Three Homemade Confections. 
Cocoanut Macaroons.—To one freshly 
grated cocoanut add the whites of two 
eggs and a pound of pulverized sugar. 
Set on the fire and stir until it becomes 
so thick that the bottom of saucepan can 
be seen as you stir. Have ready some 
sheets of paraffin paper, and with spoon 
and fork drop small cakes of the mixture 
upon them. Set in a very hot oven until 
the tops are brown. 
Turkish Delight.—Dissolve two ta¬ 
blespoons of gelatine in water sufficient 
to cover—cold. Add a cup of granulated 
sugar, boil twenty minutes, then add the 
juice from half a lemon and half an 
orange. When removed from the fire 
pour in a teaspoon of strawberry extract 
and a quarter cupful of finely chopped nut 
meats. When cool cut in small squares. 
Plain Fudge.—To a cup of milk allow 
quarter of a pound of chocolate cut in 
small pieces, a lump of butter the size of 
a walnut, and three cups of granulated 
sugar. Stir together constantly in a 
saucepan until they commence to boil. 
When a little dropped into cold water 
hardens it is ready to remove from the 
fire, add half a teaspoon of vanilla or 
lemon juice as flavoring. Beat the fudge 
until it is creamy, turn out on a buttered 
dish and score into squares before it 
hardens. Grated maple sugar in place of 
chocolate, or half brown sugar in place of 
all white makes a pleasing variety. 
The Screened Porch. 
People who hardly relish being called 
middle-aged can easily remember when 
flies swarmed in houses at their own 
sweet will and when eating in comfort 
was only accomplished by keeping the 
food covered till the last minute, and 
then brushing the flies vigorously while 
the meal was in progress. It was con¬ 
sidered a wonderful step forward when 
window screens came in, and so it was, 
and it was possible to eat and sleep in 
comfort. But when it was discovered 
that the keeping out of the flies also 
meant keeping out much of the fresh 
air a new plan had to be devised and 
the screened porch came in. If there is 
anything better in the future it is hard 
to tell what it will be since the screened 
porch stands for comfort, emancipation 
from work and plenty of fresh air, par¬ 
ticularly in the country. 
As everyone knows the Winter is the 
leisure season on the farm, and the Sum¬ 
mer the time when the women and girls 
are closely housed, cooking for harvest 
hands, canning and preserving; at least 
they were closely housed before the 
screened porch was thought of. In one 
beautiful country house last Summer the 
parlor was only swept twice, and some oi 
the living rooms were hardly used all 
Summer, because of the big screened 
porch, for the delighted family moved 
there to stay until cold weather drove 
them indoors. They cooked, they ate, 
they canned, they sewed, they entertained, 
they rested and some of them slept on 
the porch. They declared the Summer 
work was cut in half and the Summer en¬ 
joyment doubled, and all their friends felt 
sure they had not placed too high an esti¬ 
mate on the new farm convenience. For 
years they had enjoyed the porch in lim¬ 
ited fashion, but the outlay of a few dol¬ 
lars for wire netting transformed life for 
them all. 
One of the greatest benefits derived 
from the screened porch is the picnic at¬ 
mosphere even hard work takes on be¬ 
cause done in the open air. The most 
prosaic tasks become poetic almost in the 
fresh air with the blue sky visible and 
the song of birds and the scent of flowers 
greeting the ears and eyes constantly. 
Gently swaying back and forth in a big 
old rocking chair the mistress of the i 
house prepares her vegetables while chat¬ 
ting with a friend, and the girls are de¬ 
lighted to lend a hand with every house¬ 
hold task. Who could talk of drudgery 
under such conditions? The four walls 
of the kitchen will be comfortable and 
pleasing when Winter storms howl, but 
for the Summer the kitchen is deserted. 
And how the men enjoy a cool place to 
eat and sleep! Though the screened 
porch means more to the women and 
girls the men have their share of the en¬ 
joyment, while the babies enjoy it more 
than all. If any worried farmer is look¬ 
ing about for a means to make his daugh¬ 
ters content with country life let him try 
the screened porch. Hilda Richmond.

Mrs. Wise: “Look here, Anty, I 
want to show you how easy it 
is to do my washing. I cut this 
piece of garden hose just the 
right length to reach from the 
faucet inside, to my tubs out here. 
See, it runs right out the win¬ 
dow. I can fill my tubs without 
any trouble. And best of all, my 
fire’s out, the kitchen nice and 
cool and I’m washing with cool 
water because I use Fels-Naptha 
Soap. I’m nearly done now—■ 
and it’s just a little after ten!” 
Anty Drudge: “Yes, and I see you 
buy Fels-Naptha by the box, 
too—you’re certainly a clever 
woman.” 
Fels-Naptha is 
more than a soap. 
It is an easy, cool- 
water, no hard- 
rubbing way to do 
all kinds of work. 
It dissolves dirt 
so that when you 
come to wash 
clothes you don’t 
have to rub, rub, 
rub up and down 
on the washboard 
until your knuckles 
are sore and your 
clothes worn out. Just 
put the clothes to soak 
for 30 minutes in cool 
or lukewarm water 
with Fels-Naptha Soap 
and the hard part of 
your washing will be 
done for you. 
Never boil clothes 
washed with Fels- 
Naptha Soap. Just fol¬ 
low the directions on 
the red and green 
wrapper. 
Better bay it by the carton or box.
