To Keep JeI|ies and Preserves

And. of course, the glass jars must be sterilized or the steriliz- ing process with the food would be so much wasted energy. The directions for this are simple. Set the jars in a kettle on trivet and surround them with cold water, then heat gradually to the boiling point, boil for fifteen minutes, remove from the water empty and fill with the fruit or vegetable while hot.
 The rubbers used should be new each season and should be boiled at least twenty minutes before us ing Also the covers must be ster- ilized with all the other utensils that are to be used in the work
 For oven canning, which is the method preferred by many leading spirits in domestic science, fruit should be washed and carefully se- lected Gas for every other method) then arranged neatly in thoroughly sterilized jars
 A syrup of sugar and water is used the same as for cooking in a preserving kettle Fill the hot jars with it, put on the lids without the rubbers. set the jars on strip of asbestos or place them in the oven in shallow pans containing two inches of boiling water.
 Cook for fifteen minutes, keeping the oven moderately hot. The cans should be removed from the oven, one at a time, each filled up with boiling syrup, then a rubber put on and the cans sealed. There are several methods of covering jellies, according to a writer in Gas Logic, and the following are both excellent, Have disks of thick white paper, the size of the top of the glass. top over with brandy or alcohol and also dip the disk of paper in the spirits and put it on the jelly.
 If glasses have covers, put them on. If not cut more disks slightly larger than the first and wet them in mixture of the beaten white of an egg and a tablespoonful of cold water Put these over the tops of the glasses pressing them down well, to make them stick.
 A thick coating of paraffin also makes a good cover
 More and more housewives are emphasizing the value of sanitation in all cooking, and the improved methods of canning and preserving, with precautionary effort in steriliz ing, bring better results as their reward.

DAINTY SLIPPER BAGS.

Slipper bags always are much ad- mired by girls. If one were made to match the scarf the gift would be complete. A bag of white crepe de chine is very beautiful with an applique of several wild roses on one side Line it with white silk and run cord or narrow ribbon through the top.
 Short lengths of attractive ribbon can be joined by overcasting the selyages together, forming strip wide enough for the slipper bag. Plain and figured ribbon are ire quently combined in this manner, Two or three strips of ribbon are required to produce the necessary width. Strips of lace insertion joined to ribbon also make a pretty bag.

FOR A HEALTHY DIGESTION.

In an ordinary case of indigestion care should be practised when the symptoms begin It will probably be necessary to change the diet entirely, the patient taking, for per haps a week at time, milk, and renouncing all ordinary food, such as is apt to give rise to irrita bility of the stomach At a later stage, when the irritation may be pre- sumed to have subsided, gradual return should be made to ordinary diet.
 Potatoes and green vegetables are vegetables which should be prohibit ed until a healthy state of the di- gestion has been established. Tea and coffee had better be replaced by cocoa, and as regards meat foods little finely divided mutton, or fowl or tripe should first be tried Beef should not be taken until the healthy state has been re-estab- lished.
 It will be well to remember the rules for healthy digestion, that there should be rest both before and after meals, and that the food should be thoroughly divided by the teeth. It is also advisable that a less amount should be taken at each meal than the individual thinks he could consume.

The preparation of delicious mar fad of recent years that has been very far reaching. Many women who seldom enter their kitchens except for occasional inspection have found jam making so fascinat ing that it takes precedence over all pastimes in the fruit and berry season says an exchange
 Also canning (which differs from 1 preserving in that there is less sugar used and therefore airtight jars must be used) is interesting women as never before. partly be- l cause fruit and vegetables are plen- tiful and partly because of improved methods, which make 1t a real de fight
 Even the housewife who lives in i series of boxes, in a boX-like apartment, finds keen pleasure in 1 filling some extra boxes (to go un- der the kitchen table or a bed, per 1 haps) with her own brand of spiCed figs. marmalades. fruits etc. There are numerous methods of canning and the secret of success in each is absolute sterilization. Perhaps this fact is one of the newer things in canning, for certainly more heed is given to this phase than ever before.
 The best and the simplest methods of canning are cooking the fruits cooking in jars in a steamer or in boiling water and stewing the fruit before it is put into the jars. In ! Ill canning 1t Is most important that the food be protected from the growth of molds as well aS bacteria and yeasts
 To kill mold spores the food must be exposed to a temperature of from 150 to PIP degrees Fahrenheit Most bacteria and yeasts are de stroyed if exposed for ten or fiji teen minutes to the temperature of boiling water OPP degrees Fahren heiD. although some foods should be cooked an hour or more eff the bacteria are spOre producers)
 Vegetables when canned success fully are especially treasured in winter To protect them from spoil ing there must be not only the mi tial boiling, which disposes of par ent bacteria. but further boilings to kill the spores which otherwise germinate as soon as cooled Sue cessive boilings, preferably a day or two apart of at least five hours at stretch, will annihilate al bacteria

