G RAP PES.

Grape jelly is the king of jellies, says today's bulletin of the National Emergency Food Garden Commis- sion, with which this nwspaper is cooperating in a nationwide food conservation movement.
 An acid grape is best for jelly. The sweet, ripe grapes contain too much sugar. Half-ripe fruit, or equal DOT tons Of nearly ripe and green grapes. will also be found satisfa ctory. Wild grapes make deilcious jelly.
 Pick grapes from stems. put into preserving kettle, crush with wooden potato masher or wooden spoon, heat n,ering. Cook until fruit is broken into pieces. Strain through jelly bag. To each cup of juice add a cup of sugar and boil until it thickens on the edge of a spoon dipped into it and cooled. Pour into hot jelly paraffin.
 Grape Jelly in layers-Make some Niagara and Delaware jelly. also a small quantity of Concord jelly. In place a layer of Delaware jelly and let it harden tken cover with a layer of Niagara tslly. When this has con- eealed finish with the deep-tinted usual. When serving as a desert top with a spoonful of whipped cream and decorate with a cherry.
 Grape Jam-Stem, weigh and wash grapes. Measure out one pound of sugar for each pound of grapes. Put grapes in preserving kettle with enough water to keep from sticking On bottom. Ccok gently one-half to three quarters of an hour, press colander fine enough to keep seeds. from passing through. Add sugar, return to kettle, stir we'll and cook slowly until it drops from the spoon in a jelly-li.-e consistency. Skim if needed and when as thick as desired turn into glasses.
 Ripe Grape Marmalade Stem grapes; to each half pint allow cup of sugar. Pulp the grapes and keep skins. Extract seeds by boiling pulp until tender. rubbing through fine col ander. Put pulp juice and skins over fire in preserving kettle and add sugar. Boil until very thick, pour into jars and seal.

EcoNoMIzE ON SUGAR.

It wasn't many days ago that the
 people were informed of the plea which
 had come from France asking for
 100000 tons of sugar in order to
 carry that country through until the
 next sugar crop becomes available.
 Even in the past France has been on a very small sugar ration and it faced an absolute exhaustion of it's supply of that commodity unless it received the desired relief Consequently this country has determined to aid and France will be furnished sufficient to carry it through.
 It is in connection with this eXten- sion of help to France that this coun- try. especially throughout the east, is experiencing a shortage of sugar. and it was in anticipation of such a result that the food administrator, almost simultaneously with the announce ment regarding the appeal from France. asked for the practice of economy in the use of sugar. realiZ- ing that by such cutting down of the quantities of sugar and candy used it would be possible to meet Frances de- mands without causing any serious shortage here.
 There has unquestionably been some but it is safe to say that it has not been what it should be. and in fact the time since the appeal was made has not been sufficient to make any great saving. but with the dealers be- ing unable to get all the sugar they need and therefore being obliged to place restrictions upon the amount sold to a customer, even though the price is not affected. new empha asiss is given to the need of practicing econ omy for the next month or. so until the new cane and beet sugar comes into the market. This is way in which everyone not only can but should heIp

LOANS OR TAXATION

There is food for Serious thought in ' the statement which has been made in
 urging the subscriptions to the Lib
 erty loan that it is preferable to loan
 your money to the government at u good rate of interest and know that there is substantial security back of
 it than it is to refrain from such ac-
 tion and therefore invite the imposi-
 tion of larger taxes. Taxes are bet
 ter than tribute, but an investment
 is better than taxes
 This country has gone into the war
 and it has gone in with the purpose
 of securing a victorious outcome which
 means respect for it's rights and the principles for which it is fighting h . order to wage a successful war it must 2 have funds. Those funds must be se- scured and they are .loeing raised by taxation and by loans. In other words sthe people are being given a chance to get a return of interest and prin- scipal for part of what they are sup spOsed to Day to carry on the conflict Elf the amount which it is desired to secure by loans is not obtained the scqufvalent can be. raised by the inn sposition of larger taxes, which means sthat when the money is paid over .there, will be none of it which they scan expect to come back ip the fu- lture.
 There is therefore a responsibility .which rests upon the people. Now is the time for them to make a choice of what they prefer to do. There can be no question <but what the bonds fare much more desirable than taxes and such being the case there should Joe 6 determination upon the part of teach and every one to do his bit and do it in a way which will not only .help the country but himself at the |Sanne time

sWEDEN's OFFICIAL MAIL.

