FRUITS OF THE SEASON
V
t
BEST AND MOST PRACTICAL
METHODS OF USING.
Proper Way to Prepare Delicious Red
Currant Jelly—Cherry and Raisin
Conserve—Raspberry Cream
Whip—Currant Ice.
Sugared currants can be easily
made by dipping them first in write
of egs and then into powdered sugar
The sugar can be spiced if cesired.
A few drops of currant juice left
•ver from preserving, added to lem
onade, give it a delicious flavor.
Red Currant Jelly.—Put the cur
iants in a granite ware kettle, crush
into a few to prevent sticking. Add no
water. Put the kettle on the fire and
heat until ail the fruit has burst. Take
from the fire, strain through a sieve
and drip through a jelly bag wrung
out of hot water. Measure the juice
and return to the fire, bringing it to
the boiling point. Add sugar in the
proportion of one pound and one
fourth to one pint of juice. Bring
again to the boiling point and pour
into glasses.
bptced Lu rants.— l se seven pounus
af fruit, four pounds of sugar, one
pint of vinegar, one tablespoonfjl
each of cinnamon and cloves, one nut
meg grated, one teaspoonful of all
spice. Let it boil for two hours.
Cherry and Raisin Conserve.—This
conserve is made with three pounds
of sour-cherties (pitted), four |>ounds
of sugar, tojr oranges (seeded and
chopped), two pounds of raisins (seed
ed and chopjied). Steam the raising
for 20 minutes, add all together and
boit for 20 minutes longer. Put this
in glasses an dseal them.
Raspberry Cream Whip.—Sprinkle a
quart of red raspbenies (or red rasp
berries and ' blackcaps" may be used
in equal quantities if preferred! with
a heaping cupful of powdered sugar
Allow them to stand until a thick
syrup is formed, then press them on
two cupfuls cf cream that has been
whipped until it is solid; keep this
constantly duiing th,e process. Place
this in the upper part of the icebox
to thoroughly chill, and just before
serving add a cupful of meringue
made from the whites of two eggs,
beaten with half a cupful of confec
’loner's sugar. Served heaped in
pyramidal form on a round of frosted
angel cake.
Raspberry and Currant Jam.—Crush
the desired amount of fruit, using
equal parts of raspberries and cur
rants. Also use equal proportions (in
weight) of sugar and berries. Com
bine the sugar with the berries and
bring this slowly to the boiling point
to preserve scorching. Boil until thick
and clear. Place in sealed glass con
tainers.
Clarified Syrup.
French recipes sometimes call for
clarified syrup. Here is Francateili's
method of preparing it: To every
pound of the finest loaf sugar add
rather more than a pint of water
When the sugar is dissolved add hall
the white of an egg whipped up in
a little water. Whisk the whole to
gether, set the stew pan on the firs
and as soon as the syrup begins to
boil set it down where it will cook
more slowly. Let it simmer gently un
til all the scum rises to the top. Re
move all as it rises, and on removing
fr>m the fire strain through a napkin
Keep it in a cool place for use in mat
ing jelly and sweets.

and one lemon, then wash them and ,
wipe dry. Cut into quarters. Cut :
the quarters through, peel and pulp •

ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLES
Wathena. Kan.—“My child's scalp
trouble became so bad that I was
ashamed to have anyone see him. His
head had a solid scab on it. He also
had a terrible breaking out on his face
which was gradually growing worse.
The eruption was like pimples which
developed into Eores when he scratch
ed. which he did almost constantly.
Baby would almost scratch himself
raw.
“I had used several different kinds
of salve, none of them helping in the
least bit. when I saw the Cuticura ad
vertisement in the paper and it made
me think of the good results my sister
had w hen she used It for her children.
I had only used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about two weeks before I
noticed that the sores were almost en
tirely gone, and it must have been a
month or six weeks he was troubled
before I began the treatment. He
would get easy when I would put the
Cuticura Ointment on him. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment completely cured
him and he has a clear complexion
now.” (Signed) Mrs. W. H. Hughes,

Child's Popularity Explained.
A winning lottery ticket of $100,
000, in connection with the Nobles
Bank was recently presented for
payment at the Stkte Bank in St
Petersburg, and it now transpires
that the owner is an eight-year-old
orphan, an Inmate of the orphanage
at Pskoff. The lottery ticket was her
sole possession. Her relatives have
hitherto done nothing for the child,
but when the news of her good for
tune became known they were one
and all eager to adopt her. The au
thorities have placed her in the
charge of an arch-priest, a distant
connection of her father.

German Farmer Good Business Man.
Vnder a seemingly generous offer
i of hospitality, a North German farm
! er has managed to include a good j
stroke of business for himself. In a
Hanover paper recently appeared an
an advertisement that from fifteen to
twenty women and girls (not under
twelve years of age) who needed re
cuperation could have free board and
lodging on a country estate. But in J
exchange they would be required to !
pick pease from eight to ten hours
daily, industrious pickers might aiso
be paid cash for their labor.
Collective Housekeeping.
An English paper tells of an experi
ment in collective housekeeping in
, w hat is known as Brent Garden vil
lage. The dwelling houses contain al!
improvements except a kitchen. Meals
for everybody are cooked at a cen- j
tral hali. and may either be eaten !
there or sent home. A four-course
dinner costs only 1 shilling and 6 j
pence. Servants are supplied, when
needed, from the central hall at a
cost of about ten cents an hour.
Instead of liquid antiseptics, tablets
and peroxide, for toilet and medicinal
uses, many people prefer Paxtine,
which is cheaper and better. At drug
