Sweet CurdS Pie

One of the delicacies that our
grandmothers served when company
came was sweet curds pie. 1t is just
as good as it ever was, though serv-
ed less often than in the olden days.
The curd is obtained by adding rem
net to warm milk and allowing the
milk to stand until it hardens The
curd is then broken up and strained.
To the curd from one quart of milk
add one level tablespoon of butter,
one-fourth Of a cup of sugar, the
yolks of two eggs, a few Zante cur
rants or chopped raisins, and a little
nutmeg.
Whey also was much used in ear
lier times, and is still a favorite bev-
erage with many people. 1t is en-
ployed especially in diets for inva-
lids

At a police station the prisoner was

and placed in confinement at Fort JAY.
Willers. the police said. reGited in
brazen fashion how he was sent to the
United States as one of 800 cadets
trained in the art of espionage to en-
list in the Americana army aa~. g.
On his arrival IN zthe United States,
Willers went to Albany where he en-
listed he said, as a private. His mill

''You would also be killed. he was re-
minded.

While being questioned at the police
station. the police say Willers remarked
hat they would be surprised if they knew
the number of officials at Washington

Germany as spies"
Are they still there?' he was asked.

DON'T LIKE NEW PLAN.
Some Committeeman Object to One Com
miffee Handling House Appropriations.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 'S.--Action of
the house at the last session in deciding
to refer all money bills to an enlarged
appropriations committee yesterday
showed signs of causing an open row.
Rumblings were heard from several quar-
tiers and committee chairmen particularly
are represented by their associates as now
feeling that the move had been in the
wrong direction.
As most of the legislation which will
finally get through the house at the pres
Cnt session will consist of appropriation
measures. committee members who for
many sessions have aided in formulating
these bills are said to see no opportunity
to assist in this work.
Chairman Butler of the naval affairs
committee declared that the house action
means that 30 men (the membership of
the enlarged committed can now run the
house for abs session and the rest of us
can go home"
The change" he said. has simply
made useless about $50 men who have
worked hard on these committees"
He indicated that various members of
the house were preparing to voice theiF
objection TO the plan and the whole ques-
tion might be brought up again for eau
Gus action by the Republicans.
