TWO RECIPES FOR
HOMEMADE CANDY
Can Be Tried at Next Candy
Pull by Young Folks.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
Here are two recipes for homemade
candies that can be tried at the next
candy pull given by your young people.
The United States Department of Ag-
riculture supplies the recipes.
Peanut Brittle.
cup white corn teaspoon vanilla
strip cup freshly
tablespoon vine roasted peanuts
gar halved
Y teaspoon salt
Cook the corn strip, vinegar and
salt in saucepan until a little
dropped in cold water forms a soft
ball. Put the peanuts and this strip
into an iron skillet and stir until the
strip becomes golden brown. Re
move from the fire and stir in the va
nilla. Have ready shallow buttered
pan, pour candy in and spread out in
a thin sheet. Allow to cool, then re-
move from pan and crack into pieces
Nut-coated MarshmaIows.
1 cup blanched al cups medium
monds brown sugar
1 cup pecan kernels 2-3 cup water
1 cup English wall " pound, or 120
nut kernels fresh soft marsh
IL teaspoons salt mallows
Chop the nuts very fine, and shake
through a sieve to get the pieces uni
form. Add the salt to the chopped
nuts and stir we'll.
Make sirup of the brown sugar
and water, boiling it to los degrees o.,
or 226 degrees +. If no thermometer
Is available the strip should be boiled
till it threads from the spoon; but
this method of determining the right
moment to take it off the fire is not SO
accurate or satisfactory. Remove the
saucepan from the flame when the
temperature of 1OS degrees O., or 226
degrees F. is reached, and set in a
larger vessel of hot water. At once
drop the marshmallows one by one
into the hot sirup, using forks to
handle them. Remove promptly, and
roll at once in the chopped nuts. Place
on oiled paper to dry. If the strip
gets so cool that it begins to harden,
place 1t over the flame to reheat. but
do not allow it to come to boil.
If there is coating Of loose starch
or powdered sugar on the marshmal-
lows brush or shake it off before dip
| ping them into the strip.

ARRANGEMENT OF
COOKING CENTER
Equipment Placed to Auoid
All Unnecessary Steps,.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
In the ideal kitchen arrangement
the equipment is placed so that one
moves with the fewest possible steps
from one task to the next. There
will be definite center for each type
of work-a food preparation center,
q cooking center, service center, and
clear-away and dishwashing center.
To some extent these centers may
coincide or be placed very near each
other. For example, the food prep
aration center must be fairly close
to the sink, which is the main piece
of equipment in the dishwashing cen
ter,
One of the best ways to arrange
kitchen so that these various require
ments will be met is to plan a pass
closet in the wall between the kitchen

Some remarkable cases Of fasting
have attracto' attention lately, but
one striking experiment In diet has
met with less attention than 1t de-
serves.
This experiment was carried out by
three scientists who lived for several
months entirely on potatoes and vege-
table margarine, with slight addition
of onion.
One Of the results of this expert
ment Is that science is now beginning
to believe that there may be some
thing in the old idea that potato water
Is remedy for govt. The potato does
appear to have considerable viz
tues where this disease Is concerned.
Another result Is that 1t Is now
claimed that the diet Of the peasantry
in some parts of Europe, In which
meat figures very rarely, is healthier

and dining room in such a way that
the sink is at right angles to it on the
outer wall of the kitchen, so there can
be plenty of light from window
either directly over or very near. The
pass closet will have shelves for
dishes, which can be put away as fast
as they are washed, to be taken out
on the dining-room side. 1t will have
a counter below the shelves, and thus
become part of the cooking center,
with the stove next to this counter,
so that the housewife can stand prac-
tically in one spot to handle foods
as they are made ready to go into the
oven, or as they are taken from 1t.
The illustration, which was made
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. shows how easily this ar
rangement can be carried out in o
relatively small space.

EX|LED MEXICAN
BISHOP ARRIVES
Church viii Win in Dispute
With Gales, Says Diaz,
in New York.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February bishop
Pasqual Diaz, secretary of the epis-
copate of Mexico and exiled by the
Mexican government because he was
regarded as the intellectual force back
of a religious revolutionary movement
in Mexico, arrived today from Ha-
vana on the United Fruit Co. liner
Zacapa. He was met at the pier by a
group of prominent Catholic church
men and laity.
Bishop DiaZ stated, through an in
terpreter, that he came to New York
to await orders and instructions. He
said that in the issue between the
Mexican government and the Catho-
lie Church in Mexico the Catholic
Church would win the long run, "as
she has always won where her cause
is in the right.
Deprived OF Belongings.
Bishop Diaz said that he had been
allowed to take nothing with him from
Mexico and that he has nothing but
the clothes on his back, thin suit of
civilian clothes. There was nothing to
mark his rank but the bishops ring.

Church in Mexico" said the bishop,
who is full blooded Indian, lis a
great step backward. 1t is a hating
of progress"
All activities of the Catholic Church
have been halted he said, but this
was rather as a protest at civil admin
istration than through governmental
pressure. Mass was no longer said
Ia the churches, he reported, but it
was celebrated secretly in private
homes at great risk to the partici
pants.
Sees No Religious War.
Asked if he blamed President Gales
for the controversy between church
and state. the bishop replied that no
single pan but a group of men was
responsible.
ut is a group of men with bolshe-
vik ideas" he said, although they do
not profess to be bolshevik."

Mexico as a result of the present con.
dition?" a reporter asked.
