pie in South in Cities and Towns
as Well as in Country.

In response to Champ Clark's ad-
vice that there should be a greater
use of corn as food, the epicure Of
the New York Sun makes this sage
observation concerning cornbread:
''It was well thought of in this
country as human food, so, 49, perhaps
80 years ago. But in an unfortunate
day even poor folks began to neglect
corn. Dressed up as hominy it still
had a certain popularity; parents were
willing that their children should eat
it thus. Treated with baking powder,
salt, plenty of rich cream and butter,
it was still made into hot bread some
were not ashamed to eat"
This serves chiefly in this part of
the country to show how little the
South and SOutherners are computed
rs a part of the country, and how lit
supposed enlightened centers of what
constitutes good eating, says the Nash
vile (Tenn.) Banner.
1t is assuredly not necessary to use
the past tense when corn as human
| food is spoken of in the South. Corn
bread is used preferably by thousands
of well-to-do people of the South, in
| the cities and towns, as well as in the
rural districts.
Bob Taylor used to say one essen
tial difference between the South and
North is "hot biscuit and cold light
bread" The negro cooks in the South
made hot bread for each meal prac
ticable, while the thrifty housewife:
of the North had baking days." wher
enough bread was baked for a week
That was where the difference mainl!

CUBA BUYS AMERICAN PAPER
Manufacturers of United States Get
Most of Trade Held by Germany
Before the War.

Cuba imported $3,30O,OOO worth Of
paper in 1916 and American manufac-
turers furnished over 20 per cent Of
that total, according to bulletin is
sued by Uncle Sans bureau Of foreign
and domestic commerce recently. This
trade has been growing rapidly in re-
cent months and from all indications
has not yet reached it's limit.
A large share Of the new business
and the business formerly going to Ger
many has come to the United States,
but unless unusual care is taken there
will be a tendency to return to old
sources Of supply when the war is over,
it is declared.
Spain and Norway are the next mos
important sources of supply after the
United States, but Spain is not wholly
competitor, as its exports to Cuba
consist principally of handmade
writing paper and cigarette paper, with
which American manufacturers al ap-
parently unable to compete. Norway
is an active competitor in newsprint
and wrapping paper, and the exports
from that country are likely to in.
crease as soon as normal shipping con.
ditions are restored. The trade that
Germany formerly had, consisting
largely of coated book paper, en-
velopes, wrapping paper, cardboard
and lithographic goods, amounting tc
$250,O00 a year, has gone principally
| to tho Tinted States although in 1ithO
graphic goods England has increased
it's sales $4,000 since Germany disap
peared from the market.

Sun-Heated Water.

Seventy-five per cent of the homes
in southern California, it is said, have
solar heaters, which furnish the hot
water for domestic purposes. The ar
rangement is simple, and consists of
water pipes placed on the roof of a
house under a glass top and under
meath them some sheets of copper
painted black. Under the rays of the
sun the water expands, creating a cir
culation thereof in the pipes until the
water reaches the boiling point, and
1t will remain hot for more than 4S
hours after the sun stops shining.
1t is not eften that there is any fail
ure of sunshine for more than two or
three days, and as a consequence there
is hot water sufficient for all pur-
poses with rare exceptions throughout
the year. The cost of a solar heater
is not great, and handy man can
make one for himself.

Women Melting Prejudice.

Fifty years ago trained nurses were
unknown in this country. In 1873 GER
tain ladies of New York decided to es-
tablish a school of nursing at Bellevue
hospital. Mrs. Joseph Hobson, who
was one of the founders, says in her
book, "Recollections of Happy Life: -
strange to say, doctors were our
chief antagonists, the doctors of the
Bellevue medical board. Not all OF
them, by any means, but enough to
hamper and hinder and add to our diff
ficulties."
The conservative Doctors were es-
pecially trying. ''We were Ignorant
women interfering with what was
none of our business" and
"they were utterly opposed to our in
reference A year later the same
board passed a resolution heartily in
dorsing the work.
In the same way many Englishmen
opposed Florence Nightingale; and al
the beginning Of the present war the
offers of service from woman doctors
were not accepted. Now women il
England are being urged to take med
| ical training.

