CANDIES TO FOLLOW FEAST
CONNECTIONS That Are Sure to Please
II Care Is Taken In Cooking
and Mixing.
tsy MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN3

(By MARTHA ELLEN PERRYMAN)
First there are some hints 1t will be
we'll to observe If you hope for good
fortune in candy-making: Granulated
sugar is preferable, and always used
unless some other kind is specified.
Candy should not be stirred while boil
Ing. Cream of tartar should not be
added until the sirup begins to boil.
and butter should be put in when the
candy Is nearly done. F'lavors are
most delicate when not boiled with
the candy, but added when 1t is taken
from the fire, or when 1t Is being
pulled.
Butter Taffy.-Boil three cupfuls OF
brown sugar, one-half cupful of molas-
ses, and one-fourth cupful each Of
vinegar and hot water. When the
candy will crisp in cold water add two
teaspoonfuls of butter, cook three
minutes. flavor with teaspoonful Of
vanilla and cool in buttered pans.
HIekory-Nut candy.-Boil two cup
fuls of sugar and one-half cupful Of
water without stirring until the sirup
will spin thread" when poured from
the spoon. Flavor with extract Of
lemon or vanilla, set on into cold wa
ter, stir in one cupful of hickory-nut
meats, then into fiat tins, and when
cool cut in small squares.
Peppermints.-Boil two cupfuls Of
sugar and one cupful OF water without
stirring until the sirup threads from
the spoon. Remove from the fire and
beat with an egg-whip until white and
creamy, flavor with one-half teaspoon
full OF essence Of peppermints Qess II

in waters on waxed paper to harden.
You can make chocolate peppermints
by dipping the cream into melted
chocolate. Wintergreen, lemon, or
ange and other fiavors may be used
for the mints.
These candies are all easily made
and you will find 1t a pleasant pastime
to prepare at home the candies for the

II was not long until all the loose
ends were brought together. Jessie
Willard's aunt, Mrs. Devereaux. had
been the acting spirit in getting the
scheme for restitution under way. be-
cause-until she had induced him to
do so-Max Willard had been loath to
accept his old friend Temple Bonners
assistance.
In the beginning, the one thing clear
to all of them had been the fact that
the Man of Iron was protected by an
invulnerable legal barrier. and that II
redress was to be obtained at all it
must be accomplished by means OF
some surprising coup that would catch
the magnate amid such conditions
that he could not refuse to accede.

particularly after Paige
had met and become acquainted with
Jessie. She had consented to lend
Willard her moral support, believing
that her participation in the plot was
to extend no farther than "myster-
ious disappearance" which Willard
was supposed to utilize in some indefi.
mite manner for his own purposes.

which she had played SO conspicuous
a part, he had kept to himself. know

SEVEN METHODS OF SAVING
Some Good Uses for Utilization OF
Leftovers Which VIII Interest
the Housekeeper.

/. Save badly cut pieces of bread
and slices left over from the table for
bread pudding or Brown Betty.
Save every scrap and crust to crumb
up for stuffings or to use for breading
scallop dishes, croquettes, etc.
Q. Remove the sinew from the legs
of fowl when 1t is drawn and the
meat of the leg will be as good as that
of the second joint.
8. Cold rice should always be saved;
It can be added to a soup. mashed into
croquettes. mixed with eggs and fried
like hominy or used In a scallop dish.
4. Leftover vegetables. when the
amount is too small to be served
again. may be mixed with gravy for
a ragout, or used separately or togeth-
er for salad. Cauli6ower. potatoes
and cabbage are good broken in small
pieces covered with grated cheese and
baked in baking dish. Eau gratin." :
5. Small portions of leftover cereals
may be added to the pancake batter
and will greatly, improve the cakes.
Or they may be rolled into balls and
fried, or added to the soup stock. =,
chopped very fine, seasoned well with
pepper. salt, butter and little onion
Juice and formed into balls or cakes
for sautes or broiled for luncheon.
Scraps of white meat may be chopped.
mixed with white sauce warmed up
and garnished with parsley and hard:
boiled eggs. The carcasses of fowl and
the bones of roasts should be used
to make nourishing soup. Beef fat
and drippings and the fat from poul-
try should be clarified and kept for
frying. Wings and legs Of fowls that
are left over are good grilled for
luncheon.
z. Sour milk may be used for corn
bread. griddle cakes. ginger bread and
biscuits. 1t may be made into cream
cheese or turned into refreshing
drink by icing 1t and whipping 1t for
about five minutes with an egg beater.

we were busy at Court most of the
day. Only one hundred of the
voters took advantage of the OPP

received an even one hundred votes.
The new administration will take
charge of affairs on January 4th.
when the new Aldermen will be
sworn IN and the first meeting of
the council held. Several appli-
cants for the Office of chief of
police are canvassing the aldermen
and each claims a majority in the
council. The interest is mostly
conferred on this office as it is the
best paying one in the hands of
the administration and change is
said to have been decided on in the
entire police department.
