Helping the Government and
Ourselves.

Julius Rosenwald, president
of Scnrs, Roebuck * Co., now
serving as II mcmber OF the
Advisory Commission OF the
Council Of National Defense,
has frequently stated his belief
that our victory over the Tcu-
tonic powers will be won the
sooner il all Of us follow the
practice of buying only those
things which we need. He said
recently:
I'VE can finance the enor.
nous cost of this war by spend
ing only for the things we need
not by spending for the things
we desire, Just so long as we
continue to spend for the things
we do not need, just that long
do we prolong the war and add
To the tremendous sacrifice of
life and property. Not until all
Of us realize the stern fact that
all spending, no matter for
what, consumes labor aud ma.
,orial, and that labor and ma
terinl are the essentials of VIC.
tory, will we be awake To the
fundamentals of this grave sit
uutiou When we DO thorough
~ grasp this truth and then act
M our conscience and as our
patriotism prompt us, we shalt
no longer spend except for those
things necessary for our health
and general well being And
our health and general well be-
ing do not require ma ~ things
which through IN easy life we
have come to consider ms noces-
sitics. LuXurics must be pnt
aside, actual necessities must
be continued, Ii would be Il
grave disaster il the home stay
ing population by foolish sacri-
tice were not kept fit for it's all
important task OF supporting
cur armies in the field.
"And this thing, above all,
we must remember: Saving
for the war cannot be confined
only TO certain classes of the
population Everyone - men,
women, and children, the dwell.
Ter in the palntial mansion and
the resident of the humblest
tcnement-all must save. That
man financially able to indulge
himself in Injuries has the least
excuse for doing so. In war
time OF all times wealth ia no
excuse for .extravagance. 1t
makes no difference who IT is
who buys the non essential; the
buying of il takes labor aud
material needed for war pur
poses, ~
Mr.. Roscnwnld, who speaks
both an n business man and an
M advisor i'll war-industry mat
ters, also points out that by
following the practice Of buy
ing only those things which we
need we do not only assist our
government but we accumu.
late savings which we can IN.
vest in War Savings Stamps
and in that way do good turn
for ourselves.

Tho thing that most people talk
about in the picture is the work
of Pete Monticello, the monkey

the excitement. One of his
stunts is to climb to the top Of

real live baby under his arm.
AT the top Of this chimney
there is Il thrilling fight be
tween the monkey and the
heroine of the story, who goes
up the chimney on Ii guide rope
To rescue the child. With the
roofs of the city plainly visible
below and the always imminent

going down into the slanting

PEPPERS

The best sweet peppers for canning
are the Spanish varieties known as
pimentos. The fruit of these peppers
has very thick fresh, tough skin, and
Is comparatively smooth and free from
ridges. The bell peppers are not suit
able varieties for canning. Peppers
should be ripe, sound, and free from
bruises. Sort, using the whole peppers
for canning and small or broken pep
pers for products such as sauces,
soups, chutneys, and Dixie relish. Pre-
pare for peeling by roasting peppers
In a hot oven from six to eight min
utes being careful not to allow them to
scorch. Peel, cut out stem, remove
seeds, and pack dry in fiattened layers.
No water or seasoning is used in the
preparation of these peppers; the
processing brings out thick liquor
which almost covers them in the previ-
ously boiled Jars. Partially seal jars.

APPLES

Apples shrink more in canning than
most fruits, and for this reason should
be blanched for one minute. Plunge
them into a cold bath, then pack.
Cover with a strip made of IA ounces
Of sugar to one gallon Of water and
process quart jars II minutes. Other
sirups can be used in place Of part
Of the sugar usually required
This method of canning apples is
not economical, because the apple is
juicy and needs no water added. A
better method, perhaps, is to make q
sauce out Of the apples. This may be
done by steaming them until tender
and passing them through the sieve.
Allow one cupful of sugar to each gall
Ion Of pulp. Reheat until the sugar 10
dissolved, pack hot in sterillzed jars

FIGS

Figs for canning should be sound
and firm. Sprinkle one cupful Of soda
over six quarts Of figs and add one

figs to stand In the soda bath for five
minutes. Drain and rinse thoroughly.
Bring two quarts Of strip, made BY
using three pounds and nine ounces
sugar to one gallon Of water, to boil
ing and add the well-drained figs. IL
desired the amount Of sugar may be
reduced, but 1t is not advisable to at
tempt the canning of figs without any
sugar at all.
Allow the fruit to boil in the sirup
for one hour. Place the fruit carefully
in the Jars and then fill to overflowinR
