Sour Milk Layer Cake. 
In the Summer of 1911 you priuted a 
recipe for sour cream layer cake. I re¬ 
member it called for four eggs, one cup 
cream and a few raisins. I mislaid 
the paper and it got away. Could you re- 
Mint the recipe? My family thought it 
the best cake they ever ate. mrs. c. b. 
T his is the recipe, which calls for rich 
creamy sour milk. Cream one cupful of 
nitter with two cupfuls of sugar, add 
tout egg yolks and a cupful of the rich 
soui milk. Sift three cupfuls of flour 
"it'll a scant teaspoonful of soda sev- 
cra. times, then stir the other ingre- 
ier.ts into it. Add raisins and citron 
an “ fold in the whites of four eggs. 
Bake in layers. 
The Wise Woman Says. 
We have been speaking of a mother 
who had emphatically quenched her 
son’s desire to buy a mandolin. 
“It is strange,” remarked Mrs. Sage, 
“how little some people realize the safe¬ 
ty that lies in being occupied. Now I 
have heard it said, and I fully believe, 
that almost the only reason why young 
people in the country ever go wrong is 
for lack of pleasant ways of using their 
superfluous energy. ‘Oh I’ll take care of 
their energies!’ boasts the hard-headed 
old father who knows of 50 jobs waiting 
for a leisure moment. But he cannot do 
it, because work will not fill the needs 
of youth and ambition, at least not the 
work that is wholly planned by another. 
Youth wants to do something of its own. 
Its needs cannot be met by work alone, 
for it must plan and set its own stents 
along some line or it will turn sour and 
restless. 
“Fathers and mothers in the city see 
the many temptations set to catch the 
feet of those who have not the stability 
to turn from them. They fancy that if 
they and their children were away from 
it all virtue would be ea?y and their 
fears for a headstrong son or daughter 
set at rest. But would the child who is 
difficult to manage^ acquire a meek and 
gentle spirit and be content wi h v the 
diversions of which papa and mamma 
approve just because of being removed 
to the country? I would be willing to 
wager that if one in ten among city 
mothers spends hours of anxiety over 
wayward sons, then one in every five in 
farm homes has as great cause for 
worry. For where there is a natural out¬ 
let for the social instincts among other 
well-behaved young people the restless¬ 
ness of youth spends itself without 
harm. If boys and girls have good soci¬ 
ety they are not nearly so inclined to 
to seek questionable companions. 
“Now music is one of the best and 
safest of companions. It fills up time 
pleasantly, offers a field for improve¬ 
ment and helps to keep a boy or girl 
from discontent and vacant longings. 
Reading or the pursuit of any hobby, 
the use of a good driving horse, chances 
to travel even in a small way, anything 
that lets youth broaden its outlook and 
fill in the odd moments pleasantly 
makes, on the whole, for safety in mor¬ 
als and for mental well being.”

HER “BEST FRIEND” 
A Woman Thus Speaks of Postum. 
We usually consider our best friends 
those who treat us best. 
Some persons think coffee a real 
friend, but watch it carefully awhile 
and observe that it is one of the mean¬ 
est of all enemies, for it stabs one while 
professing friendship. 
Coffee contains a poisonous drug—caf¬ 
feine—which injures the delicate nervous 
system and frequently sets up disease in 
one or more organs of the body if its 
use is persisted in. 
“I had heart palpitation and nervous¬ 
ness for four years and the doctor told 
me the trouble was caused by coffee. 
He advised me to leave it off, but I 
thought I could not,” writes a Wis. lady. 
“On the advice of a friend I tried 
Postum and it so satisfied me I did not 
care for coffee after a few days’ trial of 
Postum. 
“As weeks went by and I continued 
to use Postum my weight increased from 
98 to 118 pounds, and the heart trouble 
left me. I have used it a year now and 
am stronger than I ever was. I can 
hustle upstairs without any heart palpi¬ 
tation, and I am free from nervousness. 
“My children are very fond of Postum 
and it agrees with them. My sister liked 
it when she drank it at my house; now 
she has Postum at home and has be¬ 
come very fond of it. You may use 
my name if you wish, as I am not 
ashamed of praising my best friend— 
Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., 
Battle Creek, Mich. 
Postum now comes in new concen¬ 
trated form called Instant Postum. It 
is regular Postum, so processed at the 
factory that only the soluble portions are 
retained. 
A spoonful of Instant Postum with 
hot water, and sugar and cream to taste, 
produces instantly a delicious beverage. 
Write for the little book. “The Road 
to Wellville.” 
“There’s a Reason” for Postum.
