A fruit which is useful in Jelly making must contain amounts of two substances—acid and pectin. The latter is a starchy material often found in under-ripe frult; hence jelly “fells” best when the fruit used is under, rather than over ripe. Pectin exiats in conslderable amount in cufrants, apples, crah-applesy grapes and quinces, and these, as the house- keeper knows, make the best jelly. peaches, although a sweet fruit con- tain enough acid, but not enough pec- tin to make a satisfactory jelly. So some other fruit like apples should be added, making ‘“peach-apple” jellly. A shiple test: Use equal amounts, one to two table spoons of unsweet- ened fruit juice extracted by boiling, and grain alcohol. Pour into a small glass and stir juice and alcohol until well mixed. The presence of pectin is shown by the jelly-like substance which collects at the bottom of the glass after the mixture has stood for a time. If the jelly forms in large masses it indicates that the fruit has sufficient pectin to be used alone. If there are small masses or just an ap- pearance of cloudiness, it indicates an insufficient amount, and some other fruit juice should be added. Z Boozo Dealers Alarmed. The New London Liquor Dealers’ association met in conference this aft- ernoon and preliminary plans for the coming campaign on the license ques- tion were discussed. The plan of ac- tion “to be followed was not an- nounced, but there was no hesitation in stating that the dry army would not be allowed to do all the fighting in the battle of the ballots which will be a leading feature of the October mwn election.—New London Day.

Father Broderick stated also that repairs have been made to the vault in the cemetery, so that it will be possible to utilize it hereafter during seyere winter weather, if nerded. He spoke of the care which should be given graves. “Bléssed are the dead who die in the Lord,” says Holy \Scripture: and Catholics, who have been fortified by the last - sacraments of ‘their church have certainly died in the Lord, their bodies are blessed and their last resting places should not be neglected or forgotten.

St. Patrick’s parishioners have a o right to feel proud of the splendid condition of the church property, while they appreciate Father Brod. erick’s. rare administrative ability. That the spiritual condition of the parish of over 4,000 souls, was never more encouraging is demonstrated by the attendance at the masses and the sacraments: the pastor's constructive and financial and executive ability tells in his management of the busi- ness side of the great property. : Lady Assistant Telephons 823-3 HENRY E.

No Occasion to Keep Boys on Farms, Says State Enrollment Officer. London Ought to Operate it. Ex-Gov. Thomas M. Waller was asked Saturday morning as to how he stood on the Groton ferry matter. With a quick response, for which the governor is noted, he replied: “T stand with both feet squarely in favor of the city owning and operating its ferry franchise and I favor operating it at rates of fare which will prove satisfactory to the city, and I would favor the ~city operating this ferry even though the net income to the city should prove to be even so low as oife-third of the net income to the present lessees.” The governor is of the opinion that the matter has been pretty well threshed out so far as facts and fig- ures and explanations arc concerned, and that any lengthy statement at this time Is unnecessary and of no particular advantage in repetition. However, the governor has formed his opinion in the matter which is very decided, and in case he should be called upon to do so, he is ready to give the reasons for his attitude.
