EXPERT ADVISES CARE
IN SUGAR PREPARATION
Miss Lilian Tingle Tells How Long Sweet Should Be Boiled in All Success
ful Candy-Making.
CAXDV SERIRS XO. 5.
HT LIUAN TIXGI.K
ly unrrlatrd rrclp. all of whlcflT
howevw. depend for their success
upon careful attention to tile higher
temperatures of angar boiling, and a
knowledge of the twhavlor of sugar at
these higher temperatures.
Irt me remind you of om of the
points mentioned In the flmt lemon:
ID The tendenev of u(tar to cryral
lixe out when cooked above 240 degrees
K. unless some acid or gluco?e Is pres
ent. b) The tendency to granulation on
allrring. henc the fact thai sugar
syrup, made with water, should never
be stirred while boiling. Mixtures con
taining milk or cream or molasses
usually need stirring in order to .pre
vent their burning: but such mixtures
ipenoche. fudge, caramels, .etc.) usually
have either a slightly granular consis
tency, by intention, or contain so much
glucose that the danger of granulation
la not great. Sugar should always be
stirred and dissolved before boiling point
Is reached.
fc) The rapidity with which "hard
crack" becomes "barley sugar:" 'bar
ley sugar." "light caramel;" and "light
caramel." "dark Itfltter) caramel." even
after the pan Is removed from tha firs.
Peanut, almond, or pecan brittle Boil
togeiner two ciipa light brown sugar;
one-half ctrp water: and 'either one ta
blespoon lemon juice or one teaspoon
cream of tartar, or two tablespoons
vinegar. Or use two cups white sugar
and one-cniarter glucose or "corn syrup"
(glucose under another name), with
water enough to dissolve the sugar.
Cook to the "barley sugar stage." or
"very light caramel" 290 degrees F. to
310 degrees F. according to taste. Have
ready the prepared nuts, and well oiled,
warmed pans. The crisped candy can
be poured over the nut, or the nuts
sprinkled over the poured candy: or,
with care, the nuts can be put into the
cooking pan. Pour quickly into the oiled
pans and spread, as thinly ss possible,
by tipping the pans. Hold them over
the fire. If the sugar hardens too quick
ly. When cold, snap in pieces.
Another kind is made by adding a
little soda. Just before pouring, so that
the "brittle" becomes lighter and
porous. Add the soda tone-quarter tea
spoon), not all at once, but In two doses;
and be careful that you do not scald
yourself, or the stove, when the sugar
bolls up.
Glace oranges Have ready carefully
prepared seedless orange sections, un
broken, and with every superfluous bit
of white pulp removed. Let dry v
standing overnight. Prepare some "b.rV
lev tugar" (290 degrees F) as above.
Set the pan. at once, in warm water,
to retain the same temperature. Care
fully dip the orange auctions, one at a
time, using a small pair of candy tongs.
Stir as little as possible, and avoid any
moisture, on what you are dipping; or
you will have, a candied-sugar coating
Instead of the crisp, clear, glassy one
you are aiming for. These orange sec
tions are- usually served in little paper
cases and are "very correct (also ex
pensive V ordered from a confectioner)
for teas.' luncheons and card parties.
Place nutrr "marrons." French fruits and
marshmellows are prepared, in the same
way. Glace sweetmeats require more
care In dipping than fondant or candied
ones: and like peanut brittle and other
crisp confections, they do not keep well,
as they quickly absorb water from the
atmosphere, and become sticky or can
dled. A good "fruit bar" can be made by
boiling two cups sugar, one-half cup
glucose, with enough water to dlssovle
the sugar, to 290 degrees F. A mixture
of walnuts, pecans. Braxil nuts, glace
cherries, glace pineapple, citron, dates,
etc., can be held together by the brittle
sugar, molded In a pan one to two) Inches
deep, and then cut In bars.
"Salt Water" Taffy Cook 2 cups sugar,
cup glucose and 2 tablespoons butter to

