NOW IS THE SEASON FOR CANNING

peaches. cut them In two and remove
the stones. There, are any number Of
ways Of preparing the fruit for the
cans. AL OF which arrive at the same
end. The good old method of allowing
a heaping tablespoonful Of sugar TO
every quart of fruit has proved satis-
factory In many a household.
Put a cupful Of water in a kettle and
add layers Of fruit, alternating them
with sprinklings OF sugar. Bring the
contents of the kettle slowly to a boil
and cook for about three minutes. or
until the fruit is thoroughly heated
through Then scald the cans. one by
one. stand them on the cloth and All
to the brim with the fruit. Adjust the
scalded rubbers and screw on the scald-
cd covers. Wipe the jars carefully and
stand them in a warm part OF the
kitchen where they win be protected
from the air. In the morning give the
covers an additional turn and put them
in dark place.
After a week or two look the supply
over. In jars where small bubbles ap-
pear the fruit is not keeping and the
contents may as well be empued oui
and used for stewed fruit
Apples and pears may be treated IN
the same manner as the peaches, ex.
cepting that they are cored.
Ounces are better cut into rings
They require one cupful OF sugar Il
every pound of the fruit
Some housekeepers claim that frui
canned without other liquid than III
own juice retains its flavor best Fo
this sort pack dry jars with the frui
sections. put on the rubbers and covers
put the jars in boiler with cold waite
nearly covering them, let the waite
come to a boil and cook them for on
hour. Leave the jars in the water un

Although canned foods OF all kinds
are abundant in the stores, many house
wives prefer to put up their own fruits
for the winters use, OF mothers with
growing children this is especially true,
comments an authority along that
line. There is a generally accepted
theory that, while the digestive APP
parati of adults have, as a rule, become
calloused by vigorous encounters with
course dinners and late suppers and
their unholy bills of fare the tender
stomach OF youth may suffer injury
from preseryatives in the shape OF acids
and other chemicals used by many pro
fessional Gamers. However, this may
he the homemade product is pretty
sure TO find greatest favor with every
one. Peaches, plums, pears and ounces
are the principal fruits OF the season.
n is a mistake to walt for the end OF
a fruit season before canning. For
the purpose the best fruit is required,
That with choicest flavor is pretty apt
20 be among the first arrivals OF the
best sorts.
The same principle of canning holds
good. whatever the sort to be used
The object is preservation. This can
be accomplished only by perfect sterili'
zatioa. with airtight reoeptacles. Sugar
plays only a small part in the preserva'
ton. Overcooking of fruit destroys it'
flavor. AS large fruit is pared 1t shoul'

D0INGS IN A

Interesting Items From the
Various Resorts
Notes Of Wilmington Folk on Visiting
Bent and Of Others Who Are En-
tetaining Their Friends

Things are still lively at Long
Branch. Though August is nearly
spent. the last week of the third sum
NOR month is sure to prove a lively
one. There are already many social
events scheduled to take place, and
each day adds something TO enliven
things. Golf at the new links of the
Hollywood Club will be popular from
now on. The play for the Hollywood
Cup will be the drawing card on Sat
urday, followed by the event of the
season on September 6. On that occa-
sion Bernard Nichols and George Low,
Of the ElSwanok Club, of Manchester,
Vt. will meet willie" Anderson, OF.
Pittsfeld, and Isaac Mackey, OF Fox
Hills. in a match for purse OF S2OO.
II is customary to look upon Labor
Day as marking the end of the season.
1t is proper so to regard it in the ma
iOrity of Long Island resorts, but in
Bay Shore that day has no special sig
nificance; it eXcites little comment in
passing, and is by no means the cause
for any undue hustling departures.
The people here, so far as it could be
gathered. are content to remain In their
present quarters some weeks longer. II
the weather does not suddenly turn in
element there is every likelihood that
the season will run into tn first OF Oc-
tober.
The outing season is now at its
height at Asbury Park, and win con-
tinue for another fortnight, when the
season will begin to wane. The shore
front hotels, however, will remain open
during September and several OF them
will not close until the middle OF Octo-
ber for the present bookings indicate
a good autumn trade.
Over in the Pocono Lake region,
where Laurel Inn is located, guests
from all quarters are mingling together
in quest Of a good time. A masquerade
given by the women was a most en-
ioyable affair and presented many
laughable features. At the saltwater
the patrons have whiled away many a
pleasant hour playing progressive
hearts and enjoying tableaus.
Over at Buckhill Falls the inn is fill
