given for the Inversion Of the sugar By
the acids of the fruit and there II less
danger Of capitalization.
Cooking the Jslly.-After tho sugar
has dissolved. the cooking should be a.
rapid a. possible. Finished Jelly can
BE- obtained moro quickly BY rapid
cooking. Long cooking win tend to
darken the product and destroy the
pectin. which will cause tho nnished
Jelly to be less nrm.
Since no definite temperature can be
given for the finished jelly, the most
convenient means Of determining when
It is finished is to test it with q spoon
or paddle. Dip a spoon or wooden
paddle in the boiling mass. Remove
and cool by moving 1t back and forth
for a few seconds and then allow the
Jelly to drop from 1t. As long as there
is sirup present 1t will run or drop
from the spoon. When the jellying
point Is reached, 1t will break from the
spoon In flakes or sheets. When this
Jelly stage is reached. remove from the
fire Immediately and skim. Skimming
at this point saves waste.
Filling Giasses.-After skimming the
Jelly. pour at once into hot sterilized
glasses and set aside to cool.
Cooling and Seaiing.-Cool as rapid
ly as possible, avoiding dust which will
give contamination with mold. When
the Jelly is cold cover 1t with melted
paraffin. By running a pointed stick
around the edge of the glass while the
paraffin Is still hot, better seal can
be obtained.
storIno.-Jelly should be stored in a
cool, dark. dry place. If jelly is stored
for long period Of time, it will de-
teriorate in texture, color and flavor.
Mistakes to Avoid.-Soft Jelly.-Jel-
lies sometimes are sirupy because more
sugar has been used than the fruit
juices require or because boiling after
the addition Of sugar was not con-
tinued long enough to drive off exces-
sive 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 boil
Ing was continued after the jellying
point had been reached.
Crystals in Jelly.-Crystals appear
throughout the Jelly because Of an ex-
cess of sugar. When sugar Is boiled
with an acid for sufficient length Of
time. it Is changed into a form which
does not crystalline. Crystals are found
In Jelly sometimes because the Juice
Is boiled to too great a concentration
before the addition Of sugar, or in boil
Ing the sirup spatters on the side Of
the pan. dries, and in pouring the fin
fshed product these crystals are car
ried into the glasses Of jelly, and In
that way the Jelly becomes seeded
with crystals.
Cloudy Jelly.-This may be due to
having cooked the fruit too long be-
fore straining of the Juice or to not
having used sufficient care in strain
ing the juice. Sometimes 1t is noticed
in apple and crabapple Jelly that al
though 1t Is clear when first made, the
jelly becomes cloudy after a time. In
these cases it usually is due to the use
Of partly green fruit, the starch in this
fruit probably causing the cloudy ap-
pearance.

POVERTY RECOGNIZED
AS SOCIAL DISEASE
Leaders of Thought Say Its Dis.
appearance Will in Time Be
Effected by Adoption of
Wise Social Party.
Alfred w. Greeley In Pennsylvania
Grit


1t is not to die. or even to die Of hun.
ger, that makes man wretched: many
men have died; all men must die.
But 1t is to live miserable we know moi
why; to work sore and yet gain nothing
| to be heat-worn, weary, yet isolated. un-
| related. girt in with cold, universal lais.
seq faire-Thomas Carlyle.
TT IS beginning to be recognized
that the great bulk of the burden
Of poverty Is as unnecessary and
preventable as smallpox or tuber-
culosis. Just as tuberculosis Is O
physical disease, so poverty is dis
ease Of the social organism. 1t Is
probably the greatest burden humanity
staggers under and it exacts directly
and indirectly its toll from all men,
bers of society. Why should there be
hungry mouths when the proper culti-
walton Of even one state of the Union
would furnish sufficient food for our
whole population? Why should mil
lions shiver underclothed every winter
when we are able to furnish textiles
for the whole world? Why should
there be grim periods of unemploy-
ment with vast natural resources yet
untouched? These and similar ques-
tions are beginning to demand an an
swer that must be more than SNUG,
hypocritical shouldering Of the respon-
sibility upon Providence.
Poverty Never Essential.
The conquest of poverty is now an
economic possibility. 1t is definitely
within reach If we are willing to pay
for 1t and formly desire its achieve
ment. The campaign, many of its fea-
lures now in development, is mainly
one of social and economic betterments
for the correction Of social injustice,
for the increase Of the earning power
Of labor and capital, not one but both
as unit Of efficient production; for
the prolongatfon Of human life through
public sanitation and hygiene, together
with preventive medicine in war on
preventable disease; for the salvage
of the deficient and defective classes
Of society, and for the rectification of
underpayment and the prevention of
unemployment, understood as involun-
tary idleness Of competent workmen.
Every factor of human betterment is
doing its part directly or indirectly
in this war upon poverty.
Social Surplus 4 Necessity.
The success Of this battle with pov-
erty is contingent upon the existence
Of social surplus, the basis of all So
cial well-being. That Is, as a nation
we must produce goods or services
much In excess of our immediate needs
Of subsistence. And we are doing that
today upon scale never before known
In the world. It has made US the rich
est nation with wealth estimated at
close to $3.50. 600 100000. 1t
ls An intolerable condition that when
there is enough and more than enough
to feed all that any should hunger,
save. perhaps, the chemically criminal
and the unemployable Of various anti
Docial types.

