MAKING IMPROVEMENTS
Conditions in the Village for
Season of 1908 Make a
Showing for Betterment of
Property.

The improvements during the
building season of 1908 in Eagle
River point to a betterment in
the condition and enhancement
IN appearance and valuation of
residence property in the con
fines of the village.
Heretofore there has been a
stagnation in improvements to
such an extent that the town has
showed a decided seedy appear
ance, but with the opening of the
building season now coming to
a close a change for the better
became noticea ble-repairs upon
buildings, together with the ap-
plication of paint has raised the
standard so that now the village
is beginning to appear as one
which is liable to stay upon the
map and with no let-up SO far as
improvements are concerned.
A conservative estimate upon
lumber for remodeling purposes
only mot new buildings) places
the amount expended at a trife
better than $4,000, while for
paint it is a safe estimate that
500 worth of the liquid has
peen put to use. When one con-
siders that only a small portion
of residences and business build
ings have been operated upon,
the amounts expended are not SO
diminutive after all, and those
who have bettered the existing
conditions this year are to be
commended for their enterprise.

CHRISTMAS CHEER
AS Ever 1t Calls on the Housewife for Sweets, Pies.
and All the Rest of the Good Things

newest of store candies may be made
at little cost. These are the peanut
creams and chocolates that are now in
such high favor, To attain this mas
terpiece take some peanut butter, and,
after sailing 1t slightly, shape 1t into
the forms desired. Some of these may
be rolled in fondant and served plain;
others may be covered with chopped
nut meats; some may be dipped into
melted chocolate, or they may be
treated in any manner that the in
genuity of the amateur candymaker
may suggest, In any form, however
they are quite as delicious as the can
dies that are sold in stores.
A rruit and nut delicacy that cannot
fail to appeal TO the housewife at
Christmas time is made by choppfng a
cup of nut meats with two cupfuls OF
dates, half cupfol of figs, and half
cupful of Maraschino cherries that
have been drained free from liquor.
When chopped, and they should not
be chopped too fine, mold into the
shapes desired, and dip each piece into
syrup made by boiling half pound
of sugar with half pint of water until
it will harden like candy. Slices of
orange or pineapple. and dates, figs or
any kind of nuts may be coated in the
same manner.
Now that maple sugar may be OBJ
tanned without great difficulty, an ex-
cellent candy may be made by boiling
three cupfuls with cupful and half
of sweet milk and half tablespoon
full of butter for about ten minutes. At
the expiration of this time beat with
spoon until the mixture is both
creamy and thick 1t may then be
spread in buttered tins to cool, or, for
the sake of variety, the candy may be
divided into three equal portions, one
part to be served plain, another mixed
with nuts, and the third with chopped
candied cherries.
Sailed nuts are now SO great
| fagorite that no elaborate dinner
would seem complete without them,
AS ordinarily prepared, however, the
sailing of nuts is quite serious task,
| but if the cook desires to save time IN
| cooking them she may attain the same
| result more easily by dropping them
! into a kettle of deep fat-lard by
| preference-and letting them remain
! from 10 to 10 minutes. When done,
they must be drained thoroughly be-
fore being sailed 70 taste, and they
viii be found to be just as palatable
as the nuts that have been prepared
! by the far more laborious process.
| If you are in search OF a novelty, in
