A NelO Way to
Make Jellies
Without Staining Fingers-Without
Long Hours of Boiling-Without
Depending Upon Berries or
Fruit Being In Season.

One Of the most interesting and yet
one of the simplest new products In
the food field is called minute jelly,
1t is pure fruit or berry juice already
boiled down and concentrated. To
this concentrated juice, fruit pectin
in the right amount has been added.
The pectin is that part Of fruit which
makes jelly "jell." 1t is as pure and
wholesome as the fruit juice.
To make the jelly take the little
bottle of concentrated juice, pour in
sauce pan, add water and sugar ac-
cording to directions on the bottle and
boil few minutes. Then pour into
jelly glasses and when it has become
cold you have the most delicious pure
fruit jelly you ever tasted.
A few bottles kept on hand, selected
according to your taste for jellies, and
you can make up a few glasses just
as you want it. One small bottle makes
two glasses Of jelly. If you wish to
try two bottles send us twenty-five
cents and we will give you your choice
of grape, mint, pineapple, orange,
raspberry, strawberry or blackberry.
Or four bottles-all different-for fifty
cents. Address Department WI, Cen

Home of John Wesley
Bought bv Wes[eyans

Epworth vicarage, home of John
Wesley, founder of Methodism, Is
about to pass into the hands of the
Wesleyan church. 1t has been an
Anglican rectory all these years, as
it was in the days when the Wesley
brothers, their father, but above all
the noble figure of their mother, Su-
zanne, lived there. 1t had fallen into
dilapidatiOn and the rector appealed
for help. Naturally the Methodists
came forward and even proposed to
buy the historic place. The broad
sympathy that has marked inter-Prot-
estant relations since the Lambeth
conference in England was also in
evidence at the conferences that led
to the purchase. There was time,
not so far distant, when harsh words
might have fallen. 1t will no doubt

ENTHUSIASM

GET a building on fire and crowd
- soon gathers. The motive which
brought the crowd may have been
curiosity, excitement or the desire to
be of some assistance. 1t is neverthe-
less true, that a fire brings a crowd.
The word enthusiasm comes from
two Greek words, which, translated
literally mean, ''the divine in u.s." En-
thusiasm is only another word for
fire, the fire which burns in the heart.
You will not remain a half hour in
an artists studio without learning
something about the value of this fire.
Watch the artist. He is all alive. He
shows you one piece of work after
another upon which he has spent time
and energy. His whole life is aglow
with his art. He is on fire. Nothing
to him is so important as his art. His
success in his profession is not mere
accident nor Is it attributable to
"good luck" but rather to the fact
that fire burned in his heart. The
musician transfers his soul to you
through the instrument he plays. His
music carries a message that is con-
vincing and helpful. Another plays
the same instrument, striking the
same note and playing the same piece.
1t carries no message to you, and you
leave the concert regretfully. How
can you explain the difference be-
tween the two musicians? They both
played the same instrument and the
same musical selection. The differ
ence is explained by the fact that in
the one case the music was real; in
the other only an imitation. The one
had fire in his heart, the other did
not.
Enthusiasm, or fire in the heart, is
the driving power which enables us to
reach that goal we call success. Sue
cess Is not attributable only to the
possession of talents and ability. The
most important question is, how are
we going to use the talent we have?
Bury it and 1t is lost. One talent
plus enthusiasm Is worth more than
ten talents without the fire of the
heart.
Enthusiasm is the dynamic Of life
because it furnishes motive power.
No permanent achievement in the
world can be won without it. To
be enthusiastic is to be possessed with
a great idea, purpose, ambition. EN-
erson said, Every great and COM
manding moment in the annals Of the
world is the triumph of enthusiasm"

CURE FOR HOOP DISEASE

the cow steps on, dig 1t up, tie it
with cord and hang it In the omen

under the action of the weather so
will the disease disappear from the
hoof Of your COW.
This "cure" Is exceedingly popular
in England and enjoys considerable
reputation In Canada and the United
States.
, 1t is primitive magic in its SIMPLEST
form. Sir James Frazer calls it "the
contagious magic of footprints" The
old Morse heroes, when they wished
to form lasting bond of friendship
sprinkled each others footprints with
blood drawn from their own veins and
the savage. Today the savage will
throw his spear into the footprints of
an enemy whom he wishes to iniure.
In southern Europe a good way TO
avoid the Influence of the "evil eve"
is to stick some sharp-pointed instru.
ment into the footprints of the person
suspected Of possessing that baleful
attribute. The negroes 'down South"
say that q 'conjurer" can "work a
man mischief BY digging up his foot
prints and @conjuring" over them.
Marian Roalfe Cox, In "An Introduc-
ton to Folk Lore" speaks of an old
practice amolg the Germans of .cut-
ting out the piece of turf whereon a
person to be destroyed has stood and
hanging it IL the chimney that he may
perish as his footprints dry and

Primitive man conceived a close re-

existing between a man and his

see the devotion that birds show.
"Some of the birds from abroad
have different ways and are quite
curious. The keeper says that there
is Snipe family abroad and that the

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
NODDING eyes"

D EFORE child learns to say "yes"
- or mo" he instinctively mods his
head-a naughty, condescending up
and-down-to show that he approves,
or a vigorous shaking from side to
side when the imperious will has been
crossed. Later on, as he seems to
show preference for this way Of ex-
pressing himself, it is often necessary
to remind him that he can speak.
Many of us may sympathize with
the man who said to Darwin, "Your
ancestors may have been apes!" but
it cannot be denied that we have many
things in common with the other
species.
Watch a young animal ready to re-
ceive food. With eager eyes and
mouth open, it makes quick, forward
movements Of the head. When the
food is not acceptable, a tightly
clenched jaw and sideward motion Of
the head serve to keep the mother anil
NAL from forcing the food upon it.
So after all these centuries mans
mouth is still relaxed when he mods
"yes," but there is strong tendency
to clench his teeth and even close his
eyes when he shakes 'no."
