Report to the Housewife

HERE AND THERE: Because she
realized how little was really known
about fine Southern cooking, Mrs.
Ethel Farmer Hunter decided to put
her priced collection into book form.
The result is Secrets Of Southern
Cooking" Ziff-Davis Co.: S2.75.
Mrs. Hunter, a member of an old
and distinguished Georgia family,
has included in her book all the
culinary secrets of Southern ladies,
the treasured recipes Of generations.
While she was still living In Atlanta
she began coAecting recipes that
were the envy Of all her friends.
When she moved to Chicago her
fame preceded her. During the war
years she helped entertain Army
and Navy wives passing through the
city; they all wanted the recipes for
her famous Southern dishes. So, to
comply with all the individual re-
quests she went to work on a book
that would be available to home
makers everywhere. Many of the
recipes have been in the author S
family for from so to $50 years.
The black fruit cake is one her
mother used and which she con-
siders one of her most priced pos
sessions. 1t has been in the family
for over 60 years. Because she re-
members when she was once a
novice at cooking the directions
and instructions are complete and
easy to follow. The recipes are not
too rich, most Of them are for
everyday living with a few for en-
tertaining. An entirely differ
ent type of cook book is "Your

TheChef
Saws

When I was youngster and spent
Christmas at Grandma's, down on
the farm. practically every bit of
the holiday candy was homemade,
including the canes for the tree. We
children got a tremendous bang out
of the goings on. 1t would be fun
for you children, too, to help make
the Christmas candy, both for dec
Grafton and gifts.
Let's take the canes first. Put
together in saucepan 2 cups of
white sugar, u cup of white corn
sirup, u cup of water and the juice
and rind of lemon. Boil, without
stirring, until a few drops will be-
come brittle in iced water. Remove
from fire and stir in a teaspoon of
extract Of peppermint. Divide the
candy into two parts. To one part,
add red vegetable coloring. Pour on
separate buttered platters and, when
cool enough, pull each one separ-
ately. Then twist one around the
other, pulling some more. Cut to
desired length, bending top of each
piece to form crook of cane.
Almond, pecan or peanut brittle Is
easy to make and will be fun for
the less experienced. Melt cup of
white sugar in frying pan, very
slowly, until it is a golden brown.
Be careful it does not burn. Add II
cup of the chopped nuts. Let cook
for just a few minutes, stirring all
the time. Then pour into a creased
platter. Let harden, then remove
from pan and break into pieces.
Candied orange and grapefruit
peel make fine gifts. The following
proportions are given for the peel of
just / orange: Wipe peel well and
then cut in narrow strips with
scissors. Put these in a saucepan,
cover with cold water. Let this boil
up once and drain. Repeat five
times, using fresh water each time
This removes the bitter taste. Heat
" cup of sugar with v cup of hot
water and add the peels when the
sugar is dissolved. Cook, slowly. I'M
til the sirup has almost entirely
evaporated. Then drain and roll the
strips in granulated sugar. The
grapefruit peels are prepared the
same way, but you should weigh the
peel and use an equal amount of
sugar with proportionately more
water.
If you like, dip the peels in
chocolate. Melt 2 squares of bitter
chocolate in the top of a double
boiler. Keeping 1t over the hot
water, dip each strip OF prepared
peel into the melted chocolate.
Harden on parafin paper overnight.

CHRISTMAS SILVER
ANNIVERSARY,

| from Mrs. C.. X. B., Arhngt0n.)
I hasten to answer G. B. s. request
for a Christmas silver anniversary.
The following directions will result
in the lovely silver arrangements
sometimes seen in florist shops:
Purchase from the dime store
some silver paint. Gather sprays
of dead seed pods, grasses, weeds,
berries (privet hedge sprays with
berries are good. Have ready q
tall can like an oyster bucket, al
most filled with lukewarm water.
Add q little Of the silver paint, do
not stir. Dip sprays head first one !
at time In deep, so stems are
emersed. As you remove each piece
stick upright in bowl of sand or
dirt, so sprays will dry separately.
They dry quickly. Add more paint
as needed.
Rhododendron leaves painted sill
yer using 1-inch brush, add char
scter, placing leaves at base in ar
rangements.
These are especially effective in
glass or silver containers flanked
with white candles, or, If you should
be using red crystal bowls, red
candles.
This method of silvering learned
while living in the Shenandoah VAL
ley, where the women are ingenious
and entertain beautifully.

