screwed on within two turns Of being tight;
with Lightning jar the top wire is adjusted,
but not the clamp. Economy jars are clamped
tight All jars with glass covers are turned
upside down to heat the tops before placing
them in the kettle.
This method of canning is called the "cold
pack method because the fruits and vege-
tables are put in the jars cold; in contrast to
the old open kettle method, by which the jars
we're filled with cooked fruit.
There are three thicknesses of syrup used.
A thin syrup, boiled only long enough to dis
solve all the sugar, is used for sweet fruits
such as cherries, peaches and apples. a me-
diun syrup, which is boiled until it begins to
thicken when cooled on the finger or spoon, is
used for medium sweet fruits, such as black
berries. currants, blueberres and raspberries.
A still thicker syrup, which is boiled until it
rolls up on the spoon when poured, is used
for sour fruits, such as gooseberries, sour
apples. Strawberries and red raspberries, be-
cause of their delicate flavor.

And now we come TO the drying OF fruits
and vegetables. a most important matter.
Miss Allen shows three methods of doing
this, but the preliminary preparations are
the same in all three. In the first place the
fruits and vegetables selected for drying
should be absolutely fresh and in perfect con-
dition: the better the raw material the better
the dried product.
The fruit or vegetable is first washed and
hulled, stemmed or seeded, as the case may be.
Root vegetables-that is, potatoes, carrots, tur-
nips, etc-shoud be pared. The vegetables
are shredded or sliced in pieces one-eighth to
one-fourth of an inch in thickness, the smaller
ones halved or left whole; apples are sliced.
They are then blanched in steamer from
three to ten minutes and are ready for the
drier.
THREE METHODS OF DRYING
The three methods of drying are as follows:
First there is the hot water jacket. This is
q shallow box made Of metal with hollow
space inside for hot water on the principle of
the old-fashioned chop plate. This is placed
on the gas stove or over the holes Of an ordl-
nary coal stove, and the vegetables or fruit
are laid on piece Of cheesecloth on top.
This process takes usually from three to five
hours, according to the kind of vegetable to
be dried.
The second method is the hot air method,
The work is accomplished by placing the fruit
or vegetable on trays of wire netting bound
together by wooden laths and suspended over
the stove. Miss Allen has invented drier
of her own on the same principle, which does
the work quicker and better. This is Chin
ney-ike jacket holding three trays OF wire
mesh, entirely surrounded by corrugated paste
board set on an asbestos base. The jacket
promotes a more rapid circulation of hot air
and protects the food from dust and dirt
The third method is the electric fan. II one
New-York tribune., 1917-06-24

has electricity in the house this is the easiest
of all, as it requires practically no attention.
THIS process, however, takes longer than the
others, usually requiring six to eight hours
1t is very satisfactory, and, if combined with
hot air, is particularly efficient.
The fruit or vegetables are placed on
series of wooden trays with wire netting bot
toms and open ends mounted one on top of
another in front of sxteea-nch electric fan.
The air should be forced slightly upward and
through the trays, neuer should it beat down
upon them. In damp weather the process
should be supplemented by placing the product
in slow oven, heated thoroughly but kept
below two hundred degrees.
AFTER THE DRYING
It is impossible to give definitely the length
Of time required by the different processes for
drying the various fruits and vegetables; this
one learns from experience. The product is
dry when no moisture can be pressed from
the ends of the pieces, yet it should not be
so dry that it will snap. 1t should be leathery
and pliable.
Before being finally packed away in the fibre

now placed in hot water bath. The ap-
paratus may be either not water bath can
ner, which is rather expensive, or an ordinary
wash boiler or any large kettle or pail that
has cover and will accommodate wire rack
in the bottom.
The jars are placed on this rack so that the
water circulates under them. There is depth
of from one to three inches of water above
them. The time for sterilization is counted
from the minute that the water begins to jump
over the entire surface. When the time is up
the jars are taken out, the tops frightened and
the deed is done.
Simple, isn't it? And sure! That's the
beauty Of it.
New-York tribune., 1917-06-24
THE COMMUNITY CANNER

