Three lumps of sughr, the dietitians say, give one hundred calories or units of energy, as : many as a large piece of bread or four slices of bacon. So" be careful how you. disturb your digestive mechanism! If you can't digest six or eight hundred extra calories' worth of candy after dinner, you will have indigestion, of j course. If you can, you may have the extra nourishment stored neatly away to encumber your frame in the form of fat. On . the other hand, if you are a growing boy or girl, you probably can use more calories in a day than "an older person in two days. Figs, nuts, dates, raisins and peanut butter are all prime candy ingredients and real additions to the diet. Don't let the boys think? that candy-making is only for the girls. Many boys, by no means sissies, take delight in long hours of fussing over fudge and chocolate creams. The recipes which follow are all simple, economical and practical. Cocoa Fudge 1 cupful milk, 2 cupfuls sugar, butter size of an egg, 2 heaping tablespoonfuls tablespoonfuls cocoa, Vz teaspoonful vanilla added just before beating. Boil until it makes a soft ball in water. water. Beat till it thickens, and pour into greased pans. A little more trouble makes a much more delicious candy. When the fudge I is cooked, instead of beating immediately, immediately, let it stand until cold, then beat. The process will be longer, the beat- i ing harder and more prolonged, but the result is usually worth the effort. Cocoanut Fudge Make fudge as above. Omit vanilla, and just before turning out stir in three-quarters cupful cocoanut. Raisin Fudge Make as above, substituting three- quarters cupful seeded raisins for the cocoanut. Fudge-Covered Dates Remove pits of dates. Halve them and lay halves at intervals on greased dish. Make fudge as above but without without vanilla. Instead of pouring out, drop by the teaspoonful on each half date. This must be done quickly to avoid letting the fudge harden in the pan. Peanut Butter Fudge 2 cupfuls sugar, butter the size of an egg, 2 tablespoonfuls cocoa, 1 cupful cupful milk, 1 tablespoonful peanut-butter. peanut-butter. Cook carefully all ingredients but the cocoa. The peanut butter does not entirely dissolve, but when it is separated as much as possible, add-the cocoa, and cook until it forms a soft ball in water. Peanut Fudge Make fudge as in first recipe. Before Before turning out into pan, drop in one cupful finely chopped peanuts and stir ithe mixture well. _ Date and Peanut Butter Candy 2 cupfuls sugar, 1 .tablespoonful peanut-bqtter, 1 cupful milk, 1 cup- fulvpicted dates. Cook the sugar and milk and pea-, nut butter till ittifareads. Stir in one cupful pitted dates, and beat. The dates, will become finely divided, so? that little but the taste of them,tended them,tended with the peanut taste, is left. When sugary, like fudge, turn into pan. These recipes are improved~by adding adding a pinch of salt, or possibly a .little .little more, to alleviate the cloying taste. Honey Drops ' 1 pound white. sugar,. % cupful strained honey. Put on the sugar enough water to dissolve it; add the honey, and boil until it becomes brittle on being dropped dropped in cold water; when cool enough, roll into long, round sticks,* and cut off small drops with the scissors and pinch into shape. -- Cocoanut Buttercups - 1 pound confectioner's sugar, Vz cupful of grated cocoanut, 1 table-. spoonful ice-water, 1 teaspoonful vanilla, 1 egg-white. -Mix sugar with ice-water, the white of one egg beaten stiff, vanilla and grated cocoanut. Mix thoroughly. Form this paste into little round buttercup buttercup shapes, and let them stand a few hours to harden. Peanut Butter Chocolates 2 squares chocolate, peanut butter. Melt two squares bitter chocolate by placing in a cup which is standing in boiling water. Roll a small piece of peanut butter into a ball and placé on the end of a fork. Dip in the melted chocolate and place on a greased dish or paraffin paraffin paper. Make as many as desired desired . Fondant 2 cupfuls powdered sugar V*. boiled potato (mashed), Vz teaspoonful vanilla, vanilla, butter size of a walnut. If consistency is not right, add a little little hot water. Use this fondant to dip in chocolate and stuff dates. Or cover layer of fondant with layer of melted chocolate and cut in squares or oblongs. Molasses Peanut Candy 1 cupful molasses, Vz cupful brown sugar, 1 cupful whole peanuts/ Vt cupful cupful water, pinch of cream of tartar. Boil until it threads.

