possible container: for winter use.
particularly with : vegetables. Dj
cnieful attention to Miss Grovel
formulas the canning can be done
with the minimum of sugar, which
Is very Important.
Miss Groves' canning directions
are: ....:
"Food conditions are bringing
many( new problems to the housf,
wire. , The shortage of sugar should
nut lusten the canning of fruit,
since It Is possible to ' preserve
without sugar. Dolling' water may
be substituted for the usual sugar
fcyrup iS caunlug fruits. The sugar
enn he added as the fruit l open
ed. Kuto corn syrup has proven a
vciy successful substitute for su
Kar.' Jellies. Jams or fruits will
aave a slightly different flavor and
be a little less sweet if preserved
wltli karo, but will retain the fresh
flavor of-' the fruit.
"In UBiilng karo syrup as a sub
stitute for sugar, an efiual meas
ure of kuro should be used, or ono
nii.y use half karo andhalf Btigar.
Ail junis - and preserves may be
made by. using three-fourths 01
loss of . the measure of fruit . in
karo or mixed karo -and sugar.,
nit Juices for jellies require a
bout three-fourths of the measure,
in sutrar or karo and sugar. In
using karo for jellies, it Is neces
sary to cook the mixture longer.
It should ' "sheet off" the, spoon
when tested. The juices for Jel
llis may he sealed (very hot and
In heated containers) without ad
ding any sugar, and the jolly may
be made from this as needed III
the winter by adding the usual
niiiomu of sugar, which will then
lie mora i plentiful.
The cold pack method of can
ning fruits and vegetables has pro
ven successful and the housewife
will find It an easier, safer method
than the open kettle. Great caro
should be exercised In the selectibn
of the jars and that lids fit and
that there are no nicks on Iho edge
of the pars and that lids, fit and
are in good condition. It is unsafo
to uae old or doubtful rubbers.
The wash boiler, with a wooden
tack in . the bottom makes a good
camiingbutflt for the cold pack
method. Y': . - ;
A very thing syrup for canning
liny be made by using one cup of
Uaro or, one cup of sugar to three
cups of water, and boiling for five
minutes. Ono cup of karo to two
cups of water' makes a syrup .with
a liltie more body, or one may use
half the amount of the sweetening

KILL THAT SNAKE!
In every community the snake is to be found hiding in the brush, to sling his victim, unprepared.
We must clean out our community of these reptiles, and the only way to do so is with cooperation.
The mail order house, like the snake, is always hiding, hitting his victim with poisonous prom
ises which keeps back the growth of our community. This habit is cultivated by them with their
catalogue values, which rarely come up to expectations. We must kill the snake to make our com
munity habitable, and the weapon is the sword of cooperation. ,.
