DAUGHTER'S FUTURE.
From Mrs A. T., KenSington.)
To Mrs. w, E. D. of Silver Spring
who wrote the charmingly frank
letter about her problem of educa-
tion for her daughter, / wish tc
make the suggestion that she give
the girl at least one year of college.
have heard so many women regret
that they never had the opportunity
of attending college, OF speak with
awe of another who has attended
college. If she can join a sorority
and preferably live at the sorority
house, I believe she will develop
easily the poise and self-confdence
that you wish her to have. In spite
of much criticism of sororities for
being "snob- ob-institutions," much can
be said for the confidence and grace
they can give shy girl. They give
her the feeling of security of belong
ing to the group plus instruction In
gracious living. I suggest she join
one of the sororities with relatively
low dues as it will do as much for
her as the more expensive better
known sororities. She won't have to
either strain the family budget try
ing to keep up with daughters of
the wealthy or develop a complex
because she cannot have as expen-
sive clothes or as large an allow
ance as they. The State colleges are
least expensive, of course. and I am
strongly in favor of CO. education. You
say, you want your daughter to feel
at ease with other women, but it is
equally important that she be at
ease with the opposite sex. Many
college romances ripen into mar
riage and certainly a girl couldn't
find a more select group of men
than in college.
If,she is interested in interior dec
Grating, she might major in art,
although the freshman year STU
dents have fairly general course in
most colleges. The next year she
could take her interior decorating
course and emerge woman capable
of supporting herself and yet have
experienced the fun of college which
is indeed happy time OF life. I
am assuming that she is not a true
career-type girl but rather you wish
to give her a cultural education and
only incidentally develop her earn
ing capacity. If she is avidly in
terested in higher education and in
q career, she can stretch the money
you intend to spend on her to cover
four years of college by not joining
a sorority and by taking part-time
work to help meet expenses. ! have
known number of girls who got
their education the hard way and
most of them have exactly the same
feeling of lack of confidence that
you say you have when in the COM
pany of other women.

BUT Immediately set the saucepan
aside where it will remain hot but
not boil. In ten minutes or so the
yolk is cooked to mealy hard per-
lection, not tough or leathery and
you have the whites for any of the
things you like, but with eggs priced
as they now are, can't have often.
Now just "a word about the shop
ping business. I worked in an un-
usually fine position until about
four years ago, SO / know the very
real problems confronting one who
tries to get home with bag of
provisions and prepare meal and
still feel and look like sociable
human after trying day. However.
1 have voluntarily become home-
maker at a time when the hardships
endured by those who sincerely try
to be just that, are beyond the clm-
prehension of even those who have
at some time in the past kept house
and may now be in the business
world. With only adults to consider
the mere problem of securing food
and its preparation are discouraging
enough. No more can we make out
a weekly menu, nor telephone in a
grocery list. The only way to buy
food is to get there first, forget one
is a lady, and grab. Everybody who
shops admits these conditions are
even more, acute now than during
the actual war years. And speaking
from very real experience / would
suggest that those who want the
homemaker to gather up her leisure
and shop during Office hours would
try to walk, as 7 must, one mile
along a federal highway with no
sidewalks, carrying a load of grocer
les and keeping my 2-year-old and
myself from under the wheels Of
constant stream of trucks. To say
nothing of having to stand In line
for a weary hour or more to be
served. Wait until after working
hours so I can leave the baby at
home and have the car? You just

TO DECORATE CAKES.
CAKE QUERY?
CURING BITTER?

From M. J. s., Arlington.
In reply to N. j., Washington, I
would suggest an ordinary butter
frosting for use in decorating cakes
One fourth pound butter or mar
garine. cups powdered sugar, "a
teaspoon salt. teaspoon flavoring
and enough cream for desired con-
sistency. This has been my stand
by both as a plain frosting or as
decoration and Is equally good with
any type fiavoring.
viii some one please tell me how
to keep my cakes from going to
pieces when ! remove them from
the pan? I always grease and flour
the pan, line the bottom with waxed
paper, but either in removing them
from the pan or placing the layers
together they 60 to pieces. Maybe
I try too hard!
How do you mothers cope with a
child TX years old who bites people
and thinks it's cute? just an old
fashioned spanking or Is there some
to use In this case?

