TO CAN FRUIT IN OVEN
By This Method Fruit Retains It's Shape, Color and Flavor to
 Remarkable Extent.

Cooking canned fruit in the oven is easily and quickly done, while the fruit retains it's shape, color and fla vor better than when cooked in a pre- serving kettle.
 Cover the bottom of the oven with a sheet of asbestos, the same as used by plumbers for covering furnace pipes. This is very reasonable at any plumbing shop. If it is impossible to purchase the asbestos, use large pan in which there is about two inches of boiling water. Thoroughly sterilize the jars and utensils Make the sirup of sugar and water as sweet as need ed. Prepare the fruit the same as for cooking in the preserving kettle. Fill the hot jars with this, pouring in sufficient sirup to fill the jar. Run the blade of a silver knife around the inside of each jar. (Never use a steel knife.) Place the jars in the oven either on the asbestos or in the open pan of water.
 The oven should be moderately hot. Cook the fruit ten minutes. Remove from the oven and fill each jar with boiling sirup. Wipe and seal. If the screw covers are used, tighten them after the glass has thoroughly cooled.
 Large fruits may require a pint of sirup to each quart jar of fruit The small fruit will require a little over half pint of the sirup.-Ladies' World.

SOME SIMPLE FOOD TESTS
How Ptomaine Poisoning Can Be Avoided by Testing Contents of
 Can for Copper.

Chicory is not harmful and some like it, but when we buy coffee we don't want to pay coffee price for chic ory. To find cut whether you are buy ing the real thing, put a tablespoonful of the coffee in glass; pour cold wa ter over it, and watch.
 If the coffee is pure the water will hardly be stained. If chicory is pres ent it turns the water a deep brown color.
 Here is a good test for canned foods: Put bright, clean steel knife in the contents directly you open the can. Leave for minute. If copper is present it will be seen on the knife's blade and you've escaped ptomaine poisoning.
 Fresh eggs will always sink In wa ter. Stale eggs have smooth and glassy shells; fresh eggs have lime like surface.

Candied Peaches.

Weigh the peaches, and to each pound allow three-quarters of pound of sugar. Cut each peach into about six pieces. Add just enough water to moisten the sugar and melt it over the fire. Boil each piece Of peach in it until it is tender, but not until it breaks easily. Remove from the thick sirup again and then in sugar and re- peat until the peach is thoroughly dr1ed. Pack in covered glass iars.

Kitchen Tables.

Two tables in the kitchen lessen work, one preferably zinc-covered to be used for such rough work as pre- pairing vegetables and meats and dish ing up meals, the other for general convenience. Close to the first, which should be on castors but stand near sink and stove, should be meat-block meat-saw, meat-knife, small cleaver, food-chopper or a bowl and chopping knife, pairing knife, vegetable cutters, skewers, basting spoons and such other articles as are frequently used at this table.

Frosted Peaches.

Select firm, good peaches. Rub care fully to remove fuzz. Beat the whites of six eggs, with a scant cupful of water. Dip the peaches in this, then roll in powdered sugar, lay on paper in sun to dry. Repeat until there Is thick coating of the sugar around the peach. If entirely covered, these will keep for long time, and this is a favorite English method of preparing peaches.

which the trospector comes in con tact.
 This is the first of a series of five courses to be given for the prespec- tor, these five courses being the last for the prospector that will be giv- en for year. It is hoped that all who intend registering will report at the University on Monday altho there is no penalty for late registra- tion.
 The short course which starts on October IS tn will be continuation of course No.1, elemen tary geology and petrology. Course 2 will have considerable more field and labora- tory work, and will lay particular stress upon the interpretation of government typographical maps. It is perfectly possible for student to register for course without hav- ing taken the first, but unless one has had by reason of experience or education some work in mineralo- gy, it is highly desirables that he take the first course also.

The same papers express the greatest dissatisfaction because of the fact that such decisive defeat has been inflicted Some of them declare the government to be entirely at fault for not having sent stronger forces

WASHINGTON Oec 13.-Lansing has received no reply to the note sent Austria demanding reparaton for the sinking of the liner Ancona and the situation IS extremely grave. Unless satisfactory answer soon comes there nothing left but the severance of relations between the two nations. In his note to the Austrian government President Wilson characterized the sinking of the Ancona as Illegal ndefenSibe inhuman barbar- ous and wanton slaughter of defenSeeSS men, women and children The president also declared that the good relations of the two countries can only rest upon com- mon regard for the law and humanity. Officials do not attempt to conceal the belief that the matter has reached
 very serious stage AS stated before the note to Vienna was nothing short of an ultimatum.
