Sift graham, cornmeal, flour and salt together, dissolve soda in water, add to flour and stir in molasses. Fill two-pound greased baking powder cans about two-thirds full of dough. Put on covers and place in rack in kettle. Rack may be made with a few sticks. Have enough boiling wa- ter in kettle to come one-third or one-half way up sides of the cans and put cover on kettle. Bring to a boil on medium burner, place on simmer- ing burner for two hours. Take from kettle, remove lids and place in oven to dry out. This amount will make 1% pounds of bread. The amount of gas given will cook double this recipe, for I always make that much. Sour milk may be added if desired. — Mrs. V. E. Weber, 428 East Thirty- ninth street.
