Fill Empty Bottles

Most of us have been told from
childhood the story of the young
prince who searched the world over
for a buried treasure and at last
found it under his own doorstep.
Many times the thing we are
eagerly hunting for far from home
is at our very door. This is more
than a trite moral; it is practical
advice. 1t is especially practical to-
day for the housewife who may
complain that because of the short
age of containers she cannot put
up" as much foodstuffs this year as
formerly.
Because a lack of tin, solder, rub
ber and labor has made a shortage
of cans and jars, it does not neces-
sarily follow that there is a short
age of containers. How about all
on the back shelf of the pantry and
in out-of-the-way corners of the
cellar? They may be brought out
and used, if properly sterilized.
Many women are already forming
neighborhood salvage clubs to as
semble the empty bottles, glass and
earthen jars, and boxes that ordi-
narily would be thrown away both
at home and in the store, and are
redistributing them to women who
have not enough other containers
to hold their winters supply of pre-
served and canned goods.
Unusual care must be taken to
sterilize every bottle and jar that is
salvaged before it is used The fol-
lowing are some suggestions for
using salvaged containers: Bottles
Large narrow necked bottles may
he used for bottling fruit juice, to-
mato paste and catsup. Wide
necked bottles are suitable for pre-
serves, pickles and vegetables. The
contents of bottles corked and sealed
with sealing-waX keep If the usual
canning directions are followed.
BoXes-Tin, wood and pastboard
boxes may be used for dried fruits
and vegetables. Paste over the edges
to protect from insects and moisture.
Cans-Any pressure-lid cans such as
corn syrup comes in, may be used
for canning fruit and vegetables.
Can as usual and seal edge of lid
with sealing-waX.
Jars-If screw-top glass Jars are
used, place cardboard and wax
paper in cover, and dip in melted
paraffin after lid is screwed on.
Earthen jars in which fruit butter is
sold have fitted lids and may be
sealed with sealingwaX

Little Talks by
Beatrice Fairfax

"A mans work is from sun to sun,
But woman work is never DONE"
says an old proverb.
The worthless who administer cleo
tions-I've forgotten their splendid
tltles-evidently do not agree with
the proverb. According to their rat
ing, woman may cook, wash, iron,
sew, sweep, dust and bring up a
family of children-yet she must
write herself down: Occupation

nary to voting.
This accounts for the magnificent
scorn of an Irish lady who has writ
ten me a letter. I conclude she is
Irish because she signs helself Kate

one but an Irish woman could put
things with such indignant forceful-
ness.

Like Mrs. O'Malley. I'm puzzled,
and I can't help wondering if the
gifted author of the phrase "Occu-

"Occupation<-None is an eco

The wife of a wage-earning man

HOW DO YOU STANDF

A and B are both in love with me

B has been in foreign service for a
long time.

them know how they stand?~
You need more than good hus-

and discuss which of these men will
give you more. Have you ever
thought what you have to give to A

either man to the point of bitterness

Canning
Without Sugar

The United States Food Admins
tration is asking every one to buy
for household use no more sugar
than is absolutely necessary. This
is asked in order that there will be
some for canning. But fruits should
be canned without sugar If possible.
Here are some suggestions:
Make Fruit Leather
Mash ripe fruit (berries. cherries,
figs, apricots, peaches and blue
plums may be used) to a pulp,
spread on lightly-oiled platters and
dry in the sun or dryer. When dry,
sprinkle with sugar, and pack away
in jars or very tight boxes lined
with wax paper.
Peaches or half and half peaches
and figs make delicious leather and
need only sprinkling of sugar.
Serve this leather in winter in

Just Apply This Paste
and the Hairs Will Vanish
(Boudoir secrets)

The judicious use of a delatone
paste insures any woman a clear,
hairless skin. To prepare the paste,
mix a little of the powdered delatone
with some water, then apply to the
Objectionable hairs for two or three
minutes. When the paste is re-
moved, and the skin washed, every
trace of hair will have vanished. No
pain attends the use of the delatone
and it will not mar the most sensi-
tive skin, but to insure results, see
that you get real delatone.
