Raisin Monopoly Inquiry.
The Attorney General said that
while he was in the west he probably
would take part in an inquiry con-
eerning an alleged monopoly of raisin-
growing interests in California and
also assist in an investigation into
the San Francisco building material
dealer cases.
The building material dealers case

of. building contractors and building
material firms here from continuing
an alleged combination in restraint
of trade under the Sherman anti
trust law. The criminal penalties of
the law are not applicable to the
action because the members of. the
supposed combination were tried
criminally under state antitrust
statute and acquitted.
The actions had their root in a
partly successful attempt of cor
tractors to break a strike here by
resorting to the open shop. Virtually

Garnishes for Your Salads

CALADS in themselves are deli- o cious, but the accompaniments which round out the course are oftentimes their chief attraction.
 Cheese Apples suggest. a most attractive and unique salad accom- paniment. Unwrap one large (six- ounce) package of cream cheese, place in a bowl and chill thor oughly in the refrigerator. Then cream the cheese with fork until pliable and slightly soft. Divide it into small portions and, using the smooth sides of the butter paddles, form each portion into a round ball as in making butter balls. Sprinkle the surface of a large plate with paprika and roll each ball in the paprika, entirely covering it's surface with a light coating of the same.
 Now select whole cloves of uni- form size and stick one Fin the end of the cheese ball, the bud of the clove forming the bud end of the cheese "apples." Cut rose, fern or other stems into suitable lengths and insert stem in the other end of each apple"
 Cheese Carrots. Chill pimento cheese we'll. Then divide the cheese into portions and shape each por- ton to resemble small carrots. Stick a sprig of parsley or carrot green in the large end of the "car- rots" and they are ready to serve.

Ideas on How to Keep Fit as
 Given by Experienced and

TT FIBRE we go round the mulberry bush, the mul-
 berry bush, the mulberry bush''-thus runs the song that children sing at one of their games. Then they proceed to sing, 'This is the way we sweep the floor, so early in the morning." The little tots enact the, various duties of the house during the progress of the game, and when they reach the end of the week they find them selves with lisure time which they spend at church.
 Every housewife may we'll take a lesson from the children and their game, for housework can be undertaken in a spirit of light heartedness and be regarded as a game. The act of window clean ing,- or of sweeping the floor, scrubbing, washing and ironing may all be performed in such man. ner as to be of real benefit to a woman. She may have her gym nasium right in her home.
 First, you must foster the right mental attitude toward housework; then all things vii leone easy to you. There is no reason why homework should be exhausting if you use your muscles properly, but unless you know how to use the large muscles, the small ones are apt to be over-worked. It is the exercise of the large muscles that keeps a person physically fit through life.
 The wonderfully beneficial ef-. feet of rhythm upon the nervous system is well-known fact. It is also true that it is impossible to worry and do anything rhythmic at one and the same time. Worry is a great fatigue producer-per- haps the greatest in the life of the American woman. Therefore, to work with rhythmical swing means to work without worry. It means greater pOlSS o1 Ll1Hu2 nerve ana muscle. It means work done with more pleasure and less fatigue. It means real recreation through work.
 A dress suitable for homework should be worn by every woman who does ser own work. This dress should allow freedom of body, and short, full skirt is bet ter than longer, tight one. Again, shoes which permit the correct use of the foot are of the utmost i'm portance. The feet should always be pointed straight ahead as na-

made upon any particular muscle.
 Second, the use of the larger mus
 cles stimulates the heart and the
 lungs to greater activity in elim- mating the waste products pro- duced by exertion.
 Busting will do the liver as much good as a game of golf if you will let your body bend, turn, twist and stretch adjusting itself to each new article as if your muscles took keen delight in being used. We lose half the benefit to ourselves from the task of sweep ing by stopping over the broom instead of standing upright, let ting the body sway easily with the broom and giving heart and lungs plenty of room in which to re- spond to the call for greater ac- tivity. Busting down walls can give you as good a stretch and a swing as serve in tennis.
 Everyone is born with an in- stinct for rhythm, developed to a greater or less degree. To sing or even Cnlnk a tune helps to smooth the nervous, jerky action of broom or dust cloth into the smooth ,rhythmical motions which will bring the color to out cheeks and keep the wrinkles away.
 The different rhythms are char acteristic of different kinds of mo- tions and have long been associ- ated with them. For instance, three-quarters or waltz time is al- ways suggestive of circles, and should be used to coax the scrub ping brush or the window cloth into good habits. Six-eight time has a splendid ,swaying motion, good for the long sweeps of the floor mop, wall mop or hair broom, the making of beds and the wiping and laying down of dishes. Two four time is usually sprightly and suggests the quick, short strokes of the corn broom. Try to do your with a rhythmical swing in order that you may get the most out of it instead of it's getting the most out of you.