Had Their Tickets.

Mary Ellen, the colored maid, had
been carefully instructed by her new
mistress in number of things con-
cerning which she appeared to be pro-
foundly unenlightened. Particular
stress had been laid upon the proper
manner of receiving visitors and of
informing the mistress of their pres
ence in the house.
Perhaps altogether to much had
been said about it or perhaps Mary
Ellen had stage fright at the crucial
moment, for when the first callers
came after Mary Ellen's advent into
the family she "ushered" them only
as far as lust inside the hall door.
Taking the cards they gave her, and
leaving the visitors standing there, she
went to the foot of the staircase and
shouted:

FRIENDSHIP is TRUE WEALTH
This Fact Was Recognized by Unusual
Legacy Made in Will of Late
Justice Lamar.

In the will Of the late Justice Lamar
of the United States Supreme court
there was one very unusual legacy. He
bequeathed his friendships to his fam
lily.
''To my family" the will runs, ST be-
queath friendships many and numerous
in the hope that they will be cherished
and continued. True friendships are the
most valuable of our earthly posses
sions, more precious than gold, more
enduring than fame. AS Henry
Drummond has well said, Friendship
religion is!"
The family that inherits such wealth
is truly rich, observes a writer in the
Youths Companion. But it is legacy
that must be used if it would be pre-
served. Friendships cannot be locked
away in safes or lent to historical ex-
hibits and museums. Like love and
faith and courage, they belong to that
intangible treasure of the soul that
must be kept from destruction by con-
things that trust doth corrupt"
How many of us have let slip
through busy or careless fingers the
beautiful and glowing friendships OF
| our youth? We did not mean to &c
it; indeed, we have often regretted
| the loss until, as the years pass, the re
gret gradually fades away. And if thai
is true of our own friends, how fal
more true of our fathers friends! Ye1
| there have been families where friend
ships have passed down from father tt
son for several generations.
There is food for thought here. How
many fathers are building up fine ant
loyal and serviceable friendships tha
they can with pride and gratitude be
queath to their sons? How many moth
ers are storing up like treasures fo
their daughters? The question doe'
not end there. How many young peo
pie of today are fitting themselves t.
receive such legacies? How many il
all the varied and urgent calls of lif
are needing the challenge to max
themselves worthy of friendships b,
being loyal and fine tempered and gen
erous friends themselves?
ga man that hath friends" the oil
book of wisdom declares, must shoN

own friend and thy fathers friend fol

CHAPTER vi.
A Notice to Quit.


Once started and given its push. the
gray roadster drifted backward from
the railroad crossing and kept on until
it came TO rest in the sag at the turn
in the road. Running to Overtake it,
Smith found that the young woman
was still trying Intellectually to free
herself. In releasing the clutch her
dress had been caught, and Smith was
glad enough to let the extricating of
the caught skirt and the cranking of
the engine serve for a breath-catching
recovery.
When he stepped back to ''tune" the
spark the young woman had subsided
into the mechanician's seat and was
relying her veil with fingers that were
not any too steady. She was small
but well-knit; her hair was a golden
brown and there was a good deal of
| it; her eyes were set well apart, and
in the bright morning sunlight they
were a slaty gray-of the exact shade
of the motor veil she was rearranging.
Smith had a sudden conviction that he
had seen the wide-set eyes before; also
the straight little nose and the half
boyish mouth and chin, though where
he had seen them the conviction could
give no present hint.
Il sup-pup-suppose l ought to say
something appropriate" she was be-
ginning, half breathlessly, while Smith
stood at the fender and grinned.
'You don't have to say anything. It's
been a long time since I've had a
chance to make such a bully grand
stand play as this" And then
You're Colonel Baldwin's daughter,
aren't youY'
She nodded, saying:
"How did you know?"
81 know the car. And you have your
fathers eyes,"
She did not seem to take it amiss
that he was making her eyes q basis
for comparisons. She was her fathers
only son, as well as his only daughter
and she divided her time pretty evenly
in trying to live up to both sets of re
quirements.
"You have introduced me; wo-won't
you introduce yourselfT she said
when a second crash of the shifting
freight train spent itself and gave hel
an opening.
I'm Smith," he told her; adding
"It's my real name"
Her laugh was an instant easing
of tensions.
'Oh, yes; you're Mr.. Williams as
sistant. I've heard colonel-da-m!
father, speak of you"
''No," he denied in blunt honesty
I'm not Williams assistant; at least
the pay roll doesn't say so. Up at tn,
camp they call me the HobO.'"
The young woman had apparent,
regained whatever small fraction O
self-possession the narrow escape hat
shocked aside.
"Are they never going to take tha
miserable train out of the way?" sh
exclaimed. "Pve got to see Mr.. VIII
liams, and there isn't a minute t
spare. ColOnel-da-I mean my father
has gone up to Red Butte, and a littl
while ago they telephoned over to tn
ranch from the Brewster office to sa
that there was going to be some NOR

