THURSDAY, MAY JIST. IKS. TRBARNWHLLPMPUC-nDtTINm BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLDIA by Nancu Hart A Summer Meat Course. For the meat course of a quickly- served summer dinner, try jellied meat loaf prepared from the tinned fish, chicken or tongue that should be on every proper shelf. The foundation of the loaf is lemon-flavored gelatin, with slices of hard-boiled egg or gieen peas used alternately with the layers of meat or fish. Served with mayonnaise and rice or potato patties fried crisp and brown in* butter or margarine, d;his makes a very satisfying meal. 1 Quick Cup Cakes, v -4 cup melted butter or margarine, 2 eggs dropped in cup with the short ening, fill cup with milk. Sift 1 cup sugar, cups prepared cake flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder in the flour. Pour mixture in center of flour, add flavoring, beat well and bake in muf fin tins. Three Syrups for Canning. This year when you preserve, re member that there are three kinds of syrup to choose from—depending on the kind of fruit used. For heavy syr up to use with cherries, peaches, plums, quince and rheubarb, use 5 sups of sugar (beet or cane) to 4 cups wa ter, and boil 15 minutes. For a med ium syrtip for blackberries, huckle berries, apricots, use 2^ cups sugar to 4 cups water, and boil 15 minutes. A thin syrup for apples or pears may be made by boifing for 15 minutes 2 cups sugar with 4 cups water. A Note About Cloves. In using cloves for pickling or pre serving, the blossom end should be re moved, as it darkens the liquids. One of the veiy nicest things about Spring’s ensembles is the adaptability of the youthful little coat that is the mainstay of the costume. ►Slim and straight Of line ,they fit smartly over the silk frock of har monizing shades that usually comes ■with the suit—or they look equally well with a printed silk frock-^a jer sey sport dress or one of the printed georgettes we’ll soor; be using for af- tomoomand informa 1 dinner wear. Irr the-illustration we see Madge Kennedy, star of “Paris Bound,” in one of these versatile ensembles. The coat is of soft, honey-colored wool. The silk frock is in the same nice shade, with hand trimmings of pansy-colored silk. We surmise Miss Kennedy has * second frock of print ed silk to wear as an alternate with this clever coat, A pattern in orange and brown or a honey ground would be effective—with perhaps a pale brown felt hat and shoes to match. As the season advances crepe de chine frocks in the pastel shadbs may be worn with the ensemble coat. But one should be vareful to choose shades that tone in with the color pf the coat --for harmony is usually better than contrast in these combinations. w Those “Native” Printed Silks. D^d you know that many of the smartest and most popular printed silk motifs of the season are by Amer ican designers? Following the mod ern trend in color and composition they have a dash and freshness that sets them apait from the regulation patterns and makes us proud indeed to own them. High colored sport designs, delicate flower patterns, conventional motifs of originality and charm— there’s an American pattern for every Removes Grass Stains. Pretty hard to keep little folks up off the grass just now. But never mind. Grass spots will come out easily if washed in alcohol. *?V Good Floor Polish. To put a high and lasting polish or. hard wood,floors, use a pint of beeswax to two pints turpentine, dissolved in a saucepan on the range until a paste is formed. Apply with a soft flannel and rub brisklv. By Romaine ZS Ware . PRUNING HEPfiES. The problem of hedge pruning is somewhat of a puzzle to many fold, but it is really not such r difficult matter.. There are several things to be kept in mind and the rules are very sirnple. An Early Risar Portland, Maine.—For yeara Mellen C. Plummer, seventy, has seen the son rise daily.

Have you one of • the new Rodier' bags for your 'sport ensemble? Oh, surely. For they are so new and so colorful and so altogether desirable that it’s almost impossible to pass them by. Bright colors aryl futuristic designs are the outstanding features *of the fabrics use for these bags—and it’s smartest to have the hat and cos tume jewelry match the most promi nent shade in the bag. About your Things You Should Know by On Ironing Day. Instead of sprinkling clothes hand, use a whisk broom dipped i n water and shake it over the clothes. Also keep an atomizer filled with wa ter nearby when ironing, so you can spray dry spots as you iron. To Mend Iron.

