housewife who excels In the making OF

more suitable and welcome gift for the
bachelor men and maids OF her ac-
ouaintance than small pudding. fruit
cake. Christmas cookies. crullers or
candies. The CAKES should be attrac-

Christmas fashion. The woman who ID
able to supply things Of this sort might
create popular demand for them In
her neighborhood and swell her Christ
mas fund by their sale. The local wo-
mems exchanges can doubtless IND a
market for such material.
Cookies that have genuine holiday
flavor are made by combining chocolate
and fruit flavors. They will find favor
with the young people at least.
The cookies may be cut into many
fancy shapes and made attractive with
white or chocolate icing.

MINIATURE GOODIES.

Tiny Puddinss and Cakes Make Nice
Christmas Offerings.
One Of the most attractive holiday
novelties on the market last season was
q miniature plum pudding put up In a
dainty white pasteb0ard box. The pud-
ding was an inch and half or two
inches in diameter and rolled In oiled
paper tied together with red satin rib
bon. A piece Of holly was tackled to the
outside of the box. A tiny card bearing
the familiar Christmas greetings in
closed in the box made little souvenir
particularly appropriate to the season.
The plum pudding could be eaten. and
one little girl who received such q SOU

H. Some Interesting Talks Re-
garding the Art of
Credit Giving,

Credit gives US our beautiful coun-
| try, our progressive cities, our rail-
| roads, our mammoth enterprises and
the comfort of life simply because it
is a mater OF confidence.
| The principal of credit is the same
whether between governments, banks,
| firms or individuals.
! To have a charge account, or, in
other words, to buy on credit, whether
at the department store, tailor, dress
maker, butcher or grocer, is an honor
and one of the strongest points in your
favor is to protect. your good name by
meeting your obligations in the best
possible manner.

Honest dealings, honest merchan-

Our gradual payment system is a

in three words - confidence, good

have taught us that an honest person
no matter how limited his resources,
is a safe person to do business with.
and If the conditions are not difficult
or burdensome, such a person may be

COVERING FOR GRAIN STACKS
They viii Save Farmer Their Cost the
First Season and VIII Last
Five or Six Years.

A good investment for any farmer
who does not thrash from the stack or
store his hay in barns or sheds, is a
lot of stack covers.
They will save their cost the first
season, and if kept in the barn when
not in use will last five or six years.
Covers are used a great deal in the
eastern states, where the value of any
thing raised on the farm is more keen
ly appreciated than on the big farms
Of the west.
But they will pay anywhere.
There is no more reason why good
grain or hay should go to waste on a
big farm than on a small one.
Get covers of heavy canvas about IL
x24, or 16 feet square, and weight
down the sides.
They can be bought of any farm i'm.
plement house.
They will keep the top of the stack
dry and there will be no necessity of
throwing away a half dozen layers of
wheat, or a half ton of hay, which Is
generally done where the covers are
not used. l.. M. B.

I've seen a squad Of frothing dogs,
and dogs running around that looked
mad, and I've been bitten goodness
knows how many times, I've yet to see
a real mad dog.
I'm not afraid of rabies because

mad dogs is just piffie. People get ex-
cited and go into panic when

ought to be drinking places for dogs.

Pumpkln or Squash Pies.

In making pumpkin pies I make the
shell, first crimping the edge and
making sure the air is out from under
the crust. In the meantime have my
squash or pumpkin cooking on the
stove, pared and diced; when / can
pierce it with a straw I take 1t on
the stove and drain it through a col
ander; when perfectly dry, / rub. 1t
through colander with my hand. This
is my rule for pumpkin pies. l add
an egg for squash and leave out gin
ger, one and one-half cups pumpkin,
one and one-fourth cups milk, cooking
spoon -four, little nutmeg. salt and
ginger, one-eighth teaspoon of CHINA,
mon. l heat this all together and let
it stand perhaps twenty minutes, when
l heat it again and pour into shell.
Bake in slow oven, sometimes half a
day. My pies are dandies. Try 1t
and see how you get along. If your
pies boil they are spoiled. A squash
or pumpkin pie should bake at least
two hours to be really good.
