Cooking Wisdom.

Baking powder biscuits are much
lighter If made too wet to handle on a
board. They should have little flour
sifted over them and flour should also
be sifted on the hands which are to
handle the biscuits. With a little
practice they can be nodded into good
shape. Cookies are softer made in this
way and less flour is required in the
dough. Crullers and doughnuts cook

This sulphur preparation, made into q pleasant cold cream. gives such a quick relief. even to fiery eczema that nothing has ever been found to take it's place.
 Because of its germ destroying properties. it quickly subdues the itching, cools the irritation and heals the eczema right up, leav- ing a clear. smooth skin in place of ugly eruptions, rash, pimples or roughness.

Rural Life in Siam
 Treated on Screen

BERLIN. Nov. 1. Prince Rangsit of Siam. brother of the reigning king. has produced a film here which has the merit of dealing with an entirely novel subject rural life in Siam.
 The Prince has studied in Hei- delberg and is married to a Ger man woman. He conceived the idea to show the western world how the eastern world really lives. Avoiding hackneyed scenes and pictures of palaces and tenn pies, he has chosen as the central figure of his story Kru, Lao peasant. Kru's hard struggle for life in the jungle, with wife and children constantly menaccd by wild elephants, tigers and snakes, is faithfully portrayed. The finn is shown under the name of Chang"
 "Kru is the typical Siamese til- Ter of the soil and he stands as the symbol of Siam" the Prince says.

known screen comedians furnish most of the laughs. These are interspersed at well timed peri ods, providing the story with a remarkable latitude as to plot.
 These cowboys, who befriend 2 Scotch nobIeman while he is working incognito on a western ranch, follow him back to Scot land. Their leather and woolly chaps and rollicking forms fur nish a ludicrous contrast in the Highland Castle with it's sta'd and dignified inhabitants clad i;l kilties.
 Carrying off a bride and min ister to the castle of their chiei is one of their big punch scenes. The bride, played by Blanche Sweet, is really in love all the time with the cowboy nobleman but is forced into considering marriage with a hypocritical Ba on who has given her the i'm pression he possesses evidencS which would be ruinous to the reputation of her family if il were to be divulged.
 What leads up to these situa. lions and charge of murder being pressed against the cowboy nobleman. played by Roy Stew art, furnishes story steeped with intrigue, fights, the court
 oom and the hangman's rope.
