In selecting materials for baking first get a high grade baking powder, for unless properly prop-erly leavened, food Is not palatable Shortening must be fresh and sweet. Sugar should always be cane sugar Watet is equally as good as mily in all articles where a large amount of sugar is used, except for cookies. Larger masses of dough require longer time for rising and baking Bear in mind that baking rules are as Important as measuring rules Do not bake cakes, pudding and such pas-tries pas-tries as short cake dumplings and meat rolls with a hot fire at the start Have a slow oven until the dough dou- blea In bulk, then Increase heat to ha ke and brow n Biscuits, cut cookies and pie pastry-require pastry-require a hot oven.
