Bread Clubs Are Liked by the Girls

New Hampshire Al club girl, starting
to make some biscuits. Hazel has
done the cooking for the entire family
for the past three or four years, for
her mother is an invalid. She has
found the knowledge gained in club
work of considerable help to her.
The standard recipe for biscuits
which many All girls use is in Farm
ers' Bulletin 145O-F, Home Baking,
which is free to anyone writing to the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, but in case some reader wants
to use it at once, it is given here:
Baking Powder Biscuits.
l cup milk A tsp. baking pow
cups sifted soft der
wheat flour / tsp. salt
to tbs. fat
Either milk or water may be used
as the liquid in baking powder bis
cults and the quantity varied to OBJ
tain the kind of biscuits desired. Some
persons prefer the texture of biscuit
made from very stiff dough, using as
little as possible. Others like lighter
biscuit, for which the dough is made
very soft by using more liquid and
combining very lightly. Drop biscuits
which are not rolled out may be made
by adding more liquid than for soft
dough.
All dry ingredients are mixed and
sifted together. The fat is worked in.
and the liquid is added to this fat and
flour mixture Cutting the fat into
the flour with knives, a pastry fork or
biscuit cutter is often recommended
to avoid warming or handling 1t too
much, but the tips of the fingers may
be used if the work is done quickly.
Sour milk may be substituted for
sweet IL scant half teaspoonful of.
soda is used to neutralize one cupful
of sour milk. Two teaspoonfuls of
baking powder are then omitted, but
the other two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder are used.

AS Santa Claus looked through his
wonderful telescope on Christmas
morning he said:
1T is always great help to me,
too, to see the children. / can tell
in this way, too, what pleases them
most.
"Of course l have their letters and
try to give all of them the presents
they most want.
"But in this way I can tell how
much they like the toys and games
and books l have given to them.
ut gives me so many ideas, too.
There" he continued, as he talked
to. his dog, Boy of the North, lit is
just as l thought.
Little girls will never grow tired
of dolls and boys will always like
trains.
"And they enjoy good game too,
for the winter evenings. All, / see
that boy at his skates.
"He asked for pair in his letter
to me-that is he asked for pair in
the six different letters he wrote to
me.
HE really can hardly wait to start
using them. do believe he would
like it if the floor were suddenly COW

"And how that little girl is hugging
her doll! thought the one / made
with the golden curls and the eyes
that opened and shut would just

Was a Problem

''Mary Jane caused me many
anxious moments" says Mrs. G. g.
Mcdowell, 4035 Wentworth Ave.,
&c., Minneapolis, MINI. "She was
listless, weak, had no appetite.
"She suffered a lot from colds
until began giving her California
Fig Syrup. 1t made her strong,
able to avoid colds; gave her
good appetite and digestion. She is
the picture of health, now"
For over SO years, California Zig
Syrup has been helping bilious,
weak, headachy, constipated babies
and children. Doctors by thousands
recommend this pure vegetable
product. Children love its flavor.
1t acts gently to open the bowels in
colds or children's diseases. Bowels
become regular with it's use and re-
main that way.

Make Scientific Study
Of Scourge of Leprosy

The ancient scourge of leprosy is
being intensively studied in Hawaii
with a view to steady reduction in
the number of cases and eventually
to eradication. Gov. Lawrence M.
Judd has appointed a committee
which includes men who have given
many years of attention to leprosy
cases. Their report, just concluded
but not made public, deals not only
with medical treatment, but with
measures for segregation Of lepers
and closer control Of the disease.
Hawaii for many years has treated
leprosy without special fear, know
ing that care in handling it sufficient
ly protects doctors and nurses from
contamination. Measures suggested
to the governor by the commission
will be embodied in legislation by
the territory of Hawaii next spring.

