was that there were dead worms in the f ood , stuffs. The housewives of Richmond do not want? food of any kind that has live worms or dead 1 worms. A dead worm is a worn, and a comrais-j sion merchant that sells foodstuffs with worms j

in it deserves to be prosecuted.

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Sec- , . ond Class Mall Matter.

A Difference in Worms. Violators of the state pure food and drug law find little sympathy with housewives of Richmond. This community has been educated to the point where it demands that clean, unadulterated and wholesome food and foodstuffs be sold. It does not condone the "cheap" excuses that occasionally are advanced by dealers found guilty of violating the law. And, it may be said, in f airness to the rank and file of merchants that they do not oppose the operations of the state and city statutes and are satisfied with the inspection and work of Inspector McKinley. Now and then, however, a commission man

or a merchant objects. The last case came to light a few days ago when a commission house was prosecuted and fined for selling dried fruit that, contained worms. One of the members of the firm asserted in his own defense that he was willing to bet money that "no live worms could be found in the fruit." The implication, of course,

Caring For Hoboes. Tramps are given sleeping quarters at the city hall during the winter months. This does not mean that beds' and cots are provided for the men who are roaming through the country and stop in Richmond over night, but it does mean that the homeless men are given a shelter from the cold in the basement of the city hall near the boiler. Police officers provide the unfortunates with a cup of coffee in the morning and a "little bite." Charitably inclined persons help the officials by contributions of coffee and other foodstuffs. It was pointed out the other day in a news story that the police department believes that petty thieving is reduced in Richmond by the practice of giving homeless men a warm place to sleep and a small breakfast the next day. When a vagrant strikes RihcmOnd in the evening, he soon learns that he will be given a place to sleep at the city hall. This prevents his roaming through the streets, frightening women and children, and removes the danger of his entering a barn or perhaps entering a house to steal enough money to buy a lodging. The police department deserves commendation for the care it takes of tramps. A liberal donation of foodstuffs will help along the good work.

HOW TO MAKE CANDY FOR HOLIDAY SEASON

"The gift without the giver is bare," and most people would rather have a nice box of home-made candy than the ordinary purchased article, according to Miss Bab Bell, who furnishes directions which she has carefully tested at the Missouri College of Agriculture. She gives these brief rules: To make fondant, add one and onehalf cup of water and one-fourth teaspoon of cream of tartar to five cups of sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved, but no longer. Cook slowly to the soft boll stage, at 238' Fahrenheit. Wipe down the crystals from the sides of t vessel with a damp cloth wrapped around a fork. When done poor the syrup on a plotter. When cool enough to allow the fingers to be held in it, stir with a wooden spoon until it creams. Then knead until smooth. Wet and wring a small towel, place it over the fondant and allow It to remain there for an hour. This is called the curing process. Fondant, does not become stale hen kept, for several weeks, but improves with age. It may be made into a variety of candies, plain cream, fudge, stuffed dates, chocolate creams, fruit centers, maple creams, coffee creams, caramel creams, after-dinner TOts, cocoanut creams, cinnamon. Different flavors, colors and combinations with nuts and fruits give further variety. For the creams of different flavors, shape the fondant and work in the deBired flavoring. For fudge, when the syrup is placed in a platter to cool, cut the chocolate in small pieces and add to the syrup, let it melt and when beaten makes delicious fudge. For cinnamon balls, shape the fondant and roll in powdered cinnamon. For caramel creams, flavor with caramel. This flavoring may be made by melting sugar, then adding water and cooking until it becomes a thick syrup. For chocolate creams, melt bakers' chocolate and dip into it the cold fondant which has been shaped. After-dinner mints may b made by melting the fondant in a double boiler. Add oil of peppermint to taste, then drop the melted fondant by spoonsful

on oiled paper. Never cook the fondant directly over the fire; melt over hot water. Keep the top over the vessel so evaporation will not take place too rapidly. Fruits and nuts are especially good

spoon of vinegar, two tablespoons of boiling water, one-half cup of butter. Boil together until the mixture becomes brittle when tried in cold water; then pour into well-buttered pans. Pulled taffy may be made of two cups of sugar, one-half cup of vinegar, two tablespoons of butter. Boll until the mixture becomes brittle In cold water. Turn on a buttered platter to cool. When cold enough to handle, pull.

EARLY CITY HISTORY

Contributions on the pioneer days of Richmond will appear in this column daily.

A LONELY STRANGER. In 1831 a stranger appeared on the streets of Richmond. He looked like a Spaniard, and ft was surmised that he was a political. refugee from Mexico. But he never spoke of his past, and made few friends. He was well dressed and had money to pay his bills. Because he was not well acquainted with the English language he engaged Mr. Flnley to do some writing for him. While at the house he became interested in "the baby," who was In her second year; he asked the privilege of calling occasionally and they found him well educated and with refined manners. After a time he made pencil sketches of Mr. and Mrs. Finley and the little girl. They were drawn with a common lead pencil on sheets of unruled letter paper. Any one who knew my parents would have recognized the likeness. The drawings were in my possession until recently when I gate them to one of my family. The stranger often spent the evening in the bar-room of the tavern, listening to the talk around him but seldom taking part in the conversation. You know that the license of a tav ern keeper required him to furnish

liquors" this was a temptation to the lonely man and he drank freely, when the tavern was closed for the night he retired to his room in the village. One very cold night he left the tav

without further thought of the stranger. In the morning his lifeless body was found on the sidewalk. He bad either fallen and Injured himself or was unable to rise before tie cc" rendered him insensible. He was. known by the name of ' allust. SARAH A. WRIOLEV.

How to Prevent Croup. Every effort should be made to prevent the attacks by giving the child a light supper and plenty of fresh air at all times. The child should be warmly clad when out of doors. Especially the feet ' should be well prch tected and under no circumstances should the child be allowed to remain with wet or cold feet. Then watch for the first symptom, hoarseness, and give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy at once and the attack may be warded off. This remedy is a favorite with Ihe mothers of croupy children and can always be depended upon. It is pleasant and. safe to take. Obtainable everywhere. Adv.
