FAMOUS
WOMEN
Her
Birthday
And
Yours
October 10-IsabeIla II Of Spain,
Edna Dean Proctor.

One Of the most popular writers OF
patriotic American verse was a woman
Edna Dean Proctor. who was born on
October 10. 1888. Her birthplace was
Manchester, Mass, and a loyal New Eng
lander she remained all her life. One
Of her first poems. The White Slaves,
was read by Whittier with so much
pleasure that he wrote to the young au-
thor. unknown - him, and asked her to
visit him. "Co16mbis's Banner" q later
production became popular IN a day, and
IL has been q fayorite with schoolboy
orators ever since. The Song of the An
cient People, a poem in which she re-
fleets the spirit of the North Ameri-
can Indians, is another general favorite.
Another woman->whose birthday falls
on October 10 Is Isabella II, Queen of
Spain. who was born eighty-four years
ago today.
She was a woman of strong, IL some
what unconventional, personality. She
disliked The barrier OF court etiquette and
f9rmality and often disregarded II. But
she enjoyed to the full the pomp and
circumstance that went with her high
position.
She became queen OF spain on the death
of her father when she was only three
years old. her mother being appointed
queen regent. Spain was not used to
women rulers; In fact the Salic law.
which held good In that country. had
to be set aside In order to make her
queen. and the country was divided
against her. Her uncle. who under the
old law would have taken the throne
at the death OF Isabella's father, headed
the opposition and made her position
uncertain for many years.
When the queen was only thirteen she
was declared to have attained her ma
jority. and three years later she married
her cousin. Finally after thirty-seven
years Of continual internal dissentIon she
abdicated In favor OF her son, Alfonso
XIII. the present Kings father, and fed
to Paris, where she spent her declining
days until her death ten years ago.

furious. But be sure that the candy your
children eat is pure and fresh. Down at
the little store on the corner where the
children go with their pennies at recess
you may be reasonably safe in assuming
the candy is often far from what it ought
to be. In your own kitchen at a slight
expense the children's candy can be made
easily and safely. ..
Molasses candy that puIls-with mo-
lasses candy the best part comes with the
pulling. and though to our grownup tastes
there does not appear TO be much fun in
getting our fingers into a lump Of sticky.
warm candy and pulling 1t long and pa
still candy pulling is one of the accepted
joys of childhood. To make a very good
pulling candy, you will need one cupful Of
molasses. three cupfuls of granulated su-
gar, one cupful Of vinegar. one teaspoon
full Of cream Of tartar. one-half cupful OF
melted butter, one-half teaspoonful Of
baking soda. and. IL delicious flavor is
desired. a teaspoonful of rose. extract If
possible you should have a sugar ther-
mometer-for that matter no kitchen Is
well equipped without a sugar thermome-
ter. Mix the molasses with one cupful OF
boiling water in a large pan and add the
vinegar and sugar. Allow IL to boil and
then add the cream OF tartar. Continue
boiling till the candy is fairly solid when
tested in cold water. Add the baking
soda and the butter. and leave the candy
over the fire, stirring slowly, till 1t be-
comes brittle when poured In cold water
or. better, till It sends the Thermometer
to the 20 degree point. The extract is
added last of all. and the candy should
be poured out on buttered pans. and when
cool enough to handle IL should be pulled.
This recipe is somewhat more compli-
Gated than the usual rule for pulled mo-
lasses candy, but 1t is wen worth the ex-
ira trouble. Children. by the way. be-
come quite adept at making candy, and
they can often manage complicated rule

: Condensed milk candy-To make a very
wholesome candy mix two and one-balf
cupfuls OF sugar with one cupful OF wa

till dissolved. Add three tablespoonfuls
Of condensed milk and a pinch OF cream
Of tartar and stir constantly over the fire
till the candy reaches 80 degrees on the
sugar Thermometer. II you have no ther-
mometer. this point will be indicated by
having the candy turn to a soft ball when
tried in cold water. Have a deep earthen
dish ready moistened with cold water
Pour candy into the dish and when half

or q little rose extract Now beat the
mixture tin It Is creamy, and then krleed

aside for an hour. Shape in rounds and

10 SET COLoRs.

It is said that If pink. lavender and
blue fabrics are soaked for two hours
in a pail Of water to which one ounce
of sugar Of lead has been added, then
dried before washing, the color will not
fade. Green needs a little alum in the
water. Dissolve about a teaspoonful OF
powdered alum in gallon OF soft tepid
water. Wet the fable well with the soIu-
ton and then wash in warm water. Never
use hot water and do not use soap.
Oxgau will keep gray or brown from
fading. When washing tan, brown, fax,
bun or linen color, use hay water which
is made by pouring boiling water over a
handful Of hay. For purples and the
brighter shades Of green, put half a cup
ful Of vtnegart into the water Rinsing

Washington, D. c.. June 81. H.
Newell. director Of the reclamation
service, has returned TO washington
from an inspection trip to various irri-
Satlon projects In Colorado, New Mex
leo and Texas.
He said, Rapid DEVELOPMENT of irrf-
gated areas, and substantial improve
ment OF the farms are to be noted
everywhere. The year 1914 promises
TO De the best ever known in the
"A pleasing feature in the general
progress IS the character Of farm homes
which are rapidly replacing the early
shacks Of the pioneers. Farming every

Dive-sihcatlon OF crops. the introduce
ton OF registered livestock. the build
ing OF cooperative canneries. cream
cries. and the organization Of associa-
tons OF farmers for marketing farm
products, establishing graded country
schools, good road building and rrauv
other activities which promote the
general welfare OF the communities are
in evidence.
"As a rule throughout the arid region
the prices for farm products have been
good for the past season. NOtwith-
standing these favorable conditions
land values are lessening. Indicating
the end OF the boom period and the
ushering in Of an era of realty vaIua-
ton based on the productive capacity
OF the farms There are numerous on
pOrtunities now for practical farmers
to secure land at prices which are
reasonable and on liberal terms, but
do not regard conditions as favOring
the purchase OF lands as an invest
ment only. The profit in the transac-
ton will come only from the careful
and intelligent cultivation. Experience
has shown that non sident land own
ers are not getting rich by leasing their
holdings. It's the chap on the small
farm, digging everlastingly at it. who
is forging ahead and laying the f0unda-
tons for future independence. The
government has only a few irrigated
farms to offer settlers just now. Later
in the fall additional units will be
made available in Montana, wyoming
and Nevada and those 40 and so acre
farms will make good homes for real
