J!' , . !. MANY WAYS TO USE CORN MEAL Federal Experts Work Out Number of Receipts for Various Appetizing Dishes Made From Corn Meal. Washington, F'eb. 14. The depart ment of agriculture's experts in nu trition have been studying the pos sible uses of corn meal, which they have figured makes up more than S per cent, of the total food consumed by the people of the United States. They give several dozen receipts that may call to mind old favorites and suggest to the housewife untried dishes appetizing both and nutritious. Some of these date back to the abo riginese of the soil. One of them is as follows: Zuni Corn Bread. One cup white corn meal, one cup yellow corn meal, one cup water, one teaspoon salt, one eifhth teaspoon cayenne, one cup chopped suet. Mix all well together; form into rolls about five inches long; roll in greased paper and bake in a moderate oven one hour. Serve hot. The habit among the Indians was to roll these cakes in the .husks of the corn, a method which is sometimes followed by campers. Other Simple Breads. There are other simple breads, which were first made by the Indians and are very old types, closely resem bling the breads of other primitive people. Though easy to prepare they are very palatable. Two of these are "ash cake" and hoe cake." Ash Cake One quart corn meal, two teaspoons salt, one tablespoon lard or other shortening, boiling wa ter. Scald the meal; add the salt and shortening, and when the mixture is cool form it into oblong cakes, adding more water if necessary. Wrap the cakes in cabbage leaves or place this cakes in one cabbage leaf with another on top and cover them with hot ashes. . . Hoe Cake Hoa cakes are made out of corn meal, water and salt. They were originally baked before an open fire on one board, which for con venience had a long handle attached to it. At present they are cooked slow ly and on both sides on a well greased griddle. Certain dishes made of indian corn have become identified with certain localities and thus we have receipts bearing the names of those localities. For instance there is South Carolina corn bread. South Carolina Corn Bread One and one-half quarts fine corn meal and two and one half quarts wheat flour, or two and one-half quarts fine corn meal, one and one-half quarts flour, with two teaspoons salt, one pint mashed sweet potatoes, one cake yeast. Mix one pint each of the corn meal with the flour and add warm water enough to make a stiff batter. Add the yeast cake, mixed with a small amount of water Keep this sponge in a warm place until it becomes light. Scald the meal with boiling water and as soon as it is cool enough add it to the sponge. Boston Brown Bread. Boston Brown Bread: One cup corn meal, one cup rye meal, one cup graham flour, two and one-half tea spoonsful soda, one teaspoon salt, three-fourths cup o f mo molasses and milk. Beat thorough three quarters cups sweet milk. Mix and sift dry ingredients and add the mollasses and milk. Beat thorough ly and steam three and one-half hours in well buttered covered molds. Re move the covers and bake the bread long enough to dry the top. This may also be made with one and one half cups corn meal and rye meal and no graham flour. Boston Brown Bread With Fruit. Follow receipt for Boston brown bread, adding to the dry ingredients a cup of seeded and shredded raisins, or prunes or a cup of Zante currants Boston Brown Bread With Cream. One cup rye meal, one cup corn meal, one teaspoonful salt, one-half cup molasses, two eggs, one and one half cups thin cream. Sift the dry in gredients. Add molasses, yolks of of eggs well beaten, and cream; last ly fold in the whites of eggs beaten stiff. Pour mixture into buttered mold, steam three hours, then bake one hour in a moderate oven. .it Itlay's Contribution. Italy has also contributed to the list of palatable dishes which may be. evolved from corn monl. in in stinctive attempt on the part of Ital ians to suppiy me Doay, Dy means of one dish, with the food elements re quired, has resulted in "Polenta."

The Social Service Workers at Raleigh The Social Service meeting which convened in Raleigh beginning last Thursday and closing Saturday night ws held in the big auditorium at Raleigh Sunday afternca n. Pre3- dellt Graham, of the University of North Carolina, presiding.

Dr. Rice spoke on "The Church and the New ?ciai Hpe:" Jhe vjal relation of the church, the home, the schools, the state and the world of commerce and environment in such a way as to assure permanant saving force He told of the campaign the Federation ot the Churches of Christ is waeinff.

Western Enticement-How to Mtee It The Wautauga Democrat tells of the efforts of agents of Western mil- road lines to induce the discontented of that section to move West. The agents have been showine mnvine- picture views in Blowing Rock of "the immense orchards, the evten. sive farming, the flowers that luxu- nate there, the irrigation work and other attractions of farmintr in the West." The prospect as shown in the pictures is alluring to be sure. by rich landlords and not one acre couia oe Dougnt, even it a Wautaugan could land there with a reasonably well filled purse." It is further true as 1 he Democrat suggests, that "it would be an easy matter to tnaku pnoiograpns oi our own . mountain orcnaras ana iarms mat would excite the fruit growing world if brought oeiore on canvass." ine mountain section of North Carolina has the material for scenes, both farm and Nature, that will equal the best in the whole West, and on occasions in me past ine uoserver has advocated advertisement by moving picture as the best investment the State could make. North Carolina can match the West in the best the West has, and can beat it in many things. The jus.erver. Young and Old.

The Pistol-Carrying Habit. A Baptist preacher of Macon, Ga., was killed at his home by his own pistol, which fell from tiis pocket when he was stooping to caress his two-year-old child. He had put it in his pocket to keep it away from his children, the report says. Is it pos sible that no place could be found to hide a pistol? This seems incredi ble. The inference rather is that the pastor preferred to carry the pistol with him. In the whole sad circum stances there must be the fair criti cism of a man going armed. He may have felt it necessary to own a pitol for protection against burglars, but it indicates how lightly some things which once were regarded as funda mental, sit when a minister of the gospel goes armed. Possibly it is a relic of the time when a "gentleman," used to send worl to the other "gen tleman" with whom he had a quarrel that he would "shoot on sight." Per haps it is an aftermath of our Civil War, which made people from the merest children up familiar with fire arms of all sorts. At all events, American civilization today isdisa greed by the pistol carrying habit. In our great metropolis, one of the world's great cities, it results in gangs of "gunmen" who are hired to commit private murder a situation morally worse than that of biciuan banditti. In every city in the country and in the small towns some people carry pistols. If we should apply the belated railroad satety hrst to the pistol carrying habit. In our great ness we should follow an earnest search for those who go armed, start ling conditions would doubtless be discovered. In this connection Judge Deedy's rigidity in punishing viola tions is to be strongly commended. Persistence in it should do a great deal toward having a general compl ance with the law.
