Siring General of the Southern Depart- ment and expected. Washington, September 4—1 President Wilson's review of the Houston riot case was made public today. Six more of the members of the famous 24th Infantry will be executed and the remaining forty-nine sent to prison for various terms. This brings the troops clothed soldiers executed to 43 and the total imprisoned to 60, prisoners white were killed and twelve injured by the soldiers in August. "Declare this memorandum with the Adjutant "General of the army," said the President's statement, "in order that the basis of my action may be a matter of record. "On the 22d of August, 1917, the so-called Houston riot took place. A mutinous and riotous group of soldiers participated in the affairs causing in all the deaths of fifteen persons and the serious wounding of twelve others many of whom were innocent hostages, and all of whom were peacefully disposed civilians of the City of Houston. "Very searching and thorough investigations were made into the riot, its cause, and the actions of the persons who participated, with the result that three groups of soldiers were tried by court-martial, the cases being known, respectively, as the Nesbit, the Washington, and the Tillman cases. The records of these trials have been carefully examined by the Judge Advocate General and the Secretary of War, and they disclose that in each instance the court was properly composed of three experience and authority of judges, and that the rights of defendants were surrounded, at every point, these safeguards which a criminal administration of the law accused to those charged with grave offenses. No legal errors, prejudicing the rights of the accused, have been found; indeed, the still cases of the cases appears to have been the attention of the military authorities from the outset and extraordinary precautions were taken to ensure the fairness of the trial. "The Nesbit case was first tried. It resulted in the defendant's five defenders and the copropriet of the remainder, with four sentenced to brief terms of imprisonment, forty-one sentenced to life imprisonment, and HIM BE YOUR CHOICE IN THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9th, 1918 DR. WALTER E. KNICKMAN M. H. --- Late the Washington and Tillman cases proceeded to trial, involving altogether fifty-five persons, and resulting in death sentences imposed upon sixteen and imprisonment upon the remainder for various terms of years, except as to three in the Tillman case, two of whom were acquitted, and as one of whom the charges were dismissed. "The review which I have been called upon to make, therefore, involved death penalties imposed upon sixteen persons. Of these I have affirmed six because the persons involved were found guilty by a pain evidence of having deliberately under circumstances of shooting brutality, murdered designated and peacefully disposed civilians. The remaining ten death sentences I have committed to life imprisonment for the reason that while deeply engaged in this relentless, the men involved are not shown by the record personally and directly to have caused the death of designated individuals. "The offense of when these soldiers were guilty is the greatest gravity; that Government relies upon its soldiers for the defense of the liberties of the people, and when soldiers forgetting obligations, break over the records of discipline and become a bitious and intolerant mob, the very foundations of order are shaken. When peacefully disposed and innocently killed, the victims of this sort of theft are strenuous redress of their wrongs is the surest protection of society against their resuscitation. "I, therefore, find that the action taken by the Commanding General of the Southern Department was legal and justified by the record, and direct the execution of the sentances in the six cases above referred to. I commend the remaining sentences because I believe the lesson of this lawless act will have been adequately pointed by the action already taken and now directed, and also because I desire the clemency here ordered to be a recognition of the splendid loyalty of the race to which these soldiers belong and an inspiration to the people of that race to further zeal and THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, MD. FRIDAY, SEPT. 6th, 1918 Dr. Knickman has been a successful physician in West Baltimore for the past 15 years. He is an active worker in every movement of a patriotic nature, or looking for social betterment. No man from this section is so widely known or so highly respected. He has always been a very active and loyal Republican. Leading Republicans are behind Dr. Knickman and the voters of the Fourth District will make no mistake in making him the Republican candidate for Congress next Monday. Some time ago the Social Clubs of West Baltimore organized to help the drafted men, regardless of creed or color. Dr. Knickman was selected as chairman. 