WHEN THE FLAG GOES BY

1 CThus speaks Private Tbompkins, i veteran of foreign serYice.) Love of the flag? Well, what do
 you know of it?- What do the men of your kind ever show of it, But stand on your legs when the colcrs so by
 And yelp with the others and never know why? What do you know, who dodge all the wars Ard don't know the colOrs ex- cept at bazaars? Love Of the flag? We'll, what do you know of it?-.. Men of your kind who ne'er saw the glow of it Against the black sky at the end of the day
 When crimson and daylight were ebbing away? What do you know, who never sur mise How easy a soldier can smile when he dies? Love of the flag? We'll. what can you tell of it?- Never saw a battle, and don't know the smell of 1t! And yet you will boast of your love for theflag, And don't know the cost of the starry old rag!- Don't know the cost in death and in woe,
 And don't stop to think of the debt that you owe! s LCye of the flag? Well, If you would know of it, Out on the skirmish line men make a show of it; .Its not the bright colors you see at bazaars,
 But tattered and fraZzled by heathenish wars! Hark while the sergeant is checking the "Lost"-
 That's love of the flag and the price that it cost!

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 n
distinct cleavage, retaining the angles
where cut. II should sparkle and be
tender enough to culver without break
ing.
Fruit for Jelly Makinp-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, n jelly with the
| color and flavor Of the fruit selected
= can be made.
Extracting the JuIee.-Wash such
fruit as berries, grapes and currants
I'm 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,
n 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 o as the
fruit is tender the liquid should be
squeezed through a cheeseclOth and
then be allowed to drip, without pres
sure through n flannel jelly bag Qllus-
trated). Overlooking of the fruit is apt
to result in a cloudy Jelly. After cool
ing the Juice to room temperature test
1t to determine the amount of pectin
present. This test gives some idea of
the proper proportion Of sugar to Juice.
Add n tablespoonful 80 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 pectin in a jellylike mass
If a large quantity Of pectin is present
1t 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
