Thou rulest the raging of the sea; when the waves thereof
arise, thou stillest them. Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as
one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy
strong arm. The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine; as for
the world and the fullness thereof, thou hast founded them.—
Psalm LXXXIX.
A New York man was so anxious to read the much publicized
“Gone With The Wind” that he stole a copy. Unfortunately he
was arrested before finishing the book and had to serve a sentence
of ten days for the theft. He also had to give up the book . . .
and he had not completed reading it. So he again stole a copy
and was again caught and punished.
The Seminole Indians of Florida must have furnished a show
to the indifferent New Yorkers as they squatted in a circle on the
marble floor of the Pennsylvania Railroad Station and had their
breakfast of coffee and bread. There were thirty-seven in this
group on their way to the world’s fair and the many visitors to the
Everglades in recent years have made the Indians perhaps in
different to stares.
The Florida State Legislature is now in session. Last week
the Senate approved and house passed a bill which is designed
to protect elderly men of wealth from fortune hunting women
who marry them for their money. They were also going to vote
on a bill to outlaw breach of promise and alienation of affection
cases. The men in Florida are looking out for both the old ones
and the young ones.
Washington, The Father of Our Country in his farewell ad
dress, warned the people against entangling foreign alliances.
And yet a few days ago, from several reliable sources came the
report that a submarine had been seen on the Canadian coast.
This submarine was necessarily of foreign origin . . . While it ap
peared a threat at Canada, it could also happen to us. Then too,
dynamite is found dangerously near the border and where it could
be used to cut off transportation between the U. S. and Canada.
On January 30th the people of the United States celebrated
the birthday of our president. All over the nation entertainments
for raising funds for research work in infantile paralysis were
given. The work done will not only benefit sufferers in this
country, but will be for all mankind who suffer from this dread
affliction. Last week the people of Germany celebrated the birth
day of Herr Hitler. The celebration was obviously of his plan
ning and was a display of military power designed to frighten a
continent already living day by day in suspense of war with all
terrors.
Achievements of the F. S. A. in Georgia were recited recently
over radio. About 20,000 families in Georgia are being aided
this year. In 1935 there were 12,000 whose net worth has in
creased. from $35 to over $400.00. The government is giving them
the opportunity and the success depends entirely on the efforts
of the families and individuals concerned. The plan of the F. S. A.
is a “Live at Home Program,” and supervisors aid in carrying
out the plans. Many people will succeed with their efforts directed
by capable supervisors as so many people are unable to direct their
efforts in the right direction and wind up with a waste of time
and nothing to show for it.

"That Reminds Me. I’ve Got to Go to the Dentist!”
Betty Barclay’s Food Facts
No. 2 The Lima Bean
As these features appear, clip and file for future
use. Each story deals with a different food.
Each statement a fact Each recipe a tested tasty.
Before preparing these para
graphs I opened "Telling Fortunes
With Foods" and found the dried
Uma bean listed as having 41.65
degrees of alkalinity per 100 grams
— almost twice as high as its
nearest competitor.
Picking up the United States
Department of Agriculture’s famous
Bulletin No. 28, 1 found this same
food listed as having an average
fuel value per pound of 1,625
calories—an extremely high rating.
These statements may be tech
nical, but should prove Interesting
to those seeking inexpensive
nourishing foods with a decided
alkaline reaction as balancers for
the necessary acid-reaction foods
that form such a large portion of
the diet Cooked dried Limas are
available anywhere in cans and
with cold weather coming, suck
foods should be stocked heavily.
Don’t be content with a plain
dish of Uma beans occasionally.
This food lends itself to soups,
salads and main-course dishes ot
various kinds. Here are two excep
tionally good recipes as samples:

Last Thursday afternoon was the
regular meeting day of the Patmos
Garden Club. It was our first meet
ing in which we were able to really
get plans laid out and any real gar
den work begun. The meeting was
opened by President, Mrs. Mary Ad
ams, followed by Secretary, Mrs. Ollie
Wiley’s minutes, and Treasurer’s re
port.
New business consisted of the adop
tion of a Question Box which we hope
to make a main feature of the club.
Each member to bring a written ques
tion to be placed in box. At close
of meeting each draws out a question
which is carried home and an answer
brought back in writing by the next
meeting.

IN 1932 (last year before fr
repeal) BEER’S TAXES
WERE PRACTICALLY NOTHING!
*Dofa from Head Commiwioner i Office, license
fees included.
Beer helps even those who do not drink it! To
the tune of a million dollars a day nation-wide,
beer tax revenue reaches back into every com
munity, to help pay for relief, for public works,
for education... and to lift a burden that would
otherwise rest directly On the taxpayers.
To this, add a million new jobs made by beer.
And a 100 million dollar farm market.
How can we keep these benefits... for you and
BEER...a beverage of moderation

HINTS FOR THE HOMEMAKER
TO KEEP
NUT MEATS
We find that nut meats stored in a
covered glass container, placed in the
refrigerator or as cold a place as pos
sible, keep over the longest period of
time. This is probably due to the
fact that the temperature checks de
terioration of the fat in the nut meats.

TO PREVENT MOLD
ON JELLY
First check your recipe as to the
proportion of sugar. If the amount
of sugar is too low, it will mold more
easily. It will also ferment more
readily. Glasses should be sterile, and
when the jelly is poured .they should
be dry and hot. Immediate sealing
with melted paraffin is another pre
caution to prevent mold.

for us ? Brewers of America realize this depends
on keeping beer retailing as wholesome as beer
itself. They want to help public officials in every
possible way. They cannot enforce laws. But
they can— and will —cooperate!
