Cultured Buttermilk Replaces That From
Sour Milk.

The term, buttermilk. has for many
years been applied tothe product left al-
ter churning milk or cream and abstract
ing the butter. In the last few years a
new kind oi buttermilk has been placed
on the market which is rapidly dis.
placing the old fashioned, home-churn-
eh product. Some prejudiced exists
against this manufactured buttermilk
but, according to DR.. NJ. p. Rayenei
oil the preventive medicine department
OF the University Of Missouri, it is real
ly cleaner, has better taste and is
more suitable for food purposes than
the old product.
Butter manufactures do not depend
on the accidental souring Of milk as
formerly, says Dr., RaveneI, but are
using pure culture starters" as they
are called. So in manufacturing but

skinned milk, and an artificial butter.

Slightly diieren: methods exists, but
this receipt represents the newer pro.
duct and will show people what they
are drinking when they take the manu-.
factured buttermilk. One gallon Of
whole milk is added to twenty gallons
oI skinned milk as soon as it has been
separated. This is not necessary, but
is done because most people like to
see some signs Of butter fat in butter
milk. Starter is added, and the
whole qusntity OF milk it kept at 10
degrees F. for six or seven hours, when
it will be found to have curdled. Itis

A Dangerous Precedent.

For the first time in the history 0
the country the president Of the Uni
ted States has voluntarily taken upor
himself the settlement Of labor disputes
Without any legal authority President
Wilson has called the presidents OF the
railways and the representatives Of the
trainmau before him and is using the
power Of his high Office to compel an
agreement upon a basis which the
parties on one side consider arbitrary
and unfair. In 1904 Presiden, Roos
Veit effected settlement oithe anihra-
cite coal strike in Pennsylvania, but
that was at the solicitation OF the inter
ests involved, and he made no attempt
to judge the issues. He secured
joint agreement to submit the matter
to commission Of investigation aud
accept its findings. Mr.. Wilson has
assumed the right to be judge and jury
and TO render a verdict without lrlal.
It is true enough that the circumstanc.
es are extraordinary and justly exIaor
dinary action. II is true enough tha.
the country is alarmed at the dread
possibilities Of such a strike as that
which threatens. But justice should
not be dethroneed because of a nation
al emergency, nor should a dictator
ship be set up on the excuse Of public
duty.
Without any investigation Of the
claims Of the contending parties, Presi
dent Wilson has reached a decision
conceding the maj jJr demand Of the
trainmen, and calls upon the railroads
to accept his judgment regardless Of
the merits Of their contention, and re
gardless Of the consequences to the
railroads themselves. The railroads in
sist that the entire question be left to
arbitration, contending that only in
this manner can the rights or the
wrongs oil the controversy be accurate
ly disclosed. The president says that
arbitration is impossible because the
trainmen refuse to submit their case
to arbitration. Therefore the only
thing to be done, from his standpoint,
is to give the trainmen what they want

Thus it will be seen that in the later
years the Democrats have been casting
practically their full strength in the
primaries--take the year 1914 there
were 22,788 Democratic votes in the
primary and only 22.2oS Democratic
at the general election, difference Of
OF only S07 votes while in the same
year (l9l4) the Republicans cast only
1910 votes in the primary. but in
the general election polled 22,266, a
difference Of 10,076.
Again it will be noticed that in 1916
the Republicans cast 5507 more votes
in the primary than in 1914, and 1902
more votes than the party ever polled
in primary.
The tables OF figures above show
that large per cent of Republicans
votes do not vote in the primaries,
while exactly the converse is true Of
the Democrats and at the recent pr
mary it is fair to conclude that prsc
'ically full democratic vote was cast
because that party had seven candi.
dates for governor and Mr.. Russell had
the benefit 'Ol their campaigns.
With reunited party the l4lh dis
trict is Republican by at least 1900
and there can be no substantial doubt
about the election Of the nominee, for

Clear, Peachy Skin

Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break
fast helps US look and feel
clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry,
bright, elert-a good, clear skin and a
natural, rosy, healthy complexion are
assured only by pure blood. If only
every man and woman could be Undue
ed to adopt the morning inside bath,
what a gratifying change would take
place. Instead of the thousands of
sickly, misunderstanding men, women
and girls, with pasty or muddy COM
plexions; instead of the multitudes of
nerve wrecks" "rundowns," brain
flags" and pessimists we should see a
virile, optimistic throng of rosy
checked people everywhere.
An inside bath is had by drinking
each morning, before breakfast, glass
of real hot water with teaspoonful Of
limestone phosphate in it to WASH
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
ten yards of bowels the previous days
indigestible waste, sour lamentations
and poisons, thus cleansing, sweeten-

Those subject to sick headache, bill

colds; and particularly those who have
pallid, sallow complexion and who
are constipated very often, are urged
to obtain quarter pound of limestone
phosphate at the drug store which will
cost but trife, but is sufficient to
demonstrate the quick and remarkable
change in both health and appearance,
awaiting those who practice internal
sanitation. We must remember that
inside cleanliness is more important
than outside, because the skin does not
absorb impurities to contaminate the
blood while the pores in the thirty feet
of bowels do.

PROPOSALS CALLED
A BORE BY PRETTY
ROUND CHEEK GIRL
(From the New York Tribune.)

