Canning Without Sugar.

The latest ruling regarding sugar gives
only two pounds per person month and
states that no more sugar can be obtain
ed for canning. This should not mean that
canning cease. Fruit and vegetables must
still be preserved for winter use says the
Home Economics Department Of the
University of Vermont Extension Service.
Vegetables do not need sugar in cam
ing at any time, so these should be
canned in large quantities. Fruit, too,
may be successfully canned without
sugar and are satisfactory to use for
pie filings, puddings,' sauces, and for
fruit punches.
In canning fruit without sugar it is
Important to exercise special care.
Only fresh, firm, sound products should
be selected and should be prepared care
fully by cleaning, sorting, stemming, seed
ing, pairing and coring as the case re-
quires. All equipment needed should
be ready before starting and great care
should be given to testing jars and sell
citing good quality rubbers.
In canning berries they should be
placed at once, after washing, into the
jar, filling it compactly without crushing
the fruit. This can be done by using a
wooden paddle Or by shaking the jar to
ca+tlo Tho borrioe Tho, ,1,,o ~ ;or
in warm water and pour boiling water
over the berries, instead Of sugar or syrup,
filing the jar Wipe around the mouth
of jar carefully with a clean cloth, place
the. rubber and glass top in position.
Partially seal by placing the wire over
the top, but do not push down the wire
clamp Immediately put the jar in the
sterilizer (Which in most cases will be
washboier) and sterize for 80 minutes
counting the time when water begins to
boil. The water in the sterilizer should
cover jars at least an inch.
In canning hard fruits, such as peach
es, aprioots and apples, the product is
blanched by putting in actively boiling
water from one to two minute, but not
allowed to stand in the water. Finish
preparing fruit which, with peaches and
apricots, will be to remove skins. Pack
in jars and continue as in case of
berries.
After the fruit has been sterilized for
the given length of time, remove
jars from Gamer and seal completely.
Invert to test for leaks in the seal and
cool as quickly as possible, avoiding
drafts. If a sweet canned product is
desired, there are commercial syrups
and other sugar substitutes which may
be used satisfactorily. The light corn

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, May 31.-From every
point Of the eighty-mile battle front
between Rheims and Soissohs. streams
Of refugees today poured down roads
leading to central France-heeing the
Hun invasion.
Late last night, when 1 returned
from the fighting line where the
homes Of these people are being en-
gulfed. the highways were bordered
with the bivouacs OF fugitives. For
miles upon miles the rolling country
side was all a-flicker with tiny camp
fires Of the refugees. On their weary
march to God knows where, they tar
ried for rest wherever night found
them, sleeping beneath vehicles, the
lucky ones, who had thought to bring
a little food cooking and eating it
under the steps.
The streams Of fleeing humanity
made a pitiful spectacle. Each road
seemed to have it's own particular
caravan and the whole scene resemb-
led the exodus OF the children Of
Israel from Egypt as It Is described
in the Bible.
Every conceivable vehicle was in
use, from huge two wheeled French

Of transporting the effects of an en-
tire household.
On top OF the pile Of goods on some
Of these wagons ] saw groups Of
old women sitting with babies among
them. some OF the children clutching
pet goats and chickens.
In line with these farm lorries we
saw buggies, decrepit carts, smart
carts. dog carts, even automobiles.
and between them and hanking them
paced the less fortunate who had to
march on foot, carrying their sole
possessions in wheelbarrOws, baby
carriages and hand carts.
And there were some folk still
poorer. whose only possessions were
what they were able to carry on their
backs. Sometimes the luggage which
these wanderers bore on their shoul-
ders WAS topped of by a sick baby,
tied firmly to the bundle Of household
effects.
IntermingIed with the human cara
van were herds Of oxen, horses, sheep,
goats and cattle. Here and there lit
tie girls drove fiocks of geese before
them Others herded chickens and
pigs, hitting them with long sticks
to hurry them alone, stopping a mo-
ment to glance back at the familiar
scenes that were being left behind,
then hurrying on to give the family
live stock another urge on its way.

so badly it fell. The top wing of
Meissner's plane was torn on. and he
started to struggle toward home. This
was exactly the same manner in
which he landed his last victim, a
month ago.
As Meissner was nearing the Amer
ican lines a German biplane attacked
him He was unable to maneuver and
was in grave danger. Just then,
Rickenbacher, who had ended a fight
in which he tackled FIVE German
planes single handed and forced one
down, saw Meissner struggling to
escape his pursuer. Rickenbacher
drove straight at the Boche, forcing
him to the ground and saving Meiss-

the hour.

While this was going on another
patrol from the same American squad
ron encountered a German patrol.
One American aviator was forced
down and landed between the German
trenches. The Germans Immediately
opened fire on him. Stepping. Unin-
jured, from his broken machine. he
cooIly studied q pocket map for an
instant, then started running in the
direction of the American trenches.
But he stumbled and fell into a Ger

Boches grabbed him.
The American artillery Immediately
finished his machine, to prevent 1t
from falling into German hands.

new way Of harassing their German
without using guns.
