Ringing Speech for Patriot

Buffalo. N. y, Nov. l9.-Union labor
today put it's stamp of approVai on Tue
attitude Of Samuel Gompers, president
Of tho American Federation of Labor
in working hand in hand with Presl-
dent Wilson and placing the needs or
the nation above all other considerl-
,ions in question involving the work
ingman's part in vigorous prosech-
tion Of the war against Germany.
The vote of confidence came after
more than three hours of debate ~
which the pacifist element was given
ample opportunity to express itself.
out OF a total OF 450 delegates. only 10
were recorded in opposition. The
garment workers Of New York, under
the leadership of Rose Shapiro. was

ord on the roll call.
Condemns Pacifists.
The supporters Of the resolution did
not mince words in condcmninE the
attitude of the pacifists.
President Gompers closed the debate
in q ringing speech in defense OF the
alliance and his own position.
He went into the history OF the Peo-
ple's Council, which. he said, was an
outgrowth Of the Socialists. lie took
full responsibility for the calling OF
the Minneapolis meeting of the al.
lance.
",rhe situation demanded" he said
s'that there should be q clcar-cut dis
tinction between what these people
represented and what the trades
unions stood for. The fact is that the
Socialists since the Detroit convention
when they failed to break in. have
made war upon the American FEEDER
ation of Labor. They sought to dis
credit it. They started the western
labor union, the American labor unioi
and they started the i. w. W.. ant
finally they started the SOC called Peo
ple's Council. In the one instance j
was rivalry to the American Fedora
ton of Labor and in the hst it wa'
hostility to the republic of the Unite'
States.

JELLIEs FROM PEcTIN.

Pectin, the essential jelly-making
substance, may be extracted from
fruits rich in 1t, and this concentrated
product used with the juices of fruits
deficient in pectin, for the making of
excellent jellies.
Apple Pectin.-One pound apple
pulp Cor skins and cores), juice of
one lemon, four pounds water. Boil
for half to three-quarters hour, press
the juice through a cloth bag, then al
low this juice to drain without pres
sure through heavy flannel or hair
cloth jelly Sag. This juice when cold
should be tested with alcohol to deter
mine the proportion of sugar to add to
volume of juice. Pectin can be bot
tied, processed for Is minutes in wa
ter bath at boiling, and kept until
needed for Jelly making.
Orange Pectin.-Cut or scrape the
yellow rind from the peel of the or
ange, The white portion remaining be-
ing passed through the food chopper
and weighed. For each pound of this
prepared peel add two pounds of wa
ter and four tablespoonfuls of lemon
stand 15 minutes. Then add two
pounds water, boil ten minutes, let
stand overnight. Next morning boil
ten minutes, allow to cool, press to re-
move juice and then drain juice
through a flannel bag. If not desired
for immediate use, bottle and process
as for apple pectin.
Mint and Orange Cor Apple) Pectln
JelIy.-One pint concentrated orange
Cor apple) pectin juice. one pound
sugar, two drops oil of peppermint.
two drops green vegetable coloring.
Bring the orange or apple pectin juice
to boiling, add sugar, and boil rapidly
until the jellying point is reached. At
this point two drops of green vegeta-
BILE coloring matter is added, together
with two drops of oil of peppermint.
Stir thoroughly, and pour while hot
into clean, sterilized jelly glasses.
Strawberry and Orange (or AppIe)

given for the inversion of the sugar by
the acids of the fruit ana there is less
danger Of capitalization.
Cooking the Jeiiy.-After the sugar
has dissolved, the cooking should be as
rapid as possible. Finished jelly can
be obtained more quickly by rapid
cooking. Long cooking will tend to
darken the product and destroy the
pectin. which will cause the finished
jelly to be less firm.
Since no definite temperature can be
given for the finished jelly, the most
convenient means of determining when
1t is finished Is to test 1t with spoon
or paddle. Dip spoon or wooden
paddle in the boiling mass. Remove
and cool by moving IL back and forth
for few seconds and then allow the
Jelly to drop from II. AS long as there
is sirup present 1t viii 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. Swimming
at this point saves waste.
Filling Slasses.-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. a better seal can
be obtairad
Storing.-Jelly should be stored In
cool, dark, dry place. If jelly is stored
for long period of time, 1t 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 Jei!y.-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 c~>>tinued 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 n sufficient length of
| time, 1t is changed into form which
does not crysS2llize. Crystals are found
in jelly sometimes because the Juice
is boiled to too great 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
ished 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 Off the juice or to not
having used sufficient care in strain
ing the juice. Sometimes it is noticed
in apple and crabapple jelly that al
though it is clear when first made, the
jelly becomes cloudy after n 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.

A good jelly should be bright, of good

Ing.
Fruit for Jelly Making.-The juice
from certain fruits, such as grape,
apple, crabapple. orange, kumquat 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 1elly-making
substance, does not exist In some fruits
In sufficient amount to make jelly with
out 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, guava and ounce con-
tain pectin but are deficient in acid.
II the missing property be added to
each of these fruits, a jelly with the
color and flavor of the fruit selected
can be made.
Extracting the Juice.-Wash such
fruit as berries, grapes and currants
In running water and add one cupful
of water for each pound of fruit. For
apples, ounces, guavas and such hard
fruits, wash, slice and add three cup
fuls water to each pound of fruit. The
fruit should be cooked until tender,
small quantity of water being added
to help extract the juice. The fruit
juice will flow more freely when heat
ed than when cold, and the cooking
develops the pectin. AS soon as the
fruit is tender the liquid should be
squeezed through a cheesecloth and
then be allowed to drip, without pres
sure through flannel jelly bag Qllus-
trated). Overlooking of the fruit is apt
to result in a cloudy jelly. After cool
ing the juice to room temperature test
1t to determine the amount of pectin
present. This test gives some idea of
the proper proportion of sugar to juice.
Add one tablespoonful 95 per cent
grain alcohol to an equal volume of
cooled fruit juice and shake gently.
The effect of the alcohol is to bring
together the pectln in jellylike mass.
If large quantity of pectin is present
1T will appear in one mass or clot when
poured from the glass. This indicates
that 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

producing power. 1t inevitably follows
that the short-hour workers are the
best paid workers. With every reduc-
ton in hours there Is always q corre-
spending increase in wages. Wherever
demands for the shorter workday and
higher wages have been presented and
urged by organized workers during the
last year they have met with success.
Shortening the period of work
lengthens the period of development,
and for all of the other activities that
belong to the normal individual. In
creases in wages give the workers the
means for taking advantage of the In
creased opportunities of the shorter
workday. The workers of short hours
and better wages become very differ
ent citizens from those who are so ex-
hausted by the daily grind that they
have neither the time nor the energy
for thought or aspiration. These gains
mean better homes, better food, better
tlothing; time and opportunity for
the cultivation of the best and the
aighest that is possible to man.

proportion is three-fourths cupful of
sugar to one cupful of juice. If 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
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 large
quantity of juice at one time over
slow flame. there will be loss of color
and a decrease in the yield, partly due
to the destruction of the pectin.
When to Add Sugar.-When the pro-
portion of sugar to juice has been de
termined, measure the fruit juice and
place over the fire to cook When the
Juice begins to boil, add the sugar i'm
mediately and stir until the sugar is
