Apple Butter Without Cider.

Good apple butter is often made without the use of cider. Enough water is added to the peeled and sliced apples to make a thin apple sauce, and this is allowed to cook very slow ly, or simmer, over low fire for or hours. It must be stirred often to prevent burning. Sugar or sirups, a pound to a gallon of butter. may be added when the product is two thirds done. The sugar that settles at the bottom of New Orleans molasses is excellent for this purpose. Spice to taste.
 Packing Apple Butter.
 Steam glass or stone jars or crooks for about 15 minutes on a false bot tom in a boiler. Prepare apple butter, place boiling hot into the hot jars. Place tops on and seal air tight, set on false bottom in the, boiler, add a little water, put cover on boiler to hold in the steam, count time from when the steam starts to escape; steam small jars for , minutes, half gallon for 10 minutes. and larger con- tainers for 15 minutes. Remove jars and set out to cool Do not disturb covers until product is to be used. If cover does not fit tightly place waxed or oiled paper under it to make a tight fit before sterilizing the jar Fruit butter can be sealed by a layer of paraftin, but at present this is | quite expensive.
 Pear Butter.
 Pear, plum, and peach buffers are made without cider. The pears should be ripe enough to cook up well and after being peeled, cored, and sliced are put into a preserving kettle with a. little water and cooked slowly unti soft. The sugar is then added, one 1 cup to one quart o1 sliced pears, anG cooking is continued very slowly, witt frequent stirring, for 112 to ? hours Various sirups can be substituted il whole or in part for sugar. The but. ter should then be smooth and as thicl as thick apple sauce. A little lemoI 1 juice and. ginger and cinnamon, ol other spice to taste, should be wei stirred into the hot butter Pack whil, hot in hot. sterilized containers ant |

sterilize in steam as mentioned for apple butter.
 Plum Butter.
 Wash the plums and place them in a preserving kettle with water enough barely to cover, and cook until soft. Then put them through a colander or coarse wire sieve to remove the seeds and skins, and to measure of pulp add three-fourths measure of sugar and cook slowly with frequent stirring, until the butter is as thick as desired. Various sirups can be substituted in whole or ill part for sugar. The bue- amount of sugar makes a fairly sweet product, and if a more tart butter is desired the amount of sugar should be reduced. Cinnamon, allspice. and cloves may be added according to taste. Plum butter should be packed hot in sterilized jars or glasses and then be sterilized like apple butter.
 Peach Butter.
 Put the peaches in a wire basket and dip in boiling water few seconds un- til the skin slips-test by raising peaches out of water and rubbing the skin with fingers, then dip into cold water and peel and pit the fruit. | Well-ripened freestone varieties are best. Mash the pulp and cook in its own juice without adding water. If 1t is rather coarse put it through col ander or coarse wire sieve to make a butter of fine texture. To each meas ure of pulp add one-half measure of sugar and cook slowly and stir fre quently until the product is of the de- sired thickness. Various sirups can be substituted in whole or in part for sugar. The meats of several pits may be cooked either whole or sliced in l each gallon of butter. While still hot pack in sterilized jars or glasses with tight fitting tops and sterilize like ap- pie butter. or cover with hot parafhn

ANY MAN TO ANY MAN
Bv GERALD STANLEY LEE

DO not know how other men feel about it but find
hard with all that is happening to the world today,
to look small boy in the face
When small boy looks trlstineIy up to me and
] see his world - the world he thinks he is going to
have, in his eyes. am afraid.
The look in his eyes of the world he thinks he is
going to have cuts me to the quick
have always felt | had an understanding with
small boy before.
But the last four years when he looks at me in that
old way and think of his word-the one see in his
eyes-the one had mysef-the one every small boy
has right to- see suddenly instead the one that is
being left for him by me- by all of u.s. the one he will
have to try to put up with have to live n have to be
man in when you and have stopped trying,
Then when face the small boy want to 60 off
in wide high place alone and think and ask Cod |
want to go down into the city and fi8hEfeht with my
money and with my hope 60 over the top with my
religion and then come back and face the small boy.
There are days during this struggle when my soul
is spent and all the world seems made of iron and glass
and all these crowds of people hockin8 through the
streets who do not seem to
1t seems as if would not turn over my head to save
world to live in myself 1t does not matter about
me-and some days the people | see 60 by almost
make me think it does not matter about them. -.
Then suddenly so by troops of school children at
four o'clock pouring out into the streets. pouring
ike fire. pouring like sunshine out into the streets!
1t is as the roll of drums for the Liberty Loanl
want to ring great church bells to call people to
the Red Cross!
My rule for a mans finding out just how much he
should subscribe to the Red Cross is this:
Put down your name and address on the blank
and leave the amount open to think Then try going
past schoohouse about four o'clock when the children
are pouring out
Or in the evening when the house is quiet put
down your name and the best figure you dare on the
white paper
Then 60 upstairs minute and look in the crib.
Then look at your blank when you come down

SEND THE MOTHERS.

Send the mothers to the Peace
Table. They have given, suffered and
sacrificed; they have toiled at LONE
and in the factory; they have saved
and scrimped and scratched in order
that the country might win the war.
To their determination, to their hero
ism, we owe much of our success;
now let the mothers have part at
the peace table. We have promised
them that this war should be the last
one, and already there are indications
that unless we have the mothers at
the peace table this promise will not
be redeemed; for one country after
another is boasting about the future
strength of their fighting force, for
what? Send the mothers to the peace
tables.
