terry ready, suited to the customers
taste.
Manufacturers are inclined to the
belief that it is result of the war,
says the London Times. One manu-
iacturer said that pathologists he
had consulted were of opinion that
the incessant gunfire on the western
front had caused mems heads to in
crease little in size, and it had
been proved that men suffering
from she'll shock after leaving hos
pital could not wear the caps they
had before they were stricken down
Another hat manufacturer be-
lieves in another explanation, though
he does not definitely assert its
validity. He says: "A soldier when
h. fits on a khaki cap in the store
gets one which will come we'll down
over his head with the peak level
with the eyebrow. 1t fits the head
firmly. and by constant use it be-
comes slightly larger and covers
more of his head than any hat he
ever wore before. He leaves the
army and tries on a stiff or soft
hat of the same size he usually wore,
but, having acquired the habit of a
fuller head covering, he cannot get
his old size to fit comfortably, and
instead of having a 6 7-8 he has a
7 or 7 l-8. He finds this size COW
ers the head we'll, and does not blow
off easily"

Alkali In Soap
Bad For the Hair

Soap should be used very care
fully, if you want to keep your hair
looking it's best. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too
much alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
(Which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than anything else you can
use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lather,
which rinses out easily, removing
every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves
the scalp soft, and the hair fine and
silky, bright lustrous, fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any pharmacy, it's very
cheap, and few ounces will supply
every member Of the family for
Imonths.-Adv.

| portions of the different fruits need
not be the same at all times, either;
as a variation in the proportion of
fruits will give quite different re-
suits.
Pick over and wash fruit, put into
preserving kettle. Mash some Of
the fruit and add three-fourths its
weight in sugar. The old rule was
pound for pound of sugar, but the
needs of the war have made many
of US realize that really better flaw
ors are obtainable with less sugar,
even if there is no special need for
conserving sugar. If you have no
scales add the sugar by measure.
While the measure is not so accurate
it will serve quite we'll Cook fruit
and sugar with frequent stirring 40
to IS minutes, or until a small
amount will thicken on saucer.
Pour into sterilized glasses and seal
with paraffin.
Sealing with Paraffin
There are three methods of
sealing with paraffin, and each has
its advantages. Some people advo-
cate letting the Jelly or jam cool,
then putting on the melted paraffin
later. This method allows the jam
to cool and shrink first. An easier
way is to pour on the melted paraf-
fin, while the jam is hot, immed-
lately after the glasses have been
filled. This way allows no chance
for the top of the jam to be exposed
to air. A third way is to put shaved
paraffin into the bottom of each
glass and pour the hot jam over it.
The heat of the jam melts the paraf-
fin, which comes to top and forms
a seal. Personally | think it is more
bother to shave the paraffin than to
wash the dish in which it is melted.
Kinds of Jam
Almost any kind of iruit makes de-
licious jam, but there are certain
ones that are prime favorites.
Strawberry jam heads the list for
some people; others delight especial
ly in raspberry or blackberry or
gooseberry. If you have ever tasted

there is nothing to equal its delicacy
of flavor. Some economical house
wives have learned the value of rhu-
barb as filler" With everything
sky high, rhubarb still remains
within the reach of everyone; and its
tartness is good with any fruit. Thus
you can make the flavor of the
choicer fruits stretch over a larger
amount by using certain amount
of rhubarb in any jam.

How to Keep Summer Meats

bound to romp through the woods,
row around the lake all afternoon or
by various methods manage to exer:
themselves, so that they come in to
their meals hot and fatigued. How
ever, a menu which will make them
forget the heat and that tired feel
ing" is easily arranged by careful
selection of summer meats and sum-
mer speclaltles which will arouse
their appetites.
These summer meats and special
ties include boiled ham, jellied loaf
PRODUCTS of all kinds, dry sausage,
luncheon beef, tongue, frankfurterc
and many other articles which can
be made up in attractive mann.r
pleasing to the palate of the mos:
critical.
Summer time is the season when
ready-to- foods are in demand
Ill over the country. Housewives
should bear this in mind and pay
particular attention to these various
hot-weather specialties offered ty
manufacturers of food commodities
OF course, heavier meats, such as
roast beef. roast pork. and SO forth
will be necessary, also. and these
can be served cold with salad.
The jellied loaf products, howev-
er, such as corned beef, tongue.
meat loaf, etc, are all summer
meats. They include many different
kinds of meats, and consequently
satisfy all tastes. The large line OF
dry sausages on the market is also
particularly adaptable and should be
kept in mind when placing orders
for supplies. Dry sausage needs no
refrigeration, and is especially de-
sirable for summer luncheon. All
these summer specialties when
properly arranged with radishes,
olives or salads, can be made into
appetizing meals, and hostesses who
make a study of this will realize
not only in pleased guests but in
increased popularity.
The care of meat in summer time
is an extremely important problem.

A RE mems heads growing larg-

manufacturers of hats are
