With the passing Of old times corn
meal has been relegated to the back
ground OF disuse, and the objection is
urged, by way OF excuse, that the
steam ground meal OF the present time
Is so inferior to the water ground OF
that day as TO be almost unit to eat.
This Is only partly true. and. although
the water ground Is undoubtedly the
better and can still be obtained, the
practice of using baking powders for
leavening has done more to Danish
corn bread from the table than any
fault OF the steam grinding, for, while
1T can be leayened quite satisfactorily
with potato yeast, yeast cakes. sour
milk and soda and sweet milk and
cream of tartar and soda, 1t simply re-
fuses to become light and porous and
yield it's aweet, nutty flavor by the
use OF baking powders. The following
recipes have been In constant use for
years In Georgia home. and II the

one to eat 1t again and again, says a
writer In Table Talk.

And now comes howl from the
Sioux Falls Press to the effect that the
action Of the board of regents was en-
tirely dictated to relative to making
the recent appointments, and that Dr..
Chalmers was placed at Vermillion to
get rid of him aud by the Aberdeen
As'sefcain that State Superintendent
Nash is not qualified to fill the place to
which he has been appointed presi-
dent OF the Aberdeen Normal school.
We believe the appointments are the
very best that could be made and know
ing a portion of the members OF the
state board OF regents, we would have
TO be shown before believing that
the political machine made the APP
pointments. This idea OF forcing the
state schools to line up with the politi-
cal parties, and If the action OF the
state board does not suit us to declare
that its motives were not pure, but
that they were the result OF the dicta-
tion OF the machine, is not the province
OF the newspaper that wishes to DE fair
to It's readers or to the best interests
of the state. Beresford Repablic. Ind. J
