THE HOUSEHOLD
Don'ts for Canning Time.
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsr

Don't think that any proportion of
sugar can be used to the amount of
fruit. If you want to make sure of
good results follow tested rules, pound
for pound. not one ounce more nor
less.
Don't try to use a kettle that is too
small. The capacity of the vessel
should be four times as great as the
volume of the fruit to be cooked.
Don't try to cook too large batch
at time. If you use too much fruit
at too low a heat the pectin or jelly
making property will be destroyed.
Don't try to cook the fruit mix
ture rapidly till after the sugar is
melted. To do this sometimes means
to scorch the sugar.
i Don't neglect any of the details of
sterilization. There is no such thing
as luck in canning. The result all de-
ponds on your careful following of the
scientific rules for sterilization that
are before you.
Don't think that you can can fruit

camps have :-lown the attitude of the
mother, and wife, and sweetheart thru
their clothes.
1t was a chance to study human ma
ture. These women dressed their best.
They wore their smartest evening
gowns for the dances at headquarters
and in the base hospitals. There was
no idea Of wearing black, of reducing
ones self to shabbiness, of putting on
any old thing and then splitting tears
over 1t.
And this spirit pervades the conti-
nent. And it is for this reason that
dressmakers, tailors. theatrical and
restaurant people have no fear for the
immediate future. 1t has become a
passion with US to smile, to put on
good clothes, to try to look smart and
courageous and to greet those who are
coming and say goodbye to those who
are going in clothes that give them
an uplift, rather than depress them to
the verge of suicide.
All of this is seemingly a far cry

New York.--Tt is quite useless to
pretend that our women are not dress
ing exceedingly well this summer.
They have not put on the habiliments

English spirit which has impaired it

degree. aid this spirit is emphasized
by cheeriness. optimism and gay cour-
age in clothes. demeanor and activi-

Gay Clothes Even in the Camps.
There is not even the slightest dis
position on the part of women to dress
demurely for their visits to their men
who are bound for France. War camp

things dotting the surface of the
American continent. I know. for
