Just a few last minute Christmas suggestions for the table It is necessary to cool candy with out beating if a smooth creamy tex ture is desired. If sea foam, divinity or nugate fails to harden, it may be recooked over hot water until small amounts will harden on oil paper. Candy has reached the hard ball stage when the sirup brought above the surface of the testing water can be shaped Into a plastic but hard ball. The Christmas turkey may be tested for "doneness" by piercing one of the thighs near the breast If the juice does not show a red tinge, the turkey Is done. A pimento, rubbed through a sieve into mashed potatoes makes a col orful and tasty variation of the plain mashed potato. Pineapple may be colored and slightly flavored by dissolving red cinnamon candies in its juice and allowing the slices to stand in the juice about four hours. Red apple peeling may be cut and used as a garnish on salads. Lexington Boy Honored Following Heroic Feat Oregon State College, Corvallis, Dec. 17. (Special.)