A lobar pneumonia may be aborted Grade Crossing Deaths Reduced 120 in Year Washington.—Railroads havfe In formed the Interstate Commerce com mission thqt highway grade-crossing accidents, fatalities and persons in jured were reduced in 1927 compared with 1926. .Last year 5,&40 grade-crossing acci dents took 2,371 lives and caused in juries to 6,613 persons. In 1926 the toll was 5,890 accidents, with 2,491 fa talities and 6,991 persons injured. The decreases resulted despite a 5 per cent increase in the number of automobiles in operation in the same period. The American Railway asoclation attributes the reductions to the safe ty campaign work at the rail carriers, the National Safety council and the American Automobile association. The railroads believe, the asocla tion announces, that further reduc tions can be had, and efforts are be lug made by them to increase safety at grade crossings. It is said that complete elimination of grade cross ings is imimssihie because of physical and financial conditions. by John Joseph Gaines, M D COUNTER-IRRITANTS. These are agents which pioduce temporary irritation in another area than the 'infected prt. They are sel- |dom used any more—yet they are worth a bit of study, because of the good they may do in an emergency. Counter-irritants in common use in the household may be named as pepper, mustard T turpentine, croton oil and the like. We base the use of these things on our knowledge of infection and in flammation beneath the surface.

Later on in the disease, counter-irritation is effort wasted.' I like turpentine, in just strength to redden—which may be used longer, be- o cause of the benefits of inhaling its vapor. But we must be sure the kid neys are sound before we permit any contact of turpentine with the patient; we must be sure on that point. In a chronic pleurisy, especially when recurrent—in aged persons, with hacking, “dry”cough, the chest over the pain may be just touched in a cot- ton-tipped tooth-pick, - with cro uton oil; this old method is just as use ful today as it was sixty years ago.

Course for rural women and girls, to be held at Win throp College June 8th to 15th. Through the personal efforts of Dr. D .B. Johnson, with the help of the State Council of Farm Women, the Short Course has been made possible this year. Due to a lack of funds it was not held last year, for the first time in many years. This announce ment will be received throughout the State with great rejoicing, as the State Short Couise at Winthrop Col lege is looked forward to by both wo men and girls for months in advance as the big event of the year. All are anxious to attend, and consequently eagerly comply with all requirements in order to avail themselves of the splendid opportunity of a week’s study at Winthrop College. „ ,, ' ~ The theme of the Short Course this year centers around the health of the A splendid program of lectures, demonstrations and labora tory work has been planned. In addi tion, there will be time given to recrea tion, swimming and various forms of entertainments, with Chapel each day. A similar but separate program is planned for the girls who will attend. ^On the last two days the annual meeting of the State Council of Farm Women will be held, with Mrs. E. W. McElmurry, of Beech Island, the pres ident, presiding. A splendid program for this meeting is being planned. Out- cf-State speakers and instructors who are to assist with the Short Course are Dr. Louise Stanley,Chief qf the Bureau of Home Economics, of Wash ington, D. C., Miss Lucy Marvin Ad ams, of Atlanta, Ga., formerly of the National Y. W. C. A., and Dr. Maud Presley, of Charlotte, N. C. 1 v Six women from the Women’s Home Demonstration Clubs and six from the Girls’ Clubs are given this opportuni ty, and every county should have its quota there. In those counties where there is no Home Demonstration Agent,, the Farm Agent or Superin- Fiist, you must consider if you want a stiff formal hedge with it- sharp lines or a loose-growMng shrubbery- like hedge that is.more natural. Your method of pruning will govern this though the particular shiub that conp prises the hedge will have a great deal to sa.v about it. A hedge of Spiraea von Houtteii or Biidal Wreath should not he trimmed to a formal line—that not its’ nature—but if your hedge is cf privit oi Barberry it w'ill leQd Tt- self very nicely to the formal ,.type of pruning. Then, too, you must consider if it is a flowering shiub and w r hen it blooms. Flowering shrubs should alw r ays be pruned after their blooming period is over; in this way you do not lose the bloom. Most of the spring flowering shrubs bloom upon the wood grown in i • / w . y the previous season and if you prune ** hem in the spring or even late in the fall you lose a large part of the bloom- ingVwood and your display is spoiled. All of the fell blooming species may be severely pruned in the spring and they wrll bloom all the better for it that fall. If you are setting out a young hedge it wdll require careful pruning the first few’ years, as\this is the training time and you may Wart it right or wrong as you cut it witri your pruning shears. Doubtless you have seen many hedges that w'ere tall and\hin at the bottom. In most cases thisHs caused by im proper pruning in tnteir youth. You know the old saying, ‘M.s the twig is bent ” A young hedge must be kept cut back and made to grow good and bushy at the baW, then it will always grow that way, tmt if you. allow it to grow foot or so qigh be fore you begin to force it to spread d'u^ you will have to take extra gooc\ care of it or it will get leggy. And don’t forget that your hedge needs lots of water. You have a tot qf plants confined to a small area am they need, at least during the first fe^v years of their growth, a great supply of w'ater. Too, they should be culti vated frequently. Treat your hedge the best you know how’ and you w’ill he fully repaid by the better growth it will make.
