Some is mellow and creamy, some is sugary and some is granular. I am giving a recipe to- day for fondant, and let me suggest t though you wish to make a large amount, make a double quantity only at one time. Larger quantities are icult to keep smooth, During ng it is advisable to wrap a remain until when pressed with the fingers it will dent and is cool. Then take a wooden spatula or a silver spoon and work it from the sides to the center. Keep working it thus until it brea Then it can be worked with the fingers until it is very creamy. It can be warmed to make it liquid enough to pour into molds, but it must never be allowed to lose its creamy texture, If it does it must be boiled and cooled and cooled and worked again. However sugary fondant is, it can always be melted down and boiled again, several times over, if necessary to get it right. There seems to be a knack about making fondant, but in this it is just like most cooking. Perhaps you will have the knack, but if you haven't, experience will make you expert. Fondant is not hard to make right, but it requires careful watching and the directions should be followed pre- cisely. If you have a candy ther- mometer, making fondant and all boiled candies is simplified. Keeps Indefinitely. One advantage about making fond- ant candies is that the foundation fondant can be made any time. If it is put away in an air-tight jar it can be made into the candy forms near the It ripens if made early. Two cupfuls sugar (granulated). One cupful water. One-half saltspoonful of cream of tartar. Stir until the sugar is dis- solved. Then stop stirring immedi- ately. Boil until a drop or so forms a soft ball in cold water. The candy thermometer should register 236 de- grees. If stirred before sufficiently cool it will grain. Should a thin, sugary crust form in the surface, the s must be boiled again, It has cooked too long. The temperature of the fondant changes very rapidly as it gets nearly done, so it must be watched very carefully. No scrapings should be allowed to get into fondant, as they are quite sure to make the mass granular, PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE BRADY, M. D. BY WILLIAM Displacements. Most people, regardless of thelr echool training, have never studied hu- tomy or physiology in a seri- because these subjects are v considered a little improper, for the instruction of pupils in at lea the grade schools, and by the time pu- pils get along into high school or col- lege, the education authorities assume the young people have. somehow learned about as much of human unat- omy and physiology as is necessary for a lady or gentleman to know. This svstem makes good picking for those who exploit credulity. An individual with an elementary knowledge of anatomy and physiology is not goms to believe that a suave barber, after a few months of study, can detect slight displacements of spinal vertebrae tnat the thoroughly educated and experi- enced physician and surgeon cannot recognize, Thirty or 40 years ago the doctors, deserves. Distortions or abnormalities incident to disease conditions are com- mon enough, but it is the disease con- dition, not the displacement, that calls for a remedy. Mere displacement, un- complicated by disease of any kind, is so very common that it is question- able whether we have any right to draw arbitrary deductions about the “normal” position of the pelvic or- gans. I do not presume to be a speclalist or an expert on this question, but I do make bold to say, with all the assurance I can command, that there i3 no reason to consider an uncompli- cated displacement of pelvic organ or organs abnormal and no reason for subjecting the woman with such dis- placement to any treatment what- ever. And I am fairly certain that no competent specialist or honest physi- clan today will take issue with this teaching. Fifteen or 20 years ago we doctors were gathering a mass of X-ray and through routine examination, discov- ered that a good many women have displacements of the pelvic organs. A considerable number of these women also complained of various symptoms it can do no good ‘to mention the mptoms, and it doesn’t matter any- ~ay—and the doctors, having no prece- dents, no long experience to gulde them, just jumped to the conclusion that these symptoms of which the women complaffied ;weré 'dys o the displacement: found in : examination. Well, it was a sad story, but it is all over now and we have good news to tell. The good news is this: No displaee- ment other than actual dislocation from severe injury. need give a woman any anxiety, and certainly no such displacement causes any symp- tom which the woman may hap- pen to have. I hope this is clearly ex- pressed, for it seems to me that we owe it as a duty to womankind to make this avowal so plain and unmis- takable- that all tinkering which pur- ports to correct displacements ot pel- vic organs will get the bad name it other academic evidence regarding the common occurrence of displacements of abdominal organs, kidneys, stom- ach, colon and so on. Some of us jumped to a hasty conclusion about this, too. It is another sad chapter and this is enough to say about it. But I do like to tell good news. The good news is this: We now have suf- ficient X-ray and other academic evi- dence to warrant the opinion now widely accepted by good physiclans, that. “dropped” stomach, or sagging colon or loose or floating kidney 1s a natural state in many persons and need give the subject who discovers he has it no anxiety at all.

