Christmas Candies.

Editor Social Corner: In the rural
 districts, where stores are not plenty and Christmas candy is not always
 easy to obtain, many times one is forced to make candy for the young people, for a Christmas without candy would never be forgotten by the
 whole family, the old as well as the young, and as The Bulletin has called
 for candy recipes l am sending in few to help add to the collection of
 recipes of sweets which will be gent
 in for the next two weeks. It is well to remember that some fine Christmas
 candies can be made in the country as
 well as in the city.
 Cream Chocolate Caramels: Mix to-
 sether in 6 granite ware saucepan half
 a pint of sugar, half pint of molasses,
 half a pint of thick cream, one gener-
 ounces of chocolate. Place on the fire
 and stir until the mixture rolls. Cook
 until d few drops of it will harden if
 dropped into ice water; then pour into
 well buttered pans. having the mixture
 about three -fourths of an inch deep.
 When nearly cold, mark into squares.
 It will take almost an hour to boil this
 in a granite ware pan but not half so
 long if cooked in an iron frying pan.
 Stir frequently while boiling. The
 caramels must be put in very cold
 place to harden.
 Chocolate Creams: Beat the whites
 of two eggs to a stiff froth. Gradual ly beat into this two cupfuls Of con- fectioners' sugar. If the eggs be large
 it may take little more sugar. Flavor with half & teaspoonfuI of vanilla and work well. Now roll into little balls and drop on a slightly buttered platter. Let
 the balls stand for an hour or more. Shave five ounces of chocolate and put into a small bowl which place on the fire in a saucepan containing boiling
 water. When the chocolate Is melted take the saucepan to the table and drop the creams into the chocolate. one at a time, taking them out with a fork and dropping them gently on & butter ed dish. It will take half an hour or more to harden the chocolate.
 A few suggestions in regard to choc- olate: The best flavor to add to choco- late is vanilla; next to that, cinnamon Beyond these two things one should use great caution, as 1t Is very easy to spoil the fine natural flavor of the bean Chocolate absorbs odors readily, there fore it should be kept in d pure, sweet atmosphere. As about II per cent. of the chocolate bean is starch, chocolate and cocoa are of much finer flavor if boiled for 8 few moments. Long boil ing, however, ruins their flavor and texture.
 Chocolate Candy: One cupful of mo- laSseS, two cupfuIs Of sugar, one cup of milk one-half pound of chocolate a piece of butter half the size of an egg Boil the milk and molasses together scrape the chocolate fine and mix with i just enough of the boiling milk and molasses to moisten; rub it perfectly smooth; then with the sugar stir into 1 the boiling liquid; add the butter and 1 boil twenty minutes Try as molasses candy and if it hardens pour into a buttered dish, cut the same as nut candy.

To Preserve Corn on the Cob.

0 FresefVe Oofn on tHS OoD-
 Wash the stripped fresh ears and pack into jars. Would say that l use the 2-quart Economy jar.
 Cover the corn with clear cold wa ter. put covers on jars, place in wash boiler and boil for five hours, as corn is one of the most difficult vegetables to keep. I test the jars for ten days and at the end of that time if the covers remain on firm you can rest as- sured that your corn will keep nicely for as long a time as you may want to keep it. When wanted for use. take from the jar and plunge into boiling, salted water for ten minutes; take up, put on a platter, on which you have placed a dinner napkin, leaving one half the napkin to cover over the corn; send to the table steaming hot, and during the holiday this is quite treat, as it Is just as nice as the corn we cook fresh in August.

Addresses Arctic Club of Seattle
at Wickersham-Nagel
Smoker.

SEATTLE WASH, Sept. S.-Secretary
of the Interior Ballinger. at the Arctic
Club smoker given in honor Of Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Nagel and
Attorney General Wickersham, last
night spoke bitterly of his detractors.
with my consciousness of rectitude
of my every act, in private and pub
lie, and my determination to go forward
in the same path. l do not fear .he
criticism of any man or set of men.
said the secretary. 1T has been said
that criticism of me, whether true CT
untrue, has made me unfit to hold office.
If this is the case. then every public
man may be disqualified by the attacks
of the disingenuouGs, the hypocrite ard
the fanatic.
II do not propose to enter plea OF
guilty, because there Is not one par
ticle of truth in all the allegations
brought against me. and l shall take
none of your time in making defense.
for in this community l need no de-
fense."
Secretary Ballinger was received with
long applause from his hearers when
introduced by United States District
Judge Cornelius Hanford, who made
the Ballinger-Pinchot committee meet
ing in Minneapolis yesterday the sub
ject of his discourse.
The judge declared that Mr.. Ballinger
had been singled CUT as an "object OF
the maievolence of muckrakers" and
denounced the action taken at Mime
apolis today as IAN outrage un-
paralleled."
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Nagel referred humorously to the po-
litical events that had taken place in
their six weeks abse@>e in Alaska.
Mr.. Nagel said he hoped that none of
the new Republican platforms con-
tained a declaration in favor of the
free coinage of silver
Mr. Wickersham said that Alaska
h / not received proper consideration
at the hands of Congress. The ques-
tioi of the development of Alaska's
resources was not for him to decide,
but for Congress. The time for giving
a,5ay national assets had passed, he
said.
Mr.. Nagel spoke of the need Of local
elf-government in Alasks. He favored
representatives with authority and
discretion because in a country so far
reno, d Ions distance government was
peculiarly dangerous and ineffective.
He would have officials who could say

