Tomatoes for
Children .
SOME months ago in Kansas Cky,
mothers and teichers made an
agreement to conducta great edu
cational experiment. The purpose was
to determine how much success in
school is affected by what the child
eats.
A local parent and teacher associa
tion carried on the experiment with
children who were starting to school
the following fall. Rules on child
feeding were laid down and they in
cluded only the very simple foods
carefully arranged and measured. The
diet consisted of milk.-vegetables, and
fruit, and the meals were so planned
that the child- received in each one
the sufficient caloric value with all
the food properties in correct pro
portion.
This is what happened: In check
ing the progress of these children
during the first year of. school, it
was found that “The usual number
of failures was reduced by an enor
mous amount.” Rules on the diet
of growing v children had brought
about these desirable results.
Tomatoes are among the important
items to be served to the child reg
ularly, for these have the maximum
amount of vitairtin A and also the
greatest possible content of vitamins
and C. There is no more im
portant food on the health lists than
tomatoes, either fresh'or canned, and
a growing child should have tomatoes
in some form every day of the year.
The mother’s difficulty is to arrange
her menus not only so that the child
has the correct food values but also
so that he does not realize he is eat
ing the very same food as ofterv as
it is necessary that he should eat it.
She must find new and unusual ways
of fixing tomatoes so that her child
will eat them willingly and with
pleasure the year round.
There are many ways of varying
the daily appearance of tomatoes at
the family table. As they come in
cans of five different sizes, aim fttt any
tomato dish may be prepared with
out any waste or left-overs. Toma
toes are equally healthful for both
adults and children and great care
should therefore be taken to serve
them in likeable and/appetizing forms.
Here are several suggestions for help
ing your family enjoy this health
giving food.
Blushing Bunny
Unlike 'other rarebits, Blushing
Bunny or tomato rarebit is a health
ful food for children. The jomatoes
courtteract any undesirable effects
from the cheese and also supply their
usual excellent vitamin contents. It
can be made very easily by heating a
No. 2 size car, of tomatoes with a
can of American cream cheese. When
the cheese is melted, add three eggs
well beaten and stir until thick. If
you do not- care to use eggs, another
good method combines a cai of
tomato soup with a pound and a half
of melted cheese. Serve on toast.
Remove contents from one can of
tomatoes and drain some of their
liquor from the tomatoes. Season with
salt, pepper, and a few drops of
onion juice, and sugar if preferred
sweet. Cover the bottom of a but
tered baking dish with buttered bread
crumbs, cover with tomatoes, and
sprinkle thickly with buttered crumbs.
Bake in hot oven until crumbs are
brown.
Cream of Tomato Soup
1 small can of tomatoes
2 teaspoons sugar
\\ teaspoon soda
1 quart milk
1 slice onion
4 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
y 2 teaspoon pepper
Yz cup butter
Scald milk with onion, remove
onion, and thicken milk with flour
diluted with cold water until - thin
enough to pour, being careful that
the mixture is free from lumps; cook
twenty minutes in doable boiler, stir
ring constantly at first. Cook toma
toes with sugar fifteen minutes, add
soda, and rub through a sieve; com
bine mixtures, and .strain into tureen
over butter, salt, arid pepper.

THE REGISTRATION OF VOTERS
August 5, 1926.—H0n. A. C. Ap
pleby, Chairman Board of Registrars,
Jefferson, Ga. Dear Sir and Friend:
I am rlfclying to yours of
3rd at my first opportunity. You
ask:
| “Can an elector come in at this
late date, pay up his back taxes and
have his name to be placed on the
registration list, or any other list for
voting in the primary on September
8,,1926?’’
i Code Section. 47 (b) provides as
follows:
r “Each year the tax collectors of
the seceral counties shall make up
registration lists for the year- as now
provided by law, by putting on- such
registration lists the names of sucli
electors as appear on the permanent
qualification book of them at least
six months prior to the election for
which the registration lists is made
up.” I
Under the present laws of Georgia,
a voter is required to pay his taxes
six months prior to the election, and
to*keep his name on the permanent
registration lis.t, he is obliged to
keep his taxes paid up.
Section 49 provides that:
“The tax collector, the ordinary
and the clerk shall, before the 20th
of April each year, prepare and file
with the registrars a complete alpha
betically arranged list of all who ap
pear to be disqualified from voting
by reqson of non-payment of taxes x
XXX X ”
Section 60 provides for the prepar
ation of this list.
It is true that the Supreme Court,
in the 112 Georgia, p. 308, has held,
in a case involving what was termed
a fraudulent registration, and where
the man had not paid his taxes but
later paid and was permitted to vote,
that:
“It (the General Assembly) may
have also concluded that whether a
man who registered took .the oath
honestly or corruptly, it would be a
wise policy to grant this privilege,
for the principal cause of disqualifi- i
cation is the non-payment of taxes.” ,
My conclusion, under all the law
that I have befen able to find, is that:
if the citizen’s name has been left
off the registration list without fault
of the officers and registrars, the
citizen cannot legally pay his taxes
now and be placed fen the regis
tration list for this election. On the
contrary, if, by any irregularity or
fault of the county officials, the
citizen’s name has been omitted, the
registrars, on hearing evidence,
might have his name placed on the
registration list, and if the citizen
13 otherwise free from fault, he
might be permitted to remove the
disqualification of the non-payment
of taxes by paying up now, under
the decision in the 112 Ga., above re
ferred to.
Regretting to have to take so much
space in outlining the matter, and
with best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Geo. M. Napier,
Attorney-General.

We have a%ked several teachers
and others what the Indians did for
salt when they inhabited this country
—if they had any. But no one
knows. During the Civil War tile
supply .of salt got so short here that
flarrison W. 'Riley had it manufaet-'
ured from dirt dug up in a smoke
house standing on the lot about where
we are sticking type. In this smoke
house he had from time to time salted
and stored many thousands of pounds
!of meat, where it dripped and the
earth was boiled and a lot of salt"
manufactured from it.* If it was to
get so scarce again for any cause the
salt would have to come from the west
where most of the smoke houses are
located and the wheat filds are
which supply most of the flour we
use down here.
