Jelly NJ akinC.

OF all kinds of preservation used
for fruit, there is none which is more
often a failure than jelly making. This
is partly due to lack of knowledge as
to what a good jelly should be-
We are greatly indebted to DR.. n
E. Goldthwait of the university OF
Illinois for her investigation along this
line. and it is the purpose of this ar
ticle to give a brief resume of hel
work.
Jelly making depends largely on two
factors: namely pectin gum like sub
stance found in some fruits before
they are fully ripe. and the acid con,
tent. Pectin is best extracted from
fruits three different times, draining
off the juice each time. Any house
wife may test her fruit Juice for
pectin. before adding the sugar. Add
to two tablespoonfuls of the hot juice
two tablespoons of alcohol and allow
TO cool. when the pectin will have fal-
len to the bottom. (Denatured alco-
hol may be used for this test, but
product must be discardedJ One can
not make good jelly without the pres
ence of considerable amount of pee
tin and large amount of pectin has
tens jelly making.
Sugar is added in proportion to
amount of pectin instead of the old
rule of cup of sugar to cup
of juice. That rule would hold good
for currant jelly as currants contain
not only a large amount of pectin but
acid as well. When too much sugar
is used. a syrup is the result; while
the use of too little results in tough
dark mixture.
Fruits containing little acid, may
be combined with sour apples or rhu'
barb with good results.
1t has been found that rapid boil
ing gives the best results for when the
juice is allowed to simmer, the acid
destroys the pectin. The time of add
ing sugar is important as too short
cooking favors crystals and too long
reduces the sweetening power.
The jelly test she favors. is where
the boiling mass "jells,' sheets off.
or breaks off the spoon. This is a
much quicker test than the old one of
allowing portion to cool. In recent
letter 10 the writer, she says she does
not consider the use of the thermome-
ter practical for the housewife. as jelly
making depends on so many things.
The fruit best adapted to jelly max.
ing are currants, sour apples, crabs.
blackberries and green
grapes. Ounce. pear. peach and sweet
apples. have pectin but are lacking in
acid. so that jelly may not be made
from them alone.
Jelly making is an art ard only care
and Judgment, developed by expert
ence can bring ideal results.
Jelly should be beautifully colored,
ard palatable. When re-
moved from the glass. II should CULVER
but still hold its shape. When cut with
a spoon IL should be tender and yet so
firm that clean surface is left and
the angles made by cutting are re-
tanned.

F. w. Chase-Putting man of fifty
into the discard for no other reason
than that he has arrived at that age
is one OF the tragic features of present
day madness. 1t is extravaganza of
the worst kind, for it throws away the
best fruits of experience and puts
stability below effervesence. Time
was when youth was a crime, and that
was wrong. Now ripeness is crime,
in the same sense, which is even more
wrong. Youth has its value and SO
has age, but each is to be considered
in its proper relations and the indi-
vidual should be rated according to
his capability, not according to his age

J. w. Murphy-It is encouraging TO
note that public men are waking up
to the danger lurking behind the great
mass of legislation passing through the
congress and the state assemblies.
The American people are sitting idly
by. paying no attention to the matter.
while their precious liberties are be-
ing legislated away. The truth OF
this trend can not be too strongly en-
phasized. The case against the peo-
pie is even worse than this-for they
are boldly demanding the bulk of this
legislation as fancied cure for fan
cied evils. Our persanl liberty is ham,
pered in this country in thousand
needless and vexatious ways, while
the crusaders continue to multiply the
laws that are intended to regulate in
dividual conduct down to the most in
consequential acts. Where will It end ?

J. B. Underwood-The west and the
east are steadily growing farther apart
splitting on the rock of conservation
as practiced. No sane man in east
or west opposes wise conservation.
The pratice of allowing millions of
feet of timber to lie rotting in the for
ests, while the price of lumber steadi-
ly advances, the practice of extend
ing the forest reserve over agricul-
tural and mineral land where there is
no timber, forcing the people of Alaska
to import their coal at great expense
from British Columbia while politi-
clans idly theorize about conservation
these are the things to which the
west objects.

/. Z. Bill-The foolish man is one
who squanders his time. Most people
have all the time they need to do
what they want to do. but few people
have the time they need to do what
they ought TO do. A man squanders
his time If he fails to use it for some
good purpose He may have a good
time without wasting time If recrea-
ton is really recreation There is
many a man who would have a better
disposition If he would take an after
noon off to see the ball game or have
a tryout on the golf links. On the
other hand a man may toll ten straight
hours day after day and wake up
some morning to discover that he is
fool If with all his sriving he has
failed TO enhance the common good of
humanity.

