HOMINY SAID HEALTH BUILDER
Department of Agriculture Describes Ways of Cooking
Southern Dish to Best Advantage.
(By TJ. S. Dept. of Agriculture)
Why not serve hominy grits once a
week for the sake ot variety to
starchy'vegetables? The United States
Department of Agriculture suggests
that people in the North and the West
would do well to try this excellent
southern dish, which is very economi
cal at present prices. Hominy grits
result from grinding up whole hulled
hpminy from which the germ has been
removed, in appearance the grains
somewhat resemble small broken rice,
but when cooked the hominy retains
the clean nutty flavor of the corn, and
lends itself well to use a starchy vege
table with meat or other combinations.
Relief organizations have used hom
iny grits with great success in Eur
ope and Asia Minor, -where it proved
acceptable to thousands in spite of
the fact that it was an unfamiliar
food.
Although of the same food value as
a coarser, degermed hominy, grits
have the advantage of cooking in a
much shorter time. To many people
their flavor and texture are prefer
able, possibly because the butter,
meat fat, or gravy used with them
penetrates through the dish better
than in the case of the coarse homi
ny. If grits are soaked in advance the
cooking period can be shortened con
siderably. The first step Tn preparing grits
for the table is to boil them, like any
other cereal. Of course, boiled hom
iny in the form of grits is frequently
used for a breakfast food, or as a
lunch or supper dish with a sweet
sauce; its possibilities for dinner
seem to be less familiar except in the
South. For each cup of hominy grits
4 to 5 cups of water is allowed. This
should be seasoned with 2 teaspoons
of salt. The grits should be added
slowly to the salted boiling water and
coked for 10 minutes over the fire.
Then the cooking should be contnued
for two hours in a double boiler or
finished overnight in the fireless
cooker.
The favorite combination of meat
and grits in the South is "hog and
hominy," which may be roast pork,
fried pork chops or tenderloin, baked
leg of pork, or fresh pork sausage,
served with a generous helping of
plan boiled hominy grits. Some of
the fat from the meat is mixed with
the grits in place of butter. Some
times, the idea of "hog and hominy"
rray be stretched to include ham or
bacon, and there is no reason why
those who enjoy salt pork should not
eat it with hominy grits as a starchy
vegetable.
The uses for left-over boiled homi
ny grits are innumerable. Grits are
particularly good if cut in slices, dip
ped in flour, and fried to a delicate
brown. This can be served for break
fast or in place of a dinner vegetable.
When planned for use in this way the
warm boiled hominy should be poured
into a bread tin or baking powder can
to mould it into a form from which
attractive rectangular or round slices
can be cut. Fried hominy grits with,
maple sirrup, honey, or preserves is
a luncheon dish or dessert that may
be compared with waffles in satisfac
tion to the palate.
To vary ordinary muffins a small
quantity of cold boiled hominy grits
can be used instead of part of the
flour. In making gems with any cook
ed starchy cereal it is necessary to
have the batter stiffer than in all
wheat flour mixtures, since the cook
ed cereals contain a considerable pro
portion of water.
The following recipe is recommend
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture:
Hominy Muffins
1 cups cooked grits,
Vz cups wheat flour,
1 teaspoon salt.
3 teaspoons baking powder,
2 tablespoons syrup or sugar.
1 or 2 eggs, i
2 tablespoons fat.
Liquid sufficient to make a stiff bat
ter (about cup).
Sift together the flour, salt, and
baking powder twice. Beat the eggs
until light and add to the cold boiled
hominy grits. Add the sirrup or su
gar the melted shortening, and flour
mixture alternately with the liquid
(milk or water), until a stiff batter
is formed. Drop into greased muffin
pans until half filled and bake 25 to
30 minutes in a moderately hot oven.
Hominy Dishes for Scalloped Dishes
A "one-piece" dish for which boil
ed hominy grits forms the basis can
be made in the same way as are those
scalloped dishes often prepared with
bread. Arrange alternate layers of
cooked grits with the food to be com
bined with it. Minced cooked beef or
lamb; slices of pork or veal; fish
picked from the bones; sharp cheese,
grated; tomatoes; peppers; onions;
celery; cabbage; vegetable mixtures.
Any of these foods may be made into
attractive dishes when scalloped with
coked grits. After the baking dish is
filled, a cupful ,of white sauce should
be poured over the combination, and
the whole may be covered with but
tered crumbs and baked 30 minutes.
