Exemption Changes Possible.
II is possible that some provision will
be made whereby all the sons OF one
family will not be taken. A new defini-

be one of the things acted upon. At
present, under regulations. a condition

JeHy Mistakes

Soft Jelly-Jellies sometimes are
sirupy because more sugar has been
used than the fruit juices require or
because boiling after the addition of
sugar was not continued long enough
TO drive off excessive water.
Tough Jelly-Jelly is tough or
stringy because too small an amount
of sugar was used for the quantity
of fruit juice taken or because the
boiling was continued after the jelly
ing point had been reached.
Crystals in Jelly-Crystals appear
thruout the jelly because OF an excess
OF sugar. When surgar is boiled with
an acid for sufficient length Of time,
II is changed into a form which does
not crystaliZe. Crystals are found in
jelly sometimes because the Juice is
boiled to too great a concentration
before the addition of sugar. or in
boiling the sirup spatters on the side
OF the pan, dries and in pouring the
finished product these crystals are
carried into the glasses OF jelly, and
in that way the jelly becomes seeded
with crystals.
Cloudy Jellies-This may be due to
having cooked the fruit too long be-
fore straining off the juice or to not
having used sufficient care in strain
ing the juice. Sometimes It is noticed
In apple and crab apple jelly that altho
1t Is clear when first made, the Jelly
becomes cloudy after a time In these
cases II usually Is due to the use of
partly green fruit, the starch in this
fruit probably causing the cloudy ap-
pearance.

SOME ODDITIES OF WARFARE
American Ships Cook Found New
Method TO Attack Submarines.

1t remained for an American ships
cook TO find a brand new method of
attack on U-boats. An enemy subma-
rine of the largest type on coming to
the surface found itself almost rub
bing sides with an American steamer
The unexpected encounter at such
close quarters caused a sensation on
board the ship and, presumably also
In the submarine. The cook on the
steamer seized a kettle of soup and
poured il over one of the U-boat's
periscopes. no doubt hoping to be-
cloud the lenses. The submarine
hastily submerged, and 1t made no
attempt to mofest the ship. The gro
tesqueness of the incident does not
conceal the spontaneous courage
which is Characteristic of American
seamen in all circumstances.

ships escaped much damage thru the
failure of German shells to burst. In
view of the perfection of most OF the
Germans mechanical devices, mill
tary experts are astonished at the
poor quality of the German fuses. 1t
is reassuring to know that the
American army and navy use the best
fuses in the world. and that American
fuses are in great demand in France.
