73'3IS is the time of year when
& the same question is wrinkling
many brows. What to give for
Christmas?
The solution to this problem is
simple enough. Give homemade
foods of one kind and another.
They are inexpensive and besides,
the whole family of the receiver
can share in the pleasure of such
presents.
Cookies cut in odd shapesi Lovely
cakesi And certainly jams and
jellies are even more suitable be-
cause they need not be consumed
atOnce but can be kept indefinitely.
This is no small advantage in the
holiday season when larders are
crowded with perishable foods.
Everybody from your favorite
aunt to your next-door neighbor,
will welcome a box containing
three or six or a dozen glasses of
jam and jellies made from different
fruits. A few midget glasses added
to the others would make the gift
even more interesting. And, of
course. the package can be done
up attractively with gold and sill
yer paper. Christmas ribbons and
sprig of holly as the final touch.
For that needy family down the
street such a gift is ideal.
If your jam cupboard is depleted
or does not offer a suitable choice,
make some jam and jelly for gift
giving, using your home canned

HERBS STILL
IN MEDICINE
They Are Sought For Their
Property Value By Med
icine Industry
THRIVING OCCUPATION

st. Louis.-"Yarb doctors" and
their strange concoctions have dis
appeared as a result of the swift
march of science, but the gathering
of herbs and roots for use in max
ing medicine remains as a thriving
occupation in the United States.
Recognizing the curative or heal
ing value of many of the homely
remedies brewed from mandrake,
snake root or burdock, modern man
ufacturers of medicine rely upon
these and other herbs and roots as
the sources of ingredients for many
medicines which are sold today over
the counters of drug stores
Tons of herbs and roots are
shipped annually to st. Louis, which
is the chief market of this kind
for domestic manufacture. The
gatherers of herbs and diggers of
roots, scattered through all parts of
the country, receive Eaany thousands
of dollars annually.
Is
say that many of them earn a live
lihood solely by this occupation
which Is reminiscent of other days.
Plants, trees and weeds growing in
their wild state are the chief ingre-
dents of medicine, but some species
of plants are cultivated for the mar
ket.
Even the leaves of jimson weeds
merely pests to many a farmer
can be sold for five cents a pound.
From these leaves is obtained an in
gredient for a medicine to treat ca
tarrh.
Slippery elm bark Is bought for
use in making medicine for bronchi
It's and dysentery, and frequently
large consignments are exported to
England for use by manufacturing
firms there.
The greatest demand is for the
roots of wild mandrake. Eugene
Donzelot, a commission merchant,
who has dealt in herbs and roots for
years. said thousands of tons of
mandrake-also known as mayapple
are sold In the ST. Louis market
annually.
Many Indian doctors" who
travel about the country with their
shows obtain their medicine herbs

first vice-president of the Nation
al Council of the Episcopal Church
at its final meeting for 1888, held

York City, Thursday. This honor,
which has been conferred upon
Bishop Cook follows closely upon
his election as assessor to the pre-
siding bishop at the meeting of

ident of the National Council
Bishop Cook becomes administTa-
tive head of Division A of that
body, which includes the four de-
partments of foreign missions, do
nestle missions, religious educa-
ton and social service. Bishop
Cooks appointment by the presid-
ing bishop, and the unanimous
confirmation of this designation,
was among the first business
transacted by the council at its
winter meeting. The new vice
PRECEDENT Immediately assumed his
duties. In announcing Bishop
Cooks nomination, the Ri Rev
James De Wolf Perry, D. D., pre-
siding bishop, said that arrange
ments had been made under which
Cook could continue his adj
of his duties as
of Delaware in connection
with his new office. The bishop
will divide his time as occasion re-
quires, between Wilmington and
New York. At the same meeting
of the council, the Rev. Rev. Fred

airy bishop of North Dakota, was
elected executive secretary of the
of Domestic Missions

his time between his missionary

ICE ON ROADS
TIE UP TRAFFIC
Ditched Abandoned AutOmo-
biles Line Roads All Thru
Upper Part of Delaware
MOTORISTS NARROWED

Delaware was quickly covered
by blanket of sleet last Wednes-
day afternoon, and never in the his
tory of the State was traffic tied
up SO completely in a few hours.
The streets in Smyrna were cover
ed with ice both Thursday and
Friday. On Wednesday afternoon
the cars of Esley NJ Rust and Will
liam Ellison, both of this town,
collided at the intersection of Main
Street and the highway at Lake
Como. Ellison's car was damaged
to the extent Of about $3.50 while
the Rust car was only slightly
damaged. No other accidents were
reported. Hundreds of motorists
on their way down the State, Wed
nesday night, were stranded in S.
Georges when unable to drive their
cars up the hill south of the cana.
bridge. Both sides of the roadway
were lined with cars that slipped
off the ice-bound highway and
were left there by their owners
who sought shelter for the night.
Every house in the village was
said to have sheltered one or
more persons A number of small
accidents were reported but none
Of any serious proportions. The
storm extended to below Dover
The highway from Smyrna to Do
yer was lined with stalled cars.
Many of them skidded into bitches
alongside the roads and tow cars
were kept busy dragging them
back to the concrete. The ice ex-
tended as far south as Milford but
from there down the weather was
more moderate and while rain fell,
and in some instances snow was
reported, it did not freeze and no
damage was reported. At Sea-
ford the temperature was about
the freezing point and a light rain
was falling late Wednesday night.
Several members of the joint leg
islative committee appointed to
investigate the Temporary Emerg-
ency Relief Commission who met
in Dover Wednesday afternoon
had a thrilling trip from the cap
ital to Wilmington Wednesday
night. 1t took them more than
five hours to cover the distance
which ordinarily can be traversed
in about As minutes. The party
left Dover about 3 o'clock and did
not reach Wilmington until after
s o'clock Wednesday night. The
members reported the highway
was a sheet of ice which made
travel extremely dangerous and al
most impossible without tire
chains. The Lawmakers reported
the State Highway all the way
north from Dover was lined on
both traffic lanes with automobiles
and trucks, the drivers of which
had evidently concluded to stop
where they were and not risk
further attempts to operate their
machines over the slippery surface
of the roadway. They did not see
any machines that had been dam

THE adage, you can't have too
= much of a good thing" doesn't
apply to cake baking.
Knowing that baking powder leav-
ems cake it is natural to assume that
a half teaspoon more will give cake
greater lightness. The sad, strange
fact is that too much baking powder
may cause sinking in the center,
0 g gummy crust, coarse, dry
crumb, or cake that runs over the pan
"a dismal cake failure.
Let us rule out cake failure by fol-
lowing two simple baking powder
rules. First, always use amount rec
commended on your baking powder
can. This proportion has been worked
out as best for tn IT particular baking
powder. Second, measure carefully
an excess of any type of baking pow
der gives undesirable results. A
level teaspoon means that you must
level off with a knife.

rules-you'n be surprised.