172 kits were given to the men of the first draft and Christmas boxes valued at $10 each were distributed. Later when it was found that the men from the District were being scattered all over the country and abroad so that it would be difficult to reach them, the balance of the fund, $530 was turned over to the Red Cross and to the Y. M. C. A., in order that the money might be used as the donors in- service to the country of which they are citizens and for the Liberties of which so many of them are now bravely bearing arms at the very front of great fields of battle. "WOODROW WILSON." The White House, Aug. 31, 1918. KEELANS EXPLOSIVE NOT WANTED Plans Accepted by Actua Company However Washington, September 1.—After being told at the Ordnance Department that his plans for a great explosive were the best the Department had ever seen, and that he should start to work immediately on them at whatever salary he desired, Harry Kechan, a chemist, employed by a large New York munition firm, next day received a telegram from the War Department, saying that his services could not be used. Mr. Kechan came to Washington a week ago at the recommendation of his firm. His explosive, as set forth in his letter to the Department of Ordnance, was said to be what as deadly as any now employed by the United States Government. The Actua Explosives Company have employed Mr. Kechan to work out his plans for their own plant. He is a Harvard graduate and one of the best known colored chemists of the country. 808th in FRANCE Baltimore boys with the 89th Regiment, which left Camp St. August 15th arrived in France safely according to advice received here during the week. They numbered 360, among them, Corporal Norris R. Johnson, a former employee of the Afro. John D. Wilson, Roland White, Ellis Young and Arthur Jiggett. THE REPUBLICAN TEMBER 9th, 1918 Washington, Sept. 1. Speculation is rife as to who will succeed Dr. Simeon L. Carson, resigned, as assistant head surgeon in Friedland's hospital. Dr. Carson is one of the best surgeons in the country and is giving up the hospital work to establish a private hospital of his own. The position is one filled by civil service examination and it is thought that several physicians in other cities than Washington may have taken the examination. The entry attached is sold to be $1500, and the hospital work in no way interferes with private practice. Dr. Peter Murray is said to be likely to obtain the position. THIS WAS SOME PARADE. Somerset, Pa., Sept. 1, 1812, largest parade the town has ever witnessed (accompanied the town's long confined draftee to the station last week). A ordered officer led the parade carrying a big American flag, and was followed by the mayor, the town's drum corps, school band and civil war veterans. Crowds along the way yelled "Goodbye BILL" to William Stewart, in whose honor the parade was staged. AWARRED $56.00 DAMAGES AWARDED $6,500 DEBACES. Alice Jones a seventeen year old high school girl entered suit in the courts of New Jersey against an Atlantic City policewoman for $500 for false arrest. She was arrested at the school by a colored plain clothes man and was charged with the offence of police where she was questioned about a later. Testimony at the trial showed she knew nothing about the communication in question, and damages of $50 were awarded. TO HONOR PASTOR The congregation of Sharon Baptist Church is planning a reception for its pastor, Rev. W. M. Alexander, on Thursday evening of next week. NEWS IN BRIEF Six mounted colored policemen, following their chief, led a patriotic parade in Youngtown, Ohio. Spanish American veterans, Women's Red Cross Unit and Patriotic League and Child Knitting League, together with Sunday School hosts were features of the parade. Ex-President Roevelt gave $4,000 to the colored Y. W. C. A. War Work Council to be used for hostess houses for colored troops and in work for colored women and girls around campments. For bringing about the Japanese peace treaty, the ex-president was given a Neoist prize amounting to nearly $20,000. All of this fund was donated to war charities. The work of the Hostess House at Camp Upton especially appealed to Col. Roosevelt. The Kansas Defense Society headed by Nick Chiles of the Topica Plaindealer is engaged in raising funds in defense of the members of the 24th infantry now imprisoned on charges proving out of the Houston riot. 53 men left Salisbury, Md., and environs last week for national training camps.

