PURE GRAPE JUICE FOR
USE in OUR OWN HOMES

washington. May 4.-Anybody who
is able to can vegetables can make
grape juice, says new publication of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Farmers Bulletin 644.
The principle is the same in both
cases-the sterilization Of the product
before 1t is stored away. In case ,s
grape juice this sterilization prevents
the fermentation which in making
wine turns the grape sugar into alco-
hol.
Fermentation is caused by various
fungi, yeasts, and bacteria, which adj
here to the skins and stems Of the
grapes. If these are killed, no fer
mentation is possible. They can be
killed in two ways, but one, the adj
dition Of antiseptics, is not possible
in the case of any article intended for
human consumption. because the an
tiseptics themselves are injurious.
The other method, killing them By
heat. is the one used in the pasteuri.
xation Of milk, and is equally simple
and practicable with grape Juice,
Practical tests indicate that craps
Juice Is satisfactorily pasteurized
without appreciable change Of flavor
when It IL heated to a temperature
varying from 1s5 degrees to It's de-
krees F. II the temperature is al
lowed 70 reach zoo degrees F., the
flavor Of the Juice is changed for the
worse.
For homo use there are Q large
number Of varieties Of grapes which
win make Q pleasant and healthful
drink. No matter what tho kind Of
grape. however. only clean. sound

than 1,500.000,00o board feet OF
stumpage having been sold to LUMBER
operators last year.
The forests contain most OF the
picturesque wilderness in the coun-
try and their recreational resources
are practically unlimited. More than
1000 cottages have been built on the
forests by summer residents undef
the permit system, which has oeea
supplemented by a law providing that
tracts of five acres or less may De
leased for periods not to exceed thirty
years. This law, under which leas-
ing regulations have just been pro-
mulgated by the secretary of agricul-
ture, is expected to stimulate recre-
ational development of the forests
Already a large number Of applica-
lions to lease national forest land for
summer residence sites has been re-
ceived, and even communities are be-
ginning to take advantage Of the for
ests situated near them by obtaining
tracts for use as picnic, camping, and
Fairgrounds.

Atlanta, Ga, May 10.-Leo NJ. Frank
was today re-sentenced to be hanged
and the date fixed as Tuesday, June
22, for the murder of Mary Phagan.
Makes Statement
Leo NJ. Frank when brought before
Judge Hill to be resentenced, made
again stand before you. Again
] can but reiterate that 1 am inno-
cent Of the murder of Mary Phagan
! have absolutely no guilty knowledge
OF that tragic occurrence.
Il am innocent Of this charge. and
] assert that the record of the evil
dence conclusively proves this. No
appellate tribunal has ever passed up
on this evidence The only judge who
has ever heard it stated that he had
the most serious doubt as to my guilt.
MY execution will not avenge
Mary Phagans death. A life will
have been taken for life, but the
real culprit will not have paid the
penalty. 1 will suffer for another's
crime.
My trust is in God, who knows
that my protestations Of Innocence
are the truth. At some future date,
the whole mortal world will realize
1t. 1t is the knowledge that God
knows it now and that the world will
know it some day that inspires me

dergarten instruction.
In the school for working women in
Rotterdam last year, 100 girls were
turned away on account of lack of &C
commodations for them. This year the
number has been less. since the general
condition of hard times has forced many
families to send their girls to work
earlier than usual; also the absence OF
many men modified to guard the neu-
trality of Holland has greatly increased
the demand for women workers.
The annual report of the Rotterdam
school for working women which has just
been issued to cover the year 1914 shows
that the tuition fees received in this
school amounted in that year to $15.1O.
The expenses, however, were $40.
The deficit was met by private gifts.
Many Of the girls are forced to leave
these schools, before finishing the full
three years course, to earn their own
living or to assist in the support OF their
families. But even these are snapped up
at once by watchful Dutch housewives.
anxious to secure good servants. The
girls themselves are only too glad to be
employed in domestic service in Holland,
for the wages of women workers in the
factories are notably low.
Nor are these the only practical meas
ures taken by the women of Holland for
their less fortunate sisters. The war has
brought, even to this neutral land, some
of it's CHASTITY train Of medieval horrors.
There are Red Cross buildings in many
streets of the larger cities. and one Of the
royal palaces in The Hague has been
turned over to this work. In this coun-
try there are not, of course, any wounded
to care for. But there are the sick and
the needy, and they are cared for.

marked increase in the field Of it's chart

ton devoted to the care of the unfortu-
nate children of unmarried mothers. The
babies of such of the poorer women as
die in childbirth, whose fathers are pre-
vented by the character Of their work
from giving or providing proper care fol
the very young children, are also taken
in. The infants received in this home
are kept from two to three years. upon
slight payment by the mothers, whose
plight the sudden calling Of the men tc

glass or enameled vessel and allowea

The strained Juice is then put into
clean bottles and sterilized once more

convenient home device for this
purpose. After sterilization the bot

with new corks, the corks having
been previously soaked for about 30
minutes In hot water.
For red Juice. the crushed grapes
are first heated to the same tempefa-

through a clean cloth or drip bag

process is the same as for light col