A steam pressure canner reduces the time
Of sterilization, but it is expensive and not
necessary for ordinary household canning.
There is, however, large steam pressure
Gamer, known as "the community canner,
which is shown in The Tribune Institute ex-
hibit. This holds from thirty TO forty cans
and is used by the various canning clubs which
have been established all over the country
The time required for processing is given
in the canning bulletin which the government
issues for the various fruits and vegetables.
These directions, which you will probably want
to cut out and keep, are boxed for your con-
venience and printed on this page
1t is necessary to blanch vegetables before
they are packed in the jars. This is done by
placing them in wire basket or cheese
cloth bag and putting them in kettle of boil
ing water where they arc left from one to
fifteen minutes, depending on the vegetable
used. They are then taken from the hot water
and plunged Immediately into cold water ms
hardens the pulp and sets the color and flavor
The greens, like spinach, arc preferably
banched in live steam.

A VICTORY WITHOUT RESULTS

The capital may be removed from Petrograd soon
la recent dispatch from that city. The capture of the
islands at the mouth of the gulf of Riga opens the way
would if it not that winter already prevents land
movements of any extent for the speedy capture of the
Russian capital by the German forces 1t is hardly pos
sbe the Russians in their demorazed condition could
put up successful resistance under good weather con-
dtons, but with the elements working with them they
can easily stop almost any German advance overland
This that for six months the Russian capital would
be safe but with the opening of spring. unless the Rus
SLAMS in the meanwhile pull themselves together
Petrograd would be doomed 1t is hardly probable though
that the Germans will undertake any extended campaign
in Russia The main object was accomplished in the
capture of the forts at the mouth of the gulf and the dv
ing back of the Russian fleet This is being heralded in
Germany great victory while in fact it gets the Ger
nowhere and in its results outside of heartening
the German people, amounts to nothing.
If the capital is moved it will be more for political pur
poses than anything ese though it will make it safer

THE ONLY WAY

L
| 1t always annoyed me exceedingly
when Elsie intimated that I did not
know how to manage Bob. I was pos
tive that my way was the only way;
that to work on his feelings by pose
of misery would sooner bring him to
my way of thinking than anything
else would do.
What man could enjoy himself if he
know that the woman who loved him
so dearly was alone, and miserable,
not because she cared to go out; or
that she craved excistement; but be-
cause she loved him so well she was
unhappy when he was away; because
she wanted nothing, no one but him.
I made no reply to Elsie's remark
anent the mistake I was making in
my way Of managing Bob, and soon
she was all interest in my work. I
was making lovely toilet set for
mothers Christmas; lounging robe
for Father; and the smartest smoking
jacket for Bob.
'fYou are wonderful with your
needle, Margaret! Elsie said "and
a perfect housekeeper-I wonder if
it pays9"
FWhy of course it pays! Bob loves
his home. He is proud of my good
housekeeping. He often tells me So"
"Proud-yes. But"
"What do you mean, Elsie7"
"There are other things in life be-
side good housekeeping, 1 wonder if
it is the part of wisdom to have all
your eggs in the housekeeping basket,
Margaret All men like their homes
to be comfortable; they like good
food; but don't you think that they
also like companionship; intelligent
and congenial friends; and-well lots
of other things as well as well kept
home. A man can hire good house
keeper, you know. He doesn It have to
get married to have one."
Della just then announced dinner,
and so was saved a reply. Elsie
was a very mediocre housekeeper;
and she never seemed to know or
care that she did not excel in any of
the things which / believed were alb
solutely necessary.
"Take it all back! Margaret" She
''there is nothing in the
world equal to being able to cook as
you cant these dumplings are delic-
iousl or did Della make them,
ftI made them ma 'am," Della re-
piled, "but it's Mrs. Garrett Is recipe;
and she learned me howl"
81 wish you'd come over Della and
learn my cook how the ones she gives
US are hard as rocks"
elf Mrs. Garrett let's me ma am
Mrs. Green never would give nobody
none of her recipe IS" Della replied.
Mrs. Barton may have any re-
cipts we have Della" I told the girl
who was delighted at the attention
paid her.
The remainder of the dinner, and
also for the time Elsie stayed after, |
we talked of impersonal things. But |

