Spoiled in Making.


Il have made tutti fruitti according to
recipe that appeared in the Corner
some months ago. 1t was this. Put
into a jar pint of the best brandy; "A
pint of fresh Strawberries, one pint of
cherries, one pint of pineapple, one pint
of red raspberries, one pint of black
raspberries, one pint OF blackberries. To
every pint of fruit add the same guam
tity of sugar, and stir well each day I'M
Ill the sugar Is dissolved This does not
have to be sealed or cooked" Just as
| put in the last fruit and sugar the
mixture began to ferment. Can you tell
me how to stop the fermentation with
out boiling the mxturey J. r."
The recipe in question was none OF
mine, but the contribution of a CORE
spondent, who vouched for its excellence.
She erred in leaving you to suppose thai
the fruits were to be added according
to their season. There is manifest in
congruty in calling for blaekberries and
Strawberries for the same conserve. To
secure both you take several weeks In
the process. Again. a pint of brandy is
not enough to preserve from fermenta-
ton all the fruits demanded The main
trouble was in Keeping the jar open
while you put in the various ingredients.
II should have been filed at one time
and set away in a cool place. regret
that you should have been misled by a
formula so clumsily expressed and so
untrustworthy. The quantity OF sugar
is excessive. Here is my tried and true
recipe for the mixture: Shred your fruits
reasonably with a silver fork and pu.
into wide mouthed, self-sealing jars. To
each jar allow four tablespoons of white
sugar sprinkled over the fruit as each
layer goes In. When the jar Is full pour
in white preserving brandy slowly until
every crevice is filed and there is not
room for another drop. Screw down the
tops and set the jars in a dark, cool
place. 1t will not ripcn under two
months | wish you would let me know
when the odd recipe appeared? Are
you sure 1t was In my Corner? 1t GER

nament Committee For
Next Year

AS a elimination to the mems sim
giles of the Knox county tennis tourna-
ment, Russell Levering defeated his
brother, Carl, in the last set of the
Fall match postponed from Tuesday
on account of darkness, Wednesday
afternoon at Round Hill court, thus
winning the title of champion of Knox
county, the possession for one year of
the trophy cup and an So tennis rae
quet
The match was played before a
small crowd of people, owing to coun-
ter-attractions, but this only served
to intensity the interest of those in at
tendance.
The referee, in jocose fashion, re-
marked before the match started that
the whole thing was ''frame-up" and
the equal abilities of the two players
made his statement seem almost true.
Carl won and then Russell won and
then Carl won again, etc. Russell, at
the end of the eighth game, began
playing up closer to the net and took
the next two games and the set, by
well placed back-line drives, GA. Thus
does the cup remain in Mt. Vernon
After the match was over, those in
attendance met and reelected the
same tournament committee for next
year. consisting of Messrs. R. H. Kin
.ney, Henry Curtis, Russell Levering,
John Gotshall, Donald Harper and AL
len Sapp.
A treasurer's report of this years
tournament was presented by Mr.
Kinney, showing balance of 81 after
all debts are paid. Last year, a small
er net sum was realized, attesting
to the increasing popularity of the
tournaments. 1t is hoped that next
year will see many new players in the
field and consequently larger entry
list.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
owners of the three tennis courts on
which the matches have been played,
viz, the Round Hill court, the Maple
hurst court and the Y. M. G. A. courts.
Thus passeth the third annual
Knox county tennis tournament into
history.
