Use of Pectin in Making
.JeIlies Not Understood

The use of pectin in making jellies
is not always understood. Pectin,
sugar, and acid in the right proper
tons are necessary in making jelly.
Adding pectin to the fruit juice may
be helpful for several reasons. De-
licious jelly can thus be made from
the juice of peaches, cherries, straw
berries, and other fruits that do not
naturally contain enough pectin. Also
the housekeeper can be more sure of
success and of a jelly of just the right
texture. Color and flavor, too, can
sometimes be improved because the
juice need not be boiled so long in
order to reach the proper degree of
concentration. The process is there
fore, shortened and the housekeeper
relieved from some of the hottest and
most tedious part of jelly making by
the right use of pectin extracts.
Pectin extracts should, however, be
used only in relatively small quanti-
ties with rich full-favored fruit juices
to supply the lack of natural pectin.
When pectin is added to watered juices
to conceal their poor quality, the jelly
has low food value and flavor

Department of Kansas
Has Research Program

Ancient Indian battle grounds. his
toric spots and unrecorded trails OF
early Spanish explorers who preceded
the Lewis and Clarke expedition In
the Pacific Northwest are expected to
be brought to light by investigation
and research by the department of
Kansas of the American Legion dur
ing the spring and summer.
Announcement of the investigations
planned was made by Thomas Fini-
gan. member of the department ex-
ecutive committee, who took the mat

ical society
The knowledge that a Spanish ex-
petition out of Santa Fe, N. NJ. In
the spring of 1880, passed near Kan
sas City, fought Indians near Quin-
daro and eventually was slaughtered
in battle at the junction of the Loup
with the Platte river In Nebraska,
came from an unusual but authentic
source, historians believe.
From a manuscript written in st.
Louis. Mo-, by a priest. the only man
to escape from the Quindaro massa-
ere, comes the story of these early
expeditions. The manuscript was re-

FRESH ASPARAGUS
BEST FOR CANNING
"Hot-Pack" Method FaDored
for Vegetables.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
If you have an abundance of ten
der, fresh asparagus in the garden
you will undoubtedly want to can
some of 1t for later use. AS the aspar-
agus ought to be canned as quickly
as possible after 1t has been cut, plan
to do little Of this work frequently,
rather than to attempt large
amount Of canning at any one time.
Use the pressure Gamer, and the "hot-
pack" method, which Is recommended
for all vegetables and many fruits by
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. The point about the hot
pack method is that the material to
be canned is heated to the boiling
point or cooked short time before
being put into the can or jars, so that
In the shortest possible time the
temperature of the whole jar is raised
to the required point. This results in
more certain sterilization and bet
ter product because of the shorter
cooking.
Asparagus may be canned whole.
or cut up in half-inch lengths. In the
former case it is tied In uniform bun
dies, cut to fit into the container to
be used, and placed in a saucepan
with boiling water over the tough
lower portion. The saucepan is GOV
cred tightly and boiled or 5 min
utes, then the asparagus Is packed
rapidly into the containers. In the
latter case the cut asparagus Is
brought to boil in water to cover, and
then packed in jars or tins The con-
tainers are completely filed up with
boiling water, and each Jar is sailed
in the proportion Of ] teaspoonful Of
salt to each quart canned.
The jars or cans are put into the
hot Gamer as soon as they are filled
and processed for 40 minutes at 10
pounds pressure, or 240 degrees
Fahrenheit. Glass Jars should have
the springs and rubbers adjusted half
way, or screw tops placed on loosely.
Tin cans are completely sealed be-
fore being placed In the Gamer. After
processing for the required length of
time, remove the containers from the
Gamer. Seal glass Jars at once.
Place them out of drafts. Cool tin
cans by piunging them In cold water
Keep all canned products under OBJ
servation at room temperatures for at
least week. Discard any showing
signs of spoiiage and watch others of
the same lot until It is certain that
they are keeping.

my feathers from the sand Is no rea-
son for them saying that hide my
head in the sand.
"Oh, poor me, poor Mrs. Ostrich, If
only people wouldn't gossip she said.
eff only they wouldn't" added Mr..
Ostrich.
1--WE heard it said now again. In
fact, I've heard it said several times
lately.
IF people would only stop and think
when they're about to tell q story like
that and say to themselves:
1--WE don't know whether that story
is true or not SO we don't say that
when we don't know
THAT would be fair.
''Then they could find out from some
one who knew something about the
ways of the Ostrich family and they
would be told how do lie low when
danger is near and keep myself all
close to the sand and hope that the
color of my feathers and of the sand
will seem so alike in the distance that
will not be noticed.
But they could find out that do
not hide my head in the sand.
"Oh, dear, how many times do have
to say it so people will stop telling
that untrue story?
"Oh, dear, wish they wouldn't tell
thing so stupid about me.

