without sugar or with the addition of
a very small amount of sugar may be
use for pie filings. desserts and in
other ways.
Fruits for home use can be canned
with corn strip or refiners' sirup In
place of part Of the sugar ordinarily
used. Sirups with a distinctive flavor
add sweetness, but also, Of course,
change the flavor of the canned fruit.
A little experimenting in handling
fruits should enable a housewife to
develop various combinations of fruits
and sirups which are pleasing to her
own family.
Caution: Fruits canned with plain
water or with other than sugar sirup
should not be sold until the jars have
been labeled to comply with local and
federal requirements as to description

How to Can Fruit.
Boil empty jars and lids for at least
fifteen minutes before you f1ll them

dissolved. Take the Jars out Of the

Tomatoes and
Cyclones
Storms a. Defined by the u. S.
Weather Bureau

Weather men define tornado as a
violent windstOrm, with rain or hail,
thunder and lightning, in which the air
masses whirl with great velocity
around a central core, while the whole
storm travels across the country IN
narrow path at high speed. The thun-
der and the whirling motion have Civ
Ell rise to two theories Of the deriva-
ton of the word, as to whether 1t is
derived from the Spanish tornado a
thunderstorm, or from the Latin torn
are" to turn.
A cyclone, in the definition of the
weather bureau, is not necessarily
windstOrm Of great velocity, but rath-
err widespread storm that moves with
no great speed. Its width may cover
several states. This cyclone, or area
Of low pressure-indicated as slow" on
the weather map-gives conditions es-
sential to tornadoes. Many cyclones
never develop a tornado, but tornado
never develops without the cyclone,
and almost invariably the tornadoes oc-
cur In the southeast quarter Of the
low area. About 120 cyclones pass
across the United States each year,
moving In a general way from west to
east. They are of great benefit be-
cause they induce movement of surface
air from the south and southeast, and
the rainfall that makes the great in
terror valleys a rich agricultural region
is dependent upon these southerly,
misunderstanding winds.
Practically all of the cyclones of the
warm season give rise at some time or
place to thunderstorms or hail or viO-
lent winds. These winds may be VIC
lent enough to cause destruction, but
| unless they have the whirling column
| of air they are not tornadoes. In the
East it is not always easy to distin-
guish the funnel-shaped cloud but the
| lay of the debris after storm will
tell whether there has been a twist
ing motion.
Tornadoes almost invariably move
| in an easterly direction and generally
| from southwest to northeast. The av-
erage length of the path of destruction
is about % miles, and this path may
not be continuous, if the funnel cloud Is
not in contact with the earth during IFS
whole course. Sometimes it rises and
goes for considerable distance before
| descending again.

Save Sugar.

Before the war Germany, Austria
Hungary and Russia produced 81 per
cent of the total supply of beet sugar,
about one-third of the entire sugar
supply of the world. With the with
drawal of sugar exports of these heav-
lily producing countries it is easy to
see why the allies supply of sugar
has shrunk. The one thing we can
do in this country is to increase our
production and decrease our consump-
ton, to change our sugar habits until
the war is over.
In practically all dishes requiring
sugar some other sweetening may be
substituted. The sweetening power of
sirups varies somewhat, so that will
have to be taken into account. Honey
is about as sweet as sugar, but when
it is used the liquid in the dish will
need to be decreased Maple strip is
sweeter than sugar and corn strip less
sweet. When substituting sirups for
sugar decrease the liquid one-fourth
Dried fruits of various kinds, when
added to any cereal or pudding de,
crease the amount of sweeteninG
needed.

Living on Vegetables.

There is at least one family in
England which can snap its fingers at
Lord Rhondda and whose members are
not to be found in food queues. The
head of the family recently wrote to
a London newspaper that himself, wife
and family Of four have lived for IA
weeks wholly on raw vegetable salads
made Of grated turnips, carrots, pars-
nips, beets, cabbages, etc, together
with fruit salads, toast and porridge
and says that they are all much
healthier as a result. They use nei-
Their tea nor coffee, and grow their
own vegetables, and so may be regard
ed as the most independent family In
England.-New York World.

Those luscious berries, peaches, cher
Ties, figs. and other fruits, so abund-
ant this summer, can be made to sup
ply many desirable desserts for win
ter, and with little trouble. Practi-
cally all fruits can be canned at home
in ordinary Gamers or In large YES
sci with tightly fitting cover. In fact,
fruits ere easier to can than most veg
etables. They are prepared more
quickly and need to be boiled in the
Jars only once and generally for a
shorter time than Is necessary to can
other products.
Canned fruits preserve most Of the
delicate f1avOrs and succulence of
fresh fruits and are the nearest sub
stitute for fruits fresh from bush or
tree. They are very valuable in the
winter diet. They supply acids and
mineral substances very useful in
keeping the body in condition.
Do not cook or handle fruits In gal
vanized vessels. The fruit acid at
tacks the zinc coating and makes the

Fruits Can Be Canned Without Sugar.
Don't let cost or difficulty Of obtain
ing sugar deter you from canning
quantities Of fruit this year. Fruit
can be canned without sugar. Instead
of using strip, simply fill the cans
with clean hot water and process in a
water bath. The fruit will not spoil,
but, of course, will not have the fine
color and flavor which it would have
If packed IN strip. The use Of even q
thin strip in canning fruits will give
q more attractive finished product
than can possibly be obtained by can
ming in water. IL sugar is not avail
able, II will be well to consider drying
the fruits instead Of canning, since q
good dried product is far better than
q poor canned one. The Importance
of canning in less water should be
stressed this year because of the high
cost Of containers. Fruits canned
