(See Recipes Below)
Homemade Gifts
Christmas can put a strain on
your sugar budget especially if you
are baking lots of
goodies for your
friends. But to-
day I’m giving
recipes that will
keep the dents
out of the sugar
ration and still
give plenty of
good holiday eating.
' Sugar savers or substitutes are
plentiful in most localities now and
answer the need for sweets without
sugar. The homemaker can use
light and dark corn syrups, honey,
dried fruits, etc.
If you are giving cookies as gifts,
wrap them prettily in small boxes
well lined with waxed paper. Cover
them in gay Christmas wrappings,
and anyone will be happy to get a
homemade present from you!
Honey, though expensive, will not
bring up the price of these cookies
which are crispy and well spiced:
Honey Crispies.
(Makes 3 dozen)
H cup shortening
H cup honey
2 Vi enps sifted flour
Vi teaspoon allspice
Vi teaspoon eloves
Vi teaspoon cinnamon
Vi teaspoon suit
1 teaspoon baking soda
Boil shortening and honey togeth-
er 1 minute. Cool. Add sifted dry
ingredients. Roll
to Vfe inch thick-
ness and cut in
desired shape
with cookie cut-
ter. Sprinkle with
eolored sugar and
bake on a greased
baking sheet in a
moderate (350-degree) oven. Can-
died fruit or nuts may also be
pressed into the center of the cook-
ies.
Oatmeal has long been a favorite
ingredient of cookies. Here the dry-
ness of the cereal is balanced by the
moistness of apricots:
*Apricot Oatmeal Cookies.
(Makes 70 cookies)
14 cups flour
4 teaspoon soda
14 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 teaspoon cinnamon
4 cup shortening
4 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
1 egg
1 cup mashed, cooked apricots
14 cups rolled oats (uncooked)
4 cup chopped nutmeats
Cream shortening and sugar. Add
syrup, beat well. Add egg and beat
until light and fluffy. Add apricots,
oats and nuts; mix thoroughly. Sift
LYNN SAYS:
A Bit of Dressing: Varying the
dressing in salads helps add inter-
est to this course. These simple
tricks will help:
Use lemon juice and sugar for
plain lettuce. Or, mix mayon-
naise with shredded cooked beets,
chopped hard-boiled egg and
pickle relish.
For lettuce, cabbage or fruit
salads, you'll like peanut butter
blended with rich milk, honey or
sugar and salt to taste.
To use French dressing for
fruit salsds, sweeten with honey
and add a dash of lemon juice for
taste.
Sour cream is an ideal dress-
ing for mixed fresh fruit salads.
Add vinegar or lemon juice to
sour cream and season with
salt and pepper. Chopped apples
and sliced bananas may also be.
added to the dressing. Pour this
mixture over the fruit salad,
sprinkle with finely chopped nut-
meats and top with marashino
cherries that have the stems left
on. Very pretty, indeed!

flour with other dry ingredients and

If you frost these ginger cookies
with a simple powdered sugar icing,
you will have a very dressed up

4 cup sour milk
34 cups sifted flour

nately to creamed mixture with

refrigerator. Roll on floured board
and cut into desired shapes with
cookie cutter. Place on a greased
baking sheet and bake for 15 min-
utes in a pre-heated oven (375 de-

Thinking about an appropriate
pudding for the festivities? Here is
an inexpensive
one which will
serve a large
quantity. It has a
lot of fruit but re-
quires no sugar
and only a little
honey for sweet-
ening. Serve with a creamy orango
sauce, hot.
•Regal Pudding.
(Serves 10 to 12)
4 cup shortening
4 cup honey

1 cop grated carrot
4 enp chopped walnut meats
24 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
4 teaspoon soda
4 teaspoon nutmeg
4 cup milk
Cream shortening; add heney;
blend; add eggs. Beat thoroughly.
Add fruits, rind, carrot and nut-
meats. Sift dry ingredients and add
alternately with milk. Pour into a
greased and floured 8-inch tube pan
and bake in a moderate (350-degree)
oven 1 hour and 15 minutes. Serve
with the following:
Orange Sauce.
3 tablespoons flour
4 cup sugar
4 cup orange Juice
1 cup hot water
1 tablespoon grated orange rind
3 tablespoons batter
Mix flour with sugar. Add orange
juice and hot water. Cook until
thick, stirring constantly. Add grat-
ed orange rind and butter and serve
warm over pudding.
Oven Tip.
When baking fruit puddings or
fruit cakes, place a pan containing
2 cups water on the bottom of the
oven. This will help give greater
volume and shiny, glistening top to
either pudding or cake.
Making Sauces.
Sauces for puddings are best
made in double boiler to prevent
them from scorching. It will also
help keep them warm until time to
serve.

