LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DISASTEROUS FIRE AT WILBERFORCE Appeals for Help Sent to Nearby Towns, But None Responded—Everything Possible Was Done to Save Building. VOL. XXVIII. SHORTER Hall at Wilberforce University, around which center the beginnings of the Negro race in its strivings for educational advantages; and hopes of the race for better things, and out of whose walls have gone so many of the men and women who have done and are doing so much in a worthwhile way for the establishment of the Negro as a very vital force in the affairs of the nation, was completely destroyed by fire, Wednesday night, December 7th. From an investigation on the part of the authorities at the Universities, and also on the part of the State Fire Marshal's Office, it appears that the fire must have started from defective wiring in the attic of the north wing of the building. The fire was discovered by students who were returning to the building from the weekly prayer service which was conducted at Galloway Hall, at the other side of the campus. President J. A. Gregg, who conducted the prayer meeting, and Secretary Jenkins, who lives directly across from the building, were the first officials in the building after the alarm was sounded. They directed the few boys who were already striving to put out the fire. They were soon joined by Superintendent Berry, Bishop J. H. Jones, Dean Jones, W. A. Anderson and other members of the faculty and friends from the neighborhood. Had there been adequate fire-fighting apparatus at hand the building might have been saved. Appeals for help were sent to nearby towns, but none would respond, and the authorities at Xenia, the nearest town, when called upon, refused to come. Everything possible was done to save the building, and when it finally became certain that it was doomed, the boys were directed to save what ever they could. Very little was salvaged, however, which left a total loss of several thousand dollars, and two hundred boys without homes, and many of them without clothing. Superintendent Berry and Dean Woodson very generously threw open the doors of their departments, and a committee called by President Gregg, including Bishop Jones and the heads of departments, was able to plan on the housing of students and the care of the college department, whose classrooms were on the first floor of Shorter. Mr. H. E. Schmidt, of Xenia, was instrumental in getting Governor Davis to send one hundred cots and two hundred blankets to President Gregg, to be distributed to the young men whose bedding was lost in the conflagration. The local Red Cross unit under Miss Schaeffer has offered aid, and the people generally are doing all possible to care for the wants of the young men. President Gregg and Dean Jones together with the office forces of both the university and C. N. & I. departments have been busy in placing the boys in comfortable homes. At the chapel exercises the next morning, President Gregg spoke feelingly of the great loss, and called upon the faculty and students to show fortitude and bravery in the face of the fearful disaster. Bishop Jones assured the faculty and students that State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House FOR THE ONLY RELIANCE COLOR E AT WILBERFORCE earby Towns, But None Re- g Possible Was Done Building. LY RELIABL LORA BERFORCE N. But None Re- Done the loss, although staggering, was not altogether discouraging and that steps would be taken to immediately rebuild and take care of the situation. Miss Hallie Q. Brown spoke touchingly of the passing of Shorter Hall, which meant so much in the hopes and aspirations of men and women scattered throughout the world. Chaplain Stewart offered the first one hundred dollars toward the rebuilding of the edifice, and he was quickly followed by a promise of five hundred dollars from Bishop Jones, a hundred dollars each from President Gregg and Dean Jones; and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, who went to England and secured over fifteen thousand dollars on Emery Hall, promised to raise one thousand dollars toward the fund. All members of the faculty have pledged their support toward the fund. A very vigorous campaign for funds will be started, and although a goal has not been determined, President Gregg estimates that at least two hundred thousand dollars will have to be raised at once. The friends of the community have very kindly helped in housing the boys, but this gives only temporary relief, and President Gregg calls upon the alumni and friends of Wilberforce and those who are interested in the development of Negro youth, to send in gifts for the purpose of raising the funds required. Now is the time, if ever, that the public has the opportunity to give aid to a worthy cause. Contribution in any amount will be gladly accepted and receipted by Secretary C. C. Jenkins, and the money set aside for this special fund. The building must be started at once in order to be ready for occupancy by the opening of school for the next scholastic year in October. How strange that just a little over a week before the bell which had been calling students for over fifty years, should have tolled the requiem of Dr. Thomas H. Jackson, the last of the first three graduates of Wilberforce, and then as Miss Brown puts it, to tolled the knell of the edifice where it had hung since the completion of the building, following the destruction by fire of the original plant on the night of the assassination of President Lincoln, during the presidency of Bishop D. A. Payne. And as Bishop Payne said, while looking upon the ashes of the old structure, "It went down wood, but it shall go up brick and stone," may we not say that out of the ashes of the old shall rise Phoenix-like a structure that shall exemplify the hopes and aspirations of the race in its ceaseless struggle for the very best in the new age that is now upon us. COLORED WRITER WINS FRENCH PRIZE FOR NOVEL. Paris, Dec. 14.