I A PAGE SIX THE CLINTON CHRONICLE: CLINTON. S. C. THURSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1924 PRODUCE AND CARE FOR MILK PRODUCTS Cleanlines* Will Help Qual* ity and Flavor. (Trowr'd by the United Ptatee Department of Agriculture.) MUk and eranni are among the moat jteritthahLe and easily contaminated' of «!] foods, and since they are often served uncooked, they may be a men ace to health unless produced and handled lu a cleanly way. Milk pro duced for home use on the farm de- ■erves as careful attention as It would receive In a first-class dairy. Cleanli ness in milking, the use of sterilised utensils, prompt straining and cool ing of the milk, and keeping It at a temperature of r<0 degrees F. or less if possible. In a place free from odors, dust, and tiles will bring large re turns in quality and flavor and con sequently In family well-being. The Indifference or aversion of farm chil dren to milk has been traced In many eases to the fact that milk smells and tastes of the cow, the stable, and of poorly washed utensils. The proper care of milk, butter and cheese Is very Important. It Is discussed In a new Farmers’ Bulletin 1374, Care of Food in the Home, which mnj be obtained by applying to tbe JPBited_ States Department of Agricul- Hilk bought from a dairy Is best 'l«pt until used In the bottles In which Jt Is delivered. They should be ibrought Indoors as soon as possible ‘after delivery, washed, and placed • in the refrigerator or other storage ;place where the temperature ts 50 degrees F. or preferably less. In iwadhlng. special" attention should be igiven to the mouth of the bottle and ithe cap. Even a temporary rise In the temperature of milk aids the de- *u«Sopine»it of bacteria. Butter should he kept cold and In ta covered container that excludes tUgbt and prevents the absorption of I foreign flavors. Creamery print but- <ter keeps well In the cartons In which -lit Is marketed. Butter purchased In ^feolk should he rinsed off with cold rwnter to remove any drops of butter- mtlk which may have come to the uurfnce and may then he wrapped In ^•everal thicknesses of cheesecloth wet In weak brine. Cheese of any kind Is especially ^•nseeptible to mold, but It can be ^protected to some degree by keeping *lt cool and well wrapped In waxed ,'pnper. Soft cheeses should be left tin their original containers until nned. The odor of cheese Is so pene trating that It should be kept In a tight container If stored near but ter, eggs, or other foods likely to be flavored by It. One Most Satisfactory Way for Coddling Eggi Many means have been suggested Aar cooking eggi In such a way that thn yolks will be cooked and the whites will not be overcooked. One <af the most satisfactory Is by cod dling, whlclfls done as follows: A1 tow n cupful of water to each egg bring the wajer Jo th£ bonjng point, '‘W&oVe H from the fire*, pm in the s, cover the dish closely and leave eggs In the water for about seven minutes. There Is sokie uncertainty nhont this method, for eggs differ In wright and also in temperature at the time the cooking begiris. On the whole, the best results can be ob tained by pouring hot water over eggs, "If the same dish with the same amount of water Is always used, but each cook ist mr-ke her oyui rul«a CONVENTION OF 1860 Editor The Chronicle: At that time I was just sixteen, but recall something of that period, and of the distinguished men of the time. B. F. Butler, then affiliating with the democratic party, voted repeatedly for Jefferson Davis for president. The months later Davis was president of the Confederate States, one of the best governments ever formed, while But ler was leading troops to overrun the South, and exceeded Pope, Hunter and Sherman in the cruelty and baseness of his mode of welfare. April 1860! This following fifty years of quarrel over slavery. After years of Northern inflamatory liter ature, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” the “Help Pamphlets,’ the Kansas war of 1856 (old r Laurens District had Crane Jones company there), the John Brown raid of 1859. All of 1860 the shadow of coming events overhung the skies. Bitterness and suspicion between the two great sections exist ed. Strangers were regarded with | suspicion. Sometimes during the year, or in the early days of 1861, a balloonist, about St. Louis, I think, lost control of his craft and drifted all the way to Union District, S. C., and dropping there, came near being mobbed as a spy. • The Democratic party went to pieces and all the elements that opposed the republican-abolition party, led b y Lincoln and Hamlin, were divided amongst three tickets, “Breckenrrdge and Lane,” “Douglas and Johnson,” and “Bell and Everett”. The result was, as might have been expected, disastrous defeat for the democratic party. The Southern states went solidly for Brerkenridge and Lane, the ticket receiving 72 electoral votes. Douglas and Johnson 12 electoral votes, Bell and Everett 39 electoral votes. Lincoln and Hamlin polled solid abolition vote, 180 electoral votes. Lincoln and Hamlin received 180 elec toral Votes from a total of 313, a ma jority of 47, while from the popular votes of 4,676,853 that ticket only had 1,866,352, 944,159 less than one- half. Why not abolish the electoral system? One year from this convention at 4:30 A. M., April 12, 1861, Beaure gard, a great soldier, standing on this ground with watch in hand at the ex piration of the one hour’s notice al lowed Maj. Anderson, gave the com mand to fire the shot that ushered in the mightiest conflict for human rights the world has ever seen. Two of the characters named, one famous and one notorious, Beauregard, Butler, as I recall their guns in cannon shot of Richmond, while Lee was fighting Grant from the “Wilderness” to Rich mond, May, 1864. The writer, badly wounded in the opening battle of the ten days fighting at Spottsylvania, Sunday morning. May 8, 1864, and af ter lying on the field hospital a week, reached Richmond Sunday, the 15th. Grant had sent Butler to attack Rich mond and Petersburg. Beauregard was there and with less than half the number of Butler’s force, whipped and held him cooped up in a curve of the James river, when Grant said Beau regard had Butler shut in as securely as if in a bottle and it tightly corked. I recall very distinctly that Johnson Hagood and his splendid brigade were greatly distinguished in this fighting. Perhaps it would not be exageration Handkerchiefs: Iron the center of a handkerchief first—then the edges. By