THOUGH so many of our fruits

are indigenous to this conti-
nent, the guava among them. In
Florida it is cultivated in gardens,
and found in a semi-naturalized con-
dition, and while sometimes eaten as
fruit, is more highly valued as a
jelly. L. Bradford Clarke, 1920
Chestnut Street has received the
1918 pack of rich Guava jelly made
in st. Augustine, from the finest ripe
fruits, and put Np in small cylindric
glass jars with wide openings, easy
of access, or easy to turn out whole
as a mold. 1t is as delicious as ever,
served alone o. with cream cheese,
and Clarke is lucky in still being
supplied by his habtual prcserver,
who, with characteristic Latin corr
diality, signs his business letters to
him: "Your seventy-siX-year-old
friend, f. B. Vcronee."
THE word "regulation" is one
with which we are on intimate
a terms. 1t is applied to some
thing new each time we hear il, but
when used in reference TO uniforms
for men in Uncle Sans service it
means but two things: what t. make
and how to make it. Jacob Reeds
Sons. 1926 Chestnut Street, the
oldest military Quitting house in
America, have military department
where Regulation Uniforms are de-
signed and made by expert military
designers and tailors, whose training
has been entirely along these lines.
As a result the Reeds Uniforms are
absolutely authentic in their adher-
encc to Government requirements,
and have distinctly military effect,
something impossible Of realization
by civilian tailors who have tenn
porarily taken up this line of work.

astonishing achievements in glass-
ware. Anything can be baked in the
dishes with absolute certainty of
their never breaking, and they are
lleady for immediate use on the table.
They save about half the fuel
usually required: they save foods by
retaining all their flavor. as less ex-
pensive kinds may be bought; and
they save labor.