Just what the outcome of the hold ing up of the diplomatic mail which was being brought to this country by Sweden's special representative will he cannot be forecasted. What ought to be done is a different matter.
 The pouches and boxes were re- moved from the ship at Halifax and are now in the British legation at Washington with unbroken seals Great Britain acted when it was shown that Sweden had been handling German messages. and it's desire now is to ascertain whether there are any such messages contained in the di- p1cmatic pouches in question, and it has offered to turn them over pro vided it is permitted to witness the opening of them.
 Sweden of course resents the action that has been taken and the Swedish minister in refusing to comply with the demand has appealed to this coun- to get the boxes inasmuch as there are reports contained therein regarding economic conditions in Sweden that this country has asked for.
 There appears to be no immediate prospects that Great Britain will in terfere in any way with the mail any more than to withhold it until it's re- quest is compiled with. Sweden can if it will quickly straighten out the matter and it would seem to be for it's interests to do so for thereby it could prove that even though it's for eign service had erred in the past. the practice has been stopped and stop ped for good. On the other hand just as long as It refuses it keeps alive the suspicion that it has not reformed and that it is still working for Ger many's interests. and that is d sus- picion that it ought to clear up if it is unwarranted

GREECE AND BULGARIA.

: From reliable source comes the in sforma tion that Greece will soon enter sthe conflict by declaring war upon Bulgaria. That of course has been anticipated. It is in keeping with the sstand which that country has taken ta1ong with the entente. and at the same time it offers g. plausible ex- apIanation of the recent visit of Kaiser Wilhelm and Secretary von Kuehl- snann to Sofia.
 | It is certain that the kaiser has been anticipating this move. He at &he same time is conscious of the feel $ng of the people of Bulgaria that
 peace ought to be declared and that they should be allowed to keep the territory which they now possess. There was need therefore of a little

Christine. By Alice Cholmondeley.
 Cloth, 25o pages. Published by
 The Macmjlland Company, New
 York. Price $1.25.
 Christine Is a notable addition to the fiction which has dealt with the great European war. In fact, this story of a young English girl-a violin student who goes to Germany to study and who is there lt the outbreak of hos tIlities. may be said to interpret the German state of mind much as Mir. Brittling Sees It Through interprets tie English. It is a gripping and unfor- gettable narrative; human, fascinat- ingly interesting. and significant in the new light ii throws Cpon German character and thought.
 As one writer has said: When one has laid aside the book one knows why England is determined to win this war CT die in the strife. Each nation of the entente should read Christine-I am thankful to have known Christine, and I owe one sad mother a debt of gratitude for giving me a chance to realize the beauty and nobility of the soul of her child"

In our effort to assist our American cousins to find a suitable nickname for their soldiers we should be careful not to wound susceptibilities or to re- open old sores. Yankee" will never do for the man from the southern states. Let us offer a word worthy of them and worthy their acceptance. The obvious name-to include north erner. southerner, and the man from ''out west" is-"Samsons!"
 But really no exception should be taken to the word Yankee, which is an honorable title. When the New England colonies were first settled, the inhabitants were obliged to fight t,'eir way against many nations of Indians They found but little difficulty in sub- duing them all except one tribe, who were known by the name of Yankoos which signifies invincible. After the waste of much blood and treasure the Yankoos were at last subdued bv the New Englandmen. The remains of this nation (agreeabie to the Indian GUS tom) transferred their name to their conquerors. For a while they were called Yankees: but from corruption, common to names in all languages, they got the name of Yankee.
