A VARIETY OF .COOKIES.
Now that the task of fixing school
lunches is in• full swing, the children
are: insisting on home-made cookies.
There are a hundred and one different
varieties of cookies, crackers and
wafers to be bought at the grocery
stores these days, and- at first thought
it would seem foolish for the busy
farm woman to use her precious time
to make the crisp home-made dainties,
but there is a difference in the taste,
and in this difference lies the charm•
of the "cookies like Mother used to
make." The school lunch seems in-
complete without them, and nothing
quite takes the place of them. They
are easy to make and convenient to
serve for light refreshments when the
Women's Institute meets.
The modern cook should know that
the cookies are much better if . the
dough is thoroughly chilled before
using; this leaves the butter hard and
so does not require so much flour. The
less flour used, the better the cookies!
are. Theovenmust be watched care-
fully, especially for molasses cookies.
The following recipes are tried and
true, easy to make, and not expensive.
Fruit cookies—Cream one cup of
butter, add one and one-half cups
sugar, one-half cup of milk, one egg,
four level teaspoons of baking powder,
a level teaspoon of grated nutmeg and.
one-third cup of raisins or currants
chopped fine. Mix with flour to make
a stiff dough, cut in rounds, wet the
tops with milk and sprinkle with
sugar. Bake quickly.
Plain cookies—Mix one-half cup of
butter and one-half cup of lard with
two cups of sugar, one cup of milk
and two well -beaten eggs. Sift six
level', teaspoons of baking powder with
four cups of flour, and use as much of
the flour as is needed to make a dough
that will roll out; of some kinds of
flour, the whole four cups; will be need -1
ed. After the cookies have been placed
in the pan, press a raisin into the top
of each.
Cocoanut cookies—Beat one cup of
sugar and one cup of thick sour cream
together, add one beaten egg, one level
teaspoon of soda and flour enough to
mix as soft as possible, and roll out.
Sprinkle the top of each cookie with
shredded cocoanut and press lightly.
Bake in quick oven. These cookies
should be rolled about half an inch'
thick.
Svgar cookies—Cream two-thirds of
a cup of butter, and one cup of sugar,
and one-half dup of sour milk. Stir in
one-half of a level teaspoon of soda,
one egg, a little nutmeg and as little
pastry flour as can be used and roll
them out thin. Cut in shapes and
bake in quick oven.
Molasses Cookies—Use one-half cup
of molasses, one-half cup butter, one-
half cup hot water in which one level
teaspoon of soda has been dissolved.
Mix with one rounding teaspoon of
gingerand enough flour to make a
dough that can be rolled out half an
inch thick.
Grandma's ginger snaps—Mix thor-
oughly, one cup of molasses with two-
thirds cup of lard, one egg, one cup
ce sugar, three level teaspoons of soda,
three rounding teaspoons of • ginger,
one of cloves and one of cinnamon.
Add flour enough to roll. Roll a piece
as big as a marble till round; place in
a pan two inches apart. Care must
be taken not to get too much flour;
how it feels to be brought uplike this
by the small son or daughter, and if
we are wise we do not too soon forget.
Truth to tell, there is no' great gulf
fixed between us and the children;
they are men and women in very small.)
editions, and what we enjoy or dislike
is apt to affect the children in the
same way. If we do not enjoy orders,
we cannot reasonably expect the chil-
dren to do so. •
"Let's see if you can do this," holds
a challenge and an opportunity to.
show off that is almost invariably ac-
cepted cheerfully by little folks. And
whatever their motive, the children
acquire a habit of cheerful obedience
that is of great value.
"Help mother do this, will' you,
please?" has a note of companionship
wholly lacking in an order to "come
instantly and do this work." "If we
are going to have time for a story
we'll have to hustle and set this room
in order," adds joy and: anticipation
to a task that is made hateful by a
sharp "Put every one of those toys
where they belong and bequick about
it."
Quite naturally the . children do. not
enjoy orders. It doesn't take much
study to acquire the habit of putting
our requests in a pleasant way and
it means all the difference between
cheerful and reluctant obedience.

WHY NOT A DUMB WAITER?
A labor-saving built-in fixture that
should be found in many homes is the
dumb -waiter. If the cellar is cool a
dumb -waiter operating .between the
kitchen and cellar is not only. ig great
step -saver, but to a certain extent it
will take the place of an ice boss.
Such a waiter can be put into a kit-
chen already built Construct it in
such a manner that when the waiter
is lowered into: the cellar the four
corner posts, attached to the bottom
of the dumb -waiter,, will rest on the
cellar floor. Thus the bottom of the
dumb -waiter will be a few feet up
from the cellar floor. The top of the
waiter reaches the kitchen floor and
should be finished the same as the
kitchen.floor. Thus when the waiter
is in the cellar the top fills the kitchen
floor opening.
Two sides of the waiter should be
screened, so foods are protected from
pests,,and at the same time it provides
good circulation.
If the cellar is not cool enough a
pit may be dug four to six feet below
cellar floor level and cemented on the
bottom and sides.
With this device the housewife will
be spared many trips up and down the
cellar steps.

Some days one touches lightly
As seagulls touch the foam,
Finding no joy, for dreaming
"Of joy that is to come.
Or luring ghosts of laughter
Down dim forgotten ways
Where light winds stir the ashes
Of buried yesterdays.
To=day I have lived deeply,
On currents strong and free
As those that sweep the ocean
This day has carried me.
Where Yesterday is only
.A faint receding shore,
And somewhere lurks to -morrow
An island to explore.
But I am kin to neither;
For me does naught exist
Save wide gray seas of water
And freedom and a mist.
No day has been save this one,
No day shall ever be,
All else I will touch lightly
To keep this memory.

Germans Have Eclipse Data.
German astronomers who observed
the recent eclipse of the sun from a
point in Mexico feel sure their photo-
graphs are the best taken and are has-
tening to the observatory at Potsdam
to develop the plates and work up the
data. It will be remembered that
several expeditions, notably those sta-
tioned at San Diego, Cal., were badly
handicapped by clouds at the moment
of total obscuration.
Prof: Hans Ludendorff, brother of
the German General, was in charge of
the German astronomers, and he will
be assisted by Prof. Einstein, who; has.
left Holland for Berlin, in determining
just what the observations prove. It
will take months, however, for the
'data to be worked up and full conclu
Bions drawn. An American expedition
and one from France also observed
