The Wingham Advance-Times, 1940-10-17, Page 10FACE TWO WINGHAM ADVANCE-TIMES Thursday, October 24, 1940 The first prize for the best plate of rolls (8 in assorted shapes) at the 1940 Canadian National Exhibition, Toronto, went to Mrs. Wardlaw Norris, R.R. 3, Bolton, Ontario. And every woman will want to know how she made her rolls, Here’s^, her advice and recipe: “One secret of making good rolls or bread is to keep the temperature right while the dough is rising. Then to regulate the oven so they bake to an even golden colour. Another important point is to use Robin Hood Flour. I have used Robin Hood for four years and I find it is always of the same high quality. Robin Hood Flour makes the dough very elastic and easy to shape into fancy designs. It also makes the rolls very white and fine of texture, Tempting to look at and delicious to eat. Another great advantage of using Robin Hood Flour is that you are always delighted with all the baking you turn out.” PRIZEWINNING RECIPE USED BY MRS. NORRIS 1^2 cups milk, scalded and cooled to 90° F. JL tbsp, sugar 1 yeast cake broken into milk (Compressed or Quick yeast) Make into sponge, and set away until risen to double its bulk.

PHIL OSIFER OF ■ LAZY MEADOWS By Harry J. Boyle “ANNIVERSARY” , One flickering candle on a small White birthday cake. There it was, buffeted about by every draft . . . swinging and swaying to and fro and then straightening and reaching high er. Across from the cake on the table in the high chair sits the object of the celebration . . . Patricia Ann. A man once told me never to look back. But somehow ’the flickering light of the one candle and 'the rosy- cheeked, fair-haired little lady who has now progressed from the .infant class makes one go back. Sometimes it seems so far away ... -and some times it seems so close — that day when the nurse said, ’'“Well, Daddy Phil, you’ve got a fifie baby girl . . and both it and the mother are doing fine."' Can this be the same baby girl? That one* was wrinkled and red , . . and when she' cried it sounded! like one of those dolls that are almost hu man and which cry when you turn them over. She looked small in that shawl . . . "and helpless. And now, look at her . . . smiling as the hired man tickles her toes . . . and pound ing two chubby fists on the shelf of the high chair demanding supper. How we liated that doctor the night fie was roused from his sleep by a frantic voice that said, “Doctor, come quick, the baby’s dying!’’ It seemed hours until his car coasted up in front of the house and he came tripping in With his little black bag. By turns we had been walking the floor . . . while Patricia’s wail grew louder and louder. He fiddled and. fumbled with her and' stroked his chin ... I sup pose to cover his own amusement and tlien said . . . “She’s got a little tummy ache. Give her a little pepper mint water and she’ll be all right." Dubiously the peppermint water was ad'mi'ni'stered, and. wonder of wonders, after a few belches she settled down to sleep . . . and at ten the next morning was still enjoying restful’ slumbers. Then there was teething. First of all, with ideas gathered from solicit ous- friends, we gained the impression! that she would go through life; with toothless gums. But a tiny- white glimmer appeared one morning- after a resttess night, and by degrees more of them have been appearing since then. The walking problem’ was another difficulty. First of all some said she Was too heavy to let stand. They painted verbal pictures of bowed legs that would make a cowboy shudder, Then ther'e was the school of thought firmly convinced in its own opinion that if she didn’t stand- her muscles would become useless. Others would look at you with a glassy stare and say, “Walking?” What could you say but, “No.” They would then purse their lips up into a tight knot ami 'Shake their heads in that terrifying way that can only mean calamity.

NOTES ON HOUSE PLANTS (Experimental Farms News) The chief difficulty encountered in growing plants in the home is the hot, dry atmosphere, writes Miss' Isabella Preston, Division of Hbrifcult-ure, Do minion Experimental Farms Servicer This can be controlled’to some-extent by keeping dishes of water'on the rad iators and spraying the plants with a’ mist-like spray of water. The spraying helps to destroy insects and by keep ing the' foliage of plants free from dust encourages good' growth. Light is another necessity and' a window that has sunlight for several hours a- day is required for most flowering plants, but ferns and' other plants grown for( their leaves will do well without sun. Fresh air is essential but draughts and sudd'en changes of temperature must be avoided. The soil should be- fairly rich and porous so that water drains- out of it easily. A compost made up of 3 parts good loam, 2 parts leaf mould; 1‘. part sand with about a- tablespoonful of bone meal, added to a quart of mixed' soil will suit most plants. All should be- thoroughly, mixe’d and', slightly moistened'.. If new clay' pots are- used', they should be- soaked in water- for- a; time and- ' dhied' before using.. Old' pots should: be thoroughly scrubbed', both i'nsidh and’, out. Before putting in the soil’,, some- broken crocks, should be plaited' oveb the drainage hole. Pots shofijdl not be larger than is necessary- to- hold? the roots. It is. better- to. start & plant in a small pot and then, repot it into a larger one when the roots have filled the small one. When the plants are in active growth, some fer tilizer can be- given. The tablets sold under various names are the easiest to use on potted plants in the home. Glazed pots without any drainage are now used quite extensively for some plants. Cactus and other succu lents which are so popular now do quite well in fancy pots, but do not grow as rapidly as if grown under more natural conditions. 'Sansevieria will keep in good condition for sever al weeks, but will not grow much. Great care is required in watering all plants, especially those grown in glaz ed pots. If plants in clay pots are placed in a pail of wafer so that the soil is saturated accasionally, there will be no danger of the ball of earth round the roots becoming dry. The pots should be allowed to drain so that all surplus moisteure is removed before placing in the window. Plants should be watered often enough to keep the soil moist, but not wet. On ly practice will tell one when to do it. The soil' in glazed pots must not be allowed ot dry out, but it will require less water than that in a clay pot, and if allowed' tc> become sodden, will soon affect the plant. TEA IS FAVORITE / DRINK OF TROOPS Canadian soldiers overseas have de veloped a fondness for tea and are in- bibing in the national beverage of .the Old Country with typical British reg ularity. Tea drinking has become such a custom among the men, in fact, that the overseas organization of the Can adian Legion War Services is putting into operation early next week anoth er mobile van to follow the troops during route marches- and night man oeuvres when they are away from -their own regimental kitchens. Hot tea, which is served' free- of charge,, is greatly appreciated^ especially now that cooler weather- has- arrived'. Justice and truth make man free, injustice and error enslave him.—— Mary Baker Eddy. ’ lli£A£. no othejv' tofiacco JUST LIKE J F7/j7 b.
