The fact that the groundhog did not see
his shadow and we are to have an early

gest that you prepare to enjoy the com

We are prepared to give you perfect service and

If the family do not nil cat breakfast together, you can
bake a few nt a time. If you arc having hot biscuits for supper,
mix nm! cut out enough more for breakfast. They will be
much nicer freshly baked than warmed over.
Of course you can't do this very successfully with sour
milk and soda or with any of tho old fashioned, single acting
baking powders, but this convenient way of making hot biscuit3
and muffins for breakfast Is entirely satisfactory if you use
E Baking Powder
whieh Is really blenJ of two baiting powders, one of which
begins to give off leavening gas as soon as moisture is added.
The other is Inactive until heat Is applied. The dough will
remain In a partly leavened condition for hours and when
put In the oven will como up Just as light and fluffy
as if freshly mixed.
