Do You Like Meat?
If you use it with chickens, it’s good as the dickens,
\ And it adds to the succulent taste of a steak —
Or unth liver and bacon it’s bully—no fakin’ —
And in fritters for frying this fruit takes the cake.
I
, "TIITF. fruit to which these lines
/ refer is pineapple. For inod
ern dietitians have discov
ered a way in which you can
cat more meat with less
prospect of its disagreeing with you,
and this is by combining it with
this tropical fruit. It has been
found that pineapple contains a sub
stance, a digestive enzyme known as
bromelin, that helps materially in
the digestion of meats.
Not only that, but chefs and
dietitians have gone a step further,
and found that pineapple combines
wonderfully in taste, as well as ad
vantageously from the dietetic stand
point, with bacon, beef, chicken,
ham, lamb, liver, pork, turkey, veal
and various other meats. But
there’s no use telling you this with
out going on and telling you how
to effect some of these tasty and
tempting meat combinations. So
here goes:
Chicken Combinations
Paradise Island Chicken : Drain
a No. 2 x /i can of sliced Hawaiian
pineapple, and brown the slices in
butter in a large, heavy skillet. Re
move, add the contents of a 4-ounce
can of mushrooms (or half a pound
of fresh mushrooms), brown and
remove. Cut up one 4-pound
chicken in pieces for frying, roll in
seasoned flour, and brown well in
the same fat. Return mushrooms to
pan and lay pineapple over the top
(it is best to use two skillets, if
making the full recipe). Combine
the pineapple syrup with the mush
room liquor, and add enough water
to make about three and one-half
cups. Pour over, add a little salt,
. FOODS IN SMALL CANS
A RECENT survey revealed the
fact that an amazing number
of different products are now pro
cessed and put up in those con
venient 8-ounce cans which con
tain just enough to content two
people, or the contents of which
can even be consumed by one
hungry person alone.
These small individual cans
have proved a boon to the cities
where storage space is at a pre
mium. When one realizes that 57
per cent, of our population now
lives in cities, as compared with
40 per cent, in 1900, one under
stands the reason for their popu
larity.
The season of summer bache
lors is fast approaching. For the
sake of these bachelor maids and
couples without children, nearly
a hundred different packs of
fruits and vegetables are now put
up in these small cans.
Here’s the List
The fruits include apple sauce,
apricots (plain and peeled), black
berries (including a fancy grade),
cherries (Royal Anne, black ring,
red pitted and black), cranberry
6auce, figs (including a Califor
nia variety), fruit cocktail, fruits
for salad, fruit salad, grapefruit,
grapes (seedless), loganberries
(including a fancy pack), olives
(ripe), peaches (diced, halves
cover and cook gently for about one
to one and a half hours, or till
tender. Arrange chicken and pine
apple around a mound of hot but
tered noodles, and serve with gravy
made by slightly thickening the
liquor and mushrooms left in the
pan. This serves eight.
Chicken Pie, South Seas: Clean
one 4-pound chicken, and cut up in
pieces for serving; pour over six
cups boiling water and one table
spoon salt, and cook gently until al
most tender. Add two cups potato
balls or cubes and sixteen small
onions, and continue cooking until
tender. Remove chicken and vege
tables, add four slices of canned
Hawaiian pineapple cut in dice (half
the contents of a No. 2/2 can or use
two 8-ounce cans of Hawaiian pine
apple tidbits), and arrange in cas
serole. Smooth together four table
spoons flour and four tablespoons
water, add four cups of the chicken
stock, season, if necessary, and pour
over. Cover top with tiny baking
powder biscuits, and bake about
thirty minutes, having oven hot at
first, then moderate. This, too,
serves eight.
Bully With Beef
Grilled Steak Platter: Place a
steak large enough for four people
on a greased broiler with four large
slices of parboiled sweet potatoes,
eight large slices of parboiled par
snips and eight large slices of par
boiled carrots, all three vegetables
brushed with butter, and four slices
of Hawaiian pineapple dipped in
French dressing. Broil, turning when
necessary. When half done, add
four thick slices tomato sprinkled
and sliced, pears (Bartlett and
diced), pineapple (crushed, tid
bits and juice), plums (green
gage), prunes (fancy purple,
fresh Oregon and stewed), rasp
berries (red and black, including
a fancy red pack), rhubarb and
strawberries (including a fancy
pack).
