powder) flour to roll soft. Mix as
,for cake, 'beating soda into the
Bream until it foams. Roll. as set
as possible and eprinkls sugar over
the tup and bake .iavery slow oven.
If the dough is allowed to stand fif-
teen minutes before rolled aud the
board and rolling pin are well
floured they can be handled much
softer than would be imagined and
a better cooky will result.
Jumbles.—One cupful butter, two
cupful milk, one-half teaspoonful
vanilla, flour to roll. Sift sugar
over. top and bake in a moderate
oven,
Parker house Rolls.—Grate two
large potatoes, add one tablespoon
sugar, one teaspoon salt and one
and one -halal pints boiling water.
Stir until sm,00rh like starch. Soak
one yeast cake in a half cup of luke-
warm water, When dissolved, add
to potato nti.Lture after it is 0001.
Let this stantl one day and one
night. In the morning take one
pint of this mixture, add one pint
of lukewarm water, two large table-
•spoons of lard melted, two tea-
spoons of salt, onehalf cup of su
gar and flour to make a soft dough.
Let this. rise about three hours, or
until three ' tunes its bulk. Let rise
again until ' nik is trebled. Work
down again, then knead an board,
roll with rolling pin and out into
rounds with a 'biscuit cutter. Press
through"c•entre with back of silver
knife, butter one-half with melted
butter and fold over like a pocket --
book. Let rise until light and bake
fifteen minutes in moderate 'oven.
This will make two and • one-half
dozen rolls.

and one-half pints of lukewarm wa-
ter and white flour. Let rise over
night and add one-half graham and
one-half white flour to make it stiff

FAITHFUL CANADA,
By W. ;its; Savages. •
You have heard of the call to arms,
sir,
Of Canada, loyal land true,
To fight for the mother eoaentr'y, •
Under, the Red, White and Blue..
And you noticed how .well they re-
sponded,
The bravest of .Canada's sons,
Were ready, aye, ready when called
for, •
And anxious to shoulder their
guns.
Unmindful of what lay before them,
On battlefields " over the foam.,
They decided to fight for Odd Eng-
land
And forfeit the conalotrts of home.
They carne fromthe town acid the
country ,.
To make one fine, .glorious ',stand,
For liberty, justioe and freedom,
The pride, of their native land.
T'was a sight that would fill you
with pride, sir,
To ,see the brave boys go away
To the camp at Quebec where they
drilled then
And got them : in shape for the
fray.
Each heart was as lighters school

Not a eign of regret did they
show.

The drunkenness, of the Germans
in France and Belgium has been
particularly st`i2•prisingto many
British people who have visited
Germany and 'come home to report
that you never see drunken men
there. Again and again has one
heard the depressing comparison
with our own country drawn. But
the impression as to German so-
briety, says a writer in the London
Daily Chronicle, largely rests up-
on the fact that the ,average Eng-
lish tourist confines himself to the.
front streets of German towns,
where the police areactive in pre-
serving appearances. A bicycle tour
in South Germany a few years ago
revealed the truth to me. We saw
plenty of the back,sttreebs and slums
that marked the enemy's position
in entering and leaving the towns,
and I know no place in Britain
which need fear comparison in the
matter oasobriety with anyof those
