Fruit Breads and Muffins
WHEN the one and only
George Bernard S. remarks
with customary find 1 cutting
sarcasm apropos the heroine of
one of his plays that she Cjpuld
afford a man no more inspiration
than “a plate of muffins,” we, be
ing just ordinary mortals, do not
venture to' question does he know
his lady—what we say to our
selves, sotto voce, is, “does he
know his muffins?” Were they
blueberry muffins, or pineapple
muffins or hot cherry muffins? If
so, one could do far worse than
to choose for a life partner a lady
whose capacities for inspiration!
equalled those of these delectable
morsels. They are poems in food,
and the man TO ho has breakfasted
on them whistling down the
street conscious of his great good
fortune in being thus signally fa
vored by the gods.
£>e!e<*able Blueberry Muffins
For a “Better Breakfast” no
housewife can do better than to
choose biueberry muffins. Let her
open a big can of the delicious
fruit, and serve what is left later
in the day in blueberry roly-poly
or charlotte.
Fruit breads and muffins are a
pleasant tyay in which to get
fruits into the diet—especially
during the season when fresh
fruits are rare and expensive, as
most delicious hot breads can be
made of inexpensive canned
fruits. Read the follo<hmg re
cipes and you will know exactly
how to do it.
Blueberry Muffins: Mix and sift
two cups flour, three tablespoons
sugar, four teaspoons baking pow
der and one-half teaspoon salt.
Add two well-beaten eggs mixed
with one cup milk. Next add
three tablespoons melted bitfter,
and three-fourths cup drained
blueberries. Bake in greased
muffin tins twenty to twenty-five
minutes.
Hot Fruit Biscuits
Apricot Biscuits: Sift two cups
flour, four teaspoons baking pow
der and one tea-spoon salt. Cut in
three tablespoons shortening.
1 Beat one egg wall, and blend with
one-half cup apricot pulp made
; by draining and pressing canned
1 fruit through sieve. Add one
fourth cup apricot syrup, and com
bine mixture with dry ingredients.
Pat or poll out gently, and cut in
rounds. Bake in very hot, 450°
oven, twelve to fifteen minutes. 1
Scotch Peach Cakes: Cream
half cup shortening and half cup
sugar; add one well-beaten egg.
Make one-third cup peach puree
by pressing canned peaches, fruit
and syrup, through a sieve. Add
to first mixture. Add one and one
half cups sifted pastry flour, one
teaspoon baking powder, one
fourth teaspoon soda and a few
grains of 6alt, then one cup quick
cooking oatmeal. Chill. Drop
small spoonfuls on greased baking
sheet. Leave two inches between,
as the dough spreads. Bake in
moderate, 350°, oven for about
ten minutes. Makes about four
dozen.
Apple Corn Pancakes: Beat
two eggs well. Mix together oa^
and one-third cups thick sour
cream, two-thirds cup canned
applesauce and one teaspoon eodav
and add. Sift together three
fourths cup flour, one and one
fourth cups cornmeal, one-half
teaspoon baking powder and one
half teaspoon salt. Add four
tablespoons melted butter. Bake
on hot griddle like any pancakes.
Pineapple Coffee Cake: Make
a sponge by softening one cake
yeast in one-fourth cup lukewarm
water with one teaspoon sugar,
and adding one-half cup evapora
ted milk which has been combined
with one-half cup boiling water
and cooled to lukewarm, and one
cup flour. Beat well, and let rise
until very light, about one to one
and one-half hours. To this light
sponge add one well-beaten egg,
one-half cup sugar and four
tablespoons butter, softened or
melted. Then add two and one
half or three cups flour and one-*
half teaspoon salt, using just suf
ficient flour to make dough stiff
enough to knead, the less the bet
ter. Knead well, and let rise
again until double in bulk. Cut
down, knead slightly and pat into
large flat rounds in buttered cake
or pie tins. Have dough fairly
thin; brush top with butter and
let rise double. Meanwhile boil
together till very thick one No. 2
can crushed pineapple, one-half
cup sugar and a few grains of
salt. Spread this mixture on the
dough just before putting into
oven and sprinkle top with brown
sugar. Bake in hot oven, 400°,
twenty-five* to thirty t minutes.
Makes two rounds the size of or
binary pie tins.*
WHY —
Keyboard of Typewriter 1s
So Arranged.
