COOKIES FOR WAR-TIME. Cookies loom large on the house wife's horizon just at présent for win- ter is near at hand and wherever there are children there must be wholesome, no and delicious cookies to cheer their young hearts and please their palates. 5 In making the weekly supply the men at the front should not be for- botten for they welcome cookies all the year round, just as much as they did 'when theys were" youngsters at home with insatiable appetities. A good scheme is to send the cookjes overseas in old baking powder tins. If well 'sealed they arrive at their des- tination in excellent shape and if the "kinds that mother makes" are good at home how much better they are in the trenches! Wholesome, economical and palat- able--these are the requisites for war- time cookies whether they go overseas or whether they grace the family table this winter.
