Now that the task of fixingschool luteches is in full swing, the children are insisting on home-made cookies. There are a hundred, and one different varieties of cookies, crackers end wafers to be bought at the grocery stores these'days, and at first thought it would seem foolish for the busy farm woman td use her 'precious time to make the crisp homeenade dainties, but there is a difference in the taste, and in this difference hes ,the charm. .of the "cookies like Mother used to make." The school lunch seems in- coinplete without them, and nothing quite takes the place of them. They are easy to make and convenient to serve for light refreshments when the Wornert's Institute meets. The modern cook should know that the cookies are much better it the dough is thoroughly chilled before using; this leaves the butter hard and so does not require so much flour. The Jess flour used, the better the cookies are. The oven must be watched care - ,..rete Italy, 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,et 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 arid two well-lapien eggs. Sift six teaspoonS" of baking powder witlei four cups Mitch of er as iee,ieetied. to make a dough -that will roll out; of some kinds of hour, thew:hole four cups will be need- 1.eAfter 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 ehredded cocoanut and press lightly. Bake in quick oven. These cookies shoulct be rolled about half an inch thick. ;agar cookies—Cream two-thirds of ae up of butter, and one cup of sugar, azi'd one-half cup 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 a molasses, one-half cup butter, one- half cup hot water in which one lel - teaspoon of soda has been dissolved. , Mix with one rounding teaspoon of ginger and enough flour to make a dough that can be rolled out half an inch thick. Grandma's ginger snaps—Mix thee.- . oughly, one cup of molasses with two- thirds cup of lard, one egg, one cup oe 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 5,s big as a marble till round; place in a pan two inches apart. Care rnuet be taken not to get too much flour. le CHEERFUL OBEDIENCE.

More than once WHY NOT A DUMB WAITER? • A labor-saving built-in fixture that ,shojild 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 a great step -saver, but to a certain extent it will take th,a.eglese. efeaeeice-eleex.-- .-Seeliter 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 tour, corner posts, attached to the bottom of the dumb -waiter, will rest on the cellar floor. Thus the bottom of the dumb-evaiter will be a few 'feet up from the cellar floor. The top of the waiter reaches the kitchen floor ,and should be finished the„„eame as the kitchen floor. Thus when the waiter is in the cellar the top fills the kitchen floor -opening. Tveo 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. A POPULAR STYLE FOR THE "LITTLE MAN" We might spend the week -end at the place," he said.
