= Canning Fruit Without Sugar.
THE sugar may be omitted in can
ming without in any way affecting the
ease of canning, the keeping quality
of the fruit or the wholesoneness OF
the product. Follow directions givel
in Farmers Bulletin No. S53. Tn
sweetened fruit is suitable for pies,
fruit pudding, sauces, and salads.
Fruit Canned in Fruit Juices.
Fruit retains it's shape when cam
ned in fruit juices. The Juice may
be extracted from the small and i'm
perfect fruits which are not suitable
for canning whole. or fruit JUICES
from different fruits may be used.
, Apple and grape juices are suitable
for use with other fruits. This is g.
valuable way of emphasizing the nat
ural fruit flavor and increasing the
fruit sugar in the product.
Canned Fruit Juices.
Prepare fruits as for making jelly.
Cook fruits in a little water till re-
duced to pulp and strain. Reheat
juice to boiling point, pour in stecil-
lied bottles and seal with cork. DIP
in melted parafin to insure perfect
seal. Fruit juices are especially
suitable for beverages, sauces, geia-
tin desserts and ices. The juice can
be made into jell. later when sugar
becomes more plentiful.
Fruit Syrup.
Extract fruit juices either by cider
press or small fruit press or by boil
ing in little water. Strain through
Jelly bag. Boil the fruit juice to corr
eentrate it to the consistency of :
syrup. Test by pouring little in
cold water. Do not cook until it
hardens when tested in water. Pour
into sterilized bottles and seal. This
syrup will be rather tart as it con-
tains all the fruit sugar. Fruit sy-
rups may be used on pancakes and
in cooking as other syrups.
Preserves.
For preserves use the following
proportions of syrup with sugar a,ld
a little water or none if thick pre-
serves are desired. Add to the fruit
and cook slowly to draw out the fruit
juices and until of the right conss-
tency.
For medium sweet fruits
Use for every pound CT fruit rs
cups or 7 1-2 ounces syrup; IL cup
or ounces sugar: IL to IL cup
water.
Use for every pounds of
fruit: 3 cups or pounds 8 ounces
syrup; IA cups or 10 ounces su-
gar; to 2 CUPS water.

TWO MORE EAR8ECUES
ON LAST FRIDAY

/ went to two barbacues last Fri
day, one al Young,s Grove where the
campaign fo- the warehouse vas Aeic
and one IT Mr.. D. Z. Haifacre's near
St. Phillips school house. There was
a very large crowd at Young Grove
as there always is on any pubic oc-
casion and the speakers who are con-
duating the campaign for the ware
house and other matters pertaining
to the farmers had coed attention.
The same speakers that were at New
berry the day before spoke here or
Friday.
AS stated elsewhere the cotton
grader for this county was assured
at the meeting at NewbeTry or
Thursday and the money for his sal
ary and other expense pledged. This
is a great thing for the cotton seller
and we should think a good'thing for
the cotton buyer. He Will know
what he is getting ard the seller VIII
know what he IS selling. In, other
words it stabiliZes the price OF cot
ton and the man who has good cot,
tor will get a just price for it. 1t
has proven of great benefit where the
grader has been established. And
then there will be ample provisions
made for warehousing the cotton II
this county. That will also be q good
thing fer all parties concerned.
In the afternoon l drove over tc
Mr.. Halfacre's and there was good
crowd at his barbecue. It only
proves what has written before that
the people seem to be barbecue nun
gy this year. The crops down this
side are good but there is need OF
rain particularly for the corn. The
roads are dusty and where they have
been fresh worked are especially
dusty and will remain so until there
is rain and then if they are drag
ned they will remain good until win

which now are almost unattainable, sitna-
ton without precedent in this country. 1t Is
said that thousands OF acres Of tubers were
bought by dealers and permitted to freeze in
the ground last fall for the purpose Of boosting
prices. Undoubtedly great many acres that
had been bought by dealers did freeze. but it
was because the crop matured late, it was =
wet fall, labor was scarce and there came
sudden freeze. Some OF those who invested
heavily in potatoes lost large sums Of money,
but they didn't do 1t voluntarily. Potatoes
were a failure last year in all but a limited

seriously doubted. since potatoes are perish
able and the business OF growing and market
ing them cannot we'll be centralized.
Many people are firmly convinced that there
is no scarcity of wheat Have they not been
told Of the great quantities in South America
and Australia untouched during the war be-
cause Of lack of shipping and now available?
Press dispatch from london which quotes a
message from Sydney saying that the wheat
ieses made upon Australia have been so heavy
that there is danger that the Australians will
have to import grain next year to feed them

Evidences might be multiplied to prove that
there is lack of practically everything that
people want. The sooner everybody quits ar
guing the matter, accepts the situation and set
ties down to steady production the better it

whose working capital is discomfort.

Goodbye Carranza.

