Two cups of light wheat dough, one of sugar, half a cup of butter, two
eggs, half a teaspoonful of soda, one grated nutmeg, two teaspoonfuls
of ground cloves, two of cinnamon; stoned raisins can be added, half a
cupful; mix all together. This makes one loaf.
Neatness is essential in cooking. Wash your hands often. Baking badly
spoils the best of cake and bread. Learn of an experienced person the
proper degree of heat.
=POLITENESS.=
We will give a few simple rules, which we hope all will read and
remember.
1. Talk but little in the presence of your elders, unless
spoken to. Learn to be a good listener.
2. Never enter a room, church, or hall first, with an
elder person; let them go _first_.
3. On entering a house or room, always speak _first_ to
the _lady of the house_, and always take leave of her _first_.
4. Never take the most comfortable seat or position
in a room, if there are older persons present.
5. _Let the golden rule Jesus Christ gave us ever be
your rule of action._
