Many woman hesitates to try putting
up fruit at home.
She fears she will only waste expensive

affinity for the fruit juices. 1t blends the
sugar with the juice brings out the rich
''fruity" flavor, and insures firm jams and
jellies that never candy in the glass.

SOME POLICEMEN MAY

BOSTON, Sept Il UNITED Press).-
Although voting on the question OF a
general strike in sympathy with the
striking policemen was continuing to-
day, It was believed in many quarters
that action Of city flremen in refusing
to join the movement may influence
abandonment OF the plan.
More than $500 telephone operators
voted on the strike ballot last night.
Although the result could not be learn
ed it was reported they voted strongly
in favor OF a strike If other unions de-
side to walkout
There was much speculation today
upon a change in a police department
rule, made by Commissioner Curtis last
night.~ The words suspension for a
period not exceeding 30 days" was in
serted in a rule which provides that a
member OF the force convicted OF vi0-
lation OF the regulations may be pun
ished by discharge, reprimand in gen.
eral orders, reduction in rank or impO-
sition OF punishment
The amendment was inserted after
the discharge"
Il was suggested that the amendment
may have direct bearing on the pres
ent situation and under certain circum-
stances might provide a loophole
whereby some OF the striking police
could return TO the force.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Sept. II United
Press President Wilson intends = TO
place the United states under sub
stantially a new form Of government
through the league OF nations, Senator
Hirman Johnson declared here last
night.
An audience Of 5000 cheered his de
nunclations OF what he termed Great

speech in order TO catch a 10 o'clock
train for Lincoln. where he speaks to-
might. ksser the Lincoln speech he will
again take up President Wilson's trial
at st. Paul.
"When Mr.. Wilson started his speak

going 10 make a report 10 them said
johnson. but instead OF facts they
have had nothing but gllttering gen
eralties"
The Senator declared that "Nfr. Will

Referring TO the charges OF pro-Ger-
manism by Wilson against those who
oppose the treaty. Johnson said:
1T Is a bad and lost cause, which in
its extremity resorts TO epithets and
vituperati0n and the choice is not be-
tween the league OF nations and Ger
