f v " Tuesday, December 22." 1959 THE McHENkY PLAINDEALER Wonder Lake SENATOR McCLORY TELLS ODDITIES IN LEGISLATURE Jane Ducey Christmas tree bills, those benefiting private or charitable organizations, are on the wane in the, Illinois legislative .^scheme of things, according to Sen. Robert McClory of Waukegan, in his talk to the Chamber of Commerce Thursday * night. At one time they cost a quarter of a million dollars' a year, but have been reduced to few at present.. Oddest of the "legislative oddities" in our opinion was the bill (which passed House and Senate) which^ would require every cat or kitten to wear a bell, according to McClory. Fortunately Gov. Stevenson vetoed this ornatholigist's. dream and saved the law. enforcers the headache of trying to make this one stick, W On a par with the belled cats was a highly controversial bill in the twenties which would outlaw heels on women's shoes which were higher than 2". In g e n e r a l , h o w e v e r , McC l o r y said most of the bills pass unanimously, with about 2 per Cent in the contested class. The Senator favored the practice of- lobbying explaining as there are thousands of "ills presented, it is physically impassible to read fhem'in toto' w-ith the result that the legislator resorts to a digest of the bill. Even this does not allow for research of a controversial subject and the lobby- . ing groups provide the pro and con of the issue to clarify. McClory upheld the manner in which our legislature oper-, «tes in which the representaves meet for six months out" of every two years. This precludes full Jime politicians serving in these posts. Our, representatives come from every walk of life, spending about eighteen months of every twen- • ty-four at their regular jobs. This keen,s__th.em. close to their constituents and gives them a perspective which is that of an ^.verage citizen, he said.

What can you tell me about ileitis--the. causes and cure, fkjif any?--A. ^rA. Ileitis means inflammation of the lower Ioojjs of the small intestine. Ileitis is chiefly a disease of youth, although it may occur in persons of any age. The exact cause of the disease is unknown •although claims have been made that ileitis follows epidemics of intestinal dysentery. Proof, to date, is lacking. The vast majority of ileitis sufferers fall into the age bracket between twenty and thirty years. It is ordinarily rather ^mild but complications can de- . yelop which ma#6fe^uite.serious, fcure. or at l^ast tnfe relief of symptoms, is possible under medical treatment. Sirgery to remove the inflamed part of the intestine *is sometimes desirable but even this is no guarantee against later flare-ups. Q, Some people beliere that the moon influences the gerurination of seeds, is it possi~ for the moon to influence human functions as welt? A. Two physicians recenltlv reported- some interesting ideas about this subject. They showed that the human birth rate may be slightly influenced by the phases of the moon. The moon (and the Sun) produce the tides of the sea and also a land tide. The doctors reasoned that since our bodies' are about two-thirds "sea" and one-third "land," we may be influenced by gravitational pull, light intensity, and other factors that vary with the lunar cycles. None of these things have been proved but they make interesting speculation. y Our professional reputation Is the best recommendation of our Prescription Service.

To heip you get crisp, tender and tasty candy. Mrs; Pearl Janssen, University of Illinois home economist, makes these suggestions: Cook the sirup slowly. The Cooking is a '^jvatch and wait" process, so be patient. The results will be worth the time you spend. More carmelization as well as more even browning will take plpce. These processes give the' candy its distinct flavor and color. CoQk the sirup to 300-310 degrees F.. or ° the hard-crack stage. A candy thermometer is more accurate than the coldwater test for checking temperatures. If you prefer more caramel' flavor and color, cook the ; candy mixture beyond 300 de- : grees F. But at this high temp- . ture you will need to watch and stir very carefully to get , the desired amount of caramel- , ization without getting a bitter taste. ' ' I Add a little soda to the sirup mixture toward the end of the cooking period. Soda* helps tonmake the candy tender and brittle: It also promotes caramelization. j If you use raw peanuts, add them to the sirup as^ soon as the sugar ^dissolves. Then con- ' tinue cooking to completely i cook the peanuts. If the nuts are cooked, stir them into the sirup when it becomes thick, about 295 degrees F. The Candy is then easier to' spread and hanc|le; than when the nuts are added at the end of cooking. Pour the candy out in thin layers. Use several' greased cookie sheets if it will help make the layers thinner. Then,, when y, is nearly cool, stretch it as thin as^ possible. Don't dawdle, because time is valuable. Corn sirup is often added to peanut „ brittle to prevent the formation of crystals when the candy is stored. Also, for taste variation, try cashew nuts, almonds, pecans or Brazil nuts instead of peanuts. •$ . A HVS RENTS Floor Senders t<> Roiary Tillers. EVergreen 5-4123 HERE'S WISHING A HAPPY HOLIDAY .
