MIXED FRUIT RECIPES
AN ADVANTAGE IN
A COMBINATION.
Excellent Jelly, Marmalsde and Paste
Prepared From Mixture of Gran
berries and Apples-Economy
in the Scheme.

1t is often a decided advantage to
the housekeeper to make Jelly out of a
combination of fTuits-sometime be-
cause the combined flavor may be
preferable to either alone and some
times because it may be more eco
nomical, as, for instance, when she
has too little of either fruit to use for
this purpose, or, to cite another in
stance, when she wishes to extend
the flavor of some special fruit as
ounce through a considerable amount
of material less highly Favored, as
apple. Sometimes, too. there is an
advantage in both favor and color as
when cranberry is combined with mild
favored apples.
An excellent combination for home
made jelly, according to the home eco
Monies experts of the department who
have been studying the uses of differ
ent fruits, is cranberry with apple.
Equal quantities of cranberries and Of
apples cut up into small pieces should
be just covered with water and boiled
until the fruit is soft. Strain the juice
through cheeseclOth. Add to the pulp
the same amount Of water as at first,
boil the pulp d second time, strain as
before, and combine the two lots OF
juice. Add tbree-fourths as much su.
gar by measure to the juice, and boil
again. The jelly is done when a few
drops taken up with a mixing spoon
will flake on the spoon as it cools in
stead of dropping off of it. Pour the
Jelly into glasses which have just been
sterilized in boiling water and thor
oughly drained Seal the glasses in
the ordinary way
The pulp which remains after the
juice has been drained off for jelly can
be used to make excellent marina
lade," or fruit cheese" as old-time
housekeepers called it. The pulp
should be passed through a sieve, an
equal weight of sugar added to it,
and boiled until it is thick and firm.
1t must be stirred frequently so that
it will not burn. The thick marina
lade should be poured into freshly
scalded glasses or jars. While the
color is not quite so good as jelly,
the flavor Is distinctive and good, and
such fruit cheese" is delicious when
spread on bread and butter or when
used for filling bread-and- butter sand
witches. If less sugar is added in max
ing marmalade, it can be used in place
of fresh or dried apples for Brown
Betty and similar fruit puddings.

PiCKLING CARROTS AND BETS
Winter Vegetables Are Invaluable for
Repienishing the Cupboard
Fixing Sweet Peppers.

For picking baby carrots great care
must be taken in choosing firm and
well-ripened vegetables. The advan-
tage of preparing these winter vege-
tables is that they can be picked or
canned with much greater ease than
in the summer when a warm kite hen

ton to the seasons store without ex-

Boil the carrots until tender and
then rub off the skins in cold water.

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
Sc Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton win Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
UnnoticeabIe.

So many rumors have been circu.
lated regarding war taxation in
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
Of Finance, of the Governments plans
for raising war revenue should be CIV
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made II clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor-
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits OF uuincOrporated firms or part
neFships when the profits exceed ten
per cent On all such excess profits
THESE companies or firms will have TO
contribute one-Quarter to the Govern
ment transportation companies.
banks, mining, milling, and other com
panies will be subject to this taxation.
but life insurance companies. and com
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization. and compan es.
firms, or individuals engaged in aari.
culture or stock raising, are exempt,
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro.
posed is an increase of fifty cents a
barrel in the customs duty on apples.
and one-half cent a gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds OF oils.
II will be noticed that this taxation
is being applied in such a way that it
does not affect farmers in the slight
est degree. except, perhaps, through a
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue is to be paid out
of the profits of the big firms and com
panies with capital of over nifty thou
sand dollars, and even these are al.
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent IN others. of clear
profits before they have to pay any
part of this taxation 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
nave been making big profits and are
able to pay it, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraiSing by eXempting
farmers and stoCk-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land is being taxed to pay the cost OF
the war. Advertisement.
