Some Fine Points

In the making of mincemeat
either beef heart or fresh tongue is
to be preferred to the ordinary
round of beef generally used. When
cooked it should be stored in air
tight jars as for canned fruit.
Many persons think that spoon
full or two of chopped black walnuts
improve mincemeat. If these are
added they should be stirred in just
before the mixture is removed from
the fire.
The lemon mincemeat, if it is to
be kept, should be boiled for ten
minutes, then sealed like the regu-
lation mincemeat. If used immedi-
ately it does not require cooking.
The Southern fruit cake, when
carefully made, cannot be excelled,
and to those who have always baked
their fruit cake I would like to rec
ommend the steaming process for
part of the cooking, followed by a
"drying off, in slow oven. If one
possesses a large steamer the cake
pan may be set in it, the pan COW
cred with buttered paper and the
cake steamed as you would a pud-
ding. Both plum puddings and fruit

cakes are also excellent when cooked
in the fireless cooker. Follow the di-
rections that come with your own
make of cooker, using one radiator.
The term eight fruit cake" may
seem rather misleading, but the
name is used in the far South to de-
note a cake not quite so rich as the
real Christmas product. 1t will keep
equally well, however, and has de-
licious flavor of its own, due to the
addition Of the black walnuts.
Always wrap q fruit cake in
paraff1n paper and store it in stone
or earthenware Jar, being sure that
it is quite cold before putting It
away.

In making the little fig pudding"
this may also be cooked in one
large mold), scald one cupful of milk
with two cupfuls of bread crumbs
and add three-quarters of a cupful

Fruit Breads

In preparing dainties for the holi-

you have on hand at least couple Of
loaves Of one of the delicious fruit
breads. 1t is true that these cannot
be kept so we'll or so long as the pud-

they are all the better for being
nearly a week old, and cut in wafer

the thing for children as substi-

day supper.
For very good "prune and raisin
bread" mix together one cupful of
cornmeal, two cupfuls of graham
flour, half teaspoonful of salt and
two rounding teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Have ready half cupful
of chopped raw prunes and quar-
ter of a cupful of chopped seeded
raisins. Blend this with the flour

dainties, and az plum pudding, fruit
cake and mincemeat seem to rfpen
and improve with age, they should
be prepared we'll in advance of their

Recipes for two plum puddings
are given among the tested recipes,
and they may either be cooked in q
regular pudding steamer, or, if sew
eral are to be made, they can be
boiled or steamed in the old-fash-
ioned way by turning into creased
earthenware bowls. Tie each bowl
up securely In a pudding cloth of
cheesecloth and set on a board in a
small washboiler. Have the water
come to about two inches below the
top Of the bowls, cover the boiler
and cook for from four to six hours,
according to the size of the bowls.
When the family is small, pound
baking powder cans may be utilized
for cooking the puddings, but the
round bowl always gives a more at
tractive Christmas pudding.
When the puddings are cooked
cool them and keep in any cool, dry
place. Left over plum pudding may
be again resteamed, and it is de-
licious cut in slices and sauted in
q little butter.

 Ahak murdered Agluetuk in Kong ermust. This village lies far to the east of Fort McPherson. The murder, 1t is said. was in cold blood.
 Ahak went off across the tundra on a hunting expedition. For months he hunted muskox and caribou. The snow was deep when he returned, with his dogsled piled high with furs and meat
 No shouts of welcome greeted him. The village folk were silent. As he looks upon him. Ahak knew the meaning of this reception. He went to his igloo, took off his worn hunt ing clothes and arrayed himself in his best garments. Then he sat down upon the skin of a Polar bear and waited.
 The villagers found him sitting mute and motionless, like a statue of copper. Their leader started to ma< @ a speech. Ahak silenced flina. Speeches were useless. A deerhide rope co1led outside would be more to their pur- ed out the rope. Silently, without fuss, Kasahovi and Amokuku, strong est men of the village. placed moose about Ahak's neck and strangled him. They left him dead on the snow at the door of his igfoo.
 Corporal Cornelius arrested kasa- hoy: and Amokuku and took them to the police barracks on Herschel Isl- and The two Eskimos will be brought out to civilization for trial next spring.

 "Onc price we must pay for dis armament is the elimination of party politics from international disputes.
 ''It is inevitable; if we are to have rest from building S50,000,000 battle ships we must have an association Of natiorrs. The more nations we can get into that association the safer we will be.
 Another cost of disarmament must be withdrawal from isolation on the mast of America. We admit the need of such withdrawal or we would not have called a disarmament confer
