FATHER sTIcKLEBAcK.

what do you think of a fish that
builds a nest?" asked Uncle Ben.
"a nest down in the water? echoed
little Ned and Polly Ann.
"Yes," replied Ben, "a nest that looks
very much like the nests the birds
build in the treetops.
'aThe fish is named the stickleback-
The father fish builds the nest and
takes care of the little ones.
"The fish do not live in the nest, but
the wife lays the eggs from which the
young fish hatch inside of it.
1.-THE nest has two doors, and they
open in such directions that the ocean
current passes through them instead
of beating against the frail walls OF
the nest and battering them down, as
it might do in time.
'The gum with which the fish CLUES
together the parts of the nest is spun
out of its body, just as the spider
spins out the silk for its web.
Mrs. Stickleback is a great gadder.
After she leaves the eggs in the nest
she goes swimming off and never both
ers about the little fishes.
"Father Stickleback, who has built
the nest, watches over it till the little
ones come out of the eggs. Then he
guards them until they are old enough
to take care of themselves.
1T must be a fine thing to see him
swimming about with his little ones
focking about him. If any strange
fish tries to bother them Father Sickle
back flies at him in a fine rage, and 1t
is apt to go hard with the one who
makes the trouble, for sticklebacks are
fine fighters. They have a row of sharp
spines on their backs, and with these
they can rip and tear their enemies
severely.
although so kind to their own young
ones, the sticklebacks are not so good
to the young of other fishes. Indeed,
it is said that it is their weakness for
making a meal of their neighbors' ba-
bies that has made them so disliked
by the other jewellers in the water.
There is one family of sticklebacks
that live in the ocean, and they make

gether with a sticky thread which the
| fish supplies.
There are other sticklebacks that
live in fresh water, and their nests are
made of small sticks and twigs which
they can gather together on the river
bottom and are glued together by
means of the sticky liquid which the
fish provides.
1.-THE openings in the nest are always
turned the same way that the water
runs, so that it may sweep through in
stead of against the sides of the nest.

CANNING : HELPS.
The Department of Agriculture
Tells Us How to Preserve.
THE WAYS TO SAVE SUGAR.

Fruits Put UP Without Strip Do Not
Retain Their Color Well, but They
Are Excellent For Sauces, Salads and
Desserts That Are Sweet Enough.
In these days of high prices, with
sugar foremost on the aviation list,
many housewives have taken serious
thought as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of put
ting up less fruit than usual
This is a pity, because home canned
fruit is not only safe and sure, but
most delicious. 1t need not be as rich
as preserves. In fact, many ep1cures
regard fruit as refreshing in exact pro-
portion to the smallness OF the amount
of sugar used to preserve.
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.
The canning specialists Of the depart
ment of agriculture advise the house
wives who, in order to economic on
sugar, have been thinking Of reducing
the amount Of fruit they put up, to
can as much of their surplus as posi-
BILE by the use Of boiling water when
sugar strip is beyond their means.
ANY fruit, say the specialists, may
be successfully sterilized and retained
in the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of the hot strip.
The use of sugar, Of course, is de-
sirable in the canning Of all kinds OF
fruits and makes a better and ready
sweetened product. Moreover, most
of the fruits when canned in water
alone do not retain their natural fla
vor, texture and color as well as fruit
put up in strip. Fruit canned without
sugar to be used for sauces or desserts
must be sweetened.
Can the product the same day 1t 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 closely in glass jars or tin cans
until they are full, using the handle of
tablespoon, wooden ladle or table
knife for packing purposes.
Pour over the fruit boiling water
from kettle; place rubbers and caps
in position: partially seal if using glass
Jars; seal completely if using tin cans.
Place the containers in sterilizing
vat, such as a wash boiler with false
bottom, or other receptacle improvised
for the purpose.
If using a hot water bath outfit proc
ess for thirty minutes, counting time
after the water has reached the boil
ing point. The water must cover the
highest Jar in the container.
After steriliZing remove packs. seal
glass jars. wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching and store in dry. cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will
improve the product to plunge the cans
quickly into cold water Immediately
| after sterilization.
When using a steam pressure Gamer
instead of the hot water bath, sterilize
for ten minutes with five pounds OF
steam pressure. Never allow the pres
sure to go over ten pounds.

medium weight brOadclOth with high
satin shine is right for the warmer
weather. There will be some coverts

Cashmere velours will be used for
both suits and coats, as well as for

THE EXPECTANT MOTHER.
5000 So. State Street
Phode Douglas 3617

Every pregnant woman should be un-'
der the constant care and supervision
of a physician during the last three
months before term. Such procedure
will prevent many of the serious dis
orders that are often experienced be-
fore, during and after confinement. The
fact that woman has passed through
a number of confnements without I'M
fortunate conditions does not guarantee
that the most dreadful maladies will
not come. But it is thought by many
that a safe and easy labor or num-
Der of the same mean immunity from
the dangers that are sometimes en-
countered.
During the last three months before
the expected event, the doctor should
be every two weeks given four ounce
bottle of the urine of the mother so that
periodical examinations may be made to
determine and prevent dangers, such as
commissions. When the woman develops
a certain symptoms the normal pregnancy
ceases and a pathological pregnancy fol
lows. The most dreaded commissions,
called also eclampsia, is an acute NOR
bid condition, terrifying and it can be
detected before its advent by urinary
findings. The doctor can in most cases

Hay Coming Into

ket through the new Omaha Hay ex
change is thus far of rather poor
quality. This is due to theafact that
it is early in the season. Much old
hay is coming in that has been
partly spoiled, and the new hay is
largely improperly cured for the long
shipment on cars. ',,-
Especially is this true of the new
alfalfa coming in, Much Of it has not
been cured properly before baling.
In the tight bales there is tendency
for the hay to heat and mould, par
ticularly so where il is packed closely

it in cars to give it the maximum
