FOR MAKING GRAHAM GEMS
Good Rule to Follow When Miikman
ls Late in Making His
Appearance.

Sometimes the mill5man does not
put in an appearance at the usual
time; therefore recipes for mullins and
other breakfast breads which call for
water insted OF milk are useful. For
graham mullins that do not call for
milk, have ready two cupfuls of gra-
ham flour, one cupful OF wheat flour,
two of warm water, tablespoonful OF
butter and two of molasses, q tea
spoonful of soda and two of cream Of
tartar. Mix together in the usual way
by sitting the two kinds of -four to-
gother with the soda and the cream Of
tartar and then adding the butter. the
water and the molasses. 1t is well to
add little salt. Bake in hot gem pans
in a quick open. Graham meal win

Local Lawyer Differs.
Communicated

Annapolis. Md, Feb. 10, 1912.
Editors Evening Capital:
In your issue of Saturday you refer
to an opinion of Attorney General
Poe in regard to the appointment of
woman on school boards. Mr.. Poe
quotes the language of the law, but
all law is a subject of construction.
Section of Article z of the Consti-
tuition, says "the State Librarian
shall be appointed by the Governor by
and with the advice and consent of
the Senate, and shall hold his office
during the term of the Governor
by whom he shall have been APP
pointed"
Governor Lowndes appointed Mrs.
letters, and since then every State
Librarian has been a woman. This
subject was never made a matter of
decision by the courts, but | know that
at the time of Mrs. letters appoint
ment il was a matter of discussion
with the Judges of the Court of APP
peals, and they conceded that the APP
pointment would be borne ont by the
law.
Section 6 of Article l of the Code
says 1.-THE masculine includes all gen.
ders, except where such construction
would be absurd or unreasonable. y
This was construed by the Court of
Appeals in the case of Maddox, SO

Your editorial comment indicated
that the law appointing women trus-
tees in Annapolis might be governed
by this opinion of the Attorney Gen.
eral. differ with him on this sub
iect, as do many others.
Very respectfully yours,

DIET FOR COLD WEATHER

Quantity.

The choice Of foods IN winter In OF
special Importance
Upon its digestion and assimilation
depends the quality Of blood. and a
healthy body is not possible where
this vital fuid is in an anemic condi.
ton.
Heavier foods. of course, are taken
in winter than in summer. and IN cor
respondingiy greater quantity
Heat producing foods should be Sc
lected, especially where the vitality is
low.
Healthy, robust people Go no; re-
quire as much OF this heavier food as
their blood is sufficiently rich and Of
sturdy warmth.
While pork is not desirable as an
everyday diet, a little is beneficial on
account of its fatNwhen very we'll
cooked, and II can be digested with
out III effects
Beef is also desirable. as also are
potatoes.
Beets are blood makers and a mod
crate amount of sweets in any form
is especially desirable for the winter
fare.
Cocoa and cholocolate are nourish-
ing, and better results are obtained
than where tea or coffee is taken.
Warm milk may be taken at night
before retiring where insomnia is pres.
ent.
This is also especially good to take
before starting out into the cold, as il
warns and nourishes at the same time.
Fruits, fresh and stewed, especially
prunes and ripe figs. should be eaten
in winter.
