Fruit in Breads
YIfHEN Marie Antoinette was
■ told that the people had no
'r ad she is said to have an
swered : “Why don’t they eat
take?” Had this flippant Queen
"ved in a later epoch, she might
very well have recommended a
fruit bread to the hungry peas
ants. For certainly there is no
more nourishing or appetizing
form of the staff of life than tasty
fruit muffins or biscuits. Here
are some excellent recipes.
Blueberry Biscuits: Sift to
gether two cups flour, four tea
spoons baking powder, one tea
spoon salt and two tablespoons
sugar. Cut in four tablespoons
shortening, or work in with finger
tips. Add seven-eighths cup di
luted evaporated milk to make a
-ough sett enough to drop. Add
two-thirds cup well drained
canned blueberries quickly and
carefully and drop by spoonfuls
on a buttered baking sheet or in
muffin tins. Bake in a hot oven
(450 degrees) for twelve to fifteen
minutes.
Try This for Breakfast
Apple and Date Muffins: Beat
two eggs and add one cup milk.
Sift together two cups flour, three
tablespoons sugar, four teaspoons
baking powder, and one-half tea
spoon salt, and add to first mix
ture. Add one-half cup canned
apple sauce and three tablespoons
melted butter. Add one-half cup
chopped dates, and pour into
tered muffin tins. Bake about
fifteen to twenty minutes in a hot
oven (400 degrees). This makes
eight to ten muffins.* f _

Being Called a
Philanthropist
By LILLI AM CROWLEY
(CoovrlKhO
NT ATAI.IE JONES was n bitterly
< ilisuppo iiteil girl. Slit* nail been
eo truly In love with Paul Lester, and
now everything was over between
them forever I Perhaps It *ns Just ns
well to find out hut he was a dic
tatorial brute. Brute! Yes, he was
a brute to Intimate that she was n
selfish butterfly who didn't cure for
her fellow beings.
Of course, he didn’t say Just ex
actly that, but it was wlinl lie meant.
She was ‘nklnu part In the bridge
tournament and couldn’t go and see
the woman he asked her to visit when
he had to go out of town.
Of course, everybody was sorry for
poor people!
Anyway, she would show him that
It wasn’t anything wonderful to be
culled a philanthropist. She'd show
him that she could dc Just as good
work In that way as anybody. Then
when she had done a tot of good work
he could come to tier on Ills bended
knees begging her forgiveness, and
she wouldn't grant it.
Natalie had no distinct plan for go
ing out Into the world as a human!
tnrlnn, hut she would find a way.
She lay on the couch, moody and un
happy.
“Natalie, dear," said her mother,
coming Into the room dressed for the
street, "1 have Just hud a disappoint
ment. Mrs. Smith cannot help me at
the Women's club children program
this afternoon, and I am forced to call
upon you.”
Natalie’s first Impulse was to refuse
to go. then —"Why, yes, mother, I'll
help you.”
Natalie went with her mothei and
before she realized it she v(’as In
tensely Interested Then she spied
a little hoy, about seven years of nge,
with the most beautiful face she had
ever seen. He was like a young St.
John. He kept perfect time nnd sang
beautifully. Tears came to her eyes
when she noticed his clothes. They
were threadbare and clumsy.
“Poor little fellow," she thought,
“his people must he very poor and
these clothes me handed down from
an older brother. I'll buy him a suit
myself!’’
Her heart tilled with Joy at the
thought of helping the dear little
fellow.
The next morning she started off
to find the place where the boy lived.
She was surprised when she again
read the address, for it was in a very
good part of town. "There may be
some old run-down houses there,’’ she
thought.
She could hardly believe her eyes
when she saw the h use. It was al
most a mansion. She compared the
number over the door with the card
given her by the teacher. They were
the same.
There was only one thing to do—
go up nnd Inquire. The door was
opened by a maid.
“Can you tell me where 1 may find
Bernard Limoges?”
“Master Bernard Limoges lives here.
He is in school now. Would you like
to see his mother. St.e is in.”
“Y'ou don’t understand. I am look
ing for a poor boy. See, this is his
name nnd address." Natalie showed
the card to the puzzled maid. A beau
tiful young woman came into the hull
and said to Natalie:
“Won’t you come in, please, and
tell me about it?”
Natalie, all apologies, accompanied
the young woman into a richly fur
nished drawing room.
“I’m afraid I’ve made a mistake.
Lei me tell you how It happened.”
She told about the lovely boy in the
clumsy clothes. “1 am so sorry for
him and want to help him.”
The young woman’s face, which had
worn a look of astonishment at first,
gradually changed to a look of relief
and then to one of quiet amusement.
“You dear girl, I love you for yom
sweet intention. But us you didn’t
stay for the last of the performance
you couldn't know that my little son.
Bernard, was dressed for a purt In a
play.’’
"A .lay!” gasped Natalie.
Natalie was overeo ne with confu
sion. She arose to go.
“Wait a little, here comes m.v hus
band and ttie architect who is doing
our new country home. I want you to
meet them. M.v husband.” she heard
the voice ot her hostess.
Natalie offered her hand. Then,
“Miss Jones, allow me to present Mr
Lester.” it was Paul! She bowed
coldly, although sue was in a fever
of fright. Where was the plan she
had for scorning Paul after proving
her ability to do noble deeds? She
had brought übout this humiliating
fiasco 1 She would escape at once.
“I must tell you hov Miss Jones
and I became acquainted.” Mrs.
Limoges addressed the two men. Then
followed the whole story. Natalie
was trapped. Her shaking limbs would
hardly hold her. Paul gave her a
long and searching look. Her blazing
cheeks told the story of her utter
confusion.
Again she started to leave.
“I shall drive Miss Jones home,”
Paul said to Mrs. Limoges, and taking
Natalie’s unresisting arm hastened to
the waiting motor. But the motor was
not started for several moments.
Can’t Be Moved
When n determined character makes
up his mind not to do a thing, nothing
Is more positive thaD his negative.—

John Wesley Letter Presented To
College
Mucon, Ga.— A letter, said to
have been written by John Wesley,
early Methodist leader, in which he
advises his brother, Samuel, to “take
care to walk closely with God and to
exhort others so to do,” has been
presented to Wesleyan College here.
The college said the gift was
made by William L. Clements, of
Bay City, Mich., a collector.
The letter, dated August 15, 1771,
at Bristol, follows:
‘‘Dear Sammy: I had intended
you for a more distant circuit where
I believe you would have been ex
ceedingly useful. But we can hard
ly show tenderness enough to our
aged parent. Therefore, for your
mother’s sake, I appoint you for the
Derbyshire circuit, which you know
borders upon that of Manchester.
“Take care to walk closely with
God and to exhort others so to do.
Be instant in season, out of season.
Encourage all to expect salvation
here. I am your affectionate broth
er, J. Wesley.’’

Water Famine Loom* In Haralson
County
Buchanan, Ga.—On account of the
drought -that has prevailed in this
section for the past several weeks,
some of the larger streams have en
tirely ceased running and wells that
have never failed before are report
ed as having gone dry. The Big
Tallapoosa river is so low that it can
be stepped in some places, and Aber
nathy’s mill located on this river five
miles north of Buchanan is being
run by large gasoline engines, there
not being enough water power to
turn the big turbine.
Some citizens of Buchanan have
been hauling water for days and un
less there is rain soon many more
will have to follow suit as numerous
wells are so low they are mpddy.
It hasn’t rained here for some two
months and unless there is a good
precipitation soon a water famine is
inevitable.

cotton without some compensation.
The board has agreed to accept
deferred payments so that the sur

able immediately.
