Of course, the young couple to

not yet acquired the daily spat habit
will say that no husband and wife
can always see eye to eye and agree
on every subject. Certainly not, but
when they differ they can keep their
opinions to themselves. They can
keep off of the subjects that are

Reports indicate that ever since
We day, gift packages for men
overseas have been on the decline
This to some extent, is natural, for
many men have returned and others
have stopped sending requests, but
the consensus seems to be that rela-
tives and friends have simply neg
lected to carry on. If you know
that your man won't be coming
home, do be sure to send him a
package for Christmas, anyway!
Boxes containing food are sure

number of stores will be glad to as

also pack the box for you.
During this period, September IS
to October IS, the boxes are packed
as Christmas gifts. With this in
mind, a tasty fruit cake should be
included, that is if your man is not
allerglc to nuts or any other in
gradients. One and a half or two
pound cakes can be found and
these are just about the right size
to put in the box, leaving room for
other items. However, you could
send the cake separately. One chain

DELICIOUS FRUIT CAKE.

MTS. ~. M L., w uSfttftSbOHsJ
Some one requested a good recipe
for fruit cake, and have used this
one for many years and every one
seems to like it. l have also given it
to many friends.
The entire batch makes a cake
about II pounds, but it can be di-
vided into smaller cakes as desired.
I always read your column and
miss it son Saturday nights. This
is my first contribution, however.

eggs, : cups -four, 2 teaspoons each

Dorothy Dix Says

If could give one piece of advice
more earnest than any other to the
thousands of youngsters who are
rushing into marriage, it would be
this: Beware of the daily spat. 1t
is the most dangerous thing you can
do if you expect to be happy though
married.
Don't contradict everything your
husband or wife says, no matter
what superior information you may
have to the contrary, or how right
you may be in your opinion. The
arguing habit kills more love, breaks
up more homes and is first aid to
more divorces than all other causes
combined. The family war, like the
war of nations. is never won by
either side. Both lose out.
We often wonder why so many
marriages 60 on the rocks for no
apparent reason. Both the hus-
band and wife are fine people of
irreproachable character, intelligent,
kind and generous. He is a good
provider. She is a splendid house
keeper, They have a beautiful
home and nice children, and when
they married they were much in
love with each other.
Yet in a little while there is rift
within the lutte. Their voices take
on a little edge when they talk to
each other, and they begin giving
each other sly little digs, that are
like rapier thruStS, wnen they are
in company, or else they sit up when
they are alone in silence so thick
you could cut it with a knife
When you 60 in their house, you
realize that the temperature has
dropped from summer heat to the
freezing point and that all the sig
nails for stormy weather are out, and
you think it is just too bad that this
has happened to the KS, and Won
der how it came about.
Nobody knows, least of all do the
KS realize that they brought this
calamity upon their own heads by
their daily spats. They thought that
family fight was an innocent in
door diversion and that calling each
other names and raking up family
scandals and pointing out each
! others faults was of no consequence
because after they had exhausted
their venom on each other they
would kiss and make up. They ig-
nored the stark and terrible fact
that no quarrel is ever really made
up.

as we pretend to, there is the
memory OF 1t always fostering IL

COOKIE QUERY?

Through our kindness, may I ask

fully how to make the almond
'hung-yun-bang" cookies?
Supposing measurements were
standard, I followed recipe exactly
and cookies were not cooked and
were heavy. They didn't seem to
need milk and did need more flour.
I sifted all-purpose flour before
measuring.
I am sure they are cookies a
Chinese made for us so years ago
but something l did was wrong.
Should they be slightly Drowned
and crisp? Did she use butter or a
vegetable shortening?
CARE OF ALUMINIUM.
From Margaret Mitchell, Director,
Test Kitchens, the Aluminium Cook
ing UtenSH Co., NeU KenSinqton, Pa. J
In reading the RICH in recent
issue of The Star, I noticed in
structions for cleaning an aluminium
utensil with soda.
While the treatment recommended
would undoubtedly remove the
burned-on food, it would, at the
same time, practically destroy the
utensil. High alkaline soaps and
cleaners, as well as washing soda
lye, ashes. etc, all have an iniuri-
GUS effect on aluminium utensils.
Usually they leave the surface
rough and dull. rendering the pan
unfit for further use.
If food has been burned onto a
pan, We recommend that it be filled
with plain water and let boil briskIv
for a few minutes. The burned-on
portion can then be easily removed
either with a wooden spoon or
clothes pin.
