GRAPE JUICE AS
SUGAR SUBSTITUTE

Grape juice is often used to pre-
serve fruit instead OF sugar, and.
though all kinds of fruits may be pre-
served by this method, It is particu-
larry good for apples and plums and
pears.
Boil six quarts of grape juice In an
open preserving kettle until 1t is re-
duced to four quarts. Have the fruit
washed and pared. and. II apples OF

prepared fruit in a preserving kettle
and cover generously with the boiled
grape juice. Boil gently until the

THE OLD WORLD WAR
FROM DAY TO DAY

Maubeuge's surrender must
mean that the German guns have
battered the defenses to a pulp.
A greatly superior force OF the en-
envy must have been waiting out
side to destroy the defending
refugees within. The loss to the
French army, IL the German fig-
ures are correct, amounts to an
army corps. This goes some way
toward reducing the inequality of
losses caused by the greater Ger
man casualty list during the ad-
vance to Paris.
The chief result OF Maugeuge's
surrender will be the release OF
the investing force for operations
along the front. The Germans
may gain In this way two army
corps, at the present critical mo-
ment. when the allies are endeav-
oring to assume the offensive 10

In perfect condition, the next thing
Is to wash and sterilize them.
In canning, any proportion of sugar
may be used, or fruit may be canned
without the addition of any sugar.
However, that which is designed to
be served as sauce should have the
sugar cooked with IL. Fruit intended
for cooking purposes need not have
the sugar added to 1t.
Juicy fruits, such as berries and
cherries. require little or no water.
Strawberries are better not TO have

m.)-The fall of Maubeuge, re-
ported from Berlin, indicates what
traps entrenched camps are and
,estifies to the wisdom Of the al
lies In leaving the defenscs at La
Fere, Loan, and Rheims unguard-
ed when II became necessary for
the first army to retreat.
Maubeuge Is one OF the strong
est fortified centers In France,
guarded by outer and inner rings
Of detached forts. It's fate Is what
the Germans hoped to infiict upon
the allies since the war begun.
On small scale, Il Is q reproduc-
ton OF the grand climax aimed at
by the German strategy.
Maubeuge was not voluntarily
defended by the allies. During
the retreat from Belgium, part. OF
the English expedition and part OF
the French force were cut on
from the main body. They had to
take refuge In Maubeuge or sur
render. And so they sought the
protection of the great entrenched
camp on the Sambre. II has re-
quired a fortnight for Germany's
new and unprecedentedly power

lation. The disaster would now
be In process of duplication else
where II the allies had not fore
seen the danger of too much reli-
ance on permanent Notifications.
Fortunately for the allies, Maui
beuge stands alone as demon
stration OF the reason why the
French general stan appears to be
more frightened OF Its own perma-
nent Notifications than Of the
German guns.