don't have to add an enormous stu
pidity to me.

will repeat that story"

A small leak in water pipe can be
stopped In emergency as follows, ac-

in the Home" Place flat rubber or
leather gasket over the leak and ham
mer a stiff piece of metal, such as a
picture hook, to fit over the gasket;
secure both to the pipe with a wise or
clamp obtainable at hardware or five
and ten-cent stores. A small leak
under low pressure is sometimes
stopped by embedding the pipe in rich
ly mixed portland cement mortar 1t
is necessary to shut off the water
from the pipe and build boxing
around it to hold the soft mortar
closely against the pipe. Broken
sewer pipe can be repaired in like
manner. A wrapping of wire netting
embedded in the mortar increases it's
tensile strength. A small hole in
cast-iron pipe may be tapped with

Leaky Screw Joint
Where a leaky screw joint cannot
be frightened with a pipe wrench,
the leak is sometimes stopped by a
blunt chisel or calking tool and ham
mer. Sometimes a crack or hole is
cleaned out and then plugged and
calked with lead, tinfoil, or a com
mercial iron cement to the consistency
of putty. Sometimes a pipe band with
two bolts, or a split sleeve is en-
ployed to hold a thin coating of iron
cement or gasket over a leak. If
the leak is at a screw joint, the band
is usually coated inside with one
eighth inch of iron cement and then
slipped over the pipe. Keeping the
bolt farthest from the coupling or fit
ting a little tighter than the other,
both bolts are frightened. During the
Tightening the band should be driven
with hammer snugly against the
coupling or fitting.
In addition to these methods and
devices, there are several kinds of
good, inexpensive, ready-made pipe

Strawberry Sauce

A few strawberries can be made to
go long way by making sauce as
follows: Make a hard sauce from one
third cupful of butter, one cupful of
powdered sugar, and the stiff1y beaten
white of an egg. Crush two-thirds of
cupful of fresh Strawberries and
beat gradually into the hard sauce.
This may be slightly warmed over hot
water. The acidity Of the berries may
cause the sauce to separate some
what but this does not affect the
flavor.

are sewed down with cotton floss, using
the buttonhole stitch.
Chambray, cotton broadcloth, coarse

Leaky Spot in Tank.
A corroded and leaky spot in steel
tank or range boiler can be closed
with an inexpensive repair bolt or
plug obtainable from dealers. The
picture shows a homemade repairer
consisting of a three-sixteenths by
three-inch toggle bolt costing ten
cents and a fiat rubber gasket, brass
washer and nut. The link of the bolt,
after being passed through the hole,
takes an upright position, and screw
ing up the nut forces the gasket tight
ly against the outside of the boiler. A
small hole must be reamed or enlarged
with a round file to a diameter about
five-eighths inch. The metal beneath
the gasket should be firm and clean.
A little candle wick packing may be
wrapped around the bolt to prevent
leakage along the bolt Sometimes a
hole is closed by driving in tapered
steel pin to turn the metal inward,

for an ordinary screw plug. A hole in
the wall of tank or pipe having con-
siderable thickness can be easily and
quickly closed by screwing in ia
pered steel tap-plug which cuts and
threads its way through the wall.
These plugs in different sizes are OBJ
tainable of dealers, and monkey
wrench is the only tool required to
insert them; it is unnecessary to shut
off or drain the water from the tank
or pipe.
!. A small leak at a seam or rivet
can often be closed by merely rubbing
a cold chiseI along the beyeled edge
of the joint Do not attempt to calk
seam unless the plates have consid-
cradle thickness and the rivets are
closely spaced and are close TO the
calking edge, and then use extreme
caution. Run a regular calking tool
or blunt chisel along the beveled
edge; tapping the tool very lightly
with a light hammer, force the edge
of the upper plate against and into the
lower plate.

moment.

retold and again told and retold, and
which has been believed by grown-ups
and children.
1T is the story about us. You know
the one mean.

they know instead of talking so much
about what they don't known"
"That is a question I cannot answer

ooh, dear, oh, DEAR" said Mrs.
Ostrich sadly, 81 think l am a poor.
abused creature as far as that story
is concerned.
SIT is unfair to the family, most un-
fair and most untrue.
People will simply go on believing
that old story, or retelling it and not
bothering to find out if it is true or not.
"They simply do not seem to be able
to tell the truth about me.
"There, have said that none of my
family hid their heads in the sand
when they were frightened in their
free state, and still people tell that
old story"
'They mean me, too" said Mr..
Ostrich.
NO" said Mrs. Ostrich, mot so
much as they mean me. For your
feathers are richer and darker and
have more color.
Mine are more of the sand shade,
so people think that l hide my head
in the sand and that l think then no
one can see my body

danger is near and hope that in the
distance people will not be able to tell
