Better Jams

This season I have been making
a collection of strawberry jam re-
cipes. There seems to be an endless
variety Of them. The object of most
homemakers is to achieve a product
which is nearly as thick as jelly, in
which the fruit is plump and well
distributed. This is to be accom-
plished in the shortest possible time
and without destroying the brilliant
red color of the berries. Several of
these recipes have been published
recently, but here are several more.
It is a good idea to try out q few
for yourself to determine which you
like the best IF the jars are clearly
labeled and the recipes filed, it will
be simple matter to find the best
one to use next season.
The amount of sugar required is
influenced by the time allowed for
cooking. With a short cooking per-
iod. more sugar is required as the
of juice is greater.

A Splendid Recipe

The following recipe seems to ne.
quire an unusually large amount
OF sugar, but it is very successful
and gives bright red product al
most like jelly with the sliced Der
ries plump and evenly distributed
throughout. IL. ..... RI
4 cups sliced berries. firmly
packed
7k cups sugar -.
Juice lemon -.-- z-.-z
Alternate berries and sugar and
allow to stand over night. In morn
ing. bring to quick boil. Add lemon
juice and boil for 3 minutes, at
which time the syrup will be thin
but will give the jelly test. This is
done by dipping q spoon into the
Juice. If 1t sheets and 2 drops hang
together from the side of the spoon,
the jelly is done. Remove scum. Re-
move from stove and allow to cool
before pouring into sterilized glasses.
This allows the juice to go back in
to the berries so that they do not
come to the top of the glass.

Is hard to make e fair estimate ol their voting strength. They have had the aid of their state organ ization, and undoubtedly will re- ceive many protest" votes. They do not have the strong city.wide organizations of the two me jor par ties, but this was also the case last year and 1t will be recalled that the Socialist ticket headed by Jasper McLevy swept Waterbury In the state election.
 There has been ''mud-slinging'' during the campaign, especially during the past week, but the bat tie has not had Q fraction of the bitterness noted in some elections in the past. The Republican cries of front man" and "old gang" have sounded hollow, and MT. Scully's dignified, factual campaign has won him many admirers.
 The consensus among observers is that the Democratic ticket will win, but there is a great deal of variance as to the margin predicted. Some say that Scully will win by a big majority; others say 1t will be close.
 One Republican leader, at odds with the organization since the primary fight. declares that the c. o. P. vote will be ct its lowest level in years. 'I1l be worse than the year Andy Cooney ran." he said. This ticket of Upson's is far too weak"
 Other Republicans claim that they will win, though they say the margin will be narrow.