Lols was going to the big game with Peter, and Nancy cousin, Roger, was out of town. That may have been the reason that she stood for a few minutes looking so wist- fully at Roger's picture, which Nancy had framed. Lois wished that Roger could see her new sport outfit. She was wearlng a soft, light tan Angora sweater. It matched the tan crepe de chine skirt, which was pleated The sweater was so_warm that she did not_feel the need for her heavy coat. But she was glad enough to snuggle into it when once she reached the foot ball grounds. Nancy’s cousin was wearing a sult. She, too, planned to slip into a heavy coat when they reached the fleld. But she was calling Lois’ attention to the new neck line of her white crepe de chine blouse. It was simply made, with no trimmings save heavy stitch- ing at neck and hem line. The blouse was of a length which made it seem a part of a costume when the suit coat was removed. She knew enough to choose an oyster white shade for the blouse.

All attempts to make him right- handed wera stopped. Within two months Sandy became quieter, better hehaved, made more effort, showed more interest in his work. Letting him use his left hand, as Nature in- tended, didn’t increase his mind pow- er, but allowed him to use it more freely, There are cases in which forcing right-handedness on a left-handed child induced stuttering, confusion, restlessness, irritability, ready fatigue. It is more convenient to be right- handed, but where the bent the other way is strong, Dr. Wile doesn’t hesi- tate to say that it is stupid and brutal to go against Nature.

Today the task is to try to dis- cover what opportunity the school offers your child. Fach child is born Into the world an individual. In some one way,. per- hans more than one, he is different from all other children. If he is to bo n useful person, a happy man or a happy woman, that bit of difference must he allowed to grow to its happi- est and fullest growth. Is the school meking allowance for that or is it just making every child who enters its doors leave them only formation, a unit in standardized unit without essential difference, alike as much as may be to every other child; still, dull, acqui- escent? It is good for a child to live with other children. It is good for him to know how to live with others and wor'- vith them toward a common end. Tt is economical school adminis- tration to teach as many children the same thing at the same time as pos- cible. There is only one danger: JThe individual opportunity that the child needs to fulfill the promise of his growth may be lacking. What chance is there in your school for a child to try to do something he thinks he would like to do? Some- thing nobody told him to do? How much chance hzs he to ask a question of a teacher and feel that he will be answered fully, graciously, inspiring- 1y to the end that he may follow his search still further afield? 1f_your child happens to be thing- mindcd, one of the kind who cannot think in terms of words, but must handle things to get clear ideas, how much chance has he to get things into his hands and study them? Maybe he is sitting in the back seat for just that reason. Or suppose your child is a motor- minded child, who must make things 8o before he or she can feel ac: quainted with them and make them a part of their thought and action? What opportunity has this kind of child to make things, do things, experi. ment_with things? ' If he has none, how does the school serve him? How shall he grow?

There are many children who use either hand almost equally well; if that facility is retained they are called ambidextrous, And among these are an unusual proportion of persons who really do a little better with their left hand. If you have that kind of a left-handed child, converting him to right-handedness is probably hoth easy and safe. Most of us are rore right-handed than we should be—we neglect the left hand. left-handed have more occasion to cultivate the right hand than the right-handed to use the left hand. A child originally left-handed and made right - handed without bad effects should remain right-handed. But if he is like Sandy, undo the wrong. You can tell when the child is of kindergarten age. 1If the child in printing E or F reverses the letter as if seen In a mirror, the child is prob- ably using what is for him the wrong hand. If a little encouragement cor- rects it, and sets the left-handed tot on the road to right-handedness, o on. If there 1s marked resistance and persistence of the left-handed habit in all things, let Nature have its way. About four persons in 100 are by nature left-handed. Instead of having the left half of the brain better de- veloped, as is the case in right-handed people, their brains are better devel- oped on the right side. Why, we don't know. It is true that left-hand- ed persons are four times as common among the defectives as among the population at large. But it is also true that left-handedness is at least as common among the bright and the exceptionally able as among the ordi- nary right-handed majority. Your Sandy is probably up to the average or better. If he is strongly left-hand- ed, let him stay so. (Covyright. 1927.) OUR CHILDREN By Angelo Patri adult’s experience? A child who loves color and room and line and does well with them? A child who handles tools with love and appreciation and fine results? What place is there in the school for such a child? If a lad went into the office of the principal and asked for help to skin a cat would the principal faint or would he say, “Go to room 101 and ask for Mr. Skinner and he will help you out. Come back to me if you don’t get what you need.” Some day I hope there will be in every school in the world a free teacher. That teacher will make it his business to see that each different child gets the opportunity to feed his difference. He will know almost everything and when he doesn’t know it he will know where to send the child to get it. The schools will be looser then and the children truly pilgrims of learning.

