A LITTLE SUGAR
GOES A LONG WAYS

Under the above caption the Butte
Miner, of Butte, Mont, of Sept. 18th
has an interesting article concerning
Mrs. 4. Woods Soar, wife of son
of our fellow townshman, ID. E.
Soar. The article is as follows:
twenty-five pounds of sugar will
go a long way if used scientifically
in the canning of fruit. It's the good
old fashioned way, combined with
scientific practice which counts, &C
cording to Mrs. e. w. Soar, GOA West
Mercury street. Mrs. Soar has won
special commentator from the food
administration and the Red Cross.
When interviewed yesterday she
said:
'In regard to my use of the 25
pounds of sugar permitted me by the
government for canning fruit, l as
sure you l am surprised that my eff
forts have created so much publicity
because / feel sure l have done moth
ing more than a great many other
loyal American women have done.
We are informed that saving sugar
and fats and canning fruits helps our
boys to have the best.
MY berries and cherries are solid
pack put up in the syrup prepared by
the cold water process method.
1.-The other fruits and the jelly are
old fashioned like mother ulster
make.
81 have used some but have 81
pints left and 10 glasses of jelly
and about 10 pounds of fruit cake,
one cup of corn syrup, eighteen diff
ferent kinds of fruit. A cup of cold
water may be added to any pint of
fruit on the table and still be rich
enough to serve.
IF you pack your fruit solid in
the jars, you save in jars and add
much to the beauty of your work"
