FOOD FOR THOUGHT There is no meat dish which is more enjoyable than that of chicken. The following method is one which is a great favorite. Maryland Fried Chicken.—Clean, singe and cut into pieces for serving two young chickens. Plunge into cold water, drain but do not wipe. Sprinkle with seasoning if salt and pepper and coat thickly with flour, having as much flour as possible adhere to the chicken. Fly out one pound of fat salt pork cut into pieces and cook the chicken slowly in the fat until tender and well browned, turning frequently. Serve with a white sauce made half of milk and half cream. Quick Nut Bread—Mix and lift two cupfuls of bread flour; add one-half cupful of sugar, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt. And three table poonfuls of softened butter and two tablespoonfuls of milk; add one egg and one egg yolk, well beaten, one cupful of milk and one-half cupful of walnut malt broktn into pieces. Beat thoroughly and turn into a buttered pan. Let stand twenty minutes, then bake in a moderate oven. Turkish Soup.—Cook one-fourth of a cupful of rice in three cupfuls of brown soup stock until soft. Cook a bit of bay leaf, two slices of onion, ten peppercorns, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of celery salt with one and one-half cupfuls of tomato, thirty thirty minutes. Combine the mixture rub through a sieve, bind with two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together. eSason with salt an dpepper and serve. Fruit Sauce.—Pour boiling water over one-fourth of a pound of dates; drain, stone and cut into pieces. Add one-half pint bottle of maraschino cherries and the sirup and one-half bottle of green figs with the sirup. Let stand over night, then add one-half pound of almonds blanched, shredded and browned. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Add salt to starch water and it will prevent the starch from freezing out. A shelf in the plover for shoes is far better than placing them on the floor. To prevent mustard from drying in the mustard pot, add a little salt when making it. When boiling eggs hard, use ones that are four or five days old. They peel very easily; the shell usually clings to a fresh egg. and drop into the wash boiler while Save the eggshells, tie up in cloth, the clothes are being boiled.

The following is the proclamation commuting the sentenco of Frank sticks: "The sentence of death heretofore imposed upon Frank Hicks by the Phillips County Circuit Court is hereby commuted to 12 years imprisonment in the state penitentiary.

Williams, Pastor Our services Sunday were successful from every viewpoint, spiritually, financially and numerically. There were three big services during the day. Our revival is now in full sway and many souls are being saved. Rev. C. P. Morrow a strong gospel preacher, and Dr. J. E. Jeltz, a noted singer, are here spending themselves in this great fight against sin. At 10 o'clock the church was filled. Pastor Williams preached a powerful sermon selecting for his stent I Kings 1:21, "And Elijah came unto all the people and said, How long halt we between two opinions? If the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him." Theme, "Decide for God." Our hearts were made to burn within us, as he so clearly pointed out the importance of making this one great decision. God, the gateway to many blessings is open, because he is a prayer hearing God. At 3 p.m. special services for the benefit of the children was conducted. A large and appreciative audience witnessed the message delivered by Rev. C. P. Morrow. He chose for his subject, "The way of the transgressor is hard." At 9 p.m. Rev. Morrow delivered another soul-stirring sermon discussing this thought: "What thank ye of Christ?"
