Various fruit juices may be prepared
In the home and bottled for future use.
Practically any fruit may be used In
the first recipe following.
Steriiized Fruit Julees.-The fruit
Juice may be pressed out of fruit by
means of a cider press, special fruit
press, or other improvised presses; then
heated In an acid-proof kettle up to
10 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, II 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 80 minutes at a simmering
temperature GIGS degrees F~ahrenheit).
Remove the product, press cork In top
over cotton stopper Immediately. II the
cork fits well, no parafin need be used.
II a poor cork, 1t may be necessary to
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

Seven Indians Join Guard.

Wagner.-Seven Sioux Indian young
men belonging on the Sankton Indian
reservation have joined the services
of their country, having enlisted in
the Parker company of the South Da-
kota national guard. A large number
OF persons gathered at the agency to
wish them godspeed when they de-
parted to join their company at Par
ker. They took a train in Wagner,
the closest point to their reservation,
and while awaiting the train enter
tanned the townspeople by singing
hymns. The names of the young In
dams are varied and some of them
are unique. The Indian recruits are:
Peter Frederick, Andrew La Plant,
Frank Obershaw, Jessie st. Pierre,
Charles Littleowl, Adam Feather and
George Blome. All are fairly well edu,
Gated. They are enthusiastic and
courageous and 1t is believed they

of War.

Sioux Falls.-The United States au
thorities in this city were notified of
the finding Of a man who was not
aware that the United States and Ger
many were at war. He is Joseph
Sefranek, a rancher living near Al
ada, Mont. who was arrested by a
deputy marshal on the charge Of fail
ing to register. When taken before
United Slater Commissioner Moore,
OF Lawrence county, he was able to
prove that he vas totally unaware of
the declaration of war and that TO-
900, 900 Americans had been required
to register their names for service in
the army. He said he was not in the
habit of keeping posted on current
events. In view Of the apparent truth
of his statements the case against him
was dismissed after he had gone
through the formality Of being regis
tered.

unhurt When Car Turtles.

Gregory.-Charles Stapletcn had a
thrilling adventure and a narrow es-
cape from death while coming to
Gregory In an automobile. He had
just crossed the Missouri river and
was driving up a big hill near Snake
creek when the car commenced back
ing down the hill. Stapleton attempt
ed to III the car into the bank beside
the dangerous pathway up the hill,
but the momentum of the car carried
1t upon the bank and it turned over.
Stapleton saved his life by his pres
ence OF mind in crawling into the
bottom of the car, where he braced
himself against the back. The car
turned turtle, but Stapleton, by his
foresight. was safe, and outside of the
car sustaining a smashed top and
broken windshield no damage was
done. The driver of another car pried
open the door and released ~Stapleton,
none the worse for his unusual ad-
venture. The brakes of the car. it
was found, were useless because
grease had worked out around them.

Beresford.-Deloss Smith, son of
residents of Bsresford, had a narrow
escape from drowning while swim
ming in a pond about two miles from

Delbridge, who proved himself a hero.
D%elbridge secured a log and pushed
1t into the pond to the spot where
young Smith had last disappeared aft
er being seized with cramps, and when
he came to the surface for what would
have been the last time Delbridge

however, only clean, sound fruit
should be used and 1t should be well
ripened, but not overripe. The grapes
should first be crushed and pressed In
an ordinary cider mill or by hand IL
no mill is available.
Red Juiee.-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 a 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 properly
made, however, the juice should keep
indefinitely as long a. 1t is kept In
sealed bottles.

A Review OF the Work OF the state

With a record breaking enrolment
of sos students during the school year
just ended, the University Of South
Dakota is likely to continue to in
crease. despite the war. The number
of inquiries for catalogs is larger than
ever before, and the requests for in
formation from prospective students
arc coming from every county In the
state.
The new university buildings will
be put up as soon as the contracts can
be let and ground broken. The last
legislature gave its approval to the
engineering building, to cost $25. 900.
and to a women's building which will
cost $125,00O. Holmes and Finn, Of
Chicago and Sioux Falls, are the archi-
tects. These new buildings will re-
lieve the strain in Science hall, where
additional class room is badly needed.
by taking some of the engineering
work from that building. The home
economies department will move from
the new chemistry building to the
women's building, and this will give
more room for laboratories and class
rooms to accommodate the students
in chemistry.
On the heels of the most successful
summer session the University sof
South Dakota eve held. the an
nouncement that the extension and
correspondence work, under DR.. w. F.
Jones. is to be expanded and the num-
Der Of extension centers increased.
Special courses, starting in Novem-
Der, will be offered for young men
who have been engaged In farming
and who desire to make a semester's
credit at the university during the
period between seasons Of outdoor
work on the farm. Similar plans OF
sandwiching In extra courses have
been adopted at other leading Amer
lean state universities for the period
Of the war.

Berry Jam.-In selecting berries for
jam the ripe, broken one will give
fine color and flavor, but about one
half the quantity should be slightly un-

Cooking IN small quantities also helps
to retain color and flavor. Weigh the
berries and allow three-fourths of a

Rapid cooking with constant care is
essential.