Explaining why the keys on the
typewriter ure placed as they are one
typewriter company says: "The first
commercially successful typewriter,
which was placed oh the market about
fifty years ago, contained a keyboard
almost identical with that used at the
present time. The retention of this
keyboard is undoubtedly due to the
fact that hundreds of thousands of
typists have learned It, so that It has
become practically nniversnl, and
prejudice against a change causes
manufacturers to continue arranging
the letters In accordance with the de
sires of the mnjority of those who use
it When all is said and done, the
present arrangement Is a pretty good
one. To attempt to mnke a radical
scientific change would, in our opin
ion, not he feasible. J and K plight
be rearranged with advantage. We do
not know why these particular letters
were placed on the second row of keys.
Certainly their position is not the host
for a touch typist. However, touch
typewriting was not known In the
early days of the typewriter, so that
the position of J and K was not so
Important at the time the order of
letters was arranged. The, reason for
the present arrangement Ims never
been satisfactorily explained so far ns
we kaotv. We think the printers’
case had something to do with the ar
rangement, and also that the arrange
ment was affected by the fact that the
keys were In n circular basket and
this arrangement to some extent pre
vented the keys from clashing. We
think also that whoever arranged the
letters had some thought for ttie se
quence of the letters and tried, as far
as possible, to harmonize the different
points we have mentioned."
Why So Many Dislike
to Walk Under Ladder
There is an old superstition, which Is
still quite common, that it is unlucky
to walk under a ladder. How the belief
originated is not known. One writer
suggests it may have arisen from the
fact that In early times culprits were
often hanged from ladders propped
against buildings. Another believes
that the superstition Is the natural
outgrowth of the danger incident to
walking under ladders. According to
the most usual version of the super
stition, ill luck will follow a person
who walks under a ladder, unless he
stops to make a wish, in Which event
no ill luck will befall him. Moreover,
the wish made under sucli circum
stances will come true. In England
the superstition has a special provi
sion, namely. If an unmarried woman
walks under the ladder she will not be
married within a year. It is also con
sidered unlucky to walk on a ladder
lying on the-ground.—Exchange.
Why Wesley Rose Early.
John Wesley, the great preacher,
was anxious to waste so time unnec
essarily in sleep. Finding lie woke ev
ery night about one and lay sleepless
for some hours, he concluded that he
was lying in bed longer than nature
demanded. He determined, therefore,
to rise an hour earlier than usual.
Rising at seven, he found himself still
waking in the night.jro the next morn
ing rose at six and the next at five.
Still there was the wakeful Interval,
though a shorter one. The fourth
morning he rose at four. That night
liis sleep was unbroken, and at four
he continued to rise every morning.
“By the same experiment,” he sug
gested, “rising earlier and earlier ev
ery morning, anyone may find out how
much sleep he really wants.”
Why Window* “Sweat.”
The sweating of windows is due to
Imperfect ventilation, and if perfect
ventilation could be obtained it would
probably give the most effective re
sults. In many cases openings are
made in the gash, top and bottom, so
that a current of cold air may cover
the interior side of the gluss. In
gome instances, where the sweating of
windows is not bad, 53 grams of gly
cerin is dissolved in 1 liter of alcohol
(63 per cent), to which a little amber
nil Is added. As soon as It Is thor
oughly mixed, It may be rubbed on
the Inside surface of the window with
a chamois or linen rag. A thin coat
of pure glycerin applied to both sides
of the glass will prevent moisture.
Why “Wild Gooie Cha*e.”
A phrase with nn interesting history
Is “a wild goose chase." The term was
first used to describe a kind of horse
racing which resembled the follow*
my-Jender flight peculiar to wild geese.
Two horses would rur a hundred and
twenty yards; then the Jockey who
had the lead was at liberty to take
whatever ground ho pleased, the other
being- bound to follow- within a speci
fied distance or else be whipped-in
by Judges who rode by; the passing
and repassing of one another went on
until one horse fell out through sheer
exhaustion, thus giving the ot ‘ pr
equally overdriven nnirnal a final .ea
Why the Term “In Clover.”
A person is said to be In clover when
tie is lucky, in prosperous circum
stances or In a good situation, iho
phrnso alludes to cattle feeding In
clover fields, the best kind of pasture
imaginable.
Why Captain 1* “Skipper.”
The term “skipper” as applied to
the captain of a vessel is derived
from the Dutch, who calls a ship a
“schlp," and the chief “schipnian” ot
sailor, the “schipper*

Timely Suggestions) Poison 801 l
Weevils Now
If you aplied pre-square applica
tions of poison to cotton to control
boll weevils, then well and good.
If you did not poison early, as I
think you should, then the next best
time to poison is NOW.