—Rene Maran, a young colored author, born on the island of Martinique, French West Indies, has won the annual prize of the Goncourt Academy for the best French novel of 1921. The novel, entitled "Batoula," deals with Negro life in Central Africa, the race question and problems and aspirations of the Negroes. OR N. A. C. P. ASKS CLOTHES FOR TULSA SUF- FERERS The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today asked that donations of clothes be sent to the Tulsa Relief Committee, for riot victims who have to face the rigors of winter with inadequate housing and insufficient clothes to protect them from the cold. The association's statement is as follows: "Inquiries have been coming in to the national office as to whom to send clothing to in Tulsa, to help the riot sufferers face the cold of winter. The association has been made a center in New York for relief funds, having raised $3500 which is being expended for physical relief and legal defense in Tulsa, but cannot undertake the distribution of clothing. "We are therefore asking that those who have clothes to give to the Tulsa sufferers, send them to Mr. S. D. Hooker, chairman Tulsa Relief Committee, 124 North Greenwood street, Tulsa, Oklahoma. "Needless to say only clothes in good condition should be sent, preferably warm garments." "For the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People James Weldon Johnson, secretary." THIRTY-EIGHT LYNCHED WHILE CONGRESS DEBATES ANTILYNCH BILL. THIRTY-EIGHT LYNCHED WHILE CONGRESS DEBATES ANTILYNCH BILL. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a statement to the effect that since the introduction of the Dyer anti-lynching bill in Congress on April 11, 1921, there had been 38 persons murdered by mobs in the United States, of whom two were burned, four bodies being publicly burned after lynching. One of those lynched was a colored woman. Three were white men. Since the Dyer bill was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary, on October 31, 1921 there have been seven lynchings, one body being publicly burned in Helena, Arkansas. Among the causes assigned for these lynchings are the following: 1. A colored man called to inquire of a white girl why she had not replied to a note he had written to her. He was lynched for this offense. 2. An old man was accused of assisting a man to escape. 3. Two colored men were lynched for aiding a third to escape. 4. One colored woman was thrown from a bridge and drowned for assisting a colored man to escape. Georgia leads in the list of lynchings since the Dyer bill was introduced, having had 10. Mississippi is second with 7, South Carolina third with 5, Louisiana fourth with 4, and Arkansas and Texas each have 3. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17 1921 Our African ancestry is not to be despised. On the contrary, from interviews with missionaries, with native men and women, through study of recent archaeological discoveries and of scientific treatises, one finds much to awaken and stimulate race pride. I was constrained to get at the truth as fully as I could lately when meeting groups of colored girls and women, because there was such ready response to the little information I had in regard to the worth-while characteristics, intellectual, moral, and physical that were the African's own. The accounts of the Yoruba country, the history of the people, their industries, the government and customs, are very gratifying. A large number of American Negroes are accredited to the Yoruba country. These people, the Matabele, the Hottentots, and numerous others are credited with having a very high standard of sex-morality—adultery and bastardy being almost unknown before the natives were contaminated, by outsiders. We have long known that Africans gathered their girls and boys at the age of adolescence into separate groups in the bush schools for secret instruction pertaining to individual and racial health, Professor Aggrey, of Livingstone College, N. C., a native African who was a member of the African Educational Commission under the Phelps-Stokes Fund, gave me when I was at Livingstone College last year some most illuminating information in regard to the mysteries of the bush schools. He took great pride in pointing out how in sex-education his people had been in advance of some modern nations for a thousand years. I was made to feel that eugenics had originated with them. A scientist lately returned from Africa stated that if safety of life and of property are a measure of civilization, then Africa and China are ahead of New York City.