WOMEN’S WORLD

HONEY FOR COLD DAYS. Give the children honey sometimes during the cold days. It is nourishing and good for sore throats and cold. A piece of oatcake with a wee bit of butter on it and spread with honey, is as good a tonic as you can got. A little honey mashed up with lemon juice is an excellent thing for softening the throat and chest, and keeping anyone who has a cold from coughing. Apples with honey cake make a delicious cold sweet. Peel and core a number of large cooking apples, cut them into thick round slices. Spread honey over them in a fire-proof dish, pop into the oven, and bake until the apples are well cooked. When ready grate a few Brazil nuts over the dish and serve it cold. A large cupful of honey in the corn!) makes a most refreshing drink if you squeeze two or three lemons over it and stir in enough water to mix it, hut keep it thick. This syrup can be drunk with water. As a hot drink on a winter night it is hard to beat when a cold is coming on.
