Campaign To Raise $4,000
For Chidren's Home
Continued from Page 1

The present superintendent of the
Home is Miss Carlotta Bryan, who
with her capable assistant, Miss Lola
Jump, has the supervision of the
home and the care and training Of the
children. And right here it is well
TO say that the institution is real

Of the word. AS soon as you enter
you are attracted by the splendid
nome atmosphere.
The sum OF $4,000 is required and
will be raised by canvass. Each coun-
ty has it's chairman and it's working
committee; each county will be ap-
portioned according to it's means and
ability. This is just the opening gun
OF the campaign. The facts are above.

both work and play; then look into
the innocent faces Of the little chill
dren, who without the love of mother,
the protecting care of father, are
really peaceful and happy in the as
surance that the Church is extending
her motherly care and love to them
and providing for them those essen
tial things in life which otherwise
they would be without. It will be a
reflection on the church, yes, reflec-
ton on the Christian people Of the
Eastern Shore Of Maryland, if prop
er provision is not made for their
better care and more wholesome en-
vironment. All that can be done un-
der the prevailing conditions is be-
ing done conscientiously and faithful
ly but in order to achieve better
workmanship the workers must be
provided with better tools. There is
not the shadow of a doubt but that
this great charitable, this purely
Christian movement, on the part of
the Diocese of Easton will meet with
liberal and willing support and a
glorious victory.

Things Worth Knowing

The farmers dollar buys more val
uc in farm machines, quality and
workmanship considered, than in any
ether commodity made Of similar ma

All the money spent in 1922 for

United States, would just about pay
for the automobiles running around
New York City.
Implements make the money, auto
mobiles spend the money. If you

Lovers Age Spells
Girls Wedding Dream

One look at her lovers face.
In which she saw his gray hair
and wrinkled brow, sent Miss
Maude Reeves back to her home
in London. England, with her
hopes for wedding blasted.
Miss Reeves met a man she
knew as ]. Harris, New York
city merchant, through a matri-
monial bureau. They exchanged
pictures and letters, and Harris
finally sent for Miss Reeves to
come to America to be his wife.
The girl saw her lover, turned
her back on the Statue Of Lib
erty, and asked that she be de-
ported to England. Her request
was granted.

small bits. Add just enough water to keep the fruit from sticking, and cook slowly for one hour. Then add three pounds of sugar and cook until thick. Pour into jars and seal.
 Spiced Grape Butter is another old-fashioned goody. Stem the grapes and place them in the pre- serving kettle, mashing them well. To four pounds of fruit, add ten whole cloves, a dozen allspice ber- ries, a stick of cinnamon, and a tiny bit of ginger root. Cook until the grapes may be pressed through a sieve, then add cupful of vinegar to the pulp, also two and one-half pounds of brown sugar. Cook slowly until very thick. Plums of any variety may be sub- stituted for the grapes and will make a delicious butter.
 Damson Jam is an old-time sweetmeat. Old-fashioned house wives will tell you that it should not be eaten until Spring, when become mellow. Wash the fruit and cut it in halves, removing the pits.

delicious dessert; with whipped or plain cream they cannot be ex- celled. Pare ripe pears and cut them in halves lengthwise. Cook in heavy sirup, using the same proportions as in Dessert Peaches, until clear and tender, then skim from the sirup and pack in jars. Boil the sirup down for few moments and flavor with vanilla, taking care not to use too much of the extract. Then pour the sirup over the pears and seal. When serving, a maraschino cherry or bit of preserved ginger may be placed in each half-pear.
 Ginger Pears are so good that we have heard them favorably com pared to the East Indian Conserve which is so popular in some places Select hard, green pears for this sweetmeat; pare and slice them very thin. Allow three pounds of Sugar to four pounds of pears, with two ounces of green ginger root as well. Scrape and cut the root into tiny pieces and squeeze a little lemon-juice over it. Cover the pears with the sugar and let them stand for several hours. Then place them over a slow fire and simmer, adding the ginger root and the juice and grated rind of two lemons When clear and very thick, remove from the fire. The pear slices should remain distinct and unbroken, but should be almost transparent.
 Picked Plums are also very spicy and nice. Allow four pounds of sugar to six pounds of pluns, also one ounce of stick cinnamon, one half teaspoonful of whole mace, one teaspoonful of whole cloves, and quart of vinegar. Mix the spices and tie in bit of muslin. Make a thin sirup of the sugar and vinegar, adding the spices dur ing the boiling process. When boil ing hot pour over the plums, which should be packed in a stone jar, and let them stand for twenty four hours, then boil very gently, in order that the skins may remain whole-if possible, for one hour. Now drain the sirup from the pIums and boil it until slightly thickened Pack the plums in glass jars and pour the boiling sirup over them Seal at once.
 Green Tomato Jam will be quite novelty, and a very good one to have in your assortment of delicacies. To four pounds of green tomatoes, chopped rather fine, add the grated rind and juice of five lemons and two ounces of green ginger scraped and cut in

