EetIshes Of Rlksha PuIIers.

Although the diffusion of education
among the Zulus and other natives Of
Natal is removing many fetish customs
from their social life, some practices
are held tenaclously by the children
Of bigoted natives. At one curlo es-
adjustment in Durham, Natal, 1t is said
that on rare occasions natives ask
for Jokelosl mutt" or magic medi-
cine made from the flesh of native
children. This mutt (Which, 1t Is be-
lieved, was once used by the warriors
of Tshaka and Dlngaan), Is supposed
to convey the virtues Of youth and
strength. 1t is occasionally asked for
in Natal by rlcksha boys. The rick
sha pullers have a firm faith in the fat
of lions, tigers, crocodiles and hip.

Olive. GROWING Cantera.

OF all the ollve-growlng lands Spain
is the most important In the total
yield OF oil, and is by nature one Of
those best fitted to fill Its own large
demands and furnish an increasing
supply for export. Italy, the second
ollve-oll producing country in Europe,
has an area planted In olives about a
third greater than Spain has, but it's
yield In normal years Is smaller. The
French area under cultivation Is CON
fined to the Mediterranean coast, and
is reported to be decreasing, since
greater profits are obtained from viii
culture. 1t Is asserted that in recent
years 10000 hectares Of olive groves
have been turned into vineyards I'm

clared to offer better prospects for
olive raising than does French terri
tory in Europe.

Sally really didn't want to quarrel dur

gagged, but Jack was so pigheaded when
once he got an Idea In his mindI

even the very best one in the world
put 1t all over him when 1t came to q
question Of carrying thing through.
He mentally registered a resolution to
worry every real estate agent in
Wrentham until in sheer desperation
one handed over the keys Of a desir-
able place.
Sally herself barely saw Jack aboard
his car to wave him last farewell be
fore she set forth on regular house
hunt with succeed-or-perish express
sion on her pretty face.
1t was quite sadly true that houses
to rent in Wrentham were decidedly at
a premium. Sally and Jack had been
searching for weeks now, the very date
of their wedding hanging fire until a
home was secured into WHICH to go on
their return from their honeymoon.

No wonder that both had become
slightly rasped by the situation and a
bit inclined to take 1t out on each
other.
Sally, swinging along, let her
thoughts wander to the Joy 1t would
be actually to find place and to be
able to plan for the occupancy. In her
minds eye she saw herself measuring
for curtains and rugs or appraislng
bare rooms with a view to the pur-
chase of furniture most suited to fill
their emptiness.
Lost In this pleasant meditation
Sally noticed a suburban car slowing
up to let OFF passenger. On the spur
Of the moment she stepped aboard.
Thinking that she would go on to Hill
view Terrace Sally sat Idly looking out
on the green fields and occasional
pretty shingled cottages she was pass
ing.
Suddenly she started. There was
some sort Of sign or other on a house
she had just gone by. She jumped up
and signaled to the conductor. When
the car finally stopped It had carried
her some distance beyond, and as she
walked back she reflected cynlcally
that It was probably just her luck to
have the sign say "For Sale" instead
of "FOr Rent"
However, before she could read the
sign she was able to see that the cot
tage was a perfect darling" Small
enough for two people to start in, 1t
yet had an air Of individuality and
charm all its own. Gray shlngled and

A few young trees set out promised

Of lawn was compensated for In back
by a spacious garden plot.
Breaking rudely into these slightly
premature dreams, the sign thrust
itself upon Sally's view. Tackled to the
veranda railing "Fresh Paint" 1t read.

the house almost vindlctively, she hes
itated.
Sally, in despair, broke forth: 'T
don't suppose you could tell me Of any
place around here for rent2"
why, that's funny" said the other
slowly; I'VE decided last night to rent
this place. We had been fixing 1t up

MAKING GRAPE JELLY
FROM WASTE PRODUCT
Experiments Show Pomace to
Be Quite Satisfactory.
Outside Of Sugar, Expense for Mate
rials Is Very SmaII-Drying Does
Not Prevent JelIification-
Full Instructions.