II President Carranza has not already gone
he'll probably soon be on his way. And il he
is wise he will go prepared to stay.
Americans generally have not formed
very high opinion of the head of the Mexican
republic. 1t should be remembered though,
that certain influences in this country have
made it their business to try to discredit him
and some allowances should be made on that
ground Taking him up one side and down the
other he has been about the kind of presi-
dent that would naturally be found at the head
Of the kind of people from which he has sprung.
One president is about as good as another
for Mexico at the present stage of affairs. 1t
is practically impossible for the kind of man
who might give good administration to get
the Office and if he did he couldn't hold it with
out doing great many things that no honest
decent person, imbued with a real desire to
serve would stand for What the country
reeds is wise dictator an animal which may
have existed in the long ago, but is now in the
dodo class,
Few tears will be shed over the departure
of Carranza but don't count too strongly upon
radical improvement in his successor, whoever
he may be.

Questions and Answers.
Bow Legs and Rickets.-What is
the difference between bow legs and
ricketts,? What causes ricketts, and
what is the cure? (R. Z. j.
Answer-Rickets is a disease
characterized by defective nutrition
of every tissue of the body, in
Guiding the blood (Which is a
liquid tissue) and producing, as ope
conspicuous effect, more or less
bony deformity-as of the spine, the
chest, the skull, the legs. 1t has
always been known that infants fed
with most substitutes for fresh
milk. are prone to suffer ricketts,.
There is now some reason to be-
lieve that this is attributable to the
utter absence of vitamines in such
substitutes. Bow legs are some
times a result of ricketts,, though
more frequently ricketts, causes a
forward bending of the shin bones.
Fresh milk, fresh cereal gruels,
fresh fruit juices, fresh vegetable
soups, fresh meat broths, and cod
liver oil, are our best remedies for
ricketts,, save that open air and sun
shine are powerful aids to recovery.
Cod liver oil, like the fat of milk,
is rich in vitamine. An infant must
have live fat in its food, not to
make the infant obese, but to sup
ply the Indispensable vitamines.
Lunacy.-We are told that the
baby should be weaped by Ger
tain sign OF the moon. Will you
please tell us by what sign, and
also give any other information you
may have along this line. &c. b.
| Answer-Watch the moon care
fully from the birth Of the baby, and
| when il has made 10 complete cir
cults of this gullible old world,
wean the baby. The term lunacy
refers to Luna, the moon. Keep
away from clairvoyants and for
tune-tellers when the moon shines,
and avoid the Saireygamps when she
shines not. Now quit your nom
sense and send a stamped envelope
addressed to yourself for a letter
of advice about when and how to
wean the baby.

Hygiene and tuberculosis.

nySIche anu 1uoeICuAVsiss
The big noise made by hired
workers who undertook to teach the
public all tbout the great white
plague" has dwindled appreciably
in the past few years and more
thoughtful students are finding an
opportunity to check up on the re-
suits of all that deplorable side
show business.
1t appears that the death rate
per thousand population from tu
berculosis has been steadily de-
creasing for over a hundred years
here in America. The death rate
was on the decline for three gener-
atoms before the cause of tuber-
culosis was discovered. In the 20
wears Immediately preceding the ma
tion-wide educational campaign Tin
Guiding 10 years preceding the dis
covery of the tubercle bacillus) the
decrease in the death rate was 27.5,
according to DR.. George Thomas
Palmer of Springfield, ILL., In the
20 years following the establish
ment of the first volunteer tuber-
culosis association flor educational
work. the death rate from tubercu-
losis decreased 30.5, which would
seem to suggest that the great
white plague" howlers had done
some good in the world. But let
us remember that statistics have a
way of lying in spite OF every care,
and that the diagnosis and report
ing of tuberculosis cases have con-
tributed much toward the reduction
of death rates, and these factors do
not depend upon public health edu-
cation.
AS DR.. Palmer points out, living
conditions have steadily improved
in the past hundred years. Means
Of cleanliness, sewage disposal, wa
ter supply, safe milk and better
supervision of food supplies have
contributed toward better health
and better resistance, and hence to-
ward reduction in the death rate
from tuberculosis.
Most important of all, perhaps,
though Or. Palmer does not say
so, is the fact that the people have
gradually discarded the more Vi
cious of their decisions regarding
fresh ain and exposure. 1t was
when night air" was carefully ex-
cluded from the sleeping rooms that
tuberculosis reaped its greatest har-
vest. 1t is in such institutions as
Rollers sunbath hospital at Ley
sin. Switzerland, and the famous
j. n. Adam Memorial hospital es-
tablished by DR.. John Pryor at Per
rysburg, n. Y, that the least fear
of exposure prevails and the most
remarkable cures of tuberculosis
are brought about. At Perrysburg
as at Leysin and elsewhere, chill
