd
delicate taste, who hns meals served
In n slip-shod, careless, Ill-planned
manner.
When tho patient Is conllned to her
bod u smnll table or bed tray may hold
her food comfortuhly nnd attractively.
A bedside tnhlo is not always pos
sessed, and tho tray may bo support
ed by boxes or books on each side of
tho patient whatever the table or tray
may bo It should he covered with spot
less linen as line as one can nfford.
whatever one may he able to endure
when well, by tho sight of soiled linen.
It should hover be required of one who
Is III. Things will annoy and cnuso
keen suffering of mind In one who Is
111. which would pass unnoticed by the
person In henlth. A person who Is
111 Is out of bnlanco in mind nnd body,
and should bo treated with every In
dulgence. Small amounts of food should al
ways br served to n patient. It Is far
better for him to ask for more than
to he satisfied by the sight of too
much. Hot tilings should bo hot on
hot dishes, likewise cold foods should
be cold. It Is often n problem to carry
a tray fronf ono end of the house to
tho other nnd keep the food hot, but
a little thought will overcome the dllll
culty. A hot dish placed over the hot
food will keep It for some time. Tea
or coffee If served In a pot, will al
ways stay hot longer.
See that the patient Is comfortable,
If In bed before her tray comes to
her. Most people know tho discom
fort of sitting In n strained attitude
In order to reach food. After tho
m,enl see that no crumbs nre left In
the bed. "One of the minor miseries
of Illness," ns ono writer hns said, and
often the cause of the obstinate bed
sore.
It sometimes takes courage to Insist
that you aro right, but a lot mora to
admit that your are wrong.
GOOD THANKSGIVING DISHES.
When the scarcity andprlco of tur
key makes It unattainable, tho follow
ing dishes will bo
found most satisfy
ing and fully ns
festive:
Boned Leg of
Mutton. Bone the
leg of mutton to
the first joint, 111)

forcemeat; lard it
neatly with small lardons of bacon nn

seasonings ndded. Stuff tho leg with
six tnblespoonfuls of brend crumbs,
two heaping tnblespoonfuls of chopped
bncou, salt, pepper, a pinch of nut

Cornmeal Scrapple. Conk u spilt
pig's bend until tender, remove meat,
cut In hits, season with salt and sage,
add two cujifulH of cornmenl to tho
broth, cook until well done, add the
meat, and mold. Double tho amount
of water should be used and prcpnre

These war time days being deter

CHANGE RATIONS OF CHICKS
Suitable Mixture Recommended for
Youngster of Four Weeks Va
riety Is Needed.
Chick feeds, ns usually mndo up, uro
for small chicks only. A normal chick
of four weeks old has In n lnrge mens-
uro outgrown chick feed. At this age,
If not nlrendy started on something
coarser, n mlxturo something like tho
following should be fed : Ono hundred
ppunds of chick feed, 25 pounds of
wholo wheat, 25 pounds of courso
cracked corn or knflr corn. In a week
or two tho per cent of chick feed can
bo reversed nnd soon entirely omitted.
Tho Important tiling is to chnngo
feeds grndimlly nnd let tho period of
change lap over a week or two. Do
not try to muko tho chnngo by giving
occasional feeds, us of, suy, nil whole
wheat; rnthcr mix tho whent In, ns
indlcntcd in tho ubovo formula. Any
ono grain fed nlono Is not sufllclcntly
balanced to produco proper growth,
nnd, on tho other hand, Is so concen
trated In certuln food elements ns to
bo detrimental to proper digestion.
MALES FIGHT MORE OR LESS
When Yarded Together There Is Sure
to Be Some Scrapping Old Bird
Maintains Peace.
When cockerels nro yarded together
they aro Buro to fight more or less,
espcclnlly toward tho natural mating
and breeding season. If they haven't
enough vigor nnd vim to scrap they
aren't of much valuo as breeders.
On a farm where mnny game chick
ens were raised tho mnturcd young
male birds were kept In small flocks,
half a dozen or so in each yard. To
prevent nny serious Injury tin old male
wns confined with tho youngsters in
euch yard. Ordinarily ho didn't bother
them, but if they started troublo nmong
themselves ho was in tho midst in a
hurry.
IIo was simply hound to innintnln
peaco among them if he had to fight
for It. Ills action soon frlghteiied
them out of their mimic wnr.
Tho plan would probably provo ns
effective with other breeds. If any
youngster had tho temerity to dlsputo
tho "boss" ho would probnbly soon get
tho conceit knocked out of him.
PULLETS GIVEN FREE RANGE
Although Fowls Will Gather Bugs and

If the pullets" uro given freo rnngo

to produce satisfactory results.
