There is no doubt but that the

there have been several transfers of
scheduled games without securing
consent of other clubs in the circuit.

Putting Up the Raspberry and the
Currant.

The woman who enjoys her canning
welcomes currants and raspberries as
| they rtpen on her bushes or appear
IN the market place. For they are
fruits which seldom result in a pre-
serving failure. The inexperienced
housekeeper will do well to begin her
canning experience with these fruits.
Raspberries are SO perishable that
they should be put up as soon as
picked or delivered from the market.
They are generally combined with
rants contain. much 'pectin" - that
substance which makes jelly "jell,"
or stiffen.
currants should never be picked
directly after q rain. They make the
pest preserves when they are put up
before becoming quite ripe. The cherry
currants." on account Of their large
size and delicious flavor. are better to
use In preserving than the smaller
varieties. and the price for them is
generally only a few cents moro a
quart.
Currant JelIy.-Do not stem, but re-
move all leaves and wilted fruit. Place
layer Of the currants in the bottom
OF the preserving kettle and mash
them we'll with the bottom of a cup,
then add a few more and mash again.
continuing until you have smashed
all you have in this way. Add no wa
ter. Simply set the kettle over slow
fire to draw out the juice, and when
the currants look white. strain the
Juice through double cheesecloth.
Measure this strained Juice. and for
each cup Of 1t set aside cup Of
granulated sugar. Put the measured
juice back into the preserving kettle
and bring it to boiling point: boil for
five minutes, then add the mea sured
sugar and continuing boiling until

Chronic Laryngitis.

Describing acute laryngitis the other
the vocal cords and that these two
elastic cords assume different positions
(approximated or separately and diff
ferent tensions under the control of half
a dozen little pairs of muscles inside
the adams apple"
Chronic Inflammation Of the larynx is
commonly associated with some chronic.
perhaps unrecognized lesion of the nasal
passages Of a nasal sinus. and is prone
to develop in public speakers and singers
who are not we'll trained in the proper
use of the voice or who indulge in to-
bacco. Tobacco smoke. the dust of such
industries as stonecutting. metalwork-
ing and milling, and sometimes irritat-
ing fumes or gases in chemical indus
tries. are common predisposing causes
Of chronic laryngitis. About one-third
of the patients having tuberculosis of
the lungs develop tu6erculous laryngitis
secondarily. although through the popu-
lar policy of procrastination 1t often
happens that the laryngitis brings the
patient to the physician before the ex-
istence Of the lung tuberculosis Is estab-
of chronic laryngitis is tuberculous.
It is in this form of prolonged lar
yngitis that the voice tires quickly and
grows husky when used for a little
while. growing weaker with any pro-
longed effort, and perhaps failing en-

chickering's of the covering epithelium

With Berries.

This Is berry season. In some parts
OF the country, where late frosts were
followed by long drought, there are
not many berries. and those few are
above the usual price. stih this is the
season for berries. and berries we all
have. by hook or crook.
Now berries are particularly good
served Just as plain berries. Washed.
dried. chilled and served with cream
and sugar. with one or the other. or
without either, they are delicious.
Some persons. who eat them without
cream or sugar. think they are spoiled
that is a matter Of taste.
And aside from plain berries. with or
without cream or sugar, there are many
tempting ways of preparing them for
the table.
One way is to make a sugar and
| water sirup and. when 1t Is quite cold.
to pour it over the berries. This may
be served with or without whipped
| cream.
Then there are delicious tarts made
to a light golden brown and cooled.
Then the berries, lightly crushed and
sweetened, are added. Over the top
Is piled whipped cream. Or else you
may use meringue to top the berries.
or chilled soft custard may be poured
over them.
Berries are an excellent addition to
any ~mufhn batter. Just wash them
and dry them and add them. about a
cupful, to an ordinary muffin recipe.
Bake in the usual way and serve with
butter
Berry pies, Of course. are delicious
when they are we'll made They should
be very carefully made, as much de-
pends on having them correctly sweet
ened and Juicy enough without being too
juicy.
And then there is berry ice cream.
Add crushed or sweetened berries to
any ice cream mixture, remembering
that the mixture will taste less sweet
after 1t Is frozen and should therefore
be oversweetened. Freeze in the usual
way. A berry mixture usually takes
longer to get hard than q plain cream
mixture. either Of the custard or Of
the non-egg variety.
