<Quick-Meal Gasoline or Oil Stoves Don't Get Red Hot All Over
Like the old fashioned cast iron stove. The "Quick-Meal" cooks the dinner in the
time it takes to start.
It make no dirt or dust, no smoke or soot, no smell or
ashes, it roasts the meat—but not the cook.
A "Quick-Meal" Gasoline or Oil Stove will do all the
cast iron coal stove will do—cooking and boiling, baking
and broiling; frying and roasting, stewing and toasting.
Millions have been sold. We sell them for less and they
cook the best.
Come In and Let Us Show You.

Kafir Flour To Lower
High Cost Of Living
BY H. PL CC:TH£i.L
The cost of bread is being consid-
ered by every man and woman in the
United States. The persistent de-
mand for our wheat In Europe has
nearly doubled the price of flour in
this country. The flour from kafii
and feterita can and should be used
to take; the place of several million
barrels of wheat flour. The food
from kafir flour can not only take
the place of that from a large quan-
tity of wheat, but it will make a de-
sirable addition to the variety on
American tables. Kafir foods prop-
erly prepared have a delicious flavor
and are highly nutritiohs. Every
car of kafir used for food by our peo-
ple will permit us to spare an addi-
tional car of wheat to Europe and
this will bring more gold to this
country.
The kafirs were introduced into
this country as feed for stock and for
this reason have not been generally
used for human food notwithstanding
their nutritive value and appetizing
flavor. Seven hundred million peo-
ple outside of the United States use
as a chief food some of the grain
sorghums, kafir. milo, feterita and
kaoliang. The largest use of the
kafirs for human food is found in In-
dia, China, Egypt, Syria and South
Africa. In the United States the
character and yield of the grain has
been improved and made more uni-
form. As soon as American people
generally use kafir for food, this
country will take the same rank over
Oriental countries in the quality and
quantity of its output that we now
one cup; salt, one teaspoonful; Gra-
ham flour, one and one-half cups;
sour milk, two and one-half cups;
soda, one heaping teaspoonful;
chopped raisins, one cup.
Mid well, fill one-pound baking
powder cans two-thirds full with bat-
ter! Put covers on cans and steam
four hours. This may be done in
a large, kettle. The water should
not be too deep—if it reaches one-
half the height of the can it will be
enough.
Golden Feterita Bread
Feterita meal, three-fpurths cup;
sugar, one.-fourth cup; salt, one-half
teaspoonful; egg, one; flour, one and
one-fourth cup; baking powder, five
level teaspoonfuls; milk, one cup;
butter (melted), one or two teaspoon-
fuls.
Mix and sift dry ingredients. Add
miik, egg well beaten and butter.
Bake in shallow buttered pans in hot
pver. twenty minutes.
There are, about six million acres
of the kafirs grown in the southwest,
principally in Kansas, Oklahoma and
Texas. Under average climatic
conditions and methods of tillage, the
kafirs will produce at least twice the
value of human food per acre as
wheat.
Kafir flour is nutritions. It con-
tains no gluten like wheat flour and
therefore can not be used alone to
advantage in cooking. Gluten is
that material in wheat flour that
makes the dough hold together while
rising and because of no gluten, bat-
ter and dough from kafir flour is
without tenacity. For pancakes,
waffles and muffins, the best results
are secured by mixing equal parts of
kafir end wheat flours. For bread
and biscuits not over one-fourth the
flour should be kafir. The United
States department af agriculture rec-
ommends kafir flour for puddings
and pastries.
Kafir cakes have been used on the
dining cars of the Rock Island lines
for two years and have been very
popular with travelers. The follow-
ing is the recipe of our chefs:
Two-thirds kafir flour, one-third
wheat flour. Three teaspoons bak-
ing pdwder to one quart of dry flour;
four eggs, a little salt and sugar;
sufficient milk to make three or focr
quarters batter. Add one-half cup
maple syrup. If the batter stands
over night it is better.

Paul Leiberman
t Sells Business
Paul Leiberman who has been
in the Poultry business here for
several years, and is well known
to the Poultry raisers of Harmon
County,.sold his half interest in
the Hollis Produce Co. to his
partner, Mr. Themar, who will
still continue the business at the
same old stand. Mr. Leiberman
has been in the poultry busi
ness for a long time here in
Hollts and has helped to estab
lish one of the best markets here
at Hollis as there is in South
west Oklahoma. He has always
paid the farmers top prices for
their poultry and has in that
way been a great help to these
people as well as Hollis, as the
more they get for their produce
the more they are able to spene
with our business men. Paul
and his young wife left Monday
for Oklahoma City, where they
will visit for a few days, and
from there they will eome back
to Altus, where Paul intends go
ing in the Poultry business. We
regret to have him leave Hollis
but can congratulate Altus on
getting such a wide awake busi
ness man like Mr. Lieberman.
We wish him much success in
his new field and hope to see
him back to Hollis some time.