sugar to one cupful Of juice. II the
pectin is thin and much separated, one
half cupful Of sugar allowed for each
cupful Of juice will be sufficient.
Quantity Of Juice to cook.-The
quantity of juice to be cooked at one
time will depend upon the size of the

available. The capacity of the vessel
used should be four times as great
as the volume Of Juice to be cooked. II

Civilization has kept pace with in.
creased economic production. start
Ing from rude social order wherein
bare and uncertain existence was the
| most that man could wreSt from ma.
| ture, society has attained an incred-
| ible economic productivity by the de-
velopment Of intellectual force and
manual dexterity, by the more efficient
arrangement Of Its own powers, and
most of all by the discovery and utili-
zation of natural energies. The diff
fusion Of comforts, the possibilities Of
luxuries, the rise of arts and letters,
the spread of culture-in a word the
development of civilization is the con-
sequence of increased economic pro-
duction." And Furthermore, we can
place no limit to the future rate Of In
crease In production clearly assign
able.
The history Of the United States
illustrates the working Of this prin-
ciple which has ousted the gloomy,
pess'mistic prophecy of Nautilus. From
1850 to 1900 the population increased
226 per cent, while the production Of
the eight great cereals increased 400
per cent. And what Is true of our agri-
cultural products Is also true even to
greater extent of iron and steel, tex
tiles and other manufactures. Our per
capita wealth In 1850 was $3O7. 1t is
now supposed to be about S1.SOO or
$1,000.
Workers Condition Bettered.
Together with this great increase in
national production and wealth, With
the creation of a great unprecedented
social surplus, has gone wonderful
betterment in the condition of the
working classes. Wages have risen.
expenditures have increased for non
physical satisfaction; the deposits in
savings banks have augmented: the
per capita consumption of wheat
sugar and meat have grown; the death
rate has declined, and, taken alto.
gether, there has n steady and
unprecedented Improvement In the
condition of the workers.
But the creation of this huge social
surplus has not removed the challenge
of want; 1t has not destroyed the
menace of poverty. 1t has only made
a solution Of bitter problem posi-.
Bile. While there is no doubt that the
intensity of poverty Is less today than
In the past, even in this country, yet
the challenge Of poverty and it's con.
sequent misery still stands wolfike at
our threshold. In the words of Profes.
sor Hollander: "The root of the
problem lies deeper. Poverty, like Ger.
tain of its primary causes, is phase
of modern industry. The very forces
which increase the national product
and enlarge the social surplus, If left
to themselves, breed conditions Of
want. Far from diminishing
with increased wealth production, the
misery resulting from such causes is.
In the face Of social inaction, likely to
augment and intensity. Society may
grow richer, civilization may advance,
and vet poverty continue to gnaw can
cer-like at its vitals."
Our enormous national wealth with
its unprecedented social surplus, our
vast natural resources which we are
conserving in time, our national ideals
and aspirations for social, ptlitical and
industrial Justice, are the factors
which, sooner or later, may give US the
unique distinction Of being the worlds
nrst nation to abolish poverty.

EVERYBODY WANTS SUM-
DAY TO GO TO FRANCE

Atlanta, Ga, December l1.-Billy
Sunday will soon be preaching to our
American soldiers in tn training
camps behind the lines in France, if
requests for him to serve the country
in this capacity continue to pour in
on him.
The famous evangelist has just stat
ed in the course of sermon that ev-
cry mail brings letters urging him to
go to France and preach the gospel
among American soldiers in the final
preparation behind the lines, and that
he has almost made up his mind to
cancel all his engagements and go
across.
Although he did not mention this
fact in the course of his remarks, it is
believed that the enlistment of his
son, George Sunday for immediate
service in France, has good deal to
do with his desire to go over. In ad-
dition to the attachment for his son,
the evangelist is deeply interested in
the soldiers of freedom who wear the
khaki of Uncle Sam. He has repeat
edly stated in his sermons her that
the soldier boys are entwined in his
heart strings closer than anybody else.
Hundreds of soldiers from Camp
Gordon have heard him preach. A
large section of the Tabernacle is al
ways reserved for them, and they are
given special invitation at every
meeting to take their stand on the
side of religion.
If Mr.. Sunday should decide to go
to France it would probably cancel his
engagement in Washington, D. c.,
where he is scheduled to launch a
campaign few days after closing
here.
