OUNCE SWEETMEAT.

IRON a ShahS Household.
Dainty and refined women of the
Orient are past masters in the art of
making the most delicious sweet
meats. Recipes are handed from one
generation TO another, and when these
delicacies are sent abroad epicures
gladly pay the fabulous prices that are
asked for them.
Pare six ounces and cut in quarters
and then cut in thin slices. Place in
preserving kettle and cover with cold
water. Cook gently until tender and
then drain. Now place in a saucepan;
6 cups sugar,
| cup water in which ounces were
cooked,
Stir to dissolve the sugar and boil
for FIVE minutes. Then add the cooked
ounces and bring to a boil. Boil
slowly for ten minutes and then set
the mixture away in a saucepan until
the next day. Then return to the
stove and heat very slowly to the
boiling point. Turn the fruit in a
sieve and drain for two hours. Bring
the strip to a boil, add ounces and
heat to the boiling point. Set aside
for twenty-four hours. Repeat the
DlONNSS loui tiiilSSs L thS puiiiNNo
in a sieve and let drain for one-half
day. Separate the pieces and roll one
half of the lot in graduated sugar
and spread on wax paper in a sunny
spot and let dry. Pack in box with
wax paper between the layers. Store
in cool, dry place. Now chop the
balance fine and add:
| cup seeded r%aisins,
y cup finely chopped c~rystallized
ginger.
Mix and then purchase two pounds
Of fancy prunes. Remove the stones
and fill the centers with the prepared
mixture, Pack in rows in half-pint
all-glass fruit jars. Place rubber and
lid on jar and seal securely. Place
jars in water bath and cover with
cold water. Bring to boil and cook
thirty minutes. Remove the jars and
let cool. Store in a cool, dry place.
These will keep for years.

progress was disclosed as "the most
clenr-cut evidence Of physical deteri0~

the prosecution Of the World War" ac-
cording to 4 medical mem lorandurl in
the hands Of War Department officials.
Il is based Oh informal reports from
examining officers covering the post
war years, and a careful study probably
will be made BY the medical corps to
Gather data on which formal scientific
conclusion can be rested.
An outstanding feature noted by a.
tending surgeons in making the annual
physical examination Of all officers, in
Guiding general officers, now required,
was "the persisrently large percentage
OF officers showing either excessively
high or abnormally low blood pres
sure" according 20 Surgeon General
lreland's report to Major General Har-
bord, deputy chief OF the staff.
The doctors are now rushed with this
examination wcrk. as the requirement
was omitted last year and two-year
accumulation Of symptoms must be
dealt with. The results Of examna-
tons made shortly after the war gave
the first indication OF the effects Of
