; Canning Fruits -
! By the Cold Pack Method
' While the open kettle or hot pack
method of fruit canning is quite sat
isfactory, the cold pack system i,
I somewhat easier as the work over a
hot stove i. minimized. The results are
considered .nore uniform, and the
fruit keeps its color and shape some
what better.
The general directions are similar to
the cold pack method for vegetables,
except that for soft, rather sweet
fruits the blanching; and cold dipping
are omitted. The fruit is washed,
blanched and cold dipped in most
cases, packed in sterilized jars, the
jars filled with syrup to one-fourth
inch from the top, partially sealed,
then processed and immedia ely sealed
completely. The time of processing
is much shorter, about twenty min
utes for most fruits. For detailed de
scription of the cold pack process,
the reader is referred to the article
in this column of last Tuesday,
June 26.
To make the syrup for the fruit,
mix the desired amounts of sugar and
water heat to boiling and boil two
minutes. In general allow half as
much water as the capacity of the jtrs
to he filled; that is, one pint of water
made into syrup lor a quart jar.
To keep berries from rising to the
top of jar. wash the berries, cover
scantily with sugar over night, then
proceed as usual.
Jams.
The old-fashioned jam of our
grandmothers' day is coming back in
to its own. Jams are almost uni
formly successful, they require less
labor than jellies in the preparation,
and they can be kept in any kind of
jars, provided the jars are sealed with
paraffine. A general rule for jam-
making is to wash the fruit, weigh it,
and add pound for pound of sugar,
if the fruit is very tart, as goose
berries; or three-fourths pound sugar
to one pound of fruit for fruits of
average sourness. Bring to a slow
boil, then cook gently, with frequent
stirrinj, for forty-rive minutes. Pour
into sterilized glasses and seal. If the
fruit is not very juicy, it .may be
necessary to add a small amount of
water at the start.
Cherry Jam.
Three-quarters pound sugar.
One pound stemmed and stoned
cherries.
Place in a sauce pan and cook until
thick. Fill into jelly glasses; allow
the jam to cool, and then cover the
glasses with paro-wax. Seal and store
in the usual manner tor jellies.
Preserved Cherries.
Stem and stone the cherries. Weigh
after stoning, allowing one-half
pound of sugar to each pound of
cherries. To each pound of sugar al
low one-half cupful of water. Place in
a sauce nan and stir until' well dis
solved. Bring to a boil and cook for

Has Knitted Socks
For Uncle Sam's Fighting Men
"I know how good warm woolen
home knitted socks will feel to our
boys in the trenches in far off Eu
rope and I am going into this cam
paign to do my 'bit' as heartily as I
did in 1861 when the civil war be-'
gan," declared Mrs. Jane Bloor, of
2228 Maple street. "I knitted woolen
socks, and wristlets during the civil
war, during the Spanish-American
war ani now I have set myself to
knit a pair of wristlets or socks every
two days. The women of today seem
to have considerable trouble making
the heel and toes of knitted socks
but if they will see me I can help
them out.'V
Mrs. Bloor, who is 87 years old,
and is the mother-in-law of Rev.
Charles W. Savidge, is very, active
and is at her knitting work early in
the morning and late at night. At
present Mrs. Bloor is knitting wrist

Mrs. Bloor's husband was In the

Potato Prices
Backyard
The potato crop which is flourishing
in a million gardens and fields is be
ginning to have its effect upon the
local market for the spuds. During
the last week the price of new pota-.
toes has steadily fallen, making a to
tal drop during the week of about 15
cents on the peck. The indications
are that the crop will be so good
that even the fellows who are trying
to corner the market and pinch the
public on the prices of this necessary
vegetable are apt to find themselves
without much of a market because
nearly everybody will be digging them
right out of their own back yards
or buying them from their neighbors.
. Berries are here in great plenty.
Green gooseberries, blackberries, lo
ganberries and raspberries are on the
market in goodly quantities and now

GARBAGE CAN IS
MUCH ABUSED NOW
Complains That Spirit of
Economy Is Making His
Life One Not Vforth
Living;.
By A. R. GROH.
'"Times have certainly changed,"
grumHed the West Farnam Street
Garbage Can as it tilted its lid to one
side in an attitude of dejection.
"What's the matter with you?" I
inquired.
"Matter!- It exclaimed. "Matter!
Matter enough. I'm starving to
death, that's what's th.e matter. Didje
see that woman that was just out
here?"
"Yes," I said. "I saw her dump a
whole kettle full of stuff into your
mouth."
"Kettle full o' stuff I" sneered the
Garbage Can. " 'Stuff' ir right. Do
vou know what was in that kettle?
Well, I'll tell you. Half a dozen egg
shells an some cotfee grounds an
some radish tops. Thats what
was."
"Well?" I inquired. "What of it?"
Would Starve on It
"What of itl" exclaimed the Gar
bage Can. "Great swill cars! You
stand there an' ask me what of it
What kind o' garbage do you call
that? Egg shells! Coffee grounds!
Kadish tops!
"Well, I don't see why you should
be kicking, l insisted.
The Garbage Can tilted its lid over
the other way and with an expression
of extreme disgust said:
"Well, I'll tell you, then. Three
months ago that woman used to come
out here and throw away half loaves
of bread and whole bottles of sour
milk, and fruit that had just little
specks in it and pudding , and big
chunks ot meat. And now all 1 ever
see is egg shells and coffee grounds.'

these or to incorporate them into pies.
Strawberries are getting scarce. Those
now on the market are principally of
the "everbearing" variety, and home
grown. All kinds of the usual run of sum-,
vegetables are extremely plentiful and
cheap.
Watermelons and cantaloupes are
arriving in constantly increasing quan
tities, ihe watermelons are selling
at 3 to 3 4 cents a pound and weigh
about twenty pounds each. !anta
loupes are down to 12 to 15 cents
each.
Pineapples are plentiful and cheap.
Oranges are at their usual low and
steady price. There are some apples
still on the market from the crop of
last year.
Cherries the sour variety of home
grown cherries also have made
their appearance.
"Hm-m I What, does she do with
the things now?" I asked.
"Do with 'em!" the Garbage Caa
rasped. "Why, she makes the stale
bread into puddings and the sour milk
into cottage cheese and the leftover
meat into hash, and, of course, there's
nothing left for me. Economyl
Everywhere they're preaching econ.
omy. But nobody stands up for me. .
Here I sit by the back fence in all
sorts of weather and I get nothing
out of it, nothing but coffee grounds
and egg shells."
All Learning Economy.
"I bet the folks in the house are
getting something out of it," I said.
"They're learning economy and their
bills are lower."
"Well, what do I care about them!"
yelled the Garbage Can. "I'm talk- ;
ing about myself, me, A. Garbage "
Can. Why, sometimes I don't even
see a potato peeling for days at a
time."
"What do they do with them?" I
aslfr-H.
Do with em I sneered the Garbage
Can. "Why. they bake the potatoes
and eat 'em, shells an' all. That's
what they do with 'em. You ought to '
hear what the garbage wagon man '
says when he comes around. He feeds
a lot of hogs with the garbage and
he can't get much to feed 'em on, the
way the women are economizing now
adays. And there isn't even enough
for the flies to live on. I used to ,
hava a whole swarm buzzing around
me all day. I guess they're starving,
too."
I moved away from the Garbage.
Can. His sad story affected me so.
