Two Minute Talks"
FOR YOUR HEALTH
MISS AUBYN CHINN


There are many interesting histor-
ical instances of the preparations and
use of health foods.
Such a story is told of the making
of butter in England in the 18th CEN
fury, 1.-THE farmer poured cream into
a cloth, the corners were gathered to-
gether and fastened securely, and the
whole was then buried in the earth
at a depth of seven to twelve inches,
and taken out at the end of twelve
hours, when the cream was found
quite firm. 1t was worked, little
water having been poured over it, and
the buttermilk Immediately separated
from the butter"
Today, as was true then, butter and
buttermilk are regarded as essential
foods. Buttermilk is invaluable for
it's necessary vitamins, minerals and
protein, and it well may have more
universal use. Buttermilk makes a
delightful cold drink and may be used
in cooking wherever sour milk can be
used.
Your family will like these recipes
in which buttermilk is used:

of the contest plan as worked by lie

B~rownsville's college set seem to
be a me-loving crowd. Or maybe
they appreciate the opportunities
the Valley offers for summer di-
versions. Almost all of them are
spending the holidays at home, and
seem to be having the best time in
the world playing around together.
Most of them have known each
other. all their lives, and whenever
that's the case, people find it pleas
ant to get together after a long
separation. Absence makes the
heart grow fonder, but propinquity
no, that's another story entirely.
Anyway, they are taking a sure
enough vacation. Stated with the
round Of more formal affairs, not
to mention a little bit tired of up
holding the dignity and Sophistica-
ton required of college students,
they have gone in for the most in
formal kind Of social affairs. Not
that they haven't done things, for
there have been beach parties ga
lore, those delightfully."- satisfying
affairs where everyone swims, and
eats, and wisecracks; then there
was a sailing party not long ago,
with everyone there, moonlight, and
the glow Of PHOSPHORUS in the
wake Of the boat, and all the az
junctS of hospitality, youth, and
beauty of setting to make such an
affair perfect.
Speaking of outings, the Fort
Brown crowd came very near set
ting a new rtandard for such az
fairs Friday evening, what with
tertainment for a hundred guests,
and dancing at the club house on
the beach, where the gulf breeze
could be fully enjoyed.
The civic league, an organization
which has been very active In
Brownsville civic Improvement in
the many years Of its existence-it
is one of the oldest women's organ
izations in town-is to sponsor a
garden club the coming year.
Such a club would have as its
special objects the conservation OF
the wild plant life native to the
Valley; civic Identification and the
Improvement Of parks would also
occupy the attention Of the club.
The yard beautiful contest spon-
sored for several years past by the
civic league is also to be turned over
to the new club.

created much interest among
