When the adventurous Henry

New York, July 20 While tlacu-

lives ON the third floor of the tot

and ran into the building. He soon
appeared at a window on the third

tracted the maniac, the other thtee
made a flying leap and pulled the man
from his position on the window

his rescuers were forced to bind his

The man was employed in a garage

candied Peel Popular

Who hakes all the cakes Every
year. according TO manufacturers OF
citron, orange and lemon peel, thou
sands of pounds Of this candied peel
are sold to American housewives An
enormous quantity Is bought. also, by
bakers and confectioners. The relative
quantities sold do not indicate by any
means that home baking is dying out
ia America.
Formerly almost all this peel, wheth-
er sold directly TO housewives or not,
went into cakes. Now. however, a great
deal Of il is being used in other ways
TO add to the flavor Of home made can
dies, buildings, gelstine, etc.
The cost Of peel, whether citron, or
ange. lemon or. as Is now the popular
mixture, all three, is a trifling part Of
the total cost Of the cake. Yet the fact
that the American housewife spends
annually thousands Of dollars for this
alone shows what the desserts Of this
nation cost every year.