Left-over chicken may also be cream
ed and scalloped with homing grits.
Hominy Turnover
1 pint cooked hominy grits,
1 cup milk,
1 teaspoon salt,
2 well-beaten eggs.
Mix all together. Turn into a fry
ing pan in which a tablespoon of fat
has been melted. Stir into a frying
pan in which a tablespoon o ffat has
been melted. Stir untl not through
out. When golden brown on the bot
tom, fold like an omelet and serve on
a hot platter.
RECIPES
CHICKEN PUDDING
Cut up two young chickens into
good-sized pieces; put them in a sauce
pan with just enough water to cover
them well. When boiled quite tender,
season with salt and pepper; let them
simmer ten or fifteen minutes longer;
then take the chicken from the broth
and remove all the large bones. Place
the meat in a well-buttered pudding
dish, season again, if necessary, add
ing a few bits of butter. Pour over this
the following batter:
Eight eggs beaten lightly, and mixed
with one quart of milk, three table
soonfuls of melted butter, a teaspoon
ful of salt and two large teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, added to enough
sifted flour to make a batter like griddle-cakes.
Bake one hour in a moderate oven.
Make a gravy of the broth that re
mained from the cooking of the
chicken, adding a tablespoonful 6f
flour stirred into a third of a cup of
melted butter; let it boil up, putting
in more water if necessary. Serve hot
in a gravy boat with the pudding.
BAKED EGGS ON TOAST
Toast six slices of stale bread, dip
them in hot salted water and but
them on a platter or deep plate, break
enough eggs to cover them, breaking
one at a time and slip over the toast
so that they do not break; sprinkle
over them salt and pepper and turn
over all some kind of thickened gravy
either chicken or lamb, cream or a
cream sauce made the same as
"White Sauce;" turn this over the
toast and eggs and bake in a hot oven
until the eggs are set, or about five
minutes. Serve at once.
LEMON JELLY FILLING
Grate the yellow from the rind of
two lemons and squeeze out the juice;
two cupfuls of sugar, the yolks and
whites of two eggs beaten separately.
Mix the sugar and yolks, then add the
whites and then the lemons. Now
pour on a cupful of boiling water; stir
into this two tablespoonfuls of sifted
flour, rubbed smooth in half a cup of
water; then add a tablespoonul of
melted butter; cook until it thickens.
When cold, spread between the layers
of cake. Orages can be used in place
of lemons.
Another filling of lemon (without
cooking) is made of the grated rind
and juice of two lemons and the
whites of two eggs beaten with one
MARBLE CAKE
White Part Whites of four eggs,
one cup of white sugar, half a cup of
butter, half a cup of sweet milk, two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one
teaspoonful of vanilla or lemon and
two and a half cups of sifted flour.
Dark Part Yolk of four eggs, one
cup of brown sugar, half a cup of
cooking molasses, half a cup of butter,
half a cup of sour milk, one teaspoon
ful of ground cloves, one teaspoonful
of cinnamon, one teaspoonful of mace,
one nutmeg grated, one teaspoonful of
soda, the soda to be dissolved in a lit
tle milk and added after part of the
flour is stirred in, one and a half cups
of sifted flour.
Drop a spoonful of each kind in a
well-buttered cake-dish, first the light
part, then the dark, alternately. Try
to drop it so that the cake shall be
well-streaked through, so that it has
the appearance of marble.
SUPERIOR LOAF CAKE
Two cups of butter, three cups of
sugar, two small cups of milk, seven
cups of sifted flour; four eggs, the
whites and yolks separately beaten;
one teacupful of seeded raisins, one
teacupful of well-washed and dried
'currants, one teacupful of sliced cit
ron, one tablespoonful of powdered
cinnamon, one teaspoonful of mace,
one teaspoonful of soda and one tea
cupful ot home-made yeast.
Take part of the butter and warm
it with the milk; stir in part of the
flour and the yeast and let it rise;
then add the other ingredients with
a wine-glass of wine or brandy. Turn
all into well-buttered cake-tins and let
rise again. Bake slowly in a moderate
oven ofr two hours.
FRUIT TURNOVERS
Make a nice puff paste; roll it out
the usual thickness, as for pies; then
cut it out into circular pieces about
the size of a small tea saucer; pile the
fruit on half of the paste, sprinkle
over some sugar, wet the edges and
turn the paste over. Press the edges
together, ornament them and brush
the turnovers with the white of an
egg; sprinkle over sifted sugar and
bake on tins, in a brisk oven, for
about twenty minutes. Instead of put
ting the fruit in raw, it may be boiled
down with a little sugar first and then
enclosed in the crust; or jam of any
kind may be substituted for fresh
fruit.
