. AUNT LAURA

Aunt Laura Murdoch passed her
80 mile stone on June 25tb. While
in point Of years she is one of our
oldest mothers, yet her genial dpspo-
silion coupled with a noble christian
fodiude has kept her young for her
years, so much ,hat she appears to be
no older than many scarcely halt her
age. On this occasion, she was al
tending the Mcintosh meeting and
time was given her Sunday School to
say a few words relating to her work
and present her some tokens Of ap.
probation. Two handsome presents
we're given her, one by her class and
one by the schoI. In presenting the
present, Supt. F. j. Mcdonnell said:

Heloful Hints on Bread Mating

Have materials all at hand
Sift three times, -four, salt and baking
powder, mix thoroughly.
Bake slowly enough to allow the bread
to rise before it crusts over, using COW
cred pan to keep the surface soft. Re-
member that baking powder breads Go
the greater part Of the rising in the oven
and that baked bread can not rise. Let
it rise before baking.
X G Baking Powder is particularly
adapted to bread baking on account Of
Its long sustained action. It begins to
rise as soon as moisture is added, and
under the influence Of a gentle heat. it
continues to give off its leavening gas for
fully half an hour. You cannot expect
the same results from old fashioned quick
acting baking powders. With K G Bal-
ling Powder you are assured Of light,
lpalatable loaf.
Never, never knead baking powder
bread as one does yeast bread. Turn
from the mixing bowl into the baking pan.
Follow mixing and baking directions
carefully. Remember failures are not
simply bad luck, but bad ways. There
| is correct, scientific way for building
baked foods the same as for building
houses, and unless these rules are followed,
results cannot be perfect.

Pay Your Poll Tax

The advent of December reminds us
that the time limit for paving poll tax
is drawing very near to a close
Louisiana like most other states, limits
the right Of franchise to those who pay
poll tax prior to January the first
Therefore those who fail to pay up by
January the first will be de6arred from
voting in any election for two years.
This IS an important matter and every
citizen should be reminded OF this TACT
and see to it that his poll taxis proper
ly paid before December 31st.
