Abrams, Auditor Newberry County A survey of food crops raised in Newberry County shows a deficiency of syrup on a great number of farms. Read carefully the value of sorghum as given below and be sure to in clude this in your farm plans. Sorghum and sugar-cane syrups are valuable foods because of their high iron content; they also contain calcium, copper and a small amount of phosphorus. Home-made syrups are higher in iron than light colored syrup and commonly bought molasses. Syrups are inexpensive and avail able during the entire year. Syrup, because of its iron, may be chosen as a sweet in preference to can sugar or light com syrup. Hard syrup cookies, Boston Brown Bread, and ginger bread, are excellent sweets for children when used in moderation at the end of a meal. Syrup may be substituted for sugar in many recipes and also used to sweeten beverages such as cocoa, clabber and fruit juices. Home-made syrups when used in the diet help prevent anemia. If too much sugar is allowed to take the place of other foods the diet will be deficient in the building and regulating materials which su gar lacks utterly. To use the least sugar which will produce an accep table flavor is a good rule. Sugar creates an appetite, not for other foods, but for itself. Children who are allowed to eat candy whenever they feel like it are likely to be un dernourished because candy spoils their appetite for the foods they need for growth.

Beat the mixture thoroughly and) pour into greased molds until they are about three- fourths full. Cover loosely to keep out the moisture and steam for 3% hours. Remove the covers and bake the bread in a moderate oven for about 10 minutes to dry it. If the bread seems likely to crumble, loop a string around the loaf and cut slices by pulling the ends of the string. Two cups of sour milk and 1 tea spoon of soda may replace the sweet milk in the recipe. REVIEW of new BOOKS PAUL B. CLARK, PH. D. 1735 Woodbum Ave. Covington, Ky. FOR SALE — Electric light bulbs.

Yonr comfortable shoes restored to new appear ance as popular price*. Dennis Shoe Shop This is a convenient time in which to build a rock garden. These are very, attractive because they afford an abiding place for many small plants which would not suit else where. We may use wild plants as well as domestic plants, the com bination giving a most pleasing ef fect. These gardens may be established anywhere, except in dense shade, or in a soggy area. A sunnyslope is the veiy best location, sloping toward the east, the southwest would be the next best selection, because while the plants enjoy the sunlight they prefer not being subjected to its in tensity during the warmest part of the day. A hillside or mound may be transformed into a rockery or pbek garden by sinking rocks in the soil, allowing the smoothes side of the rocks to appear upward. If we do not use a mound of nat ural formation we build a mound of rich earth and sink into it rocks of various sizes and shapes. We never wish it to appear as a pile of stones, with soil thrown among them. In planting the rock garden we have vast amount from which to select. The ideal rock garden plant should be hardy perennial, a very free-blooming and not too spreading plant, and of dwarf stature. Suitable plants are crocus, daffo dils, Hyacinths, Iris, Oxalis, Dwarf One of the richest fields of delight ful reading is that of pamphlets; and one of the surest ways to ge; a pam phlet read is to ask that it be re turned. The person will read it be cause he feels that the giver might ask him about the contents. Dr. Nor man E. Richardson. Professor in The Presbyterian Theological Smeinary. Chicago, 111., has done some fine thinking that is available in this form, at the nominal sum of 2c per copy. Christians who desire to do some noble work should purchase many of these, spread them around for the people to see and read. They are advertised as “the young people’s counselor,” and they are just that; they are the old people’s counselor too. The titles of some are: “Per sonality Development—One of the Fine Arts”, “What is Faith?”, "Dis covery versus Revelation in Personal Experience”. “Whv was I Bom?”, “Learning That Fails to Arrive at Truth”. “What Am I Living For?”, “How Should We Regard the Bible?”, “What Is a Religious Experience?”, “In What Sense Is Christian Worship Unioue?”, “What Are the Distin guishing Marks of a Christian?”, “What Hanpens When People Wor ship?”, “Foundations of a Strong Character”, “Solitude without Lone liness”, “Helping others to Achieve Distinction”, “Witnessing for Christ”, “How to Build a New World”, “What the Church Expects of Its Members”, and “How to Make the Most of Pri vate Devotions.” These pamphlets are likewise valuable in that they set before the reader different phases of prayer, showing that phase by exam ple. The spirit 6f the author is a fine asset in each tract; he shows under standing, sympathy, earnestness, noise, and faith in the cause of his fellow companions who are not so gifted in discerning: he has force of belief, directness of method, and a helpful message to offer. Dr. Glenn Clark, Professor of English, Macalister College in Min nesota. gives in his new book entit led, “How to Find Health through Prayer”, published by Harper, New York, the technique of prayer. In good English, he sets forth the real istic problems of daily existence, dis ease. and the like. The chapter headings are: “Bathing in the Jor dan”. “The Seven Baths”, “I Go Forth Adventuring”, “Washing Out the Roots”. “They Wav Jesus Healed People”, “The Way I Pray for Heal ing”, “Examples of Answered Pray er”, and the like. Appendix. Three words characterize the book—realism, prayer and mysticism. “Children un der twenty, strange to say, are af fected as to their health far more by their parents’ wrong thinking than by their own. . . The milder diseases (ehiekenpox, etc.), represent the out break unon the children of the milder forms of selfishness and wrong think ing of the parents,” p. 54. Thomas Jefferson is in print again. It is a reprint of “The Jefferson Biu.e”, published 1 by Wilfred Funk, Inc. This title is given on the jacket; the book itself is entitled, “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Navareth.” In brief, this particular book is “the English section of the Jefferson Bible; the extractions from the Gospel studied out over a period of sixteen years by the man who wrote the Declaration of Independence”. Jeff erson, during his first term in the White House, dreamed of “separting the sayings ... of Jesus from what he considered to be extraneous mat ter”. This is the section of the book completed first; later, in columns side by side, Jefferson added the Greek, Latin and French texts but these are not printed here. He made a good work in what he attempted to do, using the common version. This work was not given to the public during Jefferson’s lifetime; he used it for his personal spiritual uplift. “The Ghost of Nancy Hanks” To the list of Newspaper Classics associated with Lincoln’s Birthday should be added another. True, it appeared first in a book but it has been “reprinted by request” in the papers so many times that it rates as a Newspaper Classic. It was written by Rosemary and Stephen Vincent Brenet and was included in their “A Book of Americans” publish ed by Fairar and Rinehart in 1933. Its subject is: Alyssuin, Scarlet Ageratun, Dianthus, white and scarlet Gypsophelia, crick- led Petunia, all colors of VerDena, and violets galore. These are ar ranged with tallest at the highest points and planting in a height dtes- ct'ndancy toward the base off the garden. Plant bulbs in the autumn and all seed just as soon as the ground is warm around the Vernal Equinox in March. SHOE SUPPLIES SICK, NERVOUS CRANKYK? Then Read WHY Lydia E.

