FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLY.

Fruit juices for use later in jelly making can ne sterilized and bottled without sugar ana made iuto jellies at the housewife's 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 greater variety of jellies, as juices which will not jell can be put up when the fruit is ripe and combined later with fruits that will jell, or fruit 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 combination jelly.
 From the unsugared steriiized juices of entrants, apples, crabapples, and grapes, kept from 9 to IS months, the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, recently made jellies of excellent texture, flavor and color.
 To put up unsugared fruit juices for for jelly making proceed exactly as if
 
 Ccok the fruits until they are soft and strain out the juice through flannel bag. Heat and pour while hot into bottles previously scalded. Fill the bottles full, leaving no air space be- | tween 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 30 minutes. Make sure that the corked UT sealed end is under the hot water. AS soon as the bottles are cool cover the cork with paraffin seal. Thorough sterili- zation and sealing are absolutely essen. tial to success.
 To make jelly from the sterilized juice, test its telling quality, add the proper amount of sugar, and proceed as in making jelly from freshly. ex- pressed juice.

is to be thrown on the shoulders Of
President Wilson. AS the wheat fair
price committee entered on its pro-
longed elaboration it prepared to
shift the final fixing OF wheat prices
to President Wilson.
Chairman Garfield said the commit.
tee probably would reach a decision
making recommendations to Presi.
dent Wilson but not attempting to fix
prices itself.
When the committee went into ses.
sion 1t a expected the price Of
wheat would be fixed Immediately.
Somewhere there has arisen a snag.
No member of the committee vii!
speak of the deliberations. however.
Members of the committee repre-.
senting the producers have announced
they will issue a separate statement,
and 1t is possible they will make sep.
arate recommendations to President

In the light of this announcement i,
was believed that the deadlock had
been caused by general favor Of q
price too low to suit the producers. II
two recommendations are made tht