PLUM CUSTARD TARTLETS
One pint of greengage plums, after
being rubbed through a sieve, one
large cup of sugar, the yolks of two
egs well beaten. Whisk all together
until light and foamy, then bake in
small patty-pans shells of puff paste
a light brown. Then fill with plum
paste, beat the two whites untl stiff,
add two tablespoonfuls of powdered
sugar, spread over the plum paste
and set the shells into a moderate
oven for a few moments.
These are much more easily hanai
hnji nieces of nie or even pies
whole, and can be packed nicely for
carrying.
HAM TOAST
Take a quarter ot a pound of either
boiled or fried ham, chop it fine, mix
it with the yolks of two eggs, well
beaten, a tablespoonful of butter, and
enough cream or rich milk to make
it soft, a dash of pepper. Stir it over
the fire until it thickens. Dip the
toast for an instant in hot salted
water; spread over some melted but
ter, then turn over the ham mixture.
Serve hot.
REED BIRDS ON TOAST
Remove the feathers and legs ot a
dozen reed birds, split them down the
back, remove the entrails, and place
them on a double broiler; brush a lit
tle melted butter over them and broil
the inner side thoroughly first; then
lightly broil the other side. Melt ne
quarter of a pound of butter, season
it nicely with salt and pepper, dip the
birds in it, and arrange them nicely on
slices of toast.
FOUR KILLED IN
BELFAST RIOTS;
MANY WOIKD
LONDON, Feb. 14. Shooting con
tinued throughout today in Belfast.
Four persons were killed and many
were wounded. The total casualties
since last Saturday up to tonight were
22 persons killed and more than 60
wounded. The wounded list does not
embrace the cases of many persons
suffering from minor injuries.
British troops were sent into Bel
fast today to restore order. They
hardly had assumed their duties be
fore one of the soldiers was shot and
wounded.
In the political sphere the principal
news of the day was an announcement
by Michael Collins, head of the provi
sional government in Ireland, to Win
ston Spencer Churchill, the British
secretary for the colonies, that Mr.
Collins was in a position immediately
to obtain release of a number of the
kidnaped Ulsterites.
BIG STRIKE TALKED
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 14. An
industrial war, tying up .America's
soft coal output and possibly paralyz
ing transportation, threatened the na
tion today as 2300 delegates to the
United Mine Workers convention met
to determine their policies.
Agents of the government were seen
about union headquarters and in cor
ridors in Thompson hall where the
miners convened.
LINGUISTS UPSET OLD IDEA
Fond Belief Long Held by Young
Mothers Would Seem to Be With
out Foundation.
It Is commonly believed that a baby,
when growing up and learning to talk,
speaks the words "ma" and "da
through constantly hearing these ut
tered by others. This Idea, however, Is
upset by certain students of languages,
who advance a totally different theory.
In most languages, "ma" Is generally
the first syllable spcken by a child, ac
cording to linguists. It Is the root of
the word "mother." As a baby opens
Its mouth and then exhales breath It Is
quite possible that It makes this excla
mation unconsciously.
Some persons believe that there Is no
such thing as a "natural" tongue to the
world ; for, they say. If all babies over
one year old were caused to become
deaf and dumb, they would be obliged
to go through the Identical slow proc
ess of Inventing and evolving a tongue
as man was compelled to do In days
gone by.
An ancient king of Egypt, Psammetl
cns, placed two children among a herd
of goats on one occasion. They were
never allowed to hear a human voice,
yet, after two years, the children were
able to say the word "bekos." which
meant bread. The king's conclusion,
naturally, was that his people were
the first In the world and their tongue
the only true one.
Famous Nuremburg Bible.
Following the discovery of copper
plate engraving we have the printing
of the Gutenberg Bible, said by some
authorities to be the first use of mov
able type. Soon Savonarola Is dis
tributing his sermons in pamphlet
form among the people. Kobruger has
"perfected" the press. 'Terfected up"
books are being published. A rich
doctor of Rome is successfully experi
menting with type, when appears the
Chronicle at the Nuremburg press.
(Columbus has found the New
world.) At this press Durer is ap
prenticed to Wolgemuth, and, to
gether with Pleydendorf, they com
pose the art staff of the Chronicle.
And they make the type.
