Rev. Love, ID Beaumont divine, is
authority for the statement that the
recent hot weather was caused by the
anger of the Lord. because of the in
different manner in which the people
are treatiHs bin aud bis worship.
The reverend gentlemen qualified his
assertion by stating that the Lord
had no complaint to make of the
women. but that the way the men
loafel around the streets on Sunday
and INDUCED in worldly past time,
was the cause Of His anger. This
would be all right if we could find that
the heat had been any less oppressive
in the kitchen where the women spend
most of their time, than it has on the
streets where the men have been ac-
cushioned to loaf.

How to Preserve Peaches, Pears or Plums

The same principles apply in
canning the large as well as the
smaller fruits. Keep cleanliness,
yes, surgical cleanliness. and ster-
ilization In mind. Do not attempt
too many at once; be sure you
have your fruit jars before your
fruit Is ready and waiting for
them. Buy good fruit If you have
to buy less of IT.; II is cheaper in
the end and much more satisfac-
tory.
When canning peaches, pears or
plums, have the jars sterilizing in
the steam cooker which you have
filled with cold water. Boil 10
minutes. While they are steriliz-
ing pare the fruit by putting them
a few at time into a wire bas-
ket or colander and plunging them
for minute into boiling water.
Cut the peaches or pears In halves,
peel and throw them at once into
cold water. 1t will require about
one pint of sirup for each quart,
and this may be thin or heavy
strip, boiled at least five minutes.
Fill the steriiized jars with the
fruit, cover to overlooking with the
boiling strip, fasten the sterilized
covers on and set back in the
