HALLOWEEN
or the Pumpkin Fare, Which Is
HERB Is a stunt that fixes up one
corner of the room beautifully and
provides a lot of fun as well. It Is
called the Witch's Cave.
To make It cover a tnble with a
cloth reaching down to the floor.
Hope off the table to make the place
look mjsterious. On the t.ihle is plac
ed a grocer's box that has hod the bot
tom knocked out of It to make the box
look like ft little cave. Cover the box
with black or gray crepe paper to
make It look like a little cave. The
back of the cave Is left open nnd a
person kneels behfnd the table nnd
operates a little figure which Is noth
ing more nor less than his own hand
dressed up. Eyes, noso nnd mouth are
painted on the bark ot thf hand to
make a face Tor a witch. A little hat
Is put on the closed fist, ahd is made
from cardboard and crepe paper In
peaked shape. From the wrist to the
elbow a crepe paper skirt Is draped to
form n little dress for the witch.
Turn all the lights out, except a dim
one. One by one the fortune seekers
go Into the dark room to have their
fortunes told. As soon as a fortune
ecker appears the little witch pops
nut, does a wild dance, and throws a
fortune at the fortune seeker,
ALL the old-fashioned games played
with nutshells nnd randk- ends are
lots of fun. nnd make good Inbetvvten
stunts. Mount candle ends on old
corks nnd let them sail about in a tub
of water. Fortunes depend on how
long th candles burn nnd Just how
often the little boats bump Into each
other. Sail nut shells In similar
fashion.
Fill a box with sand and in this bun
large cardboard letters. Let each
couple equipped with little spades dig
for letters. The first ones turned up
reveal the initials of the mate of the
one who digs.
for the dances, there are usually ehap

APPLE MARMALADE
IS GOOD FOR WINTER
Now Is the Time to Make It.
Other Recipes for Tasty
Relishes Given
Apple season Is here. There are many
things which should be made from those
apples which would otherwise go to
waste. Among these the United States
Food Administration suggests apple
sirup, apple butler, pasteurized npple
Juice, elder vinegar. Concentrated apple
Juice Is n very good sugar substitute.
Apple Marmalade
Cook the apples till tender, ulng very
.little water. In preparing the apples cut
Into small pieces of uniform site so asto
expedite the rooking, and do not mix
varieties till after they are cooked, n.v
following this plan the fruit will cook
In uniform time, with no danger of some
burning before the other Is cooked.
Cinnamon Is the best spice to use with
apples. To each cup or cooked fruit
use one-half cupful boiled sirup
(sorghum or other sirup) Mix fruit
and sirup well t'ook till clear, stirring
constantly, as a mixture containing
sirup burns more quickly than one con
taining sugar. As soon as the mixture
Is clear It may be put Into hot sterilized
Jars and sealed, or It may be cooked
tilt thick nnd Jelly-like, In the latter
case It may be kept In glasses Just as
Jelly Is kept If the combination of
fruit and lrup Is highly flavored with
a combination of spices, the mixture
nerd not be cooked tilt ns thick as for
marmalade, nnd will make a fruit butter
much better liked by some than the
stiller marmalade.
Apple PelMi
One pint rider vinegar.
Tiro niirf one-nnl rupiis dork tyrvp.
One trntpoonful clnvrs.
One-half tcaspoonful ground cin
namon.
One and one-hall quart apples.
One-half pound needed rabtns.
Tuo tableiponnfuls chopped onion.
One cupful chopped pecani.
. Two tablrnpotmfuls vuiilard seed.
Two tablrspoanfiih celery seed.
One-half tea.poanful salt.
Paprika to taste.
Boll together the vinegar, sirup nnd
spices for five minutes. Add apples,
rnislns and chopped onion. Cook for one
hour. Five minutes before removing
from fire add one cupful of chonDed
pecans or walnuts Pack Into hot jars,
partially seal, and sterilise ten minutes.
Seal tightly. Let cool. Label and store.
Sweet Pickled Apple
One nnrf one-half quarts tilncpnr.
Our and one-half qunrts water.
Tco quarts dark atmp.
Four Micks cinnamon.
Four tablcipoonfuli allspice.
Three pounds sweet apples.
Four tablcipoonfuU unaround cloves.
One-half tcaspoonful salt.
Cook the lnegar, water, sirup nnd
spices for five minutes. Peel and quarter
tho apples. Stick two cloves Into each
quarter. Drop the apples into the boil
ing sirup and simmer until tender.
Pack in hot Jars. Cover with boiling
sirup, partially seal and sterilize for
ten minutes. Seal tightly. Let cool.
Label and store.
Apple Cretan p
One ijtwirt unawretenert apple sauce.
One tcaspoonful ginger.
One tcaspoonful cinnamon.
One tcaspoonful cloves.
One tcaspoonful pepper.
One teaipoonfnl mustard.
One tcaspoonful onion extract.
Two teaspoonfuls salt.
One pint vinegar.
Simmer slowly until thick, bottle and
seal. A similar catsup can be made from
plums and grapes, and sniced to taste.
Sorghum, or molasses may be added If
a sweet sauce is liked.
Cider Vinegar
Apple Juice may be made Into cider
vinegar by allowing two fermentations
to take place. The first one changes
the sugar or the apple Juice Into alcohol.
Natural yeasts from the air do this, but
the process may be hastened by adding
a yeast cake to each five gallons of
Juice. The yeast cake should be softened
jn lukewarm water before adding. When
all the sugar Is changed Into alcohol the
next fermentation will be aided by the
addition of some good vinegar containing
seme "mother of vinegar as a "starter.
Allow plenty of room for air In the
barrel during all stages of fermentation.
Keep the temperature sixty to eighty
degrees Fahrenheit.