HOME NOTES Y WREN. This window was sketched in a very old house in New England, It is shown here as a suggestion to home builders who realize the importance of distinguished windows. In the old houses the windows had deep reveals only where the walls were very thick, but nowadays other excuses can be found for them. For instance, if one wished windows with deep reveals in the two ends of a living room, those ends might be ticred with book shelves to give the effect of the thick walls. The window shown here has inside shutters, and these are a pleasant feature where one does not wish to use any roller shade or drapery. They are evidently not used at all for this window, as it is quite charmingly draped With sheer voile glass curtains, a pleasant, sunshiny yellow voile being used, and overdrapories of heavy print- ed linen. The linen shows orange, red | and deep blue flowers, with dull green leaves on a natural linen ground. (Copyright. 1927.) THE DAILY HOROSCOPE Friday, November 25.

All the influences tend toward prog- ress and the final throwing oft of old traditions, the seers declare. Women are wonderfully well di- rected while this configuration pre- vails, and -they should push all im- portant affairs. This _is a most propitious rule for love affairs, which will multiply under this position of the stars. Financial matters are well directed. Letters written under this direction of the stars should bring good answers.

BY THE COUNSELLOR. Usury is the charging of a greater rate of interest on a principal loaned | than is allowed by law. Lawful rates of interest vary in dif- ferent States, the classification being as follows: i In eleven States the lawful rate is 6%; in two, 7%; in nine, 8%; in thir- teen, 10%; in eight, 12%; in five, there is no limit, any rate agreed upon be- | tween the parties being lawful. The penalties in different States follow: In twenty-two, there is a forteiture of all interest when a usurious rate is charged; in ten, the penalty is double the amount of Interest charged; in two, three times the amount of ex- cess interest charged; in nine, a for- feiture of only the excess interest. In five States, there is no penalty for charging usurious interest, there be- ing no limit to the interest to be charged. In six States, in addition to the forfeiture of a certain amount of interest, the person charging usury may also be held on a criminal charge therefor, the penalty being a fine in some instances and imprisonment in others. In one State there is a for- feiture not only of the entire interest, but there is also a forfeiture of 10% of the principal sum to the school fund. | The courts frown upon any scheme | or device, however ingenious, which hides usurious transactions, and will enforce the penalty when, upon consideration of all the facts. they are certain of a corrupt intent to violate the usury laws. | (Copyright. 1927.) down thro the s.

Text: “I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing. In thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed.”—Gen., 1 ‘When God revealed to Abraham His purpose to make of his seed a nation which should be His chosen people, He made it plain that His ob- ject in doing so was to make them a blessing to other nations. “I will bless thee, and thou shalt be a blessing,” He sald to Abraham. And that rule applies with regard to all the blessings God bestows, whether upon individ- uals or nations. God never makes favored pets of either persons or peo- ples. In the divine economy the uni- versal law is, blessed to bless. Here is a lesson that needs to be impressed upon the American people, and our national Thanksgiving season seems an appropriate time for doing so. It is all right to thank God for His blessings upon us as a nation, but our thanksgiving will not find much grace in His sight if we use our bless- ings for selfish ends. Our thanksgiv- ing for prosperity, wealth, strength and power would be more impressive if accompanied by a prayer for wis- dom to use these things for the good of humanity and the world. It seems more like bragging than giving thanks to get down on our knees and thank God that we are bet- ter off than other nations. If we are better off than other nations, we should remember that we have been and should so use our superior resources and advantage: that the rest of the world will thank | God that we have them.
