measure the juice and allow an
equal quantity of heated granulated
sugar, then boil another few minutes
until it jellies in a saucer. Too
much cooking darkens the color.
When the jelly is cold, pour melted
paraffin wax over the surface about
a half-inch deep. This will keep the
jelly from molding. Cherries,
gooseberries, currants and grapes
may all be done by this process.
If one has more fruit than is
wanted for canning or preserving,
much of it can be made into fruit
juices, and canned the same as the
fruit, sealing it tightly, using no
sugar.
If the jelly refuses to "jell" after
standing a few days, add a pint of
apple juice to each three pints of
jelly and boil until it'will "jell" in
a saucer. Jellies that do not harden
readily will set more quickly if kept
in the sunshine several hours every
day for a while, and they will keep
much better. "When sunning the
jelly, the paraffin must be removed,
and can be melted and poured over
the pot again when the juice is
hardened. If one has tin covers for
the jelly glasses, it is well, but the
paraffin will protect the jelly.

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled' By His Own Case
For a Time.
It's easy to understand how ordi
nary people get fooled by coffee
when doctors themselves sometimes
forget the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex
perience:
"I had used coffee for years and
really did not exactly believe it was
injuring me although I had palpita
tion of the heart every day. (Tea
contains caffeine the same drug
found in coffee and is just as harm
ful as coffee.)
"Finally one day a severe and
almost fatal attack of heart trouble
frightened me and I gave up both tea
and coffee, using Postum instead and
since that time I have absolutely no
heart palpitation except on one or
two occasions when I tried a small
quantity of coffee which caused
severe irritation and proved to me
I must let it alone.
"When we began using Postum
it seemed weak that was because
we did not make it according -to
directions but now we put a little
bit of butter in the pot when boiling
and allow the Postum to boil full 15
minutes which gives it the proper
rich flavour and the deep brown
color.
"I have advised a great many of
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact I
daily give this advice." Name given
by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
Many thousands of physicians use
Postum in place of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe it to
patients.
"There's a reason," and it is ex
plained in the little book, "The Road
to Wellville," in pkgs.

new one appears from time to time.

human interest.
mustard, sugar and pepper, and one
raw egg well beaten. Add, a little
at a time, a cupful of thick cream,
alternating with two tablespoonfuls
each of lemon juico and vinegar,
beating constantly all the while.
Add the chopped whites of tho boiled
eggs.
French Tomato Salad Remove
the skins from as many smooth, ripe
tomatoes as necessary; cut in halves
and arrange carefully on a platter
or glass dish almost smothered in
chopped -ice. Leave in tho sauce
dish a' dressing made of one-half of
a cup of light brown sugar, one cup
of vinegar, with salt and pepper to
taste; as each plate of the tomato is
served, pour some of the dressing
over it, as the tomato loses its flavour
when the dressing remains on any
length of time.
Chicken Salad One quart of
chicken meat, cooked and chopped;
three tablespoonfuls of vinegar; one
tablespoonful of oil, one generous
teaspoonful of salt, one-half tea
spoonful of pepper; one pint of
chopped celery; mayonnaise dress
ing. Take the skin from the
chicken, remove fat and bones and
chop; put one quart of tho meat in
a bowel with a marinade made by
mixing vinegar, oil, salt and popper;
stir well and place in the refrigera
tor for. an hour or more. Cut in
thin slices enough of tho white,
tender nart of celery to make a
generous pint; wash this in cold
water and put it in the refrigerator
.with pieces of ice on top; at serving
time remove the ice and drain all
the water from tho celery; mix the
celery with the chicken, add half a
pint of mayonnaise dressing; ar
range tho salad in a bowl or flat
dish; mask it with half a pint of
mayonnaise and garnish with some
of the blanched celery leaves.
Health Notes v
It is recommended to add a little
salt to all foods for sick people, and
to use fruit juices, especially that of
pineapple, lemon, and unfermonted
grape juice to correct the tendency to
putrefactive intestinal charges al
ways present in invalids. Fruit
juices should not be given with the
food, but an hour or so alter meals.
Weak coffee, without milk or
sugar, or with a dash of milk, may
be taken usually without any dis
agreeable after effects; coffee taken
clear is claimed to aid digestion, but
with milk and sugar, it often has a
disturbing effect.
In case of mumps, little treatment
is required beyond confinement to the
house and the administration of a
simple purgative. Because of the
impossibility of mastication, the
patient is compelled to live on a
"slop" diet, but for a delicate per
son, a good broth is necessary. Hot
fomentations and bran poultices
should be applied to the swellings
when priinful. Care must be taken
not to allow the patient to take cold.
While measles is regarded as an
ailment easily cared for with many,
one should' not forget the danger of
its complications, the liability to eye
and ear difficulties, or lung or throat
troubles, and these very often end in
death, loss of sight or hearing, or
leave an impaired condition which
readily tends to tuberculosis. In even
mild cases, there is danger, and care
should be taken to prevent the pa
tient catching cold. Keep in a warm
room, with simple diet and keep the
excretory avenues open.
Disease
Disease and ugliness enter the
body through three channels bad
thoughts, bad air and bad food. By
bad thoughts is meant idle, foolish,
vain, envious, peevish, scolding
moods, which actually poison the
blood and show physical evidence in
sallowness, headaches, wrinkles,
pimples and disorders of the nerves.
By bad air, closo, unvcntilated
rooms by day and by night, impor
fect breathing, tight corsets, sleep
ing closo to others, breathing their
exhalations, and a dread of drafts.
By bad food, is meant not only food
which is indigestible, but wrong
combinations of foods; eating too
fast, imperfect mastication, eating
indigestible spices, candies, fats, and
trashy things that have no food
value, as well as eating too much or
too little. Medical Magazine
Purco of Dried Red Iicnns
