No other branch Of culipary art re-
quires a more exact and familiar knowl-
edge Of certain facts than jelly making.
First one must know something OF the
component parts Of fruits that can be
used for this cookery. Dividing them
into two general classes, We have those
rich in pectose. and those containing q
small amount Of pectose but a consider
able quantity of acid. the latter group
being the largest. In the first group
We have among our best known fruits
the crab apple. lady blush. pippin,
ounces, and black currant. In the Sec
ond group we have strawberries. rasp-
berries. currants. biackberries. and
grapes. These fruits contain the neces-
sary amount Of pectose. but also fruit

women are doing. Philadelphia is sound
ing the call. and echoes are heard In
other cities, faint, to be sure. but none

Since women are counted past mas

and since the house cleaning song has
been merrily heard in the land for many
long years, 1t seems rather natural that
they should open their doors and carry
the broom crusade out on the streets.

a half-swept street is a clean street! And

SPECIAL SOCIAL SUNDAYS.

A suggested calendar of social Sun
| DAYS has just been completed by a spe-
| ciaI conference committee appointed to
study this subject. In the calendar
sixteen Sundays of a national character
are indicated, of which six are for the
furtherance of social propaganda The
full report is made public from the Of
flee of the National Association Tor the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis.
The committee which has studied the
subject consisted of Philip p. Jacobs,
assistant secretary of the National As
social ton for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis; Orlando T. Lewis, sec
rotary of the Prison Association of New
York and Rev. William T. Demarest,
secretary of the Home Missions coun-
ell. The committee has canvussPd all
of the various associations that have
had or are interested in special sun
days for the observance of their re-
spective movements throughout the
churches. AS a result of the work Of
the committee, the following calendar
has been suggested for 1914, including
a number of stated church and ma
tionaI holidays: January 4, New Years
Sunday: Jan. %, Child Labor Sunday;
Feb. s, Lincoln's Sunday; February %,
Washington's Sunday; April u, Easter
Sunday: April 10, Sabbath Observance
Day; May 10, Mothers Sunday; May H.
Peace Sunday: May "a or 81, Memorial
Sunday: June IA. Childrens Sunday;
June IS, Independence Day Sunday;
Sept. 6. Labor Sunday; Oct. %. Prison
Sunday; November %, Thanksgiving
Sunday; Nov 20 to Dec. 8. Tuberculosis
Day; Dec. 20, Christmas Sunday.
Commenting on the situation, the
committee says: Zone of the results
of this investigation was the revelation
that the number of special social Sun
days now being observed on national
scale is much smaller than has been
generally supposed Only six special
Sundays not specifically designated by
the calendar are at present observed on
any considerable scale throughout the
country. These are Child Labor Sun
day. Mothers Day, Peace Sunday, La
Dor, Prison Sunday and tuberculosis
Day. The other special Sundays in the
calendar given above are all fixed by
certain national or religious holidays,
such as Washington's Birthday, Mem
orial Day or Christmas
The report of the committee will be
submitted to the Federal Council of
Churches, representing most of the
Protestant denominations, to the Ro-
man Catholic church authorities, to the
Jewish church authorities and to all
other church organiza tions which can
be interested in this movement. The
aim of the report is to secure the CO.
operation of all of the churches of the
country in movements for social bet

HOPE FOR BEEF EATERS.

Some recent statistics afford evil
dence that the high prices prevailing
in the markets of the world for cattle
ana beef are beginning to have their
natural effect upon the supply OF both
There is reason to expect further
changes in this direction, in many
countries.
In Cuba, for instance, the number
of cattle increased about 81 per cent
from 1911 to 1912. That island has
nearly 100000 head of cattle and
room for many more. Such gain in
the Cuban herds points to encouraging
possibilities in other parts of the West
Indies and still more in Mexico, if
peace and tolerable government can
be restored in that country.
In Canada, in the year from the end
of June, 1912, to the corresponding
date last summer, there was gain
of over 10000 head of cattle, other
than mich cows That increase is
not large, but it is encouraging and it
points to greater changes in the same
direction.
Similar evidence of the effect of the
high prices paid for beef comes from
the British Isles, where the conditions
are very different from those existing
in Cuba or in Canada. There the
number of horses, mules, asses, sheep,
swine and goats decreased slightly in
the twelve months ending last June,
but there was a gain of $4,000, in
round figures, in cattle.
All of these facts look hopeful for
beef eaters. They indicate that the
price of cattle has risen to level
which invites and insures a material
increase in the supply. The natural
cure has been slow in it's application
to this case, but ii is doing its work.