doing so the edges will be straight when folded. * * * Salad Dressing:.. When making a boiled salad dressing beat up the whites of eggs left after the yolks have been used in a cake. They make the dressing very light. • * • Salt: Add a cupful of salt to the water in which you wash spinach, cabbage or lettuce. All the dirt will aettle in the bottom of the pan and the greens will be very crisp. ♦ * * Ironing: When ironing any round or oval article that shows signs of gathering up, stretch and pin the ar ticle on a towel while very wet. When dry it should be perfectly flat. * * * Curtains: A new and interesting fashion is curtains made of oilcloth in solid colors. They are the length of the window and are made to hang even and flare against the side of the rial, first place a small cake of white aoap under the cloth and run the sti letto through the material and the soap. The material will be softened and the needle will easily pass thru ft. * * * Canned Fruit: When canned fruit is to, be served, open an hour or two before serving and pour the contents of the tin into a dish. The contact with the air will improve the taste. * * * Batter: Before unwrapping butter, hold under cold water. The paper will come off without any of the butter •ticking to the paper. : KEEPING WELL | HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE DR. rWRDRWICK R. OWRRR R4lt«v •« ‘‘mBALTH* JUT ANT people have an Idea that high blood pressure Is a new dis ease ; that there are fixed, definite standards for blood pressure at differ ent ages and that any variation from these standards is dangerous. ( These Ideas are Incorrect. Blood pressure has existed as long ae life. Harvey recognised It when he discovered the circulation of the blood In 1616. Hales proved lt\ln J773. The only recent thing about blood pressure Is the Invention of machlnea for estimating It easily and accurately. The force of the blood In the ves sels Increases with increased action of the pump (the heart) or with Increased obstruction In the pipes (the blood ves sels). So blood pressure depends on the force of the heart’s action and the amount of resistance there Is In the vessels. These conditions vary. High Mood pressure Is not a disease, but It Is a sign of something wrong with the body machinery. Like high temperature. It may be significant or insignificant,, temporary or permanent High blood pressure does not neces sarily mean disease of the heart, the kidneys or the arteries, although In creased blood pressure 1» present In hardening of the arteries and In some forms of kidney and heart disease. There are many conditions in which high Mood pressure Is present without any hardening of the arteries. Temporary high blood pressure may be caused by severe exertion. Intense emotion, strong excitement or anxiety, or Intense mental effort Permanently high blood pressure Is often due to some kind of poisoning, such as Infection around the teeth, in the tonsils. In the accessory sinuses of the nose. In the gall bladder, or around the appendix. A common form of poisoning which causes high blood pressure is constipa tion. especially that form In which tha bowels move. regularly and yet tbs large Intestine Is not completely emp tied. Excessive use of tea, coffee and al cohol lias been held responsible for high blood pressure. Sometimes tha blood pressure Is greatly reduced hf; cutting out theee beverages/ , Tobacco may be responsible in some cases, but It ts prebably not an tmpe^ tant factor. Meat-eating hag no effect. Probably the most important is overweight and the most trestment ts to reduce oue’s we! a reasonable amount The symptoms of high blood sure are throbbing in the ears or la the head, persistent headache, sleep lessness, general restlessness and ex citement. Every person over forty should have ft's blood pressure taken every six months; certainly every year, In order that he may correct any undesirable habits of living at an early stage. «R. 1»4, Western Newspaper V ten.)

THE RECORDER’S COURT At the first meeting of the new council in September an ordinance will when I say, that, amongst a host of i ^, e P as8e d establishing a Recorder’s magnificent soldiers that led our lines ^ our ^» or Police Court, under the in that long, bloody contest, General s ^ a * :e ^ aw > which will take out of the Hagood had no superior. | hands of the mayor the work of po- For several week iiuthe latter part i ^ ce cour t j U( l(? e > and put it into the of I860, or the eafty tfays of of an -/ nde P endent recorder ot brilliant comet, with an immen?£_. cour t judge.

It is a much needed change because the growth of the community, and the enlargement of the duties of the mayor, by reason of operation of wa ter, light and sewer systems, enlarge ment of the street system, and the great increase in the fiscal detail which has to come under supervision and direction of the mayor, calls for more and more of the mayor’s time, and in line with the policy of other progressive towns, the duty of po lice court judge is thus to be trans ferred to'an independent judge or re corder, who according to state law, will be elected by the city council for a period of four years. His salary will be 8300.00 per annum. The new council is-in doubt as to who should be selected to this office. It is im perative that the Recorder be a man of moral courage, who will do what is just and right, regardless of any and every type of influence. He should be a man of excellent judg ment, as well as courageous in fol lowing his conscientious convictions. Appeal from his court is provided by law either to the city council or to the Clerk of Court. The recorder should be a man whose opinions and decisions would be so wise as to avoid the necessity for appeal. Up to this date there have been no applications to council for this position, as it has not been positively known that such an office would be established. This article is to make the announcement that the office will be established in order that those who are disposed to be come candidates may place their can didacy before the city council. Ap plications should be addressed to the undersigned. It should be added that additional to good judgment and moral courage, the polite court judge should have a reputation above reproach, command* Jng the respect of the entire commu nity. He should be a law-abiding Eyelets: To make a clear, even per foration in linen qr any stiff mate- sash. They are made in different widths. A hem is turned and a weight placed in the hem.