—Dr. Sarah W. Brown in the Southern Workman. Negro Rewarded by Postmaster General Washington, D. C.—Postmaster General Hays recently sent a check for $500 to Walter Ambrose, the colored mail messenger at Lake Charles, La., who, single-handed, fought off mail bandits, and in doing so was shot through the stomach. Despite his wounds the plucky mail messenger pursued the robbers some distance, firing four shots at them and then delivered the mail to the train intact. The law does not provide for the reward unless there is a capture, arrest and conviction of the robber, but in recognition of special and meritorious services rendered and information furnished that may be of material assistance in the apprehension and conviction of the offenders, Postmaster General Hays has found a way to tender this amount and he expresses regret that a larger amount cannot be paid. Colored Bank Closes Doors at Gary Gary Ind.-The Central State Bank for Colored People, 1828 Broadway, was closed last Tuesday morning by State Bank Commissioner Charles W. Camp. The commissioner charges insolvency, improper use of assets and operation with a lower cash reserve than that required by the state banking laws. Officials of the institution deny the charges. WOULD USE COL- ORED PROFES- SOR'S BOOK Boston University Also Asks Permission to Translate It From German. Wilberforce, Ohio, Dec. 8.—Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, dean of the Liberal Arts College of Wilberforce University, is the author of a book now used in Harvard, and sought by other leading American universities. Dr. Jones holds a doctor's degree from the University of Jena, Germany, and his book of one hundred forty pages concerning the philosophy of Lotze and Bowne. The work, originally written in German, was at first used by the universities of Continental Europe. It finally worked its way to the universities of America, and at the present time there is a copy of it in the Harvard library that may not be taken out. Boston University is one of the institutions that are seeking to use Dr. Jones' book, as well as to translate it. In writing to Dr. Jones, the university expressed its appreciation of the depth and scope of the work, and also expressed the hope that Dr. Jones may soon take his proper place beside other great American scholars. Dr. Jones is one of the few Americans, and the only American Negro to receive the degree of doctor of philosophy from a foreign university. He is the author of several other textbooks, and is one of the greatest students of philosophy in America today. Knights of Pythias Initiate Four Hundred and Eleven Candidates Knights of Pythias Initiate Four Hundred and Eleven Candidates Oklahoma City. — Thanksgiving night was the greatest event in the history of Oklahoma City and Pythianism. It was the event of the initiation of four hundred and eleven candidates into the mystery of Pythianism, held in the large and spacious auditorium of the Aldridge theater. There were several hundred visiting members from all parts of the State, Texas and Arkansas, all of whom pronounce it the stellar event in lodge circles. In addition to the splendor of the ceremonies which made this large number members of this great institution, 7,000 feet of films, made especially for the occasion were exhibited on the screen, to the pleasure and delight of all present. Too much praise and credit cannot be given Doctor Chas, B. Wickham, who is responsible for this successful event. It was the culmination of hard earnest efforts of a man who has done more for Pythianism than any other member of the organization, and shows the wise, careful judgment of the Grand Lodge, when they re-elected Dr. Wickham to the position he holds. Men like Wickham are to be commended. Would that we had more Wickhams. The office of Grand Chancellor is an important one—one that requires experience, executive ability and a strong personality. Such a man is Dr. Wickham. NO 10 CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT Henry Lincoln Johnson, Rejected Nominee, Calls at White House. Washington, D. C.—Henry Lincoln Johnson, republican national committeeman of Georgia, who recently failed to confirmation after having been named by President Harding for recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia, was in conference with the latter at the White House for fifteen minutes. Following the interview, Mr. Johnson declined to comment upon the action of the Senate and also to answer questions to the effect that he was a candidate for another federal position. Mr. Johnson made it very plain, however, that he has no intentions of retiring from active politics and intimated that he would continue to serve as national committeeman from his state. According to White House information, the President has made no decision regarding the selection of a recorder of deeds for the city, although he has received applications and indorsements from a number of persons in this city and elsewhere. A Successful Negro Building and Loan Association A Successful Negro Building and Loan Association During these thirty-two years of the existence of the People's Building and Loan Association of Hampton, Va., it is safe to say that it has been the means of providing more than four hundred homes for the colored people; it has also saved a very large number of homes by taking over the mortgages upon them and allowing the debtors longer and easier terms of payment. To give some idea of its standing, the following summary of the financial statement of June 30, 1921 is presented: Assets. Cash in banks. $ 5,304.63 Investments 20,000.00 Loans to stockholders. 