Fruit for Jelly Makino.-The juice
from certain fruits, such as grape,
apple, crabapple, orange. kumquat md
currant, Is better suited for making
natural fruit Jelly than juices from
other fruits. The juices from these
fruits contain the properties necessary
for Jelly making. The best fruits for
Jelly making contain pectin and acid.
Pectin, the fundamental jelly-making
substance. does not exist In some fruits
in sufficient amount to make jelly with
out the addition of pectln from some
other source. The peach, strawberry
and cherry are examples Of fruits
which contain acid but are lacking in
pectin. Pear, guava and ounce con-
tain pectin but are deficient In acid.
II the missing property be added to
each Of these fruits, jelly with the
color md flavor of the fruit selected
can be made.
Extracting the Juiee.-Wash such
fruit as berries. grapes and currants
in running water and add one cupful
Of water for each pound Of fruit. For
apples, ounces, guavas and such hard
fruits, wash, slice and add three cup
fuls water to each pound Of fruit. The
fruit should be cooked until tender.
a small quantity Of water being added
to help extract the juice. The fruit
Juice will flow more freely when heat
ed than when cold. and the cooking
develops the pectiD. As soon as the
fruit is tender the liquid should be
squeezed through cheesecloth and
then be allowed to drip. without pres
sure through n flannel Jelly bag (illus-
trated). Overlooking Of the fruit is apt
to result In cloudy jelly. After cool
ing the Juice TO room temperature test
It to determine the amount Of pectin
present. This test gives some Idea OF
the proper proportion Of sugar to juice,
Add one tablespoonful 95 per cent
grain alcohol to an equal volume Of
cooled fruit Juice and shake gently,

together the pectin In jellylike mass

given for the Inversion Of the sugar By
the acids Of the fruit and there II less
danger Of capitalization.
Cooking the Jslly.-After the sugar
has dissolved. the cooking should be as
rapid as possible. Finished Jelly can
be obtained more quickly by rapid
cooking. Long cooking will tend to
darken the product and destroy the
pectin, which will cause the finished
Jelly to be less firm.
Since no definite temperature can be
given for the finished Jelly, the most
convenient means of determining when
It is finished is to test 1t with spoon
or paddle. Dip spoon or wooden
paddle In the boiling mass. Remove
and cool by moving 1t back and forth
for few seconds md then allow the
Jelly to drop from 1t. As long as there
Is slrup present 1t will run or drop
from the spoon. When the jellying
point is reached, 1t will break from the
spoon In fakes or sheets. When this
Jelly stnge is reached, remove from the
fire Immediately and skim. Skimming
at this point saves waste.
Filling oIasses.-After skimming the
Jelly, pour at once Into hot sterilized
glasses and set aside to cool.
Cooling and sealIng.-Cool us rapid
ly us possible, avoiding dust which will
give contamination with mold. When
the jelly is cold cover 1t with melted
parafiin. BY running n pointed stick
around the edge of the glass while the
parafiln is still hot, better seal can
be obtained.
storlng.-Jelly should be stored In n
cool. dark. dry place. If jelly is stored
for long period Of time. 1t will de-
terlorate In texture. color and flavor.
Mistakes to Avoid.-Soft Jelly.-Jel-
Hes sometimes are sirupy because more
sugar has been used than the fruit
juices require or because boiling after
the addition Of sugar was not con-
tinued long enough to drive Off exces-
sive water.
Tough Jelly.-Jelly Is tough or
stringy because too small an amount
Of sugar was used for the quantity of
fruit Juice taken or because the boil
Ing was continued after the jellying
point had been reached.
Crystals In Jelly.-Crystals appear
throughout the Jelly because OF an ex-
cess Of sugar. When sugar is boiled
with nm ncid for sufficient length of
time, 1t is changed into form which
does not crystalllze. Crystals are found
In Jelly sometimes because the Juice
Is boiled to too great concentration
before the addition of sugar. or in boil
Ing the sirup spatters on the side Of
the pan, dries, and in pouring the fin
ished product these crystals are car
ried into the glasses Of Jelly. and in
that way the Jelly becomes seeded
with crystals.
Cloudy Jelly.-This may be due to
having cooked the fruit too long be-
fore straining or the juice or to not
having used sufficient care In strain
Ing the juice. Sometimes 1t Is noticed
In apple and crabnpple jelly that al
though II Is clear when first made, the
Jelly becomes cloudy after a time. In
these cases II usually is due to the use
Of partly green fruit. the starch in this
fruit probably causing the cloudy ap-

MRS. ROYLE 80 YEARS OLD.
Her Entire Life Has Been Spent
in Ray and Lafayette
Counties.

Tuesday, April Bird, was the
eightieth birthday of Mrs. Fan.
ME E. Royle, one of Richmond
oldest and best women, and dur.
ing the day she received many
calls from her neighbors anc
friends and a flood of post cards
and other messages bearing
hearty good wishes and con.
gratulations upon her four score
anniversary.
Mrs. Royle is a native of Rich
mond and her birth occurred
April Ord, 1887, She is a
daughter Of the late Judge Jabez
Shotwell, who came to this
county in the year 1885. She is
a sister of the late William and
John w. Shotwell, Of this city,
and she and her brother, DR..
Chas. H. Shotwell, who is now a
resident Of Gainesville, Texas,
are now the only surviving mem
bers of this pioneer family.
Mrs. Royle was married in
1857 to Milton F, Royle, now de-
ceased, and for a long time was
a resident of Lexington, Mr..
Royle having been one of the
pioneer citizens and merchants
OF that town. Two children were
born of this union, Chas. H.
Royle and Mrs. Fannie Bayne,
both of whom live with their
mother on West Main street in
this city.
Mrs. Royle has spent her en-
tire life in Ray and Lafayette
counties and is widely known
and much beloved by her count
less friends, whom the News
joins in expressing the hope that
she may be permitted to have
/
many more happy anniversaries.
The following lines were sent
to Mrs. Royle on her birthday
by her friends, Rev. and Mrs.
F. L. Alexander, of the Rich
mond Baptist church:
Lies Full Bloom.
just 80 today! Then trim thy light.
And get thy jewels all reset;
ms past meridian, but bright,
And lacks an hour of sunset vet.
AZ 80 be strong and true,
Clear off thy rust and shine anew.
IT'S yet high time; thy sword resume.
And fight fresh battles for the truth:
For what is age but hfe's full bloom-
A ripper, more transcendant youth
A wedge of gold is never old:
Streams broader grow, as downward
rolled.
At so is life just begun?
Az 81 begin once more;
Fly swifter as you near the sur.
And brighter shine at eighty-four.
AZ ninety-ive shouldst thou arrive.
STILL wait on God, and work and
thrive.
Keep thy locks wet with morning dew
And freely let thy graces flow;
life well lived is ever new;
And years Amounted, V e grow.
SO work way, be young for ave.
From sunset breaking into day.
