DOUBLE DUTY

It isn't very logical to save wheat
and save fat and never waste sugar IL
you're going to burn coal or gas UNI
fuel Coal is vitality necessary to the
winning Of the war.
So here's way to help out with
coal and save little wheat at the
same time. Make cofp meal mush
for breakfast.
Put 31-2 cups OF water on to boil,
and add one teaspoonful Of salt. When
it boils sprinkle or sift the corn meal
into the water, stirring constantly.
Put the boiling mixture in a freless
cooker. and leave 1t in over night. It
will be ready for breakfast in the
morning.
Mush is delicious to those who want
sugar, and are trying to do without
1t for breakfast. II dried fruit is served
with it.
Figs-scald, wipe dry cut into
small pieces and stir into the hot
mush.
Dates-Scald, remove stones and in
ner skin and cut into small pieces
and stir into hot mush.
Prunes or Apricots-Scald, soak in
enough warm water to cover for three
or four hours. Drain, remove stones,
cut in pieces and add to hot mush.
Then don't forget that oatmeal will
cook itself over night in the freless
cooker; and that rice and the cooker
are trusty allies for conserving fuel
and supplying a good hot breakfast

Tickets $3.50

With flush of annoyance Helen
put the tickets back into the envelope.
TO begin the day with a headache and
a feeling Of general depression, and
then to find only bills and appeals for
charity in the morning mail, was not
conductive to amiability.
The only charities to which Helen
ever felt she could afford to~contrib-
nte were the societies for the humane
treatment of animals and a home for
aged horses Her sympathies went
out most generously to the helpless
ness of animals.
The thought OF attending the bazaar
did not occur to her, for she knew
Warren would not go, and she would
not go in the evening without him
So she would promptly return these
tickets, had not Mrs. Caldwell, one
of the patronneSses, enclosed her card.
Helen had ment Mrs. Caldwell only
a few times. and felt she was precum-
ing on their slight acquaintance in
enclosing her card in this way. It
was as though she was trying to make
it an obligation for her to keep and
pay for the tickets, and Helen resent
ed this trying to capitalize a, social ac-
quaintance. an

INFLUENZA IN
HENRY COUNTY
Conditions Show Improve
ment in Town.-Little
Change in the County

The influenza conditions in Paris
appear to be better than week ago
we are glad to be able to report, but
there is not enough improvement to
warrant the re-opening of schools.
The City Board of Health held a
meeting on Wednesday morning and
definitely decided that it is not wise
to reopen the schools at the begin
ring of next week.
DR.. A. A. Oliver, of the county
board, sees little change in the situa-
tion over the county, and it is likely
that the county schools will not open
next week.
1t is hoped that the coming week
will show a marked improvement in
the condition in both town and coun-
ty.
