FRUITS CAN BE CANNED WITH
OUT SUGAR.

Don't let cost or difficulty of OBJ
tanning sugar deter you from can
ming qualities of fruit this year. Fruit
can be canned without sugar. In
stead of using sirup. simply fill the
cans with clean hot water and pro-
cess in 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 sirup. The
use of even Il thin sirup in canning
fruits will give n more attractive fin
tShed product than can possibly be
obtained by canning in water If
sugar is not available, it will be well
to consider drying the fruits instead
OF canning. since good dried prod
uct Is far better than a poor canned
one. The Importance of canning in
less water should be stressed this
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1918-06-27

Boil empty jars and lids for at least
fifteen minutes before you fill them
with the fruit. Rubber rings Just
before being put on the Jars should
be cleansed by dipping for a minute
into quart of boiling water in which
a teaspoonful of cooking soda has
been dissolved. Take the Jars out
of the water BATH drain quickly and
fill, while still hot, with the fruit
prepared as described below. Fill
the jar with hot sirup or hot water.

tainers. Fruits canned without sugar
or with the addition of a very small
amount of sugar may be used for pie
Filings. desserts and in other ways.
Fruits for home use can be canned
with corn sirup or refiners' sirup in
place of part of the sugar ordinarily
used. Sirups with distinctive flavor
add sweetness. but also, of course,
change the flavor of the canned fruit.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Some persons are surprised when
they go to pack their suitcases for
journey to find them shabby or spot
ted, the leather dry and cracked, or
covered with greenisn mould. They
have been stored away either too near
furnaces and steam pipes, or in damp
cellars.
All leather goods, chair seats, book
covers, travelling bags, etc., must have
consideration if they are to retain
fresh, attractive appearance. Shoes
are preserved by the dressing on the
leather. Book covers of leather or
calf which are beginning to grow dry
and brittle should be rubbed with
very small quantity of vaseline. If
merely shabby and spotted, they
should be rubbed with well-beaten
white of egg, as should chair seats and
all other leather articles, with the eX-
ception OF sole leather suit cases,
which are best cleaned by using ordi-
nary russet shoe polish.
In many rural communities and in
most cities it is earnestly urged by
physicians that drinking water be
boiled, particularly in the summer and
fall, and this is "a most praiseworthy
practice, as many disease germs, par
ticularly those OF typhoid Ieyer, are
found in impure water A Serious OBJ
lection to the boiled water is however,
the peculiar flat taste which it has.
This disagreeable quality can be
very easily removed. Simply pour the
water from one pitcher TO another sew
eral times, when it will be found to
be perfectly fresh" and the effect
will be even more noticeable if the
operation is performed in the open air.
There are millions of homes where
are kept little feathered prisoners OF

ers keeps the bird cage in really good
condition.
To prevent insects from infesting
the bird cage great cleanliness is nee
essary. An occasional scrubbing OF
the cage with water and household
amonia will do wonders, but to do this
it is necessary to have another cage in
which to keep the bird until the first
cage is perfectly dry and all the anon
ia fumes have disappeared. 1t is a
good plan to keep very small bag OF
powdered sulphur hanging in the cage.
This will not harm or Inconvenience

Resolutions

Resolutions Of the Faculty of
Gustavus Adolpus College on account
Of the demise Of Adolph W. Mattson,
January 10th, 1918.
Whereas the Lord who holds CDR
destinies in his providential hand, and
who so often reminds us. particularly
at the present time, that even youth is
mortal, and that the commencement
that follows upon life's schooling may
come far sooner than expected, has de-
creed that the departure of AdOlph
Mattson from the halls of Gustavus
Adolpus College was to be forever,
therefore be it
Resolved, that the Faculty Of this
college express the sincere feeling Of
loss of teachers and schoolmates, Oc-
casioned by the departure of this young
spirit from our midst;
That we testify to the cheerful, faith
full and exemplary life which our young
friend lived among us, and hope that
God has called him to greater happi-
ness than earth can give;
That we pray that those who have
lost son and brother may find the
solace which God alone can give.
On behalf Of the Faculty Of Gustayus
Adolphus College.

The Man Over Forty-five.

The employment bureau Of the
Chicago Employers Association, recent
~ undertook to find work for men over
10 years OF age, who ordinarily have
difficulty in obtaining positions. Dur
ing the past year they report having
found jobs for 9,190 such. The bureau
reports that it has found that grey
hairs indicate the age discretion. Many
other employment agencies are report
ed to be making a special effort to fnd
places for the older men.
This is a matter in which the mental
attitude of the older men has been part
~ to blame. 1t is not for imaginary
reasons that SO many concerns insist
upon having young men, And it is not,
SO much as people think, because the
older men lack energy. A great many
of them are full Of pep and life. Con-
sidering that they work with judgment
and experience, they can accomplish a
great deal. .*zs: =, ..,..s-s #
The trouble with the older man is us
ually that he gets too set in a certain
rut, also he is more apt to become dis
couraged. He looks back on his past
experiences and sees a good many dis
appointments and failures. So when he
has made few tries at thing, he is
apt to quit and say it can't be done.
An elderly man does not need to work
with the high speed and feverish energy
of youth. That kind of effort is fire.
quently SO i'll judged that it is. not
successful. What is needed is the will
ingness to keep trying out new: things,
even if previous experiments do prove
futile. -. 49,. ..-....s ..,..... -.
No elderly: man ought to be- satisfied
to run along week in. the old groove.
He ought always to be thinking how he
can beat his old record. The man who
can keep up that habit Of mind is not
likely to be, thrown out of position
because Of his age. If he is thrown
out, he will get recommendation that
will give him a new chance.

Newspaper Advertising Best.

A study of that situation was recent.
~ made by the advertising manager OF
the Ford Motor Company. He found
that in 81 cities of the United States
the 149 newspapers had total circula-
ton of 15,O00,O00. In the same cities
a group of the principal leading maya.
zines had but $4,000 circulation.
This test was of course made in the
larger cities: But similar rate
would hold good through the country
at large. In any particular community
the circulation of any one magazine is
but small fragment Of the population
