TODAY’S W AR RECIPE.
Berry Jam —Select berries, half the
quantity being ripe and the other half
a little under ripe. The ripe berries
give the fine flavor and color, while
the under ripe ones contain the jelly -
ing property of the fruit and give the
jam a better consistency. Weigh the
berries and allow 3-4 pound sugar to 1
pound of fruit. Crush the fruit, heat
through, add the sugar and cook to
220 degrees F. or until a good jelly test
can be obtained. This test is made by
taking a small amount of the juice on
spoon, moving it back and forth in the
air to cool and letting it drop from the
side of the spoon. When it falls in a
mass, cutting clear from the spoon
in a sheet or flake, the jellying point
has been reached. Pack and sea 1
while hot. If the jars are to be ship
ped, it is safer to process, both to kill
mold spores and to secure a perfect
seal.

LEMS TO PREPARE FOR
im. WORK
C. C. Bell, who for almost a year
has occupied the post of secretary of
the Americus Y. M. C. A., leaves to
morrow afternoon for Black Mountain,
N. C., to enter the training camp where
instruction is to be given in the meth
ods of conducting Young Men’s Chris
tian Association work in the United
States army.
The Y. M. C- A. workers are prepar
ing to extend their operations to
Europe accompanying the American
troops when they are sent across the
Atlantic to fight alongside the French
and British in the trenches on the
western front
The Black Mountain instruction
camp has been established for the pur
pose of rapidly and adequately
turning out competent men to take
charge of the various Y. M. C. A. field
setations set up by the American con
tingent on its arrival in France. The
operations of the Y. M. C. A. in the
mobilization camps in this country and
along the Mexican border with the
troops on duty there, have shown such
gratifying results that the work is to
b. extended to Europe when American
soldiers are sent to assist the Allies.
Mr. Bell has made a host of friends
in. Americus during his connection
with the Y. M. C. A. here and his de
parture will be noted with regret. As
yet no definite arrangements have
been made to secure his successor.

Fishing With a Worm.
To make the most of dull hours, to
make the best of dull people, to like a
poor jest better than none, to wear the
threadbare coat like a gentleman, tc
be outvoted with a smile, to hitch
your wagon to the old horse if no star
is handy—this is the wholesome philos
ophy taught by fishing with a worm. —
From "Fishing With a Worm,” by Bliss
Perry.
Cultivate Little Courtesies.
There is a saying that it is the “lit
tle foxes that, spoil the vines;” that is,
the little annoyances that eat into the
raw of existence. With truth we may
add that in as great a measure the lit
tie courtesies help to build character
and increase the joys of living.
Annual Rainfall.
According to a— estimate tey Sir
John Murray, the total annual rainfall
upon all the land of the globe amounts
to 29,347.4 cubic miles, and of this
quantity 6,524 cubic miles drains off
through rivers to the sea.
To Clean Gold Lace.
To clean gold lace, crumble a piece
of bread without crust and mix with
enough jeweler’s rouge to color it.
Rub this on the lace with a piece of
flannel and finally with a piece of
•»»lvet.

us. He was at Huntsville, Ala., and upon
his own responsibility put in Long Distance
calls for fifteen merchants within a radius
of several hundred miles.
“In less than one hour he had sold 2100

“Since then we have applied the Long
