HOMEMAKERS
By AUNT SAWYER
Spirit Of Cooperation
A splendid spirit of co-operation
and patriotism has been exhibited
within recent weeks among house
wives in a colored community near
Brevard, their accomplishment dis
playing what can be done in the
war effort with united work. Mrs.
G. M. Hemphill, of the Glade
Creek section, a teacher in the
Transylvania county school system
and a housekeeper, purchased a
new pressure cooker but didn’t
know how to use it until she saw
it demonstrated by Miss Annabel
Teague, county home agent, a few
weeks ago. Since that time she
and her neighbors in that com
munity, who had the privilege of
using the cooker, have canned a
total of 190 quarts of vegetables
and fruits. Not one of the women
had ever used a pressure cooker
before, and they were delighted
with their fine array of canned
foods for winter use. Mrs. Hemp
hill also loaned her cooker to sev
eral white women who used it
with good results.
First Quiz Lesson
Since everybody else is having
quiz tests, why don’t we start one,
too? So, just as a starter, here
goes the first lesson: 1. Who was
the first English child born on
American soil? 2. What was the
year of the big Chicago fire, and
what is the only building now
standing that survived the fire?
3. Is Chevy Chase the name of a
Spanish castle, a race horse, or a
celebrated British ballad? 4. Who
was Fannie Crosby? 5. Is Chloro
phyll a cleaning fluid, the name
of a patent medicine or the green

coloring matter in plants? 6. Is
Quebec the capital of Canada, or
an important city in the U. S.?
Now, don’t peek at the answers
until you’ve tested your memory
skill.
Household Hints
If you don’t care for highly
seasoned soup or stew, use a tea
ball, put the flavorings in the ball
and hold in the soup or stew long
enough to get the desired flavor,
then remove. Mineral oil may be
used to keep the iron kitchen uten
sils from rusting when not in use.
Before you put them away, clean
them thoroughly, then rub lightly
with oil. If you want to make a
cord stay tightly tied, moisten the
cord a little before you tie it. An
oil rub helps to improve the ap
pearance of varnished wood sur
faces which have developed a
milky film. Always store an open
ed can of condensed or evaporated
milk in the refrigerator.
Your Horoscope
Are you a horoscope believer?
If you were born any time be
tween August 24 and September
23, here’s what the wise astrolo
gers say will be your personality
and temperament. Examine your
self and see if it fits you, if you
were born between these dates.
You are an independent thinker
and have great reasoning powers
with a natural aptitude for busi
ness. Your inborn qualifications
fit you for head of a big business
or industry and you have a faculty
for creating harmony and coopera
tion. You are just, honest, high
minded and despise trickery and
hypocrisy, but at times are ag
gressive and dominating. You are
a lover of music and long for
beauty and order but are not fond
of display.
Here’s The Answers
1. Virginia Dare. 2. October,
1871, and the water tower pump
ing station is the only building
now standing. 3. British ballad.
4. American hymn writer. 5. Green
coloring matter in plants. 6. Nei
ther one—Ottawa is the capital.
Bobby’s Holiday Headache
Mrs. Loftis—“Goode, I think we
had better call Dr. Lynch. Bobby
complains of a severe pain in his
head.”
Mr. Loftis—“Oh, pshaw! He’s
had that so often before.”
Mrs. Loftis—“Yes, but never on
a day when school’s not in session.”

Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
The carrot is an all-purpose
vegetable. It can be used in stews,
pot roasts, soups, and chowders.
It goes into vegetable loaves, into
sandwiches, and into salads.
Raw carrot is one of the best
salad joiners. You can shred the
carrots or cut them—in slender
sticks, in thin round slices, or in
cubes.
Shredded carrots and cabbage
make a simple salad that’s in season
throughout the year. Use a salad
dressing to hold the vegetables
together. You may add ground
peanuts for variety. Shredded car
rot in a molded gelatine salad is
a great favorite, especially if you
use a fruit—perhaps home canned
peaches, or oranges, when they
are in season.
For sandwiches with crunch
and flavor, use grated carrot with
chopped raisins, prunes, home
dried peaches or apples and salad
dressing. Or, just use creamed but
ter with carrots chopped fine.
Cooked carrots brighten any din
| uer plate. Use the carrots by
themselves. Boil them with the
outside leaves of celery. This
makes a mighty good dish and
so does cheese sauce poured over
cooked carrots.
It's easy to cook carrots, be
cause the color stays bright with
out any special care on your part,
and the vitamin A value remains
intact at ordinary cooking tem
peratures. Cook carrots in as little
water as possible and serve this
liquid with the cooked carrots.
Sliced carrots should be cooked
for only 10 or 15 minutes. If you
have tiny young carrots, you may
wish to boil them whole, and this
takes about 5 minutes longer.
When you have an oven meal,
you can bake carrots in a casse
role with just a little water added.
Carrots rate high with nutri
tionists.

(From the file of June, 1906>
S. L. Earle, of Jacksonville, Fla.,
owner of the old M. J. Orr place,
has been in Brevard several days
looking after his business interests
here.
C. M. Doyle, the produce man,
has moved from the little building
above Joe Clayton’s to the Walker
McGaha store room below Orr’s
livery barn. He invites you to call
and see him in his new quarters.
Messrs L. B. Houston and J. W.
McMinn left town on Wednesday
morning about 9:30 and returned
that afternoon from Cathey’s Creek
with a string of 42 trout, none
under nine inches long.
If every person who is in favor
of having mail on all of our trains
will make it a personal matter and
write a letter to Chas. M. Vickery,
in Washington, D. C., then we will
soon have them. We are badly in
need of an evening mail service
up and a morning mail down on
the railroad. One mail a day each
way is not satisfactory to our home
people or the visitors. If we can
not have another postal clerk on
the train they might give us a
pouch service from Hendersonville.
Word has been received from
Asheville that Forsey Hamilton,
the 16-year-old son of M. L. Hamil
ton, was almost instantly killed by
a Southern train at a rock quarry
near Asheville Wednesday after
noon. He was employed to carry
steel at the quarry and when cross
ing the tracks was struck by the
train. His neck was broken, skull
crushed and his death was almost
instantaneous.
Brevard was represented at the
Bankers association at Lake Tox
away Wednesday by Rev. and Mrs.
P. G. Elsom, Mr. and Mrs. Thos.
H. Shipman, Mr. and Mrs. W. H
Duckworth, W. P. Whitmire, W. P.
Weilt and Welch Galloway. All
reported that North Carolina bank
ers know how to entertain.
Mrs. W. L. Norwood, of Chapel
Hill, who has rented the Thos. L.
Walters cottage, corner of Broad
and Jordan streets, arrived Tues
day night and is now permanently
located in her new home. She was
a Brevard visitor last summer and
took a liking to our town, which
has resulted in her locating here.
Miss Nina Morgan, a charming
young lady of Landrum, S. C., is
visiting her sister, Mrs. P. G.
Morris, and brother, C. W. Mofgan.
And they do say that the address
of welcome by Welch Galloway
was almost without parallel in the
annals of speech making. His ef
fort certainly brought credit to
himself and our town.
The many friends of Misses Ida
and Fanny Sitton will be sorry to
learn of the death of their father,
Samuel Sitton, which occurred at
his home near Greenville on Fri
day of last week.
Ralph Henry, son of Patrick
Henry, who has been living with
Lawrence Ashworth, died June 14,
after a lingering illness, age 13
years. Funeral was conducted by
Rev. T. C. Holtzclaw.
When your doctor asks where you
prefer to have your prescription
filled, say: VARNER’S, because:
Filled only by registered pharma
cist; as written and at reasonable
prices. (Advt.) tfc
