This is usually added in the form of
sirup. To make sirup. boil the given
amount Of sugar and water, then
strain. Reheat when you are ready to
use. Many homemakers make up q
heavy sirup ahead Of time. Then they
dilute this with water to get as light
a sirup as they want.
Whether you use thick, thin or
medium sirup depends on the sugar
already present in the fruit. Sweet
cherries require only medium sirup;
sour cherries need one with more
sugar. Tart gooseberries also require
heavy sirup, but peaches and april
cots need one that's light or medium.
"A medium sirup is one that has
about 12l2 cups of sugar to the gallon
OF water. Heavy sirup has % cups of
sugar to the gallon of water And
light sirup has only cups of sugar to
the gallon of water. Have the sirup
boiling hot when it is poured over the
fruit.
Even a small amount of sugar i'm
proves the favor and appearance Of
fruits. But some women like to can
their pie frlait' with no sugar. II
you do it this way, add as little water
as possible. In juicy fruits such as
cherries. currants. plums and berries,
add no water at all when you omit the
sugar.

juicy fruits for canning without
water One is to extract Juice from
the ripper fruits by crushing, heating
and straining This boiling hot juice
is poured over the remaining fruit
packed into the containers. The other
method is to simmer the fruit for
two to four minutes before packing
in the cans to draw out the Juice.
Heat slowly to avoid scorching the
fruit
1T is not necessary to sterilize
glass jars to be used in processing.
But they should be clean. and should
be kept hot so that they will not break
when plunged into the boiling water
bath. Wash glass jars in soapy water,
then rinse. Put them in q pan of
warm water with rack or cloth in the
bottom. Bring the water to boiling
and keep the jars hot until you are
ready to use them. Tin cans need to
be washed in soapy water, rinsed and
drained. The lids should be kept dry.
When packing foods remember
that all fresh foods contain some air
within their tissues. In canning it is
desirable to get as much of this out as
possible. Glass jars are not completely
sealed before processing and some OF
this air is forced out of the Jars while
they are IN the canner. In tin cans,
fruits are sometimes exhausted be-
fore sealing. That is, the cans are
filled with the raw fruit, placed in q
boiling-water bath deep enough to
come within about 2 inches of the
top Of the cans. The water bath is
covered to hold in the steam, and time
is counted from the time the space
above the cans is filled with steam."

The Old Gardener Soys:

This Is the time to plant water
lilies. particularly the tender
kinds. There is no other garden
which will give as much return
in bloom as the garden filled with
water plants. 1t is important to
remember, though. that the pool
or pond in which they are planted
must have full exposure to the
sun. However, there are both
day-blooming and night blooming
water lilies, so that by planting
both kinds one can have flowers
at all times. Water lilies require
no wedding and no spraying. but
they must be fed literally at the
beginning of each season. The
hardy kinds can be wintered in
the pools.

ones are cooked or canned very sue
cessfully.
Today we quote from a release from
the Bureau of Home Economics Of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture on the subject of cherry can
ming on a fairly large scale. Next
Friday we shall give you some of our
own recipes for cherry jams and pre-
serves, and so on. Cherries are ripe"
and it's time to 60 to work on them!
The bureau says:
I'm general. canning cherries is
typical of all fruit canning. Most
fruits are definitely acid foods. In
them forms of bacteria are killed
within a reasonable time at the tenn
perature of boiling water. For that
reason all fruits may be processed in
q boiling-water bath, in a steamer
without pressure, or they may be
canned by the open-kettle method.
"Of all these, the boiling-water bath
is the most satisfactory for home can
ming. And fortunately, apparatus for
this is inexpensive. It consists of a
boiler or a bucket with tight fitting
lid. This should be large enough to
hold as many containers as are likely
to be processed at once and high
enough to permit covering them with
/ or inches Of water.
"HAvE the boiler fitted with a rack
50 that the water may circulate
freely under the jars or cans. Dur
ing the processing see that the con-
tainers are far enough apart so that
the water also circulates between
them. See that the water in the can
ner is boiling before you put the jars
or cans in and have the water high
enough to cover them to 2 inches.
Time Of processing varies with the
fruit, and it also depends upon the
altitude of your particular section of
the country. At high attitudes water
boils at temperature few degrees
lower than it does at sea level. There,
fore fruits processed in boiling water
at high attitudes will need to be pro-
cessed longer than those at sea level.
Directions ordinarily give processing
time based on the boiling point at
attitudes Of 1000 feet or less. For
attitudes above / 1000 feet increase the
length Of processing 20 per cent for
each additional 900 feet.
In any case, count processing time
only after the water comes to a full
rolling boil. Keep the water boiling
during every minute of the processing.
And as the water boils away add more
boiling water.
Either glass or tin containers may
be used for canning fruit. Many
homemakers like to use glass jars for
cherries and other red fruits. But If
you prefer tin, be sure to use the sani-
tary or R-enamel cans for canning
cherries, most of the berries, currants
and plums. These red-colored fruits
fade when they are canned in con-
tact with plain tin.

CORRESPONDENT asks: Are
men, as a rule, better husbands
than women are wives. or is


n it the other way about? Well,
II we are to judge by statistics, We
must conclude that there are more
female domestic angels than male,
since far more women than men
divorce their mates However, this is
not fair test, because no matter
which one was to blame in wrecking
a marriage. the husband usually quail
ines for the role of villain and lets the
wife appear as suffering martyr.
OF course, before we could say
which sex gave the best account of
itself in marriage we would have to
decide what are the chief virtues in
the marital relationship, and that is
a riddle that nobody can solve For
the very qualities that would endear
one man and woman to each other
would be anathema to another. which
is amply proved by the fact that 50
many second marriages are happier
than the first.

stance, men are less faithful
to their marriage vows than women
are. Where there is one philander-
ing wife there are hundred philan-
dering husbands.
The curse of domesticity is petty
tyranny and nagging. There are,
naturally, men who enslave their wives
and make of them nothing but hard,
driven, unpaid servants. There are
men who make their wives ask per-
mission to 60 to see their mothers,
or buy q new dress. or to join q club,
and deny them the slightest degree
of personal freedom There are men
who never give their wives even car
fare Of their very own; who audit the
bills, snoop in the garbage can and
who are never done with reminding

NEED PERMANENT

NEW YORK, Dec. "A report
that despite any future business inn
provements a large army of work.
ers will remain totally unemployed
was issued this week by the govern
ing board of the Emergency Relief
Bureau of this city.
The report which covers the period
from January 1, 1894 to June 80, 1897,
declared that "our economic system
is now so geared that the volume of
business activity can be expanded
enormously without a corresponding
increase in unemployment" Pointing
out that the. greatest number of per-
sons on relief in the city was reached
in March, 1886 when the case load
was 449, 900 cases, representing 1,466,-
000persons, the report said that re-
lief had risen 40 per cent, and one out
of every five New Workers was de-
pendent on public support.
