SAVE SUGAR IN JELLY MAKING.
simple Alcohol Test Prevents Waste Of
Sugar ami Failure OF Jcuics.

Washington, June 19.-Much waste
of sugar and spoilage of jelHes can
be avoided by using simple alcohol
test recommended by the Bureau of
Chemistry. United States Department
OF Agriculture. To determine how
much sugar should be used with each
kind of juice put a spoonful of Juice
In a glass and add to 1t one spoonful
of 95 per cent. grain alcohol, mixed by
shaking the glass gently. Pour slow
ly from the glass. noting how the
pectin-the substance in fruits which
makes them jell--is precipitated., II
the pectin Is precipitated as one lump
a cup Of sugar may be used for each
cup OF Juice; IL In several Jumps the
proportion OF sugar must be reduced
to approximately three-fOurths the
amount Of the Juice. II the pectin is
not In Jumps but Is merely precipitat-
cd. the sugar should be one-haIf or
less OF the amount Of the juice. II
the juice shows no precipitation un-
der this test, II Is unsuitable for jelly
making and must be combined with
apples or other juices rich in pectin.
The housewife will do we'll before
making the test. to taste the juice, as
fruits not as acid as good tart apples
probably will not make good jelly un-
less mixed with ether fruits which
are acid.

SECRET CIPHER On MACHINE
Code Messages Can BE Produced on
New Typewriter by Writing on
Keyboard In Usual Way.

You can write secret cipher letters
on typewriter recently placed on the
market. The machine makes it's own
cipher and offers more than a million
combinations. To make q cipher, the
message is written on the keyboard
In the ordinary way.
The cipher is determined by a de-
tachable plate or disk containing 80
holes In two concentric circles of Is
holes each. For each Of these holes
there IS pin, and to make q cipher
combination these pins may be insert
ed In or left out Of any Of the holes,
as fancy dictates. Then, in writing
the copy, the machine may write nm
*" for an "a" the first time it occurs,
then "a "p," and so on.
It is impossible to predetermine
what code letter will appear In operat.
ing the machine. To decipher q code
message the person receiving the
communication must have a compile
mentary disk, with pins properly ar
ranged, and one Of the machines to re.
produce the message as originally writ.

SHIPS IN ARGENTINA.
Discuss Whether or Not They Shall

Buenos Aires, June 1S.-In view of
the expected arrival of a squadron of
American warships the cabinet today
took up the question Of their status
while in Argentine waters No def
mite decision was reached but it is
probable the warships will not be
treated as belligerents.
Objections are being raised in GER
tain quarters to permitting the war
ships to remain in Argentine ports
longer than the time allowed for
belligerents, on the ground that it
would be in violation of neutrality.
Many influential men, however. in
Guiding a number of former minis

for a reception of such a charter as
TO emphasize the sympathetic attitude
of the people toward the United States

Red Cross to Back the Army.

(By Maj. Gen. John ]. Pershing.)
Maj. Gen. Pershing said he would
rather face a battery than to face
such an audience, but came at the re-
quest Of Red Cross officers to say a
word as to the part the Red Cross
played in the Mexican expedition.
He told of the comfort bags sent by
Miss Boardman as Christmas pres
ents to the men at the border.
The point to be impressed Is that
these things bring to the soldier the
knowledge that the people at home
are behind him, and you don't know
how much that is going to mean to
us who are going abroad and to any
soldier who, Is carrying on the conflict
for his country. That is the point
that should be impressed in the minds
OF those working for the soldier.
The great work of this Red Cros.
Is to help our allies. AS understand
II. the people in France are in sore
straits. Now the drain that comes up
on the French people reduces their
power to fight and we must meet
their deficiencies. Therefore. 1t is our
first duty to help them rehabilitate
themselves. We must help their or
phans. their widows. We must put
them in a position to produce. We
must help them in every way to re-
lieve the French nation from the drain
upon II. as II will be drain upon It's
military resources.
The feeling among our people Is
very lax. They have not begun to
realize that we are in this great war
So you men here can do no greater
work than to start this movement and
bring them to the full realization OF
the very grave seriousness of this wal
and make them feel that we are In
this to win and the probability Is that
our entering the war is going to be
the deciding factor and the bhrden OF
the success Is going to rest on the
United States.
