Baked Peas Good, but
Can't Supersede Beams

like baked peas; we have them
once month, says Arthur Staples, in
the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. They are
not SO good as baked beans that you
can eat twenty times q month and
have brand new four times q month
In bean pot all your own. We are
not raising good baked-bean experts
nowadays. They must use reasonably
new beans-old beans are not so good
and they ought to be baked until
they just about burst their sides with
richness.
like to see them roll out so that
they CLEAN in the candlelight like ru-
bies on a string. They ought to swim
about like bubbles in the golden fat
ness, and the pork ought to look like
the covers Of an old book, ruddy-
brown and aged with beauty.
Baked peas are done exactly like
baked beans, pork and all, baked In
the pot and brown as berries-thOugh
just which berry Is "brown" is diff
cult to say.
There Is another dish that my moth
er used to make. She used to take
apples and peel. quarter and core
them, put In a certain amount Of
brown sugar and some other things
and put the whole in bean pot. Bake
them In slow oven-she used to bake
them in the old brick oven with its
slowing heat that lasted for many
hours When they come out they are
like jelly. The substance Is as red
as the cheek of Baldwin. My wife
has tried 1t, but 1t seems hardly as
good as 1t used to be.

A HERO OF MANY WARS

Nick Wildt, a native of Siberia,
has entered reposeful phase of
an adventurous career by taking
up homestead on Wyoming
ranch.
Wildt was drafted into the Rus
sian army at the tender age of g..
At II he was a Cossack trooper.
He fought at Port Arthur and in
three other major engagements of
the Russo-Japanese was. In 1908
he was assigned to the late Cars
personal bodyguard and remained
in this service in st. Petersburg
for six years. In August, 1914, he
took part in the first battle of the
Russo-G German war on the eastern
front.
Wildt was wounded at Posen
and taken prisoner, but finally es-
capped from Hamburg on British
submarine. He made his way to
the United States in 1915, but re-
turned to France with the Ameri-
can army two years later. He
fought in six more engagements
and was wounded as many times.
Wildt returned recently from
Honolulu, where he completed his
enlistment in the American army.
He wears eight decorations. several
of them bestowed by the Gear.

PoP.ovERS

Pop-overs are made with a much
thinner batter than mullins and nc
baking powder, sugar or shorten
ing is used. They require very hot
oven at first to make them rise, and
then slow baking to dry them out
without making them hard or tough
This recipe makes IL pop-overs:
/ is cups bread -four or IL cups
pastry flour. q tsp. salt, eggs,
lis cups sweet milk.
Sift the -four once before meas
uring; add the salt and sift again.
Beat the eggs slightly and add them
to the milk. Make a hole in the
center of the flour and pour the
liquid slowly into it, stirring con-
stantly to keep the batter smooth.
When all of the liquid is added, if
there are humps in the batter, strain
it through sieve, rubbing out the
humps. Pour the batter into hot,
well creased muffin pans, filling
them half full, and bake in very
hot oven CATS deg. FL for about
Is minutes. Then lower the temper
allure of the oven and bake more
slowly $3.50 deg. FL for about S5
minutes more. If they are not baked
long enough the inside will be too
moist. Tin muffin pans may be
used, but heavier ones, are slightly
better. Pop-overs should be removed
from the pans quickly and served
very hot.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1924-02-29
PLAIN MUFFINS

2 cups bread flour or pa cups
pastry flour, 3 tsp baking powder,
y tsp. salt, 2 tbsp. sugar, l or 2
eggs, rs cups sweet milk, 3 tbsp.
shortening.
This recipe will make eight large
or twelve of medium size.
If sour milk is used instead of
sweet, use 1a tsp. soda and tsp.
baking powder. Sift the soda with
the other dry ingredients.
All measurements are level. Sift
the flour once before measuring.
Mix and sift the dry ingredients.
Beat the egg slightly and add the
milk to it. Pour the liquid into the
dry ingredients, mixing thoroughly.
Add the melted shortening last.
Bake in we'll CREASED muffin pans in
hot oven (400 deg. F.) about
% minutes.
If the mullins hump up too much
in the center and crack open, it
means that there is little too
much -four for the kind you are
using. If this happens, make a note
of it on the recipe so that when
you make them again you can use
the right amount of your kind of
flour.
The plain mullins may be varied
by using more sugar and more
shortening and some kind of fruit,
such as dates. blueberries or cram
berries. If cranberries are used, cut
them in half and dip them in sugar
before they are mixed with the
batter. These are delicious. Choco-
late mullins make a rather good
variation. The chocolate is melted
and added to the batter with the
shortening.

