Doesn't Look Like War, But,

1t doesn't look like war in this town, does it
except for an occasional parade or brass band, or
flag raising, or something of that sort.
True, there is the Red Cross agitation and the
Liberty bonds-but there are no ruined homes,
nor torpedoed skyscrapers, and our streets are
just as they were before, and we go out to our
lunches as we always did.
The war is on the other side of the ocean, we
say So it is And we probably won't wake up
to the fact that we are really in the fight until
some of our own boys come back from the
trenches to be taken care of by the government
or by their own friends, until they ready to go
back
Perhaps then we will understand that France
is on her knees-and that England may soon be
hungry-and that if we don't wake up from our
sleep soon we will not be paying for Liberty
bonds but for war indemnities.

To Make Flaky Pie Crust.

Take three tablespoonful of flour TO
one heaping tablespoonful of lard or
lard substitute. This will make one
crust Add salt and little baking
powder, mix with fork, use cold
water, but not too much. Roll out the
top crust. spread lard on thinly, sift
flour over 1t and pat down thoroughly
with your hands. Before putting in
the oven dash cold water over the
pie. You Will be well repaid when
you see your f1aky pie. To sprinkle
the top of pie crust with little sweet
cream before baking viii make II
brown and haky. When rolling out
short pastry for pies roll it on waxsd
paper. You can then conveniently turn
the pastry onto the pie pan without
its breaking, as will often happen when
rolled out on the plain board. Use
little baking powder in the crust when
you do not want to bake pie every
day and it will keep the crust light.
Place a freshly baked pie upon an ele-
walton to cool with an undercircula-
ton of air. This will allow the bot
tom of the pie to cool quickly instead
of steaming. When serving hot mince
pie. place very thin slice of cheese
on each piece. 1t will gradually soften
from the heat of the pie and is very ap
petizing. When cold pie sticks TO
the pan 1t will come out easily If you
set 1t on the hot stove for a minute
Or two.

Peter Rabbit Has a Funny
Feeling.

Peter Rabbit sat in the far corner
of the Old Orchard. where. under an
old apple tree, Johnny Chuck has his
home. and, just as is always the case
when he goes there in winter, Peter
had funny feeling. It was sort of
a creepy feeling. The fact is Peter
never could get used to the fact that
somewhere deep down in chamber
at the end of that hole Johnny Chuck
was asleep and would remain asleep
until the coming of sweet Mistress
Spring.
He knew it was so. Anyway, every
body said ii was so. Besides there
never was a sign of Johnny Chuck
during the months of snow and ice, but
each year Johnny Chuck appeared in
his doorway very sleepy. very thin
and knowing nothing at all about what
had been going on during the winter
SO Peter was forced to believe that
what everybody, including Johnny
Fhuclr himself, said was true must be
so. But that didn't help him under
stand it, and SO whenever he came that
way and thought of Johnny Chuck
somewhere down below fast asleep he
had a funny feeling.
1t was SO now. Peter sat and stared
at Johnny Chuck's doorway partly
filled with snow, and tried to imagine
what it would be like to sleep day
after day and week after week and
month after month without once
waking up and without once eating.
1t was this last that always was too
much for Peter. You know, Peter
thinks much Of his stomach. He could
in a way picture to himself a long.
long sleep, but when he tried to imag-
inc going all that time without eating
it always was too much for him and
made that funny feeling funnier than
ever.
Sammy Jay happened along as Peter
sat staring at Johnny Chuck's door
way,
thinking of making a call on our
old friend2' he asked.
No! Oh, no. No indeedT' exclaimed
Peter, looking a bit startled and back
ing away a. few steps. Il hadn't

Candies Made With Little Sugar.

Those who are planning to make
holiday candies should be provided
with a wire heater, which can be used
TO dip chocolate drops and handle
other candy. Get a piece OF wire about
twenty inches long. fern little loop
at ore end about the size of a spoon
and shape 1t oblong. Twist the remain
ing ends Of the wire together for a
handle This makes an excellent beat
er and Will be very convenient for dip
ping chocolates especially, as they can
drip from the wire.
Children hold peanut candies in high
favor, and 1t isn't really Christmas
unless they have enjoyed the fragrance
Of boiling moiasses or brown sugar
and watched the LIQUID cool over the
tempting peanuts Grind one cup OF
blanched almonds and the same amount
of peanuts in the food chopper. Make
st q rich fondant with light brown
sugar or strip and milk Stir the
fondant constantly until II forms ball
OF wax when tested in cold water Ee-
move 1t from the fire and stir until II
foams. A little cream of tartar will
assist in making it creamy. putting 1t
through the food chopper instead OF
kneading 1t will make Il very creamy
and il will be ready for molding IN 4
rnpch shorter time. Pour the ground
nuts into the candy and place all on
a battered pan. While warm cut the
candy into squares. Do not break the
.pfcces apart until cool. When cool dip
each piece into meited uhS"eetened
chocolate.
Molasses tary poured over chopped
dates makes delicious candy. Add
ninch of cream of tartar to make flaky
and beat constantly. The chopped
dates can be cooked in the mass, beaten
when removed from the stove and
turned into a buttered pan. Cut into
squares before quite cold.
To make coffee taffy use coffee to d.
lutte the molas ses. Cook in the usual
way and pull the same as the old
fashioned variety. Pull over a meat
hook fastened to the kitchen wall. You
will find it pulls more quickly and
will be more aaky when cold. Unless
filled with air cells IL will be tough
AS 1t begins to stiffen. roll the candy
In ground nuts and break into desired
lengths.
Take one pound of dates, one pound
of seeded raisns, one pound of figs and
