Those Who Went to sco Culinary Classes Stay to Praise If in Doubt About Breakfast Try Celebrated Hom- iny Recpes-Heres Recipe for
 Bird Pie Fit for King.
BY DOLLY DALRYMPLE.

Please devote a whole article some time to some old-fashioned recipes" writes a correspondent and in answer I would say that I have an old-fash- toned housekeeper friend whose recipes are worth while and 1t always gives me great pleasure to give them to my read CTS. This particular housekeeper was noted during her girlhood for making the most delicious dishes and be it known that there is none of the highfalutin' manner about her cooking that surrounds many of the housekeepers of today
 Although Mother Bunting had already learned all the nice things that anybody could know about cooking (so all her friends thought, yet she didn't fail to attend cooking school and learn all the new fangled things that are taught there. In fact, when she went 1t was to scoff rather than praise, but she found the new methods so superior to the old ones that now she dates everything back to .'the time when I went to cooking school"
 Mother Bunting's famous eriddle cakes and who is there who does not enjoy being asked in to breakfast to sample them of a cold winter morning?-are the result of her cooking school ex- periences She learned several ways of making them and indeed her husband and children are so fond of them that scarcely morning passes but that her breakfast table is not supplied with these delicious edibles
 The recipe which she gives me for plain griddle cakes is this:
 Take two cups of flour, two teaspoon fuls of baking powder. one-half teaspoon ful of salt. two cups of milk and one egg.
 The flour, salt and baking powder are and added to the milk and this is poured gradually into the dry mixture and beaten well. Lastly, the melted butter is added. These cakes are baked by spoonfuls on a hot griddIe.
 When the top of\ a cake is full or bubbles and it is brown on one side. turn it and brown it on the other" says this good housekeeper.
 Another dish that Mother Bunting boys are very fond of for breakfast Is "corn fritters." She doesn't have to call the ''chaps" twice when these steaming hot delicanies are waiting for them and this Is how she makes them;
 Take a can of the best corn and cool it in the refrigerator. To two coffee cupfuls of corn add two or three we'll beaten eggs, three tablespoonfuls or cream or new milk and a smal tea cupful of flour, with a little salt. Drop in spoonfuls into hot fat and Try a golden brown. Or else cook them on q hot x,fddle like any other griddle cakes

ment than many of the other problems. Indeed, the city officials do not seem to know much about the legal or corporate status of this old cemetery.
 It has been suggested by a, few of the more practical citizens of the city that the bodies be removed to one of the other cemeteries of the city and that the ground be utilized as 8 park or for other purposes.
 This suggestion is vehemently de- nounced by others who attach great weight to elements of sentiment and sa- cred memories that cling about this ap- parently deserted square lying between Birmingham proper and the old town of Elyton.
 I agree with those people who would re- new the graves, clear away the brambles build a substantial fence and preserve the sacred ground in which lie the bodies of many of the pioneer people of this dis trict.
 True. some of the bodies have already been moved, but the place is sacred to the older people of Birmingham and many of their children.
 There are graves here four-quarters of century old, and they should not be dis turbed. This was the burial ground for the struggling outpost pushed almost century ago into the Indians country.
 When Elyton was an insignificant relay post for stage lines through the wilder ness the first graves were dug here Chil- dren of those early days buried their parents and grandparents here. Fathers and mothers laid their little ones to rest here.
 The pioneers of those early days are buried here unmindfuI of the wonderful progress and industrial development that has transformed the scenes about them.
 Let us not disturb them or the sacred memories that cling about their graves. Perhaps Birmingham and will do some- thing to renew and preserve the place.
 If it cannot or will not the people will.

 It was typically brides imcneon, mink carnations and narcissus, two or the seasons fairest and most fragrant flowers. joined their loveliness in mak- ing the decorative scheme for the lunch con table. They formed an erective centerpiece which was surrounded With candles whose light shone through shades of the same tint as the carnations.
 The place favors were dainty little sii- yer brides slippers filled with rice and holding also the name cards. one or the prettiest features of the luncneon was the manner in which the Ices were served.

 FOR MRS. w, D, JELKS.

Mrs. Charles o. Locke's luncheon yes- terday in compliment to Mrs. William Dorsey Jelks was one of the prettfest Inequalities that she has extended in her lovely home.

Cabaniss, Mrs. Don- aid Conner, Mrs. Frank Crockard, and Mrs. Edward H. Cabaniss.
 The details of the luncheon were beau tiful. Rare flowers and foliage com bined to make 1t one of. these perfectly artistic affairs that Mrs. Locke knows so well how to plan and effect. The table was bare and dotted with doilies of Irish lace. In the center was a large placque of Killarney roses in contrast to whose soft pink the white bells of hyacinths made a charming effect. Over the blos- soms pink tulle was drawn. At either end of .the table crystal baskets were filled with hyacinths and asparagus ferns and a rosy light beaming through shaded candles completed the pretty picture. ANNOUNCEMENTS.

