AN ALL-AR0UND SAVING

Thanks to the War, housewives have
been given some unforgettable lessons
in common sense. Minute saving and
penny saving have gained new signif-
canoe.
One vital economy which has i'm
pressed itself upon thousands of prac-
teal women is quick breads-the new
and better way of supplying the staff
of life, always recognized as more es-
sential than bullets.
While the pre-war methods which
SO frequently suggested the use Of
yeast were far ahead of the pre-his-
toric practices Of soaking grain in wa
ter until softened, then making into
paste and baking into a hard, gram
itie cake, the necessity Of using bak-
ing powder with substitute fiours in
the various war recipes has Anticipated
the old, slow. cumbersome methods
which for centuries have handicapped
cooks, without sacrificing taste, tex
ture or technique.
Quick breads mean saving of time
and when made of. high-gradc ingre-
dents are also of better quality and
more economical.
The use of baking powder prevents
a continuous loss of small percent
age of flour from which there is no
escape when yeast is used.
One of my friends writes of her ex-
periences and how she was won over
to the new way as follows:
Through my desire to Save Food
and Help Win the War became in
terested in an unusual advertisement
for CaIumet Baking Powder Ia which
1t was claimed that dough left over
from the evening meal could be placed
In the refrigerator and used for break
fast biscuits with gratifying results.
EARLY training had taught me to
consider yeast as the only leavening
element worthy Of my time and trou-
Bile In baking. laid aside my preju-
dices and was delighted to find the
problems which formerly worried me
are nov so easy. and today seem al
most unreal. I am filled with a new
zeal " SoUk oiIcc Saihcu tAS AASAP
of this time-saving product"
Even though the world Is again fol-
lowing peaceful pursuits, the purchase
power Of penny is much less than
1t was a few years ago. Housewives
can only meet this unusual condition
by needing the lessons which the War
has taught them, including the tests
that have proven the folly of judging
values By outward appearances. such
as the size of the package or looking
at quantity rather than quality, etc..
for example, 10-cent can of Calu-
met will furnish more leavening than
the Big Can of double its size Of some
cheap mixture, manufactured by hap
hazard methods. ADV.

Back Yard Orchard Sure to
Bring as Good Returns as
Does the Vegetable Garden

The back yard orchard will make as
valuable return for the average fam
lily as does the vegetable garden itself.
Everyone who puts out garden can

ten of the University of Missouri Col
iege of Agriculture. The cultivation
given the vegetables is just what is
required by the young trees.
Select apples, cherries, plums.
peaches and pears of varieties that
VIII furnish succession from the
early Richmond cherry, which ripens
in May, to the late-keeping apples, like
Ingram and Lansingburg, which keep
until the following May. One tree of
each variety is enough.
Apple trees should be planted 25 to
80 feet apart each way, and plum and
peach trees 16 to 90 feet apart. One
year-old trees should be selected for
planting, although in the case of the
apple, sour cherry and pear two-year-
old trees win usually transplant sue
cessfully if they have not grown too
large. The trees may be planted either
in fall or spring. They should be set
just about as deep as they stood in the
nursery. As soon as they are planted
the tops should be pruned back some
what.
Fruit trees should be given as thor
ough cultivation as corn or vegetables,
at least until they reach bearing age.
Any kind of garden vegetables, or
Strawberries, or other small fruits,
may be grown between the tree rows.
II a raAk-growing crop like corn grows
higher than the trees one row should
be left out, preferably north and south,
In the tree row, so that the fruit trees
will not be shaded until they are well
established. Low-growing vegetables
or berries may be planted as close to
the trees. as desired.

Greed That Nay Well Be
Applied in Life Each Day

TO live content with small means:
TO seek elegance rather than luxury
and refinement rather than fashion:
To be worthy, not respectable,
wealthy, not rich TO study hard, think
quietly, talk gently, act frankly. 70
listen to stars and birds, to babes and
sages, with open heart: TO bear all
cheerfully. do all bravely, await ccca-
slons, hurry never: In word, to let
the spiritual, unbidden and uncon-
sclous, grow up through the common.

DOVER, Sept. 2O.-At meeting Of the

Hardesty Of Sussex counties brought
the matter Of school attendance TO the
attention OF the members Of the
board.
In view Of the scarcity OF labor in
the counties and the lack OF facilities
in the way Of school buildings and
equipment, il was the opinion Of the
members Of the board that provision
should be made for meeting these con-
ditiOns in as practical and sympathetic
a manner as possible. The following
resolution covering the situation was
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That the rules and regula-
tions OF the State Board adopted Sep
tember in regard TO school attendance
be amended. to provide that absence OF
pupils prior TO November 4, 1919. be per-
mitted on written statement Of parents
or, guardians that absence is necessary