This publication is to appear yearly.
Some copies are to be bound, but for
the most part it is to be Issued as a
newspaper. It Is the first - printed
newspaper in the world or did China
have one? Printing was first used
there in 20g B. C- bnt the secret
never got out China had a wall. Be
sides, she wasn't even mentioned In
Europe till a missionary carried the
"word." This was about the middle
of the Thirteenth century. Exchange.
Nature's Wood Works.
One of the greatest sources of or
nate wood Is to be found In burls
which are malformations of tree
growth produced by insect attack or
other pathologic condition. The most
valuable burls are found at the roots.
In walnut they often weigh from 500
pounds to a ton, says the American
Forestry Magazine. They are so like
ly to be defective that it Is a gamble
as to how they will open up In saw
ing. There are thousands of little
buds with little circlets of wood about
them and Irregular pigment deposits
which work up lntp fantastic designs
with little or no resemblance to nor
mal wood. The bowls of briar pipes
are made from the burls of various
shrubs belonging to the heath family
the American "briar" coming from
the mountain laurel. The California
redwood supplies burls which are made
Into all sorts of novelties and
souvenirs.
Conservation of Vanishing Specie
It Is urged upon all biologists to&
ert a more serious effort to rescue
few fragments of vanishing nature. In
cluding all forms. It Is pointed out,
through the medium of Science, that
the appalling rate at which our native
flora and fauna are disappearing la
obvious to all except those workers
whose outlook li bounded by the walls
of their laboratories, and that the situ
ation is accepted by these latter as more
or less Inevitable. That biologists,
above all others, are In a position to
"appreciate the loss of a single species
or of natural associations of species"
Is patent. They are, furthermore, in
an advantageous position to bring out
by propaganda and with the weight of
authoritative counsel the value of this
conservation. Toward the furtherance
of this end a national organization has
been nrononed. Scientific A marina n
MERGING OF MARKET AND BOND
ROAD FUNDS TO INCLUDE ALL OF
COUNTY IF CHANGE IS AGREED ON
If the county court decides to car
ry out the projected road improve
ment program which would combine
the market and bond road funds for
the improvement of the main arter
ies the entire county rather than
any particular road district will be
included in the new scheme for fi
nancing construction. This, it has
developed is the sentiment of the
county court, which will materially af
fect petitions from individual com
munities for the inclusion of both
bond and market funds on any par
ticular main road.
A year ago the commissioners felt
that the diversified needs of the coun
ty were of too wide an import to
handle entire change in the system,
although the judge has been favoring
the combined market road and bond
plan. The commissioner's objections
were based upon the fact that there
was an urgent need for the improve
ment of so many arteries that they
were not prone to" tie up the market
funds for work on the main arteries
only.
However, with the opening ot such
roads as the ML Hood Loop and the
roads Into the southern part of the
county as main trunks it is felt that
a sufficient program, has been put
under way to warrant the shifting of
the funds from general construction
to more specialized improvements
with the view to making these of a
permanent nature.
There remains some contention as
to the hard surface type of improve
ment, as against the opening of mar
ket roads through the construction of
macadam as the standard.
The feeling has grown, however, to

MINERS TO MEET
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 11 The

ment made today by John L- Lewis,
president of the mine workers, who
called the meeting.
the effect that with the main trunk
roads now giving access to practically
every portion of the county, it will
be advisable to make the bond funds
operative through preparing the base
by use of market road funds. The
court points out that the only way
this can be handled in justice to the
entire county is to make all of the
roads designated under the bond pav
ing act as market roads, and then dis
tribute the market funds from year
to year. There will only be funds
enough annually through the market
road money to prepare the base for
some 2o miles or less of pavement.
This necessitates the placing of the
funds all on one or two roads each
year, and the only equitable way it
can be done they say, is with the as
surance that all will be ultimately im
proved. This decision, though tacitly reach
ed, has resulted in the holding up of
some of the individual applications
for the merging of the funds on indi
vidual roads. The county at present
is not ready to make a blanket state
ment that the market funds will be
used on bond roads, as the 1922 im
provement program is still in the
course of formation. It Is however,
regarded as certain that any decision
to put the bond paving funds into op
eration through the aid of market
money, will include the entire county,
although in one or two exceptional
cases in the past, this has been done
without an inclusive order. The
scheme now is to be changed so that
relief for one community will be fol
lowed by relief for the entire coun
ty's farming country, in rotation as
the court dictates.
