DELICIOUS CORN MUFFINS.
Here’s an old fashioned recipe for
corn muffins that has recently been
revived and used with unusual success
in several of the larger New York ho
tels: To make three and a half dozen
muffins take one quart milk, six ounces
butter substitute, twelve ounces of
light syrup or honey, four eggs, pinch
of salt, two ounces baking powder,
one and a. half pounds cornmeal and
one and a half pounds rye flour. The
butter and syrup should be thoroughly
mixed; then add the eggs gradually.
Pour In the milk and add the rye flour
mixed with cornmeal and baking pow

FOOD FNRItEB
TO BECLOSED UP
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 28.—There will
be no food sold in Atlanta at prices
in excess of those fixed by the food
administration. Any citizen who has
paid excess prices for food since the
administration prices went into effect,
can have his money refunded at once
,by proving his case. Any merchant
who charges excess prices in the fu
ture does so at the peril of having his
store closed within twelve hours.
That is the sum and substance of a
statement issued by Jones H. Ewing,
'food administrator for Fulton county,
Saturday afternoon. Mr. Ewing wants
to put the merchants on notice that
no quibbling about the prices will be
tolerated. He wants to advise the
public to keep up with the prices as
published in the daily newspapers, so
that they can cooperate with him in
bringing the violators to time, if there
be any
“The act of August 10, 1917, known
as the food bill, prohibits the charg
ing of excess profits for food stuffs
and provides certain penalties for
violation of said act,” sted Mr. Ew
ing. “In Fulton county the merchants
have selected a committee to repre
sent them in the interpretation of what
constitutes reasonable prices. The
committee is composed of five citi
zens and five merchants, and we feel
that so far the arrangement has been
admirable and prices fixed fair, both
to the merchants and the public. Pub
lication of these prices is made in the
.Atlanta papers daily, so that the pub
lic can keep up with them exactly and
know immediately if any merchant at
tempts to charge them more than he
is allowed to charge.
“I want to advise all concerned that
any charge in excess of the maximum
prices quoted will be considered an
open violation of the rules of the food
administration, and the violators may
expect the penalty applied without
fear or favor. All wholesale mer
chants, as is generally known, must
have government licenses to do busi
ness. Where a violation is reported,
I have only to notify all wholesalers
t’rat they cannot sell to that particular
retailer in order to knock that retailer
out of business in twelve hours, in
this matter I have no option, as a
failure to enforce the law would be in
violation of the oath of office to which
I have subscribed.”
