By MARGARET HAMELIN

THE Northern housewife often thinks
longingly Of the dainty Zig preserves"
l. that perhaps she has tasted while on
visit to some Southern friends; but as ripe figs
are rarely obtainable in our markets, she re-
luctantly concludes that it is dellcacy that
she must do without.
Unfortunately, we hear nowadays Of so
MANY Knock dishes" that naturally the care
full housewife is wary of trying them. In the
following recipe, however, obtained from
noted Southern cook, the mock fig preserve"
will be found worthy of all praise.
A common everyday vegetable is used in
place of the figs, namely, the eggplant. If the
directions given below are carefully, followed,
the result can hardly be distinguished from
the finest fig preserve:
MOCK FIG PRESERVES.
Peel and cut into squares as many eggplants
as you wish to use. Let the vegetable stand
for several hours in very cold water to which
a little bit of alum has been added. Have in
readiness simple syrup made from the best
granulated sugar and water, the proportions
to use for tho syrup being three parts sugar to
one part water Then add the prepared vege-
table bits o. sliced lemon, q piece or two OF
ginger root and a little grated nutmeg. Watch
the preserve carefully and boil until the egg
plant IS tender but not soft. Stir constantly TO
prevent sccrching, and cook over very mod
crate heat.
The proportion of the eggplant and sugar
is ne same as for any other preserve. Pour
boiling not into heated, sterilized jars; fill them
TO overlooking, and seal alright with rubbers
and not covers.

education should revolve around these three
great problems as the pivot; for the sum total
of feminine effort should be the completely
realized home. A woman without humanity
cannot create home, and a woman with it
can solve all the other problems Of life as they
presented to her.
1T seems very terrible to me that In America
cannot associate charm of manner, pretty
clothes, delightful mpanionship-and house
work. believe they are absolutely compatible.
I'm France al our young girls like pretty
clothes. They should like them. All young
people should want to be pretty and charming,
but it Is just as essential TO want pretty homes
and TO want 70 know how to make them pretty

What every young girl should want and Is

that the Door young girl is likely TO be failure

PUBLIC OPINION
OPPORTUNITIES o FOR
GRANTS PASS ARE NOTED

Viewing as a near outsider the op-
portunity which has come Offering
good fortune to Grants Pass, with
fortunes for her people In the beet
sugar factory now about to commence
It's first campaign with only one
quarter OF the tonnage OF beets II
should have to do Itself and Grants
Pass It's full measure OF good, per-
NIT me through your journal to make
q helpful suggestion toward making
the best Of that opportunity next year
and afterward.
Within the incorporated limits Of
Grants Pass there are about six hun
dred acres OF vacant lots and blocks.
Why not plant them In beets and
make the profit OF the planting, every
year so large that 1t will be both an
example and an incentive to the own
ers OF farms adjoining the city?
The vacant city lots and blocks
have the water In pipes in the streets
In front Of them. II there are no
pipes. or too small pipes, or II the
water company's price for water is
too high, and the water company
makes difficulties about providing the
water or making the price right. there
Is no need OF fussing with the water
company. Talk business to the writer
instead. and think ! may say right
now that you will get the water at
the right price.
The land Of these lots and blocks
lies right for irrigation. Fifteen tons
OF beets to an acre can be expected
from II as II Is. but II can do more
Feed the soil with the proper fer.
tillzers and II will produce more than
twenty tons to the acre--with care In
planting. cultivation and irrigating
more than twenty-five tons to the
acre. and do It one year after another
without rotation OF crops.
It will pay and pay big. not onl,
In cash but in prosperity. city pride
and city credit The credit 1t will
bring the city will be several timei
the cash II will bring the growers o.
the beets. but the cash is big thini
itself. The cost OF fertilizing, plant
ing. cultivatlng. irrigating and har
vesting twenty tons of beets from al
acre will not exceed $50. Feeding
fertilizers, the increase of sugar con
tent OF the beets will make them sci
for Sc a ton. $40 for the product O.
an acre, of which $40 will be the casl
profit. Is not that cash money wortl
while for itself?
Then suggest. add sportin
chance to the growing. Make pc
OF say $1,000 and split 1t into prize
for the heaviest tonnage OF beet
grown to an acre and for the larges
amounts OF sugar produced to tn
acre.
II is all worth while from the pros
} perity standpoint. The profits o
cane sugar growing have made mil
} lionaires and bankers of the Hawaiian
and Cuban planters. Beet sugar cal
be produced cheaper than cane sugar
nearer the consuming market thai
cane sugar. and sells at the sam
price. Such comparisons. which
know OF my own knowledge to b
true as / state them, tell their Owl
story OF the opportunity for gaininj
great wealth. which knocks once onl
at the doors OF Grants Pass, ant
which will knock 1t down II 1t is no
