FINANCIAL CRISIS
THROUGHOUT JAPAN

Say War With America

Ridiculous.

LONDON, Jan. Ie.-EngIand is alarm
ed for Japan's future British states
men think the combined political and
financial crises there about the most
serious any nation could possibly face
It needed only a glance at the coun-
try's balance sheet to tell some time
ago just What was coming, but no one
seemed to appreciate the fnminence OF
extent OF the danger. The past few
days Developments showed the .worId
how grave the situation really S.
One thing IS certain. There will be
no further talk Of a japanese declara-
sion of war against any other power in
the world for a long time 10 come.
Even with the best or luck and man
Ggement British statesmen and finan-
ciers say they can't figure how the

Outside Of a sentimental unwillingness

GIFT OF $3.50
FOR CHARITIES
Made for More Funds
and for Salary of
One Agent.

The largest contribution yet received
~ the Associated Charities this season
is the gift of $3.50 from Mrs. T. Morris
Murray, who also sends so for the
committee on prevention OF consump-
ton. Mrs. Margaret Buckingham, and
Miss Bessie J. Kibbey each sent 900.
The joint finance committee calls at
tention to the fact that IN other large
cities many contributions of 500 and
81 600 each are secured as a backbone
for the general fund.
The committee hopes that the unusual
difficulties and discOura gements result
ing from the recent financial disturb
ances viii lead several citizens to con-
tribute the salary OF one agent, 500 q
year.

fork before putting in the oven, to
avoid bIistering For the filling, cream

juice of half a lemon and two table
spOOnfuls of boiling water. and lastly,
the beaten yolks of three eggs. Crate

double boiler until thick Beat the
whites OF the eggs to a stiff froth and
then stir in after the filling is taken
from the fire. Pour all in the open
crust, already baked, and set in oven
for few minutes. If a meringue is
desired. whip the whites to a froth,
add two tablespoonfuls pulverized
sugar, spread over the top, and dry
slowly in the oven until an inch thick

REAL WEDDING CAKE
BOSTON GIL MADE OWN WE'D
DING CONNECTION.
Used Same Recipe as That Her Moth
er Had Used Forty Years Be-
fore-Dirsctions for Mix
ing and Cooking.

Any girl can have a caterer at her
wedding, but not every girl can make
the wedding cake with her own hands,
as one wel-known Boston girl did re-
Gently. People are getting a bit
bored at having TO carry home the in
variable little box of bakers cake that
the bride never saw. So there's a re-
action toward the home cooked wed
ding feast, cake and all.
This Boston girl who surprised all
her friends by having a bona fide wed
ding cake in the middle of the table,
says she used the same recipe that
her mother had at her wedding 40
years ago.
1t takes six cups of curTants,
washed. dried and picked. Three cups
of raisins, three cups of citron cut in
fine strips, one-half cup of candied
lemon peel, two cups of almonds,
blanched and cut in shreds.
In warm bowl mix four cups of but
ter and four cups of sugar, granulated
or confectioner's; beat these together
until light. Break ten eggs into an
other bowl, but do not beat them.
Cover a waiter with a big sheet of
paper; sift four pints of flour over
this; add the fruit and the following
spices: Two teaspoons each of nut
meg, mace and cinnamon, one table
spoon each of cloves and aIlspice. Mix
these together and stand aside ready
for use
Have ready in little pitcher half
pint of best brandy. Select a deep
cake tin and grease with butter, line
it inside with white paper and on the
outside and bottom four or five thick
nesses of coarse wrapping paper,
which you must tie on. Have your
oven hot and the fire banked so it will
not burn out quickly.
Now beat the butter and sugar once
more, add the eggs two at a time.

ton. When this is done turn in the

FRENCH STYLES IN SALADS.
Care in Preparation Of ingredients VIII
Be Well Repaid.

To make a salad of cooked vege-
tables such as the best French cooks
turn out takes great care in cooking
and cutting up the ingredients. House
keepers are too apt to do such work
with a careless hand. 1t seems In
credible, but even in this day Of ad-
vanced salad making there is now
and then a housewife who will use her
chopping bowl or meat grinder in the
preparation of what she is pleased to
call a salad. The vegetables should
all be cooked separately in salted
water until they are tender, but not
soft enough to cTumble. 1t is better
TO cut them up before cooking. Drain
them thoroughly. Turn the vegetables
together while hot and mOisten them
with oil and vinegar. It is an excel
lent idea to have one or two kinds
of savory vinegars such as tarragOn
and nasturtium on hand 10 give va
riety, and one Of these may be used
in the marinade. Before dressing
for the table, drain of all the liquid
carefully, toss the vegetables together
and dress with oil and vinegar or may

MAKING CANDIES At HOME.
Flavor of Vanilla and Chocolate Most
in Favor.