Recently a cracker complained about the mixing of the races and the dirty water resulting. The white instructor replied that colored people who use the pool are not so dirty as some of the whites and that all are required to use the shower before getting into the pool. The water is changed daily. In the twenty counties of Virginia where the colored population nearly where the white population, they prominent colored men will begin weeks a series of patriotic rallies. They will distribute and explain an literature sent out by the government departments. Major Allen Washington of Hampton, W. T. t. Williams and others are working hard for the success of the movement. White stockkeepers in Harlem, New York complain that colored people are boycotting them. Editors of New York colored papers are being asked to explain an editorial which, in substance said: "There are three weapons in the people's hands, the bullet, the bullet and the boycott. We recommend the boycott as the most effective in protecting the interest of the colored people." When colored soldiers were not received as lodgers at one of the hotels opposite the station in Worcester, Mass., a white city councilman called up the hotel and represented himself to be the proprietor of a large firm, who had a number of foreigners in town for the night. "We have plenty of rooms, send them right over" said the white hotel keeper over the phone. Now the lodging house license is to be revoked for refusing accommodation to men in uniform. Unloading steamers would be impossible without the aid of the 2009 colored stewedroos. It took 52 days upload one of the big transports the first time.

MILITARY INSTRUCTION TO BE GIVEN IN ALL COLLEGE Small Schools Are Included—Uncle Sam Busy Training Teachers—Camp Washington Develops Band in Twenty Days—Dr. Locke Responsible. (Staff correspondence.) The word that Uncle Sam is to take over the colleges of the country has been good news to the large number of smaller schools in the South. Possibilities of government support carry with them, however, probability of government control, and very few folk have not risen to remark that they are glad that at last Uncle Sam, blind and taking a hand in the education of the Negro. and from men in the Radio School marches across the parade field, it returns just before the flag is lower for the day. After the bugle sound "retreat," and the whole band swells in the national anthem, the batallion stands at present apace. The band is lowpied and the anthem real, genuine patriotic spirit is a good atmosphere, and it is the 20 old band, playing like veterans, that is largely responsible for it. In this connection the Training Camp top Teachers, or as it is called The Students Army Training Corps Camp, established at Howard University, Washington, on August 1st, is the best index of the transformation that is to take place in college schools. SCHOOLS REPRESENTED This camp at Howard corresponds to the camps established about the same time in several white schools. The Committee on Educational Activities coordinated with the General Staff, and intended at first to invite only the larger colored colleges to send corpsmates to the training camp. Mr. Kenneth Scott thought differently and saw to it that in addition to the larger schools like Howard, Wilberforce, Pisk, Lincoln, Tusseygee and Huntington, small schools like Manassas Industrial Institute, a preparatory school; St. Augustine, of Lehigh, N.C., a preparatory school, and a number of other academies were included. Each institution was invited to send one teacher and four students for every one hundred enrolled on the school, students. 11 teachers and 322 students are now taking the training at Howard. COURSES IN EACH SCHOOL The course of training is to last 35 days and at the end of this time student and teacher instructors will be sent back to their respective schools to establish military courses and "drill." A regular army officer will accompany them and act as the commander "in charge." Every student above 13 years will be compiled to join the military corps in his college, and will be given clothing, board and lodging by the government, and in addition the pay of a private ($30 per month) may be given him. College students, who thus automatically become members of the military corps must make good in their studies or be drafted. If they stand well they will be allowed to finish their course, or be sent an officer's training school. If they "think" they may be sent into the national army immediately as privates. College leaders will be a thing of the past. SMITH IN CHARGE Lient, Smith, assisted by a staff of young lieutenants who went to Fort Deshones last year and received their commissions is in charge of Camp Washington, as it is called, probably in memory of the greatracker Already in one month these boys have been developed into marching units. Hampton, Tuskegee and Wiblerforce men have the -most of the non-commissioned officers in the regiment, because of their previous military experience. Training in the use of the rifle, machine gun and gas mask is to make up a part of the work. Tuskegee and Hampton students now drill with "wooden "dumary" guns. Southern schools are not allowed the use of firearms. With the establishment of military units in colored colleges, every college boy will be given a real United States Army rifle and taught how to use it. BAND IN 20 DAYS BAND IN 20 DAYS Strenuous exercise and three hour biller sometimes cause the older pro- fessors in training to drop out by the way but every one of the 443 men is there for "retreat."

Perry of the Harvard College faculty is in charge of all the Students' Training Camps in the country. Under him, the Alain D. Locke of the Howard University faculty has urged military training for colored, colleges more successful than any other one man, and is responsible for the selection of Howard University as the site.