Apply calcium arsenate as dust
at rate of about 4 or 5 pounds per
acre. Liquid mixture made by
mixing thoroughly together—one
gallon thick syrup or blackstrap mo
lasses, two gallons water, two
pounds calcium arsenate. Apply
with mop on end of stick, and put
this mixture against main stem
near top and on bud of cotton.
Make three or four applications
now of either of above, and at in
tervals of four to six days apart.
Yes, if rains enough to wash poison
off of cotton, then repeat applica
tion the next day.
Pick up squares once each week
NOW, and for next three weeks,
just ahead of the.plow\
Pick up the squares from ground,
and those that are affected from
off of the cotton plants each week
for next three weeks, whether you
use poison or not.
Gardens
Yes, the early gardens have been
good. Plant vegetables all along
through the summer and early
fall, and have a good garden all the
time. If can, plant a late garden
in a low place, so if it is dry will
likely make very good crop, any
way. Garden vegetables are not
only the most economical food man
may produce, but at the same time
they are the most healthful when
properly prepared.
When laying-by your early corn,
do not forget, “For The Land’s
Sake,” sow every acre in cow peas.
Keep this practice up, and your
land will become productive, and
then you can make a profit on your
crops. No one can make profits on
POOR LAND unless prices are ab
normally high. Sow every acre not
in cultivation in cow peas for soil
building, or hay.

MR. HODGSON AND HIS PUPILS
DELIGHT AUDIENCE AT EMORY
The regular Thursday evening
concert at Emory University, a fea
ture of the summer school, given
under the direction of Mr. Hugh
Hodgson, distinguished musician and
head of the music department of the
summer school, attracted a laigo
audience of music lovers Thursday
evening in Glenn Memorial Hall.
Mr. Hodgson opened the program,
playing, with his inimitable style
and fine artistic taste, giving a
dramatic interpretation of Beet
hoven’s entire “Pathetique Sonata.”
This was followed by Rameau’s
“Tambourine,” Scarlatti’s “Pastor
ale” and “Etude,” and Daquin’s
“Cuckoo,” examples of the writing
of the earlier classicists, charming-
ly rendered.
Mr. Francis Mitchell played the
first movement of Beethoven s
“Waldstein Sonata” with authority,
musicianly insight and dramatic
power. Mr. Tom Brumby played
two Beethoven numbers, ‘‘Ecos
saise” and “Turkish March,” with
brilliance and clarity and a fine
command of both context and exe
cution. Miss Mozelle Horton gave
a fine interpretation of Beethovens
“Funeral March,” from the A
major sonata, portraying the dig
nified, solemn and heroic resignation
to fate with fine tonal depth A
novel and interesting feature o
program was the performance of
the “Thirty-Two Variations, ly
Beethoven, by a group of eight pr -
ists, alternating in turns at the two
_ . cive a finished per-
Steinways, to give a
forniance of this gigant.c work for
piano. Those playing the variations
w cre Mr. Hugh Hodgson, Miss. Irene
Leftwich, Mrs. Edward Van Winkle,
Jr Miss Mozelle Horton, Mr. Wag
goner Alexander, Mr. Franeis Mitch
ell, Mr. Mike MacDowell and Mr.
Tom Brumby.
A fitting climax to the program
was the brilliant and exquisite per
formance of the first movement of
the “Concerto in C Minor,” Beet
hoven, given by Mr. Hodgson, with
Miss Leftwich adequately furnish
ing the orchestral score at the sec
ond piano. In this work, Mr. Hodg
son , reached 'pianistic heights that
literally carried his audience away
in rapturous delight, and in the
difficult cadenza, written by Mos
cheles, there could be no mistaking
Mr. Hodgson’s skill as a technician
nor his finesse as a musician of a
rare order.—Atlanta Constitution.

CANDIDATES GET TOLD
-7
The Bainbridge Post Searchlight
thus remarks about the present crop
of candidates for state offices:
“This is the durndest bfokest set
of candidates that ever cursed the
state or abused the newspapers. We
get a cotton baskt full of their stuff
every week, and fill the waste bas
ket full. One sent in a six column
statement asking that it be run free
with his picture. We would give no
man six columns of space about
anything, or any news item that
long was ever put in this paper. We
did not use but one column when
the choicest scandal blew about—
fellow ran away with neighbor's
wife—and we used only one column.
Wonder if the candidates ask the
merchants for free goods when they
go in a store. Some day the fool
weekly will learn some sense.”
When making salads, be sure
that all the ingredients have been
thorougly chilled.
