Canning With Less Sugar.

No doubt you are already meditating on
the subject Of summer canning and your
thoughts probably go something like this:
In the face Of the present Highland al
ways soaring higher-cost OF living. Won
want to do all you can to turn your own
tms to account ,ona. by way of preparing
economize by canning your own fruit, YOU
want to do 1t. Yet. you reason sugar liz
very high. 1t may be less by winter time
or before all the canned fruit is consumed
II this turned out to be the case wouldn't
| it be too bad to have spent so much OF
! an outlay on buying sugar at Its present
| high price?
Well. there are two answers to this
objection. ''
In the first place. fruit is so much
cheaper In season than 1t is out OF season
that 1t does pay even when sugar ts
high to can 1t and otherwise preserve II
for winter use. Then. too II you have
to pay high price for sugar, SO do the
| Gamers. And they will charge accord
ingly when winter comes.
The second answer is this: Sugar IA
not needed in canning. And, though IL
OF the fruit and is needed when the
fruit is to be used as a dessert. II IL NOT
actually needed in the canning process.
The old idea was that the sugar did the
preserving The new idea Is that eteril
ization kills the organisms that might
make the fruit decay. With perfect ster-
ilization. canned fruits may or may not be-
sweetened. OF course. in the case ~
marmalades and jams that are not sealed
closely. the sugar does do the preserv
Ing. but with ordinary canned fruit the
sugar is not needed. II you have reason
to believe that the price of sugar will
drop before you need to use the fruit
just put them up now and add the sugar
later, or when the fruit is eaten
II you want to know how to can fruit
without using sugar. there is a very good
bulletin on the subject issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture that you might
read to advantage. But any up-to-date
book on household canning will tell YOU
exactly how to can fruit by meana Of
steriliza ton. There are steamers on tha
market especially designed for this kind
OF canning5 or you may devise one for
yourself by means Of a clothes boiler.
According to this method Of canning the
fruit is first skinned and immersed first
IN boiling water and then in cold Then n
is placed in the Jars Boiling water is
then added and the rubbers pla ced around
Then the jars are placed in the steamer
and the steaming. sterilizing process goes
on for about fifteen minutes ACCORDING tn

this kind Of canning Is so slight az IN

those who believed that nothing could

declared, seemed to he turned to the

GIorified Ginger Bread.

The writer recently heard Of a rather
formal evening party given in constan-
ttnople at which the one and only re-
ireshment was gingerbread or molasses
cake. The hostess was an American
woman who had found 1t necessary on
account Of her husbands business rela-
lions to remain in Constantinople, de-
spite the enormous prices of food and
when sugar was 25 cents a pound and
other commodities proportionately ad-
vanced. the prospects of giving even
pain frosted cake was out of the ques-
tion. So the gingerbread. sweetened
win molasses. was substituted. and
evidently every one was quite as well
pIeased as II the cake had been made
OF the finst ingredients.
Most persons have eaten gingerbread
or gingercake or molasses cake-call 1t
what you will. 1t is all much the same
thought that 1t was less expensive than
other kinds OF cake probably had little
to do with 1t. But now that American
prices are following those of CONSTANT
nople this form of cake may be as de-
sirable from reasons Of economy.
Whole wheat gingerbread-Altho
as yet whole wheat is not less expen-
sive than pure white flour. we have
been urged to eat it and demand it, for
il is manufactured at very consider
able saving of the wheat and the gov
ernment authorities have estimated that
If no white flour were manufactured,
but only whole wheat, then an enor-
nous saving Of wheat would be eff
fected
This rule calls for two-thirds of a
cupful of molasses diluted with four
tablespoonfuls of water. Mix this and
add to a well beaten egg. Gradually.
mix into this one cupful Of whole wheat
-four mixed previously with half tea
spoonful of salt. teaspoonful of
ginger and teaspoonful of cinnamon
Mix this and then add two teaspoonfuls
Of baking soda mixed previously with
one teaspoonful OF hot water and
tablespoonful Of melted butter. Beat
and pour into buttered pan.
From recent publication Of the De-
partment of Agriculture comes this
rule for stale bread gingerbread:
One cup molas-es.
One-half cup boiling water.
One and one-thrd cups fine breadcrumbs.
Two-thirds cups of -four.
One teaspoon baking soda.
One and one-half teaspoons ginger.
One half teaspoon salt.
Add water to molasses and combine
with the dry ingredients mixed toGeth-
err. then add fat and beat. Bake for
about twenty-five minutes in a hot
oven.
Gingerbread makes delightful
luncheon dish. used in place Of bread 1t
should be taken from the oven not less
than half hour before being eaten and
allowed to cool a little before being
eaten. For luncheon it may be eaten
with or without butter. If there is con-
siderable fat in another dish for lunch
con the butter is not necessary
For dessert at dinner gingerbread is
very nice when eaten with a little fruit
preserves or canned fruit. 1t is also
very good when served with a little
whipped cream.
If you wish to have gingerbread sub
stitute for a regular cake it should be
iced with chocolate frosting, which will
keep 1t fresher than would be the case
with unfrosted cake. The addition of a
