GradedP caches Mean
Household Economy
Says Mrs. Douglass

The best peaches make the best
shortcake, ice ream or early season
peach desserts. Poorly graded bas-
kets of mixed varieties are not only
an annoyance to the housewife, but
an expensive purchase because of
the waste. It pays to buy the best
peaches for any of the desserts re-
curing the fresh fruit. Not only is
there less waste of fruit as it comes
from the basket, but graded peaches
are usually marketed more rapidly
and so are fresher; they keep firm
and attractive. Purchase of graded
fruit is one of the economics from
Ju%dicious buying. Buy according to
quality and a dollars worth is Sc
cured for a dollar.
Such are the recommendations of
Mrs. John l.. Douglass, chairman
Living Cost Committee, New Jersey
League of Women Voters. They ap-
pear in a series of suggestions to
consumers from the Jersey Fruit
Growers Cooperative Association, a
non-profit organization of growers in
the New Jersey peach belt, which is
comparatively packing and marketing
peaches by fast motor truck to elm
mate waste in distribution.
Mrs. Douglass further recommends
several uses for early a peach
es, which can be followed 10 advan-
tage in any home.
Peach Short Cake
1 cup of milk
l cup of sugar
1 tablespoonful of butter
1 egg
1 rounded te%aspoonful of baking
powder
Enough flour to make soft dough,
about 1 cup
We bake in two layers with
enough peaches between and on top.
Whipped or plain cream is desira-
BILE. When not available we take a
can of evaporated milk, heat to boil
Ing point and then chill. This is
put in a bowl surrounded by cracked
ice; the beater is also very cold.
Whip and add sugar; when stiff it is
hard to distinguish from whipped
cream. Another advantage is that
it will remain stiff a long time.
Peach Freeze
We make another delightful des-
sert. About one quart of peaches
are crushed. Take one a of evap-
Grated milk, an equal amount of
water, one-half can of condensed
milk. three-fourths cup of sugar, a
pinch of salt and freeze. This makes
a delightful midsummer dessert for
a hot evening.
Another Home Treat
Another favorite dessert in u
household is made as follows: One
layer of peaches is placed in a pud-
ding dish. A batter made of a gem
erous cup of flour, two teaspoonsful
of baking powder, one-half cup of
milk, one tablespoonful of butter or
lard and a teaspoonful of salt is
placed on top of peaches. Bake 20
minutes to one-half hour. When
served, we use a hard COM
posed of butter and sugar and soft
ened with a little milk. 1t is a deli
cious dessert.

YOUR BABY AMI MINE
HoT WEATHER FEEDING
By MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED


Adults are most inclined to realize
that they must be careful about
their diet in hot weather and fail TO
realize that the same is true of the
baby at the breast, or the bottle
baby.
AL the feeding it gets may be
milk, and yet that constitutes a full
ration for 1t, and to give a baby its
full ration during the hottest days
is to tamper with disaster. II the
baby shows the least inclination to
leave part Of the milk in his bottle,
give heed to this warning Of nature
and reduce the milk by shaking the
bottle and pouring off a quarter Of
1t, replacing this with plain boiled
water or some thin Cruel. rice or
barley, being the best choice.
The baby will be getting the same
quantity but the strength will be re-
duced and there will not be so much
tax on his digestive organs. If there
is any left in the bottle throw it
away and do not urge the baby to
eat again until time for his next
meal.
Older children should be given
the same attention. Prepare for
their meals more fresh fruits and
vegetables of different varieties, and
less meat and eggs. Allow no eat
ing of candy between meals and
avoid the dangers of rich ice cream
drinks. Fruit drinks not iced are
cooling and have a real place in the

w. Simpson lived with his widowed
mother on forty acre farm at North

A cripple from infantile paralysis
he entered the corn club in 1912, and
by sheer will power and determination
completed his project by actually craw
ling through the corn on his hands and
knees in order to cultivate it.
He not only succeeded in obtain
ing yield of los bushels per acre, but
at the same time his health improved
so that he became able to walk.
With his prize money and larger
returns from the little forty acre farm
because of his increased knowledge,
of crop production he went on through
high school and last year finished an
agricultural course at the University
of Minnesota.
He is now teaching agriculture in
the Lewiston, Minnesota, High School
and doing club work by cooperating
with the county agent and acting as
local leader.
His team was the champion Junior
Livestock Judging Team in the State
of Minnesota in 1922 and represented
that state in the Non-Collegiate Live
stock Judging contest at the Interna-
tional Livestock Exposition just closed
winning fourth, in competition with
twenty states.

WAITING FOR A TRAIN NOW
HAS ADVANTAGES OVER 184e

An old timer reminiscing in the
Wall Street Journal, tells of people
who waited for trains seventy-three
years ago in Chicago.
There was no telegraph there in
those days, so John B. Turner, presi-
dent of the old Galena & Chicago
Union Railroad, had an observatory
built on top of Chicago's first depot
in l849
Turner had his office in the tower
Using marine telescope he watched
through the window for incoming
trains The telescope enabled him to
spot an approaching train as far as
Austin, six miles away.
Then Turner would shout the glad
news downstairs and the impatient
travellers would sigh with relief and
marvel at the benefits conferred on
humanity by that great scientific
achievement, the telescope.
