EASY MENUS FOR SUNDAY.
If meals are to be arranged simply
and easily for Sunday they must be
we'll planned in advance to allow all
necessary time for marketing and
preparation.
These menus at best can only be
suggestive, but we can at least work
for a little while in planning and sys-
tematizing of the work on Saturday
and Sunday so we may be rightly but
not over-fed.
SUNDAY BREAKFAST.
Baked Bananas
Scrambled Eggs
Whole Wheat Bread Toasted
Cocoa-Coffee with Hot Milk
Select fine ripe bananas. Insist
upon their being brown. Peel off
one section. squeeze a little lemon
juice over each side and set into a
pan in a moderate oven to bake about
20 minutes. These are perfectly good
food for children as we'll as adults and
will bake while setting the table and
making the coffee.
ohO % many SSSD dS lACIS al Z
persons to be served and. one or two
extra. Set the double boiler over the
fire and in the upper part put a tea.
spoonful Of butter for every three
eggs; when melted, break the eggs
into this and add teaspoonful OF
cream for each egg, pepper or papri
ka and salt Stir the eggs with a
wooden spoon until they begin to set;
remove from fire, add another small
piece of butter and serve on the whole
wheat toasted bread, which has been
| softened in little hot milk or water
| The idea is not to cook" the eggs un
| til "set," for by the time they are serv
! ed they are hard as there Is still suffi
Gent heat in the pan to finish the
cooking. Cocoa and coffee prepared
as usual except little stronger, wheI
hot milk is used with the coffee.
SUNDAY LUNCHEON.
Potato Salad
Thin Brown Bread and Butter
Rhubarb Pie
Remember our Sunday luncheons
when at all practical, are to be o
the help yourself kind, and the onl,
rule is for each one to wash, wipe an,
put away his or her own dishes neal
ly and just as they were found.
Make the salad according to tn
following recipe, but only put togett
er Sunday morning on a nice cris
bed of lettuce. The bread is bake
or purchased-if you know the bak

may be bread wrapped in paraffin

The Cotton Worm Situation.
(By r. W. Harned,)

CBy X. W. Harned,)
Many people are asking if the
cotton leaf worms alabama ar.
gillacea) will appear again this
year in such destructive numbers
as in 1911 and 1912. The pros
poets now are that the cotton
worms will not appear in Missis-
sippi this year in large numbers,
In fact it is quite likely that if
they reach us at all it will be too
late to do any serious damage.
No cotton worms have been re-
ceived from Mississippi this year,
whereas in both 1911 and 1912
many were received during the
month of July from various Sec
tions of the state.
The only report of cotton worms
in this country this year is from
Victoria, Texas. They are said to
have been found there in small
numbers.
1t is to be hoped that every per-
son raising cotton in the state will
be on the lookout for cotton worms
and send any suspicious insects to
the Entomologist, Agricultural
College Miss, for Identification.

In Memory Of Little Buck Ewins'.

On July l4th Deaths Angel visited
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Hall Ewings
and took from them their precious lit
tie son, Buck.
1t seems hard to part with u dear
ones, but He who does all things well
called little Buck home where there is
no sorrow nor pain.
1t seems impossible to give up our
dear ones, but God saw that he was too
pure and sweet for this sinful world
and took little Buck home.
Little Buck was only six years and a
few months old and had not been in
this world long enough to realize any Of
its troubles and sorrows. As he was
spending his last moments in this sin
full world he looked up and said, ~ am
going home to stay; tell all goodbye"
Our prayers are that God may be
with the hcart-broken parents and help
them to so live that they may meet
their precious little son in that bright
home above where they shall never say
goodbye. C. j. C.
