ALBANIA'S SAVIOR
NEW YORK VISITOR

NEW YORK, July I7.-One of tho
most interesting officers III the Ital-
ian army. though one whose work is
little known in America. has just
visited in America, has just visited
this city. He Is General Emilio Gug-
l!elmotti. the man who did for Al
bania all that the American govern
ment has done for Cuba and the
Philippines. When the italian forces
occupied that country less than three
years ago they found a simple. flllt-
crate people, a large part Of them
rcmadic. without settled government.
There were no roads. telegraphs tele-
phones, schools or hospitals in the
country. The mountainous interior
was totally Isolated The coast was
swampy and infested with disease.
Under the direction of General Gug-
lielmotti the swamps have been
drained, and good drinking water
piped down from the mountains 10
the towns. Three railroads and
splendid wagon reads, telegraphs aud
telephones connect all parts Of the
occupied territory. schools and hos
pitals have been built in every COM
munity. As result the Alhanians
are prosperous and contented. They
pay their taxes regularly They have
even come across the line from the
zone of Austrian occupation. bring
ing tax-moRey TO the Italian officials,
begging them to accept it and use II
in making the same improvements
for them that their ncighbors enjoy.l

Amonnt Of sngnr 70 use.

The consistency OF jelly prepared
from fruits having sufficient pectin
and acid is dependent upon the am
cunt of sugar used. Too little sugar

ume of jelly, but 1t is soft and win
not stand alone" Jelly which is
tender and yet holds its form when
taken from the glass is what is de-
sired. and this win be obtained By
carefully adjusting the amount nf sr.

rule, give best results If equal meas

the juice is more water a smaller am
cunt of sugar is required-three-

The boiling time varies with differ
ent juices and is dependent upon sew
eral factors. The greater the proper
tion of sugar to juice. the shorter
time Is required; a thin juice requires
telling point" etc. In brief, from
eight to thirty minutes should be suffi-
cient. In no case should simmering

1t is the common feeling among
housewives that luck has more to
do with jelly making than with al
fcst anything else. But there are
few fundamental principles underly-
ing the process of jelly making which
IL well understood and followed. Will
fmake 1t one of relative certainty rath-
er than of "Iuck.ri
Good jelly is dependent upon the
proper combination, of pectin. acid
sugar, and flavoring substances. OF
these the fruit furnishes all but the
sugar, and even this may be supplied
Partially, as for instance, in certain
varieties of grapes. Pectin is the
4 substance contained In the pulp and
skins of certain fruits which causes
the iellying of the product made from
them, and is obtained by cooking 1t
out OF the fruit. The raw juice press
| cd from the fruit does not contain 1t
in large amounts, ordinarily. The
acid is of course, the substance
which makes the fruit sour or tart.
and is contained in both the raw and
the cooked-out Juice. Certain fruits,
as currants crabapples, underrfpe
grapes. sour apples raspberries. and
green gooseberrles contain both ee-
tin and acid in sufficient quantities,
ordinarily. for the making OF good
jelly. Others, such as pears, ounces.
and sweet apples, contain sufficient
pectin but not enough acid and still
others, as strawberries and cherries,
have acid enough but not sufficient
pectin.
Jelly may be made from those
which lack pectin. however. by add
/ ing the cooked out juice from pectin-
containing fruits. Likewise. fruits
having sufficient pectin but not
enough acid may be used for jelly
making by adding the Juice of some
sour fruit, such as lemons or sour
apples.
Since the housewife does not have
az hand. ordinarily, the means of
testing the amount of acid in a par
ticular juice by accurate methods.
she must rely upon taste. AS good
a rule as can be given is that the Juice
from which jelly is made should be
as tart as a good sour apple.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1918-07-17

Experiments indicate that the best
time to add the sugar TO the juice Ia
when the boiling process Is approxi-
mately half done. The sugar should
be hot when put into the boiling Juice
in order that the latter may not be
cooled too much, and a good way TO
heat the sugar is to spread it on
plate or pan and heat in the oven with
the door open, being careful that IL
Is not allowed to scorch. Skim the
juice before-hdding the sugar.

President Wilson is expected to ar

1t Is likely. before any meeting Of
the allied delegates. he will be shown
some Of the devastated districts on
the western front. 1t will certainly
not be before the middle or the end OF
December that he will meet his fellow
delegates. December 16 Is mentioned
as the probable time for the first meet
ing, but December 90 is the more
likely date to be agreed upon.
The peace conference proper prob
ably will meet in March or April. 1t
is possible now to give a general out
line OF the probable course of the
peace negotiations. although naturally
at this early stage, no definite pro-
gram has been established. The prob
lens are too vast for any immediate
peace to be fixed without the greatest
danger to future peace and, even with
the cost Of maintaining some armies
in the field. 1t is we'll not to hope for
q final settlement for many months.
