CAN WITHOUT SUGAR,
HOUSEWIVES ADVISED;
TOLD HOW IT'S DONE

Is 1t possible to can fruits success
fully without sugar and. If SO, what is
the best method, are questions asked
nowadays by many housewives in
view of the scarcity and high price of
sugar. Sometimes fruits needed to
make the diet more palatable and var.
led duringg the winter have gone to
waste because sugar was not available
for canning when they were ripe. Such
waste can be prevented; for, according
to the experts of the United Staes De-
partment of Agriculture, apples some
what underripe, also gooseberries,
raspberries, blueberries and other
sweet varieties of plums and cherries
may all be canned in their own juice
without the addition of sugar. In fact,
many housewives think that the flavor
of many fruits canned without sugar
and sweetened just before using is
better and more like that Of fresh
fruit than when canned with large
quantities or sugar or in a heavy strip.
Ii the fruit is very sour or is canned
in large pieces, heating for few min
utes when adding the sugar before
servin will make it penetrate the fruit
more thoroughly and evenly.
Fruits may be canned In their own
juices without the addition of any
sweetening in at least three ways:
A simple method Of canning, espe-
cially good for such soft, Juicy fruits
as berries, is as follows: Pack the
washed fruit into the jar and, without
adding any liquid of any kind, process
the fruit in the customary way for the
usual period, or perhaps four or Ave
minutes longer. The processing draws
the juice from the fruit and the
canned product often has an even bet
ter flavor than when strip is added.
Another way of canning fruit with.
out sugar is to cook the ripest fruits
over moderate heat until the Juice Is
drawn from them, adding no water un-
| less necessary and in any case only a
very little. Drain the juice from the
fruit through a jelly bag, bring this
juice to the boil, and use it like boiling
| strip to fill the jars into which the
firmer fruit has been packed Then
| process the jars of fruit in the usual
| way.
Still Another Method.
| Still another method is to cook the
| fruit to a sauce of the desired con-
sistency in an open kettle, and without
adding any sugar. pour it into Jars
scalded in the following way: Cover
the jar, tops and rubbers with boiling
water, remove them from the water
one at a time as needed, being careful
| not to touch or wipe the jars inside
pour in the fruit while boiling hot
and seal each jar at once. This meth
cd is not so uniformly successful as
when the fruit is cooked in the lar
because it is difficult to prevent bac
terra and molds from getting into tn,
| fruit and the jar while they are beins
filled and sealed. Many housekeepers
however, can acid fruits and tomatoe:
in this way successfully year after
year.

Use of Singer Sewing Machines.

The extensive use of the singer
sewing machines by the Red Cross
depots in this country and abroad
has set a new mark OF efficiency in
performance for this well-known
product OF American mechanical
skill and inventive genius.
SO wide has their range of use
fulness proven that they were em-
ployed not only on lighter sewing
of the hospitals, but handled the
heavier sewing for the reclamation
branches of the work with equal
efficiency. Especially noticeable
has been the absence Of need for re-
pairs.
The selection of this particular
machine for service was made only
after exhaustive tests and rigid eX-
animation of the different brands
of sewing machines and the Singer
is reported to have maintained It's
established reputation for durability
and all around adaptability Its
record stands as an evidence OF the
superiority of American manufac-
tured product subjected to the most
rigorous tests in national service
during and since the war.

Now it is no new thing for the

general practice has been to allow
him a jobbers' discount that a re-

What the Proctor a. Gamble Co.
