The pliil<r.ph.r wiio <lo.' the "Tip of the Tongue" eoltimn for the New York Press, who has lived In lhe South ami therefore knows what good, whobsom healthful eating Is. bewails the fact that the "rial thing" In meal and hominy Is h-rdly to lie had In New York city. ||* says: "In all New York there 1* hardly a dealer who knows what good rarnnieal and g,el hominy mean. Thu wor hb-ss stuff they sell Is a kind of veg, ta > e sand. The life of the cereal is killed ly quick grinding, or rolling and kiln dry ing. Habitual users of laiminy and meal itniurt such luxuries from the old-time water-mills of <hc South, and obtain loth uu lotted anil undried. A tiozn different brands of hominy are sold h.-re In .no and two-pound package*, fan.-lly braid rtl m colors and cheerfully labeled, liut m.e-t of It is mere mush when lolled." Here, then, is at least one optortunHy for the young man Absalom, concerning whose future Mr Bryan was recently in much fear. The young man, or the young men, who have the business ability to supply the North, or the country, or any part of either, with the oM-fashioned wa ter-ground meal and hominy, muy reason ably expect to win a Daewoo. It may ba ncJessary to teach the Northerner* to tat the delightful stretiglh-glving. invig orating corn product; but have they no: taught us to eat at fancy prices their rolled oats and their various wheateo "breakfast foods?"

Miss Bertha Hopkins, learad 32,100 last year on a little waler t-.wer corn mill, from which ehc suiqvlcl a number of customers with moil and hominy. The meal from Mtss Hopkins mill v*a> from naturally cured corn, and contained all of the Ingredient* of the kernel. There was no bolting to remove tho phosphates, and no kiln-drying to kill the life-giving properties of the gran. And In the grinding the slow-moving nt.il stones did not be n the meal, as 1* always Ihe case In the swiftly revolving mill stones of the steam mills of Ihe West, whence New York gets Its "pearl *r.s" and "pearl mral." Orw tr New York and Ihe North got a taste of the real, unimpoverished.
