Here ,1s Fine Flavor.
Ing Sirup.
(From the United Btntm Department of
Agriculture.)
Various fruit Juices may be prepared
In the home and bottled for future use.
Practically any fruit may be used In
the first recipe following.
Sterlllxed Fruit Juice The fruit
Juice may be pressed out of fruit by
means of a cider press, special fruit
press, or other Improvised presses j then
heated In on acid-proof kettle up to
110 degrees Fahrenheit. The fruit Juice
may then be poured Into ordinary hot
Jars, hot bottles, or tin cons, and hun
died by the same directions as those
for canning of fruit Itself. If poured
Into miscellaneous bottles, It Is sug
gested that the fruit Juice be sterilized
as follows:
Make a cotton stopper nnd press
Into the neck of the bottle and leave
during the sterilization period. Set
bottles In boiling hot water up to the
neck of the bottle, sterilizing the fruit
Juice for 80 minutes at a simmering
temperature (105 degrees Fahrenheit).
Remove the product, press cork In top
over cotton stopper Immediately. If the
fork fits well, do porn III n need be used.
If a poor cork, it may be necessary to
dip the cork In molted solution of wax
or paraffin. Fruit Juices and tipple
elder when handled In this way will
not "flatten In taste" and will keep
fresh for future use.
Grape Juice by Two-Day Method
For home use there arc a large num
ber of varieties of grapes which will
make a pleasant nnd healthful drink.
No matter what the kind of grape,
JAMS, FRUIT BUTTERS,
A Luscious Trio Yellow Tomato,
(Prepared by the Untied States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Jams are mado of small fruits which
tire not whole or firm enough to use
for preserves. No nttempt Is made
to retain the orlglnnl shape of the
fruit, the finished product having a
uniform consistency. Marmalades have
a more Jellylike texture and thln'sllrcs
of the fruit appear suspended through
out the mixture. In fruit butters and
pastes frequently less sugar Is used
than In Jams and the product Is more
concentrated. Conserves may be made
of large or small fruits, cooked In
the same manner as Jams. Sometimes
nuts ore added.
In stirring Jams use a wooden spoon
or podJle, moving It across the cen
ter of the vessel first one way and then
the opposite, and next around the pan,
gently moving the mixture from the
bottom of the pan, being careful not
to stir rapidly or beat. Cook the Jam
to 105 degrees Centigrade or 221 de
grees Fahrenheit, If a thermometer is
used.
If a cooking or chemical thermome
ter Is available more accurate results
can be obtained iby Its use. The prop
er condition of the cooked fruit can
be determined approximately, how
ever, without the use of such instru
ments. For determining when they
are finished most Jams may be given
the snme test as finished Jelly; that
Is, when n little Is held a moment nnd
cooled In a Fpoon, It will not pour from
the side of the spoon, but will fnll In
a sheet or' flake. This Is not true of
jams made of peaches, cherries, straw
berries, and other fruits not contain
ing pectin, the Jellying principle. When
using such fruits, cook until the Jam
is of the desired consistency.
Well-glazed hermetically sealed
stoneware Jars with capacity of right
ounces and up, are suitable and at
tractive containers for packing Jams,
marmalades, etc. Large-necked bot
tles, glosses, etc., also may be used
and sealed with cork, paraffin, etc.
Jiims nnd marmalades may Le pack
ed hot In sterilized Jars, glasses or
large-necked bottles, and sealed Imme
diately. When packing for market,
Light-Colored Juice. After the
Juice Is pressed cut the subsequent
procedure depends upon whether a
white or a red product Is desired. For
a light-colored Juice, the' crushed
grapes are put In a cloth sack and
twisted until the greater part of the
Juice Is extracted, one person holding
ench end of the sack. The Juice is
then put In some convenient form cf
double boiler In which It does not
come Into direct contact with the fire,
but Is surrounded by hot water, and
gradually heated to a temperature
f. fnmm
rd - tv UTra
however, only clean, sound fruit
should bo used and It should be well
ripened, but not overripe. The gropes
should first be crushed nnd pressed In
an ordinary cider mill or by hand If
no mill Is available.
Red Juice. For red Juice, the
crushed grapes nro heated to about
'JOO degrees Fahrenheit before the Juice
is sepnruted from the pulp and then
tarnim-d through a clean cloth or drip
bug without pressure. Thereafter, the
process is the Mime as for Hzlit-eolorod
Juice.