Don't worry about me over here, I can hold my own. There are no hot or warm nights here. I have plenty of warm socks and everything." HEMSLEY DECLINED. It was erroneously stated in last week's paper that Mr. Samuel T. Hemsley ran for the office of Grand Trustee of the Elks Convention, and was defeated. Later information shows that Mr. Hemsley, who could have been elected to the office by an overwhelming majority had he wished, declined the office in favor of the present incumbent. The convention, as is the custom, was very anxious to give a local Elk a grand lodge office, but Mr. Hemsley refused to run. "THE SMARTER SET" COMING TO THE LYRIC SEPT 16.

Every school child must have a well defined scar, typical of the vaccination "take" or else be excluded until he can be vaccinated again. This action is due to the 46 cases of small pox that have appeared in the city since last winter. None of the persons affected had been successfully vaccinated, and this accounts for the desire of the Health Board to protect the children in school. Vaccination is not the old long and painful process it used to be. In place of the five minutes scraping of the skin amid the flinching and howling of the patient, the modern physician can turn out a single patient in 20 seconds without any pain whatever. Painless vaccination ought to appeal to anyone who dreads suffering, to parents especially, who by attending to the matter early can prevent their children from losing any time out of school DON'T FORGET HOME CHARITIES While not forgetful of generous ties, it is well to remember the fostering, and that the morale be morale abroad.

While not forgetful of generous contribution to the War Charities, it is well to remember that the charities at home need fostering, and that the morale at home is as necessary as the morale abroad. If the prodigal son of Bible fame was worthy of the fatted calf slaughtered in his honor, his brother was equally worthy. True the prodigal repented and came home, but no guarantee that after his clothes were mended and filled that he did not seek the high life a second time is full of the records of men who have sworn to fallen off the water wagon. It worth making is this, that the local branch of A. A. is the stay at home brother, who needs the half as well as War Charities. I tis going over the week for the $8,000 needed to complete the new building. The work of construction is being paid for as it progresses and to be finished and ready for occupancy by November 1st, the pledges have got to be in. Baltimore is going to be proud of its new building for "Y" work, but there is yet something to be done before the city can rest on its oars.

Chicago. "Idea" is very much worked up some isolated camp in the west has 500 soldiers affected with venereal diseases. Not only this is a very bad record for the case it proves nothing for the Negro A famous wit once remarked that there are three kinds liars namely, "liars—damn liars—and statistics." Really the trouble does not lie with statistics accurately impaired, but in the use some people make of a fraction of c figures when the whole number should be taken into account The Chicago. "Idea" is very much worked up over the fact that some isolated camp in the west has 50 percent of armed soldiers affected with venereal diseases. Evidently this is a very bad record for the camp but it proves nothing for the Negro camp general who should conclude that the color of the men "serenaced." "ill starred" and close to "concussion" wide or the actual truth, and un- Army Statistics compiled after dealing with the whole number of men in the service last year showed some rather startling results. They showed that 36 colored men out of every 100 men are fit for service, while only 25 whites out of every hundred are physically fit. Does this look like Negroes are dying out? After examining 165,000 applicants for the regular army, I. W. Brewer of the Medical Corps reported more white men rejected for alcoholism than colored-34 percent and 8 percent; more white men were rejected for consumption than colored. (Yet Mayor Preston would segregate colored folk to keep white folk healthy.) Here are the figures: colored rejected 13 percent, white 19 percent. All colored people are supposed to have flat feet, but this man's records show more whites so afflicted than colored. With reference to veneral diseases—which we are especially considering here—25 percent of whites were rejected and 24 percent colored. ed and 24 percent colored. Even these figures ought not to be accepted as the final word. There are ten millions of colored people, and the major portion of them must be examined before we can generalize on the subject of their physical capacity or incapacity. But throwing statistics out and using common ordinary horse sense, colored people have increased in number from five to ten millions since the abolition of the slave trade. Without any immigration to speak of the population has just doubled. Every year we have more colored people in this country than we had the year before. Young and vigorous the colored race is growing by leaps and bounds. Ear from dying out or being exterminated, if colored people continue to increase at the same rate, the end of three centuries will find more colored people in the United States than white. President Wilson stated in his proclamation to men from 18-45, who are to be drafted, that only a portion of those who register will be called. The physically unfit will not be asked to bear arms,altho there is other service as clerks, etc., that they can perform. Fathers of families, who cannot be spared and men employed in shipyards, munition works, and agriculture will be excused, all others will be sent to camps. This is no unwelcome news