Sosthern Corn PUDDING.

Green corn can hardly be improved
by any way of cooking, but let me
make suggestion about a corn pud-
ding which came from an old colored
cook in the South. Cut the raw corn
from six ears, first scoring down the
middle of each row, add two well-beat-
en- eggs and half pint of hot milk
in which has been melted a good-sized
piece of butter. Beat the whole well,
add two tablespoonfuls of sugar and a
little salt. Bake In a deep buttered
dish for three-quarters of an hour

STARTS MOVE FOR
STATE CLEANUP
Board OF Health Seeks to Pre-
vent Outbreak of Child
Plague Next Year.
APPEALS TO LOCAL OFFICERS
Every City and Village in Wisconsin
Is Urged to Take Measures for
improvement of Sanitary
Conditions.

Madison.-To forewarn Wisconsin
citizens of the danger of a serious
epidemic of infantlle paralysis next
year, the state board of health has ad-
dressed a communication to every
health officer in the state asking that
public action be instituted at once TO
restrict the possibility of a general out
break. Health officers are asked to
take up with mayors, councils or
boards of health the betterment of san
itary conditions.
Every city and village in the state
is petitioned to enact ordinances COW
ering garbage, alleys, manure piles,
cesspools, dust. debris OF any type, low
places where water accumulates. and
rubbish of all kinds. 1t is advised that
homes be screened against flies in the
spring, and general cleanup of the
interior of the homes insisted upon,
and that If the results sought are not
cleanliness be adopted.
I'VE believe that this procedure can
be taken with little expense" says the
boards communicated, land In doing
so not only will the possibility of an
epidemic be lessened, but the protec-
ton of the children win be increased
against other diseases which have
from time to time been a large factor
in increasing the death rate"
WiScOnSin's incidence of infantile
paralysis, now about 275 cases since
July l. is not regarded as an epidemic,
being scattered very generally through
ont the state. lite abatement is ex-
pected with colder weather.
State Health Officer G. A. Harper.
who attended the recent Washington
conference on infantile paralysis. in
forms the health officers the general
opinion of sanitarians throughout the
country is that there will be danger
OF a serious epidemic next year in the
states mildly affected this year unless
uGusual precautions are used to bring
about conditions unfavorable to the de-
velopment of the disease. Experience
in New York and New Jersey proved
conclusively that the disease has not
occurred in any patients confined in
hospitals for ailments other than polio
myelitis. This proves that cleanliness
of the environment, freedom from dust
and flies, and the hygienic and sani-
tary methods associated with hospitals
are important factors in safeguarding
children. Eastern experience this year
also shows that lower general death
rate has resulted from cleanup cam.
paigns instituted in the cities.

VENizELos FLEEs IN BOAT.
Former Greek Premier Picked Up at
Sea by Merchant Ship.

QGa W WGtItHFA SAAtF-
Athens. Sept -, via L0ndon.-M.
veuizeIos, the former premier, left
Athens at five o'clock Monday morn
ing. The merchant ship Hesperia
picked him up from a boat ir the open
sen.
1t is said that NJ V4nizelos will
first visit Crete and tnen proceed to
Snloniki.
(The inference from the above dis
patch Is that NJ venlzelos was forced
TO flee from Athens secretly in order
TO carry out his plans for a revoIu-
ton which would put Greece into the
war on the side of the allies. The
fact that be was obliged to put to sea
in an open boat reveals that the king
still controls Athens. though adher-
ents of Veuizelos have seized control
in most of the country except where
the Germans and BuIgarians have
military power.l
Thirty thousand armed Cretans
now control Crete IN behalf of Veni-
zelos. They have turned over all gov
eminent buildings to the leaders Of
the separatist movement.
Many Of Venizelos' most ardent
supporters have been urging him TO
end the situation at Atlh.ns by over
throwing the king.
The complete success OF the revolu-
tionists on the Island of Crete is said
to have inspired him to immediate
action.

That engineers and firemen in the

COUNT APP0NYI EXPECTS
AMERICA TO MEDIATE
Austrian Diplomat Expresses His
Faith in Washington-Looks to
U. S. for Peace.

London. Sept. 25.-Budapest papers
received In London contain the fol-
lowing report of IA statement made by
Count Albert Apponyi in the Hunga-
rian parliament in the course of
speech on the foreign policy of the
government regarding the absence Of
the Austro-Hungarian ambassador in
Washington:
at is one of the failures of the for
eign minister that he did not appoint
an ambassador in place of the dis
charged AustrO-Hungarian ambassa-
dor at Washington. We are all liv-
ing IA hope that when at last peace
comes and when the time arrives for
a neutral power TO offer her services
it will be the great republic across the
Atlantic as most fit for a work of
such magnitude.
1--WE all hope the United States adj
ministratiOn will take the affair in
hand sooner or later when they deem
it proper to do so, and we find our
selves not even represented diplomat
ically in a proper manner.
II know that certain steps or hints
were offered on the part Of the
United States to the effect that the
position of ambassador should be
filled by the monarchy. In spite of
this we have not moved, although the
interests of the monarchy demand
that we should have a reliable and
able representative there"
In Hungarian political circles it is
rumOred that should Count Apponyi
himself be asked to accept the mis-
sion as ambassador 10 Washington
he would not refuse to do so, and
that his appointment would be re-
ceived most favorably In America.

THE COST OF PAPER.

A fact the News is trying to impress upon
you through it's advertising columns is that "a
condition, not a theory, confronts us" We are
going to advance our subscription price to those
who get their papers by carrier boys, from so
cents to IS Gems per month, not because we want
to, but because we have to. No grocer can sell
flour at the present price of wheat, at SIS per bar
rel and keep out of the bankrupt court. No more
can the News sell its paper at SOC per month, at
the present price of white paper and meet ex-
penses.-Hattiesburg News.
The conditions prompting the proprietors and
managers of the News to increase the price of
subscription has given the managers of the DEM
ocrat some serious thoughts during the past sew
eral months as the price of white print paper
doubled and then trebled. The subscription price
of the Democrat is lower than any daily paper of
its size in the state, and while we have decided to
continue its publication at the present price for
a while longer with the hope that the price of
paper will become lower, if the price goes higher
or continues even as high as now, we will sooner
or later be forced to raise the price.-Greenvjlle
Daily Democrat.