is responsible for putting the "jell" in jelly, and there is no longer any excuse for relying on "luck', to know whether or not the fruit juice contains this neces- sary ingredient. The alcohol test is reliable one.
 Mix with a little hot juice, to which the sugar has not been added, an equal quantity of ethyl or grain alcohol. If sufficient amount of pectin is present, thick, jelly like mass, which may be gathered up on a spoon, will appear in the liquid. If the pectin is not pres ent do not try to make the jelly without first supplying this in gredient. Concentrated pectin is now purchasable in the mar ket for use in those fruits which do not in themselves contain sufficient pectin to "jell."
 Besides containing pectin the fruit juice must have a certain acidity. Fruit juice must taste

 There are certain fundamental rules for the making of jams and jellies, the first and most impor- tant of which is the selection of the fruit. It should be firm but not over-ripe. If it is too ripe the jellying properties are diminished: Large fruits should be washed and cut in pieces, while small fruits should be washed, drained and steamed.

he a restful exercise if it is accom- plished correctly. Objects above easv re-. oh should never be strained for: better take time to get lad der or chair. Stretch the body to it's greatest height by rising on the toes and stretching upward with the arms and body, with the head erect and a full breath. This rule for stretching the body without strain applies to such operations as a raising a window, hanging a picture, brushing down cobwebs, and for reaching for objects stored away on upper shelves.

 You probably have never thought of it, but washing windows and wiping down walls are tasks that will give the deep muscles of the back just the exercise they need. Use an arm motion involving the use of the large muscles of the shoulders and the up- per back. This will also help to keep the back flat and pre- vent rounded shoulders. This type of arm motion is much stronger and more effective in accomplishing Il e a Il 1 ng than the more common move ment which is confined to the forearm, or even the upper arm.

not brown it. Boil the juice until sufficiently concentrated (approx- imately twenty minutes) and test for pectin. If sufficient pectin is present, add the hot sugar to the juice and continue boiling until jelly is observed. Skin thoroughly during the boiling, both before and after the sugar is added. Pour the hot juice into hot, wet sterilized glasses. As soon as the jelly has hardened and is free from moisture on top cover the glasses.
 Do not throw the pulp away after the first extraction, but put it back in the kettle, cover with water and proceed as before. Test again for pectin, and if a large amount is present repeat the pro- cess of extraction. At least three extractions can generally be made, and more if the fruit is rich in pectin. Finish the first extraction before making the second, but it will save time to combine the other extractions before making them into jelly or bortling for fruit juice. If, on testing, insufficient pectin is found, use some of the concentrated pectin referred to before.
 To make jam: Clean the fruit. If large fruits are used pare or peel them and cut into small pieces. If small fruits, such as berries or grapes, are used, mash them. Cook the fruit in as little water as possible. When the fruit is soft, measure it and add hot sugar, using three-fourths to one part of sugar to one part of cooked fruit. Cook until thick,

the best of textures, but pro- duces a jelly of less cloying sweetness.
 If the fruit juice refuses to jell, the addition of sugar will seldom correct this condition. If pectin and acid were present in sufficient quantities, and yet the juice refuses to jell, it is possible that too much sugar was added. To overcome this error, try relocating the whole with fresh juice of underripe fruit to give the correct bal ance between pectin an d sugar.
 The tested and approved method for making jellies is as follows: Wash and cut up the fruit if large; add the neces- sary amount of water, cook in a covered enamel or aluminium kettle until tender. Drain the juice by pouring the contents of the kettle into wet double cheesecloth or flannel bag. Let dry; do not squeeze. Measure the juice and the proportion of sugar; heat the sugar, but do

ISdu11sC NoOEAAAASo w cover them until their celulose frame is softened. Small fruits, such as grapes and entrants, con tain all the water needed. When cooking add to them only a small quantity of water so that the fruit will not cling to the bottom of the one cupful to four or five quarts of fruit. Cranberries, under-ripe blackberries, apples, quinces, crabapRles, entrants and grapes are the shrest fruits to use for jelly-making, and should be the ones chosen by the inexperi- enced housewife.
 The o1d-time rule of one meas ure of sugar to one of fruit should not be followed strictly. The more pectin the fruit juice contains the less sugar can be successfully used. Three-quarters of cupful of sugar to each cupful of con centrated juice is the proportion more nearly correct for making most jellies. It not only assures

as sour as tart apples before it can be made into first-class jelly. This can best be accom- plished by adding to mild fruits, poor in acid, sour or unripe fruits of some other kind. Be sure that a sufficient amount of both pectin and acid is present when making these combina- tions. Sour apples or crab-ap- les are, for this reason, used as the basis for peach or pear jel- lies.
