|DR. OMAN REPLIES

Says 1t Is Simply Fight
of Scientific Charity
Against Charity"
WANTS A CAREFUL
INSPECTION MADE
Says Pisgah Home Is Here to Stay.
Only Question Asked for Ad-
mittance Is "Are You
Destitute?"

The commissioners of Birmingham lis
tened yesterday literally spellbound to an
explanation by DIR. Oman of the Pisgah
Home OF the recent assertion that the
home was improperly administered and
should be abated or at least segregated.
In a few minutes he outlined an array
of facts that impressed the commissioners
perhaps as they have never been I'M
pressed before regarding this work.
That it was scientific charity against
charity" that was charity. and again
there was Charity" were the words of
the Pisgah home worker, who has a
warm place in the hearts Of city Off
Gals. Tie implied broadly that the at
tack against Pisgah Home was inspired
No names were mentioned, but the COM
missioners in confidential manner were
told, it is asserted, that antagonistic
charitable workers here inspired the at
tack against the organization located In
West End That matter, It is said, will
be investigated by the commissioners.
Dr. OMAN followed his statement with
short speech of 1sadore Shapiro. who
expressed his amazement to listen to an
attack last Wednesday upon the Pisgah
Home workers.
DIR. Oman Begins
II believe the commissioners are more
or less familiar with our work. begau
DR.. OMAN. From time to time we have
taken the destitute, sent US by the Off
cials, and from more than one source
Mr.. Exum, Mr.. Weatherly and Judge
Lane have ascertained what we are do
ing.
"The citizens who appeared hera
charged that the women at the Pisgah
Home parade They made no assertion
that they were disorderly. They said on
the other hand, that they were conduct
ing themselves properly. When we went
to West End and founded this home there
were few houses In the neighborhood. 1t
was a sparsely settled place. Since thai
time people have moved in by u.s.
.srhe men at Pisgah Home occupy one
house and the women the other. The
statement was made that the women pa
rade back and forth between their cot
tape and the home used for the men.
That Is true to the extent of going for
their meals and attending cnurcn. lHeJ
never go unless properly clad. The wom-
en- wear long cloaks and are not wont
to parade their misfortunes before the
public. The men seldom go out. As for
gathering coal, as charged. l will say
that some Of our physicians instructed
the women to take walks. They have
been going. / am told to coal yard
and there, unknown to me. gathered coal.
That is of a better grade than our own
and some of the girls have, l am told,
carried lard cans after it. They never
walk on the streets. but on the railroad
tracks for the purpose of keeping away
from the gaze of the curious. These
women are adorned with clothing sent
from the homes Of Birmingham and are
cared for the best we know how. They
are always accompanied by a woman
escort.

during The coming year, many cities
throughout the state and adjacent ter
rltory have done likewise. Some have
even gone farther and have made it
impossible tor.licences to be granted
ID retail liquor men whose places of
business are owned or controlled by
breweries. Beloit, which claims a
larger population than GAINESVILLE, has
decided to have just thirty, and no
more saloons in the future and it is
understood they will endeavor so di-
vorce the breweries from the saloons. A
hue and cry was raised here some weeks
ago when it was announced that the
number of retail liquor licenses would
be reduced from fifty-three to forty,
yet Beloit hat en- less after ] uly / than
GAINESVILLE. At Sterling, Illinois, the
council has decided to limit the total
number of licenses 10 ten and has also
made certain districts immune from
the possibility of having asaloon in their
midst. Next year they will raise the
license fee to two thousand. Think of
that! And GAINESVILLE charges only five
hundred and has forty saloons? Dixon,
illinois, is another nearby city to
make stringent rulings as to licences
as regards brewery ownership. In
fact, the Sunday closing ordinances
have been inforced in many Wiscon-
sin cities and rigidly enforced at that
so taking it all in all GAINESVILLE liquor
interests are not to suffer so very
much after all,-Janesville Gazette.

Bread Flour and Pasfru Flour


@UR mills make two kinds of fiours;
Il one from hard Spring wheat called
~ bread flour, the other from soft
Winter wheat called pastry flour. The
bread flour has q larger percentage of
gluten which dissolves slowly and makes
the flour harder to mix, SO that it is less
desirable than the soft wheat or pastry
-four for quick baking. Pastry flour
when pressed tightly in the closed hand.
should feel soft and pack closely, retain
ing its form after Che hand is opened,
and showing the imprints of the fingers.
IF, on the other hand, the flour seems dry
and harsh 10 the touch, and cannot be
pressed dry into form, It is bread flour,
and will give good results only when q
slow working leaven like yeast is used.
Pastry -four costs no more than bread
flour and it is so much better for cakes,
biscuits, mullins and all kinds of pastry
that it should be kept on hand and
regularly used. Please do not confuse
pastry flour with the expensive pack
ages of cake -four or the self-raising
-four, which are sometimes called Pastry
Flour" and Biscuit Flour" If you
will remember that bread flour is a

crowd biscuits in pan, but keen them
we'll apart, allowing a passage between
them for heat. The oven should be verv
hot, so that the biscuits may raise. bake
and brown nicely in about Is minutes.
/ mentioned above that double raise
baking powder should be used. This is
of especial Importance with biscuits
With the old fashioned single actinep
baking powders it was necessary to have
the oven ready so that the biscuits could
beput in tae moment they were mixed,
but with X G Baking Powder you can
mix your biscuits hours in advance if
you like, letting them stand, and still
have perfect biscuit when raised. In
fact, it is entirely. practical to mix a
batch of biscuits before supper, bake
what YOU want for that meal, and set
the remainder of the dough away in the
ice box until morning, when you can,
have freshly baked biscuits for break,
fast without the loss of a moments
time in mixing. That you can do this
with K G Baking Powder is due to the
fact that it is virtually blend Of two.
baking powders, one of which COM
mences to act as soon as the dough is
mixed, the other commencing as soon as
it is reached by heat. The dough after
being mixed, will stay in partly leav-.
ened condition for hours. Then when
the heat is applied it will finish raising.

Ham 10 Make Delicious Biscuits


For biscuits let us select pastry flour,
a good sweet shortening, double-raiss
baking powder and sweet milk or water.
Milk is to be preferred, as it browns
the biscuits better. First, measure cor
rectly and sift together at least three
times, the flour, salt and baking powder.
1t is important to blend the baking pow
der thoroughly with the flour. Then
with a fork or the finger tips work the
shortening thoroughly into the flour and
mix to soft dough with the milk or
water-iust as soft as can be handled.
Roll out very lightly, or better, spread
and pat the dough out thin with the
hands. Handle as little as possible after
wetting. Then cut in small shapes for
the oven, for small biscuits are very
much better than large ones. If baked
quickly, as biscuits should be, a large
biscuit does not get the proper heat to
raise and bake the center of the biscuit.
A small biscuit raises perfectly, bakes
better, is more palatable, and is easier
to digest.
Biscuits should always be baked on a
sheet or in a very shallow pan, as the
biscuits should be above the sides of the
pan in order to have the heat get to
them quickly. If baked in deep pan
the sides shut off the heat, and the bis
cults are likely to fiatten out and run
together and have heavy centers. Never
