The Rural Patterns. 
A simple loose coat is always becom¬ 
ing to little girls, and No. 6308 could 
be made up handsomely in a variety of 
materials. It would be very attractive 
in the fashionable shepherd's check, 
with a piping of bright color bordering 
the braid on collar and cuffs. The coat 
is made with fronts and back, there 
being only shoulder and under - arm 
seams. There are patch pockets with 
6308 Girl’s Double Breasted Coa& 
8 to 13 years. 
pointed over-laps that are exceedingly 
smart and buttons are used to trim 
the back. Whether the high or shawl 
collar is used it is joined to the neck 
edge. The quantity of matenial re¬ 
quired for the medium size (10 years) 
is 4*4 yards 27, 3)4 yards 44 or 2*4 
yards 52 inches wide, with 1)4 yards 
of braid. The pattern 6308 is cut in 
6311 One-Piece Yoke Dress, 
4 to 8 years. 
sizes for girls of 8, 10 and 12 years of 
age; price 10 cents-. 
A pretty warm weather frock is 
shown in No. 6311, and" the pattern in¬ 
cludes bloomers, which may be used* 
or not as desired. ' Many sensible 
mothers replace petticoats with bloom¬ 
ers of the same material as the dress, 
for all general wear. The’ dress con¬ 
sists of the full front and backs which I 
are gathered and joined to the square 
yoke. It is buttoned all the way down 
the back and consequently can be | 
opened out and laundered with the - 
greatest possible ease, and the belt con¬ 
fines the fullness at the waist line. 
Whether the sleeves are long or short 
they are gathered into bands. The high 
neck is finished with a standing collar, 
the square neck with a band of trim¬ 
ming. The bloomers are simple circu¬ 
lar ones without fullness at the belt. 
The quantity of material required for 
the medium size (6 years) is 5)4 yards 
24, \Yi yards 32 or 3% yards 44 inches 
wide with 2% yards of banding. The 
pattern 6311 is cut in sizes for girls of 
4, 6 and 8 years; price 10 cents. 
Keeping Salted Corn. 
Tell Mrs. W. R. S„ page 375. who 
had trouble with her “salted corn” that 
I tried the same recipe last Fall and 
mine kept perfectly til] April l, when 
we used the last. I consider that one 
recipe worth the price of the paper. I 
must add that I changed the cloth and 
put fresh salt on top of jar the middle 
of the Winter. mrs. d. o. k. 
Hot Milk Sponge Cake. 
Two cups sugar; one cup boiling 
milk; two cups flour; three eggs; one 
teaspoon baking powder; flavor. Beat 
sugar and eggs (yolks and whites sepa¬ 
rate) very light, then add the cup of 
boiling hot milk. Pour slowly, stir all 
the time until all the milk is added. 
Add the flour sifted and lastly the 
beaten whites, or add the whites just 
before the flour. I always make a 
tester first in a baking powder can lid, 
as the different grades of flour do not 
always act alike. This recipe makes two 
nice cakes. a new subscriber. 
Oatmeal Bread. 
I read on page 210 a recipe for oatmeal 
bread by Adah Colcord Barnes, but want 
to know if it is raised and handled like 
wheat bread. I wish to try it. but do not 
want to make a failure. mrs. f. l. 
Take six quarts of common wheat 
bread flour in your bread-pan. Scald 
one pint of milk and cool with one pint 
of water. Add and dissolve a yeast 
cake. Pour this together with a quart 
cooked oatmeal, one cup molasses, a 
little salt and a little shortening, into 
the flour. Stir together. Do not make 
quite as stiff as white bread, and bake 
in a rather slower oven, after it has 
risen just like white bread. No knead¬ 
ing is required—simply mold into shape 
for the pans on a well-floured board.

The Best Jar 
For All Kinds 
Of Preserving 
bears the name “Atlas." Use Atlas brand 
Jars and much of the uncertainty and trouble 
of preserving time will disappear. Atlas jars are 
better glass; have stronger tops; 
__ seal surer and are more convenient to fill and 
empty than any other name or make of jars. The 
ATLAS 
E-Z Seal Jar 
(Lightning Trimmings) 
is an especially good one. Machine-made and there¬ 
fore perfectly smooth at the top—No danger to the 
hands and no particles of glass to fall inside when using 
the E-Z Seal Jar. It has a wide mouth and takes in 
large fruits without cutting or crushing them. The 
ATLAS SPECIAL MASON 
also has a wide mouth and is an equally good jar, 
but closes with a screw cap. 
If your dealer cannot supply these jars, send $ 3 , and 
■we will express prepaid thirty ( 30 ) quart size Atlas E-Z 
Seal Jars to any town having an office of the Adams or 
U. S. Express Co., within the States of Pennsylvania, New 
Jersey, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, W’est 
Virginia, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana or Michigan, or we will 
quote delivery prices in other portions of the United 
States by freight or express.

Sent free to every woman who sends us the name of 
■ her grocer, stating whether or not he sells Atlas Jars.
