An investigation was un- dertaken at the urgent request of Florida grapefruit growers who re- ported that the maket during the season would not take up a large proportion of the grapefruit crop, and asked the department to deter- 'mine the possibility of utilizing the fruit or its juice in some profitable way. Al that is necessary, according to lists, is to bring the grapefruit juice to the boiling point in a porcelain- lined or enameled kettle, pour it while still hot into bottles, which then are hermetically sealed, The Jjuice when so handled will keep in- definitely, and provides a base for grapefruit-ade or other acid bever- ages having the characteristic acid, somewhat bitter, flavor of the fruit. ‘Experiments show, however, that it is highly important that the bhottle be completely filled so that no layer of air be left between the top of the Where air in any amount comes in contact with the top of the sterilized juice it will cause the juice to change its color. In handling the juice it is particularly important that it be kept from coming into contact with iron or other metals easily acted up- on by acids. The investigators found also that it was possible to freeze the grape- fruit juice to solid ice and then by whirling the jce in a centrifugal machine, to take out a large part of the water and leave the solids and flavoring matter of the fruit. This freezing and concentrating of the juice greatly reduces the bulk and makes a product which can be steri- lized by heating amd kept indefi- nitely. Care must be taken to keep the juice from coming in contact with iron. Those who wish to make a clear juice, may filter the grapefruit juice before it is heated by adding to it from two to three per cent. (about three ounces avordupois to the gallon) of infusorial or Fuller's earth well washed with hot water. The mixture is then forced through a non-metallic filter press and the clear juice reheated and boiled. With the freezing process, the juice is filtered after concentration, about twice the amount of infusorial or Fuller's earth being used lon of concentrate. The chemists, in connection with this bottling of grapefruit juice, notify the public that the same pro- cess is not suitable for bottling the juice of oranges and lemons, which will not retain their flavor if hand- led in this way. While as yet, as far as known, there is no commercial market for scterilized grapefruit juice, it is be- lieved that many persons will find this juice, with the addtion of water and sugar, a pleasant varia- tion from lemonade or Those who like grapefruit should find the beverages inviting. The method is so simple that those in re- glons where grapefruit are cheap and plentiful can prepare this pro- duct on a small scale with ordinary household appliances. per gal- limeade.

V. Brittain, one of the found- ers of the society and chairman of the London branch, made a speech in which he extolled the services of America in the groa"l war raging in Europe, which, in the work of Bel- ! gian relief won the war's greatest !victory and was a triumph of neu- | trality, “We have aporeciated the mag- nificent way in which America, without the need of any appeal, has come forward to help in every way | ‘the sick and suffering in Europe,” said Mr. Brittain. ““As individuals, in groups, and as a nation you have, put us under a debt of gratitude we fean never repay.

On the pledge of one American we have al- lowed to go into Belgium millions of dollars’ worth of food which would be of priceless military and other value to the Germans who oc- cupy the country. Mr. Hoover, in the name of the Commission tells us this will only go to the Belgians.

Cy Bartels slung the straps of his juggling kit over his shoulder, and started off from the great flaring white circus tent with a cheery whistle. “It's like beginning life all over again,” he soliloquized, “‘only I've got last month’s salary in my pocket. Ho, for the road and adventure! Wish I was a wandering minstrel. Aba! there’s a genuine one.” Open-hearted Cy paused to look up Into a tree and drink in the wild, sweet melody of a red-breasted robin, perch- ed on a high limb. He had not been always a circus juggler. Once he had been a prime violinist and had led an orchestra. Then he had drifted into the juggling art. The irresponsible life of the circus just suited him. So, for nearly a week Cy roved where he listed. The balmy air, the smiling flowers, the singing birds, lit- tle wayside meetings with this and ! that odd character enchanted him. One dark, lowering morning Cy left a little village on a ten mile tramp It had rained the night before, and at the tavern where he had bought his breakfast he was warned to post- pone his journey. “Oh, T like the rain. me grow!” he jubilated. Cy changed his mind, five miles ac- complished. He had never encoun- tered such a deluge. His clothing was soaked through. At a ford he had gone over his head in the water through a slip, and had barely rescued his precious juggling and musical out- fit. Tt will make ‘The road he was now pursuing was flooded clear over its center. There were dangerous ruts and quagmires. The downpour was incessant, and a ! i cold wind had come up that chilled him to the marrow. “I've got to get to shelter some- where,” mused Cy, and finally, upon a slight elevation at a distance, he made out a house. As he neared it, he discovered that a surging brook far over its banks iso- lated the place on three, sides. In front of it was a depression, now a perfect pond “There’s a barn behind the house,” he reflected. “I'll ask them to let me camp there until this storm lets up a little.” There was a deep ditech to cross, spanned by a board. The frail plank snapped in two as Cy balanced on its center. When he managed to get out of the water that had submerged him, he noticed on the porch of the house a neat-looking female, staring in con- cern at his unpleasant predicament. She beckoned to him urgently. As he neared her, the humorous aspect of the situation made his cheery face break into a smile. Then, as he looked upon a sweet-faced woman ot about twenty-five, still in the bloom of her beguty, he lifted his dripping cap and made his best stage bow. “Miss, T hope I do not trouble you, but if you would let me have shelter in the barn yonder for a spell—" “Oh, dear, no! Come right in through the hall to the kitchen, where there s a good warm fire,” invited the lady. “Never mind the wet. I can mop that up.’ “Why, it's like heaven and you are its ange!!” declared Cy sincerely, as he wiis greeted by the warm, comfort- able air of the kitchen' “We have a gardener here in sum- mer and I think you will find some of his clothes in the room overhead,” ex- plained the lady. “You can dry your own while you wear them.” Cy’s face wore a constant smile of happiness and contentment as the hours of the gloomy day wore on. His kind hostess provided a cheering meal. Then six little children came into the kitchen to inspect the stranger. Then Cy found out that his hostess was a Miss Mercy Walters. This was her little home. Each one of the children was a cripple. She explained that she had given her life to care for such homeless and friendless waifs. Soon Cy had the little group fas- cinated. He made them gape as he “ate fire,” as he sent a cascade of daz- zling metal balls into the air, as he swallowed a sword, and finally en- raptured them with music from his beloved violin. For three days he, with the others, was marooned. The gardener's room had been given him. He did all the chores about barn and garden Often and often he made Miss Walters smile at his quaint, frank heartiness. “I'd like to be a fixture,” he said to himself. “And Miss Merey,—no, 'd better get away before I find it too hard to leave here.” He followed out this resolution a week later. The little ones clung to him and wept at his departure. Miss Walters was strangely fluttered “If you would stay, 1 could afford to pay you something,” she ventured. “For a labor of fove—of love all around?” he cried, and she flushed deeply. “Miss Mercy, 1 would feel life a blessing to live it always helping you make these dear little ones hap- py." “Don’'t go” she said suddenly and brokenly, and her trembling hand rest- ed on his arm. “If 1 dared to think !hl( you would be glad to have me return,” he said, “before I put a momentous nuestion to you, T would do so. But only after 1 was sure the old drinking fever 1 have told you about would never trou- ble me again.” “Come back!™ she sald simply. e A well-kn . “KDOWDn metropolitan choral conductor was once holding voice trials preliminary to the organization of a colored choral club of jubilee singers.
