''Fifty-Fifty"
Biscuits

Have you tried "fifty-ffty biscuits
Uncle Sans latest idea for saving
wheat -four in hot bread? You use two
cupfuls of cornmeal, soy beans which
can be home ground, finely crushed
peanuts. or rice flour to two cupfuls of
white flour. Or you can use one cup
full of cOrnmeal and one cupful of
ground soy beans or crushed peanuts
with the wheat product.
o can make "1fty-fifty" mullins
with n and one-half cupfuls of cook
ed and mashed sweet or Irish potato,
or cooked cereal, or ground soy beans,
to an equal amount of -four. Then
there are 'fifty-fifty' recipes for waf'
ers and for cornmeal cookies.
How to make all these "ffty-ffties"
as well as home methods for entire
cornmeal gems and yeast breads and
rolls made in part of finely crushed
peanuts, sweet or Irish potato, soy
bean meal which can be made at home
by grinding soy beans in a handmill,
rice, cornmeal, or cooked cereals, are
described in detail in United States de-
partment of agriculture circular No. A
81, partial Substitutes for Wheat in
Bread Making" Here is q sample re-
cipe-the one for "ffty-fifty" biscuits
as worked out by Hannah L. Wess-
ling, specialist in home demonstration
work:
Two cupfuls corn meal, ground soy
beans or finely ground peanuts, rice
flour. or other substitute.
Two cupfuls white flour.
-Four ~teaspoonfuls baking powder.
Two t~easpoonfuls salt.
Four tahlespoonfulS shortening.
Liquid sufficient to mix to proper
consistency Il to IL cupuls).
Sift together the flour, meal, salt,
and baking powder twice. Have the
shortening as cold as possible and cut
1t into the mixture with a knife, finally
rubbing it in with the hands. Mix
quickly with the cold liquid (milk,
skim milk. or water), forming a fairly
soft dough which can be rolled on the
board. Turn onto a Toured board roll
into q sheet not over one-half inch
thick; cut into rounds; place these in
lightly Toured biscuit tins Cor shallow
pans), and make 10 to IL minutes in a
rather hot oven. If peanuts are used,
the roasted and shelled nuts should be
finely crushed with a rolling pin.
In making the flour and peanut bis
cults the flour and other dry ingredi-
ents should be sifted together twice
and then mixed thoroughly with the
crushed peanuts.

LACK OF CHARM
CAUSE OF DIVORCES,


Madame Sarah Bernhard, the great
French actress, in a signed article in
the November issue of Harper's Ba-
zaar, attributes the numerous divorces
that have come into the courts of late
years to lack of charm in the women
concerned.
"If | stood at the threshold of life"
says Nine. Bernhard, asking of 1t
something with which to buy happl-
ness, l should beg for charm. For If
one has charm, she will be loved. And
a woman must have love to be hap
by. Beauty does not matter. If a
woman has charm she a secure
whatever she wants-love, success,
power"
But the Divine Sarah also says that
this invaluable quality a be cult
waited, and her prescription in Har-
per's Bazaar reveals the secret.

4 PINE BLUFF MAN
 GIVES EVIDENCE
His Testimony Will Interest Every Pine Bluff Reader.

The value of loca1 evidence IS in' disputable. It Is the kind of evidence we accept as true because we know we can prove it for ourselves. There has been plenty of such evidence in the Pine Bluff papers lately, and this ht-forward testimony has es- tablished confidence in the minds of Pine Bluff people that will not be easily shaken.
 William H. Schaaf, blacksmith, 319 E. Third street. Pine Bluff, says: ''I was bothered the greater part of my life with weak kidneys. I had a dull ache in my back for long time and there were sharp, shooting pains across my kidneys. My kidneys acted too freely day and night. Dizzy spells distressed me and specks seemed to float before my eyes Doan's Kidney Pills put my kidneys in good shape and did me good in every way. I always keep supply of Doan's on hand"
 Price, soc, at all dealers. Don simply ask for kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. Schaaf had. Foster Milburn O., Props, Buffalo, N. Y.

Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

NF course you will like \ , this dress because 1t shows
 the barrel effect without exaggeration. It is of the sim pie one-piece sort that is easy to adjust and it gives very smart lines. If you want 1t for afternoon occasions, you can copy 1t in silk, taffcta or char mouse or pongcc. Ii you want 1t for morning, you can CODY it in linen or in handkerchief lawn or in 9ingham and the ginghanls are exceedingly smart this season For afternoon wear, some women will like the bell-shapcd sleeves, and they are very pretty as Well as very fashionable. Here, one material is used throughout but still different effect could be obtained by making the lower part of the skirt and the trimming of a striped material and the blo1ise and upper part of the skirt of a plain one, or, you could use gingham for the blouse part of the skirt, the collar and cuffs and Voi!e to match the pre- dominating color for blouse and upper portion of skirt.
 For the medium size will be needed, 431 yards of material 30 inches wide with $s yard 30 for the trimming.
 The pattern No. O42O is cut in sizes from 34 to A inches bust measure. It will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, ca receipt of fifteen cents,
 Here is a street costume that you can make of wool jersey or of serge, or of gab- ardine or of taffeta or of satin and be quite certain that you will be correct whichever you choose. 1t will be more dressy in one than another but the design is adapted to them ali. Colored wool jersey with trim ming of white is one of the newest fancies and very pretty one. The material is charm ing, it forms graceful lines and folds and it will be found thor oughly satisfactory. Silk suits, however, are much liked for dressy occasions and char mouse or other soft satin would make up charmingly in this way. The coat and skirt both hint of the barrel idea that is one of the latest features, but not in exaggerated form. The skirt is quite simple, in two pieces, but plaited to become wider at the hips and narrower at the lower edge.
 For the medium size the coat will require 3$S yards of material A inches wide, 5 yards 54 with M yard A inches wide for the trimming. For the skirt will be needed, 2N yards of either width.
 The coat pattern No. 9445 is cut in sizes from 34 to AZ inches bust measure and the skirt pattern No. 9452 in sizes from 24 to 32 inches waist measure. They will be mailed to any address by the Fashion Department of this paper, on k receipt of fifteen cents for each.

SMYRNA BOYS" AT sHAD BAKE
Join the Large Contingent of the Sons
of Delaware of Philadelphia at Mil
ford Last Saturday Afternoon

80 -S'' Sc OOiuiSCul OF the SOnS
of Delaware of Philadelphia at Mil
ford Last Saturday Afternoon
Smyrnians and former Smyrnians
were we'll represented at the annual
"Shad Bake" of the Sons of Del
aware of Philadelphia this year, which
was held at Milford, Saturday. The
weather conditions interfered with
the auto sight seeing trip of Milford
farms and points of interest but the
large contingent were accorded
splendid hospitality on the part of
the Milford folks and shown all there
was to be seen in the business and
beautiful residence section. A special
train took the Delawareans down from
Philadelphia picking up members and
guests of the association at nearly
every station along the line. The
Smyrna contingent comprised: Charles
II. LeFevre, H. D. Boyer, R. Y.
Wallen, Robert Norris, Jr., William
Norris, DR.. w. C. Mitchell, William
Wharton, Irving Walls. Thomas Nc
Coy, John L. Truax, w. E. Spruance
and j. Fletcher Truax. Automobiles
met the arrival of the special train
and after touring the town they were
taken to the Caulk Club which was
thrown open to their disposal. A
meeting of the society was held and
some informal historical addresses
were given. The shad bake or BAN
quet took place in the Milford Armory
and was a delightful occasion. The
Armory was appropriately decorated
and Elliott's Orchestra of six pieces
discoursed music. President Emer-
son of the society, was toast master
and after the courses had been served
addresses were made by Governor
Townsend, John P. Holland, Ruby
Vail and others. Covers for more than
$50 were laid and the "Delawure
Boys" took away with them happy
impressions of Milford and the hospi-
tality shown them by the local com
mittee headed by DR.. Frank L. Grier,
who, by the way, was a former
Smyrna dentist
