Jelly Making


A good jelly should be bright, of
ed from the glass, it should retain the
shape of the mold. The jelly can be
cut with a distinct cleavage, retain
ing the angles where cut. 1t should
sparkle and be tender enough to quiv-
er without breaking.
Fruit for Jelly Making.-The juice
from certain fruits, such as grape,
apple, crabapple, orange, 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 without 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 and ounce
contain pectin but are deficient in
acid. If the missing property be add
ed to each of these fruits, jelly with
the color and flavor of the fruit select
ed can be made.
Extracting the Juice.-Wash such
fruit as berries, grapes, and currants
in running water and add one cup of
water to each pound of fruit. For
apples, ounces, and such hard fruits,
wash, slice, and add cups water to
each pound of fruit. The fruit
should be cooked until tender, a small
quantity of water being added to help
extract the juice. The fruit will flow
more freely when heated than when
cold, and the cooking revelops the
pectin. AS soon as the fruit is tender
the liquid should be squeezed through
a cheesecloth and then be allowed TO
drip, without pressure, through a
flannel bag. Overlooking of the fruit
is apt to result in a cloudy jelly. At
ter cooling the juice to room temper
allure test it to determine the amount
of pectin present. This test gives
some idea of the proper proportion of
sugar to juice. Add one tablespoon
full 80 precent 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 large guam
tity of pectin is present it will APP
pear in one mass or clot when poured
lTOI1 Tile grass. Ills lllulCdIcS llldI
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 pro-
portion is y cup of sugar to one cup
of juice. If the pectin is thin and
much separated, one-half cup of SUI
gar allowed for each cup of juice will
be sufficient.
Details to Be Observed.-Quantity
of juice to cook.-The quantity of
juice to be cooked at one time will de-
pend upon the size of the vessel and
the methods of heating available. The
capacity Of the vessel used should be
four times as great as the volume of
Juice to be cooked. If the attempt
is made to cook a large quantity of
Juice at one time over slow flame,
there will be loss of color and
decrease in the yield, partly due to
the destruction of the pectin.
When to add the sugar.-When the
proportion Of sugar to juice has been
determined, measure the fruit juice
and place over the fire to cook. When

CHILDRENS PULPIT
Each for All and All for Each


We are hearing great deal these
days about a new ideal, which each of
us should make our own. The ideal,
perhaps, is not so new, for it certain
ly limited at long years, yet our pres
ent realization of it is vivid and fresh
If not new. 1t is being expressed in
these words: Each for all and all for
each" We mean by it that no one is
to work selfshly and for himself only.
We must work together for one an
other.
This is clearly seen away back in
the life of the Children, as they jour-
neyed from Egypt to Canaan. They
came to the place where Moses faith
er-in-law had planned on leaving
them, and returning to his own home.
Yet he was the only one who knew
the way across to Canaan. Moses
asked him to go on with them that
che might be eyes For them" He
finally decided to go with them, and
thus became eyes for that mighty
host, for there was no one else who
could lead the way. Without him
they would have been blind, and
might not have reached Canaan at all.
But still, this man could not do ev-
erything. There is something more
to do in life than just direct the way.
There were disputes and quarrels that
had to be settled. This was Moses
work. No one knew as we'll as he
how men ought to act toward one an
other. Then they realized that they
needed someone to conduct the religi-
Gus services. This Moses could not
do. Nor could his father-in-law. But
Aaron was fine public speaker, so it
was his lot to conduct the religious
services. Also they needed some
singers, someone to get water and
food, and make clothes. Oh, there
was hundred things to be done. No
one could do them all, but each could
do something.
Paul expressed this same truth
when he said that we are just like our
bodies. Each Of us is a member of
this great body of humanity. Tho
eye cannot hear, but it can see. The
ear cannot see, but it can hear. The
nose cannot talk, but it can smell.
The tongue cannot smell, but it can
talk. 1t would be a funny man who
had eyes but no ears, or nose, or
mouth. He must have them all if he
is to be a perfect man physically.
1t is just so in life. We are all
needed because each of us can fill a
place that no one else can fill so well
as we. If we fail all society must fail.
1t takes US all to make a good, strong
Sunday school. And that is a good
Sunday school, indeed, where every
member is working for everyone else.
Each for all and all for EACH"

Have Potato Planting Day.

Realizing the fact that potatoes
have become a luxury as we'll as one
of the necessary staples of the every

the Congregational church gathered
at their headquarters on Wednesday
last and organized themselves and
their friends into a potato planting
club.
They have a lot of considerable
size on which the house is located
where the Society holds it's meetings,
and they conceived the idea that it
would be profitable investment to
plant the lot to potatoes and thus lay
the foundation, at least, for a for
tune. With this idea in view, the
ladies gathered and begun the work,
providing in the meantime, a sump-
tuous dinner which was served to the
laborers at noon, and having so a.
bundantly prepared for this feature
there was plenty left over for supper
which was served and greatly enjoy
ed after the completion of the days
