D ep art-
With a good many housekeepers it
Is the custom to take down every win­
dow curtain in the house at the period
of spring cleaning. After they have
been laundered the curtains are put
away until fall cleaning or some other
traditional date permits them to go
up again. In the meantime the win­
dows remain bare und unattractive,
and rooms lose their charm. They
are filled with the unobscured glare
of summer sunshine, which, while
tempting in the first days of spring,
Is almost unbearable on hot days in
many parts of the country. It helps
to fade rugs and other furnishings.
When privacy or subdued light Is nec­
essary the only course is to pull down
the shades and incidentally to shut
out most of the fresh air.
Old-Fashioned Idea.
Curtains undoubtedly need cleaning
from time to time, but this old-fash­
ioned idea of housekeeping has given
way to the more modern idea that it
Is not necessary to make our homes
bare, uncomfortable and ugly In order
to have them clean. The bureau of

STRAW BERRY
F L A V O R IN W IN T E R
Method of Preparing Is D if­

You can have delicious strawberry
sauce for blanc mange or Spanish
cream or sponge cake, or any other
dessert you like, next December or
January, if you provide for it now,
while strawberries are at the height of
their season. Or strawberry tarts, not
too rich or sweet, as they often are
when filled with preserves, or a straw­
berry sherbet or ice, or a fruit gelatin,
predominating in this delectable fla­
vor, or strawberry punch for your
parties. The secret is canning a few
quarts of strawberries for later use.
Canned strawberries will not be so
rich or so sweet as Jam, and they will
more closely approach the tluvor of the
fresh berries.
The method of preparing the strnw»
berries for canning is a little differ­
ent from that used for other fruits and
berries, most of whicb are canned di­
rectly in added sirup. You want to
develop all possible flavor in the
strawberries, and also to avoid too
watery or over-sweet product The
United States Department of Agricul­
ture gives these directions: Hull and
wash the strawberries. To each quart
add one cupful of sugar and two ta­
blespoonfuls of water. Boll slowly for
fifteen minutes. Let stand overnight
in the kettle. Reheat to boiling. Fill
bot Into hot containers, and process
for five minutes in a hot-water bath.
This is sometimes called the "hot
pack” method, and Is strongly recom­
mended for all products canned at
home. Since the material to be canned
Is heated to the boiling point or cooked
a short time before being put Into the
cans or Jars, the temperature of the
whole Jar is raised to the processing
point in the shortest possible time.
This results in more certain steriliza­
tion and a better product because of
the shorter cooking.
If you are not familiar with the
management of the Jars and canner
at each stage of the canning process,
It Is advisable to send to the United
States Department of Agriculture for
Farmers’ Bulletin 147DF, “Canning
Fruits and Vegetables at Home.” It
will be sent to you Lee.
G alvan ized Iro n Vessels
Liquid foods, '..eluding buttermilk,
milk, cider and other fruit Juices,
should not be allowed to stand for
even a short time in a galvanized iron
vessel nor should such a utensil be
employed In making preserves. Jellies,
etc. The sine which Is used In gal­
vanizing the utensil will be dissolved
nnd will give the food ao unpleasant
taste and may cause sudden and In­
tense illness.
Flies Spread Disease
House flies spread typhoid because
the common house fly is essentially a
breeder In filth. It breeds in and
feeds upon all sort» of animal waste.
When It corne» In contact with mate­
rial containing typhoid germs It picks
them up on It» hairy feet and ingest»
them, then carries them to the food,
which If not cooked afterward may
produce typhoid.
home economics suggests that If the
curtains used during the winter seen,
too elaborate or heavy for spring and
summer, it would be a good plan to
have a second set made of lighter,
sheerer materials. These would be in
harmony with fresh slip covers and
gay-colored decorations. They would
serve every necessary purpose of cur­
tains, retain softness and charm in
each room, and add to its comfort
Side draperies, valences and unneces­
sary trimming should be omitted.
Sun Fades Fabric».
As the hot summer sun fades many
fabrics, these might be made of plain
cream or white material or of some
guaranteed fast-colored fabric. Draw
curtains would be useful. They could
be pulled back at night to permit the
maximum circulation of air, and yet,
when drawn, their texture would al­
low more air to penetrate into the
room than a shade would.
When need for economy makes It
Impossible to have two sets of cur­
tains, an all-year type of materinl can
be selected that will stand the neces­
sary wear and laundering required bj
double-duty curtains.

I. The Apostles In Prison (w .

The marvelous success which ac­
companied the teaching of the apos­
tles was too much for the Saddueees
to endure. Their Jealous wrath was
aroused to such an extent thnt they
