Grauel Christmas Candies There are two ways of making the fonmlatiou for fine cream candies. One is to use the finest powdered sugar, the white of egg and a little thick cream; this requires no cooking- The other way is known as French fondant and the following directions are explicit: Cooked fondant —Two cups of cane sugar to each cup of water, one-eighth teaspoon of cream tartar, flavoring. Boil this sugar and water together, without stirring, for ten minutes, then test it in cold water. It should roll into a ball between the fingers when removed t'roiu the water. When it does this ad the cream of tartar and the flavoring. Cool slowly and do not scrape the side of it until it has cooked in, for this will make the whole mass crys tallize. When cool beat with a slotted spoon until white and creamy. This fondant may be made and packed into a jar and formed into candies later. The utmost care is necessary not to jar or shake it while cooking as it su gars easily. A sugar thermometer is almost a necessity for making fondant, as the testing is very liable to cause the sngi»r to crystalline. These thermometers may be found in all housefurnishing stores and are not very costly. They arc use ful for other things in the cookery list beside candies. The flavoring of fondant may bo left until the last and several flavors added to give a variety when the foundation is molded into chocolate drops or cream balls. Nuts may be added and fruits, j too. although a few herds recently have I been reported suffering from the dis order. RAILROAD LOSES LIQUOR CASE Missouri Pacific Found Guilty Under New Kansas Law Columbus, Kan., Dec. 15, —The lirsfci test of the provision of the law forbid ding railroads to bring liquor into Kan ! saa for unlawful purposes, resulted in, a verdict of guilty in a Cherokee Coun ty District Court.

Indicted on "Poison Pen" Charge i Philadelphia, Dec. 15. —Anna Stahl, an alleged poison-pen writer, of Darby, j who was arrested last September by! postal inspectors on a charge of send ing aHeged scurrilous letters to Miss Helen Timmons and her father, E. P. Timmons, of Sharon Hill, was indicted I yesterday by the Federal Grand .lury. I The case will be tried at the present ! term of court. Artistic Printing at Star-Independent, i [ The uncooked candies are made by sifting the confectioner's triple -V j(XXX) sugar. If it is full of lumps i roll it until fine. Add just enough egg |white to moisten the sugar and work it to a paste with a fork or spoon. Drop in the cream, which is added only to give richness and flavor, and con tinue working the mixture. Add more of the sugar as needed. When it is firm enough shape into little cones, for chocolate drops, or roll it out into a hall' inch sheet and cut into squares. Flavor a little of the mass at a time. One egg white and one tablespoon of [thick cream will be sufficient to work into a .pound and a half of the sugar land will give you when completed a mound and a half or two pounds of the finest confectionery. The amount you Iwill be able to make from the quantity suggested will depend on the amount lof fruit or nuts you add. Dates may be stoned and the cavity filled with the !candy. Wi.lnuts may be coaled with it. laud broken nuts, candied cherries, chopped figs and raisins may be mixed with it and shaped into fruit bars. This candy is best when fresh but will stay soft ami moist two ur three days. Pop-Corn Balls The syrup for these popular sweets should not lie too Irnrd nor too soft. The ball stage is about right if sugar and water are used for the syrup but if you use commercial svrup for them it should lie a little harder. The syrup max be flavored with chocolate or col 'orod pink with cake coloring. BUSINESS COLLEGES, t \ | U.BU,.
