THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 13, 1U21. 11 Fruit for the Winter. By LORETTO C. LYNCH. Although the days may be warm, Wie thrifty housewife should be on the lookout for bargains m summer fruits. A few hours a week spent in preserving will more than repay when the cold days rome again. Berries a little over ripe may be made into jam. For the so-called quart-box of berries, allow one-half measuring cups of sugar. Prepare and mash the berries. Add the sugar, but no water. Cook slowly in an agate or aluminum pot until thick. About 20 minutes is required to make jam of one quart of berries. Larger quantities require longer. Raspber is come to the market, especially in the east, in halt-quart of a measuring cup of sugar will be enough for one of these small baskett of berries. The time of cooking, also, may be shortened. Soft peaches or plums may be made into satisfactory jams. The skin and stones should be removed and the pulp cut and measured. Generally three cups of peaches or plums require about one cup of sugar and one-fourth cup water. Damsons those tiny little sour plum-like fruits may be made into jam with the skins on. If time is no object, .the stones may be removed. Being sour, two cups of sugar may be used to three cups of fruit tightly jacked. One-fourth cup of water is about right for this quantity. When the jam is ready pour it into glasses or small crocks, previ ously dipped into boiling water. The glasses may be put into cold water which is brought to the boiling point. When the jam is cold melt some parafine in the top of a double boiler and pour it to the thickness 'of one-fourth of an inch over the jam. When the wax has hardened scrape and clean the glass, cover, label and store in a cool place away from the light. Light causes the color of fruit in glass to change and thus detracts from the appearance, but not the quality, of the product. Jelly differs from jam in that the fruit is strained. The element es sential to jelly-making is pectin. Therefore, they are desirable fruits from which to make jelly especial ly one's first jelly. . The currants should be washed, but need not necessarily be picked from the stems. Mash and add no water. Cook until very soft. , Turn into a jelly bag previously wrung out of hot water. Allow the juice to drip by its own weight. Measure the juice. Add three-fourths as much sugar as you have juice. Cook together until a little dropped on a very cold plate just holds its shape. No time can be suggested as the length of time one must cook the product before it reaches the jelly stage depends upon such as the feather, the wateriness of the fruit, accuracy in proportioning the sugar to the juice and "the quantity being cooked at one time.t Apple juice combines well with many of the fruits lacking in pectin. For instance, it is almost impossible to, make jelly -ifnwu . Hie skin of peaches. Women who can peaches whole often attempt Jo make jelly r f TUIo fori Km Afrt ironi xnc sfciuo. i$ a, goodly proportion of cut-up sour green apples is added to the water in with the peach parings. - Apple jelly may be flavored with garden mint. It is a novel jelly to serve with cold lamb. A rose geranium may be washed and placed in the bottom of the. glass before plain apple jelly is poured in. When it floats to the top remove it. It leaves a delightful perfume and flavor through the sometimes tame product. v- Making Picnic Coffee Campfire cookery is not easy, but anyone can make picnic coffee. The only essentials are a fire, a coffee pot, coffee md water. If you have never tried it you will be surprised to see how small a fire you can get along with. The story is told of the president of a well known college who prided himself on Jiis skill as a camper and once made a wager that he could make coffee for two with no other fuel than the copy of a New York newspaper. He won his wager, although he had to use a Sunday paper to do it. The secret of making coffee outdoors is to con serve your heat so that it is concen trated on the coffee pot. - Build your little fire between two big stones placed about eight or 10 inches apart. On the tops of the stones lay a makeshift gridiron on which to set the coffee pot. Two small iron bars will answer the pur pose and it is worth while seeing that your equipment includes these be cause they save a lot of time and trouble. ., Prepare for your coffee making before the picnic by grinding the coffee and tying it up loosely ip a muslin bag. Grind it fine, about as fine as corn meal, and allow a heap ing tablespoonful for each cup to be served. , After your fire is going well, set on the coffee pot with the proper quantity of water, allowing an extra cupful for evaporation and absorp tion by the grounds. When the water comes to a boil drop in your muslin bag of coffee, then remove the pot from the direct flame so the boiling will cease, but leave it near enough to the fire so that it will keep piping hot until ready to serve. If the water is boiling hard when the coffee is added, the brew should be ready to drink in five minutes. Lacking in orthodox coffee pot, you can make coffee just as good in a sauce-pan or any vessel that will hold water and stand heat. Be care ful, however, not ' to use a utensil that allows the brew to come in con tact with iron or steel. When liquid coffee touches these metals it under goes a chemical change which turns it black. This is what happens when coffee is brewed in a vessel from which the tin or aluminum or enamel is worn so as to expose the steel foundation. , . Another word of caution to the camper the coffee pot should be washed clean after each using and scrubbed as carefully as- any other cooking" vessel.

