Preserves at Small Cost

Not the least useful hint in these
menus for reducing the cost of living
is the insistence on the value of dried
fruit as an article of diet. Properly
cooked. these dried fruits are delic-
ious and, quite apart from the differ
ence in expense, are much more
wholesome for a steady diet than rich
preserves or even canned fruits. April
cots, peaches, plums and pears are all
prepared by the evaporated process.
Use enameled ware in cooking; that
can not be affected by the acid of the
fruit. Put the fruit in an enameled
ware saucepan and cover we'll with
cold water. Put on the back of the
stove and let it heat slowly and SIM
mer for couple of hours. When tho
fruit is thoroughly soft, mash with q
spoon and let it cook until the water
is cooked away enough to make a
smooth. rich jam. Add one table
spoonful of sugar to a quart of the
jam. The peeled fruits although they
cost a trifle more than the others are
as cheap in the end as they require
less sugar in cooking.

sE Reddind for Whuen dnd dlI the hmiEN
Fashions of To-Day By May Manton

IF a trip TO the South is under
consideration this model will
: serve admirably for summer
material. If you are thinking
of replenishing the Winter ward
robe, you can make the blouse
of Georgette crepe and the
skirt of any heavier ma
terial to make a very charm
ing effect. If YOU want a skirt
of a thinner and lighter fabric,
you can gather in place of plait-
ing it. 1t is made in two pieces
with seams at the sides, but is
perfectly straight at the lower
edge. The blouse may be made
as it is here or cut off at the
waist line with a full length
closing at the front. The bag
gives a very new shape and a
new design for embroidery.
For the medium size the
blouse will require, SIS yards of
material and the skirt, AIS yards
SO inches wide. For the bag
will be needed, y yard of mate
rial 20 inches wide.
The blouse pattern No. o2o3
and the skirt No. 9237 both are
cut in sizes for 10 and Is years.
The bag pattern is cut in one
size and the embroidery pattern
includes a variety of motifs.
They will be mailed to any adj
dress by the Fashion Depart
ment of this paper, on receipt of
fifteen cents each for the blouse
and skirt and ten cents each for
bag and for embsuGdery design.

Calories and Corn Bread

Recent experiments conducted in
New York and elsewhere TO prov e
that twenty-five cents n day can feeu
one individual have given us a speak
ing acquaintance with calories.
Among other things. we have learned
that corn bread contains twice the
number of heat units or calories as
does wheat bread. Even this knowi-
edge might not induce eating the corn
bread one ordinarily sees.
Most corn bread is far too dry and
crumbly to be appetizing. This is
partly from the way it is mixed, put
much more from the manner of bak-
ing. Corn bread must be cooked
steadily. but very slowly. The South
ern "hoe-cake" was baked on either
a hoe" or on hardwood boards placed

dishes. Soon size would be gone, and

set chance TO be alone with you,
never and ! am too tired to talk TO any
one tonight"
Jarvis smiled at the lovely figure
across from him, and agreed with her.
But just after Liza had departed there
was 4 quick sound of steps and the
little knocker was banged vigorously.
Jarvis ran TO open the door and Dick
Armstrong walked in.
Janet made a face at him.
What domesJicscene!" Dick said
in his half attractive, half irritating
manner. Janet had a feeling that Dick
did not exactly like her. He was too
accustomed to having girls make way
for him, and as Janet never showed
that she was at all impressed by his
dangerous charm, il piqued him, and
he was almost rude at times.
"Yes-aren't we domestic?" Janet
drawled. You strike a very discord-
ant note, Dick, with your cold, heart
less cynicism."

you. Then I'll beat hasty retreat"
Janet's heart beat a little faster. but
she said nothing. Jarvis looked up
interestedly.
What's up?" he queried.
Nothing at all; hut you don't want
TO become too much of benedict, you
know. Come on out for a tramp-a
regular one. for old times sake"
Janet still said nothing, but she re-
garded Jarvis critically over her book
and saw something that surprised Eer
he wanted to go. 1t gave her queer
little feeling almost akin to pain. But
she still said nothing.
Mind If | do run out for a while,
sweetheart" Jarvis said, coming over
to the chaise lounge.
why, no. Janet returned slowly,
stretching a little and actually forcing
her soft delicious smile. Go on and
take your bachelor tramp"
And when the door closed after
them Janet reasoned fiercely with her
self.
1t wasn't that Jarvis cared less for
her: he was a man. that was ALL The
evening alone meant an evening alone
to him and nothing more; to her it
meant the most wonderful time of the
day. He had forgotten that it was
their evening, as soon as Dick had put
in an appearance. Janet shivered q
little in sudden realization, and then
conscious that she was alone and need
not mask her feeling she put her head
down on her arms and burst into tears

