Uniform credit blank for stu dents transferring from one college to another. The remainder of the programs will be ready to give out within a few days. ,R. C. Burta, secretary, will send^out about the middle of February a list of the ^ptels, boarding houses and cafes in Columbia and teachers can easily make arrangement for pieces to stop.

The cold rain during the past week is a strong indicator of pleasant weather as the clouds will absorb all the cold air and carry it off as they dissolve. A cold wave is impossible. Rain will occur about the latter part of the week. One of the normal conditions of February weather is a large amount of humid ity, which should prevail in the form of clouds and rain. Lower temperatures will prevail with February 9 as the central date, also February 16. Temperatures much below freezing are not probable for this latitude# dur ing the remainder of the winter.

Thousands of American fam ilies today are using this mixed flour bread, and Ip soloing are enabling America to provide more wheat flour for the allies. Here’s a tested recipe for this bread: Take one and a half cups of milk, water or n mixture of tne two; one-half cake compressed yeast, one and a half teaspoons salt, one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon of fat If desired, one cup coni men > and two cups \Wient flour. P^iit one and a half cups of water the cornmeal, salt, sugar and fat (If used) into a double boiler and cook twenty minutes. The water Is stiff! clent only to soften the meal a little. Allow the meal to cool to about the temperature of the room and add the flour and yeast mixed with the rest of the water. Knead thoroughly, make Into loaf, place In pan of stand ard size, allow to rise until nearly fills the pan and bake 45 or 50 min- utea. It la hardly practicable to use a greater percentage of cornmeal than thla even In emergenctea, for bread so made differs very little from baked mush. Leas cornmeal can he used and In sues a case the general metk off given above may he followed.
