unknown art. But the Red Cross
canteen workers refused to let this in
terfere with their plans. They took
their troubles to the army and pro-
posed the loan of an army cook to
teach the French cooks how to make
doughnuts.
The army officers consented. At
one place an army cook spent three
days with an American Red Cross
chef of French nationality, teaching
the art of doughnut making. His in
structiors were not given in vain.
Today that French cook is turning out
daily 10000 doughnuts for dough-
boys. They are good size doughnuts
with small sized holes. They are the
most appetizing shade Of brown.
They are made Of good flour, good
butter, good milk and good sugar.
And needless to say they disappear
from that particular canteen with I'M
canny rapidity.
1t would be tragic if it were not so
comic to watch the faces of the dough-
boys as they ask for this delicacy at
the Red Cross canteens and receive
the news that the supply is limited
"a cup of chocolate and, oh, about
six doughnuts,n orders one soldier in
a nonchalant way, not to say furtive
way.
"Sorry, can't serve you but two
douphnuts," answers the American
Red Cross girl behind the counter.
"Must have enough for the other boys
who come in later"
The soldiers face assumes melan-
choly expression but he accepts his
allotment of two lonely doughnuts
with attempted cheeriness. He shut
fes back to one of the tables, and sits
down to his feast. He eyes the first
doughnut a second or two before bit
ing into it. It's not a suspicious
glance but loving one. He starts il
slowly but gathers speed as he pro-
ceeds. In two minutes the two dough
nuts have disappeared and the crumb:
are being gathered up as las

THE HOUSEWIVES STUNT"

A billion and half jars of fruit
and vegetables this summer and fall.
that is the "stunt" Uncle Sam has
set for the housewives of America!
Last year American women and
girls put up over a half billion cans
of fruit and vegetables. This year
the war program of the nation has
increased tremendously.
Hundreds of thousands of fighters
are crossing the ocean every month.
Each of these men will need 4 large
amount of canned goods. Millions Of
others are going to our training
camps this winter. For each one
Uncle Sam must provide supply of
fruits and vegetables.
Therefore it is easy to realize that
there will be tremendously increased
demand for commercial canned goods
next winter and that there is an ac-
tual need for American housewives to
put up these billion and half jars of
home-canned fruits and vegetables.
With this for use in the homes, all the
produce the factories are canning now,
running day and night, can go to our
soldiers and the hungry people of Eu-
rope.
Do not let the sugar rationing dis.
courage you from doing your share.
You are entitled to the sugar you
need for canning and preserving,
aside from your 2-pound ration. 1t is
important to can vegetables, as we'll
as fruit, and vegetables do not re-
quire sugar.
Much more will be accomplished if
canning is not looked upon as a cere-
mony upsetting the whole household
for days on end. 1t can be dovetailed
in, bit at a time, without causing
any very great trouble.
The principal thing is to under
Stanu your method thoroughly. lhen
don't worry about results If you
perform each step correctly your pro-
duce will keep as long as you want
it.
Of one thing be certain if you want
success. Begin right by having your
fruit and vegetables fresh, and the
rubber bands for the cans new and
freshly dipped in boiling water before
using. The jars also should be steri-
lized, for if they contain live germs
your produce will certainly spoil.
That's just common sense, but the
lack of the precaution is the key to
many disappointments in canning.

SPAIN AND GERMANY
Seizure of Ships VIII Demonstrate
Whether Hun Can Afford New
Foe. Diplomatic View.

Washington, Sept. 3.-The seizure
bv Spain of one of the German yes
sells interned in Spanish port, while
ret officially reported here, is received
as fact, and is commented on as an
acr that will disclose whether Ger
many can afford to declare war on
Spain.
Officials here differentiate absolutely
the act of the United States in utiliz-
ing tile vessels of neutrals for war
rurroses and the act of Spain, which
is obviously retaliatory measure
against Germany which may lead at
any moment to declaration of war.
It was stated yesterday by diplo-
mat of the highest rack that the num-
Der of ships which Spain may seize is
beside the question. The main point
is that one has actually been seized.
It is believed that there are more than
q hundred valuable German ships in
Spanish vessels trading under interna-
tional law as neutraIs.
The diplomatic view here is that
even if war were precipitated by Ger
MANY the importance Of Spain would
NOT he in her army. She, however,
has a good navy which would be utilized
to arrest the further progress Of sub
marine activities in the neighorhood
IF the Strait of Gibraltar and general
" in the Mediterranean. This work is
now largely done hy American tor
pedo craft in and near the Spanish
shores.
II was also stated that the friction
between Spain and Germany had
reached such a point that the next in
suit to the Spanish flag by Germany
might result in Spain taking the init
ative and coming out for the allies
The makeup of the cabinet looks il
that direction, according to an Amer.
lean diplomatic official. The actor
: taken by Spain is manifestly the work
OF the Spanish premier, and his repu
tation here is that he is intensely pro
ally. The ministers of marine anc

