MIXED FRUIT RECIPES
FREQUENTLY AN ADVANTAGES M
A COMBINATION.
excellent Jelly, MarmaIade and Pasta
prepared From a Mixture of Gran
berries and Appies-Economv
IN the Scheme.

IL IS often a decided advantage to
the nousekeeper to make jelly out of a
combination of fruits-sometime ba-
cause the combined flavor NAV he
preferable to either alone and some
times because it may be more eco.
nomlcal, as, for instance, when she
mas TOO little of either fruit to use for
thls purpose, or, to cite another in
stance, when she wishes to extend
the flavor of some special fruit as
ounce through considerable amount
OF material less highly favored, as
apple. Sometimes, too. there is an
advantage in both flavor and color. as
when cranberry is combined with mild.
favored apples.
An excellent combination for home
made jelly, according to the home eco
nomics experts of the department who
have been studying the uses of differ
ent fruits, is cranberry with apple.
Equal quantities of cranberries and of
apples cut up into small pieces should
be just covered with water and boiled
until the fruit is soft. Strain the juice
through cheesecloth. Add to the pulp
the same amount of water as at first,
boil the pulp a second time. strain as
before, and combine the two lots of
Juice. Add three-fourths as much SUI
gar by measure to the juice, and boil
again. The jelly is done when a few
drops taken up with mixing spoon
will flake on the spoon as it cools in
stead of dropping off of it. Pour the
jelly into glasses which have just been
sterilized in boiling water and thor
oughly drained. Seal the glasses in
the ordinary way
The pulp which remains after the
juice has been drained off for jelly can
be used to make excellent marina
lade," or fruit cheese" as old-time
housekeepers called it. The pulp
should be passed through sieve, an
equal weight of sugar added to it.
and boiled until it is thick and firm.
1t must be stirred frequently so that
it will not burn. The thick marina
lade should be poured into freshly
scalded glasses or jars. While the
color is not quite SO good as jelly,
the flavor is distinctive and good, and
such fruit cheese" is delicious when
spread on bread and butter or when
used for filling bread-and-butter sand
witches. If less sugar is added in max
Ing marmalade, it can be used in place

Lentil Loaf.

One quart can tomatoes, or enough
to make two cupfuls after being boiled
down and strained; one-fourth bay
Leaf, two cloves, one small slice onion,
one cupful lentils, two tablespoonful
butter, salt. Boil the tomatoes with
the seasoning and strain. There
should be about two cupfuls of juice.
Add one cupful of lentils, which have
been washed and picked over, and the
butter and salt. Cook until the len
ills are soft and the liquid all alb
sorbed. It is we'll to do this in a
double boiler, though the first part of
the cooking may be done with the
upper part of the boiler set on the
stove instead of over water. Turn
out into a square buttered mold. When
cold cut into slices. The lentils may
be soaked overnight in water, drained,
and baked slowly for three or four
hours with the tomato juice.

PlCkLIhG CARROTS AND BETS
winter Vegetables Are Invaluable for
hePienishing the Cupboard
Fixing Sweet Peppers.

For picking baby carrots great care
must be taken in choosing firm and
well-rlpened vegetables. The advan-
tage OF preparing these winter vege-
tables is that they can be picked or
canned with much greater ease than
IN the summer when a warm kitchen
is an adherence. A few cans of car
rots, beets or peppers are a real addi-
tlon TO the seasons store without ex-
ira cost of any sort.
Boil the carrots until tender and
then rub off the skins in cold water.
Cut them up (unless you are using
the young carrots | mentioned above:
IN that case use them whole. Pour
cold vinegar over them; add slice
OF onion, two bay leaves, and a tea
spoonful of celery seed to each one
half dozen carrots. Do up in alright
Jars, and let the Jars stand upside
down over night and if any LIQUID
runs out, screw them up little more
tightly the next morning.
Picked beets may be treated in
the same way. Use one dozen good
sized beets, two quarts of vinegar, one
quarter of an ounce of mace, one-uuar-
ter OF an ounce of ginger, one salt
spoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls
of grated horseradish.
Boil the beets until tender, then re-
move the skins and cut them up. plac-
ing them in jars Put the vinegar into
porcelain-lined kettle, adding mace.
ginger and pepper. When this reaches
the boiling point take from the fire:
then add horseradish and pour, hot,
over the beets. Seal up in alright
jars, using the same test for tight
ness.
Red and green sweet peppers may
be put up, too. Cut a slice from the
stem end of each pepper and take out
the seeds, then cut it into a thin strip,
going round and round the pepper with
sharp knife. Cover with boiling wa
ter for two minutes, drain, and place
in iced water for ten minutes. Drain
again and pack into glass jars Boil
vinegar in the proportion of one quart
to two cupfuls Of sugar fifteen min

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made it clear that the revenue will be
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent, and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern.
ment. Transportation companies,
banks, mining, milling. and other com
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies, and com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies
firms, or individuals engaged in aori'
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only otherN additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and com
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars. and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases
and ten per cent in others, of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those VINO
nave been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertiseme

Their Value Is Too Frequently Ignored
Some Breakfasts That Are
Little Different.

Try combining for breakfast prunes
mashed and slightly sweetened, with
an omelet, spreading a cupful of them
on them before folding over. Dried
apples which have been soaked and
we'll drained may be fried like fresh
apples and served with the bacon. A
pound of dates cooked with pint of
cornmeal, a teaspoonful of salt, a ia
blespoonful of flour and a pint of cold
milk will vary the morning mush. A
cupful OF stoned, chopped dates is an
agreeable addition to apple sauce,
added when the apples are almost
cooked Baked apples are delicious if
the centers are filled with stewed
prunes. If cooked prunes or dates are
chopped fine they may be added to
the breakfast mullins, thus giving va
riety to an everyday dish. Many a
child who will not eat cereal in the
morning can be tempted to do so if
chopped dates or figs are allowed to
simmer a few minutes and then mixed
with the cereal, or placed around it.
Don't leave your raisin jar on the
shelf, using it only occasionally, for
this most valuable dried fruit will
supply elements necessary to health at
a minimum cost. When properly
baked in bread they are almost ideal
