Grape Butter-For grape butter
wash. stem and stew seven pounds of
grapes and press them through a sieve.
Add three and a half pounds-seven
cupfuls-of granulated sugar. NIX one
and a half tablespoonfuls of small bits
of stick cinnamon, the same amount
OF whole allspice and tablespoonful
Of cloves. Tie the spice in two small
cheesecloth bags. Add to the sugar
and grapes and stew over a quick fire
for % minutes after it begins to boil.
Grape Juice-Grape juice. which re-
ta.ns so much of the flavor Of the
grape. and can be made into so many
delicious beverages and desserts fer
winter. is well made by the following
recipe: Heat very ripe grapes in
crock in the even or in double boil
er or fireless cooker. When the skins
are tender drain in a jelly bag. Heat
the resulting juice, add sugar, bring to
tic boiling point and pour into ster-
ilized Jars or bottles. II you use bot
tiles. sterilize the corks, and after
they are in the bottles cover with seal
IL wax. Use either half as much or
a quarter as much sugar as grape
Juice. The amount added must de-
pend on your taste. but remember
that it is an easy matter to add more
sugar to the grape juice. but it is i'm
possible TO take any from 1t later on.
If you desire n clear grape juice let the
bag drip without squeezing. A more
economical method is TO squeeze the
bcE. The resulting grape juice wiz
be n little cloudy. but its flavor will
he quite as good.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

In starching clothes use cornstarch
instead of common starch; doesn't
stick, is cheaper, will go as far as
three packages of other starch.
To make gas burn brightly, little
salt should be sprinkled over the top
of the mantle. This should be done
when the gas is burning.
Try using a small paint brush for
greasing cake, bread or gem pans. 1t
is a great help and can be easily
cleaned in warm soap suds.
Before washing fine lace organdie
or muslin collars and cuffs basic
them on TO a piece of heavier muslin.
This will prevent their tearing or
stretching in the process of launder-
ing.

THE FIELD FORTUNE

EuiLOF LAY 6OOk-ln your issue Oh
Nov. IL, under the caption of THE
Field Family" you call attention
to the immense tribute being ex-
acted from Chicago's two million in
habitants by the representative of
the two grandsons of the late Mar
shall Field, and you end the article
by asking, But what's the answer"
In my judgment the greatest dan
ger to the perpetuity of our republ-
can form of government lies in the
building up of these immense for
tunes, coupled with the power given
to the individual to manage and con-
troll that fortune after death.
Unless the laws that now not only
permit but encourage the exploita-
ton of the many by the few are re-
pealed, and that speedily, this nation
will become a nation of wage earn
ing slaves, governed and controlled
absolutely by few multi-million-
aires. We are fast approaching that
condition. All lines of industry, mer-
chandising, railroad and steamboat
lines, banks, factories, mines and
public utilities are owned and con-
troled by a comparatively small
group of individuals The farm is
yet free, but sooner or later the sur
plus wealth from these great for
tunes will be invested there; monop-
oily of land will follow and our en-
slavement became complete.
Until the individual is deprived of
the power of controlling property af-
ter death, in other words, until all
statutes giving and granting the pow
er of passing property by will, are
forever repealed, and the amount
that can pass by descent is limited,
just so long will trusts and monopo-
lies thrive and fortunes like Marshall
Fields be created. Had Marshall
Field known that Immediately upon
his death all the property of which