to colored folk, who have long been asking for the opportunity to do what other Americans are doing. With the same patriotic spirit and the same cheerful willingness, the older men will make the sacrifices that the younger men have already made. THE FORUM A NEGRO HONORED IN FRANCE Editor Airo-American. Soldiers in France who receive the Croix de Guerre are greatly honored; but when the decoration of the palm branch accompanies the Croix de Guerre the honor is greatly intensified. The first American to receive this double decoration is a Negro soldier according to the well-known writer, Irving Cobb, who has just returned from the Western front. He tells an "interesting story of how a Negro soldier has been the first American to receive the Croix de Guerre, with the accompanying palm branch decoration from the French Government. Others before him may have been honored with the cross alone, but the distinguished honor has been conferred upon this hero in chorey of the additional palm decoration, together with the cross. "Mr. Cobb says that a French general visited the hospital where the colored man was recovering from wounds received in the brave encounter which almost cost the hero his life, and pinned the cross and the palm decoration upon his breast, and then stopped down and kissed him upon both cheeks." Bravery is ever recognized by other brave men, and to true Americans the color of a man's skin does not affect his estimate of a deed bravely accomplished. JOHN N. QUINN, Takoma Park, Md. LOEB ASKS QUESTIONS The colored population has increased largely since the war in many Northern industrial cities. Colored attendance in the public schools has grown correspondingly. How best can the race antagonisms be avoided which so often spring up when the two races are brought into close juxtaposition—especially when white and colored children are in attendance under the same teachers and in the same classes? Do you think it wiser, when there is a large colored population, to have separate schools for white and colored children? If the separation came at the desire and upon the initiative of the colored people, would the sympathetic understanding of colored by whites, and vice versa, be heightened, or would such a separation increase prejudice and antagonism? Do you think it wiser to have separate classes for colored and whites, with colored and white teachers, in the same school rather than to have separate schools? It seems much wiser to have separation (if any at all is necessary) by voluntary action rather than through the operation of law. How, in your opinion, should a separation-movement, if under any circumstances it is wise, be begun? By conferences between white and colored leaders in the district? By recommendation of the Local Board of Education? By withdrawal of colored children, upon recommendation of their own leaders, from attendance at schools where the colored children predominate? If you think any separation in public schools is unwise, what measures, if any, would you suggest, to make less difficult the relationship of the races in the field of public education? The problem is a huge important one and demands an solution satisfactory. colored. As a member of the Chicago Board of Education, the seriousness of the situation was forcibly impressed upon me. There is certainly now every reason, when white and colored are fighting side by side on the battlefields of France, for mutual consideration and tactful handling of the difficult problem. Grant Biddle, Jr., with the 531st Field Artillery writes to Mrs. McMechen that Leuit, Walter Webb and other Baltimore boys in this regiment are well and getting along fine. He is speaking the French language well, and enjoying the hospitality of the natives. The only thing he misses is the Afro, in order to keep in touch every week with the home folks. HIGH HANDED Annapolis, August 27.—Members of the Masonic Order have rights that even the Grand Lodge must respect, according to a recent decision by the Circuit Court, and hereafter suspensions and expulsions must be carried out in keeping with the tenets for which the order stands. The long pending suit of Henry Valentine against the Grand Lodge of Masons and the suit of Wiley H. Bates, Henry Heborn, Daniel Brown, et al., against the Grand Lodge have been decided by the Chief Judge, William Thomas, of the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County. Valentine was suspended from office as Worshipful Master of Universal Lodge, No. 14, Mansons of amabilis and appealed to Grand Lodge at Hagerstown. The Grand Lodge without notice to Valentine to have a fair trial and to defend himself expelled him from Masonry forever, upon a variety of charges, which he had never had any notice before and the Court holds that although it is reluctant to interfere in cases between members of fraternal orders and their organizations, yet if these fraternal organizations undertake to expell members without a fair trial a Court, of Equity will interfere to protect the member in the exercise of his proper rights. the exercise of his proper rights. In the case of Bates, Brown, Hebron, et al, who were suspended by the Grand Lodge without any notice whatever or opportunity to defend themselves against the charges made and some of whom were not even present in Hagerstown at the time of the meeting of the Grand Lodge, the Court holds that the action of the meeting of the Grand Lodge is entirely illegal and unjustifiable in the case of Valentine and also in the cases of Brown, Lates, Hebron, et al, to be null and void. These cases have created a great deal of interest among Masons and the decision has been looked forward to with great interest. It is unknown at present whether an appeal will be taken or not.

