FROM THE MAILBAG
. Waterproofing Mixture Into a pail of soft or rain water put Yelb. sugar of lead and 421b. powdered alum, Stir every now and then till mixture becomes clear. Pour it off into another vessel. If wanted for a tweed coat, immerse the whole garment in mixture for at least 24 hours. Hang up to dry without wringing-may take 2 or 3 days to dry. Too Sweet Dear Aunt Daisy, In making melon jam, I made a mistake when weighing the sugar, and put mueh too much. The jam is like syrup, and far too sweet. I would be very grateful if you could suggest what to do with it, so that it may be eatable. I thought of adding more melon to it. What do you think?--Constant Listener, Taupiri. You could try cutting up a marmalade orange or two (according to the amount of jam you have), covering with water for 24 hours, and then boiling till soft. To this add the very sweet melon jam, stir.well in, and boil till it will set when tested--which may be quite soon, so watch carefully, Or you could boil tree tomatoes in the samme way, and add to the ‘melon. You do not say how much you have, so must just use your own judgment as to quantity.
