Hints About Canning Fruit.

In order to be succe ssful in can
ning fruit 1t Is necessary that care
be taken in the selection as we'll as
In the preparation OF the fruit. The
best fruit should be selected and
the jars thoroughly sterilized before
the fruit is put into them. With
the exception of pears and goose
berries. all fruits used for canning
should be ripe when picked, and
canned while fresh. Pears are bet
ter IL picked before thoroughly ripe
and allowed to ripen in the house.
while gooseberries are used before
they ripen. Do not begin the pro-
cess OF canning fruit until you have
your fruit and cooking utensils all
In readiness and then complete the
process as rapidly as possible.
Granite or porcelain pans are best
Tor this purpose and they should be
shallow In order that the fruit may
be only one layer deep. This al
lows 1t to cook quickly. which Ia the
secret OF Its being light-colored and

possible TO handle II SO as to avoid

MANY PROBLEMS
OF WORKERS Due
TO BAD HOUSING

Congestion figures emphasized by
the exhibit in the hall of the Mechan-
les Institute are based on the density
Of population per room and per acre.
The death rate is compiled IN the con-
gested districts according TO the num-
Der of people occupying a room as we'll
as according to the number of peo-
pie to the house or to the acre. With
this reduction of the problem to room
congestion it is shown by the exhibit
that the evils of overcrowding do not
wait for density Of 500 per acre, but
that room congestion even in more
sparsely settled communities is as pro-
ductive of disease as 1t is of immoral
ity.
Due to Bad Housing.
The relation, both of charity and of
crime and sickness. to congestion is
clearly recognized by the group of
New York citizens who support the
congestion exhibit and who have or
ganized the Association for Improving
the Condition of the poor, one of the
oldest relief societies in this country.
| After more than half century of
leSperience this organization has gone
ion record as saying: The necessity
flor material relief is due largely to
bad housing, sickness and uncertain
employment. all the evils of which are
aggravated by congestion"
a careful Investigation made. several
years ago in Leipsic shows that the
death rate in overcrowded rooms was
often treble the death rate of adults
land four times the death rate of in
fants, in rooms with a normal number
of occupants Under present standards
more than two to a room is recognized
las overchowding. Overcrowding to the
point of materially increasing the
death rate is shown in the exhibit by
pictures of the most densely populated
block in Manhattan on the lower East
Side, with evidences of overcrowdipg
in Richmond in Jackson Ward. on East
Main Street and on Federal Street.
Much OvcrcrOwdinE.
Such overcrowding exists in every
large city. and Is aggravated by bad
housing conditions. There are no sta
ltistics to show how many families
| there are in Richmond living in one,
two or three rooms.
All experienced social workers Will
recognize the conditions portrayed in
the photographs given herewith-con-
itlitions so common that but few stop
to inquire what steps are being taken
to remedy them.
The exhibit is open daily from noon
to z P. M It contains over 500 photo
graphs. many of which are colored,
with numberless models. charts. dia-
grams. mans. etc. Besides referring TO
conditions In New York. it shows. the
worst side of Richmond. Washington,
Buffalo, Baltimore and many other pro-
lgressive places presenting also on the
reverse side some OF the best methods
OF housing adopted in American and
foreign cities. There is no fee for ad-

from that city say that much of its

During the afternoon session of the
Conference for Truant Boys somebody
asked If anything could not be done for
