The city council Monday night de
clined to listen to the proposal that
members of the municipal body should
be reduced to five and elected at large,
and unless the people ot the city in
dicate their dissatisfaction with the
ward system, It will be continued.
Councilman Templeton arg.ied in
favor ot the system ot choosing covin
oilmen at largo and reducing the num
ber of counrllmen, but he found little
sympathy, except from Mr. MeUner.
It was stated by Mr. Bridges, ot the
third ward, that his constituents fav
ored the ward system, though non
present waa able to explain why the
ward system would be practicable
under the new constitutional amend
ment that provides tor biennial elec
tions at the same time and place
as county elections and with the same
election machinery.
That the city administration. In Its
wish to retain the ward system with

that will exist through the operation
ot the constitutional amendment
adopted by the people of Oregon In

merits ot the two systems suggested
It Is clear tbat the ward, plan will not
be workable and will have to be
abandoned sooner or later.
Mr. Templeton regretted that the

Canning Fruit Juices
By Laura Buffum
(Domestic 8clcnce Expert of the Na
tional War Garden Commission
Washington, D. C.)
The preparation of quantities of
Lfrult Jellies In these days la neither
helpful toward food conservation or
economical. Sugar Is expensive, but
even If we can buy it without Incon
venience, it Is one of the things
needed for shipment to our Allies.
The alternative offered instead of
Jelly making Is to can fruit Juices.
Juices from grapes, currants, cherries,
blackberries, strawberries, raspber
ries, plums and apples mukes delic
ious beverages. These may be put up
witn a smau quantity or sugar or
with none. Write to the National War
Garden Commission. Washington,
for a free canning manuel, which will
be sent you -.ipon request, A 2-cent
stamp to cover postage should be en
closed.
Sound, clean fruit should be heated
until soft (over hot water, a double
boiler device Is safest). Strain
through a nag, squeeze the bag, or
use a. fruit prees. Inexpensive ones
for household use may be obtained
and they are a great convenience.
Pour the hot Juice at once into
sterilized bottles one level cr.pful of
sugar Into each gallon of juice may
be first added If desired. Fill the
bottles to within one Inch of the top
and seal loosely with new corks,
soaked one-half hour In warm soda
water (one teaspoonful soda to
quart of water), and dipped Into clear
boiling water Just before using.
Place In simmering hot water bath
and pasteurize in this' for 30 minutes
The water shohld come to within an
Inch of tops of bottles. Remove and
press corks In tight. With a sharp
knife sufr oft each cork even with the
top, placing the neck of bottle on
edge of table.
When cool dip each top of bottle
Into melted paraflln or sealing wax,
Eq:ial parts resin and beeswax melt
ed together make good wax. Melt
over hot water. Store In a cool, dark
place. The Commission will gladly
answer any questions written on one
side of the paper and sent in a self-
addressed stamped envelope.
