FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLY
MAKING KEPT WITHOUT SUGAR

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 con-
tainers. and to distribute her purchases
of sugar for jelly through the year.
Moreover, with the bottled juice she
can make a greater variety of jellies,
as Juices which will not jell can be
nut up when the fruit is ripe and com
bined later with fruits that will Jeil,
or fruits ripening at different seasons
can be combined. For example, the
Juice of strawberries, cherries, or pine
apple can be kept without sugar and
later when apples are plentiful can
he made into combination jelly.
From the unsugared sterilized juices
CT currants, apples, crab-apples ana
grapes, kept from to IS months, the
bureau of chemistry, United States de-
partment of agriculture, recently made
iellies of excellent texture, favor and
ard color.
! To put up unsugared fruit juices Tor
ielly-making, proceed exactly as If jelly
we're to be made at the time. Cook the
fruits until they are soft and strain
cut the juice through flannel bag
Heat and pour while hot into bottles
previously scalded. Fill the bottles
! full. leaving no air space between
;uice and cord or seal. Place the filled
and sealed bottles on their sides IN
water near the boiling point, and keep
them in the bath for about 30 minutes.
Make sure that the corked or sealed
end is under the hot water. As soon
as the bottles are cool, cover the CORR
with a parafin seal. Through steF-
ilization and sealing are absolutely es~
sential to success.
To make jelly from the sterilizec
Juice, test it's jelling quality, add the
proper amount of sugar, and proceed
as in making jelly from freshly ex'
ressed Juice.

ELLAVILLE CLUB WOMEN
DOING FINE WORK.

The clubwOmen throughout the Third
District will be interested in the SPLEEN
did work being done by the Ellaville
Woman's Club. Organized and admit
ted to the State federation but few

BY their own work and efforts these
earnest women have raised funds SUI

of $50 per month. A domestic science
department will be fitted up in the new

United Daughters of the Confederacy
having generously offered to equip this
department.
Realizing the Importance of a de-
partment of this kind in the schools
these energetic women have gone tc
work and accomplished wonders. Il
will also be the privilege of any mem
berS of the club to attend the classes
taught by this teacher and to get the
benefit of her instruction.
On registration day, members of the
Woman's club stayed at the registra-
ton places and pinned white flower

ROMANTIC MARRIAGE OF
INTEREST TO AMERICUS PEOPLE

Many in Americas will be interested
in the following clipping from the Sc

Brown, made many friends here while
the guest of her aunt, Miss Antoinette
Lockette:
Perched on a sled drawn by pair
o. slow-moving reindeer, with the
whining Northern winds flashing their
faces, DIR. L. H. French, veteran white
medicine man" of Alaska, and his bride
of less than two months, Miss Sue
Brown of Cincinnati, Ohio, will soon
start over the snow-caked trails of the
North on a honeymoon that is to be of
life duration.
For ten years, DR.. French, govern
ment medical officer in charge of the
southwestern district, who is now in
Seattle. has been taking the rounds of
the scores of native villages in his dis
trict ministering to the Aleuts, Es-
kimos and Indians.
BY reindeer caravan, dog team and
launch, he made his way to the widely
separated points in his district. Here
tofore he has been alone on these per-
ilous, lonely journeys across the long
stretches of uncharted, unsurveyed
lands. Wherever the native lived, no

WARM SPRINGS HAS
CROWN IN POPULARITY

Warm Springs, one of the best known
summer hesorts in Georgia, and fav-
orite with hundreds of people in this
and neighboring states, has opened for
the season. and many guests are al
ready gathering there for the baths
and climate
The number Of good roads by which
Warm Springs may be reached is re-
markable. From Columbus and Ala
bama points to the west are some OF
the finest roads in that section direcs
to the resort. while the roads from
south Georgia leading to it are unsur-
passed. The road from Atlanta by
Griffin is in splendid condition and the
automobile run of rs miles is pleas
antly made in few hours. There is
also good road from Atlanta by way
of Newman, Moreland and Greenville,
while Macon is only so miles away
over an easily and comfortably trav-
eled highway. In fact, there is scarce
ly a point in Georgia or its border
states which is not in good roads
touch with this poular resort. The
result is, many go direct to Warm
Springs in their cars and enjoy the
use of them while there; for there is
nc better road in the state than that
traversing the famous Pine Mountain
ridge from which may be had some of
the most beautiful valley views in the
south.
Warm Springs is on the north side
of Pine Mountain in Meriwether coun-
ty, 1000 feet above sea level. 1t is on
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad and the Columbus division of
the Southern Railway, which furnish
eight passenger trains daily, besides
weekend excursions. 1t takes its
name from the springs, which yield
1900 gallons per minute of water at 80
degrees Fahrenheit; for the climate is
delightfully."- cool and mosquitoes are
unknown. The baths, from the springs
which is one of the country's natural
wonders, are refreshing and stimulat~
| ing and said to be specific for rheu-
matism and similar complaints. Hun
dreds of people gather there for them
at the weekend The three large
hathting pools ane finished in con-
crete and smooth cement. The water
| is of almost identical analysis with
that of Hot Springs, Ark, and many
voluntary testimonials have come to
the proprietor regarding its curative
lpowers.
| The hotel is under the direct man
lagement of the owner, Chas. L. Davis,
who gives attention to every detail and
sees to it that the service is equal to
the best. 1t is well furnished, cleo
trically lighted and provided with san
litary sewerage and modern conven-
fences. There are bowling alleys, wide
lawns and Fairgrounds for the chill
dren. and everything to make for COM
Portable and pleasant summer rest.
People who have once been to Warm
Springs always go back. Indications
already are that the 1917 season will
be one of the liveliest in it's history.

whether it be in a lonely spot in the
snow in the Alaska wilds, under the
dark shelters of the Eskimo igloo or on
the shores of some stream.
Mrs. French has never been in Al
aska. This is her first trip away from
the East. She was formerly kinder
arten teacher in Cincinnati. She is
unused to life filed with constant
dangers and hardships but she is eager
to become "Westernized" as she ex-
pressed it.
It was on last EeT Years eve in a
LONE in the suburbs of Cincinnati that
DR.. French met his bride. He was OF
his way to New York to take a post
graduate course in surgery at an Feast
err university.
Want to Be Teachers.
Engaged in conversation he was
asked to describe his work. AS he re-
cited the thrills of life in the great
Northern territory, particularly as a
medicine man, the former Miss Brown
and two of her chums listened with
rapt attention. They were all school
teachers and when he had completed
his recitation they asked if there were
any positions open in Alaska govern
ment schools for three perfectly good
teachers"
DR.. French explained that the gov
ernment was always looking for the
right kind of teachers for this work
He suggested that they file their APP
plications. The three women promptly
did so. But Miss Brown later quietly
withdrew her application for aposi-
ton as a government school teacher
and with DR.. French went to the mar
rage license bureau and jointly made
an application for the necessary per
nit to weld them in wedlock.