239,478.89 Accounts receivable 1,519.06 Properties in hand. 4,256.00 Office furniture and fixtures 756.00 Liabilities and capital. Dividends payable. $ 24,283.75 Capital stock 226,156.23 Reserve fund 10,000.00 Special reserve 10,875.10 $271,315.08 This association has never paid less than seven per cent dividend, except for two years during the war. Exposes the Secrets Of the Lodge Sioux City, Iowa.—Charging that Sam Jones, 31, had exposed secrets of a lodge to which he belonged, fourteen members of that organization escorted Jones to a bridge on the outskirts of the city, bound his hands and feet, and after adjusting a clothesline noose about his neck and attaching it to a bridge girder, threw him over the rail. The mob then departed. But the clothesline broke and Jones landed in water waist deep. The Rev. Dudley Smith, former pastor of the "Rising Star" Baptist Church here, was arrested charged with being one of the party that attempted to lynch Jones.

"Can't—I'm busy," replied the boy standing in the door. "Come in and see what we're doin." "C Billie came and found Johnny and his two sisters gathered around the library table, on which reposed many piles of tissue paper, bits of ribbon, walnut shells, paste, paints and shears. Ethel was sitting on the floor beside a large pan of popcorn, Helen was cutting gold stars over the waste basket, while Johnny yielded a brush full of gold paint. Taken all together, it was a scene full of delightful possibilities, Billie decided. "You see." Helen explained hospitably, "we always decorate our own Christmas tree and we're making lots of new things this year. It's more fun to string popcorn and cranberries and gild walnuts and make butterflies than it is to buy 'em downtown. Ethel, you give Billie another needle and he can string cranberries. They're easiest to begin on." Have you children discovered yet that it is more fun to "make things" with your own hands than it is to buy them with money? If not, you have missed a lesson which every child should learn. The tree decorations which Johnny and his sisters were making may be made by any child. First on the list comes popcorn and cranberries. These may be strung separately or alternately. If yellow field corn is soaked until softened, it may also be strung. A small tree was once trimmed with a lattice work of strung popcorn, covering all the top of the tree, with tiny red tissue bells at the end of each string. Nearly every child has learned to make different kinds of paper chains. Packages of colored paper may be obtained at almost any printing office. These may be cut into short lengths. When the ends are pasted together with one strip looped into the next, the "loop" chain is the result. This may be varied in many ways by combining different colors and joining other chains onto the original at various angles. The gold paint which Johnny was using was changing walnut shells into tiny glittering ornaments. A tiny hole bored in each and they were ready to be hung from the branches on bits of glided wire. Small balls may be made from tinfoil or the tinfoil used to cover other ornaments. A sheet of gold and one of silver paper present many possibilities. Stars may be cut from cardboard and covered with the paper. Match boxes may be covered with it and used to hold candy and nuts. Cornucopias, produced by rolling one corner of an oblong piece of paper toward the opposite corner and pasting the edges together, may be cut from gilt paper or decorated with strips of it. These are very useful for holding popcorn, but are not strong enough for candy. Tiny butterflies may rest on the topmost branches of the Christmas tree. Cut oblongs of colored tissue paper in various sizes, rounding the corners enough so they will give the appearance of wings. If the paper is thin, several pieces may be put together, crushed at the center, and black silk floss tied in two places so as to form the body of the butterfly. As a finish for the top of the tree, a small doll may be garbed to represent Santa Claus. A few pieces from an old red flannel petticoat will produce the cont, trousers and cap; cotton batting the fur trimming; and an old kid glove will make the boots. SANTA The lighting problem connected with a Christmas tree is always a serious one. Electric lights are always best, wherever possible. If candles are used, they should be placed securely on the tree and as far away from any decorations as possible. The tree should stand securely fastened in a box on a piece of canvas or old matting. The candles should not be lighted, except when the older members of the family are present to watch them.—Successful Farming.

