PUMPKIN PIE.
FROZEN CUSTARD.

(From Mrs. II. ~, Greenbelt.)
First of all thanks to the readers
who contributed recipes for the rum
pie requested. I am trying them
out one by one and have had ex-
cellent results.
In answer to the request for
pumpkin pie, think Mrs. j. G.
Mack, will have excellent results if
she will first brown her pumpkin. 1
always empty can into a large
iron skillet and let 1t brown over
low. heat, stirring occasionally un-
til all the water has evaporated. I
let it cool then add a cup brown
sugar, l teaspoon cinnamon, y tea
spoon ginger, u teaspoon salt, 2
eggs, IL cups milk, y cup evapo-
rated milk. Bake 10 minutes at $50
degrees. Reduce to 325 degrees
about an hour or until a silver knife
comes out clean.
This gives firm pie, rich brown
In color and has a much more de-
hcious taste than ordinary pumpkin
pie.
The following recipe for frozen
custard was printed on the Woman's
Page years ago before there was a
Clearing House. 1t is by far the
best ice cream recipe I have ever
used. 1t is a 1925 F Street Club
recipe and here it is: Six egg yolks,
2 tablespoons flour, cup granulated
sugar, Il teaspoon salt, cups milk,
cup thin cream, teaspoons
vanilla. Beat the yolks. Add flour,
sugar, salt and milk. Cook in dou-
BILE boiler until it thickens slightly,

Why can't we Of Washington and

prevalent and severe, follow the
Army's pioneering and cut down on
our air borne infections as Mr.. Rat
cliff suggests? I for one would
gladly give my patronage, to any
local grocery, movie or department
store that advertised that its inter-
ior was protected by glycol spray or
ultra violet light. AS for public car
riers-who wouldn't be willing to
pay the increased fare our local
companies would like to get, If the
busses and street cars would add
ultra violet equipment!
Just think, we could also protect
our children in public schools and
nurseries for an initial cost of about
the same amount per child that we
now spend each year on cough
sirups and nose drops!
What about it, family? If you

Ohioan Sentenced
For Theft Of Dog

Willard Weekly of Ak
ron, formerly of Caldwell. today was
under sentence to Ohio Penitentiary
after being convicted for the second
tive Of stealing "Speck" the red
Tick Coon Hound who was declared
"a thing of value" by the Ohio Su-
preme court.
Weekly reiterated that he was in
nocent late yesterday after a jury
had convicted him Of grand larceny.
Judge Walter ]. Mougey denied
request for probation and pro-
nounced sentence without specifying
the length of term. Statutes provide
a term of one to seven years.
"Speck" was worth $50, the jury
decided. A year ago a jury which
convicted Weekly of stealing the dog
from Everett Etzwiler failed to set
a value on the hound.
The case was appealed on a claim
that "Speck" had not been listed for
personal tax and therefore could not
have value on which to base a
charge of grand larceny, but the
State Supreme Court decided that
the hound could have value whether
listed for taxation or not.
Etzwiler, meanwhile, had regained
possession of the dog and reported
he had sold him to another farmer
for 500.
"Speck" appeared in court, led by
deputy sheriff, as the retrial
opened five days ago.

Library Notes

Rilla Archer Curry, of London,
formerly of Caldwell, has presented
the library with three unusual
books, taken from her own personal
library. "Youth in Believing
World by John Clark Archer is one
of the books, and it concerns living
religions. Mr.. Archer was a class
mate of Mrs. Curry's at Hiram
college, after which he went to In
dia as missionary. AS the climate
there was unsulted to hi he soon
returned to this country, and has
since been the head of mission de-
partment at Yale University in New
Haven, Connecticut.
"Muskingum Melodies by Emma
F. Swingle, book of poems, is an
other of the books, and it was a gift
to the late A. o. Archer, brother of
Mrs. Curry. Mr.. Archer studied law
in Caldwell under Charles Leland,
passing the bar at the age of 19. At
the time of his death a few years
ago, Mr.. Archer was an attorney in
st. Louis, Mo. Miss Swingle was
a friend of the late Mr.. Archer and
had presented him with the book of
poems shortly after its publication
in 1897; later it was given to Mrs.
Curry, who presented it to the pub
lie library.
The third book is "Other Worlds
Are Empty" a book of poetry by
Marie Moon Winchester, resident
of London, and a neighbor of Mrs.
Curry. Mrs. Winchester is now writ
ing fiction.
Other donations to the library the
past week consisted of magazines
given by nellie Startzman and the
Baker family on Main street.
Library hours are from 1000 to
4:30 Monday through Saturday and
from G:3O to 500 on Saturday eve
nings.

Caldwell Lady Spit
Up Acid Liquids For
Hours After Eating

For hours after every meal, a
Caldwell lady used to spit up a
strong, acidulous liquid mixed with
pieces of half-digested food. She
says it was awful. At times she
would nearly strangle. She had
stomach bloat, daily headaches and
constant irregular bowel action. To-
day, this lady eats her meals and
enjoys them. And she says the
change is due to taking ERB-HELP.
No gas, bloat or splitting up after
eating. She is also free of head
aches now, and bowels are regular,
thanks to this Remarkable New
Compound.
HELP contains IL Great
Herbs: they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act On sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. Go don't

A boat house is maintained at the
lake with some 10 boats and motors.
You can buy bait but it is best to
take your own.
Only three cottages are available
now but more will be constructed. A
building boom will be on soon at
this lake. Mrs. Virginia Ball main
tains a house where she can accom-
modate IS people. Reservations must
be made. She serves meals too.
You can fish from the bank most
any place. The crappies have favor
tie places and you can detect them
from other fish. Nobody objects if
vou approach another boat as long
as you stav within polite fishing dis
tance. When the crappies are hitting
thew hit so fast everybody catches
fish.
They are beautiful fish, some 18
inches long and all as big as your
hond. You will see strings of fish
with 81 crappies on the string.
Others of 45, q and 12. When they
are hitting, it is the finest kind of
sport.
It would be a grand Improvement
if the road was built and others
developed, but one likes a country
road at that. You will find your
self believing you are in Canada or
some out of the country place. The
water is clean, the air fine. You
must get permission to build fire.
Be sure to take your own food and
water jug.
For the next two months the
crappies will be hitting. They are
eorly this year.
1t may be we'll to read up on the

Fishermen Find SenecaviIle
lake A Good Spot TO Fish

One of these days, in the next two
months, take trip to the Seneca
vile lake in Noble county. There
you will find the finest crappie fish
ing in the country, if not the world
1t was the noted commentator,
Lowell Thomas, who said over the
air that Senecaville Lake had the
largest crappies in the world. 1t is
very true. You have never seen such
fish. Minnows are the standard bait
but they will hit crab, wigglers, pork
rinds ard flies of all description.
I was in Senecaville the other day
and / think the first order of busi-
ness should be to provide a road
from Senecavi,le to the lake. You
have a few miles of mud road but
it is passable and don't let it pre-
vent your trip.
Here we go from Columbus down
Route 40, one of the loveliest drives.
You travel on through GAINESVILLE
and don't forget when you come to
Cambridge to take a look as you
pass through the town, for right
outside you will get some of the best
views of scenery in the state. You
come upon the pretty town of Cam
bridge suddenly as you travel
around bend. There like a noun

Then you hit Route 81. 1t is a
good road. Keep on going to 313

to Senecaville. A little sign will tell
you to go down what appears to
be an alley; keep going until you
