DESSERTS or FRUIT
HOW HOUSEWIFE CAN USE LEFT
OVER PRESERVES.
Two Recipes That Afford an Agree
able Change After the Family
Has Become Heartily Sick
of Sauce"

Often at this time of the year the
housewife has still a few jars of pre-
served fruit on hand. She and her
family are heartily sick of sauce"
Try this plan of making two delicious
desserts from one quart jar of peaches.
Preserved strawberries, cherries, etc,
are equally good to use. Separate the
peaches from the Juice.
Recipe No. Rub the peaches to a
pulp through a sieve. Add half cup
ful of sugar If the fruit is not very
sweet. Whip a pint of cream stiff.
Mix well with the peach pulp and
turn into two one-pound empty bak-
ing powder cans. Cover with oiled
paper (the paper from cracker boxes
is good to use) and press cover on
tightly. Bury the cans in finely
chopped ice and rock salt (equal por-
tions) for two hours. This serves
seven or eight people.
Don't think because you are not
used to making the ice cream that
you cannot make this dessert. 1t is
very simple For a frozen whipped
cream dessert a freezer is not neces-
sary. Any two quart kettle will hold
the ice and salt. Personally always
use one of the kettles from my fire.
less cooker. place several folds of
newspaper directly inside the kettle
to fill up space SO that l won't need
to use much ice and salt. When
packed I put the kettle away in the
freless cooker until time to serve.
Recipe No. 2-You will have about
two cupfuls of fruit strip from your
jar of peaches. Soak one and half
pounds powdered gelatin in a half
cupful of cold strip for five minutes.
Bring the rest of the strip to boil
sweeten if necessary and pour over
the gelatin, stirring it until dissolved,
Set in cool place to harden.
The peach gelatin may be served
with whipped cream. Or before the
gelatin hardens, you may whip into
1T the :stiff1y beaten white of an egg
and make a thin custard from the
yolk to serve as a sauce around the
gelatin.

Removing Smoke Stains.

A housekeeper had the misfortune
to have fire and, while everything
was not destroyed, the smoke pene-
trated into the drawers holding table
and bed linens and the smoke stain
seemed next to impossible to remove.
She tried everything she could think
of or that was suggested, and finally
found that by soaking the white
clothes over night in cold water and
plenty of kerosene, then washing
them in the usual manner and hang
ing them in the sun to dry, all traces
of smoke stains had disappeared

MARCUSE; CALIFORNIA,
LAND FOR PROFITABLE FARM NC.

Marcuse Colony, located in Suffer
County, which is in the heart OF the
Sacramento Valley is fast coming to
the front as a farming community in
which nearly every agricultural prod
uct known may be successfully raised
without irrigation.
The soil is a dark, sandy loan,
sedimentary in character, level and
we'll drained. It has the advantage
over other soils in that 1t is loose in
character and superior to heavy soils.
With this wealth of soil, abundance
of water, unexcelled climate and long
growing season, Marcuse Colony is
the ideal place for the homeseeker
with limited means, the worn out pro-
fessional man, or the young man look
ing for a small farm in a healthful
climate.
The proximity of Marcuse Colony to
Sacramento, furnishes a ready market
for vegetables, poultry, eggs and
dairy products. Fruits, vegetables,
alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry
yield large returns. The rainfall is
certain and drought is unknown.
Land is yet moderately priced, but

holding of the Panama Pacific Expo
sition in San Francisco during 1915,
is bound to raise the price, and wheth-
er for a home, or for an investment,
now is the time to purchase. Land
may be had in tracts suitable to the
means of all and the results obtained
are almost beyond belief. Further in
