BEST OF CANDIED FRUITS
Many Delicious Varieties That May

the Year.

Seasonable fruits for preserving Just
now are sickel pears, sections of or

sugar, one cupful of water. and one
eighth teaspoonful of cream of tartar.
This is boiled until it will make soft
ball when tried in cold water. Then
the fruit is dropped in sufficient to
cover the surface Of the sirup. In
about ten minutes this should be
skinned out and more fruit put in
until all is cooked. Tender. Juicy
fruits may not take quite ten minutes,
while hard pieces like pineapple will
probably take longer. Care must be
taken not to puncture the outside COW

sirup will not candy II the juice be-
comes mixed with it.
When all the fruit is cooked 1t
should be drained and allowed to lie in
granulated sugar till dry.
Amber jelly is another delicacy out
of the ordinary that can be made at
this time Of year. The ingredients are
one grapefruit, one orange. one lemon
and granulated sugar. Inc trult Is
peeled. being careful not to remove
the white pulp with the skin. This
must be saved for the pectn (jelly-

After peeling. the fruit Is cut into
lengths. removing the white center of
the grapefruit, which Is very bitter.
The pulp with the skin Of the orange
cut fine is measured, and to each cup
full of pulp cupful of water is added.
This is put over the stove ard boiled
for five minutes: Then hot water is
added equal to one-quarter the amount
Of water originally added. When this
comes to boil the kettle is removed
from the stove and the contents meas

Chintx as an Armor in Household.

The vogue for chintz in dress has
led young matron who does her own
housework-and likes to look well
while doing it-into making set OF
work aprons and caps out of this dec
orative material.
The firm weave Of chintz makes 1t
an admirable dust-proof protection for
gown and hair and keeps fresh look.
Chintz does not wrinkle easily, and il
gay all-over design be chosen, 1t
will not look spotted for long while.
Dressed in her chintz apron and cap
to match. the young matron looks
pretty to a degree-more as though
arrayed for some fancy dress affair
than for mere work; a fact that
makes work go gayly.
Her aprons cover her gowns en-
tirely. They are tightly belted in at
the waist and furnished with a COM
modious pocket. An apron and cap
striped in inch bars of dark blue alter
mating with a pattern of green leaves
and yellow flowers on white back
ground make her favorite chintz ar
NOR against dust and soil.

ADVICE TO UNCLE SAM.

There is a certain queer old book
which was printed in England more
than a hundred years ago called. THE
Pleasant Art of Money-Catching." It
contains this good advice: First see
that your comings-in be more than
your layings-out." Suppose a man
were taking ten thousand dollars a
year over the counter of his store.
That might seem big to him. But II
he had to pay ten thousand and one
dollars for stock and rent and help
and fire, he would not be prospering,
but failing. Uncle Sam does get a
great deal Of money from the liquor
trafic. But he and we spend a very
great deal more in caring for its VIC
Tins. So this is bad business. and
when enough people have found it out
the liquor traffic will go. They are
finding 1t out very fast. Everybody
who has studied arithmetic can figure
out the reason for national prohibi-
ton. It is q matter of dollars and
cents.-Christine Timing.

Denver-The inventory of its prop
erty made by the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company
under the direction of the State Pub
lie Utilities Commission was careful
ly and conscientious!y made in the
opinion of Fred J. Rankin, electrical
expert for the commission.
He testified to that effect at the
hearing before the commission in
the investigation of the rates and
service of the company. He said the
inventory "is as accurate as is prac-
tical or necessary and should be ac-
cepted as correct"
The expert told OF the checks he
made on the vast work of itemizing
the corporations property. On the
general equipment he made checks ot
Alamosa, Boulder, Colorado. Springs,
Delta, Denver, Englewocd, Fort Col
Inns, Fort Morgan, Greeley, Littleton,
Longmont, Pueblo aid Sterling.
He found slight differences be-
tween his counts of various parts of
equipment and the counts of the con-
pany.
For instance, in count of 1927
poles he made in one district there
was a difference of 63-100 of 1 per
cent from the company's count, ne
said. In a count of cross-arms there
was a difference of 10 of l per cent.
Following the submission of tesri-
mony on the inventory Of physical
property, the commission adjourned
the hearing until Feb. IA. On that
date the introduction of testimony
will be begun in the matter of finan-
cial valuations of the companys
property-one of the most important

NO USE FOR IT IN FIVE YEARS.

A leading banker of Wisconsin
vouches for the following incident:
Within the past year the managers
OF a brewery in one of the smaller
cities of the state decided to build
new malt house at cost Of $4,000.
They commissioned their president to
60 to Milwaukee and effect loan
He naturally went to one of the big
brewery-controlled banks of that city.
The vice-president to whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly in the brew
ing business and had made a hand
some fortune in that business during
the palmy days before the drys had
begun to knock the big profits out of
it. He very wisely got out of the busi-
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
of the out-of-town brewer he was
promptly refused the loan. He ex-
claimed: Whats the matter? With
all this fine property we got, amt we
good for $25,000?"
Quick came the answer from the ex-
brewer-banker: "But what do you
want to use the $4,000 for?"
"To build malt house, SO we can
enlarge our business" said the brewer.
But, you fool, don't you know that
in five years you will have no use
whatever for a malt house, replied
