Precious Metals Needed in War.

I'VE cannot fight the war without
these precious metals" said Mr..
Ratney. Germany controls nearly all
the worlds supply Of platinum, iridium
and palladium. Germany was given
the control of the American supply
by pre-war agreement, but, Of
course. cannot get the American sup
ply during the war. Russia supplies
80 per cent Of the worlds supply of
these metals. and the Russians never
have developed them as the Germans
would.
What effect" he asked, would 1t
have on the United States il Russia
should continue as a great manufac-
turing nation and control these metals
and should monetize these metals
which are from five to nine times
greater than gold in value?"
The overpreciousness Of these
metals" replied Mr.. Jennings, makes
their Standardization Impractical.
Gold Is mined In sixty different coun-
tries and it is Its universally and
not its preciousness that is in its
favor" He said platinum, more en-
couraged in the republic Of Colombia
than anywhere else except In the Ural
mountains in Europe, is excluded as
a general exchange medium because
OF Its limited supply.

Ways With Fresh Fruits.

With the ever-bearing strawberry
becoming so well known and common
we do not need to limit ourselves to a
few short weeks OF the delicious berry,
as 1t ripens until frost time. Fresh
solid berries, crushed and mixed with
their bulk in sugar, may be put In
sterile cans and kept In cool place
without any further care, as they Will
keep well until spring, or as long as
one wishes to keep them.
The wild raspberry Is delicious
canned in the old-fashioned way. Pack
the fruit into Jars and ell with boiling
hot strip, then set them In the oven
until the juice boils; seal at once, and
the fruit will keep good in color ana
excellent in flavor. Fresh raspber-
ries may be crushed and mixed with
sugar in the same way the strawDer-
ries are canned, or currants; any small
fruit that is, thoroughly crushed will
keep perfectly.
Fruit juices of any kind, accented
with touch Of lemon juice, sweetened
to taste, and rich milk or thin cream
added, make most appetizing frozen
dishes.
