Only a few weeks ago gave an exhaus-
tive and minute recipe for bread making
endeavoring to the best of my ability to
render the directions what my correspond
ent calls fool proof" which translate as
meaning so direct and explicit that an in
experienced cook could follow them with
tolerable certainty of success.
In consideration OF the space those direc-
tions occupied in our columns and the
pressure Of other matter waiting to ap-
pear, do not feel justified In printing them
again soon. hope that this corre-
spondent may have seen the recipe and
proved its usefulness and that If not she
will write again.
I may say there are many good ways to
make bread, and that 1 am not prepared
to state any special one is absolutely I" the
best" The bread made with potato sponge
keeps soft a little longer than that made
without it, but the latter may be extreme
ly satisfactory. So with yeast; the ordinary
yeast cake produces good a product a
the liquid yeast After all, one must ac-
Quire judgment and experience by prac-
tice. and that is something no one can give
anyone
You ask about the foundation for soup
Establish stock pot, beginning with a shin
of beef. a knuckle Of veal both well
cracked, bunch Of soup herbs, and enough
cold water to cover all well. Cook slowly
never letting the water get to more than a
simmer, for five or six hours, and leave the
meat in the soup overnight or until both are
cold.
With this as a foundation you may vary
your soups in different ways. Trimmings
from your roast, the fag end Of the steak,
the bones Of cooked meat, may all be added
to the stock with more water and boiled
down until you get any nutriment and
flavor from them they contain. In hot
weather the contents of the stock pot
should be boiled over at least once in every
two days and should never be allowed to
accumulate too long.
Vary soups with a meat foundation onoe
in awhile by a cream soup or one made from
vegetables alone. There are many of these
and they are both palatabIe and economical.

Education of Children.

Education should be of the kind that is of use to the child as a foundation ranged that the child may take what is best for his particular case. A trained expert who studies each child and prescribes his kind of education judging by the symptoms as does the physician-will be worth his price in guiding the youth into training. We wrong the children by emitting this form of education.

Mrs. Curtis stated that this case
had caused her considerable trouble.
She stated that the little girls had
been making their home with rela-

been subjected to the most unmer-

that the neighbors were frequently
called upon to make them desist in
their brutal treatment and that upon
several occasions the children had
been beaten into unconsciousness.
The girls are 10 and 12 years Of
age, respectively, and are exceedingly
bright children considering the

ALL PROPOSITIONS RECEIVED
ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE TO
BE CONGRATULATED.

The Carter county election board
composed Of Kelly Brown, John II.
Carlock and Col. w. w. Taliaferro
finished their work this mornlng and
have made their report to the state
board. This county made the first
report to the state board and too much
credit cannot be given the precinct
election officers and the county cleo
ton officers for their prompt work.
This county voted with the remainder
Of the state, the yes" vote being
in the majority on every question.
The miners received the biggest vote
in the county and the school tax dis
tribution the largest and the amend
ment to the railroad section and the
recall OF the state agricultural board
received the same number of votes.
Following is the complete vore Of
the county:
Railroad amendment-For 1O41,
against 653; repeal or section is OF
the miners law-for 1431, against
252. Distribution of the public ser,
vice corporation school taX-fo7 152l
against 331. Providing a means for
the counties to abolish township
goyernment-For 976, against G17.
Recall of the state agricultural board.
reducing the membership to five and
giving the governor authority to lp-
Qcint them-For 1911, against 5G5.
Fewer votes were cast against the
miners law than on any other cues
ton, more votes We're cast against
the railroad amendment than were
cast against the plan to abolish town
ship Officers.
