FOR FINE CANDIES
PROPER WAY TO MAKE FRENCH
FONDANT.
Rsclpa Given Here, in Respect of Ma-
terials and Quantities, Is Intended
for the Beginner at Mak-
ing Dainties.
As fondant is the foundation for all
the fine French candles, a good work-
ing knowledge or how to make It is
essential. Molasses candy can be
made on a damp day, fondant never.
The materials needed are the best
granulated sugar for the cream, a
small quantity of confectioner's sugar
*o be used in the kneading, vegetable
color pastes that can be purchased at
any first-class confectioner's or made
at home, a little cream of tartar, and
then the fillings, flavorings, nuts, etc^,
that are to be used in connection with
the fondant. For flavoring the ordi-
nary extratts are used, also maraschino
and other cordials.
The formula for fondant is always
the same: A pound of graulated
sugar (that is, two ordinary cupfuls),
one cupful hot water, and a half tea-
spoonful cream of tartar. This is the
easiest quantity to handle for the ama-
teur. After a little experience the
Quantity can be doubled, as fondant
can be made and kept on hand. Put
the ingredients into a granite sauce-
pan with an extra heavy bottom, and
■tir over a slow fire until the sugar is
dissolved, but not a moment longer.
After it has become a clear sirup stir-
ring will cause it to granulate. Heat
rapidlv to the boiling point, wiping
gently away with a damp cloth any
moisture that appears on the sides of
the pan. If this drops back into the
pan if is apt to make the sirup grau-
ulate also. If any scum arises, remove
It carefully. After cooking ten min-
utes begin testing in cold water. If it
will make a soft ball when rolled be-
tween the fingers it is just right and
must be at once removed from the
fire. Set aside in the pan in which it
has cooked to cool. Do not try to
hasten this by setting in cold water.
Let It take its time. When cool, not
cold, begin stirring energetically with
a wooden paddle. In a few moments
It will look cloudy, then whiten and
grow thick and creamy. When too
■tifT to stir, take in the hands and
knead like bread dough. There is no
chance of overdoing this, for its light-
ness depends upon the thoroughness
of the kneading. When quite light
and creamy it is ready for use, though
It is better to put away a day, as con-
fectionerp. do, to mellow and rlp^n.
Pack in an earthen dish and cover
airtight with a slightly dampened
cloth. This will keep for weeks if de-
sired.
When sufficient fondant has been
prepared it is ready for the coloring.
All colors, extracts and flavors must
be as concentrated as possible, so as
not to thin the fondant too much. If
you make your own colorings green
is made by cooking spinach leaves a
few moments in a little water. Strain
■nd bottle. To obtain red, boll one
ounce powdered cochineal in a cup of
wator for five minutes, then add one
ounce cream of tartar and a half ounce
powdered alum and cook ten minutes
longer. While hot' add two ounces
sugar and bottle. For pink use a few
drops cochineal or a little cranberry
Juice, or the pink coloring that comes
with some gelatines. For blue, rub-
Indigo In a little water on a plate
Caramel or chocolate give a dark
brown. The grated rind of a dark
skinned orange soaked in a small quan
tjty of its Juice, then Btrained. gives
yeilow, as also the yolk of an egg.
Fruit Juices also furnish good color-
ings for fondant.

REASON FOR WOMEN'8 "NERVE8"
In Vary Many Cases It Is Weakened
Kidneys.
Mrs. Frank Roseboora, 512 S. Wash-
ington St., Moscow, Idaho, Bays: "In-
herited kidney trou-
ble grew steadily
worse with me until
bo nervous I could
not sleep at night. I
was dizzy and spots
floated before my
eyes. My back and
hips ached and every
cold settled on my
kidneys and made me worse. I have
used many different medicines and
was discouraged when I began with
Doan's Kidney Pills, but now the
symptoms that alarmed me are gone."

THE SOFT ANSWER,
Stern Parent—I hadn't any of the
advantages you have had. How do
you suppose I have got on as I have?

