FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLIES
May Be steriIized and Bottled With.

at Any Time.

Fruit juices for use later In jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into jellies at
the housewives convenience. This en-
ables her to do with fewer jelly glasses
and to distribute her purchases Of SUI
gar 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 fruits
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.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making proceed exactly as If jelly
were to be made at the time. Cook
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 filed sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about thir-
ty minutes. Make sure that the corked
or sealed end Is under the hot water.
AS soon as the bottles are cool cover
the cork with a paraffin seal. Thor
ough sterilization and sealing are alb
solutely essential to success.

THE LAKE WEIR RED CROSS SETS
AN EXAMPLE

Too much praise cannot be bestow-
ed on the Lake Weir branch OF the
Red Cross.
The ladies composing this branch of
this patriotic order have infused their
enthusiasm to its chairman, Mr.. Chas.
Rheinauer, and he has likewise i'm
parted his restless energy to the
whole chapter. and the result is that
no community of the same size
throughout the bounds of the United
States has made bigger, better or
more magnificent showing.
Today this branch mas 109 members,
is out of debt, and besides sending
so packages of medical supplies to
the headquarters in Jacksonville, has
contributed the following supplies to
the Ocala chapter:
Twenty-seven pillow cases, twelve
pairs pajamas, thirty-three tray
cloths, twenty-seven dust cloths, five
wash rags, thirty-four sponges, seven
ty-eight napkins, twenty-four pairs
wristlets. ten sweaters, two helmets,
ten scarfs. three ice bags, and are pre-
pairing twenty-five packages for
Christmas.
Those behind the Red Cross move
ment on the shores of beautiful Lake
Weir deserve and are receiving a
need of praise, and they are fairly en-
titled to all they have won and more

LONG COTTON AND BOIL wEEvIL

Two cars OF long cotton are being
loaded at this writing, bringing the
highest price Of the season, 22c. per
pound. There remains in the fields
yet considerable amount. Cotton
this year has brought much money to
this section and indications are that
a much greater acreage win be plant
ed next season. It Is admitted that
the boil weevil is in our neighboring
county Of Lake, but that does not
seem to be having a deterrent effect
on the progressive farmers over there,
and let US hope 1t viii not have adj
verse effect on our planters either.
Cotton is now an absolute necessity;
1t must be had for clothes, automobile
tires, and all the high explosives use
it IN some form. So whatever cotton
IFS produced, viii bring price that

One of the latest to add his I'M

Liver Medicine is John Bunyon
Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In letter
dated August rs, 1917, he says:

that have taken Martins Liver
Medicine and obtained most desir-
able results. Martins Liver Medi-
cine is pleasant to the taste, does

taker in any way 1t acts positively
and yet gently upon the liver and it
is my opinion that it is superior to
any liver medicine sold"
Martins Liver Medicine is strictly
vegetable in ingredients, contains
no poisonous calomel, is pleasant to
take and is sold with the standing
guarantee that if it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle
can be returned to the drug store
and the SOC paid for it will be re-
funded. AS a medicine for consti-
patton, sick headache or other liver
and stomach troubles, Martins

THE RESULTS

Bible found in the cornerstone of ar
old mission recently torn down, the
following lines appear In small
quaint handwriting:

With many many lady friends
And many, many wives.
When old age crept upon them,
With many, many qualms,
King Solomon wrote the Proverbs
And King David wrote the Psalms.