THE MAN FROM MARS AND
THE AMERICAN RADIO
Ogwopi, the Man from Mare, had
spent a week-end in America and
was most anxious to return without
delay. Nothing could make him stay
longer. It seems he had spent the
time listening to the radio.
“How do you like America?” wa
asked.
‘As the seat of stomach acidity,
bleeding gums, scalp troubles, in-
testinal difficulties and the like It Is
terrific,” he replied.
We didn’t quite follow him.
“I had no idea the United States
was a place mainly concerned with
matters of gastric Juices,” he con-
tinued. "Yours is a distinctly phar-
maceutical land, isn’t it?”
"Pharmaceutical?" we asked.
“Yes,” said the Man from Mara.
“I devoted most of my visit to learn-
ing about America from the radio,
a most wonderful devlee, and I nev-
er heard ao much talk about pills,
ointments, lotions, seltsers, capsules,
tablets, purges, etcetera, In my life.
You people must really be In
very bad way.”
We began to understand now.
“One of the chief industries of
your country,” continued the Man
from Mars, “seems to be handling
the bad breath and body odor situa-
tion, which I take it from the broad-
casts, are your foremost national
problem.”
“Now look,” we began.
“And you take it all in such a jol-
ly mood,” he kept on. ‘So many of
the radio references were in song.
The handling of B.O., as you call it,
in a musical mood is quite original.
But doesn’t it ever get on your
nerves?”
“I suppose that to a person from
another planet, totally unfamiliar
with our customs, the radio must
give a strange impression,’’ we said.
“What do Americans do when not
taking vitamins?” he asked.
“Oh, that doesn’t take up much
of their time,” we insisted.
“Bnt it mast,” said Ogwopi, the
Man from Mars. “I’m a fairly ac-
tive person bnt I couldn’t possibly
consider all the vitamins, make the
essential selection, take as It
rocted and have a free moment left
And your people’s scalps and teeth
most be In awful condition.”
“Not necessarily,’’ we said.
“The air ie jammed with urgent
lectures on what to do about them,'
insisted the Man from Mars. "
made a two-hour check. The coast-
to-coaat discussions of constipation
topped everything else on the air,
but the advices on anti-stomach acid-
ity, dry scalp and mouthwashes ran
very close. You have my deepest
sympathy.”

He was reaching for his hat.
“Oh, one thing,” he said in the
doorway, “what was the name of
that beer that wins wars? I want to
tell my countrymen about It. We
have our dlsturbauees you know. It
might come in very handy.”
We gave him the name of six
beers and three ales.
• • •
“And that cigar?” he asked.
“Which cigar?”
“The one the announcer says has
been giving people poise, content-
ment, companionship and the fool-
ing of brotherhood for 70 years?”
At that moment we tuned in on
the radio inadvertently. A voice de-
manded, “Are you over 35?”
The Man from Mars zoomed
away.

With special tunes in Russian;
Avoiding all percussion
I sing ot right and wrong I
I wander from court to court
To sing of understandings

To make toe battle short!
I deftly tune my lyre
To keep us all as brothers,
And soothe the Poles and others—
And not stir Joseph’s irel

I warble hlther-thlther,
So friendships may not wither—
But what s job It 1st

The long - lived ostrich often
reaches the age of 75 years, and
commonly spends 65 years with
one faithful mate. When hatching
eggs (40-day period), ti^e mala

ers the eggs in daytime, while dad
takes the “night shift.”
In the nest are round eggs and
oval ones. Males emerge from
'round eggs, females from oval-
shaped ones.