The vegetables are artichoke
hearts, asparagus (cut tips, dainty
salad points, large tips, mammoth
tips, medium tips, natural green
cuts and small tips), beans (cut
refugee, cut stringless, cut wax,
green lima, lima, medium green
lima, New England style, oven
baked and red kidney), beets
(diced and sliced), Brussels
sprouts, carrots (diced), carrots
and peas, corn (Country Gentle
man, fancy Crosby, golden ban
tam, golden bantam crushed, gold
en cream, kernelettes, popping,
white and whole grain), krautine,
mushrooms, peas (garden, run of
garden, sweet garden and sweet
wrinkled), sauerkraut, spinach,
succotash (golden bantam corn,
white corn and with green limas),
tomatoes (plain and sauce), tur
nips (diced), vegetables (mixed
and for salad) and vegetable sur
prise.
Other products are brown bread,
mackerel, molasses (Barbados),
spaghetti (plain and prepared)
and shrimp. There are probably
with chopped green peppers. Lay
four slices of bacon on top of sweet
potatoes. Finish broiling. Serve on
•platter with vegetables and pine
apple in border around steak.
Beef and Pineapple Fritters: Fry
one pound chopped Ixittom round of
beef in a little fat in skillet until
brown, working with a fork to keep
pieces separate. Add to two well
beaten eggs. Add the contents of
one 8-ounce can of crushed Hawaiian
pineapple (one cup), one tablespoon
chopped parsley, and one cup flour,
two teaspoons baking powder and
one-half teaspoon salt, sifted to
gether. Drop by small spoonfuls into
hot fat, 375°, and fry golden brown.
Serve with gravy made from drip
pings in which beef was fried. This
makes two dozen small fritters.
With Liver and Bacon
Liver and Bacon with Fruit Gar
nish : Pour boiling water over two
pounds liver, let stand several min
utes, drain and remove blood ves
sels, skin, etc. Dip in seasoned flour
and fry in fat until brown and ten
der. Lay slices of canned Hawaiian
pineapple over each slice of liver,
and on top put half a banana, cut
crosswise, then lengthwise. (This
requires one No. can of pine
apple and eight bananas.) Cut
eight long slices of bacon in halves,
and cross over the top. Place under
broiler flame until bacon is crisp
and fruits slightly browned. As the
bacon cooks faster than the fruit,
it is well to let the fruit start to
brown before laying on the bacon
Gravy may be made from the drip
pings. Serves eight.*
several more which were, missed
in the survey, but many good re
cipes have been evolved from the
above.
Some Fruit Recipes
Here are some fruit recipes, for
instance, which are easy to pre
pare and will serve from two to
four.
Raspberry Cream: Soak two
teaspoons gelatin in two table
spoons cold water five minutes.
Bring the contents of an 8-ounce
can of raspberries, three table
spoons sugar and two tablespoons
lemon juice to boiling, pour over
gelatin and stir until dissolved.
Cool. When about to jelly, fold
in one-half cup heavy cream. A
can of the new beating cream
which has just been put on the
market can be used if you have
no refrigerating facilities.
Blackberry Cobbler: Heat the
contents of one 8-ounce can of
blackberries to boiling, add one
tablespoon of flour mixed with one
teaspoon of sugar, and cook till
slightly thick. Add one teaspoon
of lemon juice and one teaspoon of
butter, and pour into a buttered
baking dish. Cut rich baking
powder biscuit dough in >tiny
rounds and lay over the top.
Bake In a hot oven, 450®, for
fifteen minutes.* . ... .

“IS THAT A STORY?” QUERY
OF GATTY TO NEWS REPORTER
Los Angeles, July 2.—Four months
ago a blue-eyed young chap wander
ed into a Los Angeles newspaper of
fice, told a reporter of plans for fly
ing around the world in 10 days or
less and asked, “Would that make a
story?”
