FRUIT CAN BE PUT
 UP WITHOUT SUGAR
Canning Specialists Say Boiling Wa ter May Be Used Instead of
 Syrup.

The present shortage and price of sugar is no excuse for not canning a big surplus Fruit for use in pies or stewed fruit can be put \up without the use Of sugar accord ing to the canning specialists of the Extension Division of the Univers- ity of Arkansas Any fruit may be sterilized successfully and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the hot syrup.
 Can the product the same day it is picked. Gull, stem, or seed and clean the fruit by placing it in strainer and pouring water over it until it is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of table spoon, wooden ladle, or table knife for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from kettle, place
 lbbers and caps in position, partially seal if using glass jars, seal complete ly if using tin cans. Place the con tainers in sterilizing vat, such as a wash boiler with false bottom, or other receptacle improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath out it, process for thirty minutes, count ing time after the water has reached the boiling point; the water must cover the highest jar in container Al ter sterilizing, remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleaching, and store in dry, cool place.
 If you are canning in tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water imme- diately after sterilization.
 For instructions on canning peaches, pears, apples, and vegetables, write to the Extension Division. Old State house, Little Rock, Ark.

During the fall and early winter eggs are very scarce and high-priced. Therefore, we should preserve for win ter use in the best possible way all eggs not used fresh in summer. There are number of methods employed for preserving eggs, some of which are water glass, lime water, salt, vaseline and patent conservatives.
 Last June an experiment. was started at the Arkansas Experiment Station to ascertain the efficiency of different egg preservatives that were available at that time. Seven different preserv. atives were used, namely: Water glass. lime water, salt, vaseline, Yankee, E.. C., and Flemings' egg conservatives.
 The water glass was prepared by boiling nine quarts of clean water and then, after it had been allowed to cool. one quart of water glass was added The solution was well mixed and set aside for a short time. The solution was poured from one vessel to another uhCll IAlC oOlullOil Wdo WCll ullAcu dl1Q cold. The eggs were placed in the water glass the same day they were laid and stored in a basement room.
 The lime water was prepared in much the same way as was the water glass. The eggs were placed in sat urated solution which was made by slaking small amount of quick lime in small quantity of water The milk of lime obtained was added to five gallons of clean, fresh water This solution was well mixed and allowed tn settle. The liquid was then drawn off, and when it became cool was poured into earthen crooks. The eggs were placed in the solution as soon as they were gathered.
 The eggs placed in the salt were packed in common salt, small end down. Those preserved in the patent preservatives were preserved accord ing to the directions which accoDl- panied the preservative. The vaseline was applied in much the same way as was the patent conservatives, by plac ing a small amount of vaseline in the palms of the hands and rubbing each egg well, making sure the entire sur face was covered. The eggs were all placed in egg cartons and stored in the same room with the water glass and lime water and salt
 After six months the eggs were tested by the Home Economics De partment for their cooking qualities, with the following results:
 Eggs preserved in water glass were found to resemble fresh eggs more nearly than did any of the others. They were suitable for cooking, mak ing custards and cakes. However. they were not gooa poached Those in the lime water were next in quality None of the others were as satisfac- tory as the water glass and lime water.
 There was no difference in the keep ing qualities of fertile and infertile eggs, nor in the color of the she'll However, this holds good only when eggs are preserved the same day they are laid; otherwise, infertile eggs are more suitable for preserving.

RED CROSS NOTES.

The Jackson County Chapter of Red Cross is asked to furnish by the first of September, 720 pairs of socks, 240 Sweaters, 60 winter pajamas, 60 Trench foot slippers and in Refugee Garments 60 boys suits, 60 women's aprons, 3 infants layettes, 60 comfort kits.
 These are in addition to the usual output of bedshirts and surgical dress ings. In order to do this, it will be necessary for women and girls to put in every moment and to further ex- tend the work by persuading others who are not giving time, to do so. It certainly isn't too much to ask of this Chapter and it is not more than we shall be glad to do--only-be sure of getting it done by doing your part right now, and until it is finished
 The women of the Jackson County Chapter have achieved splendid re- suits in all branches of our work, but we do not feel that we have yet en- listed the service of all the women and girls who might be giving time to war work. There are few women who could not find time to do some thing at knitting if they would only begin. There are few girls knitting this certainly should not be the case and the tremendous task before us in the way of knitting, if we do rot get more people to work, many of our own men are going to suffer. If you do not know how to knit Mrs. Watson is at your service to teach you. She has cool, comfortable porch, she is always patient and she says herself that she Hikes to teach" so you need have no hesitation about asking her. Also, if you have heard that the new rules for knitting sweaters, socks and wristlets are "hard" just re- member how ofter you heard the same people, perhaps, say the present style was "so unshapely' or "so stretchy, or thin, or long. The new sweater is not at all difficult for any one who has knit the others, they are much better and they are shorter, so those who have complained of the long sweater may now take heart.
 Tn order that knitters may also have the pleasure of sociability, the Chapter has decided to open a knit ting room, to which all knitters are most welcome to come in groups, which they may arrange themselves and at any hour that suits them. Here is your chance for little chat with your friends and neighbors. Get up "knitting party" The library at the High school, or the reception room is open to you at all times. Perhaps some other woman can show you past the heel, or how to toe off, or the way the new sweater goes be- sides Mrs. Watson will probably be glad to come too, if you ask her she likes her neighbors and "likes company" we all know.
 Have you been putting off learning how to knit. Don't do it another day you cannot when you know that our soldiers will need every stitch you put in. Please begin today. It is going to take much longer to make the Refugee garments we shall have to make than it does the hospit- al garments we have been making, Tout the Red Cross needs them and needs you.
