After everything in which the fruit
Is to be packed has been boiled for 4e
minutes, the fruit, which has been
brought to the boiling point, should be
put In it, filled to the top, so that there
is no room for air. and sealed thor
oughly. Fruit canned in this way
should keep almost indefinitely, even
without sugar.

The usual method Of canning fruit is
to bring it to the boiling point with
sugar to taste and water to make a
syrup. Some fruits need little or no
water, and some, of course, need very
little sugar. Too much spoils the real
fruit taste and should not be used. And

PINEAPPLE DELEGATES.

paper Syndicate)
We have all of US heard of the
health giving qualities that pineapples
are supposed to possess. The Juice OF
the pineapple actually contains valu-
able ferments, ferments that help to
carry on digestion. And as an au-
! thority pointed out, pineapple Juice
begins to help digestion as soon as 1t
reaches the stomach. Sour milk, which
also contains valuable ferments, Is in
itself rather difficult OF digestion, and
must dispose Of It's own mass OF fats
and proteins before 1t begins to d.
gest other things. But pineapple Juice
Is ready to begin its helpful work the
moment 1t enter the stomach.
Pin apple juice is a delicious bev-
erage for summer. 1t is not difficult
to prepare. The juice separates read
ily from the fiber, especially when
g is added to 1t. 1t should be
chilled thoroughly. and 1t should, OF
course, be taken from thoroughly ripe
ptneapples.
Pineapple cut into cubes or SHREDDED
with a silver fork and served, very
cold, Slightly sweetened. with almost
any other fruit forms a delicious des-
ries. with halved red cherries. with or
anges and grapefruit u into dice,
with sliced bananas, with diced peach
es-with all these it Is tempting. Such
a dessert should be daintily prepared
and served in dessert glasses, very
cold. A little finely shaved ice ma be
added to make 1t more tempting.
Pineapple water ice is q cooling des-
sert for a very hot day. This can be
made from canned as well as from
fresh pineapple. Like any other water
Ice, 1t is very little tax on the diges-
tion-far less than ice cream, for the
cream, milk and eggs from a much
heavier food than does the pineapple
Juice.
Pineapple syrup. to use for ices or
for beverages. can be made and bot
tied when ~pineapples are least expen-
sive. Weigh the pineapple after it is
peeled and diced and add g third as
much water, by measure, as there Is
sugar. That is to say, IL there Is q
pound and a half of pineapple, use
half a pound, or a cupful OF sugar and
two cupfuls of water. Simmer until
very soft and then press through a
vegetable press. Strain, measure and
return to the fire, with q pound CT
g for each pint of juice. Coo un-
til the sugar is all dissolved and bot
tie while hot Cover the corks with
sealing wax.
Pineapple syrup can be added to any
be made with pineapple and straw
berry syrup diluted with very cold
charged water, poured over shaved Ice.
Orange juice and pineapple, with sliced
n ice, are good together
and pineapple SYRUP added to lemon
d is also refreshing. Mixed with cold
tea, imported ginger ale, and a little
melted grape or currant or ~crabapple
jelly 1t forms another sparkling drink