The Last Straw.
THE sun was high when we
awoke. We were not feeling

to get Strengthened around. Then we
went down to the Morena cabin.
| am not going to dwell on what we
found there. All four of its inmates
had been killed with buckshot and the
place ransacked from end to end. Ap-
parently the first volley had killed our
former partners and Sonora Morena

his feet and halfway across the room.
The excitement caused by this fright
full crime was intense. Every man
quit work. A great crowd assembled.
Morton as sheriff was very busy, and
loud threats were uttered by his satel.
lltes as to the apprehension OF the
murderers. The temper of the crowd,
however, was sullen. No man dared
trust his neighbor, and yet every hon.
est breast swelled with impotent in
dignation at this wholesale and un-
provoked massacre. No clew was pos
sible. Everybody remembered, of
course, how broadcast and publicly

The victims were buried by a large

BA HAZEL DALE
Janet had always thought n great
deal. even when in her most careless
existence, and now she began TO think
more deeply TO analyze things, TO OBJ
serve reactions upon herself and upon
Jarvis. She realized now more than
ever while she and Jarvis were going
through their adjustment period, that
she was highly strung and Jarvis was,
too.
Janet was not the type of girl who
boasted of a temperament in order 10
give vent to uncertain bursts of temper
or anger, but she knew that sometimes
the smallest incidents led TO the largest
results, and that n tiny hurt can as
sumo big proportions when nursed in
silent resentment.
She and Jarvis had adopted from
the beginning the theory that both
were as free as air. Janet wanted Jar
Wis to have his friends, his time away
from her, just as she had her friends
and her time away from him, but like
most women she grew to like Jarvis
friends as well, if not better, than ste
did her own: she found them more in
teresting because they fitted into her
life so much better.
Her own friends were apt to come
TO see her and rave about the roman
tic manner in which she lived. Janet
did not think of il that way; she SEEM
ed to belong and she hated to be made
10 feel like fish out of water.
Her work with the Chronicle had
increased since her connection with
the paper. In addition 10 her series
for children, she had a column all
her own that appeared every day. 1t
was rather n refreshing idea, just a
timely letter written in the manner of
girl about some up-to-date incidcat
and had become very popular. Janet
called it over the Tea Ball" and on
the strength of its popularity her sal
airy had been raised. The extra work
meant an added strain, however. and
Janet, who bent all her energies TO
make good. found herself tired and
badly in need of mental recreation at
the end of the day.
In her moments for reasoning she
knew that her work was the crlv
thing size had apart from Jarvis. Ev-
eryThing else was secondary, and.
therefore her life seemed narrowing
down while his kept broadening. Each
day Jarvis ran into some one else, or
else added new friend to his mum
Der, and while his friends were Janet's,
still they were his first

Cranberry in New Role

Cranberries to most people mean
only Jam or jelly to be eaten with
poultry. They are differently regarded
in Europe. One of the ways in which,
they are there utilized might we'll be
copied here. Cranberry juice which
may be put up" and kept for any
length of time makes an especially
delicious water ice and a delightful
addition to summer drinks To pre-
pare this juice place the cranberries
in an enameled ware preserving ket-
tie, add sugar in the proportion of
one-half pound to one quart of the
berries. Pour on just enough water
to keep the berries from scorching.
Cook until the berries are perfectly
soft and easily crushed. Strain
through an ordinary jelly-bag and
bottle very hot.
The cranberry has a strong acid and
ii is important that it should be cook
ed in enameled ware. In that way there
is no danger of any metallic action
nor of the juice being darkened in
color

in front of the open fire. Cooked in
this way the corn meal retains its
flavor and moisture. By using enam-
eled ware baking pans or frying pans,
we get the best substitute for this old
method available. Scald the corn
meal with boiling water, add salt and
a little milk. Bake the cakes slowly
in an uncovered enameled ware fry
ing pan over a steady fire and the
calories it contains will not be des-
pissed.

McNichol Bills Would
Change Financial System

Senator McNichol introduced four
bills yesterday that intend a change
in the methods of handling State
money. One of these appears to wipe
out the executive controllers depart
ment entirely. \ board of finance and
revenue is created. in accordance with
the recommendations of the economy
and efficiency commission. 1t is to
consist Of the Auditor General, state
Treasurer Attorney General and Sec
retary of the Commonwealth. The four
fiscal boards in which these officers
now figure are to be consolidated into
one.
Another McNichol bill provides that
contingent funds shall be used only
for postage, eXpressage, telephones,
etc, and under no circumstances for
clerk hire unless statutory authority
exists.
A fourth McNichol bill proposes to
amend the constitution so that no
money may be spent except as spe-
officially provided by act of assembly.
After receiving Legislation from the
House the Senate adjourned at l
O'Clock until 10 o'clock this morning.
