TO MAKE LEMON JELLY.
Large Quantity Can Be Prepared In
Very Short Time.

Lemon Jelly is the foundation for
many dainty summer desserts. Here
is a good recipe for a large quantity.
One box of any of the patent gelatines
soaked for an hour or more in a pint
OF cold water. Turn this into a enam-
eled stew pan; pour over it three pints
Of boiling water. Add two cups OF
sugar, one stick of cinnamon, tho
Juice of four lemons and a little
grated rind. Allow this to stand on
the stove until the gelatin is thorough
ly dissolved. Strain into a mold and
set away to harden. If placed on ice
as soon as cool this jelly will form
in few hours, but 1t is safer to al
low five or six, and it is really better
the next day. To make a fresh-fruit
jelly from the remains of a lemon

cover the bottom of fancy mold with
strawberries, pour over this some Of
the melted jelly and allow it to form,
then add a layer of bananas sliced and
more jelly, finally a layer of sliced
oranges with the last of the jelly. Dur
ing the raspberry season a delicious
jelly is made with a combination OF
lemon jelly and raspberries. A dainty
company dish is to sprinkle grated
cocoanut over this fruit jelly and
throw a few candied cherries over
that.

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.


The Medical Times for April in
moment OF frankness explains the
whole opposition OF physicians to pat
ent" medicines which are taken with.
out a prescription, in the following
words:
I'VE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year s62.OOO,O0O has been ex.
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country a yearly
income of $4,000. In the face of such
facts as these, all talk of love OF hui
manity, altruism, self.abnegation and
the like becomes cheap and nauseat.
ing. II appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place TO homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent" medl.
cine business is about $40,00O.O00 in
stead OF SCI, 100000 but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $3.50 0,OOO.-
600. This is reached by allowing an
average income Of $4,000 to each OF
the $4,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that n gross
business of 100000 is to be divid-
ed between $4,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $40.

There is a small boy IN this town,
says the Baltimore American, the
son OF rather distinguished lawyer,
who has decided opinions on what
constitutes true aristocracy. One day
recently n friend called upon his
mother, and, while waiting for the
hostess, was entertained by the small
boy.
What are you going 10 do when
you grow up?" was the stereotyped
question she propounded in the effort
60 start the conversation.

MADE A NEW FASHION.
Good Joke Played In Old Days on
Would.Be Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
a good story of trick played by
knight upon a would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
of Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, OF the proud humor which our
people have TO be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
TO be made. John brakes, a shoe
maker, coming TO this tailor's and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make It
Of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
TO the tailor to be measured for his
gown. and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose it was.
John brakes, the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made OF" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make IT," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to

LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED
TFGST.
Responsibilities Of officers and Dl.
rectors.

Evidently President Kingsley Of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect TO the responsible
ity and duty Of directors Of corpora
tions. Speaking 70 the new board Of
trustees, on the occasion of his elec-
tion to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life IN
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
Of public service and with the respon.
sibilties that attach to a going bust
ness which at the same time must be
administered as trust"
He also realizes that similar respon.
sibilties rest upon the officers OF the
company. Il understand" he says,
your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur
den for you who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact
ing details to which II is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My
long connection with the New York
Life-covering nearly twenty years
NY service in about every branch OF
lSe company's working organization,
gives me, as | believe, profound ap-
probation, not merely Of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shoul-
ders, but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main.
tanned at all times by the man who
serves you and the policyholders in
this high office"
Best of all, perhaps, he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short OF
performance. MY thanks, therefore,"
he continues, "for an honor which out
ranks any distinction within the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they must be read out of
the record l make day by day."

The complaints about the poor pay

Sanitation Of Small Towns.

We hear much OF the reduction in
the death rate of large cities in recent
years. but very little about the i'm.
provement OF the health Of small
towns. IL is well known, says the In
dependent that all the infectious dis
eases claim many less victims in city
life than they did % years ago, and
the reason for It is not far to seek.
Cities established departments of
health. gave to them ample powers
and then insisted on their being ef
fective If their appropriations were to
be continued. The consequence has
been that not only has much suffer
ing been spared but thousands-nay
even hundreds of thousands-of peo
pie are now alive who. in the words OF
one prominent sanitarian, have nc
business being alive-they would have
been dead If the death rate that pre-
vailed 20 years ago still obtained
Had they died their death would have
been considered as from the hand oi
God. We know that their living is
the result of the taking Of some very
simple measures for the prevention OF
disease.
