Since some fruits do not convert
into jelly easily, commercial pee
tin is usually employed to make the
fruit jell properly. Often fruits
which jell easily, that is, those which
have sufficient pectin in themselves
are used in combination with fruits
which do not. Crabapples, unripe
grapes, currants, gooseberries, cram
berries, ounces, huckleberries, and
blackberries jell well. If enough of
them are not used in the combina-
ton, better use the pectin and play
safe.

When I was last in China an amah
who had been the nurse of my sis
ter's children came to the hotel to
make herself useful to us. She took
entire charge of our rooms and slept
on rug in the bathroom; we could
not persuade her to anything more
comfortable. During the course OF
this stay happened to give her a
length of heavy dark green felt that
I had used as typewriter cover.
The next day the amah appeared
with neat squares of it sewed to
her clothes, on elbows and knees.
The autumn weather was insuffera-
bly, hot, and it seemed a strange
time for her to make any warmer
the suffocating bundle of patched,
cleaned, mended old garments that
she wore.
''What else could she dor" my
sister said. "Amah has no bedroom
closet, no bureau, no place to store
things. She lives in a dusty open
compound with rabble of children
and grandchildren, cousins and rela-
tives swarming about her, to say
nothing of goat, a dog, a few chick
ems, wash buckets, cooking furnace,
fodder pile, chopping block, all the
accumulated possessions of centu-
RES of Chinese life. The cold wealth
er is coming, and Amah put the
warm cloth just where it would do
the most good"
Find Joy in Simple Things.
Well, there is something to be
said for the reality of that sort of
living. It never grows monotonous
and it never grows dull. Just the
race to keep food inside you and
famine at arms-length is thrilling
business. A feast, two or three
times year, is real feast; the
whole family anticipates with joy
the moment when the roasted pig or
goose, the rice and hot tea, the
sauces and pastes shall be ready,
and remembers the occasion for
months. A new garment, few ex-
ira pennies, and unexpected bit Of
good luck give these peoples joys
that we never know. Most of them
live, and they have developed a
strangely stoical philosophy about
those who die. Being always face to
face with death seems to rob it Of
most Of its terrors.
But it is pity that we take so
quietly for granted the advantages
of our own position. If we appreciat-
ed them there is not woman in
America who would not feel herself
fortunate, would not take a changed
attitude toward life and toward her
own problem, and would not want
to put herself from now on in po-
sition Of giving rather than of TAX
ing. s...Das
Taking love for granted is one of
the dangers of this serene belief Of
ours that we are entitled to every
thing good in this life, and that it
is the duty of everyone around us
to see that we get it.
Love is wonderful. perishable,
changeable thing. Nine divorces
out Of ten are caused by husbands
and wives who regard it as a set
tied, accepted fact: thing that
needs no further consideration or
culture. Too many wives forget that
marriage is not merely a stepping
stone to Individual advancement or
pleasure, and that to have. love in
your life is to be counted among the
privileged Of mankind.

Local I'D Recalls 23d Anniversary of
 Entering Trenches

Waterbury veterans recalled that yesterday marked the 23d anniversary of the entry of the first full American division into the trenches. It was the 26th, better known as the Yankee Division, which had many members from Waterbury and other Connecticut cities and towns.
 The Yankee Division, many of whose members had seen service at the Mexican border the year before, began behind- the lines training in France in October, 1917. Units of the divi- sion began moving into the trenches early in February, 1918, and on Feb. 6 the whole division was at the front line.
 The Hartford YD chapter will hold a banquet tomorrow night to celebrate the anniver- Sary.

U s. Supervisors Club Dinner at Elton Attended By 67; U. s. Royals Rifle Team Loses First Match in
 Waterbury League; Registrars of Voters Meet
NAUG OK
Correspondent: wm ,. Ba1ter-PhOne Naugatuck ss4S

Naugatuck, Feb. 7-An amount in the budget for the new fiscal year may be set aside for purchase of one or two new voting machines, warden John J. Sheridan said to- day. The warden believes that the borough to be on the safe side should have at least one if not two new machines.
 In the November election, a fault developed in the counter for Sen. Francis Maloney on machine in the third ward and did not register for a number of votes, but it did not seriously affect his total and because of the large Democratic plurality, no question was raised.
 However, the present machines have been in use for a long time and in view of the increasing num- Der of voters here, it is felt that more machines should be bought.
 They will probably not be pur- chased before the borough election next spring, as there is no money for their purchase in the budget for the present fiscal year, and the budget for the next fiscal year, all though approved previously by the board of warden and burgesses, is not approved by the freemen un- til election night. So unless special meeting of the freemen to act on the budget is held prior to election, new machines could not be bought prior to the coming election.
 However, no serious trouble is ex- pected as the vote at borough election is very seldom if ever any, where near as large as the vote in a national election.
