or squares and wrap in waXed paper.
Here few points to be observed ::
Use only the best materials. Buy high
grade fiavoring extracts and colors. They
cost a little more. but much smaller
quantities are required, and the flavor
and appearance of candies made with
them are far superior-they look better
and taste better than candies made with
cheap extracts and colors.
Use the best graduated sugar-the fine
grained sort. Also use the best cream of
tartar obtainabe and use no more than
directed. The purpose of using cream or
tartar is to convert a portion of the cane
sugar into grape sugar, which makes
the cream soft and smooth and helps to
IL
crumbly Grape sugar is simply glucose,
and candy manufacturers use the glu-
cose with sugar. instead of using cream
of tartar. All sugar that goes into the
human stomach must be converted there
into grape sugar or glucose before it can
be assimilated-the chemical laboratory
of the mouth and stomach changes or con-
verts it-sO you see that glucose cannot
be harmful or innutritious. II you wish,
you can use glucose in your candies, using
half sugar and half glucose; but be sure
to get a pure, clear grade Of glucose, or
the finished product will not be so good
or so nice looking.
To make stuffed dates take raw fon
dant, flavor and color as desired, and
knead il till it is soft. Take the seeds
from the dates, pinch off bits OF the pre-
pared fondant, stuff the bits into the
places where the seeds have been, draw
the edges close again, so that narrow

Travelling through the state OF Iowa
the other day, and Iowa is no excep-
ton to the story about to be related
the writer was shown a farm that was
offered three years ago for $3.50 an
acre. That appeared to be a high fig
ure for land upon which the owner
depended upon the cross of corn, hogs
and cattle that could be raised upon
II. But 1t wasn't. A few weeks since
the farm changed hands at 1926 an
acre. Over in Illinois, down in In
diana, up in Wisconsin, across the
line in Minnesota, the same expert
ence was met with. And then atten-
ton Is directed to Canada, which has
been the Mecca Of so many hundred
thousand Americans during the past
few years. Not only In Eastern Can
ada has the price OF lands increased,
but In Western Canada, during the
past few weeks, farm lands have IN
creased from three to five dollars an
acre, with the prospect OF a similar
advance during the next three months.

and in a few words 1t may be pointed
out that the lands are worth q great
deal more than the present prices.
The Northwestern Agriculturist OF
Minneapolis, q paper that vas n OF
the first Of the American farm papers
to discover the real merits of the
lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta, says: 'The reciprocity sched'
ule would encourage American farm
ers to move to Canada, where the vir.
gin soil will produce greater crops OF
grain with less labor than can be pro
duced in our own farms In the North,
west. The result will be to enhance
land values in Canada" This paper
Ia afraid land values In Canada will be
enhanced at the expense OF land
values in the United States. In face
Of the fact that land values in the
United States are increasing the rea
soning scarcely holds. The reason for
the advance In value Of Canadian
lands is partly accounted from the
fact, admitted by this paper, that Can
ada's virgin soil will produce greater
crops of grain with less labor" But
that Is not the only reason. During
the past twelve months 100000 PEG
pie have made Canada their home and
these are mostly of the farming class
They want farms, and the demand as
well as the wealth Of the soil is regu
lating the price. A study Of the In
crease in the acreage of land put un
der crop last year, which can be had
from any Canadian government repre-
sentative, will prove the point, thai
the demand is increasing at a greater
ratio than even the most sanguine
would have predicted.

lifted hammer Of the unwise and
belligerent parent, who insists that
my child" must be without faults,
and that the teacher who see faults
is an enemy, not a friend. 1t is sell
dom, indeed, that a man or a woman
occupying the position of a teacher is
prejudiced or has personal or selfish
motives for criticising a child.

$4,000 Of the cripples are in need Of
proper treatment. Doctor Biesalski
states that in Is per cent of the Grip

due to tuberculosis of the bones and
Joints, and that there were 10000
such children in great need of med
zeal treatment. He advocates the
establishment of seaside sanatoria for

He wore a long redingote, peculiar to

The court was convulsed, and the
