Sour Milk Graham Bread. 
Will you give a recipe for making gra¬ 
ham bread with sour milk. 
MRS. E. p. B 
Easy brown bread is an excellent 
recipe in which sour milk is used. This 
recipe will be found in the “Rural Cook 
Book.” For one loaf take one cup of 
sour milk, one cup of sweet milk, one 
teaspoon of salt, one-half cup of mo¬ 
lasses with one teaspoon of soda thor¬ 
oughly stirred in; add one-half cup of 
white flour and about three cups of 
graham flour. Mix so stiff that a little 
dough dropped from the spoon will not 
quickly settle. Put in a deep bread pan 
and bake in a moderately hot oven for 
one hour. If not stiff enough, the top 
crust may separate from the rest of the 
loaf. 
Oatmeal needs thorough cooking to 
be digestible—we mean real oatmeal, and 
not those “flakes” which seem to us to 
have none of the sweetness of the real 
grain. Baked oatmeal is an excellent way 
to prepare this cereal. The day before 
it is to be served stir a pint of oatmeal 
with one teaspoonful of salt into two 
quarts of boiling water. Boil five min¬ 
utes; then turn into a buttered earthen 
dish and cover. Set the dish in a pan 
of boiling water, place in a moderate 
oven and bake for two hours. Then in 
the morning again put the dish in the 
oven in a pan of boiling water and cook 
half an hour. Serve hot. 
6776 Long Coat for Misses and Small 
Women, 14, 16 and 18 years. 
a great variety, but this coat is made 
of smooth finished cloth with collar of 
velvet. The coat is made with fronts, 
back and side backs. The collar is 
pointed to the neck, and both it and 
the fronts are faced and rolled over. 
The sleeves are made with upper and 
under portions finished with cuffs. The 
quantity of material required for the 
16-year size is 5J4 yards 27, 3)4 yards 
44, or 3% yards 52 inches wide with 1% 
yards of silk or velvet for the facings. 
The pattern 6776 is cut in sizes for 
misses 14, 16 and 18 years of age; price 
10 cents. 
The smaller pictures include 6700, 
draped waist, 32 to 40 bust. The quan¬ 
tity of material required for the medium 
size is 3)4 yards 21 or 24, 2^4 yards 32, 
or 2)4 yards 44 inches wide, with 1)4 
yards of lace, 134 yards of banding, 1)4 
Homemade Hop Yeast. 
Boil six large potatoes in three pints 
of water; tie a handful of hops into a 
small muslin bag and boil with the po¬ 
tatoes. When cooked, drain the water 
on enough flour to make a thin batter; 
set this on the stove and scald enough 
to cook flour. Take from fire and 
when lukewarm stir in the potatoes, 
mashed; also a half cup of sugar, half 
tablespoonful of ginger, two tablespoons- 
fuls of salt, and one and a half cake of 
dry yeast, soaked in one-fourth cup of 
warm water. Let it stand in a warm 
place until thoroughly light, then put 
into fruit jars and cover tightly; set in 
a cool dark place. Scald jars before 
putting in the yeast. Two-thirds of a 
cup of this yeast will make four or five 
loaves. I have used this recipe for sev¬ 
eral years, and it is fine, much quicker 
than the dry yeast. I make only half 
the recipe at a time. mrs. j. p. 
One of the vegetarian dishes es¬ 
pecially relied upon to replace meat is 
protose, which is sold ready prepared by 
vegetarian dealers. It can be made at 
home as follows: Soak two cupfuls of 
fine bread crumbs (whole wheat pre¬ 
ferred) in one cupful hot water in which 
dissolve a tablespoonful butter, saltspoon 
of salt and a dash of paprika. Mix in a 
cupful of chopped hickory-nut meats. 
Beat one egg and add to bind the whole 
together. Bake in a buttered mold for an 
hour in moderate oven. Baste with but¬ 
ter and hot water. Serve in slices. Good 
hot or cold. 
You must be sure of two things—you 
must love your work and not be always 
looking over the edge of it, wanting 
your play to begin; you must not be 
ashamed of your work and wanting to 
be doing something else.—George Eliot. 
There are only two kinds of people 
in the world—the people who live in the 
shadow and gloom, and those who live 
on the sunny side of the street. These 
shadowed ones are sometimes called 
pessimists; sometimes people of melan¬ 
choly temperament; sometimes they are 
called disagreeable people; but, wherever 
they go, their characteristic is this— 
their shadow always travels on before 
them. * * * These people never 
bear their own burden, but expose all 
their wounds to others. They are all so 
busy looking down for pitfalls and 
sharp stones and thorns on which to 
step that they do not even know that 
there are any stars in the sky. These 
folks live on the _ wrong side of the 
street. And yet it is only 20 feet across 
to the other sidewalk, where sunshine al¬ 
ways lies.—Newell Dwight Flillis.
