Jams are made of small fruits which
are not whole or firm enough to use
for preserves. No attempt Is made
to retain the original shape of the
fruit, the finished product having
uniform consistency. Marmalades have
a more jellylike texture and thin slices
of the fruit appear suspended through
out the mixture. In fruit buffers and
pastes frequently less sugar is used
than in jams and the product is more
concentrated. COnserves may be made
of large or small fruits, cooked in
the same manner as jams. Sometimes
nuts are added.
In stirring jams use wooden spoon
or paddle, moving it across the CEN
ter of the vessel first one way and then
the opposite, and next around the pan,
gently moving the mixture from the
bottom Of the pan, being careful not
to stir rapidly or beat. Cook the jam
to 105 degrees Centigrade or 221 de-

used.
If q cooking or chemical thermOme-
ter Is available more accurate results
can be obtained by it's use. The prop
er condition of the cooked fruit can
be determined approximately, how
ever, without the use of such instru-
ments. For determining when they
are finished most jams may be given
the same test as finished jelly; that
Is, when little Is held a moment and
cooled in a spoon, 1t will not pour from
the side of the spoon, but will fall In
n sheet or flake. This Is not true of
jams made of peaches, cherries, straw
berries, and other fruits not contain
ing pectin, the jellying principle. When
using such fruits, cook until the jam
Is Of the desired consistency.
Well-glazed Theoretically sealed
stoneware jars with capacity of eight
ounces and up, are suitable and at
tractive containers for packing jams,
marmalades, etc. Large-necked bot
ties, glasses, etc, also may be used
and sealed with cork, paraffin, etc
Jams and marmalades may be pack
ed hot In sterilized jars, glasses or
large-necked bottles, and sealed imme.

THE RUSH.

Consider the squad as one unit Of
company on the SkirmiSh line, de-
ployed for the fire attack" If it is inn
practicable for the company to adj
vance as a whole against the enemy's
lines, 1t may advance In PUSHES. This
Is done either by platOOns or by squad.
The new line to be occupied is indi-
Gated by the platoon leader or the crp-
tain of the company, who gives the
command "By squad, from the right
Oeft) RUSHw This means that the
squad on the extreme right of the
company Is to move, or rush, to the
new line first.
The men of the squad, who may be
lying fiat on the ground, or in kneel-
ing position, gather themselves in read
mess to spring forward. The corporal,
at the word "RUSHw cries Follow
meV' and, running at top speed, and
bent over to offer as small target
as possible to the enemy, leads the
squad to the new line. Here the men
drop to the prone position at the cor
poraps command or the signal for
halt" made by thrusting the arm up
vertically from the shoulder, and at
his command reopen fire. Unless the
platoon or company commander has
designated the distance to be covered
In the rush. the corporal of the squad
selects the new line.
After the first squad has taken up
the new line, the other squads fol-
low In succession, each starting the
rush when Its immediate predecessor
has gained the new line. The various
positions that the soldier takes in the
sklrmish line for firing, such as lying
prone or kneeling, will be explained in
another article. 1t should also be
stated that knowledge of the rifle

The Secret of Youth.

After all, the plain truth is that adj
venture consists less in the experiences
one actually has than in the indefatiga.
BILE expectancy with which one awaits
them, writes Edgar J. GOOdspeed in the
Atlantic. Indeed, | sometimes fear that
people must be divided into those who
have adventures and those who appre-
cate them And between the two the
affinity for adventure is greater treas.
ure than the experiencing of it. If we
are possessed ST the affinity, adventure
itself is, at most, just round the cor
ner from us. This opens the life Of
adventure to all who crave it. What
possibilities lie in merely crossing a
street, for example Some one re-
marked the other day as he lodged
across among the mOtOrcars, "Why not
take a chance now and then and lead
"A real life for few minutes"
| therefore recommend the life of adj
venture. 1t conceives each day as
fresh enterprise, full of delightful pos
Sibilties and promise, and so preserves
the wine of life from growing fiat.
Here is the secret Of youth.

far on the construction of the Panama
canal-for our road improvements
throughout the country. Mr.. Davis
contention is that good roads, roads
that run for thousands of miles
through state after state, are, proper
ly, not the responsibility of the state,
but of the nation. He would have the
federal government build a system of
national roads joining the West with
the East, the North and South, connect
ing every part of the country, as is
the case with the national highways
of Europe, and, as history shows, such
as was the essential equipment of ev-
cry first-clasS power of the past. How
would such an enormous construction
be paid for and kept up? Suppose"
asks this eminent en%neer, "the gov
eminent built 100000 miles of prop
erly planned roads, and at the same
time purchased, say, 800 feet of land
on either side. This land would 50
continually increase in value, and in
delsand for leasing on long rental, that
the cost of the road and the land pur-
chase would soon be paid. A rental
rate of $6G6 per acre would pay the
int crest on the cost of construction.
But much would rent at vastly higher
rates, in cities and towns, high enough
to give the nation an income equal to
its total annual experimentation
these national highways alone!

Store FRUIT juices.
How to Prepare for the Future
Comfort of the Family.
ALL FRUITS CAN Be UTILIZED
Grape Juice-Sirup Made From Wind
fall Apples and Apple Cider
Here Is a Fine Flavor
ing Sirup.