CRUSH INITIATIVE-KILL 4
NATION


Lenine is dead in Russia after a
brief but stormy career as ruler
of that country.
In England labor government
is to guide the destinies of that
great nation.
What the outcome of Lenine's
teachings will be, no one can say.
What the change of control in
England will produce, no one can
forecast. This much is certain,
however, and has been proved by
past experience: When reformer
or radical agitator starts out to
rule the world he finds certain es-
tablished rules and practices de-
veloped because of the Unborn traits
of human nature, and he cannot
do just as he pleases.
A government that brushes and
kills ambition in the individual will
not progress. A government that en-
courages initiative with its re-
ward for energy will progress.
Lenine's policy wrecked Russia
and similar policy in England
would wreck that nation.
Neither labor nor capital can be
dictator to the extent of crush
ing individual activity, without
bringing about its own downfall.

BUDDlES

The red tape of the Veterans
Bureau was quickly cut in Spo-
kane, Wash, by the American Lee
gion when that organization af-
forded relief to G. w. Hoffman,
wounded veteran, who has made
futile attempts to secure compen-
sation from the Government.
Hoffman's plight was revealed in
a recent issue of Spokane news
paper, and within half an hour
after, appearance of the article
funds and supplies We're made a
valuable to the mans family by
the Legion. The veteran was
blinded in one eye by gas, receiv-
ed shrapnel wounds in his left leg
and arm and was unable to fol
low his trade. For five years he
had been unable to get any help
from the Veterans Bureau. When
his wife applied to city .chari-
table organization for fuel to keep
her and her two children warm,
the case was made public.

THE HALF-DRAWN SHADE
BY Edwin Bjorkman, in N. Y. Tribune.

half shade prevails unchal-
lenged--even in Greenwich Village.
For there are limits beyond which
the widest radicalism cannot go.
And even the furthest advanced of
the rebels against all traditions and
conventions drags behind him a
string connecting him with the res
probability from which he is vain
| ly fleeing. That string is the one
he. or she, pulls rately when the
window shade has to be put where
, it properly belongs.
A shade is unitarian thing
that we have never managed to
raise into beauty. So it is, whe-
Their seen from within or without.
1t is thing to hide when not
actually needed, Why should it,
day after day, year in and year
out, be gratuitously displayed in
a million American homes regard
less of what weather prevails or
what quarter of the compass they
face? In room with half-drawn
shades the light strikes the eye
from below, where it is unpro-
teeted. and the eye suffers doubly,
from too much direct light where
it is not needed and from INSULT
cient light ON the objects that have
to be visioned. Why should one
hundred million people prefer to
live in a twilight that does not
even rest their eyes?
There are moments when | in

SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS

DR.. Magill has been telling me
some interesting facts about the
human eye. Since he has started
spccial zation in this practice he
has be one enthused over it. 1t is
suaranty of his sincerity, and
an assurance Of his success.
Among some of his interesting
things DR.. Magill has told me is
that some people have only di-
rect vision that is, they can only
see objects directly in front of
them; others have eyes that
aren't mates--i.e., one has one
kind of focus, and the other is
differently focused; and we all
know that there are people who
are color blind-they can't tell red
from black, for instance.
But those things are not near
ly SO bad as spiritual blindness.
And by spiritual blindness" am
not using the term in hack
neyed religious sense. | refer to
the yery-day things of life that
go to make up beauty and enjoy
ment and appreciation that so
many people miss.
A lot of people go thru life like
horse with blinders-they can't
see except straight ahead, and they
plod along in ignorance of the
beauty that surrounds them. Many
people, for instance, who live in
this section have never apprecia-
ted the scenic beauty that surrounds
them-they are spiritually blind.
A visitor from the west said to
me recently, This section of the
country is certainly beautiful"
Yet there are people living here
who are always complaining of
their lot-they can't see the beauty
here, and they want to be some
place else. But If they were to go
some place else they wouldn't see
the beauty there unless someone
pointed it out to them. And in the
other place there are people who
can't see any beauty there, but
they would like to be here.
Give your eyes exercise-when
you cross the river or ride about
the country make up your mind
to look for something you have
never seen before. You'll find it!
