Out in Libertyville everybody
knows everybody, else, and, as is
usual in small communities, tele-
phone users are inclined to make
calls by name rather than number.
This story has just come to light:
Samuel insult has a country home
on the edge Of Libertyville. A broth
er of his was out there one day. The
brother picked up a phone receiver
and said: Gimme Sam Insults house
-ah, number sixty"
The operator plugged in on so, and
asked: 'Is this Sam Insults homer"
A woman's vOice-it was Mrs.
Samuel Insull-repIed Indignantly:
mo, it is not Sam Insults home. It
is Mr.. Samuel Insults"
BEG pardon" said the operator.
She withdrew the plug, opened an
other key and spoke again to Insults
brother:

said. HE doesn't live at that num-

acid it is not advisable to use any
flavor.
Juicy fruits, such as currants,
raspberries, ETC., should not be
gathered after a rain, for they will
have absorbed 80 much water as to
make it difficult, without excessive
boiling, to get the juice to jelly.
II berries are sandy or dusty it
will be necessary to wash them.
but the work should be done very
quickly SO that the fruit may not
absorb much water. y
Large fruits, such as apples.
peaches and pears, must be boiled
in water until soft. The strained
liquid will contain the havoring
matter and pectin.
It requires more work and skill
to make jellies from the fruits to
which water must be added than
from the juicy fruits. II the juicy
fruits are gathered at the proper
time one may be nearly sure that
they contain the right proportion
of water II gathered after a~rain
the fruit must be boiled little
longer that the superfiuous water
may pass off In steam.
In the case of the large fruits q
fair estimate is three quarts OF
strained juice from eight quarts of
fruits and about four quarts OF
water. If the quantity of Juice is
greater than this It should be boiled
down to three quarts.
Apples will always yequire four
quarts Of water to eight quarts Of

will require only three or three and

unripe fruit. As the fruit ripens the
pectase acts upon the pectose,
which is insoluble in water, convert
ing it into pectin, which is soluble.
Pectin is at it's best when tie fruit
is just ripe or a little before. If
the Juice ferments, or the cooking
Of the jelly is continued too long,
the pectin undergoes a change and
loses its power of gelatinizing. It
is, therefore, Of the greatest impor-
tance that the fruit should be fresh,
just ripe or little under-ripe, and
that the boiling of the sugar and
Juice should not be continued too
long.
Fruits vary as to the quantities of
sugar, acid, pectin and gums in
their composition. Some OF the
sour fruits contain more sugar than
do some Of the milder-fiavored
fruits. Currants. for example, often
contain four or I'VE times as much
sugar as the peach. The peach
does not contain so much free acid
and It does contain a great deal of
peotin bodies, which mask the acid;
hence the comparative sweetness
of the ripe fruit.
An acid fruit Is the most suitable
for Jelly making, though in some OF
the acid fruits, the strawberry, for
example, the quantity of the jelly
making pectin is so small that 1t is
difficult to make Jelly with this
fruit. II, however. some currant
Juice be added to the strawberry

result: yet. Of course, the flavor Of
the strawberry will be modified.

mold spores and evaporation and
kept In dark. dry place. The fol-
lowing methods of covering jellies
are all good:
Have discs OF thick, white paper,
the size of the top Of the glass.
When the jelly is set, brush the top
over with brandy or alcohol. Dip
disc of paper in the spirits and
put it on the jelly If the glasses
have covers, put them on. If there
are no covers, cut discs of paper
about half ar inch in diameter
larger than the top of the glass.
Beat together the white of one egg
and a tablespoonful of cold water.
Vet the paper covers with this mix
ture and put over the glass, press
ing down the sides we'll to make
them stick, to the glass; or the
covers may be dipped in olive oil
and be tied on the glasses, but they
must be cut a little larger than
when the white Of egg is used.
A thick coating Of paraffin makes
a good cover but not quite SO safe
as the paper dipped in brandy or
alcohol, because the spirits destroy
any mold spores that may happen
to rest on the jelly. If such spores
are covered with the paraffin they
may develop under 1t. However,
the paper wet with spirits could be
put on first and the paraffin poured
over It.
If paraffin is used, break 1t into,
pieces and put in cup. Set ~.
cum in pan of warm water on the
back Of the steve. In few
moments 1t will be melted enough
to cover the Jelly. Have the coat
ing about fourth OF an inch thick.
In cooling the paraffin contracts,
and II the layer is very thin 1t will
crack and leave portion Of the
jelly exposed.

Juice first through cheese cloth and
without pressure. If the cloth is
double the juice will be quite clear.
When a very clear jelly is desired
the strained juice should pass
through flannel or felt bag. The
juice may be pressed from the fruit
left in the strainer and used in
marmalade or for a second-quality
jelly.
To make jelly that will not crys-
tallize candy the right proportion
of sugar must be added to the fruit
juice. If the fruit contains a high
percentage of sugar. the quantity
of added sugar should be little
less than the quantity of fruit juice.
That is to say, in season when
there has been great deal of heat
and sunshine there will be more
sugar in the fruit than in a cold,
wet season; consequently, one pint
of currant juice will require but
three-quarters of paint of sugar.
But in cold, wet season. the pint
of sugar for the pint of juice must
be measured generously.
Another cause Of the Jelly crystal
LIKING is hard boiling. When the
sprup boils 80 rapidly that particles
of 1t are thrown on the upper part
Of the sides of the preserving ket-
tie, they often form crystals. II
these crystals are stirred into the
syrup they are apt to cause the
mass to crystalline In time.
The use of the syrup gauge and
care not to boil the syrup too vio-
lently would do away with all un-
certainty in jelly-making. The
syrup gauge should register twenty
Ave degrees. no matter what kind
of fruit is used.
Jellies are so rich in sugar that
they are protected from bacteria
and yeasts, but they must be COW
