Honey Regarded as a Luxury Rather Than Standard Sweet.

We seem to regard honey as a luxury rather than as a standard sweet. Its use is supposed to encourage ths consumption of warm biscuits and pancakes, and while we are endeavoring to economize on food this is thought undesirable. Little use is made of honey in cook ing, examination of half a dozen cookbooks disclosing a single recipe In which honey was a /actor. But some years ago apiarists circulated leaflets s embodying directions for making use qf honey instead of sugar in cakes, cookies and other concoctions known to housewives, several of them distributing samples as corroborative evidence.T 7 ~~ Instead of giving children so much candy, which Is often adulterated, natural graving might be satisfied by a sweet which comes to the table in a pure and wholesome form, not added to or subtracted from by any chemical process. The use of butter might be diminished by serving honey, for to use butter and honey together Is to “paint” the Hly-gastroDomlcaUgt—* Exchange.
