And how easy it is to dress up these good sweet breads with summer fruits! They’ll make their contributio n to good nutri tion, too, for all of them furnish the important B vitamins and iron oi en riched flour. Start the easy breakfast menu with canned or frozen orange juice, and accompany the fresh coffee cakes with a platter of scrambled eggs. Breakfast is certain to be a cheerful starter when you fea ture apple cheese cake, a fluffy coffee cake with a spicy sirupy apple topping. This cheese-fla vored coffee cake can be made the day before the holiday and reheated for service.

I always like this time of year when we can start filling up those empty jars on the cel lar shelves again. Sometimes I think that here at our house we live to eat rather than eat to live, so those jars get empty pretty fast. I would like to share a couple j of favorite pickle recipes with The Frontier readers. These sweet pickles take lots of time but I’ve found them worth the extra effort it takes to make them. SWEET PICKLES Cover cucumbers with salt brine using Vz cup salt to 1 j quart water. Let stand 3 days, j Drain and cover with cold wa ter. Let stand 3 days, draining and covering with fresh water each day. Cut in chunks if de sired. Combine 2 cups vinegar, 2 teaspoons alum. Heat to boil ing. Pour over cucumbers. Let stand 2 days. Drain. Combine 4 cups sugar, 2 cups vinegar with 4 cups of water and and 1 teaspoon mixed spices. Heat to boiling. Pour over pick les. Let stand 1 day. Pour off liquid, heat to boiling again and pour over pickles on sec ond day. On third day heat li quid, pour over pickles which have been packed in jars and seal. These are quick and easy to make. ICE WATER PICKLES Soak cucumbers in ice water 3 hours. Drain and pack in jars. Combine 2/3 quart vinegar, add enough water to make 1 quart, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon celery seed, 1 teaspoon dry mus tard, >/fe cup salt. Bring to a boil, pour over pickles and seal. This amount of liquid will fill 3 quarts of pickles. With 3 children to care for 1 dont’ find much time to read but do enjoy it and poems are a favorite with me. When my oldest boy was tiny, I found this poem and I clipped it out because I think it describes all little boys so well. WHAT ARE LITTLE BOYS MADE OF? What are little boys made of? Snips and snails and puppy dog tails? Certainly not These min iature males are made of won der and stubborn pride, and chuckles and good clean dirt outside. They are made of sweetness that’s 9/10ths guile, and mischief redeemed by an angelic smile. They are made of curiosity and devotion, but mostly they’re made of perpet ual motion. “A BUSY MOTHER” •—tfw— GRAPE LEMONADE Add 2 cups grape juice and 1 cup orange juice to the follow ing recipe for lemonade: 6 lem one, % to 1 cup sugar, 6 cups I cold water, lemon slices.

We had only 1 letter to use today where or- | dinarily we use 2 and give the writer of each a 3-months’ sub scription to The Frontier. Why don’t you write us a letter? Send it to Mrs. Blanche Pease, The Frontier Woman, Atkinson, Nebr. SANDHILL HAL Nothing quite equals the re lief of getting all the kids to bed at night unless it’s stopping the aching of a tooth. If Coolidge were alive today, might it be that he would find some things to say. When Junior writes home from college for more money, that is what is known as a rah deal. Never is a woman more coop erative than w'hen she is help ing a man make a fool of him self. Lots of people who don’t be lieve in any kind of human co operation, scream like heck when there are only 3 legs on the table. A small boy is a noise with an appetite inside. Sgt.