PROMPT action and a ceaseless vigil is all that has saved Denver from theravages of a terrible epidemic in the past few weeks. As it is, the tollexacted by the unexpected visitation of black smallpox has been unusuallyheavy. From the first the city health officials insisted upon a policy of general vaccination as the surest check against an alarming spread of the malady. The peaceful acquiescence and ready co-operation of the people was most surprising. It is not our purpose to advance argument either for or against theprinciple of vaccination. It may or may not be the harmful safeguardclaimed for it by ardent advocates. But we do contend that it is a means ofgoing against the line of the least resistance. Whatever is beneficial byadopting cannot be counted by a temporary sore arm or "otherwise." One thing clearly established by the short and fateful reign of the plagueis that it is no respecter of persons or station. It invaded high places, theslums were not pointed to as the breeding ground. There were no specialvulnerable spots. So far as affecting our own group, the plague hardly got its first footing.There was but one death, so far as we can learn, traceable to a Negro home.And we cannot offer superior avoidance on our part, for it is confidentlybelieved that the Negro did not proportionately take to the vaccination idea. The health authorities early this week report a passing of the epidemic wave, and for this information Denver citizens will breathe a great sigh of relief. For some time the belief has been rather widespread that science had conquered the germ that made smallpox the deadly enemy of years ago. We must return to our unbelief and await further progress by science. We hope it will be many years before the species of smallpox that raged here this winter makes a recurring visit to Denver. Merry Christmas season is now fairly within our doors. Away one turns there are visible evidences of the near holidays, with their hallowed influences and generosity. There is beauty unparalleled in the various stores rich and rare gifts that may go to gladden many and happiness to many a yearning soul. There are toys and adorable ones who look with gleeful hope and trusting faith of Santa Claus. The Christmas season is a time mixture of sorrow and happiness floats upon the heart, is not altogether confined to the poor, for many a hot parents more potent than the mere giving or receiving; solely monopolized by the well-to-do, for the lamp of too many homes and they are rendered bright and cheerless remain dark, cold and forbidding.

No matter which way one turns there are visible evidences of the near approach of the holidays, with their hallowed influences and generous human sympathies. There is beauty unparalleled in the various store windows, laden with rich and rare gifts that may go to gladden many a heart and give new happiness to many a yearning soul. There are toys and notions for the little ones who look with gleeful hope and trusting faith to the annual visit of Santa Claus. The Christmas season is a time when the strange admixture of sorrow and happiness floats upon the human seas. The sorrow is not altogether confined to the poor, for many a home is saddened by events more potent than the mere giving or receiving; nor is the happiness solely monopolized by the well-to-do, for the lamp of charity is carried into many homes and they are rendered bright and cheerful, that in other seasons remain dark, cold and forbidding. This season of peace and good-will to all humanity offers renewed value and force to the ties of friendship and the love of dear ones. It is the season when the ineffable grandeur and beauty of unselfishness soars on limitless wings. It is the season of good cheer and open-hearted deeds for others, kindly and willingly done. It is the time when a soul-piercing song takes on new sweetness, when a kind word spoken here and there is a little kindlier, when the gentle, warm pressure of a hand-clasp presupposes a deeper feeling. We find it is the time to treat ourselves to the long promised new suit or new dress. We take a new survey of ourselves in the mirror and see need of new and more stylish hat, or the dire necessity of the latest thing in shoes. Such a survey is not entirely born of selfishness, for often in such meditative moments a sweet spirit enfolds us and it suddenly dawns upon us how noble it would be to gladden the heart of some friend by some token of love or fond remembrance. A beautiful sentiment is this emotion, and it bids us go on a shopping tour. We invade the crowded down-town districts and take our place along with the constantly moving mass of shoppers. We feel that we are upon a definite mission, and yet we know hardly where to begin. The bewilderment of uncertainty is offset by the heart throbs of generosity. There is but one week more in which to make the decision. For weeks the columns of The COLORADO STATESMAN have been crowded with display advertisements of Denver's most reliable firms. In this last hour we bid you consult them; they will materially help you solve the problem. Never was greater variety offered, never gayer plumage displayed.