(From the New York Tribune.)
Proposals? They're just bore.
And the thousandth one is worse than
the first.
Miss Martha Goetz, 20 years old,
round of cheek and laughing of eye,
looked up from the apple pie she was
deftly sugaring in her fathers bakery
to philosophize sadly upon life, love
and the tiresomeness of being told

1t wasn't just coyness upon Miss
Miss Martha's part that made her con-
denim proposals. She meant what she
said-meant it so firmly and sternly
that Matthew Foertner, AZ years old,
went from the court to the detention
ward at Bellevue hospital.
1t was cream puffs that brought him
into her life, as the story books say,
and Miss Martha will never eat one
again. Shes just that tired of beng

deals out smile with every jelly roll

thought him old and uninteresting
Anyway, she was tired, so tired! of
men who were always buying food.
When you spend your days in a bak-
cry marcaroons lose their first fine

Matthew, blindly indicating two
cream puffs, handed her a quarter and
his heart. She gave it back to him
with the change. Since then he had
proposed to her about thousand
times, usually in the presence of a
dozen or more interested customers

The Iron Gates of Danube Is
One Great Place In History

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 14.-The
Iron Gates, the last great defile of the
Danube in it's course to the Black Sea
and the first point at which the Aus
trians launched an offensive against
their new enemies, the Roumanians, is
described in the following war geog-
raphy bulletin which the National
Geography Society issued today:
Contrary to the general belief of
readers to whom the term Iron Gates
of the Danube is familiar, this fam
Gus defile of the chief waterway OF
Hungary, Roumania, Bulgaria and
Serbia does not derive its name from
precipitous walls of rock through
which the waters dash in a narrow
channel, as the Kazan Defile, but from
the dangerous boulders that fairly lit
ter the river bed a distance of near
ly two miles, beginning at the once
strongly fortified island of Ada Kaleh
which was captured by Hungary in
1873 and is still inhabited by pictur-
esque colony of 500 Turks. Opposite
this island, on the left bank of the
Danube and at the mouth of the incon-
sequential Bachna River, which here
forms the Hungarian-Ro umanian
boundary, is the attractive little Rou-
manian customs village of Verciorova
on the Buda-pest-B railway;
237 miles west of the latter city.
1T was not until 1890 that work was
begun in definite and comprehensive
manner to rid the Iron Gates of some
of it's greatest dangers to navigation.
In that year hungarian engineering
company undertook the task of re-
moving nearly million and a quarter
cubic yards of stone from the water
course. Eight years after the enter
prise was inauguerated the canal
which had been hewn from the solid
rock on the Serbian side of the river
was ready to be thrown open to the
steamers which ply the Danube from
Budapest to the Black Sea. The cam
al was designed to provide a year
round channel ten feet deep, whereas

REPAIRING THE RAyAGES.

No observer has yet had the ability
to estimate the damage of war-ridde1
Europe, still the repairs which will
quickly follow will be almost as rapid
as the destruction came.
An interesting editorial on the sub
iect is from the Savannah Morning
News:
1t seems but few days ago that the
world was reading about the tremen-
dous drive of the German armies upon
Paris, the strange change of direction
of Gen. Won Klucks army and the swift
movement of the soldier burdened
taXicabs of Paris upon his left flank
a war play like that of Jackson at
Observation-Disclosures yet in the last
few days French men and women who
visited the field of the great Battle OF
the Marine found that nature had al
ready healed most of the scare the
great fight left. There are trees with
scared trunks still standing ana traces
CT hastily dug trenches and remnants
Of barbed wire defenses, with great
many graves of heroes, but already the
healing hand of time has been placed
upon the once desolated expanse of
French territory, and in a few more
years little will be left to tell Ia me
language of nature the story of the
tremendous struggle
Yet it would not be supposed that all
OF the scars of war in Europe will he
so quickly healed. There will still be
miles and miles of deep trenches and
underground cayerns that cannot be
so readily smoothed away as were the
shallow trenches of the Marine, al
| though it is true that most of wars
ravages will speedily be repaired
Ruined villages and cities will rise
again in cleanliness and beauty. Hap
Ply children will play and busy traffic
move where it nothing now but dust
and ashes and the acrid smoke of ex-
ploding shells.
Ten years after the war there will
not be much left of the ruins of war
Bridges will be rebuilt, railroads re-
paired, saplings will be taking the
places of destroyed trees, and men
will begin to forget the horrors OF
war and think once again of its glory
For it is fact that wars ravages are
driven from the memories of men just
as from the surface of the eartn. In
the former remain the stories of glory
and heroism; on the latter rise monu.
ments to these same things. Perhaps
it would be better if the memory
chung tenaciously to wars terrors ant
if something was left to keep ever
fresh the terrible fact of wars de

graceful praise-he is one of the nobl-
est Georgians of all.
The race of DR.. L. G. Hardman was a
disappointment to many friends and
politicians. The good doctor has been
a candidate twice, and in both races
has fallen short of the necessary vote
to nominate.
The candidacy of Joseph E. Pottle
materialized in a form which the
friends of Governor Harris anticipat-
ed.
The Recorder fears that some
CT the issues involved in the campaign
of the past months are not dead, and
will again arise as CHASTITY ghosts to
quake Georgia with uncertainty
Would to God that all Georgians could
rally together and work for the best OF
mankind and the growth Of the state.
One thing we feel-Hugh Dorsey AMI
Tom Watson will come to the parting
of the ways, and then the fur will be-
gin to fly. Georgia will witness what
she already endured for number OF
years. And then some other man will
rise who will captivate public favor,
along with the acquiescence of Tom
Watson, and then wear the laurels-
for a season.
There is no paper more loyal to the
nominee of a primary than the Times
Recorder We gladly support the nom
nee, for it is not only pleasure-but
