 CORNER FOR COOKS
Grape Jelly.

Grapes which are not quite ripe make the most desirable jelly. Ripe grapes may be used, however, but they produce a darker jelly. Pick the fruit from the stems, wash it well and put over the fire to cook without adding water. Mash frequently dur ing the process and when soft, pour into jelly bag and allow to drip un- til all the juice has been extracted from the pulp. Measure, allowing q pint of sugar to each pint of juice. Boil the juice hard for ten minutes, then add the sugar and cook till the liuuid will congeal when tested on a cold saucer. Ten minutes should suf- fee for this boiling. Pour into ster- ilized tumblers and seal when cold.

hosts unto me. saying.
Speak unto all the people of the land,
and TO the priests. saying. When We
tasted and mourned in the fifth and
seventh month, even those 20 years. did
we at all fast unto me, even to me?
And when we did eat, and when We
did drink, did not We eat for yourselves,
and drink for yourselves?
Should We not hear the words which
the Lord hath cried by the former
prophets, when Jerusalem was inhab-
tied and in prosperity, and the cities
thereof round about her, when men
inhabited the south and the plain?
And the word of the Lord came unto
Zachariah, saying,
Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts,
saying, Execute true judgment, and
shew mercy and compositions every
man to his brother:
And Cypress not the widow, nor the
fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor;
and let none of you imagine evil
against his brother In your heart.
But they refused to hearken. and
pulled away the shoulder, and stopped
their ears, that they should not hear.