He was born in Louisville, Ky., in the year of 1840. He was taken to Missouri when a baby by his master, Capt. Casey, his father. He lived there until the Civil War broke out and enlisted in the 83rd regiment and was mustered out after the war and went to Wyandotte county, Kansas, and resided there until 1875, and then came across the plains to Central City, Colo., and later came to Boulder, Colo., where he has resided ever since. He is survived by a devoted wife, Mrs. Martha Hall, four children, Mrs. Hattie Graves, and Frank Hall of Boulder, and Wm. Hall and Mrs. A. B.

Fun is good for girls and boys, Happy fun and joyful noise. OH the Christmas and the snow! And the ruddy winter glow! Heap the table and the fire, Christmas joy should never tire. GIVE your heart with all you give. Then your gifts with love will live. Love can live when gifts are small. Love himself is best of all. TAKE this little gift from May the season gladsome Holly red and evergreen Twining everywhere are seen SETTING UP THE TREE AT ALMOST every corner grocer's stands can be purchased very cheaply that will hold the Christmas tree firmly in position. The simplest of these consists of a crosspiece of wood raised a little from the floor by wooden supports and having a hole in the center to insert the trunk of the tree. More elaborate ones take the form of a wooden square, painted a bright red and surrounded by a low wooden railing. Country dwellers who cannot purchase these trees at the corner store, but have to cut them in the nearest wood lot, must devise some other way of holding the Christmas tree in position. The easiest way to do this, if the tree is not too large and heavy, is to insert the trunk into the hole through the bottom of a wooden box, and either paint this box green or red or cover it with green or red paper. A starch box will hold up a small tree perfectly, but a somewhat larger box must be chosen for one of larger growth. If, in spite of all precautions, the tree seems too heavy and is inclined to wobble, weight the box on either side with heavy stones. Sometimes the box is filled with sand, the trunk planted in that, and then the wooden cover nailed in place to make all very solid. If one has any talent for carpentry, even of the roughest sort, an effective support can be made by nailing two pieces of wood in the shape of a square cross, holding the tree upon this and nailing cleats to both tree and support until it stands firmly. A very pretty effect can be obtained by covering the support of the tree and the floor directly around it with white cotton batting on which silver tinsel, called "train" in most shops, has been sprinkled. This makes the tree look as if it were growing in a bunch of snow glittering in the sun. Ginger Cookies. Cream together one cupful of sugar and one cupful of shortening. Add two tablespoonfuls of molasses, one teaspoonful of ginger and a whole egg well beaten. Stir two teaspoonfuls of soda in half a cupful of boiling water. Sift in a teaspoonful of baking powder with enough flour to make a soft dough. Roll out and bake far apart so they will not run together. Lemon and Sardines. A little lemon juice is an improvement to the sardine mixture. me, e be. CHRISTMAS gifts were common in Medieval times. Accounts tell of the chandlers' guild sending out gratis to everyone a special sort of big, flat candles which were burned with the Yule log to light the houses for the coming of a supernatural Christmas visitor. The bakers also sent out "Yule cakes," or "Yule babies," which were little images of Christ. This custom, in fact, seems to be even older, it being recorded on the old Roman calendars that on the Vigil of the Nativity little images of the Christ Child were made in great numbers and presented to the fathers in the Vatican. Gradually the sentiment of "Peace on earth, good will to men" and the celebration of the spirit by general gifts seems to have spread through the other guilds, and finally to have become general. In England today there is a survival of the ancient custom practiced by landowners of setting big sacks of grain or other products outside the gate that whoever came might help himself. It is said that an extra Christmas eve feed is also still given to the cattle. MERRY CHRISTMAS NIGHT AND DAY TAXI COMPANY Pre-war prices; $2.50 feurs.

