WHERE SEASONS ARE MIXED
Caves Exist in United States in Which
Ice Freezes in Summer and
Thaws in Winter.

There are several cases in the Unit
become confused as to the seasons, ac-
cording to Popular Science Monthly.
During the late spring and sum-
mer ice forms and freezing tempera-
ture prevails, but as winter comes on
the interior of the caves becomes mild
er, the ice gradually melts and kind
of subdued summer sets in under
ground.
One of these peculiar caves is to be
found at Coudersport, Pa, and one at
DEBORAH, Iowa. The superstitious
among the residents of those localities
give the caves a wide berth and look
with suspicion upon any one daring
enough to attempt to investigate them.
Edwin S. Balch of Philadelphia, who
has made a study Of the subterranean
ice mines, as they are called, states
that according to the theory evolved
by Investigators the formation of the
caverns is such that the cold air of
winter does not penetrate and settle in
them until late in the spring at the
time when the water from spring
thaws is seeping through the walls
and roof. This water meeting the cold
air freezes and stays frozen all sum-
mer until, as the fall season ap-
proaches, the warm summer air at last
finds it's way into the cave and melts

JELLIES FROM PECTIN.

Pect1n, the essential jelly-making
fruits rich in it, and this concentrated.
product used with the juices of fruits
deficient in pectin, for the making of
excellent jellies.
Apple Pectin.-One pound apple
pulp Cor skins and cores), juice of
one lemon, four pounds water. Boil
for half to three-quarters hour, press
the juice through a cloth bag, then al
low this juice to drain without pres
sure through a heavy flannel or hair
cloth jelly bag. This juice when cold
should be tested with alcohol to deter
mine the proportion of sugar to add to
a volume of juice. Pectin can be bot
tied, processed for 10 minutes in wa
ter bath at boiling, and kept until
needed for jelly making.
Orange Pectin.-Cut or scrape the
yellow rind from the peel of the or
ange, the white portion remaining be-
ing passed through the food chopper
and weighed. For each pound of this
prepared peel add two pounds of wa
ter and four tablespoonfuls of lemon
juice, mix thoroughly, and allow to
stand Is minutes. Then add two
pounds water, boil ten minutes, let
stand overnight. Next morning boil
ten minutes, allow to cool, press to re-
move juice and then drain juice
through a flannel bag. If not desired
for immediate use, bottle and process
as for apple pectin.
Mint and Orange Cor Apple) Pectln
JeIIy.-One pint concentrated orange
Tor apple) pectin juice, one pound
sugar, two drops oil of peppermint,
two drops green vegetable coloring.
Bring the orange or apple pectin juice
to boiling, add sugar, and boil rapidly
until the jellying point is reached. At
this point two drops Of green vegeta-
BILE coloring matter is added. together
with two drops of oil of peppermint.
Stir thoroughly, and pour while hot
into clean, sterilized jelly glasses.
Strawberry and Orange Cor Apple)
Pectin Jelly-One-half pint concen-
trated orange Cor applet pectin, one
half pound sugar, one-half pint straw
berry juice. Mix orange Cor applet
pectin Juice and the strawberry juice,
bring to a boil and add sugar. Con-
tinue boiling until the jellying point
is reached. Pour Immediately into hot
sterilized jelly glasses and skim. When
cold. pour hot paraffin over the jelly.
Pineapple and Orange Tor Apple)
Pectin JeIIy-Add one pint orange Tor
applet pectin juice to one pint pineap-
nile Juice which has been boiled for
ten minutes, add one pound sugar and
continue boiling until the jellying
point is reached. Pour Immediately
into hot sterilized jelly glasses and
skim. When cold, pour hot parafin
over the jelly.

