Ruth Davis Must Use Minimum of Sugar, Says Miss Tingle. Sweets Needed as Part of Reg ular Diet; Candy Sub stitutes Given. The making of "war candy” and “menu- making” were the topics dis cussed by Miss Lilian Tingle, at her weekly lecture, held in Villard at one o’clock this afternoon. ‘‘There, are three rules governing the making of war candy, that are simply absolute,” said Miss Tingle. First, there should be no candy made this year by the old methods, which take great am ounts of sugar ns n l>Hse. Second, only one pound of sugar should be used to five pounds of oft heir matetrialjs, and third, no one should eat candy ns an extra, but should use it ns a part of their regular diet.” Substitute Fruits and Juices Some of the candy substitutes that Miss Tingle recommends are made from canned fruits, partially dried and rolled in powdered sugar. Pates and figs make very good candy substitutes, when stuffed with nuts or with peanut butter, flavored with honey or maple syrup. Nougats may he made with syrup stiffened with gelatiue, while a very good chewing candy is made from equal parts molussei and Uuro, or other syrup, and a small amount of butter, flavored with peppermint, or vanilla. An excellent imitation fulge is made | from peanut butter and mashed po tatoes rubbed smooth with maple syrup, and flavored with apices. Fruit juices stiffened with gelatine, and rich preserves used in the same way, are appetizing Nuts and fruits may be ground fine and worked into paste, with the addition of n bit of lemon juice and powdered sugnr. Marsh mallows are made from one half box gelatiue. one half pint . elly and the white of an ogg. In regard to menu making, Mis< Tingle said, “There are four things to be considered in the making of a menu-— time, labor, coat and fuel. There is no patent medicine menu that, will fit all persons, or appeal to every individual; but a good menu should come within these considerations." A good meal should be wholesome, well balanced and attractive. Miss Tingle will continue her discus sion of menu-making next week.

The absence on the campus of Greek societies, nod national, makes tbs rule here ap«ply only to preparatory schools. Old Rule Resotnded The local chapter, it was explained by Celeste Foulkes, president, has here tofore been influenced by another rule, which deemed it necessary for a mem ber of a preparatory school sorority, to resign before January 1, 1910, in order to become open for pledging to a na tional soority “We nro informed, by the National headquarters,” said Miss Foulkes, “that the rule regarding resignations was never irpheld.

HISTORY OF FUR TRADE GIVEN COMMERCE CLASS Conservation of Supply a Botiness Proposition, Says Pauline Beals In Report. An interesting history of the fur trading activities of The northwest wee presented before the class in industrial and commercial survey of the school of commerce, on Wednesday afternoon, by Miss Pauline Beals, who had made an investigation of the subject Miss Beals’ report pointed out that fur tradiug was the earliest form of commercial enterprise in what now com prises the state of Oregon, and that the industrial development of the present day ia due largely to the firm founda tion established here by the early-day fur merchants. Among the principal fur-bearing ani mals now being caught in Oregon, Mias Beals enumerated marten., otter, bearer and mink. Some coaraer furs also are produced in 'this state, notably thane of the muskrat, skunk and raccoon. While Oregon does not rank high as a fur producing state at the present time, the value of the yearly output is estimated at $100,000. St. Louis con tinues to be the principal fur market of the United States, but Portland is the fur center of the nortbweat. "The conservation of our fur, aa well as our game is a business proposition,” declared Miss Beals, "and our fur bearing animals should have as much consideration as our forests and our water supply.” LEAVES TO AID RED CROSS Earl Kilpatrick and Family Depart far Seattle. 1-aci—Kilpatrick, secretary of the ex tension division, and family left laet Fri day night for Seattle, where Mr. Kil patrick will work in behalf of the Red Cross.