Grape Juice should be stored away
In bottles or Jars that are not too large,
for after these have been onencd th
Juice Ih likely to spoil. If properly
muue, However, the Juice should keep
maeiiniteiy as long as it Is kent In
scaled bottles.
Sirup Made From Windfall AoDlea
and Apple C'der. Add live ounces of
powdered calcium carbonato (obtained
at any drug store) to seven gallons of
apple elder. Powdered calcium car
bonate (carbonate of lime) or, to give
It Is common name, precipitated chalk,
Is low-priced nnd harmless. Iloil tho
mixture In a kettle or vat vigorously
for Ave minutes. Pour the liquid Into
vessels, preferably glass Jars or pitch
ers ; allow to stand six or eight hours,
or until perfectly clear. Pour the clear
Ilijuld Into a preserving kettle. Po not
allow sediment at bottom to enter. Add
to tho clear liquid one level teaspoon
ful of lime carbonate nnd stir thor
oughly. The process Is completed by
boiling down rapidly to a clear liquid.
Use density gauge or candy thermome
ter nnd bring the temperature up to
2-0 degrees Fahrenheit. If a thermom
eter Is not avalluble, boll until bulk Is
reduced to one-seventh of the orlglnnl
volume. To determine whether thr
sirup Is cooked enough test as foi
candy by pouring a little Into cold
water. If boiled enough It should have
tho consistency of maple sirup. It
should not be cooked long enough to
burden like candy when tested.
When the test shows that the sirup
has been cooked enough, pour It Into
fruit Jars, pitchers, etc., and allow It
to cool slowly. Slow cooling Is Im
portant, as otherwise the suspended
mnttcr will not settle properly nnd the
sirup will be cloudy.
MARMALADES, ETC.
Kumquat and Strawberry Preserves.
however, It Is far safer to process them
both to Insure stcrtllzntlon and a tight
seal. Process pints for 30 minutes at
simmering (87 degrees Centigrade or
188 degrees Fahrenheit).
' Berry Jam. In selecting berries for
Jam the ripe, broken ones will give
line color and flavor, but about one
half the quantity should be slightly un
derripe. This Is necessary to give a
Jelly-like consistency to the product
Ceoklng In small quantities also helps
to retain color nnd flavor. Weigh the
berries nnd allow three-fourths of a
pound of sugar to each pound of fruit.
Rapid cooking with constant care Is
essential.
Peach Jam. Two nnd one-quarter
pounds peaches cut Into small pieces,
one pound sugnr, six whole allspice,
one cracked peach seed, one Inch gin
ger foot, one-half cupful peach Juice,
one-half teaspoonful whole cloves, one
tenspoonful clnnnmon bark, one sprig
mace. (Tic spices In cheesecloth bog.)
Cook all together until thick as marma
lade and clear or until of the consis
tency desired (to 105 degrees Centi
grade or 221 degrees Fahrenheit). Tack
hot In hot Jars and seal at once or
process.
Quince Paste. Three-fourths pound
powdered sugnr for each pound of
fruit pulp. Wipe tho fruit, cut Into
quarters, remove flower and core, nnd
cook In water until very tender. After
rubbing the pulp through a sieve,
weigh It and add the required amount
of sugar. It Is then cooked until very
thick. Scalded and chopped nut ker
nels mny be added. The pulp remain
ing after the Juice has been extracted
for quince Jelly may be used also.
Pear and Quince Preserves. For
pear nnd quince preserves, use the
same proportion of sugar nnd fruit
Cut the fruit Into half-circle slices.
Cook the fruit until almost tender in
boiling water, drain, add the sirup,
and proceed as for peach preserves.
Apple Butter. Measure tho apples,
wash to remove dirt, sllco Into small
pieces, and for each bushel of apples
add four gallons of water; boll until
the fruit is soft then rub through a
screen or sieve.
close to 200 degrees Fahrenheit It
should not be allowed to go over this
point It no thermometer Is available, It
Is best to heat the Juice until It steams
nnd then to take It from the fire be

24 hours, after which it can be drained
from the sediment and run through

HARVEST IB CROP
OFAPPLESSHORTLY
It Will Equal Two Bushels for
Every Man, Woman and
Child in the Land.
