Jos. w. Allison. of Ennis, Tex, who Is
manufacturing and distributing cot

Mrs. Dan McCarty. bake shop pro-

practical demonstration of the new
food product, and for more than a

bread. cakes. gingersnaps, and many
other tasty products Of the oven. SO
successful have been her demonstra-

use OF wheat -four entirely.
Allison's experiments have attract

experts throughout the south. Cotton

for cattle and horses, and has been
recognized as being rich In nutritive

Prudence was little girl who lived
great many years ago, when this

people lived here. At that time there
were women who we're supposed Ia
be witches and were punished and
sometimes killed.
Somebody told Prudence that one
of these witches might be seen sail

she sat up one night and watched.

Some difference OF opinion exists

long dietary test Of cottonseed -four
before II Is ranked with wheat flour
as a general food He says that al

some OF these, he cautions, are insid,

Mrs. McCarty who baked the first
cotton -four bread, thus describes It.:
The bread looks very much like
whole wheat or brown bread. 1t is
rich and sweet and has heavy crust
similar to graham bread. The ginger
snaps | bake are crisp and snappy,
the buildings and fruit cakes very
rich in flavor. Both the bread and
cakes are heavier than wheat -four
products, but they are not soggy."

Cotton has been selling in Musko-

The 1910 crop season has had a

Is that plans are being made now to
