sake of the Christmas spirit and
the delicious smell that will
permeate the house, why not, in
addition to the store" cake, try
a Poor Mans Christmas Cake?"
Although not so rich, this de-
licious fruit cake may be made
at a cost somewhere in the
neighborhood of IL cents q
pound. And if you'd like to add
citron, candied lemon peel or .
few walnuts-black or English
it might cost a little more, but
it's worth it.
Every Christmas for the last
eight years, this column has of.

send a stamped, self-addressed
envelope, a copy of this recipe
for Poor Mans Fruit Cake"
INTERESTING RESULT
More than 1S thousands re.
quests have been received and
filled, and some of the answers
they have brought, telling of re.
suits Of making this cake, have
been interesting, amusing, ro-
mantle, even tragic (when the
cake hasn't been a success.
One girl, with her eye on q
certain young man, invited him
into the kitchen where she was
mixing the cake. He helped her
cut up the citron, the lemon
peel, and shelled the walnuts.;
She told him how reasonable the
cost of it was. The cake was so
successful that he decided she'd
be an economical wife, and he
right then and there, popped the
question. Right after Christmas
she sent me an announcement
of their marriage.
Another letter, from a widow.
said that she and her husband
had always planned and pre-.
pared their Christmas fruit
cake together. She had two chill
dren who liked to smell the
spicy fragrance of a. Christmas
cake in the baking, and as she
could not afford the expensive
kind 7he wanted my recipe for

Manners
By Mrs. Cornelius Beeckn1an

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper to give ones future
in-laws ones photograph for a
Christmas giftP I have visited at
their home quite frequently and
feel as though I'd like to remem
ber them with some gift this
Christmas. GEORGE.
I'm most enthusiastic about
your giving a Christmas gift to
your in-laws-to-be. This would be
an appropriate thing for you to
do, not only because of the new
relationship, but also, as you say,
as a gesture of appreciation Of
their hospitality to you.
But don't feel that sending
them your photograph would be
appropriate as a Christmas git.
I'd like to have you do this at
some other time, when it can be
done more casually. For a Christ.
mas present there are many gifts
that you choose to send that
would make a generous bow to the
family as a whole. For instance,
a beautiful plant, or festive-look-
ing basket of fruits, or fruits and
combination of candies and q
variety of glasses Of jams and
jellies (this combination is most
attractively packaged for Christ
mas gifts), or several books or one
or two subscriptions to "home"
magazines.

FEDERAL RULE
ORPHANS 1000
HIGHWAY MILES
Highway Finances and Federal
Ruling Eliminates Aid to
Minnesota Roads.

A combination of state highway fl
nances and new federal rulings has
operated to leave Minnesota with over
1000 miles of orphan" highways on
it's hands.
NJ W. Elsberg, state highway COM
missioner, disclosed the predicament to
members of the House Motor Vehicle
committee this week. The mileage
which has been left orphaned" is about
1000 of the approximately 4,500 miles
that was taken out of the county class
and added to the state trunk highway
system in 1888, at the same time that
the Legislature affected a cut in motor
vehicle license fees and reduced the
revenues of the trunk system by ap-
proximately 100000.
Of this $500 miles, less than 500 has
been approved by the federal govern
ment for inclusion in that part of the
states trunk system known as the fed
eral aid system. Federal regulations
require that all federal aid money al
loted to the Minnesota Highway De-
partment be spent on roads which have
been accepted as a part of the federal
aid system. Thus, these 1000 miles OF
Legislative additions to the states
trunk system are not eligible for any
construction or improvement work to
be paid for with federal money.
In the past, federal funds that were
available for work on secondary and
feeder roads, could be used on this
state trunk system mileage which was
outside the federal aid system
Last week, however, new ruling was
received from Washington decreeing
that this money, all but Approximately
100000 of the $650,OO0 annual allot-
ment, would be paid to the counties
when matched by them, and must be
used on county roads. This, the state
highway commissioner pointed out, will
leave the 1000 miles of Legislative ad-
ditions to the trunk system stranded
in "no-mans-land" between the fed
eral aid system and the county roads
Since the state lacks sufficient funds
anyway to match available federal aid
money, it would be unwise to use any
considerable part of these available
state funds for this system because, to
do so would mean to lose that much
federal aid money and pass up an OPP
portunity to do twice as much work on
roads which are included in the ap-
proved federal aid system. Under
present regulations, therefore, these
orphaned" highways face a prospect
which offers hope for little more than
