Iowa. upon his return to the city.
It was the Brookhart resolution
which brought on the present in
vestigation by the Senate District

hearings December 4. Originally,
the Brookhart resolution applied
to only one real estate firm, but
it was broadened to authorize a
general probe Of real estate opera
tionS in the capital.
Promises Disclosures
The Senate has also approved
the Brookhart resolution for an
inquiry into the issuance of mort.
gage notes and bonds by real es-
tate concerns doing business here.
While Senator Brookhart said
he did not include the entire real
estate business in the Capital, and
admitted that there were many
reputable and honest operators.
the Iowa Senator predicted that
startling disclosures are coming
before the Senate investigation is
ended. Senator Brookhart said:
"T believe that the Blaine sub
committee is going to do good
job and will 60 to the bottom

Senator Brookhart will be put

several pending bills to regulate
business practices, including real
estate, in the Capital.

BY SALLY MONROE.

BERRIES everywhere have been part
of the diet Of primitive man, and
If we may speak of one food as being
more natural than another, then we
should have to consider berries as
among the most natural.
Not being supplied by nature with
sharp, pointed teeth and claws, like
carnivorous animals, our remote an
cestors could have had very little meat
until they were sufficiently advanced to
construct traps, snares and sharp
pointed instruments. So probably they
just worried along on a diet of oysters.
nuts, honey, eggs, insects snails, green
herbs and fruits for a few thousand
years, before they ever acquired the
taste for sirloin steak, lamb chops and
sweetbreads.
All Men Could Get.
In tropical and warm regions larger
fruits were always abundant, but in
more northern stretches berries were
doubtless often the only fruit that could
be found in any abundance. Then, too,
the wild forms Of many of the fruits
which have been cultivated since pre-
historic timeS-Such as the pear. the
apple and the peach-were small and
woody. But the wild berries were lus-
cious and juicy, though not so large as
the cultivated sorts we know today.
Even now huckleberries and blueber-
ries are usually gathered as they grow
wild, and it is only recently that cram
berries have been known in anything
but the wild form. II you have ever
eaten wild Strawberries you probably
realize that, though cultivation has pro-
duced larger berry, it has certainly
not improved the flavor.
AT least, we may say that the Gus
tom of eating fruit is an old one and
that, racially speaking, the taste for
berries is not one of recent ACQUISITION.
The advantage of homegrown berries
over those bought in the market is so
great that If you have space to grow
your own food berries should receive
first consideration.
Fruit is at its best when recently
picked and very ripe, and it is never
practicable to pick fruit for market in
this dead-ripe condition. Besides. it is
important not to have berries exposed
to dust and dirt, since they lack pro-
tective skins like peaches, apples and
oranges.
If you cannot grow your own berries,
then buy them with care. During berry
season do your buying early. Select

Cooking Hints.

When making fruit pies. especially
with tart fruit, roll the top crust in
sugar instead of -four. This not only
makes the pie sweeter, but it gives a
particularly rich brown top crust. II
you want your pie to look rich and
fiaky, rub it over with butter as soon as
it comes from the oven.
Use leftover coffee in place of milk
when making chocolate cream pud-
ding or pie. When making chocolate
frosting with powdered sugar, use coffee
instead of milk to make It of the right
consistency to spread. Coffee improves
the flavor.
When making cheese straws, sprinkle
salt on the board before the last rolling

Berries Are Ranked Among
Best of Midsummer Fruits

your basket of berries before they have
been exposed to dust of store and street
II you cannot do this, 1t is at least fair
to ask for q basket from the lower part
Of the crate.
Another advantage to be gained from
early buying is that berries may be kept
better at home than in the store. They
should be placed in the refrigerator or
in cool, shady place until just before
they are to be used.
Wash Them First.
Berries should always be washed and
almost no juice is lost II this Is done
before they are hulled. Experts have
proved that thorough washing In run
ming water Is sufficient to remove in
furious micro-organisms, providing the
fruit Is sound.
In looking over strawberries it is a
good plan to take only those that are
perfectly whole and unbruised for use
raw. Others that are still good but
slightly bruised should be used for
cooking.
Since moist berries are much more
likely to decay than those left dry, they
should never be washed until just before
being used. If you find 1t necessary to
wash and hull the berries some time
before serving it is a good plan to pour
over them sugar sirup. Then place in
the refrigerator, or other cold place and
the sugar will prevent further decay.
If you have more berries on hand
than you can use today, do not try to
keep them, but stew them or otherwise
cook them for use the next day.
Berries picked when they are per-
fectly ripe really need no sugar, but
berries picked before this state of per-
feet ripeness are usually better favored
II sugared slightly.