Country Will Find Itself Only by Casting Off Ruinous
Government of Leninc and Trotsky
PHILADELPHIA women ougfit to re
gard the city shopkeepers as philan

prices." is the adice of Miss Zinsiva
Raines Dlugatch, a twenty- ear-old
Russian girl, who has Just nrrled in the
city from the troubled land of the Bol
shevikl She made her exit from Petrograd
two months ngo and paid $50 for a pan
of shoes the day of her departure. Miss
Dlugatch is pretty nnd what the artlBts
would style an Ideal type of Russian.
She was graduated from a high school
In Russia's capital nearly two years ago
and during the riotous time In Russia
has lived with a sister. Her father,
mother, younger sister and brother came
to this country five years ago and are
living at B43S Locust street.
Objecting to the rule of Lenine and
Trotsky, she applied to the American
consul in Petrograd for a passport and
obtained It. The Bolsheilki officials
placed their O. K. on It and after mak
ing a trip to a Swedish port she boarded
a steamer for New York.
"Unfortunate Russia," she says, "will
find Itself, but only by casting off the
ruinous government of Lenine and
Trotsky. The better classes are heart
sick of the turmoil and strife and long
for the end. Better days will come

NUT SHELLS WANTED
Seven Pounds Make Enough Car
hon for a Gas Mask
In connection with tho campaign for
gathering nut shells for gas masks, it
should be borne In mind that nuts aro
among the richest and most wholesome
of our foods. Wherever possible the
kernels of the native nuts should be
added to tho home supply of foods.
The hard shells, not the husks of
black walnuts, butternuts, hickory nutB,
Persian (Kngllsh) walnuts, Japanese
walnuts and the seeds of such frujts
as peaches, plums, prunes, apricots and
olives are exceedingly useful In the
making of carbon for gas masks. The
shells of pecans and almonds cannot be
used.
Seven pounds of hard nut shells, or
200 peach pits, will make enough carbon
for one gas mask. Thousands of tons

"Business Is at a standstill. Manu

could use. Prices are prohibitive and
there Is widespread suffering among the

Bread was difficult to get at that price

Her expressive dark eyes flashed fire
when she recited the hardships of her
sex, and clenching a email right hand
sho emphasized with much vigor her
Impressions of Lenine and Trotsky.
"They are adventurers and dangerous
men in tho saddle," said Miss Dlugatch.
"Just think," she added, "when you
walk In the street you are accosted by
a policeman who In a gruff voice asks
If you arc a Bolshevik!. If you tell him
no, then you are probably thrown Into

nuts from tropical America and car

Is not sufficient.
Nuts which cannot readily be cracked,
those -which have become stale with age
or those which have failed to develop
plump kernels should be turned over to