THE SPIDER

Percy de We're, heart breaker and
home wrecker, sauntered jauntily into
McDooley Turkish Bath and Swedish
Massage Parlors.
81 want massage" he said sneer-
ingly.
~Si, 81, senorooto," bowed the at
tendant, a tall, burly man with jinsle
wood buttons on his vest. Bowling and
scraping, he led Percy de We're into
Room No. 10, and bade him disrobe.
Then, stretching his arms above his
head, he handcuffed his wrists and
dealt him four blows on the chest that
made de We're see the milky way from
four hundred simultaneous angles. The
stars were still dancing when the at
tendant seized the victim s angles in
la grip of iron and, after dashing him
twelve times against the marble walls,
flung him violently to the other end
of the room, bruised and unconscious
wreck.
Pulling flask from his pocket, the
operator forced brandy down Percy de
Vere's throat until he revived. Then,
with sudden gesture, he tore off his
red mustaehe and jinsle-wood buttons.
You" butered de We're weakly.
Mel" jeered the other. FFor nine
years, like a spider in its web, have
waited for this hour. Purposely, know
ing your habits, built this costly Tur-
kish bath, knowing that if evere you
passed its luxurious exterior, you
would be unable to resist. 1t is your
boast, ha ha, is it not, that you have
visited every first class Turkish bath
in the countryR And now, robber of
my wife's affections, I will conclude

"I IN not so sure!' Elsie returned,
"Tell him from me that he missed
some wonderful dumplings." +"
How could Elsie be 70 ngnt-hearted
when Tom was outs She certainly
did not love him as l did Bob, or she
couldn't run around having a good
time when he left her alone.
1t was about one o'clock when Bob
came in.
"What in the world are you sitting
up for - he queried as he kissed me.
"For you'll" I answered pleasantly
as I could. "You didn't think 1 could
go to bed when you were out, did
you?" i@
"'Of course did! you are old
things"
''I never shall go to bed when you
are out without me for the evening;
no matter how old get"
"It's too bad you didn It come down,
Margaret" he remarked changing
the subject, "we had dandy dinner,
and very interesting evening" "
almost told him what Elsie had
said about the dumplings; but stop
ped myself in time.
"What did you do?" 1 asked in
stead.
''John and I dined alone; then
went directly to his rooms. Maud
Warren came in, and we three took
turns reading the manuscript. John
is so keen about. It's a corking good
story too! I wish L knew author
rather the authoress. A woman wrote
it, 1t was crude; needed lots of edit
ing; but the story itself was a rafting
good one. Only a woman with keen,
analytical, observing mind could nave
written it-she must have a great per-
sonality too, judging from the book.
1t is her first one.
''It is nice you were so well en-
tertained, while I sat here alone. II
should think you would have more
respect for me than to have any
thing to do with that Miss Warren.
The idea of her spending the evening
alone with two men. It's disgusting" +" i
To my surprise, Bob laughed.
"Jealous of Maud Warren Why |
she's just a delightful book-worm.
She is one of the best judges of |
whether book will sell on John IS |
staff. We never think of her as
woman, she IS just a good pal; and |
we enjoy her just as we enjoy each /
other"
"Just the same L cannot under /
stand nor approve of your acquaint-
ance with her. Not because 1 am jeal-
Gus; for 1 am not" and I meant it. |
I was not.

WAR DELIBERATELY PLANNED

Now comes Henry Morgenthau former ambassador
to Turkey and shows concusvey that the kaiser had
determined on war some time before it was actually de-
cared He tells Of the German ambassador at CONSTANT
NOBLE informing him that conference had been held
early in July IN Berlin at which the date OF the war had
been fixed The AustroHungarian ambassador also told
him that Emperor Francis Joseph had told him IN May
that war was inevitable This was the result of plans
that had been in the making for twenty years When
by the kaiser the German military leaders were present
and also the leaders of German finance The latter
pleaded for more time in which to get their affairs

ment of facts and there can be no excuse for any Amer

1t was the intention to first over-run France collect
another great indemnity from her and then to turn
attention to England The outlines of the program after
that can only be surmised but that it the dream OF
the kaiser to conquer after another the countries OF
Europe absorbing his allies and then with the cap
tured fleets of England and the other allies making an
attack America which being unsuspecting and unpre-
pared would fall easy prey and the kaiser would be the
dictator of the world and PruSsian mitarlSm would have
its iron heel on the neck Of civilization.

lines and this is the plot that has far been foed and
which up the United States to destroy utterly No

the kaiser can yet carry his plans The United States
today alone stands between world ruled by PrusSan
