■emon rind. Cover and cook until ap¬ 
ples are tender. Add a teaspoonful of 
cornstarch to the juice, boil up, and 
pour over the apples. Serve cold. 
Zimmet-Kuchen.—Two cupfuls of 
bread sponge, one egg, half a cupful of 
sugar, butter the size of a walnut, one 
cupful of warm water. Mi'” these in¬ 
gredients together and ma a dough 
not quite as stiff as for brtad. Let it 
rise well, roll out one-half inch thick, 
let it rise again until quite light. Spread 
(he dough thinly and evenly in a long 
shallow tin. Cover with an egg beaten 
with a tablespoonful of sugar and 
sprinkle liberally with powdered cin¬ 
namon and granulated sugar. The in¬ 
gredients on the kuchen will melt and 
run together into a delicious candied 
top. Serve by cutting into strips one 
inch wide. 
Lebkuchen.—Take a cupful of butter 
and one of sugar, pour over them two 
cupfuls of honey heated to the boiling 
point. Add a generous handful of 
blanched almonds, a grated nutmeg and 
a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Dissolve a 
scant teaspoonful of soda in water and 
add to the ingredients. Mix with flour 
until the dough is as stiff as for ginger 
cookies. Roll out like cookies. Cut into 
oblong cakes and bake until well 
browned.

teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one-half 
leaspoonful of soda, one-half teaspoon¬ 
ful salt, an egg, a cupful of milk, two 
tablespoonfuls of butter, four large ap¬ 
ples. Sift salt, soda and cream of tar¬ 
tar with the flour and rub in the butter. 
Put the beaten egg into the milk and 
mix with the flour. Spread the dough 
one-half inch thick on a buttered pan.

The waist consists of the lining, fronts 
and back. The fronts are tucked for the

a V. The trimming is lace edging 2 V 2

Something About Fastnachts. 
On page 250 I saw that the “Fast- 
nachts-Brotchen,” as they are called, are 
a puzzle to you. These little biscuits 
are served on Shrove Tuesday in almost 
every German household. I will gladly 
solve the mysteries by remitting the 
recipe: 
Mix to a light sponge the following 
ingredients: Three-fourths quart of 
warm milk, one-half pound of sifted 
flour, four ounces of melted butter, one 
ounce of yeast, one-half cupful of sugar, 
one egg, one-half pound of warmed cur¬ 
rants, the grated rind of a lemon, one 
teaspoonful of cinnamon. Set in a 
warm place to rise, when light add 
enough flour to mold into biscuits, place 
them on baking tins and let rise once 
more, then rub over the top with a 
brush dipped in a well-beaten egg. Bake 
in a hot oven. Many prefer to serve 
them warm with butter. 
Illinois. A "GERMAN-AMERICAN GIRL. 
In the “Pennsylvania Dutch” sections 
of Adams and York counties we apply 
the name “fastnacht” to the doughnuts 
or crullers which are cooked in boiling 
lard. They are made of either sweet¬ 
ened or raised dough. I think the term 
comes from the German “festnacht” or 
“feast night,” and was applied to cakes 
of different kinds made for holiday oc¬ 
casions. I may not be entirely right, 
but I hope this will be of some interest.

In comparing Grain-0 and coffee 
remember that while the taste is 
the same Grain-O gives health and 
strength while coffee shatters the 
nervous system and breeds disease 
of the digestive organs. Thinking
