Her companion shook his head.
"No, he is entirely alone"

She did not tell Mr.. Rodney what
she was going to say to Hugh, and
her father did not ask. He had
become very confident of the wis

A Difficult Position.
Her faith in her own wisdom was
not as strong as that of Hugh's
father. She was painfully aware OF
this lack as she paced the drawing
room when Mr.. Rodney had gone up
to prepare his son for the visit from
the girl he believed to be his be-
trothed.
Ruth's will was strong, and she
would carry through anything she
nttempted-always supposing that
other people played into her hand.
That was q big "if," yet she would
not let 1t terrify her.
Her only safety lay in taking
each minute as IL came. She must
not anticipate.

Saving Money in the Home
Little Tricks For Women
in Household Economics
By ELIZABETH LATTIMER. D..
BY ELIZABETH LATTIMER.

ID EFoRE country housewives
IN learned how to can meat.
- their families ate fresh" at
butehering time until they were
surfeited. The rest was then salt
ed, or smoked, and except a few
chickens and a little fresh meat
bought in the summer IL was what
the family ate until the next
butchering season. Home meat
canning has changed this. Those
housekeepers who put into cans
the surplus fresh meat at butch
ering time are enabled to dis
tribute it over twelve months.
Canning Is equally valuable for
use with surplus chickens. IL Is
better economy TO can the cocker
els and surplus pullets when they
reach maturity. than 1t is TO feed
them all winter.
Meat CsnsinG Popular.
Canning meat in some sections
has become almost as common a
practice as canning fruits and
vegetables. The housewife hnds
that a can OF meat, which requires
only reheating 10 be ready TO serve,
IL a great convenience when COM
pany arrives unexpectedly or on
hct summer days. when the heat OF
the stove for long period becomes
almost intolerable. Canned meat
also makes possible a more varied
diet and lessons the country fam
ily's dependence upon cured. salted,
and smoked meat. the constant and
exclusive use OF which means mo-
notony and less wholesomeness.
Sound Meat and Cleanliness.
The essential thing in meat can
ming Is care-care that the meat is
untainted, care in scrupulous clean
illness, and utmost care in follow
ing directions.
For canning of meats o. steam
pressure Gamer is recommended.
II should be able to develop at least
200 degrees OF heat or 10 pounds
of steam pressure. III tin cans are

justed. but not tightened; screw
tops turned onIy,a little more than
halfway alright 80 ~
Put the jars on the rack above
water in the bottom of the Gamer.
Leave the pet cock open until live
steam is escaping. then close il
and count time from the moment
the required pressure is reached,
which for meats should beshfteen
pounds, corresponding to ,c50 de-
grees +. ~ rfa
Meats are ready for preparation
for the Gamer as soon as the ami
NAL heat has disappeared. For
home canning the meats should be
cooked first-fried, boiled, roasted, b,
baked. or stewed-just as would be
done for immediate service. This,
preserves not only the meat, but
the home-cooked favor as we'll.

from the roasting pan with boiling
water until it partially covers the
meat. Leave at last one-fourth