NANCY HANKS If Nancy Hanks Came back as a ghost Seeking news Of what she loved most She’d ask first: “Where’s my son ? What happened to Abe ? What’s he done? “Poor little Abe Left all alone Except for Tom Who’s a rolling stone; He was only nine The year I died. I remember still How hard he cried. “Scraping along In a little shack With hardly a shirt To cover his back And a prarie wind To blow him down. Or pinchin’ times, If he went to town. * “You wouldn’t know About my son? Did he grow tall? Did he have fun? Did he learn to read ? / ‘ Did he get to town ? Do you know his name? Did he get on?” Soon after “A Book of Americans” appeared and the reprinting of “Nan cy Hanks’ began, D. A. Graff, a con tributor to Franklin P. Adams’ col umn “the Conning Tower,” then ap pearing in the New York Herald-Tri bune, wrote this: REPLY TO THE GHOST OF NANCY HANKS I remember your son Whose bony hands Left a plow to rest In prairie sands And came to town In his Sunday suit Wearing Tom’s hat And shirt to boot. He got a job In a grocer’s store Then he bought leather boots For his awkward feet Weighin’ out beans And sweepin’ the floor. And practised law In the county seat'. He studied hard (Almost every night) Till the pages blurred Beneath the candle light. You’d have smilea In your pioneer way To see him readin’ About Henry Clay And hear him talk In a low-pitched tone To a bed and a table In a room, all alone When he’d think of you Before goin’ to sleep. He’d pray the Lord Your soul to keep. And he’d see your face When the rains’d drip Through the quiet hours Of a flatboat trip. “Did he have fun?” Yes, in his youth And he’d often laugh In a way uncouth; But in later years When his road was steep He kept his laughter Way down deep. “Did he grow tall?” A good six feet. With a roomy chest Where a stout heart beat; With hairy hands To grip a plow And a blacksmith’s fist That e’d stun a cow. “Did he get on?”— If what you mean Is a white frame house In a yard of green. Or money to buy A bottomland 1 farm Or store-bought clothes To keep him warm. Or the extra horse So he could ride Along country roads With his village bride— Well— Gettin’ on like that Wasn’t his way. He didn’t guage success By the bales of hay, Or the cords of wood A man can buy, Or acres he owns In wheat or rye. He didn’t care ’ For wealth in gold But for wealth in love That a heart could hold. Your son Abe Was of different clay. He’djforvet to ask His rightful pay As a lawyer should When he wins a case And the right prevails Against the base. He made his way By a different road And his shoulders carried A heavy load While cannon belched And generals led Gaunt gray troops Of marching dead. While fear-crazed boys Slogged through mud __ And cannisters were Flecked with blood, While Sherman rode Through a southern street And a drummer died In a field of wheat. Yes, Abe got on. Though few can tell How he ever lived through The war’s black hell And he died at last In a President’s bed While the nation mourned Its departed dead. So, if you’re the ghost , Of Nancy Hanks, You’ll find Abe there Where armor clanks And you’ll see his face If you care to look For his eyes will smile With a God-like look. S.C. Food Prices Up Increase of Ten Per Cent is Indicated Columbia, Feb. 15.—Food prices in South Carolina have increased since last June, a state department of la bor survey which covered ten cities and towns showed today. In nine of the ten places, prices were above those of June. In only one was the average below what it was eight months ago. Spartanburg was shown by sur vey to have had the sharpest rise. The increase there was 3.9 per cent. In Cclumbia, the jump was only four-tenths of one per cent. The average increase for the nine towns where prices were up was 1.0 per cent. Besides Spartanburg and Columbia, these places with their price increases were: Aiken, 1.8 per cent; Charleston, 2 per cent; Orangeburg, 1.7 per cent; Beaufort, two-tenths of one per cent; Summerville, 1.3 per cent; Greenville, 2.3 per cent; Laurens. 3.1 per cent. Commissioner of Labor W. Rhett Harley said the price increases were in line with national trends. The friends of little John Hopkins, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. John Hop kins will be glad to know that he is at home after being in the Columbia hospital for two weeks. He was placed in a cast for hip trouble where he will be confined for several weeks. Ask Yourself Th ese Questions- Convince Yourself vS.
