i) IB lufoFniilYooDs ggpWia $11 WHS Sourdough Redivirut ... Arottnd five years ago I was able to make a major move in a long delayed plan to revive the popularity of sourdough hot cakes, biscuits and risin' bread. 6)Th ladies of St. Andrew's church in Seattle made the move possible by allotting me two pages in a cookbook of Puget Sound and Oregon Country re ceipts, to describe the safe and proper management of sour dough. rr But I was able to arouse only an academic interest, as far as risin' bread was concerned. A parcel of young housewives in formed me that modern yeast was so sure and certain they didn't want to risk the stirring of husbandly anger by monkey ing with sourdough biscuits. Even the few remaining logging camp cooks turned thumbs down on the return of the oldtime sourdough barrel. One and all were yeast addicts. But now the Homes Demon stration Agents association is holding its 1955 annual conven tion in these parts, starting Oct. 9. More than 500 of these charm ing and able ladies will come to Seattle from the county offices of the USDA Extension Service and the Land Grant Colleges na- tion-wide, to meet, discuss and resolute, and to see and hear of the worth-while features of the nation's northwest corner. The St. Andrews Recipe ... n The book of recipes devised by the church ladies five years ago is certainly a fine education al feature for the home demon stration experts to know about. To make it known is my own . particular mission in the affair. I'll tell the girls about sourdough hotcakes first. You can start a sourdough batch for a dozen hotcakes with one cup of flour, a cup of very warm water, one-half teaspoon of salt, one teaspoon of sugar. Sift dry ingredients, mix with water, adding more if needed, but keeping batter stiff and strong. Use a large crock, for fermentation will double the volume of the batch. Cover the crock loqeely. Then let the batter swell and bubble for a full 48 fhours in the warmest corner of gthe domicile in 90 degrees of heat, if possible. In the eventide of the second day scoop up a cup of Ihe risen sourdough, mix it with a cup of flour, and let this mixture stand " overnight. Nett morning, whist ling "The Frozen Logger" in cheery notes, add a cup of warm ish water, beaten an egg, sift in yet another cup of flour to which SODA, salt and sugar haveAeen adde. For this batch It takes a teaspoon of soda no more, no less about a quar ter teaspoon of salt, and a fat pinch of salt. Now beat 'er up with a hefty iron spoon or the shank of a peavey. It's tasty to work in- a tablespoon of melted bacon fat. The batter is fit to pour when it is thick as heavy cream. Use a smoking - hot griddle. Then mix more flour and water in thel sourdough crock for tomorrow's hotcakes. You Can Use Yeast ... For sourdough bread and rolls quadruple the recipe all the . way through . four cups of water, etfc A yeast cake dissolv ed in warm water will make the sourdough ready to use in 12 hours instead of 48. Save a fourth of the batch to prime ,the next batch. Stir into your starter one tablespoon of melted fat and cup of flour mixed with a teaspoon of baking soda. Add plain flour tthtil the mix will not absorb any more, then work the dough until it is silky to the touch. Make small loaves, set them in a greased pan, keep in that warmest corner for dough to rise. When the loaves are swell ed to about double the original We it may take between one and two hours, bake. With a right hot oven the bread should be baked in from 40 to 60 min utes. Use the sliver system to test it. Rolls should have dough about three-fourths of an inch thick, with 20 minutes to rise, 20 minutes to bake in a pretty hot oven. How do you like that, home demonstration agents? Monday.

DURUNO (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) Was your charming wife a June bride? Or did you marry her in January and go to Florida on your honeymoon? Anyway, the following is what the bridal calendar has to say about brides. "A January bride will be a pru dent housewife and sweet of temper. A February bride will be an affectionate wife and a loving mother. A March bride will be a frivolous chattermag given to quarreling.

Horses and Women It was Byron who said: "Like Napoleon, I have always had a great contempt for women and formed this opinion of them not hastily but from my own fatal experience. My writings, indeed, tend to exalt the sex: and my imagination has always delight ed in giving them a beau ideal likeness. But I only draw them; as a painting or statuary would do; as they should be." Guide to Guys An Aries (March 22-April 20) man is easy to get.
