To CAN
NOW ARE PEARS
AND PEACHES

Peaches and pears are the best
fruits for housewife to can at this
time such was the message sent out
by one of the officials of the Musante
and Pastine Company, fruit dealers,
when asked as to what was the fruits
TO preserve at this time. ''In com
parison to other years, peaches are
scarce, but they are more abundant
than other fruits at this time. The
peach crop all over the country was
below par and that of Connecticut
was a complete failure This makes
the fruit higher then before"
LAS you know Connecticut is not
famed for its pears so they must be
brought from New York and New
Jersey. Neither was this yield as
good as was expected"
year. The apples are abundant, large,
apples are not canned"
Peaches and pears have always
been favorite preserves with the eco
nomical housewife who is wise and
cans summer and fall fruits for the
winter time in other words: "'1n time
of peace prepare for war"
For the, women who are. not IA
mi1iar with the art of canning the
| above mentioned fruits, the follow
ing is given: for pears; take sugar
an water and boil together until a
syrup is made (about one-half cup OF
sugar to every can of peaches). Pre-
pare the fruit. A time-saving method
of peeling the peaches is to loosen
the skins by pouring sca1ding' water
| over them. Fill the jars with the
peaches and syrup and put on TOPS
| without rubbers. Place all jars in
boiler. fill with water, one inch over
| top of jar. Boil for twenty minutes
| 1t should be noted that boil fol
twenty minutes does not NEAR
| twenty minutes after putting jars
! into boiler, but twenty minutes after
| the water starts to boil.
| Pears are preserved in the same
| way, but they must boil about twice
as long. 1t is left to the housewife,
to decide whether the pears SHOULD
be halted or left whole. 1t is said
I-by veteran preservers, that the fruit
much better left in it's natura

A Matter of Good Taste

When Mrs. Aida Coke Keefer, of
Philadelphia, began business with
artistic talent and inherent good
taste as her sole stock in trade. she
avoided the pressure of competition
and opened a new avenue to success
by capitalizing what has proved a
handicap to a majority of other wo-
menrher feminine viewpoint.
Mrs Keefer selected as her special
ty the reconstruction and restoration
of old houses concentrating not on
buildings, but on homes. She found
very quickly that women, whose de-
cision is usually final in the matter
of selecting a place to liNe, like to
consult a woman architect. So, the

A CURE FOR
KIcCoUGHs

Nurse has given me several cures
for hiccoughs which 1 think will be
welcomed to many mothers. She
says to have the patient suck a lump
of sugar having a few drops of vim
egar dropped upon it. Drink a glass
of water upside down. This doesn't
mean to stand on your head though
it certainly sounds like it.
Hold the glass of water on one
hand. lean forward and bend over
the glass, fitting It away from you
and drink from the further edge
Drain it all and drink very slowly
Another remedy is to stand facing
the person afflicted grasp her hands
firmly, look steadily at her and get
her to breath evenly, keeping time
with you. Or have her hold he1
breath and count sixty, or still an
other way is to drink nine gulps OF
water very slowly.

sALEsMANAGER AT NINETEEN

Miss Lima F. Seidler. not quite
twenty-one years of aye, and weigh
pounds, is really quite an important
person in the business and domestic
world, for she is the actual head of
two concerns-the New York office of
a large underwear manufacturing
company and of family or eight.
And four years ago she was, as she
admits, ''just an ordinary stenograph-
err"
How did I do it,? Easy is the
way Miss Seidler sums up her success.
s'When my father died 1 knew that
I had to better myself quickly. I look
ed ahead and figured that I could do
no better in any other business than
the one I was in. But, at that time
I was just an ordinary stenographer
in the Chicago office of the company.
ST started by looking around the
fctory and studying the game from
the ground up. l learned every sell
then I applied for a. position as a
salesman I got 1t, too, because
proved that I knew all about the
goods 1 wanted to sell. After I land
ed my first order-a trial that ]
wouldn't care to go through again
things came easily. I had confidence
in my ability and I knew that I sim
ply had to make good. 1t wasn't lone
state and finally, before I was twenty
I was made head of the New York
| office.
There is no excuse for a woman al
| ways remaining a clerk or stenog
| rapher. I don't believe in a woman
attempting to replace a man just fol
| the sake of doing it, but when she i:
| offered the big chance, there is ne
treason on earth why she shouldn'
| take it. I'm going keep on taking
| every one that comes my way and i
I fall down, I can always hit tn
road again. But. until my younge
| sisters and brother get large enough
| to take my place as head of the fam
lily. I'm not going to- fall down-fo
falling down on the big job has hur
| the business woman more than any
thing else"
