is known as the first extraction, is

Mix together in glass one
teaspoonful Of grain or denatured al

fruit juice. If the juice Is rich in
pectin II will turn to a soft jelly,
while If only a little is present few
small flaky pieces of sediment will
form. In the latter case the juice
should be combined with one that is
rich in pectin, such as apple juice.
The first extraction should be cook
ed eparately, since 1t yields a SUI

may be combined
Probably more jelly is spoiled by
blindly following the old rule Of a

LITTLE HELPS.
To Remove Mud.

10 Remove Mud.
Mud may be removed from mems
work clothes by rubbing it with a
corn cob and shaking well.-M. j., Ind.
TO Protect the Hands.
Keep several pairs of white cotton
gloves in the kitchen to protect the
hands when hanging the clothes on
the line in cold weather or when do
ing other work that would injure
the hands.-C. H.. Ill.
In Making Starch.
When making starch add a teaspoon
of salt Just before it is done. 1t adds
a gloss to the clothes and makes them
easier to iron.-Cecile, III.
Measure shortening First.
When measuring shortening and mo-
lasses for gingerbread, etc, measure
the shortening first. This will grease
the cup and none of the molasses will
be wasted.-Cecile. ILL.
Cheese for Soup,
Save the bits of cheese that are
left ever, CRATE, and put away in a
covered dish. When making soup add
the cheese If the soup stock is not as
rich as desired.-Cecile. III.
To Keep Inside OF Tea Kettle Clean
Place a clean oyster shell in the
tea kettle. This will attract to itself
the particles of earth which would
otherwise speedily cover the inside of
the Kettle with an unpleasant crust.

BUSINESS MEMS DAY In
CHURCHES.

The Dallas Express is firm be-
lever in the development of Ne
gro business.
1t is eager and anxious at all
times to do its share in helping to
develop and maintain 1t.
The Express has also maintained
that the business development of the
city of Dallas and its immediate
vicinity lacks much of having been
developed to the fullest extent of
which it was capable. 1t has repat-
eddy called attention to the fact that
the millions of dollars spent annually
by the Negroes of this city failed
TO do the fullest possible amount of
good for the spenders. Lack of CO.
operation of individuals and orgsn-
izations with those men who are
in business and the refusal of those
in business to facilitate this CO.
operation is responsible for this
condition.
The Ministerial Alliance through
Rev. ], H. Smith has invited the
business men Of Dallas to cooperate
with II in observing Business Mems
Day, Sunday, June 18th at some SER
vice during the day a special SER
mon to business men will be preach
ed. short talks on the need of the
development of business and its
relation to racial and community
life will be delivered.
We consider this step by our pas
tors highly worthy of commentator.
We feel that 1t will be productive
of much good. 1t will help the
business man, pastor and few msm-
Der, by making more clear to each
his part in the development of that
which may prove of unlimited bene-
fit to all concerned,
It is to he hoped that the re-
spouse to this invitation of the pas
tors may be heartily complied with
ard that this Business Mems Day
may mark the beginning of a series
of such meetings which. If carrie
to their fullest Development will
help all members of our racial group
in this community.
