A pleasing feature of Memorial
day was the number of visitors
to this Office. A majority of the
old soldiers are regular readers
of this paper, and when here
seldom fail to call in. On Tues
day a number of them-their
wives and daughters, and grand
children, were here. Mention
cannot be made of all of these
good friends except briefly.
Prof. T. A. Repass, Sr. and
Mrs. Repass, of Cedar Bluff,
called. Mr.. Repass saw service
hot and furious during the war,
and does not now regret it.

TESTS FOR FOOD PURITY

HERE are a few tests for the purity
of food that Will help the house

Beware of the tin can that shows
bulge. This bulge means that deCom-
position has set in in the contents.
When in doubt as to the purity of the
cans contents pour water on the top
of the can and then prick it with the
ice pick or a large clean hatpin. If
bubbles appear through the water fer
mentation has set in.
Empty the contents of n can of fruit.
vegetables or soup Immediately into a
porcelain. CroCkery or china dish. If
there are any corrodcd patches on the
inside of the can the food should be de-
stroyed. as these patches may indicate
the presence of ptomaines. In any case
these patches show something wrong
with the food.
Vegetables should always be fresh
looking and OF bright color when they
are bought fresh. The reason why
some persons prefer canned asparagus
to the fresh is that the canned as1ara-
gus OF the best variety IS canned with

canned vegetables and fruits put up
by the most reliable films are more
likely to be fresh than those we buy

<H Hints For the Kitchen

cakes be very careful that the exact
proportions OF -four. eggs and milk are
used. Never lessen the amount Of
eggs where soda and acid are depended
on for Lghtness. Never add milk if 4
cake is too stiff when milk is not one
of the ingredients. but another egg may
be used. II milk is used little more
may be added.
FTlavor:nEs may be varied always.
Sometimes in cookbooks you are told
to use articles not frequently found in
ordinary kitchens. such as a salaman-
der. which is very useful. but seldom
found in small kitchens. but when you
wish to brown the top OF q dish. and
putting IL in the oven will not do, or the
oven is not quick enough to serve. an
iron shovel made nearly red hot. with a
few hot Cinders in il. serves as a good
salamander. 1t must be held over the
article that requires browning near
enough TO color II, yet not 10 burn
You must beware Of attempting too
much az once. Perfect yourself in one
thing before you attempt another.

HOW TO SERVE
YOUNG CARROTS

&CRAPE and chop or cut into very
small dice a bunch of small new
carrots. Put n porcelain pan over the
Ere with butter the size Of guinea
egg. and when melted add the carrots
and stir and turn often with a spatula
or broad knife. Season with salt and
pepper and cook at moderate heat in
order to draw out the natural juices OF
the carrots. This will keep them from
burning. After they have cooked five
minutes dredcc lightly with flour, add
a very little water. stir again and in
five minutes add a little more -four and
water. Cook until tender. The result
should be a creamy. perfectly delicious
mass and unlike any carrots you've
ever eaten before.