STAPLE FOODS TO ALLIES
Motto This Year la "Eat a.i Apple and
Send a Biscuit" Unusual Need
For Handling Crop May Be
Short of Help.
The United States is about to hnr
vent Its great war crop of applm. It
equals two bushels to every nmn, wom
an and ehKd In the country. In order
to send as much Maple food as possi
ble to our flghtlni; iiUics, Americans
are nrced to use as many npples as
possible. The motto this ycnr Is: "Eat
an apple and send a biscuit."
War conditions aluo confront the
apple growers, for there is n scarcity
of pickers, and careful preparations
must now be made to see that this
crop Ix all wifely harvested and put
Into storage. Now la the time to be
gin organizing picking crewa In every
apple growing section. A survey of
the si' nation shows that the farmer
will need co-operation from business
men In !ie towns ami cltlea round
about at which ho trades, and which
have Just as great an Interest In this
crop an the fanner himself. This Is
emergency organization work to be
taken up immediately by chambers of
commerce, boards of trade, Mute and
county councils of defense, and busi
ness men generally.
The labor supply to harvest this
crop exists right in the rltles adjacent
to the apple orchards In most cases,
but the draft and dcruumls of fac
tories and rnllromW fur labor have
disturbed the normal supply of work
ers upon which the fiiriner usually
draw, nnd It Is necessary to recruit
new Minis of workers. People who
have never regarded themselves as ap
ple pickers may Ti.s year he nsked to
go to ti e orchards and help get In the
crop fot patriotic reasons.
The o g inl'.atlon work should take
the form of an Immediate survey of
labor reso u es to see where a picking
force Is to ,o recruited. Stores and
factories eiu "ften release clerks and
workmen for . 's M'rvicolf notified In
time. Families ''ki would like a week
or two of vacatlo. In the country with
light, healthy outdo, r work at satisfac
tory wages, may ai..' be Induced to
Join the picking army. It has been sug
gested that the schools might be open
ed later Ibis year so that boys and girls
can be sent to the orchards, but this
will not be necessary In all cases. One
very good source of pickers can be
found among the women's organlza
tlous of this country.
Much Is heard about the scarcity of
labor, but there is not as great a scar
city as most people imagine. Workers
upon whom the farmer ilepchds in or
dinary limes have simply been shifted
Into oilier occupations, and war condi
tions demand tli::t business men step
In, locate oilier lasses of workers who
can be shifted to the orchards for this
emergency and see that the farmer has
plenty of help.
The principles of careful fruit pick
ing nro very simple, and easily under
stood. If the farmer can start with
two or three experienced pickers and
spend a little time explaining good
picking methods to bis volunteers he
should get excdlent results, for these
volunteers, while new to the work, will
also be people of good average Intelli
gence, and the war emergency will ap
peal to their Interest so that they will
be more than ready to help harvest the
crop skillfully.
Apple growcis are advised to get In
touch with the business organizations
In their nearest town, nsk that help be
given in securing pickers and report
the number of idekers needed by them
selves. One of the greatest difficul
ties In organizing harvest hands for
any crop is that of gathering accurate
Information as to bow many helpers
are needed on eai h farm and In each
township. For lack of such Informa
tion It very often happens that one
towiHiip will be handicapped because
It Is without sullUitnt helpers and a
-township twenty-Ihe or thirty miles
away will have n surplus of workers.
Ity ascertaining in advance Just how
many workers will be needed In ench
locality, business organizations will' be
iihlo to recruit a sufllcieat force and
there will be neither scarcity nor sur
plus In any section.
This year's apple crop calls for spe
cial methods of handling. The size of
(lie crop makes It necessary to send
only the first class fruit to market nnd
to see that all seconds and culls are
sold In bulk around borne or worked
up Into by-products. There must be
great care to see that apples are not
exposed to the heat or outdoors after
picking, but are properly housed In
temporary storage places on the farm
nnd carefully cooled. The scarcity of
pickers will probably make It neces
sary to pick and house the crop first
and graoe and pack It afterwords. Full
directions for handling the fruit will
be published later.
The great big task Immediately
ahead Is that of securing a picking
force, and In this work the business
man and the farmer are co-operating
to ait extent never known before. This
la n war crop. It will be harvested
with a war organization.