grees F., then strained through 4
clean cloth or drip bag, no pressure
being used, and set away to cool and
settle. The remaining procedure is
the same for the red as for the light
colored juice.
Many people do not even take the
trouble to let the juice settle after it
is Strained, simply relocating and seal
ing the vessels and setting them away
in an upright position in a cool place
where they will be undisturbed. If
bottles are used, the corks should be
sterilized and the necks Of the bottles
sealed with sealing wax. The juice
settles, and whss desired for use the
clear liquid is poured off the sediment.
Any person familiar with the pro-
cess of canning fruit can put up grape
juice, for the principles involved are
the same. Care should be taken not
to sterilize the juice at temperature
higher than 1875 degrees F., or the
finished product will have scorched
taste. The bottles or jars should not
be so large that when they are opened
the juice will spoil before it can be
used.
Unfermented grape juice, properly
made and bottled, will keep indef-
nitely if not exposed to the atmos-
phere or to infection from mold
germs; when bottle is once opened
however, the contents, like canned
goods generally, should be used as
soon as possible. Unfermented juice
may be made not only from all varie.
ties of grapes, but also from some
some other fruits, such as apples
pears and cherries. Some berries alst
yield excellent juices.

rise to popularity is spectacular.
Months ago when the first contingents
Of American troops arrived in France,
a few army cooks, perhaps with a bit
more pride in their work and certainly
endowed with an abnormal amount of
the milk of human kindness, offered
doughnuts as an addition to the mess.
Little did they know that they were
creating a Frankenstein. The demand
for this article Of diet was instanta-
neous and grew beyond ali bounds.
The army cooks threw up their
hands and sat down hard-as army
cooks are wont to do when they are
irritated. But the doughnut appetite
refused to be smothered. 1t was not,
long before the unsatisfied gastro-i
nomical desires of the doughboys be-,
came known at the canteens Of the:
Red Cross near the 'front.',
And then the real fame and glory of !.

PATRIOTIC HEALTH DRINK
Grape Saves the Surplus Fruit, it
Takes No Sugar, And It's
Good For Everyone.

In the face of the sugar shortagc
the small grape arbor takes on new
light. Little sugar for jellics ant
jams will make it necessary to turn
most of the surplus grapes into some
other channel. The patriotic grower
will look into the possibilities OF
homemade grape juice, which is made
without sugar, and which is so whole
some used as a Beverage oriin des-
serts Of one kind and another.
Only clean, sound, well ripened, but
not overripe, grapes should be used
These may be crushed and pressed
either by hand or in an ordinary cider
mill. If light-colored juice is de-
sired, the crushed grapes are put in a
clean, well-washed cloth sack and
either hung up and twisted or grasped
by two persons, one at either end, and
twisted until the greater part of the
juice is expressed. Then, in double
boiler or its equivalent, such as a
large stone jar placed in a pan Of hot
water, so that the juice does not come
in direct contact with the fire, the
juice is gradually heated to temper
allure of $50 degrees to 200 degrees F.
The temperature should never be al
lowed to 90 above 200 degrees T.
Heat to Steaming Point.
1t is best to use a thermometer; if
none is available, however, the juice
may be heated until it steams, but it
should not be allowed to boil. 1t
should be poured Immediately into a
glass OF enameled vessel and allowed
to settle for "a hours; then the juice
should be drained from the sediment
and run through several thicknesses
Of clean flannel or through a comic
filter made from wooden cloth or felt
and fixed to hoop or iron, so that it
can be suspended wherever necessary.
The juice is then poured into clean
bottles, space being left at the top for
the liquid to expand when heated.
A good home substitute for COM
mercial pasteurizer is an ordinary
wash boiler with thin board fitted
over the bottom on which the filled
bottles are set. Ordinary glass fruit
Jars serve the same purpose equally
well. The tub should be filled with
water to within an inch or so of the
ops of the bottles and heated until
he water begins to simmer. The bot
les should then be taken out and seal
ID or corked Immediately. Only new
orks that have just been soaked for
.bout so minutes in warm water at
of about 14O degrees F.
houd be used. 1t is we'll to take the
urther precaution Of sealing the
orks with parafin or sealing wax to
revent the entrance of mold germs.
