HER WORK NOT APPRECIATED
Cook Thought Efforts Wasted Because
Master Was Not Laid Up Per-
odicaIIy From Overeating.

A lady had cook who gave her ev-
cry satisfaction, and she was under the
impression that the cook was equally
satisfied with her place. But one morn
ing, to the lady's intense surprise. the
cook told her she was going away.
Whatever do you want to leave for,
Jane?" asked her mistress. 81 am very
pleased with you. and I thought you
were quite comfortable here"
"Yes, mum, I'm comfortable enough
in way. but"
The cook hesitated and fidgeted
about.
But what?" quened her mistress.
swell, num-" she blurted out, "the
fact Is. master doesn't seem to appre-
ciate my cookery, and can't stop in a
place where my efforts to please are
wasted; so I'd rather go, num-"
But what makes you think that
your master doesn't appreciate your
cookery? Has he ever complained to
you?" asked the lady.
mo, mum; but my last master was
always bein' laid up through overeat-
ing-he said he couldn't help doing so,
because by cookery was SO delicious;
but master here hasn't been laid up

with you, and that's just what bothers

JELLIEs FROM PEcTlN.

Pectin, the essential jelly-making
substance, may be extracted from
fruits rich in it. and this concentrated
product used with the juices of fruits
deficient in pectin, for the making of
excellent jellies.
Apple Pectln.-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 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
volume of juice. Pectin can be bot.
tied, processed for Is minutes in a 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 AppIe) Peetin
JeIIy-One pint concentrated orange
Cor 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 (or Apple)
Pectin JeIIy.-One-half pint concen-
trated orange (or apple) pectin, one
half pound sugar, one-half pint straw
berry juice. Mix orange Cor applet
pectin juice and the strawberry juice,
bring to 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 (or AppIe)
PeetIn JelIy-Add one pint orange Tor
applet pectin Juice to one pint pineap-
pie juice which has been boiled for
ten minutes, add one pound sugar and
continue boiling until the jellyipR
point is reached. Pour Immediately
into hot sterillzed Jelly, glasses and
skim. When cold, pour hot parafin
over the Jelly.

prepared by the United States Depart

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 Makino-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, jelly with the
color and flavor Of the fruit selected
can be made.
Extracting the yulce.-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 flannel jelly bag (illus-
rated). Overlooking Of the fruit is apt
to result in q 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 05 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 pectn in 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

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS

You say to the drug store man,
"Give me a small bottle Of freezone."
This will cost very little but will
positively remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet.
A few drops Of this new ether COM
pound applied directly upon a tender,
aching corn relieves the soreness in
stantly, and soon the entire corn or
callus, root and all. dries up and can
be lifted OF with the fingers.
This new way to rid ones feet Of
corns was introduced by Cincinnati
man, who says that freezone dries in
a moment, and simply shrivels up the
corn or callus without irritating tha
surrounding skin.

given for the inversion Of the sugar BY
the acids Of the fruit and there Is less
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
or paddle. Dip a spoon or wooden
paddle in the boiling mass. Remove
and cool by moving it back and forth
for a few seconds and then allow the
jelly to drop from 1t. AS long as there
is sirup present it will run or drop
from the spoon,. When the jellying
point is reached, 1t will break from the
spoon in flakes or sheets. When this
jelly stage is reached, remove from the
fire Immediately and skim. Skimming
at this point saves waste.
Filling GIasses.-After skimming 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 1t with melted
paraffin. By running a pointed stick
around the edge of the glass while the
paraff1n is still hot, a better seal can
be obtained.
storina.-Jelly should be stored in a
cool, dark, dry place. If jelly Is stored
for a 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.-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 an acid for 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 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 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 a 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. II 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. If
the attempt is made to cook q large
quantity Of Juice at one time over a
slow flame, there will be q loss of color
and 6screase. in the yield, partly due
to the destruction Of the pectin.
