a MARVELLOUS SUCCESS.

Our readers have doubtless noted the
of karo Corn Syrup now
running in our columns, 1t was a novel
idea to put up the best table syrup in
alright friction-top cans, and the instant
demand for it has been astonishing. Over
six and one-half million cans were ordered
of the manufacturers in the first ninety
days, and the sales are increasing every
day. This is but another illustration of
the fact that the American housekoeper
is quick to recognize real merit. Mrs.
Helen Armstrong, the well-known teacher
of cookery, has written a booklet of re-
ccipts for the use of Karo Corn Syrup in
all kinds of cooking and candy making,
which will he sent Free when issued, to
anyone writing to the Corn Products COM
pany, New York or Chicago. If any of
our readers have been unable to find
Naro Corn Syrup at the grocer's. it would
be well to drop postal to the Corn Pro-
ducts company, giving the grocers name
and address.

While September first. according to the
fruit calendar. marks the high tide of the
peach and pear season, this year finds
but a scant showing of either of these
popular fruits Killing frosts in the South
and East nipped the majority of fruit
trees in blossom time and, as n result
fruit is scarce and prices higher than for
years.
Yet what housekeeper can let the sea-
son go by without at least limited in
diligence in some of the many delicious
desserts and reishes to be evolved from
the fresh fruit?