TWO CURES OF ECZEMA
Baby Had Severe Attack—Grandfather
Suffered Torments with It—
Owe Recovery to Cuticura.
"In 1884 my grandson, a babe, had
an attack of eczema, and after trying
the doctors to the extent of heavy bills
and an increase of the disease and suf-
fering, I recommended Cuticura and
in a few weeks the child was well. He
is to-day a strong man and absolutely
free from the disease. A few years
ago I contracted eczema, and became
an intense sufferer. A whole winter
passed without once having on shoes,
nearly from the knees to the toes be-
ing covered with virulent sores. I tried
many doctors to no purpose. Then 1
procured the Cuticura Remedies and
found immediate improvement and
finalcure. M. W.LaRue, 845 Seventh St.,
Louisville, Ky., Apr. 23 and May 14, "07."
Where She Should Live.
"What under the sun," asked a
father of his daughter who wanted her
to make a match with a young man
whose only qualification was the pos-
session of a goodly fortune—"what
earthly objection can you possibly find
to Mr. Sprigglns?"
"He has habits,' replied the daugh-
ter, "which I detest! When I marry
1 want a husband who does not smoke,
chew, drink, swear, belong to clubs,
play cards, stay out late or go motor-
ing by himself."
The father looked at his daughter
for a moment or two In silence and
then said:
"My child, you are but a stranger
here; heaven Is your home."
The Matter With It.
••What Is the matter with my
poem?" asked the amateur contribut-
or; "Isn't the meter all right?"
"Oh, yes," replied the editor, "the
meter is excellent."
"I think if you look again you will
find that the rhymes are faultless."
"The rhymes are very good, quite
Ingenious, I might say.
"Then why do you decline it?"
"You have forgotten to say any-
thing."
Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the weal-
ing quality of the goods This trou-
ble can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of Its great-
er strength than other makes.
Was an Attendant.
As the new minister was on his way
to evening service in the village he
met a young man whom he was anx-
ious to have become an active member
of the congregation.
"Good evening, my young friend."
he said, solemnly. "Do you ever at-
tend a place of worship?"
"Yes, indeed, sir; regularly every i
Sundav night," replied the young man,
with a smile. "I'm on my way to see
her now."
Starch, like everything else, is be-
ing constantly improved, the patent
Starches put on the market 25 years
ago are very different and inferior to
those of the present day. In the lat-
est discovery—Defiance Starch—all in-
jurious chemicals are omitted, while
the addition of another ingredient, in-
vented by us, gives to the Starch a j
strength and smoothness never ap-
proached by other brands.
The Chauffeur's Thought.
A well-known Englishman tells a
good motor-car story. He says that
on one occasion, when instructing hi*
chauffeur to drive carefully, he re-
marked: "I don't mind about grown- |
up people and dogs, but do be careful
about children and babies." Whereup-
on the chauffeur replied: "Yes, them
feeding-bottles do cut up the tires
dreadful."

ReaH the Following:
El Reno, Okla., April 11, WOT.
C F Simmons. San Antonio, Texas: .
Dear Sii — 1 have just returned from a visit to your lands in Ainvcaem
Counts. I left El Reno on the 2nd of tins month, for the purpose of look-
ing over Southwest Texas, and especially your land, with a view of locaV-
",g lnspent "two nights snd a day on your ranch, and while there I
the Musgrove, Brown, Turkey Creek, Muley cow and Henchman pas-
ture*. and made as complete an examination of the property as I could
with in* he limited time that I had to spare. I consider vour land the
body of land that 1 have seen in Southwest Texas, and I have looked over
W^ag!A'".^sed at the quality of the soil on this ranch. It
was much better than I expected to see, and I consider it a most favor-
able opportunity for a poor man to get a goo<r home.
The soil is what I would call dark and red chocolate loam, with occa-
sionally a little sand, which I consider a benefit in some respects, rather
1''d"l aha\ e'VM' rf engaged in farming and ranching il-out all mv life, and
have had much experience in raisinu alfalfa in Kansas and Oklahoma, in
B v mind there is no question but that the black .and on your ranch
especially adapted to the successful grow n^ of alfalfa, winch I consider
the most v.ilualde farm crop that my farmer can raise. While ini han
Antonio, 1 saw fre h alfalfa hay on the wagon, nnd it whs selling for *17.00
per ton, loose hav. With the long seasons you have in Texas, and proper
irrigation, you should get at lennt seven or eight cuttings ot alfalfa a year
oil' tins land, and there •night to be a yield of at least a ton to the cutting.
1 saw the huge artesian well at the Headquarters ranch, and I must say
it is the finest artesir.n well 1 ever saw, und is fully up to your representa-
tions in every respect. . . , . _
If the land is underlaid with artesian water, as I am sntixfied it m, I
do not see why alfalfa and all other crops grown upon that land cannot be
made a success. .
1 consider that you are giving the people a great opportunity to secure
chea^> hom
noni'-s.
As f ir as I nave seen, I am perfectly free to say that you have repre-
sented your property fm?ly, and tlwt the description you give of it in your
literature is not overdrawn. ...
If you desire it, you have mv permisnon to refer any persons inquiring
about this land to me and 1 will be very glad to answer uny inquiries mad*
of me with reference to it.
1 nppreciate the kindness extended to me while on the ranch.
\\uli best wishes, I remain, Your* very truly, C. i£. 11UUT.

Bananas may be fried In deep fat for
a luncheon dish. This is a tropical
custom. Do not take those that are
very ripe.
Bananas make delicious ice cream
If used for cake filling, beaten with
white of egg and sugar, th« cake must
be used speedily. Part apple may bo
used. The apple must be fresh and
grated. Huch apple pulp without any
banana, only the egg and sugar and a
little vanilla, makes a nice cake filling.
This keeps better than the banana.
