MORE CHARITY
VEN though we openly declare
that we are mere dependents on
one another, there are times In our
lives when our moods are so mon
strously ugly that we view the matter
in quite a different Hght.
About our worthy selves, our qual-
ifications and special privileges, there
can be no question.
We stand upon a pedestal of our
own making, sure of its unsullied
magnificence and enduring strength.
Being vigorously rational, we are on
speaking terms with our neighbors,
we do not care.
So with a self-made rule,
scale, a curiously contrived
und plum line, we proceed to
measure and to determine their worth.

with a good-sized reflector. The sub- |
stantial, compact, homemade towel
rack which permits one to reach every |
towel Is another good feature; also
the handy hook for the dishpan, the |
covered garbage pall operated by foot
pressure, and the large pitcher ready |
to pour bolling hot rinsing water over |
the dishes as they are washed. The
cold closet should be especially noted. |
It is made flush with the wall of the |
kitchen, into which it opens. On the |
outside of the house it may be seen |
projecting out about 12 inches, finished
with clapboards like the house, and |
having a ventilated bottom. This Is a |
convenient substitute for the ordinary
window box which frequently shuts off
light and air and Is not always easy |
to open with one hand if a dish Is
beld in the other ready to put away.
MAKE FRUIT BUTTERS
WHEN YIELD IS GOOD
Recipes Given Have Been Tested
by Specialists.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There {8 no better way to use good
apples and the sound parts of wind-
falls and wormy and bruised apples
than to make them into butter, Pears
and plums also make good butter, and
peach butter is unusually appetizing.
While apple butter is usually made
with cider, using gallon for gallon of |
peeled and sliced apples and elder, It |
may be made with water only, or with |
other flavors. The following recipes |
have been tested by the United States
Department of Agriculture and are rec
ommended,
Apple Butter With Grape Juice,
To each gallon of peeled and sliced
apples, cooked into a thin apple sauce
and strained, add one pint grape
juice, one cupful of brown sugar and
one-quarter teaspoonful of salt. Cook
slowly and stir often for two hours, or
until of the desired thickness; then stir
in one teaspoonful of cinnamon.
Apple Butter With Lemons,
Slice four lemons, cover with water
and let stand over night. Next morn-
ing put them in a preserving kettle
with eight pounds of apples, pared.
cored and sliced. Cook for one hour;
add three pounds of sugar and cook
slowly, with frequent stirring. one and
one-half hours longer, or until of the
proper thickness,
Apple Butter With Plums,
An exceedingly rich and snappy but-
ter is made with apples and plums. Use
one measure of plums to two measures
of peeled and sliced apples. Wash and
cook the plums and rub through a
strainer or colander to get out the pits,
Cook the apples into sauce, add the
stewed plums and continue cooking an
hour or two untill of the right consist.
ency. When two-thirds cooked, add
two pounds of sugar per gallon. When
finished, used spices and vanilla ac
cording to taste. A good proportion Is
one-half teaspoonful each of ground
cinnamon, cloves and allspice, and
from two to four teaspoonfuls of
vanilla per gallon,
Pear Butter,
Pear butter is made like apple but.
ter without the cider. Use pears ripe
enough to cook up well, Peel, core and
slice them; put In a preserving kettle
with a little water and cook slowly un-
til soft. Then add the sugar, one cup-
ful to one quart of sliced pears, and
continue cooking very siowly, with fre.
quent stirring, for one and a half to
two hours. The butter should then be
smooth and of the consistency of thick
apple sauce, Stir Into the hot butter
a little lemon juice, with cinnamon,
ginger, or other spices to taste. Pack
while hot In hot sterilized containers
and cover with paraffin, or process in a
hot water bath in sealed containers ten
to twenty minutes,
- Peach Butter,
Put the peaches in a wire basket and
dip them in bolling water a few see-
onds, or until the skin slips. Dip them
in cold water, peel them and pit them,
Well-ripened freestone varieties are
best. Mash the pulp and cook it in its
own juice, without adding water. * If
ft is rather coarse It may be put
through a sieve. To each measure or
pound of pulp add a half-measure or
half-pound of sugar, cook slowly and
stir frequently until the product is of
the desired thickness, The sugar may
of
be added before cooking begins, If de-
sired. The meats of several pits may |
be cooked, either whole or sliced, In|
each gallon of butter. While still hot, |
pack In sterilized jars or glasses and
process 20 minutes in a hot water bath
or cover with hot parafiin,
Plum Butter,
Wash the plums and cook till soft |
with a little water. Rub the pulp |
through a coarse wire sieve. For each
three
quarters of a measure of sugar and |
cook slowly, with frequent stirring, un-
til the butter is as thick as desired. If |
a tart butter is favored, less sugur
should be used. If the plums are very
Juley the pulp put through the colander
may need to be bolled down and thick-
ened before the suger is measured or |
added. Clnnamon, allspice and cloves |
should be added to sult the taste, when |
the cooking Is finished. Plum butter |
should be packed while hot in the sawpe
way as other butters or preserves,
METHOD OF CLARIFYING FAT |
Meit With at Least an Equal Volume |
of Water and Heat for
Short Time.
An old-fashioned method of clarify |
ing fat from the soup kettle or from |
cooked meats such as bacon, ham, |
chicken, beef, sausage, and other |
sources, Is recommended by the Unl |
ted States Department of Agriculture, |
Melt the fat with at least an equal |
volume of water and heat for a short |
time at a moderate temperature, stir |
ing the mixture occasionally. When |
cold, remove the cake of fat and |
scrape off any small particles of meat |
and skin that adhere,
Some fats are better flavored than
others for use in pastry or cake mak- |
ing, but all cleanly rendered fats may
be used In frying If the flavor or |
color or both are not satisfactory at |
the first rendering, the process may be |
repeated several times. Another meth. |
od, often recommended, Is to cook a
number of slices of raw potato In the
boiling fat. The addition of a small |
uncut onion, a few leaves of summer
savory and thyme salt and pepper, |
when rendering meat drippings, makes |
a savory fat useful for gravies. Sau- |
sage fat ls excellent for frying meats |
which have less flavor of thelr own, as
veal cutlet or rabbit.
Fat In small quantities may be eas
fly kept sweet In the ice box for cook-
ing purposes, If lard is rendered at
home In large quantities to last a
long time it should be kept covered
in tins or earthen jars, in a cool, dry

Not long-drawn prayers as some might

"Tis not my way;

In silent tensity of prayer
That you be given strength to bem

That peace within your heart abound;
