Way to Save Surplus Products For Use
in Beverages, Flavoring and Preserves.
Homemade fruit juices take no sugar
and may be used during the winter
months in a variety of ways. according
to specialists of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture. One impor-
tant use for fruit juices is in the max
ing of jellies at a time of year when
sugar or its substitutes may be more
plentiful and when it is more con-
venient to do the work. In this way
freshly-made jellies may be available
all thru the winter.
Fruit juice may be pressed out Of
fruit by means of cider press, special
fruit press, or other improvised presses:
then heated in an acid-proof kettle up
to 40 degrees F.. The fruit Juice may
then be poured into ordinary hot jars,
hot bottles. or tin cans. and handled by
the same directions as those for can
ming of fruit itself. If poured into mis-
cellaneous bottles. it is suggested that
the fruit juice be sterilized as follows:
Make a cotton stopper and press into
the neck of the bottle and leave during
the sterilization period. Set bottles In
boiling hot water up to the neck Of the
bottle, sterilize the fruit Juice for forty
minutes at temperature Of 165 de-
grees F. Remove the product. press
cork in top over cotton stopper i'm
mediately. II the cork fits we'll. no
parafln need be used. If poor cork,
it may be necessary to dip the cork In
melted solution Of wax or paraffin.
Fruit juices and apple cider when han
died in this way will not "hatten in
taste" and will keep fresh for future
use.

where werper lay preparing to fire a
second shot.
The Arab, who had gone down with
his mount, was standing astride him,
and, seeing the Belgian's strategic
position behind his fallen horse, lost
no time in taking up similar one be-
hind his own.
And there the two lay, alternately
firing at. and cursing one another,
while from behind the Arab Tarzan of
the Apes approached to the edge of
the forest. Here he heard the oc-
casional shots of the duelists, and
choosing the safer and swifter avenue
of the forest branches to the uncertain
transportation afforded by a half
broken Abyssinian pony, took to the
trees.
Keeping to one side of the trail, the
ape.man came presently to a point
where he could look down in compare
tive safety upon the fighters. First
one and then the other would partially
raise himself above his breastwork Of
horsefesh, fire his weapon, and imme-
diately drop fiat behind his shelter,
where he would reload and repeat the
act a moment later.
Werper had but little ammunition,
having been hastily armed by Abdul
Mourak from the body Of one of the
first of the Abyssinians who had fallen
in the fight about the pile OF ingots,
and now he realized that soon he
would have used his last bullet, ana
be at the mercy of the Arab-a mercy
with which he was well acquainted.
Facing both death and despollment
of his treasure, the Belgian cast about
for some plan of escape, and the only
one that appealed to him as containing
even a remote possibility Of success
hinged upon the chance of bribing
Achmet Eek.

Business Career of Peter Flint
Story of Saesmanship by Harold Whitehead

Francis is the original joy killer, for

and expecting him to laugh, but he
didn't; instead he shook his head and
said
That's too bad, Peter, l fear the

forcefulness of the idea. You see, any

would you read with the most pleasure?''

The Arab was crazed by rage. Re
Gently everything had gone against

turned his horses head and dashed
madly away in an effort to escape.
Shouting to lieutenant to take com

death to dispatch the Abyssinians and
bring the gold back to his camp,
Achmet Eek set off across the plain
in pursuit OF the Belgian, his wicked
nature unable to forgo the pleasures
of revenge, even at the risk of sacri-
ficing the treasure.
