BISCUITS FOR SUMMER
Really these biscuits are all-year
around biscuits but as this partic-
ular season they seem to be par-
ticularly enjoyable — especially
when served hot with a cold lunch-
eon or supper
LIVE-WIRE clubs all over the
country are busy these daya
giving benefits These bene-
fits stress the spirit of sharing
rather than the old time "charity"
spirit
Recently the Tourtat Club of
Deland Florida gave a "Canned
Shower" for the benefit of the
Benson Springs Orphanage and
each member of the club brought
canned foods to share with these
orphans
Give a "Canned Shower"
The hope has been expressed
that other organizations will fol-
low the plan of this Florida club
for two reasons First because
In many cases the appropriations
for orphanages have had to be re-
duced owing to the lack of funds
and second because this sort of
shower ii especially to ha recom-
mended (or orphanages la every
instltution whsre budgets havi to
LADIES FIRST
be closely watched variety in the
diet presents a problem Yet
children not only need a variety
of foods but they eagerly enjoy
surprises of any sort Strawber-
ries In winter fish when one liven
fur away from the water creamed
chicken when beet stew le usual
—these things make dinner a
real event in lives customarily
uneventful
The economy of canned foods
is another Important item The
fact that there is no waste of
time in preparing foods no Waste
of the foodB themselves when lb?y
come out of the can and no
waste in spoilage because the cans
are opened as they are ready for
use— these qualities make canned
foods especially desirable The
safety of using canned foods and
their high nutritional value has
beeu proved by scientific experi-
ment and vouched for by many
prominent physicians who recom-
inond their use
Pin Wheel Biscuits

gradually until soft dough is form-
ed Roll 1-4 inch thick on slightly

Cheese Biscuits
Who gets the first light? Thit
is the little problem in soci il
etiquette that puzzles many per-
sons who are otherwise sure nf
themselves in polite society Some
contend that the flame of a ligit
should be first used by the one
striking it others hold that all the
smoking members of the group
should have their "fags" lit before
the one holding the match or ligh-
ter The story of the proper etiqueite
in this case is the story of chang-
ing times In former days wh3n
matches were but twists of paper
coated with wax and tipped with
an igneous sulphur compound it
was the polite custom for the per-
son igniting it to first light his own
smoke thus taking unto himself
the malodorous smoke that Inevi-
ably arose
With the passing years however
as these old waxvestas gave place
to the modern lighter ad improved
match the custom has changed
All the members of a group now
receive the flame before the person
who is actually holding it And as
is true in other cases the female
smokers in a party precede their
masculine consorts

COLD MOCHA DRINKS

coffee is strongly brewed in the
proportion of two tablespoons of
coffee to the cup of water These
two recipes will give you delicious
concoctions for hot days and sultry
evenings

PBAS appear so often on our
family dinner menus that
most of us do not regard peas
as a party dtah Yet we have
only to look over menus for en-
tertaining to see how excellently
the aristocratic pea fits into our
social scheme
Wo find the pea much sought
after tor buffet suppers to escort
each dishes as chicken patties
lobster newbtirgs and salmon
ramekins We find peas guests
of honor at bridge parties in the
company of crisp vegetables for
alad and at dinner parties It is
the usual thing to see the popular
pea soup ushering in the first
course of the meal

COFFEE CHOCOLATE
2 cups coffee
2 tablespoons chocolate or van-
illa ice cream
2-3 cup chocolate syrup
Shake the three Ingredients
thoroughly with cracked ice and
serve in tall glasses which may be

Prices are down now but what
were they back in 1910? Take but-
terfat now so important to the far-
mer what was it bringing 20 years
ago?
The Oklahoma A & M College
would like to know and anyone
who has records of butterfat prices
in Oklahoma from 1910 to 1920 will
be rendering a service by sending
them to the Agricultural Economics
Department of the College says L
8 Ellis who wonts the figures
Ellis is making a study of com-
parative prices and has been un-
able to get accurate and complete
prices for butterfat during the 19-
10 and 1020 period Old accounts
or records kept by individuals or
dealers would show the range by
months and that is what he wants
Any material should be sent to Mr
Ellis Agricultural Economics De-
partment Oklahoma A & M Col-

