MARSHMALLOWs;

FILLING HOT WATER BAG.
from Mrs. j. r. o., Washington. J
I have had very good luck with
the marshmallow recipe that fol-
lows. They can be used in cocoa,
gelatin and even toasted. To two
cups sugar, add one-half cup corn
sirup and u cup hot water. Stir
till the mixture reaches the boiling
point. Then boil again without
stirring until the sirup forms a soft
ball when tried in cold water. Re-
move from fire, add four table,
spoons gelatin which has been al
lowed to soak in cold water. Beat
the whole until it is white. Whisk
the whites of Q eggs to a stiff froth
and add to the candy, beating all
the while until thick and stringy.
Then add ! teaspoon vanilla and
tablespoon constarch and pour into
a large pan that has been busted
with sifted powdered sugar. When
candy begins to harden a little, sift
more powdered sugar over the top
of it. Cut in squares with a knife
that is kept moist. Allow to stand
overnight, then pack, using wax
paper between layers.
This is timely hint. When fill
ing a hot water bottle, fill about
half full and then press until the
water is seen at the stopper line
(to expel air) before putting the
stopper in.

WAS PLAINSAiAN

The Bradley known to the public as a sportsman and gambling club proprietor was widely chronicled in print, but there was another side to him-the Ed Bradley who roamed the southwestern plains from the 1870's until approximate ly 189o-whose story only Bradley knew well, and he never told it.
 He was only IA when he quit the Pennsylvania steel mills and set cut fer Texas. That he worked on cattle ranches in Texas and prospected for gold in Arizona and Mexico has been established. He also was known to have been a government scout in the campaigns against the Apache Indians which ended in 1886 with the capture of the chieftain, Geronimo.
 He married Miss Agnes c. Cur " of St. Louis in the sos. They had no children. Mrs Bradley died in 1926 while on a Mediter- ranean cruise. His niece, Miss Peggy Bailey, made her home with him for years, and Bradley always locked upon her as daughter.
 Chicago Clothing Store Opened
 Within those years in the south west, where nearly everyone played poker and faro and bet on the Indian pony races, Bradley ac- quired his aptitude for gambling Late in the sos he appeared as a bookmaker at race tracks in Memphis, Tenn, and Hot Springs Ark. For some reason, perhaps the impending worlds fair of 1893 he came to Chicago in 1890 and there made his headquarters until 1918.
 His first Chicago venture was a clothing store at Clark and Madi- sen streets. In 1893 he was ad- vised by lis physician that unless he quit active participation in busi- ness he would have only a year tc live
 Throughout his years on the plains he had maintained part nership with his brother, John From this partnership, which in- cluded in it's assets the Bacchus Club at Fl Paso, Tex, the largest gambling establishment in the state and other sources Bradley was as- sured a sizable income. So wher his doctor ordered him to quii business, Bradley did the thing that was nearest his heart-he pur- chased the Idle Hour farm neal Lexington, Ky, and began the de velopment of a racing stable.

Colder Underground Then It Is Outside

The sneak killer" of the high ways is the insidious carbon mon oxide gas which, sitting into vehicles closed against the chilly breeze of even the currently mild December, overcomes car occu- pants and causes many accidents, according to bulletin issued by the Connecticut Highway Safety Commission.
 WATCH VENTILATION
 Rolling up car windows and driving long distances without ven- tilating the vehicle can result in an accumulation of carbon mOnOxide in a car or the cab of a truck. The essential precaution is effective ven- tilation of closed vehicle, thus off setting the deadly effects of this gas.
 co is toxic gas is colorless and odorless except in extremely high con- centrationS. It is tasteleSS and non- irritating and has specific gravity oi 0.o67, so close to that of air that mix ture is easy. Because of these proper ties, 1t has been properly classed as the sneak killer" It is almost impoS- sib1e to detect its presence except by the use of instruments.
 ALL TOO COMMON
 The co hazard for drivers and rid CTS in automobiles as result of ex- posture to exhaust gases is naturally greater during the winter months Fatal accidents from inhalation of ex- haust of co in garages are all toe common. One should never take a chance on running an automobile mo- tor in a closed garage.