Nearly every state in the union was represented. union was represented. Papers on a variety of medical subjects were discussed but the most significant was read by Captain Arthur Spingarn on the prevalence of venereal diseases in the army, Dr. C. V. Roman, government expert on health conditions among colored soldiers in camp, spoke on the same subject, and illustrated how ignorance and neglect are responsible for the high rate of infection. Statistics produced dating to August 1918, showed that the proportion of white and colored troops infected with venereal diseases is almost the same in Northern camps, but that five times as many southern colored draftees as whites are infected. ed. COMMISSION APPOINTED COMMISSION APPROVED In the course of the session a commission was appointed to look into conditions of colored colleges and medical schools with the idea of bringing more of them up to the standard set by the American Medical Association. Howard University has the only medical school in Class A. Meharry at Nashville is in Class B. There are only four colored colleges with laboratory facilities sufficient to prepare students to take a course in medicine. RESOLUTIONS AROUSE STORM A bitter resolution condemning the practice of sending cotored physicians to the camps as ordinary infantrymen was introduced by Dr. Wm. H. Wilson of Washington. Wiser heads prevailed and Wilsons resolution was rejected and the following substituted: "As loyal and patriotic medical men, we have offered our services to the nation, now in the throes of a great national crisis," the resolution begins. Then it is stated that with the commissioning of about 100 Negro physicians, further commissions are denied the hundreds of others who want to serve the nation. This is deplored, and an appeal is made to the War Department to "right the injustice of the present policy and to give us a fair representation of commissioned officers." 1. C SCORED Coming into Richmond, Virginia, many of the doctors rode in jim crow cars for the first time. The result was the following resolution: "We are inconvenienced, humiliated and abused by the passenger-car system known as the "Jim Crow" cars. It is out of keeping with the tenets of American government, for which the world is now bathed in blood, that the government itself should operate such a passenger traffic system. It not only debases a patriotic class of citizens, but breeds discontent and deprives citizens of fair compensation for money invested in railway tickets." An appeal is made to Director-General MeAdoo to abolish the law per war measure to the end that $2,000,000 faithful citizens may be rewarded for their devotion." Drs. E. Mayfield Boyle and Dr. A. O. Reid were representative Baltimoreans in attendance. Dr. A. D. Ferguson, of Richmond, was elected president, J. W. Jones, of Winston-Salem, N. C., vice president; W. G. Alexander, of Orange, N. J., secretary. DON'T LYNCH THE NEGRO When you read of the crime of the awful Hunt Stop and think of the Negroes hung In southern states in such horrible ways Sometimes two and three a day. It's a disgrace to America to continue this crime The Negroes lynched Uncle Sam needs in time. in time, To help well the number training here To march against the Huns over there Don't lynch the Negro—give him a chance There are brave ones among them who are sure to advance Roberts, for instance in "No man's Land" Proved himself every inch a man.

Miss Naomi Daughtery and Daisy Coubourn left for Philadelphia for a Victory After Hard Struggle I was sick for years. As a white man, it was natural to go to white doctors. And I went to the best of them in Baltimore. Some said one thing and others another thing about my illness. I tried the hospitals. They did me no good and I grew worse all the time. Though first I hesitated yet, from strong recommendations of persons he had cured, I decided to try Dr. David Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Specialist, 1563 Carey street. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things no other doctor ever touched upon. He has treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. My friend who had a four year old son, who had convulsions and could scarcely stand or walk, went to this same doctor through my recommendation. Since the first treatment the child has had no more spasms, and is now running about. The parents are delighted and declared to me recently that Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds of doctors. Health is better than money and people who are seeking health should put prejudice aside, whether they be white or colored, and go to the doctor who can surely do them good. He ins done wonders for me and I am not afraid to tell it. THOMAS A WEIN, 1962 Walbrook Avenue Baltimore, Md.