The combined favor of vanilla and
chocolate seems particularly pleasing
TO the American palate, and when pre-
pairing sweets for home consumption
or sale the amateur candymakeT will
do we'll to bear this fact in mind.
Here are some reliable recipes for
chocolate sweets that are sure to find
ready sale:
Chocolate kisses-For this sweet
powdered or confectioners' sugar
Xxx is best Pound together in a
mortar one pound of the sugar and
two ounces-Or squares-of unsweet-
ened chocolate. When thoroughly
mixed pass through a fine sieve and
add the whites of two eggs beaten TO
a stin froth. Have ready a sheet of
tin without any sides and covered
with buttered paper. Drop the mix
ture on this, heaping teaspoon at a
time and bake slowly.
Chocolate macaroOns-Grate four
ounces of unsweetened chocolate and
sift with one and one-half pounds Of
powdered or cOnfectioners' sugar
Blanch and grind in your meat chop
per y ounces of sheiied almonds.
This means that the almonds must
be weighed after shelling, not before.
Beat the whites of three eggs to a stiff
froth. Mix the above ingredients and
a teaspoon of vanilla together in a
porcelain bowl, drop on buttered pa
per and bake in a moderate oven.
Chocolate fudge-Place in a pOrce-
lain saucepan one pound of granulated
sugar, half a teacup of sweet milk, one
level tablespoon of butter, two ounces
or squares of unsweetened chocolate,
and boil for about Is minutes. Re
move from the fire, add one teaspoon
of vanilla and beat with a fork until
it begins to cool Do not stir while
cooking. Pour into butteTed square
tins to the depth of half an inch. Be
fore it gets cold dip a knife into ice
water and mark off into squares.
1t will be noticed that square tins
are advised for cooling, because then
there is no waste in ill-shapen sweets.

Homemade Sleeve soard.

A homemade sleeve board for iron
ing sleeves and shoulders Of shirt
waists and children's dresses can be
made from one good straight bed slat,
two large empty spools such as
basting thread comes on. two one-inch
screws, size 8, that have round heads.
Cut one piece from the slat, measuring
q inches, leaving rs inches for the
other. With a sharp knife round on
the four corners of the longest piece,
making one end narrower than the
other. Place a screw three inches
from either end of the longer piece,
leaving the heads of the screws to be
inserted in the hole of the spoOls,
which are glued two inches from the
end of the straight piece.

Baked AppIe Pudding.

Baked puddings are necessary 10 the
happiness of many men. To make an
apple souffie pare, core and stew four
tart apples in just enough water to
prevent burning. Pass through sieve.
Put one tablespoonful of butter into
saucepan, add four tablespOOnfuls Of
cornstarch and one tablespoonful OF
-four, one-fourth of a teaspoOnful Of
salt, four tablespoonfuls of cold water,
stir and cook until clear. Add one
cupful of hot apple pulp sweetened TO
taste and one teaspoonful of lemon
Juice. Remove from the fire and add
three well-beaten yolks of eggs, then
cut and fold in the well-beaten whites
Pour into a buttered baking dish and
bake until pulled and delicately
brown. Serve at once.

Kitchen Ventilation,

The kitchen should be ventilated
many times a day, certainly at III
times of cooking. Reeking OdOrs Of
hot foods should be given speedy out
let for three reasOns-tO keep the food
untainted. TO keep the kitchen clean
and to make the housewife comforta-
bic. The dining room and living rooms
should be aired once a day, as well as
all halls and windows thrown as wide
open as is consistent witt the weath-
er. But the blow of fresh air through
the house should never be forgotten.

THREE RECIPES FOR scALLoPs.
Stewed, Fried, or Made into Salad,
They Are All Good.

Stewed scallOps are veTy nice and you
can use the small ones for that pur-
pose. Heat one quart of milk in
double boiler, put one-half cup of hot
water into a granite pan, add one
quart of scallops, bring to a good
sharp boil, and cook for three minutes
Add them to the hot milk. Season with
pepper, salt and if liked a bit of
mace, Soften up one-fourth pound of
butter and when he stew has come
to a scald, put in the batter, but do
not allow it to boil Serve with oyster
crackers crisped up in the oven and
red cabbage sIaw.
Scallop Salad-Boil one quart of
scallops in salted water, drain and
cool Cut up in small pieces, arrange
on lettuce leaves, pouring over any
dressing yoS may prefer. I use my
regular mayonnaise of oil and eggs
and made in the regular way. You can,
however, use a boiled dressing if you
choose. It's quite as good as many
salads that are more fancy.
Fried scallops are as a rule liked
as well as any form of cooking them.
Wash and dry on a clean towel. Dip
in beaten egg and seasoned cracker
dust or fine crumbs. Place in frying
basket and plunge in boiling deep fat.
They ought to cook in four minutes.
They can also be fried in pork fat.
Garnish with lemon points and pars-
ley. Tartar sauce is also served by
many with fried scallops. Scallops
can be baked with bread or cracker
crumbs, similar to oysters. Any rule
you use for escalloped oysters is safe
to use, only season a little higher.

Smothered Perch.

Clean and carefully dress u large
white perch. Put a thin slice Of fat
salt pork on each fish, and cover with
a thin layer of finely chopped onions.
Arrange in baking pan that can be
covered, put into the oven and bake
slowly. Just before the fish are done
season well with salt and pepper.
Pour over the fish hot cream or milk
with plenty of butter.

Annie Fritters,

One pound and a quarter of flour,
four eggs, one pint and a half of milk.
Beat the yolks until light, add the
milk and flour. Whisk the whites and
stir them in gently.
Pare the apples, remove the cores
without dividing them.
Cut the fruit in thin round slices,
take a spoonful Of batter, put a piece
in the center and drop it into hot lard
and fry light brown.
Serve hot with butter and sugar
sauce, or whatever sauce is preferred.
