PEACH CONSERVES GOOD
AND MAY BE PREPARED
WITH LITTLE WORK.

Peaches are plentiful this season and
are already sold at reasonable price
This Will mean plenty of preserving
Peach conserves are good, Divide the
peaches in half, remove the stones, and
pare them. Roll the peach in powdered
white sugar which is ready IN a plate
until they will not take up any more.
Place all the halves on a fiat plate
with the stone sides up, so they Will
retain the juice. Put them in the sun.
The next morning roll them again. and
as soon as the juice seems set turn the
other side toward the sun.
Pack them in glass Jars when thor
oughly dry. These make delicious
sweetmeat. If they are TO be eaten at
the table put over the fire in porcelain
with q little water and stew for a few
minutes.
Good Peach Jelly.
Peach jelly should be made from
sound peaches. Wash them, use the par
ings OF all peaches and a few pieces
Of the fruit. Boil these together in
enough water to cover them. strain
through q cloth bag
To each pint Of juice use one pound
Of sugar and one lemon. Boil the strain
ed juice for twenty minutes before add
ing the sugar. which has already been
heated IN the oven. Boil again for tive
minutes and pour into jelly glasses.
Canning Peaches.
To can peaches, allow one-haf pound
Of sugar to one pound of peaches. Put
the sugar on the fire with little water,
and let boil until the syrup is perfectly
clear. Pack the jars tightly with the
peaches and MI with the-syrup.
Put these Jars in a large Doiler of
water. Stand them on wood and do not
let them touch each other. The water
should be within three inches from the
top OF the jar.
Cover the boiler and boil until tender.
When the water is cold remove the jars,
I'll up with boiling water. and seal air
tight.

GIRL KNOWS MUCH.
BUT TELLS NOTHING
Miss May Bowling More
Silent Even Than
Hitchcock.

Even the keenest politicians IL the
country have been forced TO acknowl-
edge that there are a few women in
the world who keep their own counsel
Their deductions have been drawn
mainly through the fact that the Of
fetal telephone operator at the national
Republican headquarters in New York
CITY is a woman, and that IN spite of the
strictly confidential messages that so
over the wires every minute in the
day there has vet TO be a single leak
counted up against Miss Bowling.
The position of Miss Bowling Is one
Of the most important in connection
with the campaign but even Frank II.
Hitchcock, the sphlnl--like chairman
must take or his hat TO Miss Bowling.
She knows much, but tells nothing.
