'€, Mt.y S—Any body who is able to can vegetables can make grapé juice,:/says.a new publication: of ‘the United States de- partment of agriculture, -Farmers* Bul- Jetin 644. The principle is the same in_both cases-~the sterilization of the product before it is stored away. In case of grape juice, this, sterilization preévents the fermentation which™ in making wine turns the grape sugar Into alcohol. Friday, May 6,9 A. M.

If these are killed, no fer- mentation is possible. * They. can be killed in two ways, but one, the ad- dition of antiseptics, is not possible in the case of any article:intended for human consumption, because the antiseptics themselves are -injurious. The other methad, killing them Dby heat, is the one used in the pas. teurization of milk, and is equally simple - and practicable with . grape juice.’ Practical tests indicate that grape juice is satisfactorily pasteur- ized without appreciable 'change of flavor when it is heated to a tem- perature varying from 160 degrees to 176 degrees F. If the temperature is allowed to reach 200 degrees F., the flavor of the juice is changed for the worse, = ¥or Home Use.

Tel. 549 grape, however, only eclean, sound fruit should be used and it .noura be well ripened, but not overripe, grapes should first be crushed lnd pressed in an ordinary cider-mill if the farm possesses one, or by hand it no mill is available. The subse- quent procédure depends upon whether & white or a red juice is desired. For a light calored juice, the crushed! grapés are put in a cloth sack and twisted until the greater part of the jufe is extracted, one person holding each end of the sack. The juice isl then put in some convenient form of double boiler in which it does not come into direct contact withthe fire but is sutrounded by hot water, and gradually heated to & temperature close to 200 degrees F. As has al-! ready been said, however, it should naot beé allowed to go over this point, If no thermometer is available, it is best to heat the juice until it steams and then to take it from the fire be- fore it is allowed to boil. It should then be poured inte a glass or en- ameled vessel and allowed to settle for twenty-four hours, after which it can be drained from the sediment and | run through some form of cloth fil- ter, The strained juicé {s then put into clean batles and stérilized once more in a water bath. ~ An’ordi- nary wash. boiler with a thin board on the bottom for the filled bottles to rest on is a convenient home de. | Vice for this purpose. After steri- lization the bottles should be corked | immediately with new corks, the corks having been previously soaked for| about: thirty minutes in ‘hot water. '" Should 'Be Bottled. For red juice, the erushed g‘rapes, are first heated to the same temper- ! ature as before and then strained|) through & clean cléth or drip bag| without pressure. Thereafter, the pracess is the same ag for light col- ored juice, Grape juice should be stored away in bottles or jars that are mnot too large, for after these have been opened the juice is likely to spoil. If properly made, haowever, the juice should keep indefinitely as long as it is kept in sealed bottles. In this respect it is, of course, like other canned goods, which should always be used as soon as8 possible after they have been opened. | Of the various varieties of grapes common in this country, the Delaware | gives a juice of delicate aroma and excellent flavar. The Concord is i darker with a sprightly taste and well kriown aroma. The Catawba, | 1sabella, and Salet grapes also yield an excellent product. The California variétles produce a very sweet juide, | and in many casés there is little char. acteristic flavor. For home use, however, the kind of grapé that is most abundant s in the vitinity will, of course, be used.

Your System Demands an occasional corrective to insure good health and strength. Success is almost impossible for the weak and ailing. Enjoyment is not for the sick. Impaired health and serious sicknesses usually begin in deranged conditions of the stomach, liver, kidneys or bowels. Beechams, Y are recognized all over the world | to be the best corrective of troubles of the digestive organs. They tone the stomach, stimulate the liver, reg- ulate the bowels. They cleanse the system, purify the blood and act in the best and safest way For Health and Strength is satisfactory to the manufac-! TERRITORIAL FORCES LANDED BY FRENCH Bitish System- Practically Same As National Guard o U. §. (Correspondence ~of the Assoclated Press.) London, April 81.—The more he has seen of the territorials, says Sir John French in his Neuve Chapelle dis- patch, the more' he has been im- pressed with their value, Sir John's words, “They acquitted themselves with the utmost credit,” have taken all of the wind out, of the campaign to fix conscription on Great Britain. The British tetritorial system is pncucam the same as the national guard of the United States, without the political weaknesses of the Amers- ican. So far as organigation, ser- vice and equipment go, the oystems of the two countries are identical. The in peace times drill for about /the |same number of hours weekly and upend the same length of time in annual maneuvers. They wear al- ]fmgnt the same uniform. But in- | stead: of suffering from state pol- {itics, as in America, the British ser« {vice is directly under the war de- partment, whch appoints the colonel in command. The colonel, in turn, | passes on the qualification of the of- ficers, who receive commissions from jthe war office. This methed of of- ficering the territorials is much more effective both as to discipline and ef- ficiency than the American method of letting the men elect their own ofs ficers on the basis of personal pop- ularity instead of professional fite ness. Home Service Only. Territorials in time of peace en- list for home service only. But by the simple process of volunteering for foreign service, they become volun- teers without the elaborate process of transferring accounts from ‘state to federal government as in vague in the United States, which involves ‘a vast amount of ¢lerical work and red tape. In the present war, over 80 per cent. of the territorials are known to have volunteered and of these the larger part aré already serving in France L or Egypt. They enlist under the general volunteer act for three years o6f the end of the year. Many Skilled Men.