very gently for half an hour, then measure and add an equal quan- tity of sugar. Simmer for an hour and half very slowly, then pour into jars and seal.
 Preserved Green Cages are also delectable. Peel and halve the fruit and place in the refrigerator while the sirup is being prepared. Crack a few of the plum kernels and add them to the parings, cover with cold water, and cook slowly for half an hour. Then strain through cheesecloth and add sugar in the proportions of one pint to pint and half of the water in which the parings were boiled. Cook until a thick sirup has formed, then add the plums to- gether with any juice which has gathered about them, and simmer till clear.
 Be careful not to boil too rapid ly or the fruit will not remain whole and perfect, as it should; very few moments will suffice. Skim the fruit from the sirup, place it in jars, cook the sirup for a few moments, pour it over the plums, and seal when cold. The fruit may be preserved whole, If preferred. Other varieties of plums may be treated in the same way.
 Plum Tutti-Frutti is made from three or four varieties of the fruit; the golden egg, the green gage, the red, and the purple plums make a delightful combination. Each fruit is treated as in the recipe for Preserved Green Cages, but each is kept separate and distinct When all are finished, the fruit h placed in layers in the jars, the dark purple first, then the goide1 egg, the red next, and last of all the green gage.
 For Green Grape Chutney, mix one quart of green grapes, from which the seeds have been ex- tracted, with one pint of chopped, pared apples, three-fourths of cupful of stoned and chopped rafsins, one cupful of finely chopped celery, one teaspoonfu! each of dry mustard and ground ginger, and sprinkling of paprika. Cover with vinegar and let stand overnight. Then add two cupfuls of light brown sugar, one table: spoonful of salt, and more mustard if not quite hot enough. Let the mixture stand for an hour or two. after the ingredients have all been added; then simmer slowly for four hours. Seal while hot.
 White Grape Conserve is pop ular dainty. Wash and cut ths grapes into small pieces without removing the seeds. Cook without adding water, until very soft. Press through a sieve and s;mme-. the pulp for fifteen minutes Add three-fourths of a pound of srG-.s to every pint of juice, ard co.x until clear and of a pale sresn.

lengthwise in half and use one of these portions. Such quantities as few grains or a speck are less than one-eighth teaspoonful, and are therefore too small to be measured in measuring spoons, but are generally accepted as the amount that can be taken up on the tip of disappointed knife.
 In measuring a cupful of liquid, pour the liquid into the measuring cup up to the cupful mark. Never dip the measuring cup into liquid to be measured. To : measure fractions of cupfuls of liquid, fill the cup to just the de- sired division indicated on the cup. In measuring spoonfuls, take up all the spoon will hold. Or, in measur- ing a spoonful of flavoring, pour directly from the bottle into the measuring spoon, filling the spoon to capacity. Even if one wishes to use but a few drops, it is safer to pour it first into a measuring ~1PooI' o1Ad I1idS aNoAo SFCA -iaFO1- ing.
 The measurement of solid fats requires a special word. Contrary to the general rule for measuring, fats should be packed tightly in the measuring cup or spoon, as the case may be. Heap slightly and then level off as in measuring dry ingredients. Never attempt to dip into solid shortening with the aluminium measuring spoons, as they are not constructed to stand such usage, and will be apt to break.
 In measuring quantities less than one-half cupful, two methods may be ollowed-measure out the desired amount by tablespoonfuls, or since fats are so hard that it is difficult to pack them into a tablespoon, the following method is perhaps easier: For example, in measuring third cupful of shortening, fill the measuring cup two-thirds full of cold water Then drop in pieces of the solid fat, pushing them we'll under the water until the water rises to the one cupful mark. After pouring off the water, you will have ex- actly one-third cupful of shorten ing. Similarly, in measuring one- fourth cupful, first fill the measur- ing cup three-fourths full of cold water, and then proceed as above. 3. by Star Company, Great Britain B

