Now for Some
Jellies
By LORETTO C. LYNCH.
Of course, every housewife is put
ting" up some jelly right now. Some
are having failures and ask why, oh
why, must we waste both supar and
lruit until wc achieve success?
But you must not necessarily
have failures with your very first
jelly it you make cmain ot some
very definite things before you begin.
In the first place you must have the
proper utensils for making the jelly.
An agate, granite or enameled pot
should be used.
Tin or iron is prohibited because
it causes certain .discoloration of the
jelly and also because it may form
a poisonous combination with the
acid of the fruit. Then the' pot
should have a smooth bottom on the
inside. A new pot is ideal. If the
bottom' of the pot " is rough 'or
chipped the fruit may adhere to it,
causing a burned taste throughout.
You will need either an enameled
or wooden spoon for stirring. If
your wooden spoon is new soak it
in lard or oil over night and then
scrub it. This will prevent to a de
cided extent discoloration.
A measuring cup of the standard
half pint size or better, the quart
measure will be found practical. For
a small quantity of home-made jelly
it seems unnecessary to' invest in a
scale. But one needs a jelly bag.

Mv advice to beginners is, try a
small quantity at first. In the case
of grapes put about four bunches
into the cookpot after they have been
iinsed and picked from the stems.
f.ny fruit for jelly is better a little
uncierripe than overripe. Crush the
ura pes until the juice flows. Then
uk uil the seeds fall out. x I urn
fie fruit into a bag previously wrung
out of hot water and let the juice
drip until it stops. Measure the
juice and add an equal quantity or
only three-fourths as much sugar as
juice. Boil together, removing the
scum as it rises, until a little dropped
on a cold plate slightly hardens.
With this small quantity th$ jelly
stage is reached after above five min
ute's of actual cooking. ... .
When the jelly stage is rjc1ied.
dip a heavy glass into boilmifwater
and stand it on a towel wrung out
in hot water. Dip a silver spln
into hot water and place it in the
glass. This helps to prevent break
age. Pour the jelly into the glass,
remove the spoon and set the glass
aside until the jelly is hard.
With this success upon your
hands, you will be ready to start in
with a "larger quantity. But do not
fall into the mistake of trying to
make too much at once. The aver
age home is not properly equipped
to rakc apything in the preserving
line in large quantity. Rather take
several: days at your jell-making
and give 'your undivided attention to
the small job in hand ,at a time.
It is a substance called pectin in
fruit that causes jelly to stiffen upon
cooking. Many women try to make
jelly fron certain fruits that contain
either little or no pectin. The re
sult is failure. To add this pecfln
making element to fruits lacking
it is sometimes effected by adding
the white, pulpy part of'a few lem
ons the part lying between the fruit
itself and the yellow outside skin.
The common fruits containing pec
tin (the jelly making element) are
currants, grapes, cranberries, apples,
crab apples, quinces and blackber
ries. But any one may find out if a
fruit contains pectin by a very sim
ple experiment. Put a little of the
raw fruit juice you wi:;to to test into
a small glass. Add a little alcohol
from the chafing dish lamp. Let
this stand, and if the fruit juice con
tains the jelly making element,
substance resembling gelatin wil
arise to the top. As fruit ripens, i
loses some of its pectin, and there
fore does not make such desirabh
jelly.- It is a good experiment
therefore, to try, it you are at
in doubt of your - fruit. For no
amount of time or material or
trouble will make jelly for you un
less pectin is present.
Various fruits, rich in pectin, may
be combined with those lacking it.
For instance, apples may be com
bined with peaches.
The hard fruits, like apples and
quinces, should be cut into pieces,
skin, seeds, core and all. and cooked
with a very little water to prevent
burning., Then they may be turned
into the bag. .
Apple jelly may be colored with a
few cranberries or grapes 01 the
leaf of a rose geranium may b put
into the glass just before pcAinng
in the jelly. The leaf will float to
the top, when it should be removed.
Mint may be utit into apple jelly in
much the same manner.
Make some jelly, if only it is but
a few glasses.
Your Gas Range.
A trae ranee needs constant care.
Close watch should be kept over the .
burners. Dust collects and clogs
the holes. When this happens the
full amount of gas is not consumed
and the unburned gas is wasted.
If the openings to regulate the
amount of air are cldgged with dust
the gas is also wasted and the name
is not as hot as should be. A stiff
whisk broom cleans all the openings
quite thoroughly. - '. ,

Washday on Tuesday
Did you ever consider the advisa
bility of making Tuesday the wash
day instead of Monday?
If you wash on Tuesday, washing
loses some of its hardship. Monday
can be used as a day of preparation.
On Monday one could do the
mending. A patch that has to be
"set" on1 a freshly ironed garment
musses the garment and means extra
work in pressing. If the patch is
applied Monday it is then washed
and ironed as one with the garment
and shows much less.
Tiny holes become bigger in the
washing. If these holes are mended
before there is any risk of catching
them and tearing them, many
stitches may be saved.
