APPLE SAUCE CAKE.
fFront Mrs. w. +. j., ViennaJ
I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to tell you just what part
the RICH plays in my everyday
life. Last year we moved to Vir.
ginia and I insisted on keeping
our subscription to The Star fol
the simple reason of having the
RCH available. I feel that have
benefited in more ways than one
from the column and I believe
Others will say the same. There
lis such a wide variety of subjects
dealt with due to the fact people
from all walks of life contribute
to the column. Keep the good
news travelling.
Now for my part. Apple sauce
cake: One cup sugar, u cup short
ening, l cup apple sauce. tea
spoon soda, l teaspoon cinnamon,
" teaspoon cloves, teaspoon
salt, 2 cups flour, u cup raisins
Cream shortening and sugar, add
apple sauce which has had soda
added and heat well. Add dry in
gradients with raisins (put u cur
flour in raisins and work in before
adding to batter). Bake in shallow
pan at $50 degrees for IS minutes.

Recently I received a black
leather handbag as a gift. I used
the bag twice but the second time
l used 1t, it happened to be raining
outside. Therefore the bag got
somewhat wet and I noticed black,
stains on, my arms and skirt.
took the bag back to the store
where 1t came from and I was
told BY the floor manager that
all black leather handbags fade
when in the rain.
This seems a little queer to
me. Why make black leather
handbags If they are going to
fade on your clothes?
Would you please tell me if the
moor manager was right?

Relief Costs
Are Mounting
In Community
S2,112 Spent
For All Cases
In September

A report released today by AL
den Tlton, head of the Noble
county welfare department, re-
veals two hundred persons to be
dependent upon the county for
their support This represented
an expenditure of $2,112 during
September for the support of
those receiving mother pensions,
relief and blind pensions.
According to the welfare di-
rector, the county has twenty
one families on the relief rolls at
the present time An additional
twenty-one single persons are
now drawing their relief checks
and grocery orders from the
county, swelling the relief total
to lis people.
1t is also costing the county
| 1886 for the payment of pensions
to twenty-six mothers. The
twenty-six needy mothers in the
county must feed and clothe
total of SO children with the
monthly checks they receive.
The county's needy blind have
hiked the total expenditure for
the month of September an adj
ditional 181. This figure repre-
sents an average payment to each
pensioner of slightly more than
$50 per month.
Mr. Tilton, in his report, stat
ed that the largest burden is in
Noble township where $286 was
spent last month in caring for
relief clients. Two relief cases in
the neighboring counties of
Washington and Guernsey are
being cared for by the local of
flee. After the families have es-
tablished residence there, they
will be dropped by the local OF
flee. When this is done, the coun-
ty will be credited with the mon
les expended during this transit
period.
A rundown of relief expendi-
lures by townships is as follows:
Beaver, SAG; Center, $176; Elk,
SCI; Jackson, S84; Marion, $73;
Noble, $286; Olive, $122; Seneca,
$25 and Stock, $128. This shows
a grand total of $1045 being dis
tributed monthly to the needy
of this county. Distribution is
made in two ways, cash and
grocery orders. This is left en-
tirely up to the relief director
who must determine whether or
not the relief applicant will
spend the cash to the best adj
vantage. In some cases clients re-
ceive only grocery order.