REPUBLICANS ANXIOUS
TO DODGE TAX INCREASE,

In regard to the County Board OF
Taxation's refusal to fix a tax rate for
the City of Orange until something is
done by the Common Council of that
place in the matter of providing extra
funds for use of the fire department OF
the place, it is contended by the fire
commissioners that % run the depart
ment for the remainder of the year Ii
will be necessary to have about $4,000
additional.
An effort was made to have the tax
budget, recently compiled, reopened
but nothing was done. The Republi-
cans, now in control do not want 20
have the rate of tax any higher than
possible. 1t is generally admitted that
the money Is needed by the depart
ment commissioners who are reported
to have said that they will resign II
the money Is not forthcoming.
The Republicans would be willing, 1t
Is said to give a note for $4,000, and
the money to be paid next year, when
the Democrats will likely be in con-
troll, but the latter look upon this
proposition with scorn and will fight
to have it included in the budget just
now before the Council.
| Councilman Harry w. Bergman,
chairman of the finance committee of
the Council, has stated that the fire
department will be taken care of when
It's funds give out. but does not state
just how.

P. s. R. SCORED
BY 9TH WAROERS
FOR BAD SERVICE
Alexander r. FOrdyce Writes
Letter to Board of Works
Complaining of Car Barns.

Alexander r. Fordyce, on behalf OF
the Eighth Ward Improvement AS
sociation. communicated with the
Board of Works today complaining
against what he declared was the nui-
sance caused by the cars of the Public
Service Railway Company being run
during the early morning and late night
hours in the vicinity of the Belleville
avenue car stables.
Empty cars run near this stable he
declares, and are a menace to life and
limb, a detriment to adjacent prop
erty and injurious to public nealth.
The constant squeaking of the brakes
and wheels, he says, awakens residents
as they pass,
Continuing, his letter reads:
empty cars run about every minute
and -minute-often at dangerous
speed, around midnight and early MORN
ing, when there is not soul aboard
to enjoy a monopoly of all the seats
and all the hanging straps-except oc-
casionally one lonely, belated indi-
vdual, who doubtless enjoys the luxury
to the fullest extent; but that is not
public service.
''The roaring squealing, squeaking,
grinding, Gathering brakes are,insuffer-
able and excruciating and are heard for
blocks away; they are ten times worse
this year than ever before; the brakes
seem to be worn out, the men incapable
or the companys arrangements incom-
petent and stingy.
1.-THE people who suffer nominally
own the streets, and many of the resi-
dents urge the circulation of another
petition. while others suggest taking it
before the grand jury, because 1t is an
abuse of the franchise, which was
granted for legitimate purposes and not
to be turned into a public permanent
nuisance
THE people are driven to despera-
tion and some from their houses by
this P. S. r. nuisance. Noise, especially
unnecessary noise, is public nuisance
and the Board of Public Works should
see that these things are corrected
Why should the public be tormented by
mercenary corporation who cares
nothing for them except to get theii
money for as poor a service as they
will put up with; corporation which
has heretofore extracted many millions
of dollars from the people, so far as
the public are concerned, will never
change; will never give proper service
except compelled
In order to obviate the running OF
empty cars night and day over the
streets for miles, when there are nc
passengers to transport, the P. S. r
should provide stables at each end OF
the route. The wear and tear on theil
cars, and the power required to prope
all these empty cars, would pay for the
extra car barns required in two years
and furnish better service to the pub.

COUNTY TAX BOARD
REFUSES TO NAME
RATE FOR ORANGE
Inadequate Amount in Budget
for Fire Purposes Cause
of Delay.

TIE County Board of Taxation today
refused to fix a fiat tax rate for the
city of Orange, because of information
received tat the amount contained in
the local tax budget fer fire purposes
was inadequate for the proper main
tenance of the department during the
year.
AS told in the STAR, Mayor Sey-
mour has repeatedly urged the Board
of Aldermen to increase the appropria-
tion, and members of the fire depart
ment have threatened to resign unless
this was done.
Serious complications may follow to-
days action Of the county board un-
less the local Board of Aldermen re-
cedes from it's position. Just how the
tax budget may be changed at this
time is not shown.
west Orange Rate.
For West Orange the board fixed a
fiat rate of $2.35 on each 800 valuation.
This is a reduction of seven points, as
compared with the rate for 1909.
Montelair taxpayers are equally
lucky anu VIII pe Soheu upoh :" pay
only $3.50 on each 800 of the assessed
value of their property. This is a re-
duetion of five points from the rate
of last year.
Newark was less fortunate, the rate
of $1.9s, which was fixed yesterday. as
told in the STAR. being two points
higher than the rate for last year. The
increase was occasioned in part by the
operation of the law permitting remis-
sion on account of errors In the assess
ments of former years.
