Kitchen Expert Tells
Of Sour Milk Uses
Housewives need not cry over
sour milk, for unlike spilled milk it
can be utilized to give ordinary
dishes new and delicious flavor
and texture, Nora Ellen Elliot, spe-
cialist In food preparation for the
A. and M College Extension Ser-
vice. has pointed out as she watch-
ed temperatures climb
With increased possibility that
milk may sour, housewives weie(
reminded that most breads such as
waffles, muffins, Johnny cakes,
are more tender when made with
sour milk In addition, they have
a different flavi-r, Miss Elliot says
A recipe requiring sweet milk
may be changed to Include sour
milk, providing the same quantity
of sour milk is used and from one-
fourth to one-half teaspoon of so-
da Is added for each cup of sour1
milk, the specialist has explained.
Also, the baking s<>da should be
mixed and sifted with the flour
when sour milk Is substituted.
If the milk Isn’t clabbered but
“Just turned,” it Is best to use a

Among the citations which com-
prise the Lesson-Sermon Is the fol- i
lowing from the Bible: “I heard as

tude. and as thp voice of many j

(Revelation 19:6).
The Lesson-Sermon also includes I
the following passage from the I
Christian Science textbook, "Sci-
ence and Health with Key to the |
Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy:
“Ood will overturn, until He come
whose right it Is.’...Truth Is al-
ways the victor" (pages 223 ana

Observance Of Bicycle
Safety Rules Unfed
Possibility of the organization of
a bicycle safety corps in Falfur-
rlas. t.» coincide with a state-wid*
movement along those lines, was
voiced Tuesday. July 18. by Mrs El-
liott. active in state traffic safety
educational circles Mrs Elliott has
extended an invitation to all o -
vie and industrial organizations to
cooperate in an active campaign
to curtail motorise and pedestrian
accidents in this and other c m •
m unities
scant one-half teaspoon of soda
for each cup of sour milk and the
baking powder should be reduce 1
by half.
Among Miss Eliott's suggestions
for utilization of sour milk or
cream are a sour cream salad
dressing to be used with shredded
cabbage and carrots; thick cream
soups with a sour cream base, es-
pecially potato, beet soup, and
com chowder; and a form of sour
cream dressing seasoned with salt
and sugar and whipped up with

In the electric business, those highly-
skilled men who climb poles and per-
form difficult work are called "pole
hikers." while the ground men are
called ''grunts'’ because they do heavy
work that often is attuned to the rhyth-
mical "grunt' of the foreman.
Whether hiker c: grunt, these men
must be intelligent, alert, well-trained
to work in all kinds
of weather and In
all kinds of emer-
gencies.
They are part of
the 1,009 of your fel-
