rnMArn PREsERyEs.

Dear Sisters Of the Social Corner: Many of you I know are accustomed to can tomatoes for use during the winter, but preserved tomatoes are delightful during the cold days.
 Use the small pear shaped yellow te- matoes for this purpose. Place a few at a time in a wire basket, plunge them into boiling water to cover; let stand one minute; drainaand peel. Repeat un- til five pounds have been prepared. Weigh three and three-fourths pounds of sugar and arrange tomatoes and sugar in alternate layers in preserving ket- tie, having the bottom layer tomatoes. Cover and let stand until the juice is well drawn out s1about three hours) . Wash, cut lengthwise in nSquarters and Tt- move the seeds and white cores from two large firm lemonts and two large, heavy oranges. Then cut crosswise in very thin slices, cover with cold water and let cook until the skins \are soft. Drain and reserve the water. Skim to- mato from the juice, add the water drained from the lemon and orange Tin1 Stir until the sugar is dissolved; bring | to the boiling point and let cook until syrup drops from the tip of spoon like strained honey Add tomatoes and cor, tinue cooking until the tomatoes ar, transparent add lemon and orange r;nd one-fourth pound of preserved Cantor ginger cut in vain slices and boil five
 minutes. Drain in a colander; retugr syrup to the range and let boil rapidIS ten minutes. Put tomatoes into half pin
 sterilized glass jars filing them hal
 full. Then fill jars to the top with thu boiling syrup. Place new rubber ring
 on the jars, set sterilized covers in plac and seal The recipe makes six pints with no superfuous syrup left over, a is apt to be the case when preserving
 these small tomatoes. Use no water ex cept that in which the citrus fruits wer
 cooked. The ginger may be omitted. Best regards to all members.

SOCIAL CORNER POETRY.

The Army of the Corn. Alas for the valiant army of the corn. that stood in pride Through summer suns and summer rains, upon the fair hillside. No more we hear it's pleasant song as west winds pause to sway Its taaseIed heads and rustling leaves upon their eastward way. It's conquerors came with flashing steel, and laid the bright heads low; It's leaves that tossed with joyous pride lie helpless row on row; It nevermore shall greet the dawn, with ripened, yellow ears, Or dare the forces of the storm, with all it's fearless spears. Full soon the buhrstone's gnawing teeth it's golden grains shall tear. The kline shall trample underfoot it's stalks that stood so fair; For it the western winds shall search and OCT it's fall shall grieve, And where it stood. the winter Fnows their winding sheet shall weave But when the spring shall come again the husbandman will strew Its kernels ripe. and mother Earth shal give tNem birth anew; And on the hillside it will stand with all it's spears unfurled, To fight again, with courage bright, tn, hunger of the world

APPLE PRESERVES.

Corner Sisters: A shelf full of apple butter will go long way in cutting down the high cost of dairy butter this winter. It can be made easily enough, and if the flavor is varied TO one will weary of it. There are but two cautions to observe in making apple butter-see that it is thoroughly boiled, and watch carefully to prevent burning. Apples burn readily in cooking, but close watching Will avoid this catastrophe
 Apple Butter, Plain: Five gallons of sweet cider, l peck of tart apples, two pounds of brown sugar. Core. quarter and pare the apples. Boil the cider down to half, then add sugar and apples and sair we'll Continue boiling until solid, soft milk is formed that does not sepa- rate, then pack in hot sterilized jars and seal.
 If apple jelly is made the pulp remain l ing in the jelly bag after the juice has | dripped through may be used in making l a spiced butter that is excellent as an accompaniment to meat Turn the pulp i into the sieve and press with potato masher Measure. and to each two cups | of pulp add one-quarter cup of vinegar | three-quarter cup of sugar, one teaspoon l of ground cloves. Simmer until thick, then pour into small glasses and seal. It 1 IS better 10 uSe SulaA CCnIdulSES Tdtnek 1 than the large pint or quart jars as only a little of this is likely to be used at a | time.
 Ginger Apples: Five pounds of apples four pounds of sugar, one-haf pound o1 ginger. Place the ginger in boiling wa ter and leave for several hours. Core quarter and pare apples and leave il cold water. Bring to a boil the gingel water and one quart of plain water ana

THE GOOD OLD DAYS OF TESTER
 YEARS


 Dear Editor and Corner Sisters: It is autumn here. In looking back it seems as if we of today do not enjoy as people of years ago. We undertake too much and too much is expected of us
 As years pass customs change and vary to keep in tune with the styles me thinks We older ones can recall the pleasure and welcome which showed in our parents and grandparents faces, when word was received that some friend friend or relative was to visit them for few days. The time inter- vening was not spent as it is today in cleaning the whole houses and tiring ones self all out. In those days (they had no auto dust them B. rooms once cleaned remained so Of course the liy- ing rooms were swept and busted, and 1 the pantry shelves were filled with good 1 wholesome finely favored food and still one was not overtired and had spare time to do as they pleased. The guests 1 friends or relatives received a hearty welcome from their hosts who were glad to receive and entertain them not in the I manner of today but in that kind hos. pitable way of years ago. Rides were enjoyed, also walks about the farm and not the least of their pleasures was the l meals, which were ample and well cook ed. The desserts although not the | dainties of today were delicious. Friends in those days looked forward to taking their sewing or knitting worl l and spending the day with others and also in having them visit them in return Callers were frequent and usually treat. ed to something the good housewife had on hand
 Of course the high cost of living ir these days prevent many from being as generous as our ancestors, But. even il our larder is low We can by our cour. \ teous and kindly manner show that VI are truly glad to see one SC that they will repeat their call and visit.

is She STILL ALIVEp

For over four years a younI
Greek in America had not hearS
from his aged mother, who liveC
in Constantinople. Eagerly h'
watched the mails for letter
Month after month he sent hef
money for food and clothing, but
never knew whether she received II
or not. Four years passed without
a word from his dear old mother
and he was frantic with grief and
despair. Then the war ended and
he fastened home on the first boat
that sailed for Constantinople to
find out il his mother was still
alive.
The terrible strain OF the war has
affected nearly everyone. Ameri-
can fathers and mothers have suf-
fered in silence, waiting day and
night for some word from their
boys far away in the army.
Thousands OF foreign-born Amer
leans have waited in vain for a
letter from their father, mother,
sister or brother across the sea in
war-torn Europe. Grief gripped
their hearts when they thought of
their loved ones cold, hungry and
despairing amid their ruined homes
and the graves of their dead.
How could they laugh when
they were sick at hearth How
could they help grieving as day
after day went by and no letter
came. The mother, whose son was
grievously wounded and at the
point OF death somewhere in
France, could not go to her boy.
She could but wait and pray for
him.
With the clutch of fear at their
hearts and nerves strained to the
breaking point. many fathers and
mothers have braveiy smiled. but
the strain and suspense have
brought the gray hairs. lowered
their vitality, exhausted their
strength and undermined Their
health.
