Oatmeal Mush

Put one breakfast cupful of coarse oatmeal into the top part of a double boiler with a teaspoonful of salt and nearly one quart of boiling water, boil over the fire for ten minutes, stirring all the time with a wooden fork. At the end of that time place the upper boiler in the one containing hot water and cook for an hour if preferred soft, but if liked dry, cook for three hours. Just before serving remove the cover from the top boiler, stir the contents once and leave it for a few minutes so that the steam may escape.
