' To M D- of,Lancaster comes
another answer on how to keep
brown sugar moist and work
able. Last week the Women’s
Page carried a reply from Mrs.
Conrad Dupler of R 2 Elizabeth
town.
This week, a letter from
another Elizabethtown reader,
Mrs J Emmert Herr of RD 1
Her answer is.
To keep brown sugar from
getting hard and lumpy,
put it in your metal bread
box or drawer immediately
after opening. The moisture
in the bread keeps the sugar
from getting hard and
lumpy. I do this and have
had no trouble since.
Mrs Herr adds a cake recipe,
which leaves the baking time
and temperatures up to the read
er If you’re a well-experienced
cake baker and there are
many in Lancaster County
you'll know the answer.
BUTTERMILK CAKE
Two cups sugar
Three-quarters cup shortening
Two eggs
Two,cups buttermilk
Three cups flour
Six tablespoons cocoa^
Three tablespoons soda
Pinch of salt
One tablespoon vanilla

“As I do a lot of cooking, gar
dening, etc-, I do love the paper,

‘am enclosing a few household
hints which I use and would
like to share with others.”
Mrs. Aston is a member of
Farm Women’s Society 22, "and
here are her
HOUSEHOLD HINTS
When hard-cooking eggs, add
one tablespoon water lor each
egg used, plus one tablespoon
for the pan you are cooking
them in Bring to a quick boil
and then turn heat off Let
stand approximately 25 minutes.
There will be no dark ring
around yolk and eggs will be
cooked beautifully for casserole

Give Me a Rose Today
(Contributed by Mary W. Shaeffer, 43 South Market
Street, Elizabethtown, Pa.)
I would rather have one little bud,
From the garden of a friend,
Than to have the choicest roses
When my stay on earth shall end
I would rather have loving words
Which 'may now'be said to me '
Than kindness when my heart is still
And-this life has ceased to be.
I would rather have a loving smile
Fromfriends I know are true
-Than tears shed ’round my casket.
When this world I bid adieu.
Bring me all your roses today,
Whether red, pink or yellow;
I’d rather have my roses now
Than a dozen sprays tomorrow.
-—Selected.
(Note: The water that"is'
left mi the pan can be used
to water your house plants,
and they will benefit from
minerals it contains from
egg shells.)
When making filling for lemon
meringue pie, mtead of grating
lemon rind, peel the' lemon in
thin, long pieces if possible and
add to the filling before cook
ing. When filling is ready to
take off stove, cool as usual, then
when ready to fill * pie shell,
take out lemon rind, using a
rubber scraper to clean filling
off peeling.
When cleaning electric
beaters. have a rubber
scraper with slits cut in it,
and slide each blade of
beater through the scraper.
Thanks, Mrs Aston for a nice
letter, and for some excellent
Household Hints. Can any of
our readers supply more each
