NEW CONVECTION |S
 MADE WITH APPLES


 Wenatchee, that Pacific Northwest city of big apple fame, last week took the train for Seattle, full of patriotic ardor, and with a new, big idea She carried in her grip several little card board boxes, and in those boxes slices of apples, sugary, lucidly transparent, crystalline like amber quartz, and she had ehristened them Apple Allies"
 To persons on the train she showed them, and she let them taste. and she confided her idea that these Apple Allies" were the very thing for folks to send to our boys in khaki" And they agreed with her-America' finest apples, that was all, cut into slices-a dozen slices to the apple-cooked in sugar syrup and afterwards rolled in granulated sugar.
 T made all these myself" she ex- plained. Anybody 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 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 a right wholesome treat"
 Patriotic Mrs. Cameron was not mis- taken in the practical nature of her idea She had found something"- somethine qger than a new breakfast food. sithin six hours of her arrival in -dttle, group of big apple men had listened to her story, accepted the idea, voted the money for publicity, the advertising men were set to work, and America was assured of another wholesome food novelty, brand new, different, and of high importance.
 New Home Candy
 'They are simply a new home making confection," explained Mrs. Cameron in the offices of the North western Fruit Exchange. Now folks do not make confections of fruit and sugar they are making all-sugar and butter candies, but none with fruit. Now here we are told by MT. Hoover to save the butter and us more fruit. The Apple Allies do both, and they give folks chance to make fruit confec- tion; and that is very very important. It is something quite new"
 The apple men decided it was worth trying It had the earmarks of being practical. It meant the consumption of more apples. It meant not only en- couraging the making of the Apple Allies for our boys in khaki, but also the making of them by millions of per sons who would send them to their friends for Christmas, birthdays, or other remembrance.
 The Apple Allies" can be made by novice. The recipe is as follows, and calls for sound. good apples:
 How to Do It
 Make syrup of two cups grant, lated sugar, one cup water, bring to boil. Have ready one medium-sized 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 24 hours. then roll the Allies In grant, lated sugar; roll twice again at inter vals of 24 hours. If moisture accumu- lates on waxed paper renew it. Allow Allies after the third rolling to remain on platter until dry; keep in dry place thereafter exposed to air, turning from time to time. The amount of syrup stated will make five dozen of the Apple Allies, five apples being used. Add boiling water to syrup as it thick ems, to maintain original consistency. When all dry and crystalline in ap- pearance pack in candy or other box and send away to your boy in khaki" or send it east for Christmas. You may garnish with Red Allies, cut in small pieces, made by putting vege- table coloring in syrup
