COUNTY LIBRARY
PLAN ABANDONED
New Municipal Courts Require All
Courthouse Space Intended
To Be Utilized.

Creation Of the Municipal Court Of
Atlanta by the recent Legislature has
forced the County Commissioners to
abandon the idea Of establishing a
handsome library in the new Fulton
County courthouse. The sudden re-
quirement Of furnishing separate
Courtrooms and offices for the five
judges Of the Municipal Court placed
a serious proposition before the com
mlssioners.
THE only way we can see to ac-
commodate the Municipal Court is by
the abandonment Of what might be
called our pet idea-establishin
handsome library on the entire sew
enth floor Of the new courthouse"
said General Clifford l.. Anderson.
chairman Of the public buildings
committee of the county board
When we were first advised that
under the act creating the Municipal
Court IL would be necessary for us TO
furnish COurtrOOms and offices in the
new courthouse, we thought il would
be easy to find space in the build
ing. We expected at the time that
one or two CourtrOOms would be suf-
ficient. but are advised that it will
be necessary for as to furnish each
Judge with "A separate courtroom as
it is highly probable each division
may be in session at the same time
Space will also be required for the
clerks Offices.
The architects have gone over the
plans carefully in an effort to re-
arrange them so that the Municipal
Court could be accommodated with
out interfering with our other plans.
This has been found to be impossi-
BILE however and we viii have to let
the library go"
There will be fifteen courtrooms in
the courthouse in addition to the
County Commissioners room and
the Grand Jury room, each Of which
will be of unusual size Most Of the
CourtrOoms will extend through two
stories
The recent Legislature made it nee
essary for the County Commissioners
to provide for seven new Courts-one
division Of the Superior Court the
Juvenile Court and five divisions Of
the Municipal Court.

A great many housewives have had
trouble in making rich, light, moist mullins
without their falling, and to overcome this,
they have resorted to making the batter 80
stiff that when baked, the mullins are very
dry. A muffin can be made almost as
light and just as palatable rs q pop-over,
but to make light, moist muffin which is
not soggy in the center, double-raise
baking powder such as X G must be used.
X G Baking Powder has two separate and
distinct raises: one when moisture is
added, and the other when heat is applied,
30 that the raising is sustained until the
muffin is baked through, and all danger OF
falling and becoming soggy is past.
Like biscuits, the softer the dough goes
into the oven, the lighter the mullins that
come out Of it.

There is one friend who will never
fail you while you have hands to move

hours she will be your sweet refuge,
and in times of prosperity she viii
guard you from the pride which

you long nights of restful sleep at the

she will absorb you more and more.

Some HeLpful Suggestions

Mullins would be served on many more
breakfast tables if this meal were not
prepared SO hurriedly that there is not time
enough to stir up mullins and bake them.
With X G double-raise baking powder, the
batter may be stirred up the night before
and If set in a cool place, it will remain
in partially leavened condition all night,
and the raising win be completed when put
in the oven in the morning. No difference
will be noticed between mullins mixed the
night before and those mixed Immediately
before baking. This should not be-
however, with any of the old
fashioned single-acting baking powders.
The old fashioned way was to bake
mullins in hot oven, but this makes q
thick heavy crust and q soggy center,
which is unpalatable and hard to digest.
The proper and healthful way to bake
mullins is to start the oven at q low
temperature, just as for baking cakes.
When the mullins come up to the top of the
pan, the heat should be raised, and they
should be baked until crisp crust IL
formed. This crust will be thin, and the
centers win be found light and fluffy. but
thoroughly baked.
Always sift the flour and baking Pow
together ct least three times, no MATED
what kind Of pastry is to be made. This
win insure its rising evenly and the -four
is lightened by having air sifted into IL.
Either water or milk may be used for
mullins. Milk will make the richer muffin
and. brown better, but water win answer
the purpose very nicely when milk Is not
to be had.
A most excellent spread" for mullins,
hot biscuits and hot cakes is made by