Institute Methods
 to Employ in Making
 the Most of Autumn Fruits

D EFORE you give that preserve H kettle it's we'll earned Winter
 rest, we do want to suggest just a few novel and delicious sweetmeats that are to be made from the late fruits, every one of which is just the thing for those unusual and special occasions which are bound to arise in every family.
 It is we'll to reserve corner in the preserve closet in which to keep these extra nice things, which help out so bravely when unexpected guests arrive, or when you wish to do special honor to some one. The spicy jellies, delicate conserves, and other good things of which we are going to tell you, have won many a compliment from our friends, and never are they tasted that the recipes for making them are not at once demanded.
 Harlequin Conserve is the first of these dainties, and must be made while the peaches are in season because twenty-five of the incest yellow peaches that you can find are required as a foundation for the conserve. A pound of white grapes, ten red pluns, one pineapple, one orange, and one fourth of a pound of blanched almonds are also needed. Wash all the fruit thoroughly. Pare the peaches, plums, and pineapple and cut each fruit into small pieces. Halve the grapes and remove the seeds, using a small pointed knife for the purpose. Slice the orange az thin as possible without remov- ing the peel, and cook all the fruit together over a slow fire until soft and well blended.
 Measure and allow three-fourths of a cupful of sugar to each cup full of fruit. Cook very gently for twenty minutes, then add the almonds chopped, and continue cooking very slowly, stirring oc- casionally until the conserve is thick and clear; this will require

WHEN we'll made and of good
 w quality, tea emits a
 bouquet whose delicacy of fragrance can scarcely be sur passed. Tea lovers are fastidious in their tastes and are most dis eliminating. They cannot enjoy cup of black tea when their choice is green. They can tell whether or not the water was boil ing sufficiently hard when it was poured over the tea, and this lat ter condition is an important one.
 Tea should always be stored in an air-tight container. A tightly closed bag will not do, as odors can be absorbed through it. Tea has been known to lose it's flavor because of having been kept in a paper bag next to an open pepper box. There are definite rules for brewing tea, whatever it's variety or color. An excellent mixture is that of English Breakfast Tea and Ceylon in equal proportions.

divided into thirds and quarters
 The standard measuring spoons which come in aluminium set, grad uated in size from tablespoon to a quarter of teaspoon, are es- sential. Added to these a quart measure and a set of scales will prove decided asset. The scales will prove useful not so much for measuring, as for check on sup plies as they come from the market. This equipment especially designed for measuring purposes, correctly used, will do much to eliminate cookery trials.
 While in general the rule to make all measurements level, be it quarts, cupfuls, tablespoonfuls, or teaspoonfuls, holds good, there are few definite rules for measur- ing which it is we'll to know. In measuring a cupful of any in gredient, never dip the measuring cup into the material. Rather, in the case of dry materials, fill to heaping, using an ordinary table spoon. Then level it off. Do not shake the cup or attempt to pack the ingredients in tightly. For leveling use spatula or the blunt side of case knife. Fractions o1 a cupful of dry ingredients, less than one-half cupful, are most easily measured by tablespoonfuls, since it is difficult to level the ma terials in the cup at the third and quarter marks.
 To obtain the correct amount one need only keep in mind that there are sixteen tablespoonfuls in a aicupful and three teaspoonfuls in tablespoonful. To measure a tablespoonful of any dry in gredient, dip the measuring spoon into the ingredient, heaping it slightly. Then level it with a spatula or knife. Measure tea spoonfuls, half-teaspoonfuls, and quarter-teaspoonfuls in the same manner, using the measuring spoons of those respective sizes. It may be well to say here that the measurement of one saltspoon- full equals one-fourth teaspoon full. As there is no one eighth tea spoonful measure in the set of measuring spoons, to secure one eighth teaspoonful accurately. measure out one-fourth teaspoon- full as above directed and then with a spatula or knife, divide it
