FRUIT JUICES TO DRINK

FRUIT JUICES TO DRINK
Here's how to can fruit juice for
beverages:
Wash fruit but do not soak it, Re-
move any pits and crush the fruit.
Now heat the fruit gently to 40 F.
! (below simmering) until soft. Strain
it through a cloth bag. If you wish to
add sugar, one-half to one cup of
sugar per gallon of juice, is sufficient,
but remember sugar is not necessary
for the preservation Of juice. Heat the
strained juice to no F. and then pour
into hot jars or bottles, leaving Is
inch head space. Completely seal at
once crown cap bottles or jar closures
with rubber made on" Process in a
boiling water bath for, five minutes.
Jar closures of other types are part
/ tally sealed before the five minute
processing and completely sealed i'm
mediately after.
Juice for Jelly
Perhaps you are wondering about
canning juice for later jelly-making
I when and if the sugar can be spared.
Yes, the home economists say, it can
be done, but there is one important
+ factor to keep in mind: While juices
| for beverages are extracted from the
raw or slightly heated fruit to pre-
serve the fresh fruit flavor, juices for
Jelly must be extracted from the fruit
at boiling temperatures in order that
pectin-the substance which makes
the jelly iell-will be contained in the
canned juice. Therefore, if you put up
juice for later jelly-making, add
apple. crabapple, and ounce to your
list of possible fruits for juices,
since they will yield juice when water
has been added and the fruit softened
by boiling,
Dos And Don'ts
Now for quick refresher course in
the home food preservation "musts."
l. Be sure jars or bottles have no
hicks or cracks.
2. Be sure caps for jars or bottles
will provide an alright seal. Recon-
mended for use on bottles are crown
caps with shiny brown paper facing,
sealed with a Gaping device.
3. Boil bottles or jars, and jar caps
without rubber to sterilizc them. Dip
bottle caps and jar caps with rubber
"madc on" into boiling water quick
ly just before using.
4. Be sure fruit is not overripe. Re
member that one spot of rot can spoil
the whole batch.
5. Do not hold fruit too long before
canning. Keep it cool and we'll ven
tilated until you begin preparation.
Wash the fruit we'll but don't soak it.
6. Remember that time is of the
essence" if you are to pack freshness
and hold onto nutritive values. Pre-
pare fruit in small patches to reduce
canning time.
Z. Observe directions, times, and
temperatures in canning procedure.
8. Fill jars quickly, seal tightly, cool
in air.
o. Store in cool, dry place away
from light. Cool temperatures-ab above
freezing but not over 60 F.-the home
, economists say, are important to the
: preservation of food.

KEEPS THEIR HEALTH
INSURANCE In THE
REFRIGERATOR

The careful mother knows that cleo
trio refrigeration is best because 1t
is the only refrigeration that assures
her that it will be consistently cold
enough to retard the growth of bac-
terra, which renders food harmful. 1t
is the silent guardian of her budget
because food kept there at the right
temperature will remain fresh until
she is ready to use it. Today, because
of the tremendous demands made on
manufacturers by our all out effort,
vital war necessities are rolling OFT
the production lines-not refrlgera-
tors. To keep your refrigerator IN
proper working condition, call serv-
ice man at the first sign of disturb
ance. An oiling, or minor adjust
ment may be all that'll be needed.

This was considered necessary
policy by the rulers or govern
ments which plunged their coun-
tries into war. People in those
days were given to panics if they
knew the real truth. And thus,
until the last day, when defeat
and the collapse of a regime be-
came inevitable, the bulk of the
nation at war did not have a
clear idea of what was going on
in the fighting zones.
Covering up bad news became
tradition among the nations of
Europe which have been peren-
nially at war. Even in modern
times governments have stuck
to that tradition. The peoples of
France did not begin to realize
the tragedy facing them until
everything was lost.
The people of Italy are Begin
ming to see the writing on the
wall only now, when bombers
are visiting them with unpleasant
frequency. The people of Russia
in the dark hours which preceded
the offensive which pushed the
Germans back were told about
the dangers which lay ahead, but
were encouraged by reports of
unbelievable massacres in the
ranks Of the enemy.
Russia Changes Tactics.
Those who have kept a day.
by-day tabulation of the Nazis
since 1941, according to Russian
figures, have found that the
Nazi Army has had about so per
cent more casualties than it had
soldiers.
But Russia, in spite of these
exaggerations, is breaking away
from the old custom of pulling
the wool over the eyes of the
people.
The Nazis have adopted a new
method. Their communicates
and official statements are gen.
orally exaggerated, but in a di-
rection dictated by Goebbels.
Announcements of the success
OF the Nazi forces are more or
less accurate. But on more than
one occasion their defeats have
been greatly exaggerated so that
when the ominous hints coming
from the propaganda factory did
not materialize, the German
people attributed this to the
genius of Hitler, who once more
got them out of a bad situation.
Japan is following the pattern
OF Europe in the last century.
The Japanese army, navy and
air force never lose a battle. The
losses OF the Imperial Air Force
are seldom caused by the enemy,
according to the official commu-
niques. They are always sacri-

to speculation in the place of
fact, and that the American
press can be trusted to observe
disciplines in matters involving
the war.
The argument for exclusion is
that there are bound to be diff
ferences of opinion, which, if
aired during the conference, may
tend to influence it, deepening
Emergencies, that such confer
ences need to be held without
outside pressures, that the re-
suits will be made known to the
public, and that that is all the
news safe to print.
Now, although I hope that the
policy will be changed and re-
porters admitted to the confer
ence territory, still, I think,
there are some words to be said
on the function of the press in
wartime.
Adequate Discipline Needed.
1t is true that the press, as a
whole, has imposed self discipline
on itself. Few secrets likely to
give aid to the enemy have been
exposed in the press, even though
the press had knowledge of them,
and though by any normal stand
ard they were big news.
But the temporary withholding
of facts is not adequate discipline
in time of war. This is mega
tive discipline, and the press also
needs positive disciplines.
The other day, passing through
Chicago between trains, I picked
up a morning paper. The only
war news on the front page was
an account of the sinking of four
American ships at Guadalcanal.
DlScOuraglng news. ENCOURAGING
neWs-from Tunisia-Was buried
in the middle of the paper. The
front page was given over to ac-
counts of food shortages and
civilian nconveniences. The edi-
torial page was full of bitter
criticism of the administration.
Doubts were raised about Russia.
The net effect was the i'm
preston that we were waging a
dubious war with great civilian
suffering, that the administra-
ton and not the war was re-
sponsible for our inconvenience,
and, in fact, that our real enc
mics were in Washington and
Moscow.
MacArthur's Case Public.
In the last few days, Gen.
Macarthur has issued warnings
that the japanese are preparing
a full-fedged invasion of Aus