Jelly made from grape pomace is
a new product of the grape-juice in
dustry. Pomace consists of the skins,
pulp and seeds left in the presses aft
er the grapes are crushed for grape
juice and has been heretofore almost
entirely a waste product. The United
States department of agriculture, with
the cooperation of a large producer
of grape Juice in the state of New
York, has completed experiments
showing that jelly can be made from
pomace with very little expense for
materials except sugar. The presses,
cooking kettles and other food-pack-
ing machinery required are already In
most of the plants.
The price Of grape Jelly as now
produced is about twice that of apple
Jelly. If the waste were utilized, jelly
could probably be produced at about
the same cost as from apples. Enough
grape pomace is produced in New
York and Michigan each year to make
more than 20,OOO.000 eight-ounce
glasses of jelly. 1t is estimated.
The method of making this jelly
does not differ much from ordinary
packing-house procedure. 1t consists
in boiling the pomace with water for
about Is minutes, pressing, adjusting
the acidity by the addition of tartaric
acid standardizing the juice by con-
centrating It to the required volume,
adding certain quantities OF sugar ana
concentrating to 222-223 degrees h.
The jelly has strong grape flavor
and looks very much like the product
from whole fresh grapes.
In commercial application of the
method, it is suggested that the wet
pomsce be freed from moisture In
rotary driers and placed in bags for
winter use Drying does not seem to
impair the jellification qualities, and
II preserves the product for working
M in winter when the burden OF the
crane Juice pressing season is over.
This would result in keeping the ma
chinery at work during greater part
of the year and distributing the over
head costs.
Under these conditions it will be
profitable, also, to separate the SEED
and market it for its oil value. Un-
der old methods. the operating ana
assembling charges were too great FOR
the comparatively small amounts OF
seed produced, but by using the
pomace for jelly, large part of the
handling cost is removed from the
grape seed charges. The Oil content
of grape seed is comparatively small
and 1t should be recovered by solvent
extraction rather than by pressing or
expelling The product is very light
.olored, palatable oil and suitable to
all purposes for which table oils are
used.
Jelly made from grape pomace
should not be labeled "Grape jelly
The label should painly indicate the
brigin and should show the percent
lge of added tartaric acid.

One of the things which the home

Sugar is useful and valuable food.
1t must, however, be remembered that
1t is concentrated food, and there
fore should be eaten in moderate guam

foods, sugar seems best fitted for as

with other materials which dilute 1t
or give it the necessary bulk.
Persons of active habits and good
digestion will add sugar to their food
almost at pleasure without inconven-

is FORM OF CONJUNCTIVITIS
In All Cases Of Pink Eye II Is I'M
portant to Consult Some Good
Doctor at Once.
cBy U. S. Public Health service)

(By U. S. Public Health Service.)
Pink eye is an acute contagious In
flammation of the membrane lining
the eye ball and eye lids. In other
words it is a form of conjunctivitis.
1t begins with a slight itching of
the eye. On the morning of the sec
ond day the margins of the lids are
stuck together by a yellowish gray
secretion There is a burning sensa-
tion in the lids, but interference with
vision is slight. Toward evening the
discharge increases and the discom-
fort is more marked. The height of
the disease is usually reached on the
third or fourth day. If simple cleanli-
ness is observed the disease usually
runs it's course in two or three weeks,
but 1t may last for six months If no
treatment is employed.
In all cases of pink eye 1t is i'm
portant to consult a good doctor at
once for some forms of conjunctivitis,
mistaken for simple pink eye" are
really highly dangerous and may lead
to blindness. In all cases of pink
eye" or other forms of cOnjunctivitis
care should be taken not to allow the
discharge to get on towels, napkins or
other articles which might be the
means of transferring the disease to
others. ScrupulOus cleanliness is Of
the utmost Importance. Eye drops or
eye washes should not be used unless
prescribed by q physician.
