Dissolve soda in a little warm water, stir in syrup, add other ingre- dients in order named. Turn into greased pudding mold, cover tightly and steam steadily fcr three hours. Any little dabs of jelly, preserves, stewed dried fruit or cold rice or oat- meal may be added with good results. — Mrs. H. H. Barnes, Ridgefield, Wash. (There were many variations on this same pudding in the unpublished recipes, and I saw one much the same on the blackboard of the domestic science room in the Woodlawn school on Thanksgiving day, but our judge thought this one from Washington the best and most original of the many.)

44

This recipe of Mrs. Barnes' is one of the very few I have received that goes to the press absolutely without correction of any kind, and the con- servation puzzle is surely solved in this splendid conservation recipe. I only wish she had told us how many it would serve.

powder cans and steam in covered kettle 3 hours. This is good hot or cold and while not rich, tastes as good as real plum pudding. I do not know why graham flour, corn meal or even rye flour could not be used in place of wheat flour though I have not tried it. Perhaps even oat meal or rolled oats could be used. — Mrs. G. L.
