9.—LOAF CAKE.
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.