new types of peltry to add to the
list with each passing season, nor are
any omitted from the present style
program. The variety of furs repre-.
sented in the current modes is amaz-
ing.
The latitude offered in choices of
peltry tells only part Of the story,
for fur coats, as they are this winter,
were never so cunningly and adversely
styled. 1t seems that the new models
are willing to go to any length" to ac-
chieve the chic silhouette. The range
includes everything from the jaunty
little bolero to short hip-length jackets
to the finger-tip length (see model to
the left in the picture), and on and
on to three-quarter to seven-eighth,
with special emphasis being given to
the popular and stunning full-length
GOAT types.
From the styles illustrated one
senses the charming contrasts which
go to make up this seasons fur coat
program. These elegant furs were the
selection of Genevieve Tobin, which is
huff said, for these Hollywood stars
sure do know style. The finger-tip
jacket Of burunduki is slightly bloused
at the back. The collar is effective
worn up around the neck or thrown
open. In Paris the jacket Of striped
fur worn with black velvet skirt in
a much featured fashion among tho
displays.
The beige ermine coat to the right
is very exquisite affair. It preserves
the slender lines which are the enyy
Of every woman, and it carries an air
of quiet elegance.
1t does not matter what type of fur
be used for the coat, whether inexpen-
sive or Of fabulous value, it is sure to
be styled with fetching details and to
interpret a silhouette of distinction,
for that is the way Of all the this sea.

MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES STILL
 SUBNORMAL.

Steel authorities profess to slightly better inquiry for products, though the demand is far from reaching the point of affecting operations materially manufacturing activity of B per cent there abouts is still pitifully low and level that ob- viously spell only negligible earning power for the big organizations
 The motor industry which is of such vital importance to the steel trade, is experiencing no improvement so far as can be determined Cur tailment is if anything, increasing and the date for introduction of the 1892 models is in some instances being postponed The fourth quarter will witness of the lowest production periods in many years.
 The much needed confidence is returning slow y as bank failures subsiding and the security markets qui3ting down. Once hoarded money flows back into the banks there will at last be a basis for the belief that normal in finance may be approaching.
 It seems unwise to expect too much in the way of revival in financial industrial markets until idle cash back in the banks, is courageous enough to seek employment. That trend will, of course make itself felt in the bond market first.

The Philippines.
CNew York World -TelegramD

Unless the administration is very careful it will force unwise Philippine legislation at the next ses- sion of Congress By a policy of inaction it may throw control of Philippine legislation into the hands of Americans who have only selfish interests to serve.
 President Hoover's statement this subject was very vague Does he hope to get by with the old Harding and Coolidge policy of evasion and delay?
 There never anything to commend such a policy There is less today
 For the question no longer is action by Congress or no action by Congress. The question is:- What kind of action by Congress?
 The Chairman of the House and Senate Insular Affairs Committees agreed in predicting action by Congress at the coming sesion The prediction checks with the information of the press and of the Filipino leaders.
 What kind of action by Congress?
 If certain tariff interests which object to com petition with Philippine products have their way tha islands will be given immediate and uncon- ditional independence. That would hurt the Filipino people economically.
 We believe the Fipinos, or any other subject people. have nalienabe right to political inde- pendence if and when they want it. But we have good reason to believe that the Filipino leaders do not want immediate independence They would take immediate independence rather than go on with the present unsatisfactory status
 But what they really prefer is something like ten-year transitional pariod Of home rule internal affairs, followed by plebiscte to choose between continued home rule complete independ- ence
 That is reasonable proposition It would pre- vent the abrupt severance of close economic bonds: 1t would allow time to prepare for a modification or abolition of free trade between the two coun- tries; and it would give the Filipinos a chance to grow experienced in self-government.
 If during the transitional period the United States treated the Fiipnos nelligently is possible that the pebscite ten years hence would choose a continuance of home rule rather than complete independence. The Fipinos might not wish to Icop tha fraa, C. goods which they have in the United States The present status is evil because not the Fi- pinos, nor American capital, any one, can plan for the future
 II President Hoover, in cooperation with the Filipino leaders, will present a reasonable measure to Congress long and mutually satisfactory rela- tionship between the two countries probably will result
