picked over and washed. Small fruits
should be taken from the stem, large
fruits should usually be pared, and
sometimes halved or quartered. The
easiest method of removing skins
from peaches and tomatoes is tc
plunge the fruit into boiling water for
two minutes, then into cold, after
which treatment the skins slip of
easily.
Peaches.
Eight quarts OF peaches. one quart of su'
gar and three quarts OF water.
Or, II more syrup Is desired, eight quarts
of peaches, two quarts OF sugar and four
quarts of water
Put sugar and water together and
stir over fire until sugar is dissolved
When the syrup boils skim it. Pare
the peaches, cut in halves, remove
stones, unless you prefer to can the
fruit whole.
Put a layer OF the prepared fruit
into the preserving kettle and cover
with some of the hot syrup. When
the fruit begins TO boil skim carefully
Boil gently ten to fifteen minutes
then put in the sterilized jars and seal
Put another layer OF prepared fruit
in the syrup and proceed as above.
Pears.
Treat exactly as peaches, except
that pears require slightly longer
time for cooking, about twenty-five
minutes for halves. The cooked
fruit should be easily pierced with a
fork
Plums.
Eight quarts OF plums. two quarts Of SUI
gar and one pint of water.
Nearly all kinds of plums can be
cooked with the skins on. If it is
desired to remove the skins of any
variety, plunge them in boiling water
for a few minutes. When the skins
are left on prick them thoroughly to
prevent bursting.
Proceed as with peaches. The time
of cooking is five to ten minutes boil
ing. 1t may be that more syrup is de-
sired; if so, use three quarts of sugar
and one quart of water.

The homemaker, chef OF caterer
who has not made use OF bacon as

opportunities; II,
seem to have the idea it is not good
form to serve bacon excepting tried
with eggs. 1t is best when broile,d,
even though served in the good old
way with fried eggs. But once the
housewife tries the good old standby
in some of its various uses she will
find that there is no need for monot-

The LalDs of Canning.

The old question, DO you have
any luck in keeping your canned
7 fruits" is dying out gradually, as
women come to understand and mas
ter laws Of canning. The housewife
who would understand the why's and
wherefores of the canning process
must 20 back to the science of bac-
teriology for enlightenment. We
know now that the polling Of food,
4 the process of decay, is caused by the
Epresence and action Of microscopic
plants called bacteria, yeasts and
molds. These tiny invisible forms of
! lie are present everywhere. We
cannot eliminate them; but we can
kill them so that they cannot continue
their work OF destruction. The pro-
cess of killing bacterial life is steril-
izing. 1t may be accomplished by
boiling the material to be sacrificed
for twenty to thirty minutes,
Hence the first law of canning. Boil
the fruit sufficiently to sterilize it.
In the case of acid fruits less than
twenty minutes will suffice, because
the fruit acid acts as preservative.
Also, boil all jars and lids for fifteen
minutes, which time is sufficient to
sterilize the smooth surfaces of jars.
Since rubber rings cannot stand long
continued boiling they must merely
be plunged into boiling water imme-
diately before use. Spoons, forks,
ETC., used for putting the fruit into
the jars should also be dipped in boil
ing water.
Sterilization alone, however, will
not insure the keeping of canned
foods. If air can enter the filled jars
it brings with it fresh bacteria, yeasts
and molds, which will cause spelling.
Hence the SECOND law OF canning:
Seal all jars tightly. Fill the jars to
OVERLOOKING and seal Immediately. In
the case of screw top jars the lids
must be screwed tighter after the
glass of the jars has cooled and con-
tracted
There are many methods of carry
ing out these two laws of canning
Vegetable canning can best be done
by the cold pack" method, which
will be discussed later. The old
fashioned method of cooking fruit till
tender in syrup and then filling ster-
ilized jars with the cooked fruit and
syrup produces a finely favored
product.
In all cases the fruit should be

With Salads,
Broil bacon cisp and either crate or
pound very fine. Put in a kitchen salt
shaker and sprinkle over various salads and
scalloped dishes.
very convenient receptacle is made by
punching holes in the top of a baking
powder can.
The Economical Side.
Save every bit OF bacon dripping by
itself, 1t is splendid as a shortening for
pastry or to grease the griddle with.
The foreign housewife has found that
sandwiches Of salt or smoked meat are very
appetizinE when the bread has been spread
with pure bacon drippngs Children relish
these sandwiches when they are made with
very thin slices Of dry Salami sausage.