(PrepareQ by the united states DEPART
ment Of Agriculture)
A good jelly should be bright, of good
color, and clear. When removed from
the glass it should retain the shape of
the mold. Good jelly can be cut with a
distinct cleavage, retaining the angles
where cut. 1t should sparkle and be
tender enough to culver without break
ing.
Fruit for Jelly Making.-The juice
from certain fruits, such as grape,
apple, crabapple, orange, kumquat and
currant, is better suited for making
a 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 pectin 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.
If the missing property be added to
each Of these fruits, a jelly with the
color and flavor Of the fruit selected
can be made.
Extracting the Juice.-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 pectin. AS soon as the
fruit is tender the liquid should be
squeezed through a cheesecloth and
then be allowed to drip, without pres
sure through a flannel jelly bag Gllus-
trated). Overlooking of the fruit is apt
to result in a cloudy jelly. After cool
ing the juice to room temperature test
1t to determine the amount of pectin
present. This test gives some idea of
the proper proportion of sugar to juice.
Add one tablesps onful 95 per cent
grain alcohol to an equal volume of
cooled fruit juice and shake gently.
The effect of the alcohol is to bring
together the pectin in a jellylike mass.
If large quantity of pectin is present
it will appear in one mass or clot when
poured from the glass. This indicates
that equal quantities of sugar and
Juice may be used. IF the pectin does
not slip from the glass in one mass,
less sugar will be required. A fair

given for the inversion OF the sugar by
the acids of the fruit and there is 1esN
danger Of Capitalization.
Cooking the JeIIy.-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 it with a spoon
or paddle. Dip a spoon or wooden
paddle in the boiling mass. Remove
and cool by moving it back and forth
for few seconds and then allow the
jelly to drop from it. AS long as there
is strip present it will run or drop
from the spoon. When the jellying
point is reached, it will break from the
spoon in fakes or sheets. When this
jelly stage is reached, remove from the
fire Immediately and skim. Swimming
at this point saves waste.
Filling Giasses.-After Swimming the
jelly, pour at once into hot sterilized
glasses and set aside to cool.
Cooling and SeaIing-Cool as rapid
ly as possible, avoiding dust which will
give contamination with mold When
the jelly is cold cover it with melted
paraffin. By running pointed stick
around the edge of the glass while the
paraffin is still hot, better seal can
be obtained.
Storing.-Jelly should be stored in q
cool, dark, dry place. If jelly is stored
for long period of time, it will de-
teriorate in texture, color and flavor.
Mistakes to Avoid.-Soft Jelly.-Jel-
lies 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 excess
sive water.
Tough Jelly.-JelIy 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 an acid for a sufficient length of
time, it is changed into form which
does not crystalline. Crystals are found
in jelly sometimes because the juice
is boiled to too great a concentration
before the addition of sugar, or in boil
ing the strip 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 off the juice or to not
| having used sufficient care in strain
| ing the juice. Sometimes it is noticed
| in apple and crabapple jelly that al
| though it is clear when first made, the
| jelly becomes cloudy after time. In
| these cases it usually is due to the use
of partly green fruit, the starch in this
| fruit probably causing the cloudy ap-
pearance.

proportion is three-fourths cupful OF
sugar to one cupful of juice. If the
pectin is thin and much separated, one
half cupful of sugar allowed for each
cupful of juice will be sufficient.
Quantity of Juice TO cook.-The
quantity of Juice to be cooked at one
time will depend upon the size OF the
vessel and the methods of heating
available. The capacity of the vessel
used should be four times as great
as the volume of juice to be cooked. Ii

FOOD HOGS GET SOAKED TWICE
BEFORE CITY COUNCIL
Two measures of tremendous i'm
portance to every common working
citizen-they affect the price of food,
ice, coal and living commodities
were born at the meeting Of the city
council yesterday.
The first asked preparation of an
enabling act to be presented to the
state legislature which would give
the city power to go into the business
of selling the necessities of life to
the people of the city at cost. This
would break the commission gang,
the food and ice clique and the de-
partment store hold on Chicago
pOcketbOOks.
The second was a move toward
preparation of a memorial to con-
gress to ask for the regulation of in
terstate shipments and the prices Of
fodstuffs and other necessities, de-
signed to stop speculation.

'They asked in very distinct terms
for establishment of municipal food
markets, as well as coal yards and ice
houses. They want these necessi-
ties Of life at cost. They are tired of
being held up by commission men
and spectators.
Il am introducing an enabling act,
which, if it goes to the legislature
with our recommendation and is
passed, will allow Chicago to take a
hand in the food situation for her cit
liens.
Another order which wish to Of
fer is a memorial to congress asking
action on the food question. It's the
best way of letting the governing
body of our country know how the
public feels.
Chicago has right to ask power of
the legislature to go into business.
Cities of Europe did it two years ago
when war put them up against a life
and-death struggle. This city should
be in a position to meet food specu-

The order intended to establish
local public markets follows:

kindred commodities, is bringing dis
