USEFUL SOUR MILK.

For those who have never eaten .
dish Of thick sour milk. sprinklsd with
a bit of maple or brown sugar and a
dusting Of nutmeg. there is q dish
new worth trying. A pan Of milk left
with the cream on It and allowed to
thicken may be still more delicious
and palatable. Another point In its
favor is the wholesomeness. In for
eign countries they are using the sour
milk cure, which is said to destroy
harmful bacteria found In the alimen-
tary canal.
Sour milk may be used in spice
cake. giving 1t the flavor and moisture
particularly we'll liked. Ginger cake
Is another cake especially nice, made
with sour milk. The following recipes
are worth trying and putting into the
family scrap book:
Spice cake.-Soften three table
spoonfuls of butter and mix with a
cup of sugar add a teaspoonful OF
soda to cup Of sour milk, a well

nutmeg, cinnamon and cloves, a half
teaspoonful Of salt; mix all together,
beat we'll and add two cups of bread
flour. Bake in a loaf or in patty tins.
A few tablespoonfuls Of cocoa is liked
by many in a spice cake; It makes 1t
a richer color.
Cottage Cheese Salad.-Mix chopped
chives, added to cottage cheese we'll
seasoned; serve on lettuce with a
boiled dressing. Cottage cheese made
at home Is prepared by pouring boil
Ing water into pan of thickened milk
and then putting the curd which re-
suits to drain in sieve or bag.
Cheese made this way Is never tough
and hard. as 1t often is when cooked
on the stove, for II left for a moment
too long 1t becomes hard and indi.
gestlble.
Thick milk may be put into a bag
without any cooking. II carefully done
and left to drain over night, then in
the morning the curds may be sea
soned as desired.
When one has little sour milk put
1t in pitcher or glass jar, add a little
salt, and at each addition stir it well
then when cupful Is wanted it will
be ready to use.

lark.

AppIvjnu Louic.

A Sunday school class was studying

was telling of customs among the Bs-
kimos. She said: Il have read an
article by a traveller among these peo-
pie, and it is the duty of the Eskimo's
wife to chew her husbands clothes to
keep them soft and pliable, as the
skins get stiff, and therefore, a wo.
man is chosen according to her chew
ing ability, every man endeavoring to
get a wife with strong teeth" One
little boy, with look of intense
nausea on his face, blurted out:
"Why don't they get 'em billygoat?"

WAYS OF SERVING RAU5ARR.

Rhubarb Is such wholesome plant,
and at this season of the year very
plentiful in the market, that the poor
est purse can afford few pounds to
serve as it Is best enjoyed. The pink
skinned variety is more attractive
when cooked, and that is the kind
to buy when getting root for your
kitchen garden. While 1t is tender
and reasonable in price is the time
you can get it for winter or make the
various conserves and preserves
which are such favorites.
Many can rhubarb in cold water.
Fill a perfectly sterile jar with the
cut plant, put the jar under the cold
water faucet and fill 1t to overfowing.
Then seal, and put in a cool, dark
place. This rhubarb can be used for
pies very nicely in the winter months.
Spiced Rhubarb.-This Is delicious
to serve with meats. To two pounds
of rhubarb cut in inch pieces, add a
pound of sugar, set on the back of the
range and add bag of mixed spices;
cook slowly until thick, remove the
spice bag and turn into glasses. When
cold cover closely.
Rhubarb Pudding-Spread a few
slices of bread generously with butter,
sprinkle over it a grating of nutmeg;
line baking dish with the bread and
cover with finely cut rhubarb, add an
other layer of bread and rhubarb and
add sufficient sugar to sweeten. Bake
in a moderate oven until the rhubarb
is we'll done. Serve with sauce Of
butter and sugar creamed together
and seasoned with nutmeg. Or a
sauce Of cream and sugar is good.

Healthy Baby Is

To Make It Healthy and Keep
It Healthy Use a Reliable
Baby Laxative

In spite of the greatest personal care
and the most intelligent attention to
diet, babies and children will become
constipated. and il is a fact that consti-
patton and indigestion have wrecked
many young life. To start with a
good digestive apparatus is to start
life without handicap.
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them or train
them to become healthy This can be
done by the use of a laxative tonic
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two generations.
1t can be bought conveniently at any
drug store for fifty cents or one dollar
a bottle, and those who are already
convinced of its merits buy the dollar

It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children. and il is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in its

little of il is required and its frequent

The marks and the sounds of great
city are always evident in Birmingham.
Probably the greatest single factor in the
first impression made UP the stranger
within the confines of the city Is its
metropolitanism. and nowhere in any city
can these signs be discovered so well as
in the central business district.
There are many corners In the down
town district where these marks of a
metropolis are always evident. Thousands
of people stream past every hour going in
all directions, street cars clamor and twist
about coming in from the residence dis
tricts, great buildings tower into the air,
opulent store windows face the sidewalks
with displays almost fairy like in their
splendor. And, as in other large. cities
of the world, much is going on under
ground where It cannot be seen from the
streets
Birmingham has not yet constructed
subway street car systems to the ex-
tent to which New York city is using
them, she has no overhead railways and
no 40 story skyscraper office buildings.
But the beginning has been made and
many uses are already being made OF the
Underground method Of construction In or
der to give more room at the surface.
An example of this phase of Birming-
hams development can be taken from the
intersection of First avenue and Twen-
tieth street, two of the main arteries OF
traffic in the city. From data acquired
from the city engineering department The
Age Herald artist has made the accom-
panying cross section" drawing OF the
corner, the drawing showing the face OF
an imaginary cut being made across the
intersection along a line drawn from the
corner of the American Trust y story
office building to the diagonally opposite
corner of the 16 story Empire building
The corner of the building shown in the
cut is Parker's drug store in the Wood
ward building, the great Brown Marx
building being on this side of the imag-
mary line and therefore not in the draw
ing.
At the intersection of these two streets
there are u underground passages for
various uses.
According to the numbers they are as
follows:
No. 1-Gas main coming up First ave-
nue..
No 2-steam main coming up Twentieth
street.
No. s-water main coming up First

No. 4-steam main coming up First ave

duits containing. 40 ducts on Twentieth
street.
