Home canning-Of utmost inlpOr-
lance during the war-wiIl be Just as
important this year, according to pres
ent indications as they are viewed by
the United States department of agri-
culture. The shortage of labor on the
farms makes it necessary for the can
neries to pay high prices for the COM
m0ditieS that will be canned later in
the season. Labor in the canning fac
tories is expensive and difficult to OBJ
tain. Everything, from cans to cart
age costs, has increased IN price, and
transportation is slow and more ex-
penSiye than it was in war times. All
this increase must be paid by the I'LL
innate consumer; and there is not
even assurance that there will be
enough canned products to go around.
The solution Is home canning.
Can Without Sugar.
That sugar is higher in price than
it has been hitherto is advanced by
some as a reason for canning either
less fruit or nothing but vegetables;
but unless one intends to give up
sweets altogether there seems no good
reason for not using canned fruit On

ID IBBONS have always played a
N prominent part in the apparel Of
women, but they were never so impor-
tant as they are now. Their manufac-
turers look to the ingenuity of design
ers Of dress accessories, of millinery
and Of innumerable pretty furnishings
to extend the demand for their prod
uCts, and these designers have accom-
pllshed more than was expected Of
them. The beauty Of the ribbons
themselves, proves an inspiration and
they have long since ceased to be used
merely as decorations. In millinery
they make entire hats and have for
several seasons, so that the ribbon hat
has an established place which it will
continue to FIJI.
BY way of showing what can be
done with 1t in the hands of artists,
several stars in our American firma-
ment Of dress creators have embodied
ribbons in SUMMER frOcks-and in all
sorts Of frOcks-for morning, after
noon and evening. The results were

HOT WEATHER
Hits the Stomach Hardest

Chicago, Tll.-HOt weather upsets
the strongest stomach and causes seri-
Gus trouble for the weak ones. so word
is now going out to thousands Of
eatOnic users that they should, dur
ing this hot weather, be on the safe
side and take one eatOnic tablet
about half an hour before meals, as
well as after eating. Do this and
keep the excess acids and poisonous
gases from forming in stomach and
bowels. Eatonic acts quickly; it will
help the appetite and take away the
hot-weather, feverish, thirsty feeling
from mouth and stomach, because It
takes up the excess acids, poisons and
gases and carries them out Of the
body and, Of course, when the cause
Of the trouble is removed, there can
be no bad feeling. Eatonic is like
a bit Of candy, and is recommended to
all as safe, sure remedy these hot
days for stomach and bodily troubles,
caused from overeating and drinking
cold things. Adv.

account Of high-priced sugar. There
are few desserts that do not take from
One-half to one Cupful Of sugar, and
no dessert is more healthful than
fruit. 1t is not necessary to use such
thick Sirup as was used in the days Of
plenty. A ten per cent strip made Of
one part sugar to nine parts water will
make palatable any Of the acid fruits.
Such fruits as apples, pineapples and
the like can be canned without sugar.
In fact, ordinary glucose or corn strip
may be substituted for sugar in MAX
ing the strip. A palatable strip is
made by mixing one-half cupfuI sugar,
one Cupful glucose and eight cupfuls
Of water.
1t requires about seven ounces Of
sugar for q pint jar. One cupful of
sugar will make ten cupfuls of strip.
A pound of sugar will make 20 cup
fuls. This last amount will be suffi-
cient for 20 pints Of canned fruit.
Where the 10 per cent sirup is used
the cost of sugar to can a pint jar is
one and one-half cents with sugar at
80 cents a pound. 1t is not so expen-
siye after all.

so good that the idea will carry over
we shall find ribbons in the styles for
fall. 1t was at its best in summary
afternoon and evening dresses and an
adorable example for either afternoon
or evening wear appears in the dress
Illustrated. 1t is Of lace fi0uncing, on
a net foundation, with very wide and
very soft satin ribbon forming part of
the bodice and skirt drapery. The
ribbon is shlrred in four little tucks at
the front and In q single shirring at
the side where it forms full panniers
and falls in two long ends from under
them. A few little blossoms made of
narrow ribbon and having millinery
centers, find resting place on the
flounces, and the same blossoms set
in a border and rows on a filmy para
sol make it a sister to the lovely frock
After the accomplishments of these
artists in summer frOcks, curiosity
makes whatever they will present for
fall already interesting to the fashion
reporter.

SPOELAGE OF BREAD
PREVENTED BY CARE
Cover Lightly to Keep Out Germs
and Dust.
When Cold 1t Should Be Placed In
Close Receptacle That Has Been
Thoroughly Aired--Food Is
Easily Contaminated.

While cooling, newly baked bread
should be lightly covered with a clean
cloth or paper to prevent mold germs
and dust from falling upon it, but
should not be tightly wrapped in
thick cloth, as is the practice in some
households, for unless it is aired, when
taken from an oven, 1t Is likely to be-,
come "soggy" and damp, and thus of
fer an excellent medium for cultfva-
ton Of mOldS, say food specialists Of
the United States department of agri-
culture. When cold the bread should
be placed in a close receptacle that
has been thoroughly scalded and aired
If bread is to be kept for more than
two or three days in damp, hot wealth
er the jar or box should be taken out
and summed for short time now and
then, and again scalded and dried. On
no account should portions of former
baking be stored with new batch.
Cake and cookies should be cooled
after making and kept in tin boxes or
in earthenware Jars, which, like bread
boxes should be scalded and aired
often, Even if these foods are to be
eaten at the next meal, it is we'll to
keep them in some such receptacle, as
it insures protection from dust. A
cake, pudding, or pie that has been
left to cool unprotected from dust or
flies is something that no careful
housewife would place on her table, If
she stopped to think how easily the
food may be contaminated.

SIRUPS SAVE SUGAR
IN MAKING JELLIES
Directions Given by Department
Of Agriculture Experts.
When Fruit Is Cheap and Sugar Ex-
pensive JeIIies May Be Made to
Advantage With one-HaIf Usual
Amount of Sweetenlng.

To obtain the largest possible
amount Of jelly from fruit with the
use Of the smallest possible amount of
sugar follow the directions given be-
low by United States department of
agriculture specialists:
If good jelly-making fruit, such as
ounce, green grapes, tart and partly
ripe apples, Siberian crabs, or cram
berries, is being used, make second
extraction from the fruit. That is, take
the pulp from the jelly bag, add one
cupful of water to each pound of pulp,
cook 20 minutes, and drip a second
time, using some pressure at the last.
standardization jellies are likely to be
somewhat different in flavor from the
first, and it is an excellent plan to COM
bine the two jetlies before sweetening.
When fruit is cheap and sugar ex-
pensive, jellies may be made to advan-
tage with one-half as much sweetening
as usual, that Is, with one-half cupful
Of sugar to one cupful of juice. The
yield of jelly will be less, for one cup
full of a good juice plus one cupfuI Of
sugar should make between one and
one and one-half cupfuls of jelly,
whereas one-half cupful of sugar plus
one cupful Of juice makes between one
81 IL. Z q
Jelly.
One-half of the sweetening may be
glucose strip, light-cOlored corn strip,
honey or sorghum strip. If the other
half is graduated sugar, there win be
little noticeable difference in sweetness
in most cases. Grape with glucose or
corn strip will make a good jelly even
when no sugar Is used.

"Ah, in the olden days they used to

They've told how one of us will eat
