 Blackberry Wine and Brandy
 T want to make some blackberry wine and brandy and do not know how to do 1t. Should I boil the berries to get the juice or only crush them? And may elder berries be used in the same way? Do yon know how our grandmothers kept the juice of milkweed for cosmetics? With so much growing about l want to know in hurry. MRS. w. S."
 For blackberry wine wash the berries ana crush with a wooden pestle. Squeeze through mosquito netting and to each quart of juice allow a scant half pound or granulated sugar and half a cup of water. Stir well and pour into a crock: tie cheesecloth over the top and set away to ferment for month. When it ceases to bubble, strain and bottle, ''racking'' 1t carefully from the flies. Blackberry brandy is made in the same way but after the juice is strained and sweetened add cup of the best French brandy to each gallon of the juice. Put into a demi- john. Cork and let it stand for month, shaking hard every day. Leave it then for another month without shaking. Rack orr at the end of the time, strain and bottle. Lay the bottles upon their sides in sand turning every month.

Dlscouragement

No matter what our task, some
days will find us signing, and
wearily we ask. What is the use
of trying?" The heart is often
sore, from struggle and endeavor
from doing one thing DER, for
ever and forever. We feel that
what we do is really not worth
doing, and that the goal in view
is not worth the pursuing. We
feel there is no chance to better
our condition, as sadly we ad-
vance to old age and demnition.
We dwell with Fear and Doubt,
and all ambitions perish; the bot
toms fallen out of everything we
cherish. Upon such doleful days,
which come to clerk or writer,
how quickly words of praise will
make the whole world brighter!
There ambles to my side pill
grim bent and hoary, who muir
murs, "By St. Bride! 1 liked your
latest storyr' This little cheerful
word, though it may be deluding,
makes worry seem absurd, and
ends my grief and brooding. And
/, refreshed and strong, go forth,
no longer fearful, to pass that
word along, and make some toiler
cheerful.

WAR LENGTHENs BREAD LINE.
Local Charities Bodies Report Many
Applications for Aid.

Applications for aid from persons
who have been thrown out of employ
ment owing to the war in Europe are
being received daily at the various
charities organizations of Washington
The cessation of shipping and similar
activities, due to the hostilities
abroad. have been a cause for many
men being thrown into "the bread
line"
The men who arrive in Washington
are nearly all young men and practical
ly all are unmarried. 1t is believed
that the older men and the married
ones are unable to go from city to city
in search of work, as the younger ones
are. Although the number has increas-
ed since the early weeks of the war it
has not increased as much as it was
first believed it would.