ITALIAN FRUIT CAKE?
(Fron, Mrs. A. K, Bethesda.)
Does any reader know the recipe
for Italian fruit cake? 1t is a pastry,
hard and crunchy, filled with nuts
and fruit, etc. The real thing is
delicious and I understand it is
quite hard job to make it.
PUPPET?
(Fronn Mrs. I'M. s., Washington.)
My little girl, aged 8, has written
q letter to Santa Claus (Which I
have intercepted and says she
wants more than anything else a
puppet. She believes so staunchly
in him despite the fact that her
older cousin has told her otherwise,
that hate to see her lose faith. II
just don't have any idea rs to where
to get one, however. Could any one
of the readers of RICH help me out?
I certainly would appreciate it.
CARTWHEEL?
(Front Mrs. M, Washington.)
First, bouquets of holly and q
merry Christmas to a most unusual
service in big city! I enjoyed the
page all through the war and some
OF my most treasured recipes have
come from the column. Now I am
asking for another. I recently ate,
at a Christmas tea, q feathery, rich
connection they called q cartwheel.
The maker said it was made on a
special iron form and fried quickly
in deep fat, then sprinkled in pow
dered sugar. Would any one send
the recipe? I hesitated to ask for
1t at the tea, as have been re-
buffed several times in this section
of the country, when asking for
recipes which turned out to be "an
old family secret" A man even re-
fused to tell me his rule for making,
Of all things, Mexican chilli, on that

mails life but as yet we have no
preventive. Apparently these small
calcui or stones are formed in the
kidney and then work their way
down into the urethra causing a
blocking of the urethra with a re-
sultant backing up of the urine and
a rupture of the bladder.
More New Diseases
Another disease that was not OBJ
served until a few years ago is what
is known as pulmonary emphysema
or asthma. This also is not consid-
cred a communicable disease, but in
the fall of the year when animals
are brought in from a short-grass
country and are placed on %cut-over
meadows the condition may make
its appearance. Whether the condi-
ton is due to a sensitization or is
a c~yogenetic poison we have not as
yet been able to determine.
Foul foot or pododermatitis is a
disease that causes considerable in
convenience but very little death
loss. This is best treated by the use
of one of the sulfa drugs such as
sulfamethiazine or sulfathiazole
given as a pill or bolet in the pro-
portion of one grain of the medicine
to each pound weight of the ami
NAL. The dosage should be split into
two units and one given in the morn
ing and the other in the evening.
Usually the two doses are sufficient
to result in a cure.
Calf diarrhea and calf pneumonia
seem to be increasing. We know the
more we congregate animals and
the more we handle animals through
safeguards and practice winter feed
ing on small pastures, the more we
will see of these diseases.
Anaplasmosis is a very fatal dis
ease of cattle found principally in
southern states. An animal may re-
cover from this disease but, if it
RECEIVERS, it remains a carrier just
as long as it lives. We ship in tens
of thousands of southern cattle every
year and some of these cattle have
proved to be affected with anaplas-
mosis, although they showed no
symptoms of the condition and I'M
fortunately there is nc practical test
for its diagnosis. So far we have
been able to control an~aplasmosis.
Due to our winter conditions it is
doubtful if the disease will ever be-
come the serious threat to northern
cattle that it is to southern cattle.
Need for Research
We have been very backward in
animal disease research and this
backwardness has caused the loss
of millions of dollars each year. If
we had looked forward and had had
an adequate research laboratory for
virus diseases of animals and par
ticularly for foot-and-mouth disease,
it is possible that the present out
break of foot-and-mouth disease in
Mexico would never have occurred
or would have been quickly con-
trolled. AS long as we have foot-and-
mouth disease in Mexico we will
have a potential economic catastro-
phe facing us at all times in the
United States. We have fooled our
selves in the past and we can re-
peat I'VE and over again cit can
not happen here" but let us not
continue to fool ourselves.

| Martin Says House
Will Insist on Getting
FbI Letter on Condor
BY the kssoeictsd Press

Speaker Martin predicted today
the House will insist that Secretary
of Commerce Hartman produce a
letter relating to the loyalty Of DR..
Edward u. Condor.
Mr.. Martin placed the House
leadership quarely behind an at
tempt Of the Un-American Activities
Committee to get the letter. The
House will vote next week on a COM
mittee-sponsored resolution directing
Mr.. Hartman to hand 1t over,
despite presidential order to the
contrary.
The letter was written to the
Secretary last May Is by FBI Dr.
rector j. Edgar Hoover. It contains
a report on an investigation of Con-
don as head of the Bureau of Stand
ards, testing agency for many top
secret military projects.
Letter Quoted Part.
An Un-American Activities Sub
committee quoted part Of the letter
in q report accusing DR.. Condor Of
Being one Of the weakest links in
| the Nations atomic security.
Knowingly or unknowingly asso-
ciating with suspected Russian spies.
DR.. Condor has said he is abso-
lutely reliable. The Commerce De-
partment Loyalty Board reported it
found no reasonable grounds for
questioning his loyalty to the Gov
eminent.
| The Un-American Activities Com
mittee has ordered public hearings
in the Condor case beginning
April 81.
Chairman Thomas has said Mr..
Hartman will be invit6X to appear
and will be subpoenaed If he fails
to accept the invitation.
President Ordered Secrecy.
The Secretary has refused re-
quests of the committee and in
vididual members to make public
the Hoover letter. He said he did
so on the advice of Attorney Gen.
eral Clark, and that it would be
prejudicial to the public interest to
reelease the letter.
President Truman later ordered
all Government agencies to keep
secret their files on the loyalty of
Federal workers.
Mr.. Martin told reporters he
thinks the House committee ought
to have the Hoover letter.
I'm definitely for It," he said.
