brown bread, bran bread, rye, and bar
ley will give us a variety from which
to choose. When preparing the
breakfast oatmeal a larger quantity
will cook nearly as soon, and the left
over amount may be put into we'll
creased pan, and when cold cut in neat
slices. This if fried nicely in sweet
fat makes a most wholesome hot dish
which will take the place of meat. We
all know the value of cornmeal mush,
both as a cereal and as a breakfast
dish sliced and fried. Nuts, fruit, or
bits Of meat added to the hot mush
make it more palatable and more nour-
fishing.
In most of the breads little wheat
flour is essential to keep the materials
together and when yeast is used %
provide the gluten to hold in the gases
so that the bread will rise.
Rice Muffns.-Sift together half a
cupful of cornmeal, cupful of pastry,
half teaSpOonful of salt, four tea
spoonfuls of baking powder, two ia
blespoonfuls Of sugar. Beat one egg
and one egg yolk, add half cupful of
milk, and when well mixed with the
dry ingredients, add three tablespoon
,fuls of melted shortening with a cup
full Of boiled rice. Bake in we'll but
tered muffin pans Is minutes. The
fice should be boiled tender and be
quite moist.
When serving rice in various ways
care should be taken to see that it is
well done, as it is unwholesome I'M
Ger done.
Bran Bread.-Scald a cupful of milk,
add two tablespoonfuls of shortening,
a half teas1oonful of salt and three
tablespoonfuls of molasses. When
lukewarm add a cake Of yeast soft
ened IN a quarter of cupful of water,
add one cupful of entire wheat flour
and bran to make a soft dough. Do
not knead. Let stand we'll covered I'M
til light, cut down and turn inG1 a
breadpan. When doubled in bulk, bake
one hour.
Ice is a large item in many house
holds; care in quickly apening and
closing the chest will make a great
saving in ice. Some housekeepers
wrap the ice ir newspapers and keep
a few folded and laid over the ice,
which saves wasting.

XIII Rats and Save Food.

The many economies being practtsed
Oy North Carolina farmers to save all
food possible is of no avail if he is to
alloW the rats and mice to make way
with more food and feedstuffs than he
can save by careful economy. It is
estimated that the loss due to destruc-
tlon by rats on the average North Car
onna farm will pay the taxes of that
larn with some to spare. According to
bulletin received from the United
states Department OF Agriculture, the
destruction Of food and property in the
united States amounts to millions

Seven pardons granted by Governor
Beckett brings his total during the ten
months of his administration to 172
against the 432 during Governor
Craigs term. But the pardon gates
are becoming increasingly difficult to
open Sweeping surveys of prisoners
of the State have been followed by
patches of pardons for men who, alone
and without outside influence, have
not thought of liberty. Generally
speaking, Governor Beckett is getting
down to the rock bottom and it is I'M

going to be few and far between.

suuqests Aid For Families at HON,

Suggests A1o fOr T aT0IISS aG F7OHlS'
Governor Beckett appealed to the
chairmen of the County Councils Of
National Defense asking them to take
steps at once to look after the fami-
lies of soldiers, and especially to see
to it that where there is poverty and
sickness that these people are extend
ed not only whatever financial aid is
necessary but also given human SYM
pathy.
Governor Beckett quoted at length
from a letter he has received from
zone of the most intelligent officers
at Camp Sewer, in which the officer
called attention to tn need of encour-
aging the people back home.
"The men here do not need Christ
mas presents or feasts," the officer
said, ''they are all well cared for, have
their friends and acquaintances, but
they can not fully devote themselves
to their work because they are think
ing continuously of the dependents
back home"
Governor Beckett also urged that at
tention be given to the matter of al
lowances which the government has
provided for the dependents of sol
dfers, asking that the county coun-
ellis give advice and instruction as to
the manner of making up claims
against the government for these al
lOwanceS.

Just sent out the following:
week after week the casualties re-
ported to the North Carolina 1nsur-
ance Department show signs of gross
carelessness and add to the already
far too long list of dead and injured
who have been sacrificed on the altar
Of negligence. Looming large among
the causes for this carelessness Is the
habit Of using kerosene to start fires.
In spite of warnings and citations OF
the horrible results, people are still
observing this reckless practice IN
many parts of North Carolina The
following item is taken from a recent
issue Of one of the state papers:
"a frame dwelling opposite tho
Southern depot at Advance, Davle
County, was burned this morning at
$50 o'clock, and Mr.. and Mrs. II. K.
Williams and Mr. Williams aged MOTH
small children rescued, were not
burned so badly It is stated that Mr.
Williams rose about $50 and was in
the act of starting a fire with kero-
sene OIL Indications are that the Oil
was poured on the wood and match
struck to light the fire when by some
means the can exploded, throwing oil
on Mr.. Williams. The flames spread
over his clothing and in trying to ex-
tnguish them Mrs. Williams caught
IN fire.
The aged mother of Mr.. Williams
rushed to the bed and picked UP her
little grandchild and in passing out
OF the room her clothing became ig-
nited and she fell in a faint. The 6,
yearold daughter of Mr.. Williams took
the child and carried 1t outside the

Twenty-four county jai1s, recently
inspected by officials of the State
Board of Health, have made an aver
age score of Sc out of a possible 100,
which the State Board of Health pro-
nounces as unsatisfactory. The in
snecton was conducted under the au-
thoritv conveyed by an act of the last
legislature. The examination had to
do particularly with provisions for the
health of the prisoners, and examin-
ers dealt mainly with precautions
against vermin, ventilation, floor
space water supply, sewerage dis
nosal furniture, recreation, clothing,
bathing, beds, flies and mosquitoes.
Before the last examination seven
other county jails had been inspected
with similar results. The results Of
inspections for the entire State will
be included in a booklet to be pub
Hshed by the State Board Of Health
not later than March, 1919, which will
contain, in addition to the reports of
the surveys and gradfngs determined
bv the score card system, actual pho
tographs of conditions.

scores, are: Buncombe, So; Burke,
