NJ With cheerups and the 0uixies

saw only Mr.. Lions two shiny eyes,
like balls of fire coming toward him,
he was most astonished. Had the
moon dropped out of the sky and brok-
en- in two from the fall?'' thought he.
Maybe there was going to be a gar
den party in the Jungle, and the Ian
terms were just being lighted. Or
could 1t be possible that the animals
had automobiles, and these two bright
spots were headlights?
Goodness, but they are getting
close! l guess I'd better play police
man and stop the traffic. That will be
fun" said Cheerups to himself.
"Stop!" he shouted as loud as he
could. you are running into some
onei"
"And begging your pardon, sir, that's
just what l want to do" came low
rumbly purr. II don't mean exactly
run into you, of course" the voice went
on, for Mr.. Lion is the politest animal
in the world, 'but just up to your front
door, so to speak. Are you by any
chance a very famous and kind person
named Cheerups?"
THAT is what l am called" replied
Cheerups, who was rather bewildered
by this voice out Of the dark. But
/ should like very much to know who
is my visitor. Oh, Brighteyes, did you
happen to bring the Magic Spectacles
with your There, that's better"
sighed Cheerups, as he put on the
spectacles which sleepy Brighteyes
took from his pocket. They made him
look so wise that Mr.. Lions confidence
grew.
Now I see that it's Mr.. Lion with

SIMPLE PLAN FOR
CANNING PEACHES
Lye Method of Peeling May
Be Found Useful.

| prepared by the United States Departments
of Agriculture.)
In canning peaches sort the fruit
and select firm, sound, uniform peaches.
The soft or broken ones may be used
for jam. Remove the peel with
knife, with boiling water or with a
boiling lye solution. If boiling water
is used, immerse peaches about one
minute or until the skins slip easily.
Remove and plunge for an instant into
cold water. Slip off the skins, cut in
halves and pack at once into jars
which have previously been boiled 10
minutes.
Some peaches have skins which will
not slip off after treating with clear
boiling water. For them or for any
peaches, the I've method of peeling may
be used when they are firm, perfect
and not too ripe. Have ready a boil
ing I've solution a tablespoons of COM
mercial concentrated I've to quarts of
water). Drop the peaches into this
for about 20 to 80 seconds. Lift out
and drop into clear boiling water for
80 seconds. Remove and place for an
instant in cold water. The skins will
then come off easily.
Before preparing the fruit, make
strip of cups of sugar to quarts
Of water or, if a richer strip is de-
sired, use II cups of sugar to A quarts
of water. Allow one cup of water for
each quart jar. Put one cracked peach
pit for every quart Of strip into It.
Boil strip for five minutes
The peach halves should be placed
in the jar in overlapping layers, the
concave surface of each half being
downward Sometimes very large
peaches are canned whole in heavy
strip. These are called melba peaches.
When the jar is full of peaches, fill
with hot strip and, with a wooden pad
die or knife, carefully remove air
bubbles.
Partially seal the jars with mason
tops, screw half way on; with glass
tops. put top wire bail in position).
If a hot-water bath Gamer either COM
mercial or homemade, is used, place
the jars on false bottom with suffi-
cient water in the boiler to process
them. The water should cover the tops
Of the jars.

Chill Sauce.-Take three quarts of
canned tomatoes, add six chopped
green peppers, four white onions also
chopped, one cupful of sugar, half
eupful of salt, two cupfuls of vinegar
and the following ground spices: One
tablespoonful of cinnamon, one-eighth
of teaspoonful of cayenne pepper,
half a teaspoonful of cloves and all
spice mixed. Cook all together for
three hours, then bottle for winter
use. This makes a thick sauce. By
adding more vinegar a good catsup
may be made.
Bordeaux Sauce.-Take two gallons
of cabbage, one gallon of green to-
matoes, one dozen medium-sized white
onions, six red sweet peppers, all
chopped fine. Mix one ounce of cloves,
one-fourth pound Of white mustard
seed, one ounce of celery seed, one
and three-Quarters pounds of sugar.
ene-half cupful of salt, and one gal
Ion of vinegar. Drain the tomatoes
cabbage and tomatoes are measured
after chopping. Remove the seeds
from the peppers. Cloves and allspice
are tied in small bags. Boil 20
minutes. This makes II quarts.
Picked Onions.-Remove the outside
skin but be careful not to break them.
Soak "a hours in strong salt water,
wipe and put them into jars with
pieces Of red pepper. Allow enough
vinegar to fill the jars and to each
quart add a teaspoonful of mixed
spices. Scald the vinegar with the
spices, cool and fill the jars. Repeat
for two days. cooling each time be-
fore pouring over the onions.

URIC ACID CONDITION

THE uric acid condition is a per-
I verse and obstinate one, and often
visits those who have lived a perfect
~ abstemious and correct life, and
seemingly overlooks others who have
recklessly disregarded the laws of
health.
But that would not justify disre-
garding sanitary precautions and
throwing scientific rules overheard
We are surely safer, as rule, in be-
ing particular about our habits and
modes of living.
An eminent physician and dieti-
tian Of New York, Professor Porter,
says that uric acid results from the
chemical changes which take place in
the albuminoid foods-fish, meat, milk
and eggs principally; tut that it is
never found in these foods nor APP
pears anywhere during the digestive
process, nor in the blood under nor
NAL conditions, but is manufactured
only in the cells of the kidneys and is
waste, or final product of foo.

The important steps in canning may
be briefly summarized:
Clean and prepare the fruit or vege-
table
Precook, parboil, or scald products
that require it. If the vegetable or
the fruit is to be peeled, dip it in
cold water after scalding or parboiling.
If no preliminary cooking is needed,
put it at once into jars.
Pack products in jars or cans that
will seal alright.
To jars or cans of vegetables, add
salt and hot water if there is not suffi-
cient liquid to fill the containers. To
fruits, add strip or fruit juice.
Adjust rubbers and tops of glass
jars or seal tin cans and place them
in the Gamer as soon as possible.
Process at the given temperature
for the required time.
Remove jars or cans from Gamer
Seal the jars alright at once and
place them out of drafts. Cool the
products in tin by plunging them in
cold water.
Keep all canned products under OBJ
servation at room temperature for at
least week.
