Use More Hominy
Several Kinds Of This Real
American Food

Americans! Have we forgotten some
Of the best foods we once knew? Are
you using hominy? Why not follow
the example of our fOrefathers and use
much of this good corn product? The
first settlers of America learned from
the Indians how to prepare the Indian
corn for use. They removed the hulls
from the dry grain by pounding 1t in
a mortar with pestle. The cracked
corn they called by the Indian name
'hominy." Hominy became one of
their staple foods without which they
would often have gone hungry. They
cooked 1t in huge iron kettles hung
over the blazing logs in the open fire
place.
They also learned to remove the
germ and hull from the corn by boiling
the grain with I've and then washing
thoroughly. They sometimes called
this product "hulled corn" but it is now
more often called 'lye hOminy."
There are several kinds Of hOminy
on the market. If you do not know
how good they are, try them and find
out, advises the United States depart
ment Of agriculture.
The coarse hOminy, samp, or pearl
hominy.-This Is much like the hOminy
the pioneers used. The grain is split
to remove the germ, hulled and pol
ished by machinery. 1t is much used,
particularly in the central and eastern
states. 1t is worth using everywhere.
The fine hOminy or hominy grits.-
This is made by grinding the coarse
hominy. Grits are excellent served as
q vegetable much as rice Is used. Grits
are also used in many parts Of the
country as breakfast food.
Lye hominy.-Lye hominy is made
at home by many and also made COM
mercially by boiling the grain in I've or
potash until the germ will come out
and then washing out the lye. In
many places 1t may be bought In bulk,
and is also sold canned. 1t may be
dried for future use or canned at
home.
All varieties of hominy are good
nourishing food. Like wheat, rice, and
other cereals they give both body fuel
and bodybuilding material at a COM
paratively low price. Let them have
a larger place In your diet.

Jerusalem Blooming Again
Like a Rose, Says Writer
In Letter to London Times

The Rose Of Jericho, writes Jeru-
salem correspondent to the London
Times, when one buys it in the shops.
is queer little withered ball of shriv-
| eled fibers, which the inexperienced
think fit only for the rubbish heap.
But put it In water and the thing re-
wives, turns freshly green, and begins
to sprous anew aith life that has been
| always dormant but never dead. This
strange plant Is symbolical of Jerusa-
lem. The more rapid recovery from
conditions Of misery was delayed by
the maneuvers of certain spectators
whose object was to hinder the British
advance into Palestine. bringing with
it a vivifying tide of honest Egyptian
notes and silver.
Seeming profit, rascally spectators
went about among the more ignorant,
cunningly representing Egyptian notes
to be only worth in gold the value of
discredted Turkish paper, and they
thus succeeded in buying up a guam
tity at the average price of 3s. Cd.
Such chicanery caused great distress
to the mass Of the people and cOnsid-
cradle inconvenience to the military
administration by shaking public con-
fidence in the Egyptian bank notes.
But the good names Of Britain and
of Egg pit are helping things to right
themselves, and trade Is now being
done in goods coming from Egypt
daily. Jerusalem had become like the
Rose of Jericho, which had withered
and was seemingly dead. TO us is it
given to watch the Holy City revive
and renew her youth.

making the order, the commission
ands that the employment Of women
as conductors, motormen or fagmen
by street car lines, at night work or
during rush periods, is prejudicial to
the life, health, safety and welfare Of
such women. 1t supports this finding
with a detailed memorandum setting
forth the reasons. 1t cites the fact
that this employment requires more
standing than sitting, and that con-
ductors must frequently get out to

veloped that at Kenosha the women
conductors on some of the runs must
get out no less than los times during
