Use of Pectin in Making
.Jellies 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 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.

FRESH ASPARAGUS
BEST FOR CANNING
"Hot-Pack" Method FaUored
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 it has been cut, plan
to do little of this work frequently,
rather than to attempt a 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 a 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 centainer to
be used, and placed in saucepan
with boiling water over the tough
lower portion. The saucepan is COW
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 filled up with
boiling water, and each Jar is sailed
In the proportion of 1 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.
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 plunging them in cold water.
Keep all canned products under OBJ
servation at room temperatures for at
least a week. Discard any showing
signs of spoilage and watch others of
the same lot until 1t is certain that
they are keeping.

Pessimistic View of Life Not Warranted

sertion made by Or. Eugene Lyman
Fisk in Forbes Magazine.
Many years of experience in sift-
ing and sorting human types, in search
ing for the causes of physical failure,
have convinced me of the falsity OF
this pessimistic philosophy. No one
would wish to live in a world abso-
lutely devoid of struggle, pain. grief or
suffering.

view it through bilious colored spec

Leaky Spot In Tank.
A correded and leaky spot in a steel
tank or range boiler can be closed
with an inexpensive repair bolt or
plug Obtainable from dealers. The
picture shows homemade repairer
consisting Of a three-sixteenths by
three-inch toggle bolt costing ten
cents and a fat 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,
forming a surface which can be tapped
for an ordinary screw plug. hole in
the wall of tank or pipe having con-
siderable thickness can be easily and
quickly closed by screwing In a ta-
pered steel tap-plug which cuts and
threads it's way through the wall.
These plugs In different sizes are OBJ
tainable of dealers, and a 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 seam or rivet
can often be closed by merely rubbing
cold chisel along the beveled edge
of the joint. Do not attempt to calk
a 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

Although Panama is one OF the

great stores of gold and other wealth,
the sacking of the old city by pirates,

Panama went into a partial eclipse.

A few strawberries can be made to
go long way by making sauce as
follows: Make hard sauce from one
third cupful of butter, one cupful of
powdered sugar, and the stiffiy beaten
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.

Vitan,ines and Minerals

Oranges are a rich source of Vita
mines and minerals. Children need a
constant and abundant supply of these
things in their food to help them
grow and develop normally. Oranges
also have the advantage that they can
be given between meals without spoil
ing the appetite for other foods at
the regular meal times. In fact they
seem to sharpen rather than dull the
appetite.