the sugar is dissolved, then add two
egg whites beaten stiff. Place four
cupfuls of sliced peaches or some apple

Swine Feeders To Meet

Swine breeders of the State who
attend the Feeders Field Meeting at
the University of Maryland Expert
ment Station on November %,
among other things, Will be shown
the results of series of experiments
to determine the effect of various
rations upon the growth and devel-
opment of swine, it is stated by
Professor B. E. Carmichael, of the
University.
In the experiments, ga animals
were fed eight different rations over
period of "a days and the amount
of grain varied from less than nine
tenths of one pound to more than
pound and half daily. 1t was also
found that 80 percent more feed was
required to produce 100 pounds of
gain in weight with some rations
than with others, judging from the
results secured during the first 70
days of the experiment.
AS Professor Carmichael points
I'out, the swine industry in Maryland
produces approximately 100000
pounds of live hogs annually, worth
in round numbers, $4,000 and
the intelligent use of efficient and
economical rations would do much
to increase these profits. Results of
the feeding trials should do much,
therefore, to aid in the general
adoption of suitable rations.
The experiments conducted at the
University permit a comparison of
fishmeal, tankage, dried skim milk,
and soybean oilmeal as supplements
for shelled corn, and also furnish in
formation concerning the use of diff
ferent amounts of high-protein sup
plement in rations for the fattening
Of hogs.
The results of recent wheat feed
ing work will also be presented.
Professor Carmichael is expecting
number of feeders from different
parts of the State at the Field Meet
ing, as quite program has been
planned for the morning. The meet
ing win begin at u a. m. promptly

What Causes Catarrh +?

Somehow or other many people have
the erroneous idea that catarrh is more
or less a chronic head cold. Such,
however, is not the case. A catarral
condition results when the nasal or
gan has to rid the body Of various i'm
purities and poisons that have ac-
cumulated because some organ of elm
nation Is not performing its task. In
such case the mucous membrane Of
the nose is made to throw off the
overflow of mucous or poison. Some
common causes of eatarrh are consti-
patton, Indigestion. lack Of exercise
and too much clothing. In the case Of
the clothing the pores Of the skin are
not allowed to functions as they
should and certain body poisons are
not carried off. Too much sugar and
starchy foods are also causes Of
catarrh. The proper way to treat the
trouble is to find underlying cause and
endeavor to correct 1t without paying
too much attention to the nose and
mucous Observation-Disclosures Mag

Z HI A KS GIVIN e.!

Thursday next, the 9th inst, is
Thanksgiving Day, set apart by law
and by proclamation of the Pres
ident of the United States and Cover
nors of the various States of the
union, as day of prayer and thanks
giving. It's observance is custom
dating back to Puritan time, when il
was restricted to the New England
States.
Since then Congress has ordained
and custom sanctioned the observ-
ance throughout our land.
Consecrated to the memory of a
courageous little band of Pilgrims who
first observed it as a memorial OF
their deliverance from pestilence and
famine, it has gradually drifted into
holiday, in which football" has
as large a place now as the festive
turkey at the Thanksgiving dinner.
But the principle underlying its
observance remains, and our Nation,
and our community has much for
which to offer up thanks, even
though conditions may not be all that
we would desire.
Let us pause long enough in the
hurry and worry of every day life to
return thanks for the many blessings
we are permitted to enjoy as a Ma
ton, as a community, as individuals.

Southern Architecture

An example Of the real architecture
Of the South Is given in the American
Home.
Most persons think Of southern
architecture as having tall white col
umns and warm brick walls. While
many houses of this type were built.
these were the mansions.
The less wealthy inhabitants Of the
southern colonial days lived in attrac-
tive small houses Of brick, which were
much like the houses Of the same
period in New England, except that
they were less austere. Chimneys usu-
ally were put at the ends Of the house.
and porches and dormer windows
were common.

The twenty-fourth annual Christ
mas Seal Sale for tuberculosis funds
sponsored in this State by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
opens next Thanksday, Thanksgiving
Day, and will continue until Christ
mas. Mr.. William B. Matthews,
Director of the work in Maryland
stated that plans have been complet-
ed for the drive and that greater in
terest has been shown by workers
than in any previous year. lndivid-
uals, clubs, and industries are going
to assist in giving publicity to the
camapign by the distribution of pos
tiers, suffers, and the display of
large bill board signs. The General
Outdoor Advertising Association
alone will dislay approximately $50
large posters throughout the state.
Thirty-five million seals have been
received at the state office in Balti-
more, and practically all the work
has been finished for the mailing of
more than 10000 letters which will
reach every section of the state.
The first Christmas Seal was sold in
1907 and since then more than fifty
tn rec million dollars. have been col
lected for tuberculosis and health
