Youngsters do too, and they should
be given every opportunity to ex
press themselves at home.
One very good way in which they

Impossible as it might seem be
cause many of these ideas can be
used even though somewhat modi

If the youngster is going through
one of these in-between stages,
simplicity is the rule. H the child

and furnishing* in almost bare sim
plicity with quiet color*. In this
way there will be some way nf
softening the bizarre effect*. In a
few months, their tastes probably

Stock Up on Fruit
NOW IS THE TIME to use sum
mer’s plenty to bolster winter diet
patterns und add nutrition to them.
The gardens, orchards, vineyards
and berry patches are all at your
disposal with their infinite variety.
It's really easy to can fruit be
cause there .Is little to preparing
it for canning, and provided you
take care to follow directions noth
ing will spoil. Besides, well stocked
shelves with a colorful Rrray of fruit
will make wintertime meals so
much more easy *o plan.
Fruit may be canned without
sugar for dietary reasons but. if you
can eat sugar, plan to can fruit with
sugar as it gives a better product.
• • •
IF YOU DEPEND upon home-
canned fruit as a main item for
winter, it's a good idea to make up
a canning budget. For example, if
you serve tomato juice four times
a week, one cup a serving, plan to
set enough aside for 40 weeks. This
requires 40 quarts of tomato Juice
per person. For a family of five
you'll need 200 quarts.
Do you plan to serve appies twice
a week? At one-half cup per serv
ing you'll need four quarts for 15
weeks or 20 quarts for a family of
five.
Peaches, at a half cup a serving
twice a week for 40 weeks will
amount to 10 quarts per person or
40 quarts for a family of four.
If you serve berries twice every
three weeks, at one-half cup per
serving, you’ll need three and one-
third quarts per person to last 40
weeks.
If you serve pears once every
two weeks at one-half cup per serv
ing you'll need two quarts to last
one person 32 weeks. This amounts
to 10 quarts for a family of five.
Do you like to serve fruit juice at
least twice a week? At one cup a
serving, one person will need 15
quarts for 30 weeks. A family of
five needs 75 quarts.

DIFFERENT VARIETIES of fruit
come out better in the canning
process than others. If you will
study these tips and abide by them
you'll have fine results.
Apples to be canned whole should
be bright and red and hold their
shape well although cooked. You'll
find that Jonathans work out nicely
for this method.
For applesauce, tart apples like
Duchess, Maiden Blush, Greenings
or Early Transparent are best be
cause they cook to a mush easily.
Use them at the peak of the season.
Fully ripe apricots are ideal for
canning. Any good eating variety
may be canned.
Firm, well-ripened peaches make
the best canned ones. Select El-
bertas or Hales that are fine tex
tured and delicately flavored.

HAVE YOU EVER found yourself
in the midst of packing fruit into
jars and suddenly discovered that
you won't have enough’’ This
means digging into the storage
closet or running to the store for
more, and then washing and ster
ilizing them. All this comes at a
time when you should be rushing
the food into Jars as fast as pos
sible.
Avoid this by figuring out how
many Jars you need ahead of
time:
One-half bushel ot good-sized,
perfect peaches yields eight

Six pounds of apples yield three
to four quarts.

Two and one-half pounds of pears
yield one quart.
Five eups (about two pounds) of
berries will givq one quart.
Eight to 10 tomatoes (2 1/2 to
3 1/2) pounds give one quart.

After 24 hours cooling period,
wash the jars off with a damp cloth,
dry and label. Store in a cool, dry
place.
