CANNING FRUIT
 WITHOUT SUGAR

Fruit for use in pie or salads or as stewed fruit can be put up or canned without the use of any sugar at all, according to the canning specialists of the Department. They, therefore, advise those who, because O: the high price of sugar, have been thinking of reducing the amouont of fruit they put up, to can as much of their sur plus as possible by the use of boiling water when sugar sirup is beyond their means Any fruit, they say, may be successfully sterilized and re, tained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the hot syrup. The use of sugar, of course, is desir- able in the canning of all kinds Of fruits and makes better and ready sweetened product. Moreover, most of the fruits when canned in water alone do not retain their natural ha- vor, texture and color as we'll as fruit put up in syrup. Fruit canned with out sugar to be used for sauces or des- serts must be sweetened. Directions for Canning
 Fruits Without Syrup.
 Can the product the same day it is picked. Gull, stem, or seed, and clean the fruit by placing it in a strainer and pouring water over it until it is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of a tablespoon, wooden 1adle, or table knife for pack ing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle, place rub bers and caps in position, partially seal if using glass jars, seal completely if using tin cans. Place the contain CTS in sterilizing vat such as a wash boiler with false bottom, or other re- ceptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath outfit. pro- cess for 30 minutes; count time after the water has reached the boiling point; the water must cover the high est jar in container. After sterilizing remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleaching and store in a dry, cool place.
 If you are canning. in. tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water fmme- diately after sterilization. When us- ing as team pressure canner instead of the hot water bath, sterilize for 10 minutes with five pounds of steam pressure. Never allow the pressure to go over 10 pounds.

TREATY BLOCKS WAR;

Paris, Aug. Tine only reason which has so far prevented Germany from declaring war on Italy, says the Petit Parisien, is a commercial treaty signed between the two, countries in 1891 and renewed in 1904. This treaty subordinated Italy to Germany economically, according to the paper, and was considered of the greatest im- portance by Germany. The Parisien says that it understands Italy has now denounced this treaty and thereby left the way clear for declaration of hostilities.
