Been Used for Cocktails

OSSTNTNG, n. T., Oct. I2.--Bay rum,
perfume, toilet water and hair tonics
have been barred from Sing Sing, either
in the barber shop or elsewhere within
the prison walls. The prison authori-
ties have no objection to the use Of
these luxuries if the prisoners can af-
ford to buy them. but it has come to
the attention of Warden Lawes that
toilet articles are not necessarily used
for tonsoriai purposes.

SEBASTOPOL, Oct. 10 (By The As

Wrangel has launched his expected Of
fensive against the new 9Th Army of
the Soviet forces, sheltered behind the

stages of the counter drive which ulti-

Home Canning Necessary.

q. s. Department of Agriculture reader.]
Home canning OF utmost importance
during the war-will be just as Inn
portant this year, according to present
indications as they are viewed by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. The shortage of labor on farms
makes 1t necessary for the canneries to
nay high prices for the commodities
that will be canned later in the season.
Labor in the canning factories is ex-
pensiye and difficult to obtain. Every
thing, from cans to cartage costs, has
increased In price, and transportation
is slow and more expensive than 1t was
during war times. All this increase
must be paid by the ultimate consumer;
and there is not even assurance that
there will be enough canned products
to 20 around. The solution is home
canning.
That sugar is higher in price than it
has been hitherto is advanced by some
as. 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 account of high
priced sugar. There are few deserts
that do not take from 0ne-half to one
cup of sugar and no desert is more
healthful than fruit. 1t Is not necessary
| to use such thick syrup as was used
during the days of plenty. A 10 per
cent syrup made of one part of sugar
and nine parts water will make palat-
able any Of the acid fruits. Such fruits
as apples, pineapples. and the like can
be canned without sugar. In fact, or
binary glucose or corn syrup may be
substituted for sugar in making the
syrup A palatable syrup is made by
mixing one-half cup of sugar. one cuI
of glucose and eight cups Of water.
4 1t requires about ounces Of sugar
for pint jar. One cup of sugar viii
make ten cups of syrup. A pound OF
sugar will make twenty cups. This last
amount will be sufficient for twenty
pints of canned fruit. Where the II
per cent syrup is used the cost of thu
sugar to can a pint jar Is ~ cent:
with sugar at 80 cents pound. 1t i:
not so expensive after ALL
