Wild grapes have the hest flavor for jelly and preserves. The experi- enced cook tries to gat wild grapes. Fortunately, if you live in the coun- try vou can get these, and sometimes with no more outlay than the time given to picking them. Gathering the grapes is simplified by the fact that ripe and unripe ones make the best combination. While it would be diffi cult to get bunches of wild grapes that had all matured at the sam time, getting mixed bunches is ea: The skins are thick and pulpy and the inside part is rich in flavor. Every portion except the seeds can be util- ized. Less sugar Is required than for currant Jelly with its acldity, and grape jelly can be substituted for cur rant to serve with meats. With sugar still high, this is a feature in favor of grape jelly. For Jelly and Jam. When jam is to be made from the pulp and skin of grapes the juice may be made into jelly.

A cup seven eighths full of sugar to one brimming full of grape juice is enough, though the old proportions stated are reliable. Let the juice come to a boil and then add the sugar that has been heated in the oven. Boil all together for 20 minutes, stirring until the sugar i dissolved and the liquid is clear.

PHILADELPHIA, September 6, 1776.—Congress has solved today the puzzle which Lord Howe set before it when he sent General John Sulli- van with a verbal invitation to mem- bers of Congress to call upon him ag private individuals with reference to an alleged peace proposal. It has accepted the invitation, but in a clever manner of its own planning, well designed to preserves the dignit of Congress and America. Its com- missioners to his Lordship were chosen today. They are Dr. Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and Edward Rutledge, three of its most skillful | diplomats. Thelr errand will be, not to listen to peace proposals, but to learn whether Lord Howe has any author- 1ty to hold peaca parleys with persons authorized by Congress to meet him, to learn what that authority is, and to hear such propositions he may think fit 10 make respecting a conference.

But Congress can, it will be observed, delegate three of its-most distinguish- ed members to learn first hand by what authority a British lord seeks an audience with the Congress of the United States, and it can in the same manner ask his Lordship what it is that he wants to say. So that is that as to America’s meth. | ods of diplomacy in dealing with Euro- | pean statesmen in these first days of the Republic. As to what will come of this conference, that is an- other matter. Nobody here expects anything to come of it. John Adams, loners, has ealled Howe's proposal “the most insidious, though ridiculous message you can conceive.” John Witherspoon of New Jersey fears that any approval of the scheme is almost a certain forerun ner of disgrace.

Once, however, this is successfully combated there is nothing to indicate that they will not attain a healthy maturity.

When these defects are noticed in early davs, attempts should be made at once to eradicate them, so that, when they grow up. they will not he a nuisance to everyhody and a trouble to themselves.

HOME NOTES BY JENNY WREN, manufacture The virtues of white woodwork for the Colonial living room are well known to all of us, but there is an- other opportunity for the effective use ijof white in such a room that is little appreciated. That is the use of white furniture. In the old days Windsor ———— chairs were almost never seen in nat- ural wood finish, but were always painted. A Windsor chair or two, painted white, would make a pictur- esque touch to complete the fireplace group in such a room as the one shown here. The little built-in bench, aleo painted white, is another théught for the Colonial fireplace group. This fireplace is admirable for the simplicity of its overmantel treatment. Two little silhouettes in black frames— two slender candlesticks of gleaming brass—two tiny bowls of blue Chinese porcelain—and a slender vase of cop- per luster make a pretty and colorful ing.

