PHARMACIST /

The physical development
of a child is a marvelous
thing to behold. This growth
may seem to be very slow
to new mothers who tend to
worry about whether or not
their first bom is properly
developing. Not all children
develop at the same rate, but
there are general rules that
may be applied.
As an example, the child
should be able to turn over
and try to sit up by the time it
is six months old. Some effort
to crawl usually follows at
about seven months. The
child should be able to stand
with help by the time he is
nine to 10 months old. He
should be able to toddle after
11 months. Of course, the
child’s pediatrician is an
expert who will be able to tell
if the child is developing at a
normal rate.
Growing children need
vitiamins and medication.
We can fill all of your
pharmaceutical needs. Bring
us your prescriptions for
safe, fast, accurate com
pounding. We are in business
to serve you.

Mrs. Linton Harper has
graciously shared one of her
'favorite recipes, (and her
grandchildrens’ favorite),
•'Million Dollar Cake”. It is a
chocolate cake, light, moist
and chewy with a creamy
chocolate frosting. She clip
ped this recipe from a daily
paper years ago, and if you
try it like I did, you will agree
that it is something special.
MILLION DOLLAR CAKE
3 cups sugar
4 tablespoons Crisco
3 cups cake flour
1 1 k cups evaporated milk
(undiluted)
> 2 teaspoon almond extract

time, beating well after each
addition. (The eggs add the
lightness to this cake, so it is
important to beat well after
each addition). Sift the cake
flour and measure 3 cups,
then re-sift with the baking
powder and cocoa. Add the
almond extract, vanilla and
salt to the evaporated milk.
Stir in the dry ingredients
alternately with the liquid,
beginning and ending with
the flour mixture. Seat until
well-mixed. Grease a large
tube pan, and flour it also.
Bake at 325 degrees for IV2
hours or until done. You will
probably want to check this
after 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Mine was done after 1 hour
and 20 minutes. Oven
temperatures vary so much.
FROSTING
1 stick margarine
4 tablespoons cocoa
1 box lOx confectioner sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 tablespoons perked coffee
Cream margarine, add egg
and mix well. Add the cocoa,
and powdered sugar alter
nately, and blend until
smooth. Then add vanilla and
coffee. I used Kahlua,
coffee-flavored liqueur, but
only 2 tablespoons of Kahlua,
and 1 tablespoon of water.
This gave it a little different
flavor. Frost the cake while it
is slightly warm.

Tips Are Listed For Buying,
Renovating An Old House
There it stands. The old
house is surrounded by large
trees and well grown shrubs.
The inside is laid out with big
rooms and high ceilings like
you like them. And the price
is really good. But it will need
some work.
To help consumers decide
whether an older house you
are buying or living in is
worth fixing up, the U. S.
Department of Agriculture
has published anew book
called Renovate an Old
House? Copies are 35 cents
from the Consumer Informa
tion Center, Dept. 45, Pueblo,
Colorado 81009.
Before you make any
decisions, inspect the house
very carefully. You have to
spend some time to recognize
clues to problems that aren’t
obvious at the moment.
Start in the basement. Is
the foundation good? Some
minor settling is normal and
can usually be fixed by
re-leveling floor joists and
beams. But if you notice
settling and cracking of the
foundation walls in a number
of places, beware. This could
indicate the need for major
foundation work, a very
expensive proposition.
See if the basement is
damp, and, if possible, check
it after a heavy rain.
With the point of a knife,
check the wood in the beams
and joists. If the wood is easy

to poke or a section comes
out wth very little resistance,
chances are there is decay.
And mud tubes going from
the ground to the wood mean
termite trouble.
Upstairs, try the doors and
windows to see if they open
and close easily. Jamming
probably indicates uneven
settling.
Look at the ceiling and
walls for water spots, the
signs of a leaking roof, vapor
through the walls, or gutter
and downspout problems.
For the mechanical parts

probably want an electrician,

plumbing, wiring and heat
ing is not uncommon for an
old house. But the cost must
be added to the total.
When you know what work
must be done, get estimates.
Add this cost, plus a little for
slippage, to the price of the
house. If the total is about the
same or below the price of
similar houses in the area,
you have a good buy.