sender wants the material return-

ECONOMICAL AND HEALTHFUL
DRINKS
WHAT! Canned foods for
farmers? Certaiuly Lots
of them All year round
Housewives who live In the coun-
try know good fruits and vge
tables and they insist upuu hav-
Inn them They can't have fresh
foods all year round until winter
has been abolished and they
know that ranned foods are grown
irom selected seeds cultivated by
the most modem sclentlllc meth-
ods aud that they are as near
uniform as is possible In this im-
perfect world They know too
that canned foods are picked
packed and processed at the mo-
ment of prime ripeness and under
the very best conditions So
these ure the foods which the
country housewife is using tods)
to solve her problems One of the
most serious of these problems
used to be the twenty-four hour
work day which gave rise to that
old despairing jingle:
"A man's work from n
to tun
Hut a woman's work 'j ntvtf
done"
Now couutry housewives have
come out of the kitchen They
no longer spend endless hours In
hard work over hot stoves The
pioneering days when each farm
was a self-sustaining unit are
over and done with
Time Now for Good Times
Today It would be Just as ah
Burd for a woman to prepare all
her food from the raw state in
the kitchen as would be for her to
raise sheep for wool spin and
weave It and make It into clothes
She knows that In many cases
it Is cheaper to buy her fruits aud
vegetables commercially canned
than It Is to OBI) them ul home
and that the use of them has
gained her time to chare with her
neighbors in community uctlvltles
and time to have good times with
her family
Another result Is that rural
housewives are growing to ap-
preciate more and more the value
of good foods and through the
proper selection aud balanco of
the diets which they serve they
iire bringing up their health rec-
ords and decreasing their doc-
tor's hills The BtirgeoB tleneral
or the United states recently re-
ported that 1M1 wus the most
healthful year we have ever had
Let's Look at the Larder
A glance at the larder of any
up-to-date farm will quickly con-
vince you that the country woman
Is just us clever about labor sav-
ing as her sister In the city or her
husband in the fields In fact
you'll u'"1 the farm cupboard well
Stocked Midi exactly the same
canned foods that you find in any
city or suburban pantry Canned
foods are one form of farm re-
lief that has really worked
You'll find In the average farm
house for Instance a variety of
lOUM ull ready to serve either
by themselves or as sauce for
other foods Also vegetables —
more kinds than a farmer's wife
could possibly raise in a kitchen
garden — ready to be served In
niuny different ways — creamed or
I uttered with the main course in
suludx or as entrees Krttlts too
for no farm can grow fruit all
year around — and commercial
canning is the only sate aud cer-
tain wuy of keeping fruits as good
throughout the entire year as
they were when they were fresh-
picked The rest of the cupboard you'll
find filled with u variety of spe-
cially foods such as canned sea
foods canned chicken pork and
beans nml spaghetti to name only
a few that are now in wide use
Lets Others Work
Does the country dweller of to-
day do much of this canning her-
self? Not If she's wise People
who have never done it are apt to
speak lightly of peeling a couple
of boxes of peaches or tomatoes
But a woman who has stood by a
stove inferno while the blinding
sunlight outside raised the tem-
perature up in the nineties has no
Illusions about how much work
it takes to prepare food fur the
cans not to mention the weary
hours of watching and care before
they ure ready at last to be put
away on the shelves She knowe
that commercial canners do It bet-
ter with their marvelous modern
machinery and she kuows too
that she can got good bargains
from them If she buys her canned
foods by the case
It is now Important In many
homes to save on the small extra
in the family budget which do not
amount to much separately but
which often come to a surprising
total Among such extras are the
commerlcal soda pops and other
fountain drinks These may furnish
good foods such as milk in a pal-
atable form but there are home-
made beverages which are Just as
pleasing and which may be made
at a saving in money and often
with an increase health value in
the food ingredients combined
Fruit drinks are very deslreable
not only because they taste good
but because they are filled with
minerals salts and vitamins Old-
fashioned lemonade is always a de-
sirable summer beverage A de-
lightful orangeade may be made by
adding 1-3 cup chilled water to
2-8 cup orange Juice and sweeten-
ing to taste You may chill with
part ice in place of water if de-
sired Serve as soon as made
Oranges and lemons may be
combined with other fruits to make
mlany delightful fruit punches—
which will be relished by the
adults as well as by the children
Children and Blasting Caps
Records show that each year ap-
proximately 500 children suffer In-
juries as the result"" of exploding
blasting caps The acidents result
from pounding blastig caps with
rocks hitting them with hammers
throwing them in bondfires pick-
ing the explosive with a nail etc
In some cases children are killed
or die of their Injuries Mostly
however the injuries range from
loss of sight of an eye to the lacer-
ation of fingers There have been
Instances where children have been
blinded or hands so badly mangled
that amputation has been necesary
The loss of one or more fingers is
somewhat frequent while legs have
ben injured and the faces of vic-
tims permanently disfigured
These causes have the appear-
ance ofan elongated 22-callbre rifle
cartridge though of slightly larger
dlamenter They are partly filled
with a very sensitive and violent
explosive that Is exploded by the
sparks from a lighted fuse One
size is 1 1-2 inches long the other
is 1 7-8 inches long Electric blast-
ing caps have wires attached and
like the ordinary cap are danger-
ous to children
Most of the injuries from blast-
ing caps occur during the summer
vacation when boys and girls are
out of school and have time to
roam fields woods and highways
or are in camps It is during the
vacation period that accident pre-
vention is most necessary
Within recent weeks hundreds
of newspapers throughout the Uni-
ted States printed a statement by
the Institute of Makers of Explo-
sives New York City to the effect
that the efforts of Boy Scouts were
contributing importantly to the re-
ducing of the number of accidents
caused by children playing with
blasting caps
Scouts seem never to be satisfied
in "post performances" only Ra-
ther the spirit of Scouting is to
"carry on"

PRESTO! No rabbits Jump
from your hat no eggs drop
out of purple silk handker-
chiefs nor oaptlvo maidens disap-
pear from trunks But it's some-
thing of a stunt Just the same to
give a simple twist- of the wrist
to two cans and produce a Down

enough to suit an old salt or a
homesick family from Gloucester
Hero Is the Trlek
Ready? Then roll up your
sleeves to prove there aren't any
live elams tucked away up there
open a can of vegetable soup —
some kinds contain twenty-one
different kinds of vegetables more
than a housewife could cut up In
a couple of hours then open a can
of soft shell clams Toss the two
together in a saucepan simmer
gently and serve Down East Clam
Chowder with pilot crackers and
no apologies
And next If you'll step right up
ladies and gentlemen we'll put in
a can of corn and a can of toma-
toes and some cream sauce and
pull out a genulno Creole soup
With three tablespoons of butter
three tablespoons of flour and
three cups of milk we make tho
white sauce Now we toss to-
gether a cup of canned corn and
a cup and a half of canned toma-
toes stow them for ten minute
press through a sieve and add tho
white sauce Shake In a little
salt and pepper serve with toasted
crackers — and here you are— a
corking good Creole soupt
