BELIEVES NORTH
 RUSSIA WILL TAKE
 ANY PEACE OFFER
Correspondent Thinks Part of Country Will Back
 Bolshevilxi.

London, Dec29.-Special dispatches from Petrograd bearing date, of Thursday a. n1., give an impression Of how the German peace reply was re- ceived there, but the statements are inexplicit and seem to be based part ly on surmise The reply, according to the correspondent of the Daily News, created a favorable impression, gen erally, and he believes that if the Bolsheviki convene the constituent as- sembly now they will have Russia al- most solidly behind them.
 Representing the people as dispir- tied and indifferent owing to the mis- erable conditions of life, including the food shortage, the correspondent of the Morning Post says that as far as northern Russia is concerned it will accept peace on any terms the Ger mans may like to impose. How the remainder of Russia will act, he adds, is another question. The correspon- dent of the Times is eof the opinion that the Bolsheviki is disheartened over the German refusal to allow na- tionalities hitherto without political independence to decide their own fu- ture. He says that as the Russian del egates will adhere to this demand, it is likely to be serious stumbling block to further negotiations.
 Petrograd, the Post correspondent says, is full of Germans who quite at ease, speak the Berlin dialect loudly, the Russians not protesting. In gen eral, he says, the feeling of the allied residents of northern Russia at the present moment finds it's nearest par allel in that of the European residents in Peking during the Boxer troubles.
 He quotes representative of one of the allies as saying to him last week:
 We shall put up with any affront to keep Russia in the war;" e

FRUIT JUICES FOR JELLY.

Fruit juices for use later in jelly
making can be sterilized and bottled
without sugar and made into %jellies at
the housewives convenience. This
enables her to do with fewer jelly
glasses and to distribute her purchas-
es Of sugar for jelly making through
the year. Moreover, 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 combined later with fruits that
will jell, or fruits ripening at differ
ent seasons can be combined. For ex-
ample, the juice of strawberries, cher
ries, or pineapple can be kept without
sugar and later when apples are plen-
tiful can be made into combination
jelly.
From the unsugared sterilized juices
of currants, apples, c%rabapples and
grapes, kept from 8 to Is months, the
Bureau of Chemistry, United States
Department of Agriculture, recently
made jellies of excellent texture, fla
vor and color.
To put up unsugared fruit juices for
jelly making proceed exactly as if
jelly We're to be made at the time.
Cook the fruits until they are soft
and strain out the juice through a
flannel bag. Heat and pour while hot
into bottles previously scalded. Fill
the bottles full, leaving no air space
between juice and cork or seal. Place
the filled sealed bottle on their sides
in water near the boiling point, and
keep them in the bath for about &c
minutes. Make. sure that the corkeG
or sealed end is under the hot water
AS soon as the bottles are cool cover
the cork with a paraffin seal. Thor.
ough sterilization and sealing are alb.
solutely essential to success.