JAILS NO LONGER NEEDED
FOR DRUNKEN PRISONERS
If Precedent Set by Police Judge Kepford is Followed
Instead of Usual Fine and Jail Sentence He Sent
Prisoner to Neal Institute for Treatment A
Satisfactory and Most Happy Ending to
the Judge's Experiment.
DBS MOIXKS, Iowa. Feb. 18th. 1910.
To Whom It Mav Concern:
This is to certify that I drank whisky for fourteen years, one year after
another, going from bad to worse each year, and the last five or six years I
could not get enough to satisfy my craving for drink. I was a total wreck upon
the streets of Waterloo, my home town, and a policeman took me In charge
one lav last week when I had drunk a half gallon of whisky and a case of
bqer in' the twenty-four hours previous, and he turned me over to Police Judge
Kepford who sent me to the Neal Institute at Des Moines. When I arrived I
was more crazv than drunk I might say. My nerves were shattered, my stom
arh was on fire, my brain whirling, and I was a total wreck. As a patient I
was received cordially at the Institute, and every attention given me. Today
1 am a man again, and I wish that I could only tell yon what this Neal treat
ment did for me. Mv nerves are so steady, my mind clear, and I have no appe
tite for whisky. 1 am greatlv Indebted to Judge Kepford for his kindness In
sending me to the Ksal Institute, for this Is the greatest liquor cure in ths
world. - (Signed) THOS. STOCKS.
It is only a question of time until the officials of all larpe cities will
adopt this method of dealing with all .drunken prisoners, and it certainly
will be a great step toward eradicating the evils of Alcoholism.
With a Neal Institute located here in Portland, at 354 Hall street, every
man or woman addicted to liquor, or their friends and relatives, are af
forded advantages that will do away with much unhappiness and misery
of the community. There is absolutely no reason why everyone addicted to
Alcoholism should not become sober, steady citizens. The doubt of the
result, fear of publicity or disastrous results is absolutely and entirely
eliminated by the Neal Institute and their system. The Neal Institute ac
cepts all Alcoholic .cases, in any stage, affords every patient the best of
accommodations, strict privacy, without the employes knowing name of
patient. The patient takes no financial risk whatever, for the patient is
accepted under the positive understanding, under legal Bond and Contract,
that if a perfect and satisfactory cure is not effected, treatment is taken
at Our Expense.
There are no Hypodermic injections or disagreeable features the treat
ment is mild and easy to take, containing only vegetable remedies and
simple tonics.
.f urthermore mere are no weary weejes
or months of waiting or doubt, for the Neal
treatment effects a perfect cure in Three
Days' time. .
'The Neal treatment is indorsed by lead
ing physicians, ministers, Mayors, Police
Judges, prominent public men of the North
west and elsewhere, as well as hundreds
of patients, their friends or relatives, .and
their testimonials can be seen at any time,
at the reception office of the Neal Insti
tute of Portland.
It should be the Duty of Everyone in
'Ti fi. Need of Help, or their friends and relatives
to call or Write Today. Everyone receives
the most courteous attention and all trans
actions of the Neal Institute are Strictly
Confidential.
Patients Received Night and Day.

glass doors, making the halls light and
pleasant. The woodwork is of the best

of the most attractive rooms In the build
ing Adjoining this is the serving pantry,
connected with the kitchen below by
dumbwaiters, provided with marbletop
tables and a large steamtable where food
can be kept hot.
Opening off the dining-room is) small,
pleasant breakfast-room to be used by
invalids or as a place to hold afternoon
.. Next to this are the office and
reception - room and superintendent's
rooms.
The men's sitting-room and ths library
both have open fireplaces.
Mrs. Mann Is greatly pleased with the
fact that the Woman's Club recently
voted to present her with a grandfath
er's clock to be put in the main hall.
One wing of this floor is for the use
of women and the other for the men,
each side being provided with a sun
porch 40x12 feet. These porches have
walls of glass and are fitted with screens,
making them ideal lounging places dur
ing the Summer. It is planned to fur
nish these with rugs, couches and easy
chairs.
Kspeclally light and airy is the wo
man's sitting-room. overlooking the
court. This will be furnished by the
First Presbyterian Church.
Another large and pleasant room, which
promises to be' one of the finest in the
building is the social hall, which has
many large windows and an open grate,
also a place arranged for speakers, so
that church services can be held there.
Another feature will be the furniture.
This was given to Mrs. Mann by her
father as a wedding gift, pver the man

