HERE IS THE WAY
FOR JELLY MAKING
Something Every Housewife
Should Read and Learn
IVSore About It.
SOME FRUITS BETTER
THAN ARE OTHERS
The Way to Make It is Told in
All the Details in Following
Article.
A good jelly should he bright, of
pood color, and clear. When removed
from the glass, it should retain

be cut wtih a distinct cleavage, retain
i.ng the angles whore cut. It should
sparkle and bo tender enough to quiver
without breaking.
Fruit For Jelly Making.
The juice from certain fruits, such
as grape, apple, crahapple, orange, and
currant is better suited for making a
natural fruit jelly than juices from
other fruits. The juices from these
fruits contain the properties nocr.-/

"f'cid. Pectin, the fundamental jellymaking*
substance, d<>es not exist in
some fruits in sufficient amount t<>
make jelly without the addition of
pectin from some other source. The
p<ach, strawberry, and cherry are examples
of fruits which contain acid
but are lacking in pectin. Pear and
quince contain pectin but are deficient
in acid. If the missing proper,

jelly with the color and flavor of the
fruit selected can he made.
Kxrtacting the Juice.
Wash such fruit as berries, grapes,
and currants in running water and
raid 1 cup of water for each pound or
fiuit. Kor apples, quinces, and su-h
hard fruits, wash, slice, and add *1
cups water to each pound of fruit.

develops the pectin. As soon as
the fruit is tender th.e liquid should

in a cloudy jelly. After cooling

Used. If the pectin does not slip froa
the glass in one mass, less sugar \vil
be required. A fail' proportion is 2-*
cup of sugar to 1 cup of juice. If tin
pectin is thin and much separated
1-2 cup of sugar allowed for each cm
of juice will ho sufficient.
Details to lie Observed.
Quantity of juice to cook.?Th
quantity of juice to he eo<>ked at o v
time will depend upon the size of th
vessel and the methods of heatim
a\ailah1o. The capacity of the vers
used should he four times as great a
the volume of juice to he cooked. I
the attempt is made to cook a Irag
quantity of juice at one time over
.-.low flame, there will he a loss c
color arid a rlecrea.se in the yield, par
ly due to the destruction of the pet

When to add the sugar.?Who

sugar immediately and stir until tl

sugar when tho juice begins to bo
more time is given for the inversh

and there is less danger of chrysta1

Cooking the jelly*-?After the sug
lias dissolved, the cooking should

can be obtained more quickly by ra
id cooking. Long cooking will to
to darken the product and destroy t
pectin, which will cause the finish
jelly to be less firm.
Tealing for the fir.tohed jelly.?
thermometer can be used to grc
advantage to show when the jellyi
point is almost reached. No ext
temperature can be given, becau
the jellying point differs with diff<
cnl fruits, with the quantity of sug
used, and with the same fruits at d
\ i ; - 11
fcront seasons. In usir.g a thermemor

acM-ii noted that th ctemperatu e i
less than 1C." degrees C. or
-21 degrees F. or more than 10(? degrees
C. or 22-1 degress F. With
grape and currant jelly, between 100
egtws C. and 107 degrees C. or 222
degrees I*', and 224 degrees F. will
give the best results.
Since no definite temperature can
? given for the finished jelly, the
nost convenient means of determining
when it is finishde is to test it
with a spoon or paddle. Dip a spoon
.> wooden paddle in the boiling- mass.
Remove and cool by moving it back
and forth for a few seconds and then
allow the jelly to drop from it. As
long- as there is sirup present it will
'.un or drop from the spoon. When
the jelying point is reached, it will
break from the spoon in flakes or
sheets. When this jelly stage is reach
ed, remove the fire immediately and
fkim. Skimming at this point saves'
waste. (
Filling Jasses.r?After skimming
the jelly pour at once into hot steriliz
e l glasses and set aside to cool.
Cooling and .sealing.?Cool as rapidly
as possible, avoiding du<t which
will give contamination with mold.
When the jelly is cold cover it with
paraffin. By running a pointed stick
mound edge of the glass while the
paraffin is still hot, a better seal can
bo obtained.

o drive off excessive water.
Tough jelly.?Jelly is tough ox
\ stringy because too small an amount
of sugar was used for the quantity of
fruit juice taken or because the boiling
was continued after the jellying
p< int had been reached.
Crystals in jelly.?Crystals appear
h.oughout the jeiiy because of an ex

Universal Military Training Produces
Efficiency and Respect for Law
j
By R. A. White
* - i i
? I I I I f I I i I
!
I believe in universal military training and service because it is a
good thing for our young nun: (I) It is'good physical training; it takes
the kinks out of the stoop-shouldereil and puts red blood into th^ anemic.
(2) It teaches young men to obey. We are suffering from lack of discipline.
Young men do not know how to obey because they have not been i
made to obey. The schools are without effective discipline and the average
home has little or none. A large percentage of our lawbreakers are young
men from fifteen to twenty-one or twenty-two. Hotter for our young men
to know how to carry a riHe than a cigarette; to send a lead ball to the!
center of the bull's eye than to push ivory bulls into the pockets of a
billiard table; to love the red-bUoded service of the camp rather than
the anemic entertainment of cabarets. (3) Physical training and disci-|
pline breed efficiency for business. The time a young man may lose from!
his early business life will be more than compensated by bis increased
abijitv to do things, -4- . ,
Y * ~ v? . *
That these are not theoretical assumptions Germany proves conclusively.
When I first began going to Germany thirty years ago I decrkd
German military methods. For the last ten years I have felt otherwise.
In Germany a law is made to be obeyed, not broken. "Pas ist verboten"
is 110 idle sign. Military discipline is largely responsible for this respect'
for law. Germany estimates that her industrial and commercial efficiency
has been increased IGUj per cent through the military training of,
her young men.
I helieve in universal military training and service and a sane 'plena
redness because it is the only way to avoid war. Only mighty pro\ocation
leads a nation to attack another if that other is as strong or stronger
than itself. Had England, France and Kussia been as well prepared as
Germany there would have been no European war.

Knowledge of Food Values Necessary to

By Mrs. Irving Brock of New York
Before she starts her economies the hou>ewife should know where

unwisely. While saving the food supply, she can do a whole lot of harm
to her family and give absolutely no ai?1 to the government if she has
no knowledge of food values. Every woman should know just what foods
the government lacks and what to substitute without damage to the diet
of her family.
Because our women have adopted war menus, that does iv?t moan they

As John wont out t<? pick peas t??r
the Fourth-of-Ju!y dinner of his mothor
and himself, he paused, and his
dark eyes swept over the scene before i
him with a sense of pleasure, familiar
as It was, for the small farm stood on i
liitfh ground, with ureen fields and
woods stretching to where, a mile |
away, the clustered roofs and white ,
church spires, pricked out among the
green, stood where the village lay.
Going on. the young man soliloquized,
"I declare I feel like a kid, I'd like
to Jump up and down and holler. I've
put out the flag, and 1 dunno what else
to do, hut I'd like to have a real glorious
Fourth."
As he went on he bethought him of
a circus that was to take place in the
neighboring town of Herr.vdale, and
when a little Inter he returned to the
house, he looked up the handbill regarding
it. Yes, here it was. "Wonderful
