TWO ICE CREAM RECIPES.

Coffee and caramel creams made with
custard foundation.-To prepare the latter
melt three tabespoonsfuls II granulated
sugar with a quarter OF a cupful OF water
and cook the syrup 20 a dark brown cara
mel. stirring constantly to prevent burn
ing. Add gradually two cupfuls Of boiling
water and a cupful OF sugar, and let the
syrup cook rapidly for fifteen minutes In
the meantime. put a pint OF milk over to
boil In a double boiler add the caramel
syrup and when Il reaches the boiling
point add the beaten yolks OF three eggs
LET the custard boil up once, stirring all
the time to prevent curdling. Then remove
from the fire. let IL cool. add a pint OF
cream and freeze.
The success OF coffee ice cream Is naturally
dependent on the quality OF the coffee used.
French cooks use a pulverzed Mocha and
impart the flavor by infusion. Put a pint
OF milk in a double boiler ana when K
reaches the boiling point add the yolks OF
six eggs that have been beaten up with
cup OF granulated sugar. Cook until II
coats the spoon, then remove from the nre
and cool Heat pint of cream TO the
boiling point. and then add a heaping table
spoonful Of powdered Mocha coffee Re-
move 10 the back OF the stove. cover with
q nspkin and let the coffee infuse In the
cream FOR half an hour. Strain the cream
thro,Ieh cheesecloth add 20 the custard and
freeze.

SUPERFLUOUS HAIR
Should Never Be Removed
With Poisonous, Pasty
Compounds Because
They Are Danger
Gus and In
crease the
Growth

The nreparati tions above referred TO are
invariably in the form OF creamy pastes.
These are easily recognized by their pare
grayish- greenish color. They are 10 pe
spread upon the skin TO remain untll they
are dry. These contain Sulphide or Bar
hm an insouble chemical, which cannot
be dissolved. therefore cannot be ao-
sorbed by the skin. The very fact that
Won are told to leave these pasty COM
pounds on the skin until they dry ana
cake and then lift off with a knife is
proof positive that they are not ABSORBED
If they are why do they still remain on
the skin? The most they can possibly DO
Is to remove the surface hair. which In
consequence will reappear stronger ana
thicker after each removal.
There is only one logical and scientific
way to remove hair and that IS by means
Of a liquid containing soluble ingredients
which can be absorbed by the skin. De
Miracle known all the World over as the
only real superftuous hair remover, IL
lust such q preparation. 1t is easily and
quickly absorbed and after you have used
It you will note there Is nothing left on
the skin II leaves the skin free from
Irritation, and what is more to the point,
It IS absolutely non poisonous, therefore
it will not produce eczema or blood pois-
oning Remember, no matter what claims
are made to the contrary, no poisonous,
pasty compound or so-called liquid
cure" ever did or ever will destroy
single hair root and we can prove 1t.
The extravagant claims recently made
by unscrupulous manufacturers or hair
removers in sensational advertisements
unquestionably justify physicians in eau
tioning the public against the use OF this
class OF depilatories. How many people
have been enticed into using these dan
gerous preparations with consequent in
Jury to themselves cannot be estimated
but only guessed at, therefore beware Of
fake free advertisers and others, who by
wording OF their advertisements, try to
give the impression that newspapers and
other reputable publications endorse their
worthless preparations. Don't be deceived
by them. De Miracle is the only prepa
ration which Is so endorsed.
De Miracle is sold at all good stores
including Hegeman e. Co, 200 Broadway,
and Branches; Frederick Loeser & Co.
Brooklyn.
No honest dealer will offer you a sub
stitute on which he makes more profit.
