A Sheaf of Household Grain. 
Though the greatest care may be 
taken in making jelly, it will sometimes 
mold on top under the paraffin, but if 
the following suggestion is adopted 
there need be no fear of this trouble: 
Put a few shavings of paraffin in the 
bottom of the glasses, then pour in the 
hot jelly, which sends the melted wax 
to the top, carrying off any bubbles of 
air which may be present; then, when 
cold, cover with a thick layer of the 
paraffin. The next day the jelly may 
be marked very easily by taking a darn¬ 
ing needle and gently scratching the 
name and date on the hardened wax. If 
you are going to boil a ham, be sure to 
soak it over night, then it will not need 
parboiling unless it is very salty. Add 
a few cloves to the boiling water, also 
a half cup of pickle juice, 1 and the meat 
will have a fine flavor and will also be 
more tender. 
I ate some delicious fruit snaps re¬ 
cently at a friend’s home, and I want to 
pass on her recipe, for, though ex¬ 
pensive, it is just the rule one would 
want when something extra nice is de¬ 
sired. 
Fruit Snaps.—One and one-half cup 
of sugar, one cup of butter, one-half 
cup of molasses, one cup of raisins, two 
cups of currants, three eggs, one tea¬ 
spoonful of saleratus, one heaping tea¬ 
spoonful of cinnamon and of allspice, 
one-half teaspoonful of cloves and a 
little salt. Mix as soft as can be han¬ 
dled, roll rather thin and bake in a 
quick oven. 
I removed several fruit stains from an 
otherwise clean gingham dress a few 
days ago by gently scrubbing the spots 
with boiling hot water and an old tooth¬ 
brush. After pressing the places which 
were damp the dress looked as fresh as 
ever with the color unchMiged. 
To prevent the cream from spattering 
when using an old-fashioned dasher 
churn, slip a lantern globe down over 
the churn handle and let it rest on the 
cover. This will catch all the flying 
ciearn and prove a great convenience. 
The housewife who makes many sweet 
pickles usually has quite a quantity of 
the syrup left after the pickles are gone, 
and this, heated up with a few extra 
spices if necessary, answers very nicely 
for a second lot of pickles. When mak¬ 
ing the liquor in the first place the 
spices should be put in a medium- 
sized sugar bag and boiled in the 
sweetened vinegar; then after putting 
the pickles in a jar, cover them with 
this same spicy bag, put on the lid, and 
they will need no sealing.

How We 
Prove Quality 
No one can question our prices be¬ 
ing lowest, once they have compared 
with others. 
And to satisfy all as to our quality, 
we say, use one-quarter of any pack¬ 
age. Should you not then be satisfied, 
send back what’s left. We will not 
only return your money, but will pay 
all freight-charges, too. The risk in 
this trial is wholly ours. If we don’t 
please you, it’s our loss and you can 
just forget the matter. If we do please 
you, then you’ve found a way to save 
up to one-half on groceries and many 
of your other household supplies. 
That means $50, $100 or perhaps $150 
saved yearly. 
Can you afford to be losi»g that 
much when by mailing the coupon or 
a postal you will begin to save it ? 
You Pay the Prices 
Your Grocer Pays 
Your grocer does not buy at retail 
prices — and neither need you. He 
buys in big quantities at wholesale 
prices—and makes a big saving. Buy¬ 
ing here you can make the same sav¬ 
ing—and you do not (like him) have 
to buy big quantities of each article to 
do it, because we sell to you in small 
quantities that you can use. When 
you buy from us, you are simply 
using the same foresight your grocer 
does—and the profit he makes on the 
articles he buys at wholesale you save 
for yourself. 
Remember, we manufacture nearly 
everything we sell, buying (in im¬ 
mense quantities) those articles which 
we cannot manufacture to best ad¬ 
vantage. We know no concern which 
produces quality-groceries and high- 
grade household supplies as eco¬ 
nomically as we. 
Then we sell direct—not in the 
roundabout, factory - to - jobber - to- 
wholesaler-to-retailer-to-family way. 
But from factory to family. 
These foods are priced at the same 
prices your grocer would pay his 
wholesaler for them — some at even 
less. Hundreds of the other articles 
are sold to you with only the manu¬ 
facturer’s small profit added.
