FRUIT ICES.

Fruit ices are made by adding water
and sugar to frIit juices and then
freezing the mixture. In warm
weather an ice will have more Dods
when the sugar andwatcr are boiied
together for at least five minutes
For instance, to make raspberry ice
boil together one quart of water ana
a pound of sugar for five minutes
Skim and ,cuol; when cold add a
quart Of raspberries that have peeh

Juice of two lemons. Put the mixluie

The fire district showed plainly that the

| Just parsimonious.
| Recent developments guarantee that
when special meeting is called I'm the

will be on the warpath.