Text of MaderO's Request.

President Madero's message tC
President Taft asking the American
government not to intervene was as
follows:
81 have been informed that the
government over which your excel
lency presides has ordered to set out
for the ports of Mexico war vessels
with troops to disembark and come
to this capital to give guarantees OF
safety to Americans.
Undoubtedly the information you
have and which led you to take this
action is inexact and exaggerated, for
the lives of Americans in this capital
are at present in no danger if they
will abandon the zone of fire and con-
centrate in certain points of the city
or it's suburbs where tranquility is
absolute and where the government
can give all classes guarantees.

to do that, following the precedent es-
tablished by your own orders previT

Unless RAILROADS WILL ARBITRATE UNDER
FEDERAL LAW STRIKE COMES AT MIDNIGHT

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-It is expect
ed that the "a railroads who are in
volved in the proposed strike of $4,000
firemen, will submit a new PROPOSE
ton this afternoon, as the result of
conference between the railroad
heads and Judge Knapp of the COM
merce court and Acting Labor Com
missioner Hanger, who are acting as
board of mediation in the dispute.
The strike is generally expected to
occur tonight despite this action, as
the firemen are not expected to re-
coed from their original demands.
I'VE are waiting for Judge Knapp
and Mr. Hanger to announce that
they are unable under the federal
laws to secure arbitration" President
w. S. Carter of the Brotherhood of
Firemen and Enginemen

ENVER BEY, MILITARY DICTATOR
ASSASSINATED; RUSSIA THREA ATENING

| A dispatch to the Daily News from
Constantinople declares that the
grand vizier takes a respondent view
of the situation. According to the cor
respondent he is anxious for peace,
but the Young Turk leaders continue
jingoistic.
Hakki Pasha, former grand vizier,
has arrived in London. Secrecy is
observed as to his mission, but there
seems little reason to doubt that Tur-
keys military position is utterly hope
less and that when the expected de-
cisive battle is fought for the posses
sion of Kurudagh, in the Bulair dis
trict "a fresh attempt will be made to
negotiate for peace.
Uncensored special dispatches
reaching London from Constantine
pie confirm the utter failure of Enver
Bey, the Turkish chief of staff, to land
troops on the coast of the sea of Mar
mora. His forces, the dispatches say,
are now huddled at Gallipoli, where
they are unable to obtain supplies.

Mr.. Carter to act, as we will have
done all that was possible"
In formal statement Mr. Carter
discussed the Erdman act under the
terms of which the railroad managers
have refused to arbitrate, and con-
tradicted various declarations cf the
railroads regarding the award of the
arbitration board of seven which set
tied the differences of the engineers
with the same lines last summer
The main objection of President
Carter to the arbitration in the en-
gineers' case he declared, is that non
practical men on the board controlled
the arbitration. These men, he said,
went to the records of the interstate
commerce commission, which he af-
firmed Were notoriously incorrect
and based their findings on these rec
ords.
The railroads, according to Mr.
Carters statement, are maintaining
at great expense in Washington a bu-
reau which gathers statistics for use
in arbitration proceedings. These
statistics, he declared, favor the rail-
roads.

The note is brief and pointed, and

aIn view of the special friendship
in the relations which exist between
our two countries, 1 cannot too
strongly impress upon your excel
lency the vital Importance of the early
establishment of real peace and order
throughout Mexico, a condition which
this government has long hoped to
see, because American citizens and
American property must be protected
and respected.
''In reciprOcating the anxiety
shown by your excellency l feel it my
duty to add sincerely and without re-
serve that for the last two years, and
eliminating in this present and most
dangerous situation, the events in
Mexico have created in this country
an extreme pessimisn, and a cOnyic-
tion that your paramount duty is to
secure prompt and immediate relief
from the situation.

informed as to the policy of the Uni

been uniform for two years, as well
as to the naval movements and other

accept all responsibility according tc
the obligations of international law
Consequently 1 ask your excellen-
cy to order your men of war not to
disembark troops in Mexico, as this
act will cause a confagration and
terrible consequences far more extent
than the ones we have to contend
with at present.

government is taking measures nee
essary in order that the rebels in

possible to lives and property in the

thing will be peacefully arranged in
a very short time.
"It is true that my country at this
moment is passing through a terrible

lean troops would only increase the
dangers of the situation and be a
very lamentable error 1t would do
great harm to a nation which has
been loyal friend to the United

American nation.
