Why a watermelon contains so
many seeds has always been a
puzzling question during melon
season. It may be answered
through experiments tending to
show that an extract from the
seed offers relief for some cases
of high blood pressure. The dis
covery is attributed to Dr. I. S.
Barksdale, an Eastern physician,
by two California university pro
ses ors who have been using the
extract in treating a group of
patients at the clinic of the uni
versity. They have found, re
ports state, that it immediately
lowers blood pressure and will
continue to do so if the treatment
is continued, though the best
results were said to have been
Obtained in younger patients.

THE USEFUL WAFFLE
When In doubt, have waffles. The
ingredients are staples on hand in ev
ery household. The uses of the waf
fle run the course of breakfast,
lunch, the impromptu tea party, din
ner or supper. There is no food more
adapatable. none more variable in its
uses, none quicker and easier of pro
duction, than the waffle.
The breakfast waffle is never west
cd Capacity reached, the batter that
is left can be put away in the
refrigerator, and used again nt lunch
or nt the light supper in the evening
and. still better, at the impromptu
afternoon tea.
Breakfast waffles are served with
butter and sugar, or butter and sirup,
with bacon or will) sausage, depend
ing on the likes and dislikes of the
waffle-fed family. There are varieties
In even the breakfast use of the use
ful waffle.
For lunch or the impromptu after
noon collation, jam or jelly or mar
malade can be used Instead of butter,
and for creamed chicken or sea food,
the waffle makes an ideal base nt
-1 supper time. The useful waffle is
adaptable to any circumstance or to
any taste.
With self-rising flour the success of
the waffle batter is never left to
chance. There is no waste. Self-ris
ing flour is economical of both time
and expense, as can readily be seen
by the following recipe:

In Momory of Mrs. Elizabeth
’ Padgett Nash
At 12:35 A.M., on the 9th day
of November, 1929, God said to
the above named wife of L. O.
Nash that she must come “up
higher” and with a smile on her
face and with a lighted expres
sion she bade her loved ones
“good by,” told them she was
ready to go and for them to meet
her in Heaven. She left a heart
broken husband, a good and true
mother, Mrs. Myra Padgett, and
three brothers and two sisters.
Her suffering was great prior
to her passing away, but she
bore the same with a smile on
her face and an assurance that
she knew she was going to a
place where there is no more
sickness, no more death, no more
parting, but all is peace and sweet
contentment in the “glory land.”
In early life she joined the M.
E. Church at Shiloh and remain
ed a true and faithful member
till the time of her death. In her
early teens she married L. O.
Nash and was to him one of the
best wives ever and never at any
time did anything but her full
duty.
She died at her home in Macon,
but the body was brought to
Alamo and her funeral wa«
preached in the M. E. Churth
here by Brothers Gardner and
Kelley amidst a large congrega
tion of sorrowing friends and a
host of relatives. The abundance
of flowers, the many presents
and the sorrowing crowd evi
denced her real popularity. She
was buried in the Alamo ceme
,, ry where she will sleep till the
resurrection morn, when she will
be among the angels in the home
of the redeemed to praise our
Saviour forever and forever.
She was one of the most indus
trious, economical, honorable and
kind hearted women ever known
and possessed a quartette of vir
tue s that will never be improved
upon. She moved around in life
like music that charms forever
and forever, and she will be a
member of the choir in Heaven
in God’s own appointed time.
Her life was full of sweetness
like the Empress Josephine, who
conquered hearts while General
Napoleon conquered provinces.
The same is true of this good
woman, as she conquered every
heart w'ith whom she came in
contack; and if there are any
degrees in Heaven, which I think
is untrue, she will occupy a high
place by her sweetness of life,
her purity of manner, her gent
leness and meekness and the
delightfulness of her angelic
bearing.
The world did not wait to place
bouquets on her when in death,
but in life she was generally
loved, and if she had an enemy
in the world no one ever knew of
the same. She. lived like Caesar’s
wife, “above suspicion” and her
place will never be filled. Os
course, we must all emulate her
many virtues and try to so
live that we will meet her in
Heaven. Such lives never die,
they live on and on till time shall
be no more.
A great writer said that “A
more perfect race means a more
soulful race, a more soulful race
( a race having greater capacity
for love” and such is true of this
good woman as she loved every
one and wanted every one saved
and begged her loved ones to
J meet her in Heaven. Such love
-and such lives will shine on
' through all eternity and a bless
i ing to all mankind.
. ' From one who loved her.

Fruits For Winter
A
iFniitSr
KU a
54 LL summer we’ve had plenty
£\of sun-kissed vitamins in both
the fresh and canned fruits that
we’ve eaten. But now that winter
has come we have to depend to a
large extent on the latter, as not
everyone can afford fresh fruits
shipped long distances from sunnier
climes. Fortunately, the canned
fruits are picked at jhe moment of
prime ripeness and rushed to the
canneries where all of their natural
goodness, their vitamins and mineral
salts are sealed in.
Winter Orchard*
The fruits that are now processed
in cans amount practically to
a series of winter orchards for the
multitude and you can have all the
berries beside, and also fruits from
foreign shores. You can get all
sorts of apples, of course, in cans
(apples whole, sliced, sauce, butter
and baked), blackberries, blue
berries, cherries (white, red and

After all had arrived they were
invited out on the lawn, where a
huge bonfire of yule logs burned
merrily.. Qunantities of fire
works of all kinds were enjoyed
by everyone.
At a late hour the guests re

were served delightful refresh
ments by the hostess, Miss Pope,
she being assisted in entertain