 For the fritters, rub two cupfuls of cold boiled hominy to a smooth paste with a tablespoonful of melted butter. Next, thin with warmed milk and add three well-beaten eggs. Finally stir in a cupful of flour which has been sifted twice, with a teaspoonful of salt and half as much baking powder The best way to cook these Is on a soapstone grid dle.
 In the meantime Baby Bunting's papa is occasionally out looking for-not rab- bits, but birds, and so it is up to Mother Bunting to give her delicious recipe for Bird Pie,'' which 'Is fit to set before king"
 This is what she does:
 Clean and stew the birds for half an hour in weak stock. Let them get per fectly cold in this gravy. Take out and put a couple of oysters in the body of each. Arrange around the inside of your bake dish the necks all against the rim. Put a bit of butter on each breast and sprinkle very finely minced salt pork all over Thiclen the gravy with Drowned flour, season we'll and pour upon the birds. Cover with a good crust, cut a slit in the middle and bake, covered. half an hour. Then brown.
 Every housekeeper likes new ideas as to tea cakes to serve with her afternoon tea.
 "One can always buy those." says the young housewife, when discussing the subject.
 .'But it's like buying ready made clothes" answers the veteran house. keeper, who knows that there Is noth- ing more delicious than the dainty mor- sells that the clever housewife takes the trouble to make with her own hands, or at least, superintend
 One of the daintiest recipes for tea cakes is as follows:
 Break the white of an egg in bowl, add one tablespoonful of sugar, stir a moment, and then add one tablespoonful of flour and one-half teaspoonful of soft tened butter, beat to the thickness or cream. Pour a teaspoonful of batter on the reverse side of a lrage baking pan, lightly greased and with the back of the spoon spread it until 1t is about four inches in diameter and almost as thin as tissue paper. Bake in moderate oven until brown. and while still warm roll around a curling stick.
 If a sweet is desired to add relish to the simple afternoon tea a Nut and Fruit Giace'' is a palatable dish.
 Take one cupful of sugar. one-half cup ful of water and mix the two together until the sugar is dissolved. Then boil until little makes a crisp ball Tn the water. Do not stir. When cooled crop by spoonfuls on buttered platter Place on each piece half walnut or slice of orange Then pour more candy over 1t and let it cool.

Holding Out The Money

The insurgent state ofhcIals areelther
utterly devoid of the first precepts OF
business methods or else several OF
them are absolutely dishonest, as the
following will show:
On April 4, 1910, State Insurance
Commissioner Basford turned into the
state treasury in a lump the sum of
Sl2, 952 SO, fees that had come into his
hands during many months previous
and which should have been deposited
at the time of receipt.
On April %, 1910, prominent lnsur-
gent of the state deposited with the
state treasurer draft for 4,O9O.49,
fees collected by one of the oil inspec-
tors for the year enCing June 80, 1909.
This money was held out for ten
months from the state treasury.
During the legislative session of 1909
when there was talk Of an investiga-
ton of the state superintendent office,
that official turned into the treasury
81, O33. so, fees that he had received
during many months past and which
should have been deposited at the time
of receipt. The investigation referred
to was smothered by prominent insurg-
ents because it was well known that
the result would bring discredit upon
the incumbent of that office.
These are only few samples of the
loose methods employed by our re
form" state offic ais. The records show
that they have withheld from the state
treasury thousands of dollars for months
at a time, and in the meantime
the state has been paying seven
percent interest upon floating warrants
which could have been taken up had
our Performers" deposited these monies
upon receipt. Their only object in thus
holding out the fee receipts of their
respective Offices, was to use the funds
thus obtained for personal purposes.
The interest they could obtain in this
manner would amount to several thou
sand dollars per year, and though that
interest was virtually the property of
the state, yet it is certain that not one
cent of it has been turned over to the
state by our reform" state officials.
Mr.. Voter, does not this resemble
graft more than it does reform? Do
you wish to continue this loose method
of handling the states money? If you
are in favor of retaining these grafters
in office, vote the reform" state ticket
at the June primaries. u. ....... &.

If Ewert, the "reform" candidate for
state treasurer, was not politician OF
the cheapest kind, he would refute the
malicious and untruthful charges the
insurance statement press is making
against Safe Treasurer Johnson. Mr..
Ewert is state senator and in the last
session had charge of the depository
bill, and he also had a large sum of
state money lying in his bank upon
which he was paying no interest. MIR.
johnson went to the attorney general
to learn if there was not some way in
which he could compel Ewert to pay
interest upon this money, but the attor-
ney rendered his opinion that in the alb
sence of law it could not be done. The
party was pledged to pass depository
law, and it might easily have been done
before January 18th, but Mr.. Ever
nursed it along until the very end of the
session before he let it become a law
and all the time he was enjoying thu
use of the state money without inter
est. Under this state of facts the pub
lie is permitted to Judge between tn
two candidates.

There is no disputing the fact that
Geo. w. Egan is making good Roadway
in the southeastern counties of the state
where Governor Vessey was strong two
years ago. 1t is equally true that Egan
is gaining strength so rapidly that he
must be considered factor in the gov
ernorship fight, much as this may be
regretted. Those who are keeping in
close touch with the present political
situation are forced to admit that the
contest is now between Elrod and Egan,
and that the latter has cut into Vessey's
strength to such an extent that the
present governor cannot hope to be
nominated. Those who do not want to
see Egan nominated for governor will
have to vote for Elrod, because of the
votes Mr.. Egan is drawing for himself,
four out of five were formerly Wesley
votes. The nominee for governor win
be either Elrod or Egan, and every tax
payer should give this matter thorough
consideration before casting his ballot
AZ the primaries. - Iroquois Chief

his term he turned in SIT, 100 81, and by

ing the two years Mr.. Cassill, the ere
form" state treasurer, had charge of
the office, he received nearly SOS, 600 in
interest on state funds. Out of this
amount nearly $4,000 went into the

There has been a great scurrying OF
reform" politicians and machine heel
ers to the southern part of the state
during the past two weeks. Reports
from the southern counties indicate
that Egan has captured the progressive
faction hide and tail, and the Wesley
Richards machine, realizing that their
only hope lies in saving the southern
counties, are flooding that district with
their strikers. The few in that part OF
the state who still remain loyal to the
Vessey-Richards machine, have, how
ever, given up all hope of putting up an
effectual fight against Egan, and now
openly admit that Wesley has been rele-
gated to third place as gubernatorial
candidate.