Copyright, 1921, Western Newspaper Union "Life is not a cup to be drained, but an offering to be poured out." "Life is real, life is earnest, And the grave is not its goal; Dust thou art, to dust returneth, Was not spoken of the soul." TEMPTING SWEETMEATS This is the season of the year when all who enjoy candies will turn to their own cherished recipes and prepare some at home. No candy bought in the shops tastes like that which has been made in the home by your own help. The following will be useful to add to the collection already at hand: Molasses Taffy.—Boil together one quart of New Orleans molasses and two spoonfuls of sugar for five minutes. Add two spoonfuls of vinegar and a tablespoonful of butter. Boil until it cracks when dropped into cold water. Take from the fire, stir in one-quarter of a teaspoonful of soda and pour out to cool. When cool enough to handle flavor and pull. Coffee Fudge—Take one cupful of strong coffee, two cupfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of butter, one cupful of hickory meat meats and one-half teaspoonful of almond extract. Stir the coffee, sugar and butter together and boil until it reaches the soft ball stage when dropped into cold water. Take from the fire, add the almond extract, let cool and beat until it begins to get stiff, stir in the nuts—peanuts may be used. Spread in a well buttered pan. Mark off in squares before the candy is too hard. Pecan Fudge.—Take one cupful of water, two cupfuls of sugar, a pinch of cream of tartar, one cupful of pecan meats, one teaspoonful of vanilla, two tablespoonfuls of butter and three tablespoonfuls of fondant. Dissolve the sugar in the water, add the cream of tartar and boil until it reaches the soft ball stage. Add the butter, fondant, chopped nuts and extract. Beat until it begins to stiffen then pour quickly into buttered tins. When cold wrap in waxed paper. Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale Her infinite variety. Other women cloy The appetites they feed, but she makes hungry Where most she satisfies. CAKES The days are so full that it is wise to do as much in the preparation of cakes and cookies as early as possible. Chocolate Potato Cake.—Blend two-thirds of a cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar. Chocolate Potato to Cake. Blend two-thirds of a cupful of butter and two cupfuls of sugar; add two-thirds of a cupful of grated chocolate and one cupful of hot mashed potato, one cupful each of seeded raisins and chopped nuts, one-half cupful of milk and two and one-half cupfuls of flour, in which two teasponfuls of baking powder have been sifted, four eggs, the yolks and whites beaten separately; one-half teasponful each of cloves and nutmeg and one teaspoonful of clnamon. If baked in a loaf about one hour and wrapped in paraffin paper it will keep a month. Orange Cake.—Beat thoroughly together two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of water, the beaten yolks of five eggs and the whites of three, the latter folded in at the last; two and one-half scant cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder and the juice and rind of an orange. Bake in layers and ice with the following: Beat the two remaining whites of the eggs until stiff; add powdered sugar gradually with the juice and grated rind of an orange until the iceing is thick enough to spread. White House® Pound Cake.—Grate the peeling of one lemon and work it into one pound of butter; when very creamy, add one pound of sugar and continue beating for ten minutes. Add the yolks of nine eggs and the juice of five lemons; beat for another ten minutes. Add to this mixture a quarter of a pound each of stoned raisins and currants, chopped candied cherries and seedless raisins, with orange and lemon peel, mixed and cut into shreds. Then fold in gradually a pound of wheat flour, a quarter of a pound of rice flour and one ounce of baking powder. Bake in a well greased, paper-lined tin for nearly three hours. If carefully packed in a tin box this cake will keep for months. Cornmeal Muffins With Dates.—Cook together in a double boiler for five minutes one cupful of cornmeal, two tablespoonfuls of brown sugar, one teaspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of shortening and one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk. Cool the mixture until lukewarm, add one egg, well beaten, and one cupful of flour mixed with four teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat until smooth, stir in one cupful of dates cut in small pieces and pour into well greased muffin pans. Bake as usual.
