1t is perfectly obvious that if you add
gelatine or any other stickener, such as
starch or deXtrose, the resulting mixture
will not be pure currant jelly. II you
propose to label and sell the same, it
should be labeled "thickened with gela-
tine" etc, in plain type. We agree with
you that gelatine is not an injurious
substance, understanding, Of course, that
gelatine of good quality be employed.
Grape Fruit VS.. Oranges
What food value has the grape fruit
Is it better than the orange!
Mrs II. b. c.
Strictly speaking, neither of the fruits
mentioned have a high nutritiye value.
They are nevertheless extremely impor-
tant adjuncts to the dietary. They con-
sist mostly of water (about IS per cent.
with various sugars, organic acids. and
essential oils and small percentage of
proteids. They exert an exceedingly fla
vorable influence on the digestion and
should be eaten even more freely than
they are.
We could not say whether the orange
or the grape fruit is superior. Both are
exceedingly valuable fruits. The mat
ter of flavor which enters into considera-
tion is in large part a personal one.

What Club Women Can Do In

how the town wiped out all forms

have continued to exist and make
money is because they have kept
public opinion from uniting against
them. They have kept your atten-
ton away from the vital facts by
stirring up false issues on which
honest people can honestly differ.
A sound basis for definite, posi-
tive public opinion is offered In the
Westfield Book of Pure Foods, pub
lished by the Pure Food Town Of
Westfeld. 1t lays before you and
your neighbors list of foods which
are pure and Of high quality. 1t
drops all argument as to what is
bad and tells you the names of
thousands Of food products that are
pure and clean and good to eat.

T AVIS may come and laws may
IL go, but the only right way to
settle the pure food problem
in this or any other town is through
public opinion, just as the only way
TO manage your own home is
through your own good Judgment.
The power OF your opinion backed
up by that of your neighbor is the
most forceful influence OF all. If you
and your fellow citizens want the
same thing at the same time and
want 1t hard enough, you will get
it, but public opinion cannot ac-
