FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLY.
Agricultural Department Tells How
to Keep Them Without Sugar.

Washington, June 11.-Fruit juices
for use later in jelly making can be
sterilized and bottled without sugar
and made into jellies at the house
wifes convenience. This enables her
to do with fewer jelly glasses and to
distribute her purchases of sugar for
jelly making through the year. More
over, with the bottled Juice she can
make a greater variety of jellies, as
juices which will not jell can be put
up when the fruit is ripe and COM
bined later with fruits that will jell
or fruits ripening at different seasons
can DC combined. For example, the
juices of strawberries, cherries, or
pineapple can be kept without sugar
and later, when apples are plentiful,
can lie made into combination jelly.
From the unsugared sterilized juices
of currants, apples, crabapples and
grapes, kept from nine to eighteen
months, the Bureau of Chemistry
United States Department of Agricui-
ture, recently made jellies Of excellent
texture, flavor and color
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 filled sealed bottles on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about thirty
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 parafin seal. Thorough
sterilization and sealing are absolute
ly essential to success.
To make jelly from the sterilze1
juices, test its jelling quality, add the
proper amount of sugar, and proceed
as in making jelly from freshly ex-
pressed juice

Early Morning Fire.

Tuesday about 3 o'clock a. m.,
when the whole city was asleep the
fire boys had an early call to fire
out on Manning avenue, across the
railroad. Despite the early hour, the
nrcmen were on their job and did
good work in getting to the fire and
putting out the confagraton.
When the truck reached the scene,
the building was almost half destroy
ed but connection was soon made
and Il couple of streams were playing
on the blaze. The building, which
was store owned by Mrs. Ligon, but
occupied by a negro, was too far gone
to be saved but good work was done
in saving the adjoining building
which caught several times.

How To Double the Returns From
Each Acre i'm Corn.


During the past ten years the aver
age acre of corn in the South has
yielded, on an average, 10 bushels. We
propose here to show that it is possible
this year to exactly double the returns
from each acre in corn. To do this,
three things must be done.
/. Cultivate shallow and often.
Drouth at a CRITICAL period often is re-
sponsible for heavy decreases in corn
yields Drouths of course are beyond
our power to prevent, but cultivation
of the right kind may largely offset
their evil effects, When we destroy
grass and weeds by cultivation the
moisture and plant food they would
have taken of course go to the corn
crop. Let us. then. see to it that
these robbers ere never allowed to
grow il our corn fields. Good cult
vation also saves moisture for the corr
crop by preventing loss through evap-
Grafton. Every farmer should aim to
have a dust blanket or dust mulch
maintained in every corn field. This
is stop No. 1, and should, if generally
practiced, raise the average yield no
less than five bushels per acre.
2. Top-dress with nitrate of sodl
or sulphate of ammonia. We think
there is no possible doubt that the
greatest plant food need of corn, al
least in the South, is nitrogen. OF
course the best way to get this nitro
gen is from the air through legumc
crops. but right now we have many
millions of acres that are <sorely in
need of nitrogen, and there is n
time to wait for the legumes. The
corn crop needs it and needs it i'm.
mediately. To supply this immediate
need nitrate OF soda or sulphatc o.
tmmon at the rate Of 60, so or 100
pounds per acre should be used This
is step No and should, on millions
of acres Of our thin lands, raise the
corn yield another five bushels per
acre.
3. Plant peas. beans or peanuts
with all corn. Just as nowadays tho
farmer who fails to get a second Gro;
after his small grain is doing poo
work, so the farmer who fails to grow
legume crop with his corn is falling
short Of his opportunities for increas
ing the feed and plant food suppl
Using any one of the three crops
named will certainly result i'm an in
creased return from the land that will
he worth at least five bushels of corn.
and probably ten or fifteen. This is
step No. 3.
Are you going to do these things
that will double the return from your
land, or are you going to be content
with the usual 5 bushels THE Pro- |

Representative Cooper, OF Wiscon-
sin, interrupted to demand that the
speaker stay within his personal priv
ilege and explain to the house merely
if he made the statement and IL he
could prove 1t were SO.
Speaker Clark ruled that Hef1in's re-
mark about spies in the galleries was
not properly a part of a personal priv

from the record.

had a right to say that certain mem
bers had acted suspiciously.
"They have not conducted them

that the house was not treating him
fairly. Speaker Clark asked members
not to interrupt.

declared Helm. 81 can't prove any

There was another chorus of "boos''

Helm then launched an impassion-

by all members and took his seat.
Representative Fordeny OF Michigan
introduced a resolution demanding
that Helm prove his charge.

MAKE CANDLES
OUT OF PAPER
BOYS and Girls of keokuk Can Help
Out In Fuel Supply in
This Way if They
Wish.

Here is a suggestion for patriotic
work for boys and girls:
In Italy and France women ano
children are rolling old newspapers
into tight rolls, FASTING down the
ledges with glue or paste, and boiling
them in paraffin to make ration
heaters (scalda-rancio) out OF them
for the use of the soldiers in the
trenches in the high Alps, where coal
cannot be sent They are making
them by the million.
In America there are still millions
of candle ends and thousands OF tons
OF newspapers scattered over the
country, and it would seem to be well
worth while for the thousands OF Will
ing hands in the homes to convert
them into these most useful ration
heaters for the boys at the front, OF
for their use next winter in the
training camps, or even for use at
home, where they can take the place
of the more expensive solid alcohol
or replace kindlings in the kitchen
stove.
Spread out four newspapers, eight
sheets in all, and begin rolling at
the long edge. Roll as tightly as
pOSSlDle uulll lHt nan
rolled, then fold back the first three
sheets toward the rolled part and
continue to wrap around the rolled
part almost to the first fold, then
fold back another three sheets and
continue to wrap around the roll
again up to the last margin Of paper.
On this margin, consisting Of two
sheets, spread a little glue or paste
and continue the rolling, so as to
make a compact roll Of paper almost
like a torch. If six of the sheets
are not turned under. there will be
too many edges to glue.
While the newspapers may be cut
along the line of the columns before
rolling and the individual columns
rolled separately, as is done in the
making of the trench candles In
France, it is easier to roll the whole
newspaper into a long roll and then
cut it into short lengths. A sharp
carving knife, a pair of pruning
shears, or an old fashioned hay cut
ter will cut the rolls easily. These
little rolls must then be boiled for
four minutes in enough paraffin to
cover them and then taken out and
cooled. when they are ready to be
put in bags and sent to the front
If there are more newspapers than
candle ends, block paraffin can be
bought for a few cents at any gro
Gerry or drug store.
Three of these little rolls of paper
no larger than spool of silk, satur
ated with hot parafin and allowed tc
cool, will burn without smoke, which
in the present of the enemy is dan
gerous, and will boil pint of souI
in about ten minutes and keer
lighted for twenty minutes or hall
an hour. BY supporting the can OF
soup on pieces of rock and protect
ing the flames from the wind an idea
camp meal can be made.
