Lenten Dishes That
SCALLOPED SWEET
POTATOES
Eggs play a very important part
in the menu during this season, but
however beneficial they may be,
the family is apt to get tired of
them if served in Just one or two
ways all the time. Housewives—
and the family—will welcome the
following wholesome and delicious
dish:
Cook six large sweet potatoes un
til done and then cool, peel and
Bllce them. Butter an enameled
ware baking dish, fill with a layer
of sweet potatoes, a layer of sliced
hard-boiled eggs and another layer
of sweet potatoes Cover with one
pint of white sauce. Sprinkle the
top with buttered cracker crumbs
and place in a hot oven to brown.
Serve hot from the china-like
dish in which it is baked.
FISH—FOR HEALTH ANE
APPETITE
Although fish is really a valuable
article of food, it is sadly neglected
in the dietary of the avere.ge home.
It la not easy to give a sensible
reason for this' because fish ts
known to be satisfying and health
ful. But whatever mysterious pre
judices there may be. the advan
tages of fish are sufficiently potent
to outweigh them.
Many housewives are averse to
cooking fresh fish because it is dif
ficult to prepare and serve it in
tact. and also because of the odor
which adheres to most utensils
used in its preparation. Enameled
ware which ts impervious to food
odors and is easily cleaned, is most
adaptable for its preparation.
Fish baked In an enameled ware
pan and basted occasionally with a
mixture of water, butter and sea
soning. can be served from the pan
in which it is baked without hesi
tancy. Cod. halibut, mackerel and
haddock are excellent baked in this
way and served with lemon Juice,
pickled beets, cold slaw or some
thing equally pungent In flavor.
For boiling fish, the small oval
enameled ware boiler which is
equipped with a removable tray
will be found most satisfactory, be
cause it is easy to transfer the fish
from the tray to a platter
If cooked in salted acidulated
water—that is water to which lem
on Juice or vinegar is added —the
fish need not be wrapped in cheese
cloth. The acid of either the lemon
or vinegar will not interact with
the enameled surface of the utanqtf
in any way. and the fish w«w Vet
oniy be «*-# V»der.

THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE
CHEESE FOPTDU
Cheese, which is the concentrated
curd of milk, has been known as a
healthful, nourishing food from
early historical times, and is still
used by even the most primitive
people as a staple article of diet
Owing to its compact form, •
i very little—even a few gratings
or a small cube—has exceedingly
high food value. For this reason
this nutritious food, which comes
in many forms, should be served
occasionally during the Lenten sea
son.
Os course, some cheeses should
never be cooked, but those which
can should be melted only at a low
temperature so that the albumen
will not harden and become rub
bery and, naturally, more indi
gestible.
The following, although simple,
is an adequate main dish which
offers a welcome change at this
season for the housewife and her
family.
Melt one tablespoonful butter in
an enameled ware doubli boiler,
add one cupful of soft bread
crumbs, one cupful of milk and
one-quarter of a pound finely cut
American cheese. When the cheepe
is melted, add one-quarter teh
spoonful salt, a dash of pepper,
one-half teaspoonful of dry mus
tard and one egg. well beaten.
Cut strips of bread one inch wide
i and stand up around the inside of
. a well-buttered enameled ware bak
. ing dish. Pour In the cheese mlx
■ ture and place in a hot oven to
i brown the bread fingers.

WORK OF PRESBYTERIANS
IN NORTH CAROLINA
This Month is the Last in the Church
Year of This Denomination.
Leaksvilia, March 12. —This month
is the last in the church year of the
Southern Presbyterian Church and
churches all over the synod of North
Carolina have been engaged for the
past weeks in planning for the new ]
year to begin April Ist.
Tlie most extensive preparations in!
the way of group conferences has been
made this spring than ever before
-under the leadership of J. R. Spill
man. of Charlotte, the synodical sec
retary of stewardship, who is just j
finishing up about sixty conferences
that he has.attended personally in the !
last two months and a half. , j
The purpose of these conferences
which have been placed within reach
of practically all of the churches in
the nine Presbyteries of the synod
was to bring the people of the church
es to face the needs of the church as
represented by the budget of $850,-
000 adopted by the synod and Presby
teries.
This amount represents the share i
of this synod in the benevolent work I
of the church as a whole which has I
a goal of $4,750,000. It includes all j
causes within the bounds of the synod
such ns the Orphans’ Home at Bn- I
rium Springs, the support of ten ed- j
ueational institutions, the work of ;
the synod’s home missions employing 1
for whole or part support about sev- |
enty-five workers as well as the local i
work in each of the nine Presby- |
terles.
This amount represents an asking |
of sl2 per capita from the member
bership of the church, although it
does not represent the giving capac
ity--of this church for in addition to
tfiadr benevolent gifts they gave last
year about $1,400,000 to the support
of the current expenses of the vari
ous congregations.
Following the direction of the gen
eral assembly of the whole church
many congregations are planning to j
use the afternoon of March 21st for j
rhe annual every member canvass.
The (hiecess of this canvass will iudi-1
cate the extent to which the church
ns a whole will continue their exten
sive work both at home and abroad.
The latest compiled statistics of
the, Presbyterian Church in this
synod show 73.213 members in 530
churches scattered through tho nine
Presbyteries. There are 292 minis
ters serving these churches and the
total Sunday school enrollment is
(14,467.
The pereapitn gifts of this church
were exceeded last year by only one
nth'er denomination in the United
Staten. At the same time it has been
estimated conservatively that the an
imal income of the Presbyterians in
North Carolina is considerably over
$100,000,000. These figures would
indicate that the needs of the church
for the coming year will be very much
less than 5 per cent, of the income
of her members.
Highway Controversy About to Be
Settled.
Charlotte, March 15.—Recent de
velopments at conferences between
representatives of the State high
way commission, Catawba county
and the town of Newton forecast an
* a rly settlement of the long drawn
out contdoversy over the selection of
■ a route for a paved highway through
that county. According to announce
ment Thursday by W. C. Wilkinson,
of Charlotte, sixth district highway
commissioner, five possible routes for
this proposed important link of
highway were considered. The
original proposal of the State was
for a routing that would pass two
miles from Newton. Frank Page, of
! Raleigh, chairman of the highway
| <>>mmJssion, suggested several months
I ago a routing that will pass through
North Newton.

ed debt less sink'ng fund assets) bf

700.542, or $127.44 per capita. In
1024 the per capita debt was $00,119,
land in 1018. $51.44.
The increase in net debt reported j
for 1025 over that for 1024 was due |
to bond issues amounting to over $2,-' j
000,000, for schools, city balls, sew- |
ers, and waterworks. i
Assessed Valuations and Tax Levies. |
For 1025 the assessed valuation of |
property in Charlotte subject to ad I
valorem taxes for city corporation 11
was $103,883,015. The levy for all 11
purposes for 1025 was $2,202,320, of *
which $1,103,400, or 52.8 per cent.,
was levied for" the city corporation;
and $1,038,830, or 47.2 per cent, for
the county. The per rnp : ta levy for
the city, and county was $41.87. . In
North Carolina there is no levy of the

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
Multiple Disc-in-Oil Clutch—
The multiple disc clutch is generally conceded among
engineers to be the best, the smoothest, and* the most re- j
liable type for any car. The Ford multiple disc clutch, i
\ has the further advantage of operating in a bath of oil. !
This complete and continuous lubrication assures smooth,
silept action and extremely long life. The Ford clutch is
so simple and reliable that many Ftord owners have driv
en for years without being so much as conscious of its ;
presence in the mechanism of their cars.
