planned. Anyone can make them at
home, sisters, wives, mothers, sweet
hearts. And so easy to make. And
so easy to send-as easy to make as
fudge, as easy to mail as a letter. All
you have to do is to find little card
board box, put them in, tie it up. ad-
dress it and mail it; and you are sure
the boy is going to have right
wholesome treat"
Patriotic Mrs. Cameron was not mis-
taken in the practical nature Of her
idea. She had found something"
something bigger than new breakfast
food. And within six hours after her
arrival in Seattle, group Of the big
gest apple men in America had listened
to her story, accepted the idea, voted
the money for publicity, the adver-
Using men were set to work and
America was assured OF another whole
some food novelty, brand new, diff
ferent and altogether Of the highest i'm
portance.
They are simply new home
making CONNECTION, explained Mrs.
Cameron to the big apple men in the
offices OF the Northwestern Fruit Elk
change we'll known as the distributors
OF "Skookum" the advertised apple
To-day folks don't make up confec.
tons of fruit and sugar-they are max
ing all-sugar and butter candies, but
none with fruit. Now here we are told
by Mr.. Hoover to save the butter and
use more fruit. The Apple Allies
do both, and they give folks a chance
to make fruit CONNECTION; and that is
very very important. 1t is something
quite new"
The apple men decided it was worth
trying. 1t had the earmarks of being
practical. 1t meant the consumption
of more big red Washington apples.
1t meant not only encouraging the
making of the Apple Allies" for oul
boys in khaki, but also the making OIL
them by millions OF persons who would
send them to their friends for Christ
mas, birthdays, or other remembrance.
Easier to make and easier to send
than a cake" said one Of the apple
men. II the United States gets the
Apple Allies" habit, there wont be
Northwest apples enough to go around. "
The Apple Allies" can be made by
novice. The recipe is as follows,
and calls for really sound, good apples,
preferably of the Jonathan, Spitzenberg
Rome Beauty or Winesap varieties.
Make a syrup Of two cups granu-
lated sugar, one cup water, bring to
boil. Have ready one medium-size
apple, pared, cored, each quarter cut
into three pieces. Drop the twelve
pieces in the now boiling syrup, and
allow to cook or boil therein until they
are all transparent and tender, easily
pierced with straw. Remove from kettle
drain and place on waxed paper or
platter. Allow to remain "a hours,
then roll the allies in granulated sugar;
roll twice again at intervals Of "a hours.
II moisture accumulates on waxed pa
per renew it. Allow Allies after the
third rolling to remain on platter until
dry; keep in dry place thereafter ex-
posed to air, turning from time to
time. The amount OF syrup stated
will make five dozen Apple Allies"
five apples being used. Add boiling
water to syrup, as it thickens, to main
tain original consistency. When all
dry and crystalline in appearance pack
in box and send away to fyour boy in
Khaki or send il East for Christmas.
You may garnish with red Allies, cut
in small pieces, made by putting veg
etable coloring in syrup.