From the United States Department of
Agriculture.)
Various fruit jalces may be prepared
in the home and bottled for future use.
Practically any fruit may be used In
the first recipe following.
Sterilized Fruit Juices.-The fruit
juice may be pressed out of fruit by
means of a cider press, special fruit
press, or other improvlsed presses; then
heated in an acid-proof kettle up to
ITO degrees Fahrenheit The fruit juice
may then be poured into ordinary hot
Jars, hot bottles, or tin cans, and ham
died by the same directions as those
for canning of fruit itself. If poured
into miscellaneous bottles, 1t is sug-
gested that the fruit juice be sterilized
as follows:
Make a cotton stopper and press
into the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Set
bottles in boiling hot water up to the
neck Of the bottle, sterilizing the fruit
juice for 30 minutes at a simmering
temperature (165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove the product, press cork in top
over cotton stopper Immediately. If the
cork fits well, no paraftin need be used.
If poor cork, it may be necessary tn
dip the cork in melted solution of wax
or parafIin. Fruit juices and apple
cider when handled in this way will
not "fatten in taste" and will keep
fresh for future use.
Grape Juice by Two-Day Method
For home use there are a large num-
Der of varieties Of grapes which will
make a pleasant and healthful drink.
No matter what the kind of grape,
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1917-08-17

however, only clean, sound fruit
should be used and it should be well
ripened, but not overripe. The grapes
should first be crushed and pressed in
an ordinary cider mill or by hand II
no mill is available.
Red Juice.-For red Juice, the
crushed grapes are heated to about
200 degrees Fahrenheit before the juice
is separated from the pulp and then
strained through clean cloth or drip
bag without pressure. Thereafter, the
process is the same as for light-colored
juice.
Grape Juice should be stored away
in bottles or jars that are not too large,
for after these have been opened the
juice is likely to spoil. If property
made, however, the juice should keep
indefinitely as long as 1t is kept in
sealed bottles.
Sirup Made From WindfalI Apples
and Apple Cider.-Add five ounces of
powdered calcium carbonate obtained
at any drug STOREY to seven gallons of
apple cider. Powdered calcium car
Donate Carbonate Of lime) or, to give
it is common name, precipitated chalk,
Is low-priced and harmless. Boil the
mixture in a kettle or vat vigorously
for five minutes. Pour the liquid into
vessels, preferably glass jars or pitch
ers; allow to stand six or eight hours,
or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear
liquid into a preserving kettle. Do not
allow sediment at bottom to enter. Add
to the clear liquid one level teaspoon
full Of lime carbonate and stir thor
oughly. The process is completed by
boiling down rapidly to a clear liquid.
Use density gauge or candy thermome-
ter and bring the temperature up to
220 degrees Fahrenheit. If a thermom-
eter is not available, boil until bulk is
reduced to One-seventh of the original
volume. To determine whether the
sirup is cooked enough test as for
candy-by pouring a little into cold
water. If boiled enough it should have
the consistency of maple sirup. 1t
should not be cooked long enough to
harden like candy when tested.
When the test shows that the strip
has been cooked enough, pour it into
fruit Jars, pitchers, etc. and allow it
to cool slowly. Slow cooling Is i'm
pOrtant, as otherwise the suspended
matter will not settle properly and the
sirup will be cloudy.

Disturbing Remark.

A country lawyer was defending Il
prisoner who had killed man by hit
ting him on the head with brick.
The case against the prisoner being
quite clear, the counsel endeavOred to
get his client off by making per
fervid speech. He said; THE respon-
sibility of defending my client is al
most overwhelming. This morning, as
was walking in my garden enjoying
the lovely sunshine and balmy air, lis
tening to the birds singing, and look
ing at all the beautiful flowers, l said
to myself, My poor client, immured in
his cell, can see none Of these
things"
Just then spectator at the back of
the court shouted: "Neither can the
man he hit on the head with brick"

SYSTEM OF NATIONAL ROADS
We Will Soon See Necessity for Sep
arate Systems for Freight and
Passenger Traffic.

President Rowe of the American Au-
tomobile association says that in ten
years the United States will be COW
cred with systems of national roads.
BY that time he says we will begin to
see the necessity for separate systems
for freight and passenger traffic. Pres
ent highways will be greatly multi
piled and largely increased in width.
The quality will be improved as the
country begins to learn the art of
road building. Good roads he be-
lieves, are the greatest practical step
toward national preparedness.

Thanks to the pushful, pervasive
automobile, American road building
has "got move on" at last. There is
everywhere the cry for roads, for more
roads and for better roads. The draw
back has been that, as yet, there has
been no coordination of these multi
tudinous enterprises. The president of
the National Highways Association,
Charles Henry Davis, G. E., in re-
cent paper, stated that we spent last
year $249955,967, or more than two
thirds the total of money expended so

IMPROVE ROAD BY DRAGGING
Ordinarily It Is Best to Use impie-
ment When Surface Is "Moist,
but Not Sticky"

It is probable that you can improve
the road by dragging it the moment
the drag is purchased or constructed,
no matter what is the condition Of the
earth. Ordinarily, however, it is best
to drag when the surface is ''molst, but

Kidney Disorder
(BY DE. L. @. BABcoCK)

The most simple methods are usually
the most effective ones when treating
any disorder Of the human system.
The mere drinking cup of hot water
each morning, plenty Of pure water all
day. and o little Anuric before every
meal has been found the most effective
means of overcoming kidney trouble.
Death would occur if the kidneys did
not work day and night in separating
poiSons and uric acid from the blood.
The danger signals are backache,
dcpresSiouS. pains, heavinesS, drowsiness,
j.rigabilty. headache, chillness, rheumatic
tvingcs, swollen joints or gout.
Since it is such a simple matter to step
INTO Your favorite drug store and obtain
'nU.ic. anyone who earnestly desires To
health and new life will waste nc
ming this treatment
