/ CRESCENT ROLLS 2 cakes compressed yeast 3/4 cup milk (scalded and cooled to 80°) Vz cup sugar V2 cup shortening (part butter for flavor) % tsp. salt 2 eggs (or 4 egg yolks plus 2 tbsp. water) 4 cups sifted all-purpose flour Crumble the yeast into a bowl. Add V4 cup of the lukewarm milk (80° F.). (If room and flour are cooler than 80° F., use milk a trifle warmer than 80° F. If room and flour are warmer, as in hot weather, use milk cooler than 80° F.). Add 1 tbsp. of the sugar, and stir to dissolve completely. Cream shortening, add remaining sugar and salt gradually, and cream thoroughly. Blend well-beaten eggs (or egg yolks and water) into the yeast mixture. Blend egg-yeast mixture into creamed mixture.

Remove dough from bowl. Round up on a lightly floured board. Cover with a damp cloth, and let stand 15 minutes (to loosen up). Divide dough into 2 equal parts.

Name Street City State "I lived in a haunted house . . ." It was just like seeing a horrible ghost — everytime I opened that linen closet. There were my clothes all washed and ironed — and there was that dingy shadow of tattle-tale gray. It simply haunted me. I never dreamed my weak-kneed soap was to blame until . . . The lady next door asked me to wash the Fels-Naptha way. "Try the golden bar or the golden chips," she told me. "Either way, -Fels-Naptha Soap brings you richer, golden soap teamed with gentle dirt-loosening naptha. And those two busy cleaners get the grimiest, tattle-tale gray dirt." Well, I was so frantic I rushed to the grocer's for that big, golden bar of Fels-Naptha Soap. And do I thank my lucky stars! My washes now look like a million — so sunny-white and sweet-smell ing! I'm so proud of my curtains and clothes and linens, I just love to have folks come into the house. And, Jim . . .well ... if you could see how he hugged me last night, you'd know he's proud oime! Golden bar or golden chips FELS-NAPTHA BANISHES "TATTLE-TALE GRAY" Wmi P. S. Use the Fels-Naptha bar for bar-soap jobs. Use Fels-Naptha Soap Chips for boxsoap jobs. The crinkly flakes made of richer, golden soap and naptha. They're huskier — not puffed up with air like flimsy, sneezy powders. Wonderfully sudsy, too — thanks to a new added suds-builder! copyright. 1940 f«ib&c<> 4]