MOTHERS' DEMANDS.
There come to us very frequently
most pathetic appeals from mothers J
nnd other Interested parties, telling of i
the shocking conditions around certain
military camps where drink and licen
tiousness twin evils hold dally und
nightly revels, nnd asking "If some
thing cannot be done about It,", says
Mrs. Margaret Dye Ellis, National W.
C. T. U. superintendent of legislative
work, writing' from Washington, D. C.
As one mother expressed It, "I would
ruther a thousand times that my son
went to the bottom of the ocean un
warned, but clean and pure, than to
have him back home polluted and
tainted from drink and sensuality."
Much Is being done by the authorities,
military and legislative, In response to
appeals from mothers of the country.
"That the saloon und brothel shall be
done away with In military centers is
a foregone conclusion," says Mrs. Ellis.
"The United States government heard
and answered the appeal of the W. C.
T. U. for the unprotected girls in the
Philippines and placed Its ban on seg
regation in those far-away islands
years ago and we know and believe
that the Insistent appeal to the presi
dent and members of congress by
mothers and friends of the soldier boy
will cause the complete overthrow of
these direful temptations from their
midst" .
AUTHORITATIVE TESTIMONY.
Mayor Speer of Denver, speaking to
800 leading citizens of that city at a
luncheon, referred to the fact that
when the prohibition Issue was before
the people In 1014 he voted wet, and
said that were it to come up again he
would vote dry. One result of pro
hibition has been the lowering of the
tax rate. "There had been a deficit at
the close of the city's business for a
number of years," said the mayor. "I
am glad to report that at the dose of
1916 we had a cash surplus of ?l.'13,O0O,
and In addition thereto paid special
improvement taxes on parks, fire
houses, courthouses, city hall and bath
house, to the amount of $112,000. We
also remedied acoustic defects and
decorated the Auditorium.
"For 1017, city taxes were lowered
13 per cent or $480,000 less money
will be collected as city taxes this
year than during the previous year.
The success of no city depends upon
the sale of liquor, and Denver today
Is better oft than it was when saloons
were running."
OUT FOR PROHIBITION.
Quit your ease, forget your sorrow,
(live toduy and save tomorrow.
Come out, come out, come out for pro
hibition! Waste no more of wheat nnd barley,
Down with compromise and parley,
Come out, come out, come out for pro
hibition! Chorus:
We're out for prohibition! Hurrah!
Hurrah !
We're out for prohibition ! Yes, we're
out for prohibition !
Hurrah I Hurrah I We're out for pro
hibition! The rally song, of which the above
Is the first verse, was written by a
wblte-ribboner of Maine. It Is sung
to the stirring tune of "Dixie I" For
many years the W. C. T. U. sang It as
a solo; today It has become a swell
ing notional and International chorus.
BRANDED BY THE BREWERS.
The fools, fanatics and political
swashbucklers of the prohibition outi
fit who would persist in carrying out
their destructive alms under present
circumstances must be branded as ene
mies of this natlop. The Brewers'
Journal.
Who ore these fools and fanatics?
asks an nntl-llquor paper. They are,
It answers, the churches, the educn
tors, leading political economists, food
experts, farmers, cabinet members,
United States senators nnd congress
men, governors of states, social service
organizations, 00 per cent of the
worth while newspapers, nearly nil the
women of the country In fnct, every
body except those who profit financial
ly from the liquor traffic. "Some Job,"
says the prohibition paper, "for the ed
itor of the Brewers' Journal to brand
nil these."
WHY THE SALOON?
"The saloon exists not because roan,
by nature, must drink, but because by
proper Incentives he enn be mode to
drink, nnd there Is money In selling It
to him."
FAR BETTER. .
It Is better for a youth to be tied to
his mother's apron-strings than to be
loose In a ca.-or cabaret.
CONVENTIONS CHOOSE DRY CITY.
It was predicted by the wets that
Springfield, the dry capital of Illinois,
would lose its popularity as a conven
tion city. The prediction Is proving
false. Indeed, worth while conventions
are steering clear of drlpplng-wet Pe
oria and going to dry Springfield in
order to escape nny reflections upon
the character of their membership.

"I will be like the prodigal son. too,"
she replied, "for I shall arise and go to
