department. They, therefore, advise
those who, because of the high price
of sugar, have been thinking OF re
ducing the amount Of fruit they pu'
up, to can as much of their surplus
as possible by the use of boiling water
when sugar strip is beyond thell
means. Any fruit, they say, may DC
successfully sterilized and retained In
the pack by simply adding boiling
water instead of the hot sirup. I'M
use of sugar, of course, is desirable
in the canning of all kinds of fruits
and makes a better and readysweet-
ened product. Moreover, most OF the
fruits when canned in water alone dc
not retain their natural flavor, tex
ture and color as well as fruit put up
in sirup. Fruit canned without sugar
to be used for sauces or desserts must
be sweetened.
Directions for Canning Fruits
Without Strip.
Can the product the same days 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 table
spoon, wooden ladle, or table knife for
packing purposes. Pour over the fruit
boiling water from a kettle, place rub
bers and caps in position, partially
seal if using glass jars, seal COM
pletely if using tin cans. Place the
containers in a sterilizing vat such as
a wash boiler with false bottom, or
other receptacle ~improvised for the
purpose. If using a hot water bath
outfit, process for 80 minutes; count
time after the water has reached the
boiling point; the water must cover
the highest jar in container. After
sterilizing remove packs, seal glass
jars, wrap in paper to prevent
bleaching and store in a dry, COO
place.
If you are canning in tin ans il
will improve the product to plunge
the cans quickly into cold water i'm
mediately after sterilization. Wher
using a steam pressure Gamer instead
Of the hot water bath, sterilize for Il
minutes with five pounds of steam
pressure. Never allow the pressure
to go over 10 pounds.

| size of the package to be obtained FOL
5 or 10 cents. Now that the law re-
ouires the net weight to be marked
on the outside of every package, 1t is
easv to reckon how much the food ma
terial actually costs a pound. Thus II
the net weight of a 1O-cent package OF
breakfast food is 8 ounces, a pound,
or 16 ounces, would cost 20 cents.
As a general rule-and very justly
the simpler preparations, which it
has taken less time and labor to put
up, cost less than the more elaborate
ones. Those sold in bulk usually cost
less than those sold in cartons. acn
housekeeper must decide whether the
variety and convenience of the more
extensive kinds ~compensates for the
extra cost. In any case before she can
choose wisely she must have reckoned
how much the package goods cost per
pound.
Leaving aside cost of preparation
and comparing rice with ready-made
wheat bread, it appears that rice at Z
cents a pound is about as cheap a
source of body fuel as bread at b
cents a pound. If bread costs 8 cents
a pound, rice costing up to 10 cents a
pound is a cheaper source of energy.
Bread costing 8 cents a pound would
furnish energy as cheaply as rice at
IL cents a pound. Corn bread usually
costs much less per pound than wheat
bread, and so furnishes energy at a
still lower cost in the above compari-
son than wheat bread.
A pound of potatoes yields hardly
one-fifth as much body energy as a
pound of rice, corn meal, or wheat.
This is partly because they are much
more watery and partly because a
large proportion is discarded with
the skins. Part of this loss is inevi-
table because the skin itself is not
usually considered good to eat; but
the core carelessly potatoes are pared,
the more of the valuable edible sub
stance goes with the skin. A bushel
of potatoes weighs 60 pounds, a peck
Is pounds. When potatoes are selling
at $1.2O a bushel, or 5000 a peck,
they therefore cost 2 cents a pound.
If their fuel value is one-fifth that of
rice, they furnish fuel at about the
same cost as rice at 10 cents a pound
and at about twice the cost of corn
meal or hominy at 5 cents a pound.
When potatoes cost $40 a bushel, or
$O.60a peck, they are about twice as
expensive as sources of fuel as rice at
10 cents, and four times as expensive
as corn meal or hominy at 5 cents
a pound. These comparisons show that,
merely for providing fuel, potatoes
are often more expensive than rice,
and practically always more expensive
than corn meal or hominy. AS was
pointed out above, potatoes often are
relied on not merely az a source OF
fuel but also as a source Of some OF
the mineral matters among the mos
economical of the vegetables which
serve this second purpose, because

Most wheat breakfast foods and
wheat pastes, like macaroni or spa

rice. They differ very much in ap-
pearance and also in bulk, according
to the method of manufacture, and the

INTERCHANGEABLE FOODS.

Rice, wheat and corn, the common
starchy foods eaten in the mixed diet
usual in most families, are relied on
mainly as sources of energy to the
body, and have about the same value,
pound for pound. Therefore if rice,
wheat flour, cracked wheat, corr meal,
or hominy cost tbe same per pound,
they are equally cheap fuel foods.
Such foods, therefore, can be freely
