The Soldiers Supply Of Cash.

Money instead of Christmas pack
age. is the idea of some relatives of
soldier boys far away A foreign
money order is easily obtained at the
postoffice, payable in francs, or any
other European money, and is easily
sent in letter.
The soldiers do not feel rich every
pay day over there. Some Of them
made allowances to wife or mother
which is sent direct to the Beneficiary
out of the monthly pay. Practically
lall of them took insurance, the pre-
Imium for which is subtracted by the
paymaster. And a really remarka BILE
number bought Liberty bonds with
practically the rest OF the monthly
salary Of soldier, on the installment
plan.
The net result is. that real money
is among those absent NEST OF the
time In the expeditionary army-and
there are many things they would like
to buy, and little trips they would like
to take on leave. So. some of them
are getting cash at Christmas instead
Of boxes.

SOME SUGAR SAVING HELPS

In order that the maximum amount
of fruit may be put up with the sugar
available, it is necessary that we
change in some measure the canning
and preserving methods of the past.
1t is the fruit we need to cannot the
sugar; and every means should be
taken to care for it.
Fruits, as apples for pie filling and
pears for salads, may be canned with
out sugar as follows: Place peeled
ing water, adjust rubbers and steril-
izer jar tops, place jars on rack in
deep kettle or boiler, cover with water
and boil for thirty minutes. Tighten
caps and invert to cool.
This fruit will contain all the nat
ural favors and may be later sweet
ened by syrups or with sugar when
the beet sugar supply renders it more
plentiful. A sweeter product may be
obtained by covering the fruit with
syrup of 1-2 cup corn syrup, IL cup
sugar, 2 cups water Boil five min
utes, pour over fruit and sterilize in
jars for 20 minutes.
Those who have a supply of honey
or mayle syrup may use it in can
ming by adding one-half water and
proceeding as is previous recipe.
Corn syrup in jelly helps to make
sugar go farther This is an excel
lent formula: cups OF juice, ! cup
corn syrup ga cup sugar Add su-
gar and syrup to boiling hot juice
and boil till mixture flakes" off
spoon.
If no sugar is available for Jelly,
the Juice may be canned in steriliZed
Jars until sugar can be secured. Jams
made entirely of corn or maple sy-
rup are very satisfactory though of
slightly different texture than those
with sugar.
While the white corn syrup is more
satisfactory for jellies the dark brands
may be used in apple sauce and pies,
III canning strong favored fruits as
plums and in making dark cakes and
cookies.
A general rule for the use OF syrups
in baking is as follows: Substitute sy-
rup for sugar cup for cup reducing
the amount of liquid in the recipe by
one-third for each cup of syrup made.
Further information, free recipes
etc, may be obtained by writing to
the office of the County Home Dem
onstration agent, Federal Building,
Port Huron.

Wants To Go And See 1t.

An order has been made by the
fuel administration asking the dis
continuance of pleasure driving with
motor cars and boats on the sababth
for the saving of gasoline. While the
people up this way are ready and
willing to do as requested, we are to
be excused by the clause in the or
der saying that rural communities
where adequate railroad facilities do
not exist can use a limited amount of
juice. If there is any community
where more adequate railroad facili-
ties exist we want to go and see it.