Every housekeeper should know how to test eggs. All eggs deliver ed at the home should be exam ined, and those that are unsatis- factory returned to the seller.
 Heat is the enemy of the egg Every minute a fresh laid egg is exposed to more than 6S degrees Fahrenheit starts it on a down ward career Eggs should be kept in an ice box in summer and in a cool place in winter.
 Testing eggs is known conner cially as "candling" and was for merly done by holding the eggs against a candle light Now the electric light has superseded the candle. It is very easy for the housekeeper to "candle" eggs by holding them against any light in an otherwise darkened pantry.
 The absolutely fresh egg, against the light, shows a distinctive pink. ish glow of goodness, says Good Health. Let that egg. however, re main in the heat for little time and within a day or two it begins to show "blood"--a tiny series of little blood vessels forming around the embryo of the chick or the heat may cause the yolk to go to- ward the top and shift easily, which characteriZes it as a light floater.

But the skin can be kept soft without these expensive aids
 I use a brush a great deal, a .omb rarely The brush can per form the offices of both. I regard the comb as a cruel instrument prone to pull the hair from its roots and tear it.
 When my hair becomes too oily 1 have a teaspoonful of soda placed in the bowl in which it is washed Or quarter teaspoonful of am mona- not more, lest it dry the hair. IL is a harsh agent. l like always to have my hair dried in the sun. The heat that pours forth from the artificial dryers used in hair dressing parlorS is abominable. Too great heat does positive in jury to the hair, The result is soon seen in it's brittleness.
 If the hair is dry this tonic with scalp frictions should change the condition:
 Spirit of wine, 6 ounces
 Castor oil, F drams.
 Peruvian balsam, 8 grains. Resorcin. 16 dram
 Sometimes the scalp is too ten der to endure soda or ammonia in water In that case use the yolk of an egg instead of soap.
 Look to your brushes. They are the index of the health and cleanli- ness of the hair. Never use a brush that is - not perfectly clean. Keep them clean by dipping them into warm water, into half a gallon of which you have poured a half deZen drops of ammonia. Soap the water well rather than the brush, for the bristles of the brush are sensitive things.
 If your hair is dusty the towel may supplement the work of the | brush. Strand by strand wipe the l hair from roots to ends with a soft 1 towel This will remove an amaz- ing amount of the days accumula- tion of dust
 Let the brush be neither too stiff nor too soft. Avoid wire brushes and shun fine combs.
 There are practical minds that always ask the question How? That is especially true of America I hear the word How" spoken oftener than it's equivalent in all other countries I have visited. How massage the scalp?" I hear some bright-eyed maid or matron ask.
 There are two methods of scalp massage. One is rotary Press the finger tips upon each part of the scalp in turn and move those tips in a slow, circular fashion. An, other method is that of light, lift ing, pressing motion. Press the palms against the sides of the head and gently raise it toward the crown Repeat this at the back of the head and the front until every part of the scalp has been covered. This
 is a good method of friction for tired nerves.

province of Sewanee, delivered an ad-
dress on foreign missions. DR.. Patton's

While Dr. Patton has delivered sew
eral inspiring addresses here, none was
more favorably received than that Of
last night. The men Of the parish who
met at the church were previously served
with dinner.
DR.. Patton is a man of unusual ability
as a speaker, and talks on missions in
a way that enthuses his hearers. His
comparisons and illustrations were clever
and entertaining, and continued to bring
home point after point in his plea for
more money for the foreign fields
DR.. Patton presented the bright side
Of the mission work, showing what mad
been done, and the relation existing pc
tween these countries and the United
States He spoke of the evolution of man.
his increase in power and the divine pur-
pose of his creation. Invention, progress
of production and output were used as
illustrations for the business man to look
at what DIR. Patton called business prop
osition for the Kingdom of God
According to the Rev. Willoughby N.
.Claybrool1 rector of the parish, no greater
influence has ever been brought to bear
or the parish, and as a result of the
series of meetings held by DIR. Patton, a
campaign will be started tomorrow to
raise money for the cause of missions
and for the support of the church. More
than SO persons in automobiles will make
a canvass of the parish this afternoon.