G Discusses Advantages of Modern Schools It Will Broaden Her Whole Life, Increase Her Health in Mind and Body and Give Her Valued Interchange of Ideas. THIE is the time of vear when the average mother begins to lie awake of nights trying to settle the school problem for her daughters, and when she is likely to think rather enviously of the halcyon days when a girl's edu- cation consisted in acquiring a fine copper-plate chirography and learning to make hair flowers. Fortunately for the world, those days are, indeed, of the past. Nobody now denies a girl the right to an education or questions her need for it, and S0 the matter resolves itself into the problem of ways and means,.of the rela- tive merits of public schools and private schools, of tutors and governesses at home and colleges abroad. ‘The selection of a school for a girl is difficult. Picking out a husbdnd for her is not a more delicate matter or one that will affect her happiness and usefulness more. A girl's school days are the formative ones of her life. They make her traditions, they form her ideals and set their ineffaceable seal upon her, Many elements must necessarily enter into the selection of a school. The girl's social rank and wealth, her bent of mind. her purpose in life, whether she intends to enter a profession or not, all deserve consideration; but the most important thing of all and the one that outweighs thém all is the asso- ciation to which the girl will be subjected. Never send a girl to school to a woman who is not a refined gentle- woman, for any education, no matter how brilliant a scholar it leaves & woman, no matter how it cultivates her intellect, is a rank failure if it does not make her a lady. £ Another thing is the absolute necessity that a child should be interesfed. Any girl who is not a candidate for the school for the feeble-minded will be interested in her studies if they are properly presented to her mind. If school is a bore, it is the teacher's fault, and her parents do well to keep changing schools until they find some instructor who has the heart and brain and enthusiasm to kindle the love of learning in the youthful mind. Teachers are as truly born, not made. as poets. and it is one of the mis- fortunes of society that the calling which should he a sacred mission is so often followed merely as a profession. .. F THE advantages of sending girls off to boarding school there can be no discussion. The boarding school was ordained by an All-Wise and Merci- ful Providence. for the regeneration and salvation of the spoiled and indulged American girl, and it is the greatest missionary of sweetness and light in the world. Of course, the chief advantage in sending a girl off to school is that it gives her the atmosphere of study which all brain workers find 8o es Iy 'S sential to their li'esl achievements. At home there are a thousand dlgtravflnn!—-“alls and parties, theaters, the coming and going of company—that fil her mind with eager anticipation of the times when she will, t0o, be of the' gay world. even if she is not already permitted to dip in it, while at school there is nothing to break the her books. quiet round of studious days or woo her attention from Another advantage of the hoarding school is that it broadens a girl's whole life.

Such people cannot com- prehend, until they have been told 47 times, that no remedy or treatment can be guaranteed to cure anything. You see these folk know so many things which ain't so, and among these things they know that manv remedies or treatments come with a written or printed guarantee. An- other thing they know. m that all sorts of nostrums, good and bad, have carried on the label thése man; the misleading, tricky ‘legend: anteed under the foods and drugs act, June 30, 1906.” The Government, in these deceptive words, aids and abets the profitable business of defrauding the public, This is the impressive “‘guarantee™ of the goiter treatment alluded to, a document printed in gold and blue and adorned with a serial number and a blue and yellow ribbon: “If after taking our treatment eight months in the manner recom- mended by ue, and our suggestions in regard to the treatment have heen followed out: and if you have written one letter every 10 days telling us of your condition and have net obtained satisfactory resuits; we, the under- signed, do hereby agree to extend the time of your treatment, until we are convinced that we cannot obtain satisfactory results for you. and 8o on, until the poor simple prospeet signs on the dotted line in sheer daze. And a Michigan lawyer can't convince the concern that his client did not obtain satisfactory results—so what chance has the man who purchases the “treatment? . This “‘guarantee” would be funny if it were not for the seriousness of the harmful effects of the didguised indide of sodium and potash in the “treatment.” It resembles the “‘guar- antee”/of the old time quack who used to give his dupes a signed agree- ment to treat ‘em “until cured’—as long as they kept paying in the week- ly or monthly stipend for the “treat- ment."” BRADY, M.

Not in the letter of the law, nor even in the spirit of the law in this country, but in all reason and fair- ness, it is presumptive evidence of humbug when anybody does pretend to guarantee anything to cure any- thing.

So, she was going to marry that Cornell man. Amos had seen him only once, and for some rea- son that he couldn't explain had taken a dislike to him.
