quickly prepared dessert for any
season of the year. There is usually
great deal of juice with little fruit left at
the end of canning pineapple, peaches, etc.
To this add enough sugar to make strip
and put in pint cans. When unexpected
friends come in it is easy to order little
bulk ice cream and nothing locks daintier
or tastes more delicious than this pre-
served fruit juice poured over the white
ice cream served in pretty glass sherbet
cups. C.
An excellent suggestion. The extra juice
left over from canning, boiled to a strip
with the addition of more sugar, is good
not only for ice cream but for other des-
serts. A plain cornstarch or gelatin
blanc mango made the day before it is
to be needed and placed on the ice to be-
come thoroughly chilled is converted into
a much more elaborate dish by such a
fruit sauce. and this may also be used with
white custards. Moreover, it is a delicious
hot pudding sauce for cottage buildings,
bread buildings. and the 1ike-zar better
than the ordinary hard butter and sugar
sauce and a decided saving in the days
when butter is dear. Such strip is also
excellent to beat up with the hard sauce
as fiavoring and gives character and ele-
gance to q plain pudding.

apples and walnuts, fresh pineapples and
sweet cherries. white grapes seeded and
skinned, with orange sections are all good
combinations. 1 have used all lemon juice
in the dressing when oranges Were not at

the combinations named others with the
dressing and place on ice for an hour or so
before using. 1t is not wise to use more than
two ingredients for any salad. as the flavor
of the dressing is all in the fruit.

do not add mixed spices, as they turn the

" also wish to tell of a good way to use
leftover meat. Grind it in the meat chop
per- make a baking powder biscuit dough-
and roll out half an inch thick spread with
butter and then with meat. roll up as you
would jelly roll, bake, but not too fast or
too brown. Warm the left over gravy and
pour over the roll before you serve or use
milk gravy. MRS. c. T. F.
Both of these recipes are good but the
second especially commends itself to me be-
cause of my interest in making wise use
of leftovers. Let me suggest that when
you make your meat roll you cover it close
ly during the early stages of its cookery
and that when half done you rub little
butter over the outside. This will prevent
the surface browning too quickly and will
soften it a little. Season the meat well be-
fore you spread it on the dough. A tomato
sauce ought to be good with this IL you
have no meat gravy to serve with it.

WHY GIRLS QUIT SCHOOL

why girls leave school, Ia the title
Of bulletin issued the other day BY
the United States bureau Of education,
based on an inquiry made by its ex.
perts into trade and labor conditions
among girls In Worcester. Mass.
. The claim that children are forced
to leave school to work because their
parents need the money Is repudiated
by the officials Of the bureau. They
found that from one-half to three
fourths of the girls at work In the fac
tories could have had further school
ing II they had desired or II their par
ents had insisted upon 1t.
Various reasons we're assigned BY
the girls for their refusal to attend
school longer, according to the bureau.
Some said they did not like school"
others could not get along with the
teacher and were not promoted" while
many simply wanted to 60 to work" y
Only II per cent. Of the girls CUES
toned had finished the grammar
schools, while most of them had left
in the sixth and seventh grades.
Conditions such as were found"
says the bulletin, "emphasizes the i'm
perative need for special training OF =
practical sort for girls between the
ages OF thirteen and fifteen. Not get
ting the kind Of training they might
have liked and would have profited
by, they blindly Joined the army OF
shifting, inefficient, discontinued girls
that go from one monotonous factory
job to another, and because Of their
lack of training, rarely rise above the
class of low paid, unskilled workers"

SAVINGS SYSTEM TRANSFERRED.

Postmaster General Burleson has
signed an order transferring the pos
tul savings system to the bureau Of
the third assistant postmaster gener-
nj. The order became effective on
May i. 1913. Since the creation OF the
postal savings system on January l.,
1911. 1t has been conducted as sep
arate and distinct bureau under the
direction Of the postmaster general.
The transfer of the system is deemed
advisable by the postmaster general,
since all other financial functions Of
the postal service are segregated in
the bureau of the third assistant post
master general. At the present time
the postal savings system is operating
in approximately $4,000 post Offices.
and the amount on deposit aggregates
}35,000,0o0, exclusive Of $2,500.O0O
which has been converted into postal
savings system bonds. In the central
ONCE at Washington there are 1873 en-
ployes, including the director, assist
ant director and four other supervis-
ory officers. The appropriation for
carrying on the business of the sys-
TEN for 1912 amounted to 100000.
and the appropriation, for 1913 Is
100000 and the unexpended amount
of the 1912 appropriation. In addition
to these appropriations there is an
appropriation Of $22s,sso for clerk
hire and $105,500 for supplies and
miscellaneous expenses for 1914.