It was Harold Gatty?”
“Wiley Post and I,” he explained,
“you know, the winner of last year’s
non-stop air race to Chicago, are
going to fly around the world in 10
days, mabe seven. Would that make
a story?”
It would. It did. Not only did
Post and Gatty go ahead methodi
cally with their preparations; that
adhered to the plans with surprising
rigor.
Gatty, for instance, said plans
showed 107 hours’ of flying time
would be required. The flight took
them just 105 hours, 8 minutes.
They figured the ship would make
150 miles an hour. It did, on an
average. ’
Changes At The State
Capitol
People who visited the State Capi
tol on last Suturday and had not
been in the building in the l past two
years were struck with the many
changes that have taken place. A
writer in the Dawson News had the
following to say of the many changes
that greeted the new governor:
• * *
Then, too, he will find the famous
shower bath in the executive office
ante-room. He will find th/ gover
nor’s official room handsomely over
hauled, with magnificent panel work
walls and ceilings, of dark color, a
magnificent desk and a chair which
cost about $2,500, and a bit of art
work which he may or may not like.
He will find the executive reception
room a beautifully modern place
with inset hard wood flooring, panel
work walls and ceiling and its latest
addition a lot of beautiful leather
upholstered chairs and lounges, some
of an awfully bright blue. They
alternate in color, as they are placed.
Mostly they surround the huge pil
lars in the middle of the room and a
couple of antiquated old desks which
one of the secretaries uses.
He will find the whole interior of
the capitol building repainted, a lot
of it imitation marble, so as to sort
of match the wainscoting, and all
along the side walls and around the
numerous pillars he will find that
new paint and art graining nicely
covered with a fresh lot of tobacco
spit and dirt. In the hallways, if
they are not changed before the end
of the week, he will find in some
places a lot of these modern electric
light globes suspended from the nice,
new ceilings on the end of the same
old style electric wire string ar
rangement folks used to use when
electric lights first came out. But
on the main floor he will find a col
lection of numerous styles and types
of light shades, one of one kind, one
of another and so on; none of them
alike. Those, according to a vague
sort of rumor, are to be changed.
They are merely samples of every
kind that could be thought of to pick
from.
Down on the ground floor, how
ever, there will be a surprise for
the new governor. That used to be
about the filthiest dump heap in the
state. A catch-all for everything,
mostly dirt and old boxes; coal dust
and now and again some old shoes
and things. All that has been chang
ed. It is the one floor in the build
ing where there is a thoroughly
modern idea carried to completion;
where the dark, dusty old rooms
have been converted into handsome
offices; the corridors such as would
do credit to any modern building.
All is not to be dean, bright and
luxurious, however. The rooms oc
cupide by some of the departments
have not been touched by the paint
ers and renovators, and walls and
furnishings are dirty, dingy and dis
graceful.
On the outside of the building
there is the same old smoke-collec
tion of soot and grime that has been
collecting ever since the structure
was completed about forty years
ago. But inside the change has been
j, rca t—no> the least of which is the
complete disappearance of all those
magnificent old oil paintings—the
gallery of governors and statesmen.
The overhaulers did leave the Clay
monument and the W. C. T. U.
drinking fountain which, by the way,
has never had a drop of anything to
pass through it, not even water, since
it was set up and dedicated.
NOT GETTING OUR MONEY’S
WORTH
Commentators on American life
and habits tell us that we are today
paying $4 for crime for every dollar
we spend on schools.
Now, we know we are not stingy
with our schools. The upkeep of
our educational system is the most
expensive thing in our tax budget,
aside from the sums we are paying
for past wars and preparing for
future ones. So there is no dollar
stinting so far as our schools are
concerned.
But the charge made does raise
the question of whether we are get
ting what value we should out of
the money we spend to educate the
rising generations. If our schools
and colleges contribute to our social
order young men and women who
eventually cost us in crime four
times as much as we spent on their
education there must be something
wrong somewhere.
