How to Make Gooseberry Jelly the
New, Quick and Economical Way
Revolutionary Certo Process Never Fails

Gooseberries are here and sugar is
cheap. Best Of all, new process has
been dtscovered to jell this tart and
refreshing fruit when ripe and full OF
flavor. Certo, a natural product of
fruit. has solved the problem 20 that
every one can afford to make and eat
this delicious conserve.
. The new Certo Process is very simple:
Crush we'll or cut fine about 2l5 quarts
OF gooseberries and add y cup OF
water. Simmer In covered saucepan for
10 minutes, put cooked fruit in jelly
bag and strain out as much juice as
possible Measure 6ls heaping cups
on lbs.) of sugar and cups q lbs
or juice into large saucepan, stir and
bring to boil. At once add l bottle
of Certo, stirring constantly, and bring
to boil again for y minute. Remove
from fire. let stand a minute, skim and
pour into glasses. Makes IL half-pound
glasses.
This Certo process banishes all the
guesswork or worry, as perfect results
are certain. Unlike the old method Of
pound for pound" mixture boiled for
thirty or more minutes, with consequent
loss of fruit juice and favor being boiled
away, the economical Certo Process re-
9uires only " minutes boiling and
thereby saves all the fruit to produce

Taking a nap in the middle Of the
day." Staying in bed all morning" :"
"Sitting on cool pier over the ocean
watching the waves wave Sitting
out in breezy garden. doing In the
sunshine or reading to the tune of bird

There are million answers to this
question !; each person has her own pet
formula for getting rested.
But; when you consider them oil, isn't
there one better than any of them?
Accomplishment.
After all your nap doesn't do you
much good IL you go to sleep just to
forget the load of work that is piling
up ahead of you; staying In bed doesn t
get you anywhere; watching the waves

hours. to see real progress being made.
At last you are getting somewhere,
things are getting done, you are ac-

You have the most satisfied feeling
all the time, as you plow through the
things that have to done.

the later part of the afternoon. 'I'll

But, just look at all I've got done

cleaning some silver that has needed it
long time pulling some unruly weeds
out of a garden washing lot Of shirt
waists; or any of those thousand and
one things that a woman in any walk
Of life has to do at some time or other.
And it doesn't matter when you do It..
You may take all of hard earned
holiday away from the Office; you may
take a perfectly good Saturday after

Read Your Character
By Dtgby Phillips
No. 2-The Narrowed Eye

W. - Ht -NhTTOWbu Eye
THERE are two kinds Of narrowed
eyes, natural and acquired. But
even the naturally narrowed eye in
which the lids cover more than the nor.
NAL surface OF the eye without wrIn.
king. are significant OF hereditary
traits as the eye which tends to narrow
by habit may indicate both Inherited and
acquired traits of character.
As the wide-open eye is the eve OF
credulity. so the narrowed eye is the
sign OF caution. II is the eye OF the
person who wthholds decision and ac-
ton until he Is sure he has penetrated
any possible, ulterior designs 1t does
not necessarily Indicate ability in such
penetration, but at least the habitual
attempt.
Thus we might reach entirely diff
ferent conclusions regarding persons
with this type Of eye, according to the
variation OF other signs. For instance
would signify moro than usual ability
10 spot the niger in the woodpile !"
Associated with very low intelligence,
we would read In It the probability OF
FEAR rather than caution. and combina-
ton Of suspicion and cunning rather
than far-sightedness.
There's a real reason for all this
When we think hard. when we concen-
trate our thoughts, we instindtively
narrow the eyes or allow the lids TO
droop. But what OF the narrowed eye
as a racial trait as in the case Of ORR
entails? Indeed the majority of char
acter indications are racial in their
origin. The Orientals are traditionallv
shrewd and cautious. 50 the s!gnifi-
canoe still holds good and should this
sign of caution be over-balanced by
other and more numerous indications OF
reeklessness. 1t simply means that the
person has some modifying element OF
caution in his or her makeup. and prob
ably isn't quite SO reckless as you
imagine.
