Presidents w latch
Your Step

We think it. advisable to give a
short warning to the presidents with
reference to adding members to their
lodges and renewing unfinancial men,
bers.
Presidents as well as members should
be careful about adding new mem
bers or renewing persons in the H. B.
A. The reputation of the presidents
and local lodges are at stake in add
ing members to your lodge.
If you do not think conclusively that
the health, age and reputation of the
person applying for membership will
warrant such procedure, do not &C
cept such applications.
1t is an easy matter for a person
to live to be sixty-one years of age
and then desire to get in the H. B. A.
Why drum up so many people who are
too old
Presidents and members, watch your
step, be careful.
Quite a few presidents present ap-
plications for members during the
Board and these applications are o'ked
by the General President The o. X.
of the General President d o 8 not
mean that the local lodge must &C
cept aid application. No person
can be admitted to your local lodge
)nly through the local lodge.
Therefore be it understood that all
persons making application for mem
aelshia ID the H. B. A. must go thru

Save the Victory Fruits!

It's none too soon to begin think
ing Of putting up 70 many Of the
luscious fruits that ripen in our VIC
tory yards and orchards at this time
Of year. And even II We don't have
q yard or an orchard, we would do
well to buy some fruits from nearby
markets to put up for winter use.
And thus save blue ration points,
and give ourselves plenty Of good
things besides.
In addition to Just plain canning
fruits and making jam or preserves
or jellies, We can emulate the ex-
ample Of our grar1dmothers. in their
thrifty days, and turn some Of the
pears, crabapples, and 20 on, into
especially delicious pickles. Picked
fruits are always good with cold
meats-or, for that matter. with hot
ones, too-And lend an interesting

Short Cuts
Help

Even little short cuts are i'm
portant in wartime cookery. A
few minutes saved each time =
job is done may count up to many
hours in the course OF months.
In a household where baking
powder biscuits and cookies are
baked often, time may be saved
by cutting them square instead Of
round. After the dough Is rolled
out. criss-crossing with a knife
and then lifting the squares onto
the baking pan is much faster
than first cutting with a cookie
cutter. then gathering the scraps
together and again rolling out
and cutting, as is usually done.
In these days when many fami-
lies send cookies to members
away in the armed services, the
square cut has another advan-
tage. It makes cookies pack more
compactly and travel with less
breakage.
Drop biscuits and cookies are
even quicker to make than square
cut cookies, but their texture
and appearance Is less smooth
and they do not pack as we'll.

back yard, you might try these
recipes:
70 make picked pears, the way
they used to do 1t in fine old Mary
land homes, take quart small, firm,
unblemished pears and wipe each
one thoroughly with q clean. dry
cloth. Now stick into each pear
four or six whole cloves. Make a
sirup OF l pint Of vinegar, 2 pounds
Of brown sugar, favored with one
1-ounce stick of cinnapon. Into
this sisup, as 1t is boiling, put the
pears, few at time, cooking them
until soft. As the pears are done
remove them with a SKINNER, set
them aside and put others in the
sirup to cook. When all are done
pack them loosely in sterilized jars
MI the jars with remaining sirup
and seal. Keep them in a nice, cool,
dark place until wanted.
Spiced picked crabapples are easy
to make, and are so delicious anc
good to look at that they are vel
worth the time allotted to them
Wash about pounds of ripe, firn
crabapples, and wipe them, leaving
the stems on and the skin intact
Put the whole crabapples into q
water, and let them steam until just
soft, but not burst. Do not let then
boil, as that tends to bust" them.
Now put the crabapples in a pre-
serving kettle, into which have gone
quart cider vinegar and az cups
sugar. Add tablespoon whole
cloves, tablespoon allspice, 2 sticks
cinnamon broken in pieces and
teaspoon ginger-all tied together ir
a little cheesecloth bag. Bring thi.
sirup very slowly Just to the boiling
point and cook at just barely boiling
for 20 minutes, watching to see tha

fruit in jars raw or not preheated

that the jar contains too much

about an onion shortage this fall,
they say. The tear jerkers should
be in good supply the remainder OF
the year. Therell be somewhat
fewer potatoes, both white and
sweet, for civilians this season-and
prices are expected to be higher. .
Better plan to store what potatoes
you can, therefore. The spuds will
keep better il not skinned or bruised
in digging and handling. Potatoes
dug in hot, sunny weather-try to
find anything else as we write this
are likely to rot In storage unless
picked up and brought indoors with

out any longer than that anywayD
Skinned, or slightly cut potatoes
can be benefited by placing them,
Immediately after digging, in a very
moist atmosphere, as close to 60 de-
greeS as possible. OMove over in that
icebox, palD AS a result Of this
treatment a new skin forms and
helps keep out rot and protects
against Shriveling. After the curing
period temperature of 60 degrees
should still be maintained, but only
moderate moisture Is needed. If
sprouting starts. drop the tempera-
ture to 40 degrees. BUT don't let
the potatoes freeze, whatever you
do. More beef and veal, but less
pork is predicted for the next few
months. There will probably be
less lamb and mutton than last year,
because Of a smaller lamb crop.

Report to the Housewife

In addition to the plentiful supply
Of utility, or grade G, beef to be
found in local markets this week,
there will be good stocks of utility
lamb. This meat-of which you may
obtain any cuts you choose-is of .
less tender and tasty quality than
that Of the higher grades. and, to
be best used, should be cooked along
the lines of cheaper cuts Of the
better quality meats. There Will
also be available some rib and chuck
roasts in the better grade beef, in
case you are interested, and you will
fnd forequarter cuts in good grades
Of lamb and veal on hand, too. Pork
is scarce, hams are scarcer. Bacon
IL still plentiful, as are luncheon
meats in . good variety.
Stewing and frying chickens are
In fine supply. but baking chickens
are few and far between this week
Few ducks are to be had, but some
speciality stores still have plenty OF
plump squads on hand for the buy
Ing. Eggs are little lower in price
than last week.
There seems 70 b . deluge OF
fresh trout in the fish markets,
along with q lineup that includes
fresh rockfsh, sea bass, Boston
mackerel, filleted cod, haddock,
founder, mackerel and perch, east
ern salmon, fresh halibut and sword
fish. Some bluefish can be found
in some markets and fresh white
fish from the Great Lakes. There
are plenty of buttert1sh, porgies,
croakers and spots. Crab and lob
ster meat are available, but shrimp
are still very scarce. A few frogs
legs have been seen-at price!
Peaches are tops in the fruit field,
with Elbertas way out In front, al
though there are good Hale Havens,
Sun Highs, Golden Globes and Trig-
gems to be had. Some pears from
New York have come in, and there
are fine seckels and Bartletts from
California. Watermelons are only
fair, but cantaloupes, Persians, Ca
sabas, honeydews and Cranshaws
are Of fine quality. Some damsons
have appeared already; there are
nice seedless grapes: plenty Of sp-
piles of many kinds, blueberries and
second crop blackberries and plums
make full list.
If you are pickle-and-preserves
minded, you will be glad to know
that the markets are bursting with
little picking onions and tiny gher-
kins and cucumbers. And right now
Is the perfect time to can or pre-
serve tomatoes, for they are at their
