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.

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. * ********** • PLAIN VIEW • • ********** j Several from this place went to Lebanon, Sunday, and reported a fine time. | Mrs. Een Wallace and children of Sparta are spending a while' with friends and relatives of thi3 place.

CLIPPINGS FROM DAHLONEGA - 4 NUGGET v • ■. .1 I ,wm 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. I N * * * | There are lots of boys and girls who will ramble about over the woods frequently in the spring in search of wild flowers, who won’t touch a black berry on the briars for fear of get ting their hands scratched. /* • • A friend of ours informed us a few days ago that he made a little blackberry wine. But do not say anything about it because too many might get sick and want some for medicine. ** * * City Marshal Davis captured a can partly filled with liquor Sunday night, out, about Last Chance, near the cemetery. This is a good place to test liquor. Then if it kills a person they can be planted with much less trouble to any one. * * * We saw a lady visitor in town a few days ago with a full dress on, which was very attractive after see ing so many of ,the female sex out wearing a little more than enough to cover the body and a pair of flesh cohered hose and red painted cheeks and lips. * * * We heard of one mountaineer finding a bee tree some time back that contained about three hundred pounds of honey. Now if he had some brandy he could have a good taste in his mouth for jnonths and cause him to love everybody includ ing the infants in the cradle and the ones with the tender hands that rock them. , . •• • J Ma Ferguson was defeated in the Texas primarU last week by a big majority for governor, showing that the majority do not favor a petti coat government. * * • Our notion is that na preacher who carries a pistol ,in ms pocket to church will ever get to heaven. * * • i If what everything candidates re port on each oth'er are true the most of them ought to be in the'chaingang or penitehtiary.
