Good Roads Meeting.

Blakeslee, commissioner Of agri
culture, who has been out on a
campaigning tour Of the state in
the interest of his candidacy for
reelection for several DAYS, was
at his desk today and was en-
gagged in catching up with cor
respondence pertaining to rout-
inc and official matters. Mr..
BlakesIee Is keeping up his cam
paign for road improvement in
the state. and during his rounds
never lets an opportunity pass to
impart an additional boost to the
movement.
Taking advantage of the new
sentiment which the great con-
vention or congress of good road
advocates and workers at Birm-
ingham disseminated throughout
the South. including his own
state, Mr.. Blakeslee has prepar-
ed the following call for a state
wide road meeting, to be held
during the last week in October,
incidental to the state fair:
Interest in better public roads
is increasing at a great rate in
Mississippi. Twenty counties
are building good roads and 9th
ers are investigating. It is an
economic proposition, and cam
paign of education is necessary.
If every person in the state could
use good roads for a short time.
there would be absolutely no
trouble in creating sentiment to
back any sensible proposition to
build roads. Next to actual use
of the roads, Information of a
reliable character has a place in
educating the people. If you
can't show the roads and allow
them to use them. tell them about
it..
II suggest that a statewide
road meeting be held in Jackson
on Oct 1926. There will be a
rate of one fare on the railroads
at that time for the state fair.
The Mississippi Supervisors As
ISOLATION will be in session. The
leading manufacturers OF road
building machinery will have ex-
hibits here. and if this .meating
is called, will do better tan ev-
err. Good speakers on the sub
|ject can be secured, men who are
competent to instruct.
IF each supervisor in the
state could bring ten of his lead
ing constituents to this meeting,
the result would be good. Mu.
inequalities, business organiza
tons and other business organ
izations could be represented.
The meeting can be made the
most important held in the state
In many years. Would be glad
to hear from all interested par
ties concerning the suggestion.
If it is called, let's make it the
biggest of the kind ever seen in
the South. The Importance of
the movement warrants such an
interest.
Respectfully,
H. E. BLAKESLEE,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Grape-Nuts at such times l was re-

which was a great gain. AS to my
other troubles-nervous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-On the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.

ALL IN THE COOKING
MUCH CARE NEEDED IN PREPARA.
TON OF ASPARAGUS.
Delicious Vegetable Worth All the
Time and Skill That Can Be Given
lt-Many Different Ways
of Serving.

Asparagus is one of the dishes
which cooking can make or mar. 1t
has always been esteemed a great deli
cacy. 1t was the favorite vegetable
OF the ancient Romans and was intro
duced by them into Britain. 1t is
much more generally used in France
and England than here.
Fashion has decreed during the past
few years that asparagus must be
served cold at up-to-date social func-
tons, but on the home table hot as
paragus cooked en- branche or cut up
in a cream sauce will never go a-beg-
ging.
BY most people the simplest way of
cooking asparagus is considered best,
says the Delineator Cut off the tough
est ends of the stalk where it is white
and woody, and bind the remainder of
the stalks together with strip of mus
lin. Immerse the stalks in boiling
sailed water. with the tips projecting
two inches above the water. In this
way they will steam tender, while the
rest of the stalk is cooking. Boil until
tender. but not mushy and serve with
white sauce. drawn butter mayonnaise
bechamel or Hollandaise sauce as pre-
| ferred.
A French woman eating asparagus
| takes a stalk at time in her fingers,
dips the head in the cream sauce, and
daintily nibbles her way down the
stalk as far as it seems tender. In
this country it is usually served on
buttered toast, each slice being dipped
in the asparagus liquid.
For those who would cling TO aspara-
gus cooked as mother used TO cook 1t,
the directions are simple. Cut the ten
der portions of the stalks into half-inch
lengths. Simmer in boiling sailed wa
ter. only just enough TO cover, until
tender; then season asparagus, liquid
and all. with milk or cream, butter
salt and pepper, and serve on toast OF
in deep saucers. In this way the whole
delicate and distinctive favor OF the
asparagus is preserved.
Canapes of asparagus make q dainty
entree and. though adopted from the
French, find increasing popularity here
The foundation of the canape is the
same. no matter what the filling may
be Take slices of bread about two
inches thick and stamp them out into
neat rounds with a biscuit cutter
With a smaller cutter mark circle il
the center of each round and scoop on
the crums to the depth of an inch
taking care to leave the sides and bot
tom quite firm. Arrange these in I
shallow dish and pour over them ;
lalf-pint OF milk. to which a beaten egl
has been added Then take up yer,
= carefully and slip into a kettle of boil
ing fat. They will brown almost i'm
mediately and must be removed whel
pale golden brown. Some cooks pre-
fer TO drop them at once into the no
lat without the milk-and-egg bath

injecting solution as a matter of pre-
caution.
The propagation and spread of the
disease probably can be controlled
largely by the selection of seed from
fields free from the disease. the re-
lection of all seed tubers which have
wounds. cracks or decayed areas and
treating the remainder with corrosive
suhlimate or formaldehyde solutions
or with formaldehyde gas as is done
for potato scah It is not known
whether or not tho disease germs will
remain alive in the soil to infect fu-
turc crops OF potatoes. but as a pre-
cautionary measure the land on which
the disease occurs should be kept in
grass. clover. or cereals for as long
a time as possible before planting It
to potatoes again.

In the meantime two additional fire
