Snow, what on earth could a whole

s'F'ind to do, Remembering all we
did do that sounds like utter blasphemy.

How to Make
Strawberry Jam
In Is Minutes
By Ann Proctor

The most delicious strawberry jam
you ever tasted-chock full OF the nat
ural color and flavor-can be made at
home by anyone within 10 minutes att
er the berries are washed and crushed.
/ use the Certo method because it takes
only one minutes boiling, thus saving
flavor and color; never fails, and Is
cheaper because L get one-haf more
Jam from the same amount of berries.
To make IL large glasses of Straw
berry Jam, use this simple recipe:
Crush about 2 quarts ripe berries IN
separate portions, so that each berry is
mashed. This allows fruit to quickly
absorb the sugar during the short boil.
Measure 4 level cups q lbs.) crushed
berries into large kettle, add Z level
cups 6 lbs.) sugar and mix we'll.
Use hottest fire and stir constantly be-
fore and while boiling. Boil hard for
one full minute, remove from fire and
stir in u bottle (scant u cup) Certo.
From time jam is taken off fire allow
to stand not over 5 minutes by the
clock, before pouring. In the mean
time, skim, and stir occasionally to
cool slightly. Then pour quickly.
Use same recipe for Raspberry,
Blackberry or Dewberry Jam.
BY this short "Certo Process" you
save all the color and flavor that
s0oiled away by the old method. Time
and worry are saved and you have 8
lbs. of jam from 2 lbs. of berries as
against 3 lbs. by the old method; and
me cost with soc berries and 1Oc sugar
u less than 10c per glass.
Certo is simply the ''jell' property of
fruit, refined and concentrated. 1t
contains no gelatine or preservative and
is obtained of grocers everywhere.
The above recipe and nearly 100 9th
ers for making delicious jellies and
jams by the "Certo Process" is found
in the Certo Book of Recipes, copy
Of which is attached to every bottle OF
Certo.
Use Certo this year in making all
your jams and jellies. 1t saves time,
worry and boiling. The "Certo Proc
ess' never fails and saves money, be-
cause you make half as much more jam
from the same amount of fruit; it is en-
dorsed by national authorities and cook
ing experts. Jelly andtgams made with
Certo keep perfectly.-Adv.

T aking Time TO
Relax Vital
To Health

Il can't take the time to relax" ex-
claimed a woman who is on the verge
of nervous breakdown, and she is but
one of thousands of similar cases.
1t does not necessarily take time to
relax. This can be accomplished in
the course of days duties. Instead
of having the mending bag handy
whenever there is. a short pause in the
, household routine, like watching the
oven," waiting for the irons to heat
or the family to come in for dinner,
Just sit down and make your mind as
near blank as possible during the
few minutes interval. When at the
phone close your eyes-you will be
surprised how much this will rest you.
The time spent in the subway or
other trains could be devoted to COM
plete relaxation instead of straining
the eyes and keeping the mind active
by reading. The business woman
would find it more profitable to build
up nerve force by relaxation after
her lunch than by spending this
time at fancy work or writing social
letters. ~se.
The average woman of today is
running on high gear from nine to
twelve hours day and when she
finally feels free to rest she is too
nervous to relax.
Many of these women do not relax
even when they retire at night. The
bed isl just the incest place to think
and plan without interruption. Then
follows insomnia or a trouble sleep
and the busy woman arises unre-
freshed for another days whirl of
duties.

to his memory.
Present Judge w. ?. Knowles, ac-
cepting the picture on behalf of the
county. stated that it would be a
pleasure for him to have the picture
adorn the walls of the court room,
where the late Judges many friends
might see and enjoy the same.
---John p. Foley, one of the pioneer
attorneys of this county, who practi-
ced in the County Court during the
full term of the late Judge Weld
spoke in the highest terms of his work
Atty. Foley brought out the fact that
in other counties of the state it was
the costume to place upon the walls OF
the court room, the pictures of past
Judges, and suggested that commit
tee be appointed to take steps to do
likewise in this county. Whereupon
Judge Knowles appointed John +. TO
ley, w. G. Haddow and 0. J. Hohie
as such committee.-Herald.

Fine Farm Home
Destroyed By Fire

The splendid home of Mr.. Frank
Bliss, located little over mile
east Of this city, was totally destroy
ed by fire of unknown Origin about
six o'clock last Saturday evening.
The Bliss family, wholly unconscious
of any danger were just sitting down
to supper when Douglas Slater, who
was about to pass on the road, saw
the flames coming out of The roof
and rushed in to give the alarm.
Hurrying upstairs they found the
attic all ablaze, and, after sending
word to the city telephone exchange,
all set to work at saving what they
could. The chemical apparatus from
the River Falls Fire Department
made quick response, but the
flames had gained too much Roadway,
and the firemen joined the family
and neighbors in carry ing out house
hold goods.
Considerable furniture. and most OF
tho bedding upstairs, and practically
all of the furniture on the man
floor, with the exception OF the
kitchen was taken out. Considerable
property stored in the attic, and all
the kitchen equipment, together with
clothing. ETC., stored in closets, was
lost. None of Mr. Bliss clothing,
with the exception of that which ne
had on, and fur overcoat, was saver
The house was occupied by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bliss andt their children, Miss
Florence and Raymond, and two Nor
NAL school students, Clayton Holmes
OF Schleisingerville and Vern Downey
of Ellsworth, who were rooming there.
The Blisses are residing at the Ed
gar Bliss home since the fire.
Mr.. Bliss built the house in the
Spring of 1902, nearly % years ago,
and moved his family into it earl
that Fall 1t was one of the finest
farm homes in this locality, all hard
wood finish, with wide, open OAK
stairway, five bedrooms and bath
and commodious closets upstairs, and
FIVE large rooms downstairs. The at
tic extended across the entire build
ing. and there was large bias ssssss'ft'
under the main portion of the house.
Mr.. Bliss plans to rebuild on the
same site, and the work OF clearing
away the ruins has already begun
Nineteen neighbors were on the
;.,ounds yesterday lending volunteer
aid in this work.
1t is estimated that now it would
cost in the neighborhood OF $l0,ooo
TO replace the house as it was before
the fire. The insurance carried
covered only a small portion OF the
loss.
The Bliss family request us to eX-
press their sincere appreciation OF
the efficient service rendered by the
members of the Fire Department and
neighbors and others who responded
SO promptly and worked so diligently
in saving the things from the hre'
and also to extend thanks to those
who have helped clear up the RUNS
since.