PINE CONES?
From Mrs. r. M. S., SilDer Spring.
For Miss F. /. H., Arlington: II
like this recipe for Cranberry Rel
ish: Four cups fresh cranberries
Il pound, apples, pared and
cored; 2 oranges, / lemon. cup
sugar. l cup corn sirup, dark or
white thave always used white).
Put cranberries and apples through
food chopper. Quarter oranges and
lemon, remove seeds, and put
through chopper Add sugar and
sirup and blend. Chill in refrigerator
a few hours before serving. Makes
III quarts relish. This sauce will
keep well in the refrigerator for
several weeks. Does any one know
a good way of catching the juice
that runs out of the grinder?
My cook book gives this recipe
Cranberry Citrus Relish: -Four cups
cranberries, / orange. lemon. 1
lime, cup sugar. Pick over and
wash cranberries and put through
food chopper. using fine knife. Wash
orange, lemon and lime, slice and
remove seeds and put through food

berries. Chill in refrigerator sew
eral hours before serving. This may
be packed in scalded glasses and
sealed with paraffin. Excellent with
meats. Approximate yield: / quart

For Mrs. w. G. A. Poaching Eggs:
Slightly grease a shallow pan, fill
"a full of boiling salted water. Break
egg into a saucer, slip gently into
boiling water. Reduce heat so that
water does not boil. Cover pan and
cook till white is firm. Another re-
cipe says, add / tablespoon salt or
/ teaspoon salt and tablespoon
vinegar to each quart of water. 1t
gives the cooking time as 3 to 81
minutes. l use small glass frying
pan and plop in little vinegar and
a little salt and it works.

ROSE EXTRACT.

In answer to question sent in
by Mrs. c. M. M. of Washington In

l believe that If she will use lemon
extract in combination with the
rose extract she will like the re-
suit. The rose extract has little
flavor aside from it's fragrance.

got. satisfying results in candy

used In chute.
To treat cattle for lice use hand
busting sun when they are In the
chute, or q shoulder cotton dusting
gun when cattle are crowded to-
gether in barn or stall Be sure TO
use plenty Of li2 Of one ercent der
ris dust, being careful to get plenty
all over the animal, and especially
on the belly, between legs, on neck
and ears. Fifteen days later this
treatment should be repeated, since
derris dust does not kill lice eggs.
Work animals should be treated
for lice in the same manner as cat
tie, although it is not necessary to
get them in a chute.
In treating cattle for wolves, use
IL percent derris dust. Place it in
fruit jar with perforated top.
Sprinkle dust (plenty) on the wolves
and rub with hand vigorously in a
circular motion. This rubs scabs off
SO derris dust can be rubbed into
opening. Remember the dust must
get in the opening before it will kill
the insect.
One pound of derris dust will be
sufficient to treat 6 to animals for
lice (two treatments) and one pound
will be plenty to treat IL to ID head
for wolves. The cost of both treat
ments is from 8 to cents per head.
Remember this, if your animals
are infested with lice and wolves,
it is costing you much more not to
treat them than it will to treat them
half dozen times.
Derris dust is the trade name for
Rotenone. Most Of this insecticide
used in the United States at first
came from the far East, but since the
war, the greater portion is purchased
from Peru and Brazil. Last year
Peru shipped 5,919,067 pounds of
this material to the United States. It
is made from the root Of plant
called barbasco, which grows in the
upper Amazon area.

AA Officer Warns
Doirymen Against
Wotsrine Milk

D. r. Trotman. County Admins
trative Officer of the Holmes County
AAA, today warned dairymen a.
gainst the practice Of adding water
to milk prior to sale. Mr.. Trotman
said that since the Government has
been making subsidy payments on
the basis of weight of milk sold, in
vestigators have found some instan-
ces where water had been added to
milk to increase its weight and
thereby increase the subsidy pay
ments. This practice is not only a
violation Of State law but if farmer
adopts this practice and then applies
for dairy production payments, he
makes himself liable for criminal
proceedings by the Federal Govern
ment for fraud. In any event if any
milk sold by the dairyman is found
to have been watered, no dairy pro-
duction payment for the current
quarterly period will be made to
him.
The dairy production payments
are part of the Government pro-
gram for holding down the cost of
living while at the same time the
milk can be sold to consumers with
in the price ceilings established. Mr..
Trotman states that for the last
three-month period ending Decem-
ber 81, 1945, dairy production pay
ments were made in Holmes county
on total of 2,674 pounds of milk.

Cattle treating Given
In Holmes County !.

Demonstrations were given during
the past week in several communi-
ties Of Holmes County on treating
cattle for lice and wolves with der
ris dust, also lice on work animals.
The first requirement in handling
cattle is chute into which they are
driven and bars placed in front and
behind each one before treatment is
started The chute should be made
of bridge lumber nailed to posts
placed securely in the ground. The
width should be 10 inches. If the
chute is made l6 feet long SO that
two or more cattle can be placed in
it at the time, it will expedite the
work A drift should be placed at
the end of the chute where the cat
tie enter. This will make it easier
to get the animals in the chute.