Tempting Fruit for "Flu"
Convalescents
IT IS said by those who have been
victims of thW most dreadful epi
demic that It leaves them with no ap
petites; that they Just plain don't want
to eat. And so we want to tempt them
with all sorts of dainty things which
might arouse a wee bit of Interest In
food, For most certainly nourishing
food Is part of the "cure," and 1 believe
that one way to tempt that sleepy ap
petite Is by the gift of a basket of
fruit. One of the shops Is mnking ft
specialty of these baskets of fruit for
the convalescent, pricing them nt $3.

makes this style difficult to wear. The
round neck Is formed by a hemstitched

square collar goes around the back from
each shoulder and fine little tucks soften
the front of the waist. The price Is

AFTER Myra had left, Ruth sat for
a long time thinking. "Then she got
up, went Into her own room, and rat
down before her dressing table. Little
rose colored electric lights on each side
threw a soft reflection over everything,
and Ruth dellberatly removed the little
shades so that the hard yellow light
shone on her face lighting up evtry de
fect. Myra's" appearance had somehow
brought radiant health Into the house,
and Ruth waa almost afraid to look
at herself with eyee that compared and
contrasted, for she knew that sleepless
nights, had left her wan and pale.
The bright light showed a soft girl
ish face with eyei that were slightly
hollow and with very white cheeks. As
yet Ruth's looks had not been rerlously
Impaired and she sighed with relief.
"You've been slumping, my dear," ahe
said, nodding at her face accusingly,
"and you're actually allowing yourself
to drift Into all kinds of dangerous
Imaginings. Do yon think It la a
worthy motive, this Jealousy of Myra's
good luck? Suppose you can't go to
France; you don't have to become a
chronic grouch over It, do you 7"
A slight tinge of red came In her
cheeks, shame that she had for a mo
ment allowed herself to become Jealous
of Myrla.
"Just because Myra happened to look
more attractive than I have ever seen
her look, and because," she added softly
to the face In the mirror, "because you
think she might see Scott."
That night for the first time Ruth sat
In the diving room after dinner and
played and sang; that Is, for the first
time since affairs between herself and
Jack had been definitely 'settled. It
wasn't easy, but she was determined, and
when her mind would atray far away
she would bang out a particularly atrl
dent piece or popular nonsense much to
Bobble's delight.
At i o'clock some of the old crowd
happened In, Helen Brander Bwathed In
furs, a couple of other girls, two men
In soldiers' uniform and a sailor.
"We've come to' take you for a bus
ride," Helen announced, "and then you'ro
elected to make a rarebit afterward."
Ruth was about to refuse to go, and
then abruptly changed her mind nnd
consented. She found that the laugh
ter and gayety of the happy-go-lucky
crowd amused her, and she war- really

one of the men who sat with -her de
scribed. He had the happy faculty of
making things seem more than ever
absurd, and once Ruth heard herself
laugh as she hadn't laughed in a long

before anything big had really happened
to her.

Better Babies
A constipated infant begins life heavily handi
capped. Constipation means infinitely- more
than mere failure of the bowels to move regu
larly and thoroughly. It' means stagnation of
waste matter, production of irritant and poison
ous substances, and $heir absorption into the
blood by which they are carried all over the body.
Cells are poisoned, growth interfered with,
and a soil prepared in which germs of disease
easily take rbot and develop. Constipation in
infancy is a bad habit, but giving an infant
drugs to force the bowels to move is a crime. A
babyis like a bud both may easily be blasted.
The Nujol Treatment for Constipation is not
only absolutely harmless, but is in the highest
degree efficient.
Nujol is not a drug, does not act like any drug.
Nujol helps Nature to overcome the bad habits
by re-establishing natural, easy, thorough bowel
evacuation, as regular as clockwork.
Every drop of Nujol taken into the body come out of the
body. But in iu paisige through the intestinal canal, it keepi
the bowel contents toft and moist, makes it easier for the in
testinal muscles to act, absorbs poisons and helps to discourage
germ growth.
Get Nujol of your druggist and give it according to directions.
