ELECTRIC MIXERS.
(From Mrs. S. B. M, Sandy Spring.
In reply to Mrs. F. S. D. thread
Of the kind specified may be Or
dered from Wilcox and Gibbs
Sewing Machine Company, 1858
O'Sullivan Bldg, Baltimore, Md.
To Mrs. v. E. r. concerning elec-
trio mixers. 1t pays to get one of
the well-known standard brands as
they will do more work for you. !
bought mixer from one of the
chain auto stores and found it was
not powerful enough to beat heavy
mixtures, such as mashed pota-
toes and it became overheated If
used for long at a time. Since
then, I have gotten a nationally
known brand which is much more
satisfactory.
MARMALADE.
From /. M. w., HyattSUille.
If. E. K, who asks about fireless
cooker discs. will inquire at Good
will Industries, 1918 New Hampshire
avenue, she may find them there.
Mrs. A. M. S. may find out about
the Swiss music boxes from the
Swiss watch repairer in the YMCA
building at 1876 G street.
Mrs. V.B. H. asks for a MARINA
lade. I have a recipe I have used
for many years made with one
grapefruit, one or two oranges, de-
pending upon size, and lemon, all
with clear skins. Either slice fruit
very tim or put through the
grinder. They make AZ or S cups
of juice and fruit. Use a deep
enamel utensil and put all in with
3 times as much water as fruit
Let stand overnight then bring to
a boil and continue boiling 10
minutes. Let it stand overnight
again. Next day add as much sugar
as there was fruit and boil until
thick. Pour into glasses, seal and
cover. I call it Clio for the three
fruits. Good luck to Mrs. v. .B.H
and all who try it. Marmalade
makes nice Christmas gifts. espe-
cially in jars that can be used for
other purposes.

Can any one tell me where I might

in the Midwest, but have so far

l have a Christmas cactus about 3
years old which has not bloomed.
This year there were many buds
which drop off soon after showing
color. I have the cactus in the south
window of the kitchen 10 or II feet
from the range, which is a bottled
gas stove. l would like very much
to know what is the trouble and how
to remedy it. Mrs. G. H. M, Gar
field county.
A successful flower grower says
that Christmas cacti are very tenn
peramental. They do not tolerate
change in temperature. 1t should
never go lower than IS degrees.
How about your kitchen at night?
Also in regard to watering-a
cactus should be on the dry side I'M
til the buds begin to set, then in
crease the water but not too greatly.
There may also be a lack of plant
food and reporting might be advis-
able. The soil should be u sandy

Windbreaks and water have made
that possible, also berries of all
kinds. The last two years have been
hard on fruit trees. Our trees were
in blossom at the time of our late
frosts. We hope it won't be repeated.
About the middle of October after
crops are harvested and stored and
bulbs ready to store, we are tired
and decide next years garden
will be smaller. With the excite
ment of the holidays we forget about
gardening. Then the first of the
year the new seed catalogs begin
to come and our garden begins to
grow, and at the time of planting it
is as large, if not larger, than the
previous year.
The first real sign of spring at
house is when five or six flat
boxes make their appearance. It's
time to plant petunia, aster, tomato
and pepper seeds. Not nice to have
in ones kitchen, but it isn't for too
long and it is interesting to watch
the plants come up.
Buy New Seed
We buy new seed every year. If
you have a few pet seeds left over
from last year and want to plant
them, try terminating a few of the
seeds in water or sand. 1t may save
you labor and garden space if they
aren't good.
When buying seeds or plants, such
as tomatoes, buy the ones that have
the least acid. And good pepper
plants should be of the thick meat
variety. Try growing the vine peach.
One or two plants will supply an
average family in sauce for a season.
Can hardly be distinguished from
apple sauce when canned. They are
shaped like a large lemon and peel
like an apple. The vines bear heavily.
We grow cantaloupe successfully
and usually have them till Thanks
giving by storing them in the base
ment. We try watermelons, but sell
dom have any that mature. Oul
growing season is too short. Broc.
coli l recommend, as a few plant:
will supply you if the heads are
used before going to seed, and they
keep heading out until frost. Anc
whether you grow flowers, vege
tables or both, it is well worth tn,

OUR old catalogs have served their
~ purpose and, like all normal
families, we are looking forward
to getting the new catalogs. Seed
catalogs give us helpful hints and
inspirations to grow better gardens.
We know putting out cata1ogs is
expensive and the seed companies
expect returns.
At this time of the year we have
time to read and plan and make out
our lists of seeds we wish to plant.
How often we stand before a rack
of seeds and ponder what to buy.
So if we have our lists made out,
we save our local dealers time and
our own as well. We can enjoy the
colorful description of flowers and
vegetables in the catalogs.
We grow lots of flowers every
year and love them. When we look
at the tiny black, yellow and white
seeds and the ugly tubers, we mar
vel at the beauty that nature creates.
A quotation m to my mind,
Consider the lilies of the field, how
they grow; they toll not, neither
do they spin: "And yet I say unto
you that Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these"

with the paint brush. Flowers are a
meal of expression that can never
die. "Say it with our own flowers"
They bring cheer to the sick room
and brighten any place they are
allowed to grow. They require sc
little and give so much. We never
learn all there is about gardening
and most of us learn the hard way
And in order to tell how we did
in the hard way, I will tell you O.
our pioneer days. 1t centers arounc
our small acreage of growing trees
fruits, vegetables and flowers.
We built a small house and move,
in, not a tree on the place, prairi
grass, lots of gophers, the blue sky
hope and ambition. Coming fror
Wisconsin we had never heard c
windbreaks or irrigation. Wisconsi
has plenty of rainfall and littl
wind. But I wouldn't trade MOI
tana for Wisconsin.
We planted several hundred tree
and a garden every year. Ever
cloud in the sky we would watcl
praying for rain, but there w;
never enough moisture for trees

those that are living we treasur
as they survived on a bucket

vowed never to plant another see
until we had irrigation. But Wi
the new seed catalogs arriving
the spring, we would forget and t.
again.

Success With Fruits

With the help of three other fam

it wasn't thought possible to grow
fruit around Great Falls, such as
apples, cherries, plums and grapes.

siders the only solution of the
race problems.
He is acclaimed by Communists
for his contributions to the New
Masses before it's demise, DR.. Du
Boise says he has friends in all
races and all classes.
DR.. Dubois first gained atten-
ton in 1896 from the first vol
ume of the Harvard Historical
Studies, "The Suppression of the
African Slave Trade to the United
States Of America, 1638-1870."
In 1910 he was one of the

Letter 10 the Editor

Conduct is important, whether
in public or in privacy. Some peo-
pie act like Christians on Sundays
at church or when in the company
of those who are Christians, but
when they are alone off duty they
feel they can act sometimes in an
unchristian manner. The real
christian should always be on
duty. For the Lord Jesus Christ.
If we are to endure hardness
as good soldiers of Jesus Christ,
and fight the good fight of faith

we need to have on the whole
armor of God all the time.
The Lord Jesus always put con-
duct second for he knew that las
a man thinketh in his heart, so is
he." The real determining factors
of life are not external; the forces
that make for character are not
outside but within our control. If
I'll heart is right in the sight of
God, our conduct will be right
not only on Sundays, but every
moment Of each day as we'll. Our
conduct will influence others, even
a little.
That influence is either for good
or bad. By the way we live, we
are pointing people toward an
earnest desire that our manner of
life, or conduct be worthy of the
gospel of Christ, whether in public
or private life.
