Instability is bred in the bone Of the

that right: "Erring sisters, depart IN

no scraps or by products Of any kind
are allowed TO go to waste. 1t is safe
to say that never before in this region
has better use been made of the fruit

Over the regular uniforms the soldiers
wear white robes for the sake Of great

these kitchens It will be noticed that
the brass buttons of the uniforms ap-

soldiers must have their jam, come
what may.
To a limited extent the German sol
diers may be said to have become An
glicized. The Germans know a good
thing when they see It. and are much
too broad minded to neglect a good
custom merely because it. has been util-
lied by an enemy. And so when they
found themselves in possession Of the
material for manufacturing the famous
English jams they at once made the
most Of the opportunity. German sol
diers by the thousand are now enjoy

the war IS over they may have acquir-

as it is in England.

Throughout the entire area Of north
ern Europe occupied at present By the
German troops nothing is allowed TO
90 TO waste. Every crop is being in
diligently utilized to the best possible
Jpurpose. In some parts Of northern
France this year the fruit has been es-
pecially plentiful Under ordinary con
ditions this crop would have reached
only a comparatively small proportion
Of the population. The Germans with
characteristic energy and efficiency
have quickly organized a great indus
try which turns the fruit into delicious
>3ams and preserves Of many kinds and
assures it a wide distribution.
Until the German and English sol
diers met in the present conflict fruit
Jams have been distinctively an Eng
