Heath Drink 2 oranges 2 lemons 2 grapefruit Juice and rind. Grate first 1 tablespoon epsom salt 1 tablespoon cream tartar 1 qt water Mix and keep in refrigerator and shake well each morning. Corn-Cone Pone -- Scald two cupfuls of milk and add one cupful of granulated Indian meal, one teaspoonful of salt and three tablespoonfuls of butter. Cool slightly and add two eggs well beaten and one teaspoonful of baking-powder. Turn into a buttered round earthen dish and bake in a moderate oven from thirty to thirty-five minutes. Serve from dish, cutting in pie-shaped pieces. When I present this recipe I am really thinking more of the children than the unexpected guest. It does taste good when served to them as they come in hungry from school! Quick Biscuit can be made more quickly than any form of bread. Mix and sift two cupfuls of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking-powder, and one half teaspoonful of salt. Work in two tablespoonfuls of butter, using the tips of the fingers, and add gradually, while mixing with a case-knife, seven eighths of a cupful of milk. Drop by spoonfuls in a buttered pan one half inch apart and bake in a hot oven ten minutes.