DOWNING. The glamor of the name of Roose velt still continues to make Repre sentative Nicholas Longworth, who married Miss Alice, elder daughter of the former president, an object cf much popular curiosity. Visitors to the galleries of the house of repre sentatives never fail to ask that Mr. Longworth be pointed out. If vis itors to the senate gallery but knew it, they could, as a usual thing, lwk upon Mrs. Longworth herself, for she is one of the indefatigable at tendants on the debates in the smaller chamber. She has frequent ly explained that she listens to sen ate proceedings rather than to the house merely because she car. hear better,' and because the procedure is less evolved and mac closely to be followed. Mrs. Longworth has the reputa tion of being an astute politician, and one who can converse on the fine points of legislation and predict things which conic true. Years ago she achieved the distinction of being one of the best gowned women in Washington. Mrs. Longworth, din ing her father's occupancy of the White House, and for years after took little interest in affairs of state. It is only since the war that she be gan to study politics, national and international. As a five-minnte speaker in favor of Liberty bonds Mrs. Longworth made her debut be fore the public, and very soon she developed a crisp, original way of placing her arguments which won her instant recognition. She won her laurels and this year has seen Mrs. Longworth an earn est,, faithful student of politics as played in the legislative halls. She goes to the capitol every morning with Mr. Longworth, but leaves him at the house' entrance and proceeds to the, senate galleries. She has several cards to the private galleries, Senator Knox having made over a seat permanently since Mrs. Knox rarely attends the sessions. Mrs. Longworth passes most of the after noon listening to the addresses, fre quently makes notes and is always provided with the Congressional Record of the day previous. Along about 2:30 or 3 o'clock Mr. Long worth saunters in and the two go to luncheon, sometimes with friends on the senate side, but more fre quently in the house cafe. Much curiosity has been ex pressed as to the real reason for Mrs. Longworth's daily and pro longed visits ta the senate. She denies that she is shaping a career and seems perfectly content that Mr. Longworth should wear the laurels for the family and that young Theo dore should gather them for the Roosevelts.' Mrs. Longworth has spent four-fifth of her life in Wash ington, coming here a small child, when her father was civil service commissioner, and returning' in her j opening teens when lie was assist ant secretary of the navy. She was just 17 when Theodore Roosevelt became president, and her debut, un disputed leadership and brilliant mar riage are all part of ashmgton s social history. Raspberry Dessert. Raspberry Whip. 4 Simplest of all raspberry desserts is raspberry whip. This calls for the white of eggs beaten very light, sweetened to taste with powdered sugar and flavored with the fresh juice of crushed raspberries. It should be mixed just before serving. Raspberry Charlotte Russe. Raspberry charlotte russe calls for one quart of . fresh raspberries, a dozen lady fingers, one ounce of gela tine, one cupful of powdered sugar and a pint of thick cream whipped stiff and sweetened to taste. The lady fingers should be split and placed in a tin mould "which has been lined with white paper. Now soak the gelatine in a cup of cold water and when soft place over the fire to dissolve. Let the gelatine mixture cool and add to the juice of the quart of raspberries and one cup of powdered sugar. Now add the whipped cream and pour the mixture into tlje mould and place on the ice for two or three hours before serv ing. Raspberry Cakes. A delicious baked dessert calls for one pint of red raspberries. Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar and when they have stood for an hour drain off a cup of juice. Now make a batter with two tablespoons of butter, a half cup of granulated sugar, the berry juice, one and a half cups of flour into which has been sifted a teaspoon of baking powder and the beaten whites of two eggs. Bake in muffin tins and serve with crushed raspberry sauce. 1 Make the sauce this way from the raspberries left from the juice: Add one cupful of water and boil for five minutes. Beat the yolks cf two eggs very light and add a scant cup of sugar, strain the boiling juice over the egg mixture and stir in a double boiler until the sauce is thick as cream. Campaign Against Maternity Death Rate An obstetrical advisory board to the Visiting Nurse association in cluding Drs. C. W. Tollard, Ralph II. Luikart, W. II. Taylor, Earl Sage, F. T. Murphy and S. McClcnc ghen was appointed Thursday at a meeting of these physicians and Mrs. AV. J. Hynes, president of the Vis iting Nurse association; Mrs. Her bert Rogers, honorary president and Miss Florence McCabe, director of nurses. Members of this new board will aid in the campaign which is being conducted throughout the country to reduce the number of deaths of mothers and babies, which, according to Miss McCabe, has been increas ing since 1918. "Medical and welfare authorities are at a loss to account for this fearful loss," declares Miss McCabe. "Some attribute it to the after effects of the influenza epidemic. What ever its cause, a nation-wide effort is to be made to check it. "With ,the development of infant welfare work, we thought our prob lem was being solved," continued Miss McCabe. "Now we find we must go further back and start with the mother it we are to get at the root of maternal and infant mortal ity." The death rate "from child birth is second only to tuberculosis, accord ing to Miss McCabe. Of 17 leading nations compiling statistics, the United States is highest in its infant and maternity rate. .Only Spain ranks higher. An intensive campaign will be car ried on in Omaha to save mothers through prenatal instruction. An ex periment of 11 months has been con ducted by the Visiting Nurse associa tion in affiliation with "the Creighton and Nebraska dispensaries, where prenatal clinics are held for exam ination and consultation if the pa tient cannot afford to consult private physician. The expectant mother is urged to come, to the clinic for a complete physical examination. The nurse will visit' at her home at frequent inter vals, follows up her physical plan for confinement, will aid her in get ting together the necessary things and in every way will try to provide physical and mental comfort and as sistancc during this period.
