s preserving time draws near
a every housewife feels the stir

more delicious preserves, jams and

Preserve making Is not all en-

the most important problems to
consider in making preserves.
The syrup must be introduced
gradually 30 that it will permeate
the fruit thoroughly without
shrinking 1t.
IF the syrup Ii too heavy at the
beginning. the juices Of the fruit
win be drawn out so rapidly that
the surface becomes coated with
the syrup and very little can enter
the fruit. The fruit shrinks, be-
comes hard and tough. For this
reason 1t Is necessary to start the
cooking Of all fruit in thin
cyrup. This rule applies to prac-
tically ali preserves except straw
berries which seem to be in an
isolated class since they require
4 large amount Of sugar from the
beginning to conserve their flavor,
color, and, to some extent, their
texture.
All preserves should be cooked
rapidly until clear, tender, and
transparent. The finished product
should be bright, clear, sparkling
and OF good color. There should
be enough syrup to cover the
fruit while cooking and il il be-
comes too thick before the fruit
is cleaer and tender a small
amount of boiling water should
be added to keep the syrup at q
fairly constant density.

The Proper Gesture
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ When a gentleman accom-
panies a lady to a restaurant or to
dinner is 1t imperative that he give
the lady's order to the waiter, or
may she give her own order2 If
the gentleman is supposed to give
the lady's order. how does he do
it? Should he, in giving the !ady's
order, mention to the waiter that
this order is the lady's and then
give his own?
A FRENCHMAN.
Yes, since the gentleman IL the
host, the lady shows difference to
the fact by giving her order to the
gentleman. The gentleman then
gives both orders to the waiter, the
lady's first. It Is not necessary
: to indicate which order IL his and
which Is the lady's. To begin with,
usually the waiter hears what the
lady says to her companion, and
when he brings in the order places
It correctly. If he does not. 1t Is
easy for the gentleman to indicate
the placing. As q matter Of fact,
when 4 waiter II weIl-trained, he
does not look to the lady for her
order, knowing that she should
give It to her host. But usually
walters are not this well-tFained,
and the lady, regardless gives her
order to her host.

MIAMI, Ariz, Oct. 21. (P)-Fur- ther development of what is declared to be one of the most promising mining properties in central Arizona is planned by Fred Whitton and O.
 K. Hartley, of Miami, owners and leasors of the Single Standard group of claims in the Saddle Mountain mining district The group compri- ses eight full lode mining claims and will be developed by the Yellow Beau ty Mining Company.

MONSTER BROWN BEAR
 |S KILLED AFOCNAk

The largest brown bear killed in the Westward district this season was shot just recently at Afognak, ac cording to yesterday arrivals on the Steamer Starr. The pelt measured If feet and two inches.
 For some time the residents of
 that region had heard of large bear in the immediate vicinity but there
 where but a few that had seen him. However, one day, a COW came into the village with half of it's face torn off so hunters at once got out their guns and directly beyond the limits of the town came across the monster bear which had already killed a COW and was setting on the carcass eating! That was the last free meal he ever indulged in for he met his death then and there.
