Its he xmnings reach far back into English cuiinary history, along with plum pudding and roasts of beef. Our modern improvements (or desecra tions, as the viewpoint may be) are along the line of less meat, no alco hol, and, this year, no sugar. The necessary ingredients of mince meat afe generally cooked meat and meat stock; always sugar, fruits, apices and suet; and sometimes cider or alcoholic liquors. These good things are finely "minced" and mixed together. The modern food chopper j a great aia in tne process. With alcohol added, the mince meat may keep without cooking; but the safe thing, according to most cooks, is to boil the mixture (except the liquor and spices) slowly for 30 minutes with frequent stirring. The cooked mince may be sealed in sterilized jars and kept for a long time. Soured fruit juices, jellies or canned fruits may be added to mince meat, according to an eastern cook ing expert.

Disastrous results of the sudden rise in the cost of milk, which is causing the poor to drop it from the diet of babies and young children, are reported by the experts of the National Children's bu reau, who fear widespread sickness and a rapid increase in infant mortal ity, unless milk is continued in the "eedings. That the situation is desperate is shown in the reports of social work ers during the past few weeks. In New York City. In New York City the mayor's com mittee on milk reports that the total supply has been reduced 25 per cent nid that the consumption of milk in certain parts of the city has been re duced by half. In the analysis of (he milk consumed by 2,200 families it is shown that among them there were 5,4.18 children under 6 years of age. and 2,534 from 6 to 13 years old. The milk estimated to be ade quate for these families was 8,194 quarts, whereas the amount actually purchased was 3,193 quarts. Of 120 families who dropped milk entirely 73 substituted canned condensed milk, and 1,213 of the 1,480 families visited were substituting tea and cof fee. Children under 0 years old were found in 2,148 cases to be drinking tea and coffee. For babies under 1 year old the amount of milk purchased was less than that of last year in more (ban half the families. Twenty-five families with babies have ceased alto gether to buy milk. In Philadelphia social welfare .vorkers report that many of the poorer mothers have practically given j jp buying milk. The children's bureau estimates that every child under 6 should have t least a pint and a half of milk daily. To Meet Situation. To meet the situation disclosed by these reports constant efforts will be made by the children's bureau to in duce families to buy the required amount of milk. Except in cases where the cost of milk is really pro hibitive for the very poor, it is be lieved that families can be educated to realize the absolute necessity of buying milk for their children. That mothers will procure even at a sacri fice that which is essential for their babies was shown in the educational campaign undertaken a few years ago by the New York milk committee to teach mothers the importance of clean milk. Once convinced that baby's life might be the price of cheap milk, even the very poorest in sisted on buying grade A certified milk in spite of the increased cost. That milk will have to be supplied at public expense for families who cannot afford to buy it while the present emergency lasts is the con clusion of the children's bureau.

T. Teaching Filipino Girl At Bokod a Philippine girl with two years' training can earn 25 cents a day, weaving yellow covers, table run ners, or dress materials, says the Christian Herald. The food she eats costs cents a day. She not only earns money for her self and family in addition to taking a complete academic course, but one half the proceeds from her labor, turned into the school fund, has al ready provided the school with a line phonograph, a good collection of records, and the instruments for a 10 piece stringed orchestra, which turns out music that would compare with the best that graduates from a New English finishing school could do. Syrup Gives Energy . Syrup and molasses as well as candy are quickly converted by the human body into heat and energy. When you have griddle rakes with delicious maple syrup for breakfast the syrup gives a great deal more than flavor. Good Buckwheat Cakes mstmas n Gifts FOR "HER"or "HIM" The Gift Supreme The real spirit behind Christmas giving is best expressed when the gift is one to be used and enjoyed. Such are the gifts from this Christmas store. A Trunk, Suit Case or Bag are gifts that please and satisfy our stock is complete in every detail. Christmas shoppers can find here gifts appropriate for all. j ne Duckwneat caKes are made in the same way as the wheat cakes only using buckwheat flour. To be good they must be light and thin. The i-ausage that may be served with them should be slipped from the cases or the loose sausage meat used. Place it in a bowl and season with f.,ff, .. , a nine nneiy powuerea sweet nerDs, a saltspoon of pepper, a half teaspoon J of salt, a tablespoon of Worcestershire 1 sauce, two tablespoons of sweet cream, and the stiffly beaten white of one egg. Beat it thoroughly and form' into flat, thin cakes that will fry quickly. Serve sandwich fashion between two cakes, and each sand wich is a portion. Serve with them a tureen of hot honey, or, if preferred. a thin chestnut sauce. A pound of ausage meat will make ten cakes. The old-fashioned buckwheat cakes. made with yeast and raised overnight, ivcre very apt to become sour, and disagreeable effects often followed their eating. This is entirely obviated dv the use of the baking powder which makes the cakes much more ivholcsome. Many recipes lighten the flour by the addition of a small amount of Hne Indian meal, others add a small quanity of banana flour, but this is t matter ot taste. Nice Potato Waffles Coil enough sweet potatoes so that lien mashed they yield two cups; idd two eggs, a half cup of sugar, 1 cup of melted butter, a pint ot rich link', ana nour enougn to make a I rin butter. If the potatoes seem -osrgy, it is wise to add a half tea poon of baking powder, but if they are light and dry this is not neces sary. Bake the waffles small and serve .liree to a portion, dusted with a little I powdered susrar and lemon inle.

There's But One Safe Way to Buy I keep in close touch with market conditions of food products. I am correctly informed as to the cash and food value of practically every article of table and baking use. My knowledge and close acquaintance with bakinp; materials and their quality and money worth passed on to you in my articles, should aid in the selection of proper foods at proper prices. You have often heard the expression that "water seeks its own level." This same chought might well be applied to merchandise.' Inferior merchandise may find a ready demand when first put on the market but its inferiority is soon found out and its sale usually takes a slump. Hence I have tome to the conclusion that the biggest seller is the best buy. When some certain brand is given a wide preference over all similar merchandise it means but one thing merit has proved it best. I So it follows that if housewives would purchase only merchandise that meets the greatest demand their buying would be far more satisfactory. I have noticed invariably that the demand for a product always verifies the value of a product determined by scientific tests which proves my contention conclusively. Take baking powder. The biggest selling brand on the market today proved to me by the most critical experiments that it is entitled to the preference it hat gained. There are more pounds of Calumet sold than any other brand of baking powder. Usage has proved its luperiority my tents pointed to the same fact. The woman who buys Calumet eliminates all possibla waste. She profits by the ex perience of millions of women who after testing many different brands of baking powder find Calumet best. It is safe to buy because over whelming choice shows the supreme satisfaction it renders the vast majority of housewives. I have made investigations and trips through many plants that manufacture food articles, and I have yet to find a finer and better equipped, more up to date, sanitary plant than that of the Calumet Baking Powder Co. Anyone who will visit this plant will readily understand why they jhould and how they do manufacture baking powder that fills all the requirements. NOTE.