JOLLEY but to make it if you agree aably is a common feature that "luck" has in jelly making than with wine, also. A mental principle under- standing jelly making which good and carefully follows. Jelly is one of relative certainty of "luck." Jelly is dependent upon combination of protein, ac vice and flavoring substances. In the fruit farmhouse all but Jelly paid even this may be sup- pose, as for instance in certain wheeled of fruits. There is the wheeled content in the juice and skin of fruit. Juice will cause the jelly of a person to fade from them to a joyful making it out of the uses the fresh sour or tart, and is combined in both the raw and the cooked or juiced. Certain fruits, as crabapples and citrus grapes, sour apples are combined in both acid and pectin in a sufficient quantity, ordinarily for the making of good jelly. Others, such as pear, apples, and sweet apples, contain a sufficient pectin but not enough acid. may be made from those which back in, however by adding the coombate juice from pectin-containing fruits. I knew the fruits having salts in, but not enough acid in, for jelly by adding the juice a sour fruit, such as lemon or apples. The housewife does not have cedilium, the means of test, the amount of acid in a particulate by accurate methods, the size upon taste. As good a rule as can be given is that the juice from which it is made should be as just as a sour apple. Preparing the juice. Wash the Fruit, remove stems and decayed portions, and cut large fruit into small pieces. Do not peel unless citrus fruits, of lemons or oranges are being used, in which case the yellow portion only should be removed, learning the juice which is rich in pectin. When citrus fruits are being used, add cedilium, warm it to prevent burning, and add the juice, in using these which are a very juicy, cover them w. w r. Cook slowly until soft, a s t inough a bag made of than or a thick thickness of cheese e. Do not pressure if a clear job desired. The consistency of jelly prepares it from fruits having sufficient peel and acid is dependent upon the amount of sugar used. Too little sugar resides in a small amount of jelly which is tender and unpleasantly sour. Too sweet sugar on the other hand, gives longer volume of jelly, but it is soft the will not "stand alone." Jelly that thender and yet holds its form when from the glass is what is desired, and this will be used by carefully adjusting the amount of sugar to the kind of juice used. Juice that beet and having sufficient will, as a rule, give best results if equal measure of sugar and juice are used. If the juice is more watery a smaller amount of sugar is required, three-fourths as much or, perhaps, less. When to Put In the Sugar. Experiments indicate that the best time to add the sugar to the juice is when the boiling process is approximately half done. The sugar should be hot when put in the boiling juice in order that the latter may not be cooled too much, and a good way to heat the sugar is to spread it on a pan and heat in the oven with the door open, being careful that it is not allowed to scorch. Skim the juice before adding the sugar. Length of Time to Boll. The boiling time varies with different juices and depends upon several factors. The greater the proportion of sugar to water, th shorter time is required; thin juice requires more. The for concentration to the "felting point." In brief, from eight to thirty minutes should be sufficient. In no case should simmering for hours be followed, as pectin is destroyed by this long continued heating with the acid and no amount of heating thereafter will cause the material to "jell." Make the broth is brief as possible. When it is remove from the Fire. When it is belly point it is reached the material should be removed from the fire or as possible. Testing a small oil spray and allowing it to cool is likely to result in overcooking. A better way is to observe by frequent tussle the time when the jelly greets off or breaks off, when allowed to drop from the stirring spoon. Remove from the fire at once skim carefully and pour into a hot freshly stabilized jelly glasses. Cover in a cover to protect from dust, and cover in a cool place to allow the jelly to "set." When cool pour hot melted paraben over the top of the jelly to seal. Store in a cool, dark, dry place.

GROW LONGSTRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Soeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap. Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleaner. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting; Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.
