China, which can afford it the least,
is to spend more money on its dis
play at the Panama exposition at San
Francisco, than any other foreign
power. All of which indicates that
nations have pretty much the same
failings~ as humans. One rule is for
the poor man to splurge beyond his
means.

states. During the two weeks of the

REAL CORN BREAD.

We rarely venture here to question
the edicts issued in any cookery and
new freedom there are some duties
man must perform even in fields that
are not properly his. When it comes
to corn bread we issue an ultimatum
At times there seems reason to believe
that there is black conspiracy against
good, honest corn bread. We read
this newspaper recipe for making corn
meal mullins: "Cornmeal Mullins
Sift together half cup Of flour, cup
in Indian meal, teaspoonful of bak-
ing powder and a half teaspoonful Of
salt; into a pint of milk whip three
beaten eggs, teaspoonful of melted
cottolene or other fat and two table
5poonfuls graduated sugar, etc" We
do not know what would come out Of
the oven in the event anybody chose
to follow that strange advice. 1t might
be cake. 1t would not be corn muf-
fins. We violently denounce the
heresy that corn bread should be
adLlterated and corrupted by the ad-
dition of either sugar or flour. We
aren't ashamed to stand up and fight
for such a cause. We glory in it, for
we know real corn bread.-New York
