Apple Jelly Without Sugar.

A most excellent apple jelly can
be made in the following manner:
Select we'll ripcne1 apples, free
from rot, and make into cider, re-
moving the small PARTICLES of pun
mice by filterlng through muslin.
The cider is then placed in a
granite kettle ana allo we'd TO boil
very slowly, without ceasing, until
it becomes thick enough to Jelly
when cold; this may easily deter
mined by placing small quantity
III a saucr to cool. Pour the syrup
into jelly glasses or other recepta-
Cles, allow it to set firmly and then
pour over the top small quantity
of hot parradne, spreading it up
the sides Of the glass which will
protect the Jelly from m0ldiny, and
prevent any COElauilnallnS germs
from entering.
There is sufficient sugar and gel
atinous matter in we'll ripened ap-
pies to make stiff, tart jelly in
this manner. No sugar is used.
If scum forms while boiling, it
should be removed. Too strong
boiling will prevent jellying. One
gallon of cider will make from to
10 glasses Of jelly. This formula
is worth preserving, for i: has been
thoroughly tried.-Experimental
Station.

LAUNDRY DESTROYED
BY Fire at Dothan- Ex-Governor Oates
Speaks on Constitutional Convention

Dothan, March 7.-(Special)- 1.-THE hand
some new plant of the Dothan steam laun-
dry was destroyed by fire early Sunday
night. None of the property was saved.
The fire company succeeded In saving the
ice plant, which adjoins the laundry This
was one of the best equipped plants in this
part of the state, and had only been in
operation about two months. The loss will
be about $500, with insurance of $3.50 on
laundry. The damage to the ice factory
was slight, possibly 500, with no insurance.
The laundry will probably be rebuilt
Dothan now has two Ice factories, the
plant of the Dothan Ice company just hav-
ing been completed, and begun work yes
terday. The plant of Brooks & Morgan
has been running a week.
Ex-Governor w. c. Oates spoke at the
court house today on the constitutional
convention issue. The governor is a can
ddate from the state-at-large.
The fruit crop In this section will be cut

A FOrerunner of the Most
Fatal Disease.

Though its offensive features
are sometimes almost unbearable,
few people arc aware of the danger
of which Catarrh is the forerun-
ner. Catarrh invariably leads to
Consumption. Growing worse and
worse each winter, those who rely
upon the usual treatment of
sprays, washes and inhnling mix
lures find that it is impossible to
check the disease with these local
applications which only reach the
surface. The offensive discharge
increases all the while, causing q
feeling Of personal defilement, and
gota deeper and deeper until it is
only n question of n short time
nntil the lungs are affected.
The Importance of the proper
Treatment can therefore be readily
appreciated. But no good what
ever can be expected from local
applications, rs such treatment
never did cure Catarrh, and never
will.

The Jamestown was then under full speed

first seen issuing from the fore matches at
8 p. m. today, and the captain called the
crew to fire quarters. Everything was done
