The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-12-26

The first emotion on receiving an unusually fine Christmas present is commonly one of dismay at the return that will be looked for and seem ap- propriate next year.
 Singing of Christmas carols about the streets is modern and pretty custom and it is just as affective mus ically if it is done before bedtime at 10 p. m.
 It is not considered good strategy to get married at Christmas time, as your friends may be shrewd enough to combine Christmas and wedding presents in ona-

A UNIQUE RtCOaD
Very Few Like Ii In Oar Broad
Republic.

Grateful testimony for Doan's Kid-
ney Pills, published everywhere, is Of
itself convincing evidence of merit.
Confirmed testimony forms still
stronger evidence. Years ago, a citi-
Zen ji this locality gratefully acknowl-
edged the benefit derived from Doan's
Kidney Pills. The statement is now
confirmed-the proof more cJnvinc-
ing. Cases of this kind are plentiful
in the work of Doan's Kidney Pills
the record is unique.
Mrs, A. T. Lee, Ektop, KY, says:
Kidney disease made me miserable
and could not turn in bed without
my back being racked with pain. My
strength had left me and | thought |
had little longer to live. The kidney
secretions were unnatural. fused a
box of Deans Kidney Pills and re-
ceived relief at once. Continued use
made me well and strong"
Over three years later, Mrs. Lee
said: 81 still use Doan's Kidney Pills
occasionally and ind them an excel
lent medicine for kidney trouble. f"

AT LAST FOOLED HIMSELF
Naval Constructor contrives Analogy
Between Some Governments and a
Small Boy.

Naval Constructor Emery s.
Land, the submarine expert, was
talking about the psychology of war
communicates.
"When governments issue false
communiques-the governments at
war are often convicted of doing 50
Il suppose their theory is that il
you keep on saying a thing firmly
enough everybody will believe it.
cts like the story of the boy on
the steamboat excursion.
"a boy boarded an excursion
steamer after she had got filled up.
There were no seats vacant. Every
bench and camp chair was occupied.
"The boy then devised a trick.
Seen the whale p he began to ask the
excursionists near him. "They got a
young whale tied to the pier on the
other side and he's cavortin' around
with his tail like anything
"Nobody believed the boy at first.
His whale story was laughed at. But
he kept on repeating it. Up and
down he strobe, urging everyone to
go and look at the struggling whale
on the other side of the boat and
gradually, one by one, the passen-
gers began to think he must be
speaking the truth, and got up and
crossed over.
"The boy secured seat. Soon he
could have secured a dozen, two
dozen, a hundred seats. For the
whale story had at last got in its
work. Everybody had hurried off, so
as not to piss the whale. The boy
in the end was left absolutely alone.
'He sat alone for some time. He
began to fume and wriggle and fret.
Finally, he hoped up, and he, too,
rushed to the other side of the boat,
muttering:
by gosh, maybe there is wha
there, after allp"

To Mend the Screens.

The broken door or window screen
is an eyesore all summer if it is left
unmended or the repairing is done
clumsily The neatest way to mend
the screen is to cut a piece of wire
netting about three inches larger than
the hole. Remove the wires around
the edge Of the patch for half an inch
or more. like drawing away the
threads from a piece of linen Bend
the resulting prongs at right angles
and fit the patch in place with the
wire ends sticking through the screen.
Press the patch fiat against the larger
surface, then on the other side press
the ends back to their original posi-
ton. This secures the patch.

AONEYS MANYUSES.
ARTICLE REALLY is NOT PROPER
LY APPRECIATED.
Healthy and Economical Food Should
&c Far More Widely Used Than II
is-3ore Ways to
Employ It.

Honey IS one Of the healthie5t and
most economical foods. and Il is not
only delicious, but has invaluable
medicinal qualities. II cannot, of
course. take the place Of sugar. as
sugar Is more convenient, for one
thicg, bit Il is better adapted to GER
tain cooking than sugar and its flavor
is an I'D in securing that variety
which all cooks are seeking.
For instance cream cheese and
honey, either liquid or in the comb,
makes a delicious and healthful combi-
nation.
Two ounces Of hogsy and six ounces
OF Strawberries, with three ounces OF
cottage cheese, two ounces of bread
and two-thiGds of an ounce of butter,
the latter either spread on the bread
or mixed with the cheese, makes a
very well-balanced meal
AS a filing for sandwiches. honey
may be used with chopped nuts. or the
nuts may be added to cheese and
honey for the same purpose.
Honey can be used instead of strip
or jam with cereals and pancakes, and
If little hot water is added to it it
will be easier to pour. 1t is more con-
venient than sugar for sweetening
lemonade or other fruit drinks, as it
does not have to be dissolved. With
charged water it has less of ten
dency to expel the gas. Solid honey
makes a delicious filling for cake.
1t may be substituted for molasses
in all forms OF bread and cake cook
cry, and gives a more delicate flavor.
1t contains less acid than molasses,
and so requires less soda in recipes
which form when poured into cold
water. Beat the white of the egg until
stiff, and when the strip has cooled
slightly pour over the egg, beating the
mixture constantly until it will hold
it's shape. This frosting is suitable
for use between layers of cakes, but
is rather too soft for the top.
Cakes made with honey will keep
fresh much longer than when sugar
is used. Indeed, IL butter is omitted
they will keep for months. and even
improve in flavor.
Honey can be used in a variety OF
ways for preserving. A good jelly may
be made by combining a cupful Of
apple juice with cupful of honey and
proceeding as in ordinary jelly max.
ing. Other combinations Of the sort
could probably be worked out.
Cranberries cooked in honey and
water are delicious. Take equal
weights Of each of the ingredients,
and after pricxing each berry several
times to prevent bursting and permit
the strip to penetrate to the interior,
cook them slowly until they are soft
and boil down the strip until 1t just
covers them. Pour into glasses and
cover like jelly. A good method is to
place all the ingredients in a doubts
boiler and heat them very slowly. II
this method is followed the boiling
down Of the strip is even more neces.
sary than when the berries are cooked
more rapidly. Honey is good to use
with sugar for candies, because Il
causes it to remain soft.

Prof. A. E. Akers, Superin-
tendent of County Schools,
states that the County Teachers
Institute which meets next week
will be held in Weldon instead OF
Roanoke Rapids as at first con-
templated. This action was
rendered absolutely necessary on
account of the fact that &C.
commodations could not be pre-
vided here for the teachers ex-
pected to attend the Institute.
This Institute would have been
a good thing for the community
and we think we have sustained
an actual loss on account of the
change. The circumstance
which have caused this loss are,
however, potentially much more
detrimental to the prestige and
welfare of the community than
this particular incident.
Roanoke Rapids needs a good
hotel one with sufficient ac-
comodations to satisfy the rea-
sonable demands of the the
travelling public and to enable
the gathering here Of bodies of
visitors without utterly bank
rupting the towns capacity for
hospitality.
