FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLY.
May BE Sterilized and Bottled Without
Sugar and Made Into Jelly at
Housewives Convenience.

U. S. Department of Agriculture:
Fruit juices for use later in jelly max
ing can be sterilized and bottled with
out sugar and made into jellies at the
housewives convenience. This enables
her to do with fewer jelly glasses and
to distribute her purchases of sugar
for jelly making through the year.
Moreover. with the bottled juice she can
make a greater variety of jellies, as
juices which will not jell can be put up
when the fruit is ripe and combined lat
ripening at different seasons can be
combined. For example. the juice of
strawberries, cherries or pineapple can
be kept without sugar and later when
apples are plentiful can be made into

ure, flavor and color.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making proceed exactly as if Jelly
were TO be made at the time. Cook the
fruits until they are soft and strain out
the juice through a flannel bag. Heat
and pour while hot into bottles previ-
ously scalded. Fill the bottles full,
leaving no air space between the juice
and cork or seal. Place the filled sealed
bottles on their sides in water near the
boiling point, and keep them in the bath
for about thirty minutes. Make sure
that the corked or sealed end is under
hot water. As soon as the bottles are
cool cover the cork with paraffln seal
Thorough sterilization and sealing are
absolutely essential to success.
To make jelly from the sterilized
juice, test its jelly quality, add the prop
er amount of sugar. and proceed as in
making jelly from freshly expressed

The two men, advancing across No Mans land in the semi-darmess, had stumbled into an old shell hole and found themselves inextrica6ly in the clutches of the thick mud at the bottom. When they were found, they had been there for 30 hours, and had been drawn waist deep into the clay.
