have robbed the American people of

In a recent message to the New York
legislature, Governor Sulzer said: "Ont
of the most widespread of public griey-
ances in connection with the purchase
of stock arises from false or fraudn-
lent prospectuses, statements, or ad-
vertisements regarding corporate secur-
titles. Under our law as it now exists
it is difficult to bring to justice per-
sons who, by means of false and fraud
uIent statements, advertisements and
promises, deceive and wrong the In
vesting public. These deceiving prac-
tices have been attacked under the fed
eral laws, forbidding the use of the
mails for fraudulent purposes. I recon-
mend amending the law Of this state
so as to make it a criminal offense to
issue any statement, or publish any adj
vertisement. as to the value OF any
stock or other security, or as to the
financial condition of any corporation
or company, issuing or about to issue
stock or securities, where any promise
or prediction contained in such state
|ment or advertisement Is known to be
false or to be not fairly justified by
existing conditions
A bill has been introduced into the
New York legislature forbidding the
publication and circulation OF such raise
or misleading statements, and provid-
ing that the penalty should be inn
prisonment for three years, or hne
Of $4,000, or both. This bill probably
will become a law. But until 1t does
and until all the other states pass sim
liar ones, it behooyes the people at
large to be on their guard against the
|swindler.
We repeat the advice we gave In
former Talk" When you have saved
sufficient money to make an invest
ment worth while, consult banker or
newspaper in your community concern :
ling the wise disposition OF 1t. Never
put money into any investment prof
ferred by stranger without looking
him up carefully and getting sound and
unprecedented advice,

Good WAY to Wash Flannels'

Although one recipe for hard soap made
from "cracklingsY has already been sent
in, I publish the following excellent let
ter, including the directions for making
soap. Our housewives may select the
recipe which they prefer:
Il see a request for hard soap from
'cracklings' Here is mine. which think
is good. | have found that one can make
soap of grease that has salt in 1t:
Fresh tallow cracklings are best, Put
one gallon of cracklings into one and one
half gallons of soft water. Put into an
iron pot and let boil five minutes. then
slowly pour into 1t one can of lye. Pour
slowly. or it will boil over. Now stir all
for thirty minutes. Keep boiling all the
time. Take off the fire and stir constantly
until ii mixes and gets as thick as honey.
Spread white cloth in box and pour al
into 1t. Cover with a piece of old car
pet or quilt for "a hours. Lift out on a
board and cut in squares and place IN the
sun to dry.
"A good way to wash fiannels is to I'M
merce them in a solution of salt ana
water, cup and half of salt TO a DUCK
ct of water, which must be as warm as
the water in which these are to be washed
and rlnsed. Wash in good suds and rinse
in warm water that has in 1t just enough
white soap to make a light color. Squeeze
out and dry. They will look ike new
and be soft and fluffy.
.Here is my recipe for ice cream cake;
One-hAlf cup butter, one cup sugar, one
half cup cold water, whites of five eggs
two cups cake flour, two teaspoons baking
powder, one teaspoon lemon extract, one
teaspoon almond extract. Cream butter
and sugar, add water, then flour, when
should be sifted three times with the bak-
ing powder Add whites of eggs and
flavoring. DO not stir until all Is in. Bake
In two layers. M. A, ".

apples; cover with water and cook until
nearly done. Pour off two cups of juice

and use two drops. This amount will
make two glasses. Boil parings and
cores and add the water to the apples,
This makes a good apple sauce for imme-
date use. MRS. II. M. L."
Your recipe for mint jelly is q new one
to me, and l am sure that many readers
will be as grateful as I am for the inno-
walton. In telling how you use the cores
and parings for apple sauce you do not
say that you rub the whole mass through
a colander when stewed soft The tyro
in the culinary art may be puzzled on this
point. so | mention this straining process
for her enlightenment. Apple sauce made
from unpeeled apples is much better IN
flavor than that cooked without the par
ings. And the colander separates the
chaff from the wheat, or. to be literal, the
skins from the pulp. But would not tile
seeds from the cores run through the col
ander and should they not be extracted
from the coreS before these are added?
gladly give directions for picking pigs
feet:
Clean the feet cover with slightly salt
ed cold water, and bring to the boil. Boil
until tender. Pack in stone jars While
hot. and cover the Jars closely while pre-
pairing the liquid for 9iclxling. Into half
gallon of vinegar st,i a cup of granu-
lated sugar, dozen whole cloves,