FOR WHEATLESS MEALS
Uncle Sans Experts Urge
Greater Use of Corn.
Product Has Not Been Used for Hu.
man Food Nearly as Much as Its
Value Has Warranted.

'Begin today to eat more cornmeal
and hominy grits in place of wheat
flour and wheat breakfast foods" is
the message Uncle Sans department
OF agriculture is sending out broadcast
to housewives. "Try a wheatless
breakfast tomorrow and then extend
the wheatless idea to other days or
meals" the dietary specialists suggest.
70 help the public, use cornmeal as
wheat substitute, the department has
ordered large editions of Farmers Bull
letin 565, Corn Meal AS a Food And
Ways of Using It." This bulletin
shows that cornmeal dishes can be
made to take the place of those made
OF wheat, and supplies more than fifty
tested recipes for it's use for breakfast,
luncheon, and dinner.
Corn, a great natural breadstuff of
this country, the departments special
lists point out, has not been used for
human food nearly as much as it's val
liable nutritive qualities warrant.
This is due largely to the fact that
| many persons with a wheat-using hab-
| it never have taken the pains to learn
| to use corn. There is no important
| dietetic difference between corn and
! wheat as sources Of body fuel. Bread
is convenient as a source of starch and
protein but in the ordinary mixed diet
it makes little difference whether one
gets the required cereal ration in the
form Of raised or light bread, mixed
bread or biscuits, or as mush, hominy
grits, or desserts.
To those who wish to try wheatless
meals, the department suggests the fol-
lowing:
As a substitute for wheat breakfast
foods, try white or yellow corn meal
or hominy grits, served with cream
and sugar, butter, sirup, or fresh or
dried fruit.
AS a substitute for wheat biscuits
rolls, or toast, the housewife can EN-.
ploy a dozen different forms of corn
bread, such as hoe cake, dodgers, soft
or spoon corn bread. hominy bread
corn meal and rye, Boston brown
bread, Zuni Indian bread, etc.
Fried corn meal mush, fried hom
my, or corn meal pancakes made will
very little wheat flour, will be found 6
pleasing variation from wheat cakes
Corn meal Goldfish cakes, corn mea
scrapple, corn meal croquettes, corr
meal or hominy cooked with meat, fish
cheese, eggs or milk, will supply nour
ishing dishes for the hearty courses
Hominy grits and coarse homin.
(sometimes called samp) may b,
boiled and used like macaroni or 9th
, er wheat pastes to serve as side dishe
Z with meat.
; For dessert, Indian pudding, cor
: meal and fig or apple pudding, appl
dumplings, corn meal doughnuts, gir
gerbread, cake, fruit gems, ETC., vii
: contribute variety as well as nourist
E ment to the bill of fare.