Mann.
One of the parlors on this floor will
be furnished by- Mrs. J. G. Mack, while

home remedies and quick-aid materials.
There is also a sewing-room which
will be for the use of all the inmates.
. Furnishings Donated.
Bedrooms upon this floor will be fur
nished by ths following: Mrs. H. L. Pit
toe k, Mrs. H. S. Glle, Mrs. Hannah Rob
ertson, Mrs. H. C. Ewlng, Frank Robert
son and George B. Cellars. Mrs. Mann
will also fit up a room with furniture
which belonged to her mother.
Throughout the entire building there
are wide, light halls; baths and lavatories
equipped with ths latest appliances in
plumbing fixtures; large closets; linen
and supply rooms, and cloak and hat-rooms.
Inmates of this home will be treated
as guests and not as objects of charity.
This, was Mrs. Mann's idea. "This way
of looking askance at a person who is
an Inmate of an old people's home," she
said, "is all wrong. There are many
elderly persons, genial and well educated,
who are alone in' the world. To these
this Institution will offer the desired
home atmosphere."
A fixed sum will be set as a life mem
bership fee, and those who desire can
pay a certain amount each month. Ad
mittance fees will not te ample to main
tain the home, and until it is well es
tablished, there will be, no doubt, con
siderable expenses.
To plant a portion of the grounds to
small fruits and vegetables, is the plan,
and chickens will also be raised. This
will help in the expense maintenance.
Husband's Ambition Realized.
Shortly before Mr. Mann's death, hs
conceived the Idea of building an insti
tution for old people. Ho personally se
lected the site, but ho died on Thursday
and the papers were to be signed on
the following Tuesday.
Remembering it was one of his pet am
bitions to have the home erected, Mrs.
Mann has personally supervised this
work. She visited the East to get ideas,
and has seen to it that everything is of
the best and modern.
With Mrs. Mann it has been a work
of love, and the handsome structure
stands as a monument to her husband.
Upon the gray cornerstone is inscribed:
"In Memory of P. J. Mann, Erected by
His Wife. A. M. E. Mann."

MALBROUK OPERA SUCCESS
Paris Audiences Pleased With Ver
sion Given in French.
PARIS. iDec. 17. (Special.) Leon
cavallo's first essay in opera bouffe,
"Malbrouk Goes to. War." already
heard In Florence, Rome and Naples.
has in the French version of A. Nessl
and Maurice Vancalre been attracting
good houses to the Apollo.
The story is that while Malbrouk is
at the wars his young squire imper
sonates him and successfully takes in
his bride, whom Malbrouk no connec
tion with Marlborough, the famous
British general is a kind of Captain
Bombastes, and judging- from the
dresses, seems to have flourished in
the picturesque daj's of coats of mail
and chain armor.
As to the score, it is serious in its
main quality, and a little more fun
might not have been amiss. Parodies of
Rossini and Wagner are Introduced by
way of a Joke, but musically, the best
role is that of Malbrouk himself, a
typical comic Italian baritone part,
well sustained by Signor Corradetti.
From a dramatic view point, the two
best parts are those of a grotesque
chamberlain, and amorous duenna. In
which M. Paul Ardot and Madame
D'Hervilly were seen to advantage. The
tenor, the squire, M. Colomb, and the
soprano, Madame Cesborn, Malbrouk's
sham bride, acquitted themselves tunefully.
BOOK AND FACT COINCIDE
Younghusband Comments on Selec
tion, of Indian Ministers.
LONDON, Dec. 17. (Special.) One of
the mofrt extraordinary literary coinci
dences of recent times is contained in
Colonel Your gh us band's new travel book
"India and Tibet;,' published on the day
Lord Morley resigned control of the India
Office, for a less . onerous post in the
Cabinet.
The author, one of Britain's cleverest
administrators in remote corners of her
Empire, indulges In some cauetic comment
upon the familiar fact that the Minister
In control of India has In almost every
case not even seen the country from
the window of a railroad car. In regard
to this curious fact, the author adds:
"Even when there does happen to b
available, a politician who has visited India
and specially studied it, wno. being a Per,
has naturally some sympathy with the aris
tocratic inclination of Indian methods of
rule, who, being a Liberal might be expect
ed to Infuse into any too aristocratic meth
ods a. sufficiency of the English democratic
spirit, he is put like Lord Crewe) to
control colonial affairs.
Within an hour after the book contain
ing these opinions was published, came
the announcement of Lord Crewe's jh
pointment to the India Office.