It causes a loosening of the teeth and may eventually affect the jaw itself if allowed to continue. The source of this infection is frequently improper care of the teeth or a general general rundown condition which allows the germs to gain access. . It was formerly considered, incurable, but it is now known that fhe disease may be entirely cored if taken in tile early stages. Careful treatment by a speeial- ty qualified dentist is necessary. a; _ Sweet sandwiches are especially convenient on those occasions when you wish to serve light refreshments. They are economical, too, since they are best made of thinly sliced bread a day or two old, and require only a scant filling. Use brown or white bread, and slice it very thin with a sharp knife. If you use butter, cream it before you spread it, and be sure that it is not too salt. Chop with a cupful of ginger very fine and blend with it enough thick, x^sweet cream to make the mixture of the right consistency for spreading. Put the filling between thin slices of buttered bread. You can make another another excellent ginger filling with preserved preserved ginger and candied orange peel. Chop equal quantities of the two ingredients very fine, and add enough ginger syrup and-orange juice to make the mixture spread well. Nuts and preserved ginger are another delicious delicious combination. Chop the two together together in equal quantities,'and mix in a little light-brown sugar and cream to moisten the whole. Cherry and almond sandwiches are delicious. Üse eqhal quantities of almonds almonds and preserved or candied cherries. cherries. Chop the cherries fine and pound the almonds into a paste; mix the two preparations, and add a; teaspoonful of almond extract and a little cream. Honey sandwiches, made by combining combining dates and raisins passed through I a food chopper and by adding to each ! cupful of the mixture two tablespoon- ; fuis of honey and one of orange juice, are unusually good. Chopped nuts, ;also, can be added with pleasing results. results. Another good sandwich is made by running dates and nuts through a food_chopper--half as many dates as nuts--and adding to each cupful o^be mixture a quarter of a cupful of maple sugar and a small amount of cream. Quince jelly mixed with a few shredded shredded mint leaves-and spread on thin buttered slices of bread or stale sponge cake makes a sandwich of excellent flavor. Currant jelly mixed with nut. meats also makes a good combination, To make chocolate sandwiches, melt two squares of chocolate, and when the syrup is partly cool add one half cupfûl of brown sugar, and two table- spoonfuls of cream. Flavor it with a teaspoonful of vanilla, and add chopped chopped nut meats until it is of the right consistency. Use the mixture as a filling between very thin slices of bread or slices of toasted sponge cake or any loaf cake. You can use marshmallows for sandwiches sandwiches by heating them in the oven until they are soft. Another good filling consists of thick strawberry preserves into which you have worked a tablespoonful of pineapple- juice and enough fresh grated cocoanut to make a paste. When the sandwiches are made of bread they will be more attractive if you trim the slices carefully round the edges and cut them into squares, triangles, triangles, rounds, finger lengths or fancy shapes. ./ * : CHRISTMAS CAROL.

A news agency is an accepted " fact to-day, but it was considered a nine- days' wonder in the old days, when a certain young English bank-clerk was struck with the idea of sending news from one place to another by means of mail-coaches. His chief idea was to supply information as to the state of the financial markets, and was much patronized by private individuals, and especially stockbrokers. He then extended his range, and by means of carrier-pigeons, who carried little silk bags round their necks, containing containing news items written on thin paper, paper, he gleaned news from the Continent.

We may be sure that he never forgot the agony of that disappointment or failed to associate it with the agony of the poor; and we cannot doubt that the mother love that taught him that bitter lesson in the early morning, knew how to make the rest of the day the happiest Christmas of his little life. On the Christmas Eve when Alfonso XIII. of Spain was seven years old, he put his little royal shoes, as usual, on the sill outside thé window of his bedroom, for in Spain the three kings of the Orient go about at Christinas putting gifts into every little shoe that they find awaiting them. But on Christmas morning Alfonso found no gifts in his shoes; only a note, that ran as follows: "To our beloved confrere, His Most Catholic Majesty, King of Spain: "You are expecting a'present, a very fine, beautiful, and .splendid one, such as kings give one another. But we have brought you no present, on purpose, because we want you to have a little disappointment. A king must learn what disappointment means, be- causè he has sometimes to cause disappointment disappointment to others, and to make them do what they do not wish to do. He must know how it feels to have that happen to. others by having some times felt it himself. "When you are a man and have everything you want, you must never j forget that there are many people in : the world who have .nothing at all; j you must notice these sad and dis- j agreeable things so as to-prevent them whenever you can. Remember that there are a great many children who are always disappointed. They want our toys very much. But those children children cannot have any presents from the Wise Men. They would have to put their shoes outside the windows of their room; but they haven't any room, any window, or any shoes." Probably" the wise mother who dealt the little king this blow could in no other way have so surely brought home to/him the meaning of want. Little as his own disappointment resembled resembled the suffering of the children of the p*or, itwas his own, and therefore therefore ma).e their mental state a hundred hundred tiities more real to him than it An English aviator's airplane can be converted into a tent by the addition addition of curtains between its planes.
