AND WAITING
Having detailed a fatigue party to
load a lorry with flour, the sergeant
in charge went to see how they
were getting on. They weren't.
"What are you fellows waiting
for?” he shouted, when he found
them gazihg expectantly at the
sadflfe * r
•• ’Sall right, sergeant,*’ said the
wag of the party. "Those sacks
are all marked 'self-rising,* so we’re
Just hoping.'*
BEING COY
“What's the matter with Jones?.'*
"He wants the job, but he is afraid
he won’t look big enough for it un-
less he declines it’’
INDIGNANT
A young Irish couple had had a
daughter born to them. On return-
ing from the christening they met a
friend.
"An. phwat did ye call the little
darlint?” asked the latter.
"Hazel,** replied the fond parents
"Hazel!” ejaculated the friend.
"Glory be! There are thirteen
saints in the calendar, and ye have
to go and call her after a bally nutl”
Ode to Yuletide . .. Plum Pudding and Fruit Cake
(See Recipes Below.)
Cakes ’n* Puddin’s
Home is where the heart is and
Christmas is what tradition is. And
that tradition is
to a large extent
what foods you
serve. If you real-
ly want to make
it a season
for starry - eyed
brightness and
plain honest-to-goodness good cheer,
have a holiday with all the food
trimmings like frosted fruited cook-
ies, dark, spicy fruit cake and a
plum pudding mellowed to wonder-
ful goodness.
Begin these preparations now—for
the ingredients of Xmas cakes, pud-
dings and cookies take on a charm—
and flavor—with age. Preparations
can be a snap if you budget a day
for cutting up fruit and nuts, an-
other day for mixing and baking,
and a third day for packing.
First, for fruit cake—the cake
with almost two dozen extra special
ingredients. This year’s fruit cake
is tuned to the times, uses honey
and molasses to save on your pre-
cious sugar ration:
Fruit Cake.
(Makes 10 pounds)
1 pound butter or other shortening
1 pound brown sugar
10 eggs, well beaten
1 cup honey
1 cup molasses
W cup sweet cider
1 pound sifted eake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Vi teaspoon cloves
Vs teaspoon cinnamon
Vi teaspoon mace
Vi pound candied pineapple
Vi pound candied cherries
1 pound dates, seeded and sliced
1 pound raisins
1 pound currants
Vi pound citron, thinly sliced
Vi pound candied lemon and or-
ange peel
Vi pound nutmeats, chopped
s Sift flour once, measure, add bak-
ing powder and
again. Cream the
shortening thor-
oughly, add sug-
ar gradually, and
cream together
until light and
fluffy. Add eggs,
fruits, peel, nuts,
honey, molasses
and cider. Add
Bake in 4 (8 by 8 by 2 inches) pans,
lined with greased paper, in slow
oven (250 degrees) 3 to 3 Vi hours.
Plum pudding gets my vote as
being highly desirable for the fam-
ily feast at Christmas.
Plum Pudding.
(Makes 3 1-quart molds)
2 cups prunes, cooked
IVi cups currants
1 cup raisins
IVi cups citron, chopped
V4 cup preserved orange peel
1 cup candied cherries, chopped
1 cup nutmeats, broken
1 cup all-bran
Vi cup juice, from prunes
IVi cups butter or substitute
IVi cups sugar
4 eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
2 cups soft white bread crumbs
3 cups flour
Lynn Says:
Let’s Decorate! The fruit cakes
and puddings, of course! A clus-
ter of candied cherries in the mid-
dle with leaves fashioned of arti-
ficial rose leaves makes an at-
tractive cake.
You'll be praised for a rose
garnish made of gelatin candies
shaped like lemon and orange
segments into thin, lengthwise
slices. Roll a slice tightly to
form center of rose and press
other slices around it to make
petals.
Simpler decorations can be
made of almonds or other nut-
meats forming flowers with can-
died peel as petals or centers.
To store cake, place it in air-
tight container for several weeks.
Sound apples may be placed in
container, and changed as they
become shriveled, to provide
moisture.

Ever hear of putting a raw apple
or slice of one in the cookie jar—or
tin—if you still
have one to keep
cookies fresh?
You’ve no idea
how delicious
these fruity cook-
ies will taste if

above prescrip-
tion. Made-with-honey cookies are
much akin to fruit cakes and plum
pudding in that they need to ripen
and mellow:

When constipation bringi on diacoax-

dizxy spells, gas. coated tongue, and bad
breath, your stomach is probably 'crying
the blue.” because your bowels don t
move. It calls for Laxative-Senns to pull

bined with Syrup Pepsin for perfect ease
to your stomach in taking. For years,
many Doctors have given pepsin prepa-
rations in their prescriptions to make
medicine more agreeable to a touchy
stomach. So be sure your laxative con-
tains Syrup Pepsin. Insist on Dr. Cald-
well's Laxative Senna combined with
Syrup Pepsin. See how wonderfully the
laxative Senna wakes un laxy nerves and
muscles in your intestines to bring wel-
come relief from constipation. And the
good old Syrup Pepsin makes this laxa-
tive so comfortable and easy on your
stomach. Even finicky children love the
taste of this pleasant fr.-nity laxative.

bined with Syrup Pepsin, as directed on
