From this brief description it will
be realized that this house is one
that will appeal TO the head of a large
family who wants to build a home
to house them comfortably and at the
same time has not a large amount
OF money TO invest. The rooms are
many but are arranged SO that the
work of caring for the home can he
done with the smallest expenditure
OF energy. Every convenience and
comfort are provided for.
Such home as this in these DAVIS
of high rentals would be held at such
a figure that 1t truly Is "cheaper TO
buiid than pay rent" The first
thought of the architect who designed
this home was to give the home owner
the maximum amount of space. and a
comfortable and handsome home At
the least possible cost.

SiRUPS SAVE. SUGAR
IN MAKING JELLIES
Directions Given by Department
of Agriculture Experts.
When Fruit Is Cheap and Sugar Ex-
pensiVe JeIIies May Be Made to
Advantage With One Half Usual
Amountsof Sweetening.

| To obtain the largest possible
amount of jelly from fruit with the
use of the smallest possible amount of
sugar, follow the directions given be-
low by United States department of
agriculture specialists:
If a good jelly-making fruit, such as
ounce, green grapes, tart and partly
ripe apples, Siberian crabs, or cram
berries, is being used. make a second
extraction from the fruit. That is. take
the pulp from the jelly bag. add one
cupfui of water TO each pound of pulp
COOK 20 minutes, and drip a second
time, using some pressure at the last.
standardization jeIIies are likely to no
somewhat different in flavor from the
frst. and 1t is an excellent plan TO com.
Dine the two jellies before sweetening.
when fruit is cheap and sugar eX-
pensive, jellies may be made to advan-
tage with One-half as much Sweetening
as usual, that is, with one-haTf cupfuI
of sugar to one cupfuI of juice. The
yield of jelly viii be less. for one CUP
fut of a good juice plus one cupful of
sugar should make between one and
one and One-haif cupfuis of Jelly,
whereas One-half cupful of sugar plus
one cupful of juice makes between one
half cupfui and three-fOurtIs cupful Of
jelly.
One-half of the sweetening may he
glucose strip. light-colOred corn sirup,
honey or sorghum strip. If the other
half is graduated sugar, there will he
little noticeable difference in sweetness
In most cases. Grape with glucose or
corn sirup will make a good jelly even
when no sugar is used.

rooms at that end of the house.
The steep pitch of the roof provides
a large and airy attic, wherein if tie
sired a couple of more bedrooms can
be partitioned off, or the space used
for storage. The height of the roof
also will tend to keep the house cooler
in summer and warmer in winter.
The basement extends under the
whole house, with the exception of
the sun parlor. 1t is reached by stairs
leading out of the kitchen and, as
the whole building is 40 by 70 feet,
