Short ,a ,►<ill Jelly
Modern Honse'vives Do Not
I Cook Fresh Fruit Away
to Make It Jell
Modern housewives seek continually,
for time, -.labor and money -saving de-
vices. That le why this short boil
method of making jams and jellies
has become so popular among good
housekeepers. Even when fruits rich
in ,pectin aro Used for jelly, house-
wives find that the addition of bottled
pectin mattes more jelly in a .shorter
time than the old -method of boiling
down the fruit to concentrate the,pec-
tin for jelly.
"I made cherry jam and red currant
jetty yesterday afternoon," sad a To
ronto.woman ata luncheon recently.
"Not all In 00e afternoon," protest-
ed a hour4wife of the old school.
"Why certainly, and if I bad been
sensible and used the short boil meth-
od for the currants as well as for the
cherries, I would have been able to
go golfing. I pitted the cherries and
made cherry ripe jam while the cur-
rants were boiling t down in the 0111
manner to concentrate the pectin And
I have much nicer jam by ,the short
boil method than jelly by the long
boil."
Red currant jelly made in the mod-
ern way gives almost twice 'as many
jars of sparkling jelly as the long boil
method does. The recipe requires only'
four pounds of red.currants. Crush
these thoroughly and add 1 clip of
water. Stir until the mixture boils,
cover and simmer 10 minutes. Drip
through jelly bag, Measure 6 cups
Juice into a large saucepan and bring
to a boll. Add slowly 7 cups of sugar,
with constant stirring, taking about
6 minutes to add the sugar, keeping
juice nearly at boil. Then bring to a
boil and at once add % cup of bottled
pectin. Bring again to _a full rolling
boil and boil i/a minute. Remove from
fire, let•stand 1 minute, shim and pour
quickly. Cover hot jelly with a filen
of hot paraffin. When jelly is cold,
cover with 1.8 inch of hot paraffin.
Roll glass to spread paraffin on sides.
This recipe makes about 10 to 11 eight

the doctor meditated, completely ig-

the face of it, it might mean that you
are indifferent to all else but Sheila's

it might mean that you hoped above

first interpretation is the correct one,"
"I don't know what I meant I" Don'
hand was flung out in a gesture o8
angry impatience. "I don't feel much
like entering on a discussion of gram-
mar."
"Oh, but it sometimes matters quite
a lot --quite A lot," the doctor mur-
mured.

populations of virtually all countr#eee.
The same thing still happens in some
of tete more backward countries like
India or China. The first result of the
modern conquest of famine in civil-
ized countries is a sudden increase o8
population, such as occurred 11a virtual•
ly the whole civilized world during the
first half of the last century. Since

Arthur and Willie were playing
noisily, though peacefully, when Wil-

home to dinner.
She had just turned to the
house when her boy threw a stone that
sent Arthur howling in the direction
of home.
"Willie," she demanded, sternly,
"wh did you throw that stone at
Arthur?"
For a moment Willie stood abashed,
watching the flight of his playmate:.
Then he sighed deeply,