We are not niggardly in our edu
cational appropriations, but our edu
cators might begin a check-up on
aims, methods and systems to dis
cover why it is we are turning out
so many young people who do not
become good citizens. Dawson

The Week Before You Die
(By Dr. Thornhill Jacobs, i' r ■ • M*nt
Oglethorpe Univer ,)
Some time has passed since it hap
pened, but the story is such a beauti
ful one that it is entirely worth re
peating.
It is the story of a college presi
dent, Dr. Samuel Darker Rrooks, of
Baylor University, dying of cancer,
who wished his last moments to lie
occupied in signing the diplomas of
his graduating class.
This he insisted on doing, al
though they numbered up into the
hundreds and although his strength
could not and did not last until ‘he
iast diploma could be presented for
his signature.
Which one of us, reading this
story, would not ask himself the
question, “How would I like to spend
the last moments of my lit'*? With
what employment would I busy my
self if I had only a few weeks to
live?”
I think perhaps the finest answer
ever made to that question was that
made by Epistetus, the old Greek
slave philosopher:
“What wouldst thou be found do
ing when overtaken by death? If I
might choose, I would be found do
ing some deed of true humanity, of
wide import, beneficent and noble.
But if I may not be found engaged
in aught so lofty, let me hope at
least for this—what none may hind
er, what is surely in my power—that
I may be found raising up in myself
that which had fallen; learning to
deal more wisely with the things of
sense; working out my own tran
quility, and thus rendering that
which is its due to every relation of
life. ... If death surprise me thus
employed, it is enough if I can
stretch forth my hands to God and
say, ‘The faculties which I received
at Thy hands for apprehending this
thine administration I have not neg
lected. As far as in me lay, I have
done Thee no dishonor. Behold how
I have used the senses, the primary
conceptions which Thou gavest me.
Have I ever laid anything to Thy
charge? Have 1 ever murmured at
aught that came to pass, or wished it
otherwise? Have lin anything
transgressed the relations of life?
For that Thou didst beget me, I
| thank Thee for that Thou hast given;
for the time during which I have
used the things that were Thine, it
suffices me. Take them back and
place them wherever Thou wilt! They
were all Thine, and Thou gavest
me.’ If a man depart thus minded,
is it not enough? What life is fair
er or more noble, what end happier
than his?”
College Degrees
(From Winder News)
The colleges are making them
selves ridiculous by the promiscu
ous conferring of degrees on every
publicity seeker who gets his name
in the papers.
The Outlook had an article in a
recent edition that is pertinent to this,
practice, which we copy as follows:
“The dry commonsense of Will
Rogers, which gives the best of his
comments memorable bite and spar
kle never appeared to better advan
tage than it did a few days ago. Mr.
Rogers heard that Oklahoma City
University had been thinking of
making him a Doctor of Humanity
and Letters. “What are you trying
to do,” he wired to The Daily Okla
homan, “make a joke out of college
degrees? They arc in bad enough
repute as it is, without handing ’em
around to comedians. The whole
honorary degree thing is the “hooey.®
I saw some college giving Mellon
one, and he is a billion bucks short.
I got too much respect for peoplo
that work and earn ’em to see ’em
handed around to every notorious
character.”
Mr. Rogers’ semi-serious words
breathe a pointed truth. Our insti
tutions of learning have so badly
abused their honorary degrees that
to be awarded one begins to be the
equivalent of being crowned with an
old tomato can. Even Big Bill
Thompson has been solemnly honor
ed by an American university—
Bill’s a Doctor Laws. At times,
of course, honoary degrees are dis
tributed simply as rewards for, or in
expectation of fat benefactions;
even when they are not, however,
they often attract more attention to
donors than to the recipients. They'
show that the guiding minds of many
of our universities lack both discri
mination and a reasonable sense of
values on which to base it. Will Rog
ers’ comment came just in time.
Possibly it will make some of our
university heads think twice before
they stultify this commencement
season by draping their ribbons over
persons who do not deserve them,’*
