Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 204, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 26 August 1912 — The Pancake. [ARTICLE]

The Pancake.

The pancake is ar distinctive American institution. - It is eaten only In secret in our best families. It would be eaten openly and above board were it not that folks of the upper circle have to maintain their dignity before the servants. Properly made, the pancake is a thing of beauty and a joy for the time being. - Improperly made, as it usually is, it is a blight upon life and a harassment to the stomach. A wrongly prepared pancake can stay with you longer than the after effects of pneumonia. If our girls were taught how to make pancakes, civilization would go forward so rapidly that those who are now trying to reform our social structure would be back numbers by day after tomorrow.
